Company: SELECT PORTFOLIO SERVICING, INC. (VA)

I 'm trying to do a short pay on the property deeded in my name, the original loan was in my ex husbands name ; so I 'm trying to get the loan in my name. My ex husband was the victim of predatory lending and the mortgage on the home is what lenders call " upside down '', when my ex husband left he filed bankruptcy on the loan and I started paying it so I would n't lose the home. At one point it went into foreclosure because of the monthly payment and I was unable to pay it. I would like to get this mortgage in my name and not have to worry about it going into foreclosure again. I was working with the previous servicing company that serviced the loan and the loan was transferred to another servicing company. The current company has been giving me the run around on the loan, I have submitted all documents they have asked for an even proven that the property is not worth the VPO value determined by an estimate they obtained. The servicing company tells me that the variance is determined by a third party vendor of theirs but will not supply me with the name, they have refused to tell me who now holds the actual mortgage on my property and that I have to deal with them. I 'm not allowed to speak with their underwriters or anyone within the company other than their customer service agents. I 've tried numerous times to go through their resolution department to no avail. I finally decided to do some research on my own and found out that this particular company was fined in the past by the Federal Trade Commission for unfair business practices that caused numerous people to lose their homes. I have a XXXX son and I have lived in this home with him and modified it for his use since XXXX. The previous serving company had come to an estimated value of XXXX XXXX and I 'm willing to pay that, the current servicing company is in no way willing to take XXXX XXXX when I 've submitted document proving its value to on be worth that amount and even offered to show them the correspondence from the previous servicing company. The current company is wanting XXXX XXXX more. I 've asked them to justify to me how they can determine the property is worth more than the previous servicing company. Their customer service agents do not forward my estimates when I turn them in and then I 'm told the final decision has been made. Honestly, I think the company is trying to push me into a foreclosure, they contacted my ex husband and tried to talk him into signing a deed in lieu so they could put the house on the market and sell it. I honestly believe this company is trying to sell my home out from under me using whatever means possible.

Company: Rocket Mortgage, LLC (LA)

Quicken loan and fraudulent claims to get you to refinance with them. This is a VA loan, my husband served his country for 20 years to be taken advantage of and lied to so someone could make a few dollars. The lending agent from Quicken loans specifically told us our payments would be applied to our loan every two weeks as paid and not held in suspense. Once the loan was cleared we became aware of the fact that the funds that are automatically taken out of our account were indeed held in suspense until the full monthly payment is collected, plus an extra XXXX a month and then all of the funds are held until the date the payment is due. The loan we had previously was done the same way and we were emphatic about my payments being applied every two weeks. The end result is we paid XXXX in closing fees to get exactly the same thing I had before. They are auto deducting my payments every 14 days and holding them until the until the due date so we are not getting credit on the interest for paying every two weeks, nor for paying early, nor for paying extra monthly. I was directly mislead on how my funds would be credited in order to claim XXXX + in closing fees. When I complained to QL I was told that they have retrained their lenders to not tell people this but they were unable to do anything for us. We requested that they refund the fees they charged to gain my business by lying to us and we were told that was not their problem and they could not refund any money.

I contacted the new mortgage company, XXXX XXXX XXXX to verify the transaction. They provided me with a document that showed that XXXX XXXX XXXX had transferred, through XXXX {$270000.00} to BB & T on XXXX XXXX, 2016. I have called the mortgage lending group of BB & T almost every day since then to check on the status of the wire transfer. I have called all of the parties involved XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, and BB & T multiple times and am unable to get a clear answer on exactly what happened to the {$270000.00} ). The money seemed to have disappeared : XXXX claims they have records of the transfer and BB & T seems to have no records of the transfer. And I seem to be on the hook for two mortgage payments now.

They claimed that I owed their client XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX apartments in XXXX, AL XXXX {$50.00} from over a year ago and that this unpaid balance had gone into collection. I explained to XXXX XXXX that I paid this balance when I moved out. I also faxed Rent Recovery Solutions a credit card statement proving that I paid this balance to the XXXX. I called XXXX XXXX back after sending the fax and she said she would take a look at it and contact the XXXX. She said that she would contact me again if there were any problems or if any other information was needed from me. I made it very clear to her that this debt is false and that I DO NOT want this on my credit report. I made it very clear to her to CALL ME if this error was not resolved. I never received a phone call back so I assumed this was taken care of. Well I just checked my credit report today ( XXXX XXXX, 2015 ) and of course this collection is now on my credit reports, drastically reducing my scores. I have called Rent Recovery and keep getting sent to voice mails and transferred around. They KNOWINGLY reported this FALSE debt on my report, even after I sent them information proving it was paid.

In XXXX I applied to lower my payments. My application was never processed. I was then told I needed to pay money to exit the payment program I was in which I was never asked to do. I did this and I had to reapply. This whole process delayed about XXXX months and forbearance had to be added to my account and interest capitilized. I was also told that my payment would lower based upon the information I provided over the phone. My payment did not lower. I was threatened wage garnishment if I did not pay. When I complained about how long this process took, they back dated my payments XXXX months. I disputed this and when I asked if I could afford to come up with XXXX months of payments if they could credit them as showing timely due to this poor decision, they declined and if I made the payments they would show as late. I refused until they would resolve my loan. This has caused me extreme distress especially because they call me and email me constantly advising me how late my account is showing. I was then called and told that if I made XXXX payment on XXXX, they would apply a XXXX month administrative forbearance on my account. I had no other issue because I didnt want my credit damaged but they would not reverse all of the interest that kept capitalizing. I made a payment on XXXX. I was then told they could not apply any administrative forbearance on my account and refused to give me even a regular forbearance.

Issue: Trouble during payment process — 
Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY (NY)

Another Fraudulent Wells Fargo Practice Home Mortgages ( Misapplication of Loan Pre-payments ) My wife and I have a home mortgage with Wells Fargo ( origination XXXX XXXX ). During XXXX we began making additional payments to build equity and, hopefully, payoff the mortgage before the end of the stated term. We communicated our intent for additional payments to be applied to principal. Indeed, Wells Fargo appropriately applied our additional payments to principal until XX/XX/XXXX. 

However, in XXXX XXXX, for some mysterious reason, Wells Fargo applied our additional payment to the XXXX XXXX principal and interest payment ( i.e., a pre-payment of the following months mortgage payment ). Wells Fargo failed to notify us of this change in method of applying additional payments. Wells Fargo representatives indicate that the reason the payment was not applied to principal was because we did not provide specific instructions for that payment to Wells Fargo. This explanation was shamelessly provided notwithstanding the fact that previous payments were appropriately applied without specific instructions. Wells Fargos explanation is even more unbelievable when you consider the fact that we made our regularly scheduled payment in the following month ( in XXXX XXXX ). At that point, it was obvious that our intent was NOT to pre-pay the XXXX XXXX mortgage principal/interest amounts. 

Note : We pay our mortgage electronically ( like most people ) so we do not provide instructions for each individual payment. However, we previously communicated to Wells Fargo that any additional payments should be applied to principle. 

Wells Fargo has repeated this practice on several occasions over the life of the loan. As a result, my current loan balance ( as of XXXX XXXX, XXXX ) is overstated by approximately {$2400.00}. 

When brought to their attention, Wells Fargos attempt to correct these errors generally result in additional errors ( e.g., late fees charged to my account when payments were reversed in the system, etc. ). In fact, Well Fargo representatives recently tried to discourage me from pursuing this claim indicating that payments will need to be reversed all the way back to XXXX, which will increase the chance of more errors. I couldnt help but think : Did they really just say that? 

I believe this is just another common tactic that Wells Fargo uses to covertly steal their customers money. The representatives at Wells Fargo that I 've been dealing with have been very respectful and appear to be genuinely interested in addressing my concerns. However, it is obvious that they are operating under Corporate mandated directives that restrict their ability to do the right thing, which is not that surprising given what we now know about the culture at Wells Fargo.
