XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX RE : Mr. Cooper Loan # : XXXX Case # : XXXX CFPB Ref # : XXXX To whom it may concern, We did not know that this loan would end up having a balloon payment when the loan was modified several years ago. Again, we have been on paperless billing for years and I never read the statements, except for the end-of-the-year tax statements. The only other time I logged into my account was to make the monthly payment. When I went to make the XX/XX/year> payment is when I reached out to Mr. Cooper and was explained as to why I couldnt make the regular monthly payment as the loan had matured.

In your response, you stated the below, which is NOT TRUE, we were never provided with the letter that XXXX XXXX  was requesting. I have attached the email correspondence with XXXXXXXX XXXX and subsequent contact with Mr. Cooper. You stated : In the inquiry, you indicated that you were not provided with the requested documentation needed for a refinance that you were approved for with XXXXXXXX XXXX Upon review of the account, on XX/XX/year>, a payoff quote request was received from XXXX XXXX, and a payoff quote was provided that same day. On XX/XX/year>, and XX/XX/year>, e-mails were received from you by our Research Department, which requested a letter stating that the balloon payment could be paid in full. The enclosed letter dated XX/XX/year>, was sent to you, which confirmed that once the full payoff balance was received, that the loan would be paid in full. Therefore, we are unable to substantiate the allegations raised in your inquiry, as the requested documentation was provided. '' Once you read the emails, you will see that the only thing that was provided by Mr. Cooper was a payoff quote, which was not what they were looking for, as they already had that information. This was part of one of the emails. I only copy/pated the specifics to what Mr. Cooper responded to in regards to the letter that XXXXXXXX XXXX needed . Keep in mind that your website was hacked around XX/XX/year> and we didnt have access for a while which also added to the overall delay in getting this resolved. All we want to do is get this taken care of without uprooting our lives. Although I did not want to resort to taking a loan or a withdrawal from my 401k, I did inquire and was told that I can not do either in the State of SC ORP plan so that is not an option for us. 

Fri, XX/XX/year>, XXXX to XXXX, me To whom it may concern, We are at the end of our loan process with Rocket Mortgage. They are asking for a letter from you stating that our balloon payment can be paid in full. I am not sure of the proper wording but possibly a 'payment/payoff extension ' approval letter? We were advised that due to this delay, our refinancing is now in jeopardy and that they need this approval as soon as possible. In case you need this, here is the contact information for XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Please advise.
