Consumer complaint received 2023-01-20
Product: Mortgage — Conventional home mortgage
Issue: Trouble during payment process — 
Company: LoanCare, LLC (NV)

During XXXX I was forced to apply for the forbearance program that was offered due to my work situation. I later did a modification and entered into trial payments XXXX, XXXX and XXXX of XXXX  which we completed and the modification was to be completed by signing off on those documents. We took everything to a notary as requested and mailed everything to Loan Care in a timely manner. We continued to make mortgage payments in XXXX and XXXX. We realized that we had not paid XXXX in error which was not considered late legally until the XXXX several weeks later, I believe XX/XX/XXXX, however, we were denied to make a payment online and ended up calling Loan Care to do it over the phone. We were told we could no longer make payments since the documents weren't notarized properly. This was the first time I heard of this issue. I asked what was wrong with the notarization but the representatives told me there were no notes attached. I then asked for a set of new documents to sign and was promised they would be sent to me. 
This is were the problems started. We never received the new documents. Every couple of weeks I would call and get a different representative. I was always asked why I'm behind with payments and I had to explain every time that I'm not allowed to make payments due to Loan Care not sending me new documents. I started recording the phone calls every time I would request new documents. Someone was always telling me my case would be escalated and new documents would be sent but nobody ever sent anything. After 5 months of this going back and forth Loan Care recorded a notice of default on my home because they tell me I never signed any documents. Because of this I'm getting harassed from people calling/texting me all hours of the day claiming to be brokers and giving me cash offers or mortgage companies trying to take advantage. I'm also in the process of selling my home and it's listed as being in " pre foreclosure '' which is making it hard for me as people don't want to pay the value of the home since they think I need to sell it fast.

The issue was never that we couldn't pay. Loan Care wouldn't let us and I believe the situation happened because of their incompetence and negligence. I also believe what they are doing is against the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act. We are aware they have a lot of complaints against them by reading the reviews.
