Consumer complaint received 2022-04-12
Product: Mortgage — FHA mortgage
Issue: Struggling to pay mortgage — 
Company: BSI Financial Holdings, Inc. (WI)

This letter is regarding the business practices of BSI Financial Services. I went into forbearance for temporary relief and was told that if I did what I was supposed to do, which I have, there would be no negative effects from it. The delay in resolving this situation has negatively affected my credit score and my ability to move. I was sent a foreclosure notice despite being in forbearance. They have terrible customer service and are being negligent and unprofessional in their handling of this situation. I am confused, frustrated, angry, and tired from dealing with this terrible company. At this point I believe BSI FinanciaXXXX is trying to steal my home. 
My mortgage was sold to BSI on XX/XX/XXXX. When this occurred, I was still in forbearance with my previous mortgager, which is set to end on XX/XX/XXXX. I tried multiple times to contact anyone at BSI that could explain what was going to happen moving forward, my options after the forbearance ended, and getting any answers as to why I was getting a foreclosure notice a day after being informed via email that I was approved for two FHA Secondary Loss mitigation options. There was no mention of the options I was given by my previous servicer. I have repeatedly called, emailed, and attempted contact through their website, and no one will give me an answer or even return my calls. I have been given multiple due dates for my next payment due as well as different dollar amounts. I have been told that I do not owe a payment until XX/XX/XXXX, but also told that if I do not pay over {$4000.00} by XX/XX/XXXX they will start foreclosure proceedings, and then also told I owe my next payment on XX/XX/XXXX. Instead of going into every detail here, I have supplied a thorough timeline of events. Some of these events are not directly tied into my complaints but go to show pertinent details about the mortgage itself. I have documentation to back up this timeline including phone records, emails, documents, and website screen shots. 
I do not know where to turn for assistance in this matter, so I am sending this to multiple Federal and State agencies, in the hopes that someone can help me keep my home. I can not afford a lawyer, but they can afford many. This company has a D rating from the XXXX and terrible ratings and reviews everywhere I looked. When I read the complaints on the XXXX  website and Consumer Affairs website, I am far from the only victim of this company. BSI has been in legal trouble before for doing similar things. In XXXX, the CFPA found BSI had committed multiple violations of RESPA, Regulation X, CFPA, TILA, and Regulation Z. If more information is needed on this, it is CFPB Docket/File number XXXX dated XX/XX/XXXX. I found this information through XXXX and XXXX BSI Financial did not comply to the legal orders imposed upon them when they were caught breaking regulations. These are peoples homes they are threatening, which for many is their biggest investment and asset, as well as being their residence. BSI Financials immoral and negligent business practices need to be stopped. Please consider taking action against BSI Financial Services, also known as Servis One Inc.
