Consumer complaint received 08/26/2015 about Mortgage (Conventional fixed mortgage) with SELECT PORTFOLIO SERVICING, INC. (FL).
Issue: Loan modification,collection,foreclosure

Complaint: My home has been in foreclosure too long due to my servicing company Select Portfolio Servicing , Inc . I have been trying to apply for the Home Affordable Modification Program since XX/XX/XXXX. I have turned in numerous documents requested by the specialist that is assigned to my review. Every time I call the assigned specialist there is no answer and when I speak to someone else they state I need more documents. I call once a month for an update in regards to the review and ask if there is a for sale date. I received a legal advertisement for prevention of sale date on XX/XX/XXXX so I immediately called Select Portfolio Servicing and asked the representative and she stated no sale date. Then on XX/XX/XXXX I receive Notice of Cancellation of Foreclosure Sale Date from the Circuit Court of XXXX County. When I addressed this to Select Portfolio Servicing representative she stated there was never a for sale date. I have uploaded the legal advertisement and court document mentioned.The representatives at Select Portfolio Servicing give false and misleading information to delay the modification process and keep the home in foreclosure. I have spoken with a total of XXXX different representatives there and they are deceptive and seem to be uneducated in what they do. For instance my last call was in regards to missing documents and I asked what was needed. The representative responded with XX/XX/XXXX tax return thats all that is needed. I told her the last representative yesterday said XX/XX/XXXX tax return and XXXX form. The representative responded with yes that as well. At this point I have been forced to file complaints with the CFBP, Florida State Attorneys Office and the HOPE hotline for the HAMP program in regards to the unprofessional delay in processing my paperwork for a modification The delay from Select Portfolio Servicing in regards to the modification has made me ineligible for the XXXX as well based on a conversation with a representative from there. The representative with the XXXX stated I was ineligible due to the fact that my arrears are over XXXX and my home was in foreclosure too long. As of today I have sent Select Portfolio Servicing a whole new complete packet by certified mail, fax and over there website. I have also requested in writing that my review be escalated. I also need your company to answer a question for me. The manager at Select Portfolio Servicing stated that they have an underwriting department that my paperwork will go to when all documents are received and if I have to appeal the decision after the review the appeal will go to the same underwriting department for review again. I was under the impression that if it is an appeal then a XXXX party underwriter has to process the review. So my question is can the same underwriting department with in the servicing company look at a possible modification of the loan after denying it once already?
