Complaint narrative:
I would like to begin on page XXXX of Fannie Mae ( FHA ) application Case No. XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX is listed as {$0.00} As I have previously noted, most loans and/or non real estate debts are huge factors that bring your credit score down and prove to the lender that you are " not creditworthy. '' In the case of a reverse mortgage, the lender wants to see the reverse of a creditworthy applicant to gauge the borrowers inability to maintain the property, pay homeowner 's insurance, and PAY THE PROPERTY TAXES. Wells Fargo ran my credit to ensure that I was a great risk of NOT having the means to keep up with the various requirements of my Reverse Mortgage. In an obvious attempt to deceive the FHA, Wells Fargo indicated that I was " debt free. '' I have previously indicated that my credit score as of XX/XX/XXXX was considered to be extremely poor. I had non-real estate debts totaling in the tens of thousands of dollarsand a lien against my property from a XXXX credit card. I also had a car repossession in excess of {$18000.00}. I will obviously submit a copy of my credit score as of XX/XX/XXXX. As I have previously indicated, a level XXXX aggressive spreading XXXX and the protocol of XXXX sessions are enough to put anybody into debt, but Wells Fargo still scammed me and are now foreclosing on my home. I 'll be more than happy to sit down with the XXXX Attorney General along with any lawyer from XXXX.
