On XXXX XXXX, XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Loan XXXX reinvestigation indicates the loan balances are XXXX, date closed XXXX. Notwithstanding, the loan history does n't show any delinquencies after XXXX.

I 've been disputing this collection since XXXX XXXX, XXXX.

I had my mortgage with XXXX XXXX XXXX in which my regular mortgage payment and escrow to pay property taxes and homeowner 's insurance was included, the amount was {$1300.00}. The loan was transferred to Select Portfolio Servicing and even-tough my property taxes and homeowner 's insurance have not increased, Select Portfolio Servicing has increased the escrow amount to an additional {$53.00} a month making my total monthly payment to XXXX. I find this very unfair and abusive.

Company: NATIONSTAR MORTGAGE LLC
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
Nationstar acquired our mortgage from XXXX in XXXX of 2015 and immediately began showing delinquency of monthly payments, which was not the case. They then began sending me letters indicating payments were missed altogether and further action would be taken to collect the debt if this was n't corrected immediately. sent statements showing two months worth of payments were due even though their own transaction history on the website showed no missed payments and all payments completed. To make matters worse, my credit report now shows XXXX missed payments and several late payments and has ruined my credit worse than it already was. Each month I receive a nasty letter saying my payment has n't been received, even though it has been deducted from my account and shows up on their own transaction history. attempts to contact them have been completely futile as the XXXX or XXXX person on the phone barely understands me nor I them. My last actual conversation with them was a XXXX minute explanation by me of their own transaction report showing all payments made and absolutely no comprehension on their part of what I was trying to illustrate. I 'm ready to sue and have consulted with an attorney on the matter, but my costs will be ridiculous in order to get this matter resolved. Please help if you can to clear this up. I feel as if the company is not a mortgage holder, but a debt collection agency which is trying to squeeze something from me they are not entitled to. I never had a single issue with XXXX by comparison, but these people need to make it right and stop harrassing me about their own incompetence. Thanks

Complaint narrative:
My loan has been in some sort of weird status for over 7 years. There are several issues here. One, in dealing with SPS, they have claimed to be 'working ' with me for many years, however no matter how many documents I send to them they respond by saying they always need more documents, even the ones I have sent repeatedly, and it goes nowhere. The main problem is the loan itself, and how I can go about disputing the entire loan. If I can not work out this issue, where they constantly call saying I am deliquent, or saying they have turned it over to a lawyer, or that I am facing foreclosure or I need to sign short sale paperwork, then I need to fight back against them.

ILLEGAL FORECLOSURE Auction against our home - set for tomorrow, XXXX XXXX, XXXX, XXXX at the XXXX. entrance to the County Courthouse, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. We appeal to the authority of your Offices for consumer protection and investigation of Nationstar Mortgage LLC. 

NO LENDER NAMED on the purported Notice of Default, nor in the XXXX ( expired ) /XXXX NOTICE of TRUSTEE SALE..for an alleged account that DOES NOT belong to Consumer. No records of alleged debt. No " competent and verifiable material evidence '' to prove its claims and its BONA FIDES. Alleged DEBT remains to be in DISPUTE -the issues on its " intentional misrepresentations '' of the nature, character and amount of debt REMAIN to be OPEN. Nationstar could not even agree with its conniving agent Quality Loan as to the amount of alleged debt purportedly owing - with an exceptional $ XXXX variance in its Statement of XXXX/XXXX/XXXX -- - 3 days from Quality 's Notice of Trustee Sale issued XXXX/XXXX/XXXX. 
ALL Nationstar has are documents that anyone could obtain from public records, then stakes a claim against our home by recording its XXXX assignment instrument, purportedly from XXXX in XXXX XXXX, and notarized all the way in XXXX, XXXX! [ Perhaps, XXXX XXXX ran out of notaries ...? ] This instrument of course violates Federal and State Laws - CA Penal Code 115 for robosigning, XXXX HOBR 2924.17 for lack of competent and verifiable evidence to support the same, and then XXXX Civil Code 2936 that provides " assignment of a debt secured by mortgage carries with it the security " Nationstar 's XXXX assignment is of course not supported in any way in its alleged copy of Note in XXXX ( in Court records ) - that is left devoid of any " Nationstar '' marks ... 

ALL THESE and more " intentional misrepresentations of material facts '' and dual meanings per FDCPA ... .as basis for its UNLAWFUL foreclosure auction tomorrow ... for its undue enrichment. 

THANK YOU CFPB for your remarkable efforts in cracking down unlawful and deceitful practices in the finance industry to protect U.S. Consumers from predators who violate laws for their undue enrichment. We trust your investigation of our case would merit an enforcement action against Nationstar Mortgage LLC. [ exhibit files to be faxed shortly ]

Complaint narrative:
Select Portfolio Servicing ( SPS ) did not address our issue. Select Portfolio Servicing failed to provide reasons as to why they placed us in false default in XXXX, and continued to service, by recorded assignment, and discharge, in XXXX XXXX - without any authority to do so. We requested correction of County filed records, that falsely provided a cancellation of mortgage, without authority, or assignment, to do so, by invalid Limited Power of Attorney. Instead of correcting the record to backdate to XXXX, SPS, continued to act as servicer, and filed a false assignment/discharge in XXXX XXXX, without the proper legal and valid authority to do so. In addition, in the process of complaints, SPS admitted that we were in default in XXXX, by assessment of false placed insurance. This is false, as we had insurance, and were not required to purchase additional insurance, and not provided with any NOTICE that any forced placed insurance had been placed. This caused our loan to be placed in false default, and " paid out '' by another entity, just prior to our refinance in XXXX XXXX, by which our payoff check was diverted, and monies pocketed by SPS, and not paid to the proper investor - keeping us in false default for years. It appears, by telephone conversation, that SPS was the entity that placed the false forced placed insurance, and falsely placed our loan in default. 
This has caused title problem issues to our property. We will file a new complaint, and continue to do so, until SPS provides all information requested, including correction of false default, name of entity that SPS sold our loan to - prior to our payoff of the loan, and the exact phone number for the entity that SPS purchased forced placed insurance against us, which caused a false default, diversion of our actual payoff monies, and destruction of our title. 
Thank you.

Complaint narrative:
I originally had a loan with XXXX in 2004. It was taken over by XXXX XXXX XXXX and the terms were changed without my awareness. They changed the interest rate somehow, not sure what happened, but the payments went up so high I could n't afford it, so I applied for a modification. I was told the only way XXXX XXXX XXXX would not talk to me until I stopped making payments. So I stopped. After two years SPS tried to foreclose and put liens against my business. I started making payments again and was advised to file bankruptcy for the house only to stop the liens. I had to sign the modification papers before I saw the terms. This was done by Select Portfolio Servicing ( SPS ). I have n't missed a payment since. They said they had nothing to do with XXXX and XXXX said they do n't have my loan anymore. About 90 days after I signed, they sent me the terms. I had already started making payments on a slightly lower amount that I thought was fixed. I later realized that it was an adjustable that would continue to go up and they did not lower the principal at all. It was added as a balloon of $ XXXX at the end of the loan period. 

I have tried several times with attorneys to reduce the principal as they had promised with XXXX or XXXX. Neither company will help or take any responsibility. In fact they charge me {$5.00} to make payments every month. And, the payment amount keeps going up where I can not afford to make payments much longer. And, they are threatening foreclosure ever time I try to talk to them to correct the terms. An investigation was conducted by XXXX XXXX XXXX, Certified Securitization Analysis. See attached. We paid {$2500.00}. Your agency was copied. 
So now, I have a growing mortgage payment, and a balloon payment, and no relief in sight. Please help.

Complaint narrative:
I began a Mortage modification on XX/XX/XXXX. SPS continued losing documents and did not send a letter confirming having recieved all the documentation until XXXX XXXX. SPS did a property evaluation in XXXX, XXXX XXXX and XXXX. In XXXX they sent a letter stating that I withdrew the request on XX/XX/XXXX which is incorrtect. SPS claimed that they were going to excellerate the modification several times due to their error. The error of not prorperly precessing the modification. SPS did nothing but require me to resubmit an entire package again. SPS is delaying the modification thus forcing the boworroer to pay higher interest than with a modification in place. The borrower has been forced to accumulate high interest cost due to the slow modification process and SPS inabilty to contact the owner and inform him of modification availible for investment property in a timely manner. These factores have eroded the equity the owner had in his property and gavin it to the lender.

Complaint narrative:
I have mortgage loan with Select Portfolio Loan Servicing or SPS. They had bought my loan from XXXX while it was in the process of a modification. It has been almost 4 years since and my modification keeps being denied on the basis of my self-employment income -- income which they have miscalculated each time. A different income is calculated even when I submit the same income information for my modification. 

When I finally got XXXX involved to help me, this miscalculation did not stop. As recently as this past XXXX, XXXX had calculated my income to be at 22 % in terms of my expenses ; yet again, my modification is denied due to income calculation. This has been my second denial with XXXX 's help. I just do n't know what to do anymore with SPS. I am trying to keep my home but they are trying to kick out of home. Please help me!

Complaint narrative:
The Servicing Company to my mortgage - Nationstar Mortgage is attempting to illegally foreclosing on our personal home by selling it at auction on XXXX XXXX, XXXX in direct violation of HBOR law. Nationstar Mortgage properly and fairly review our loan modification request for relief. We intend to keep our home and both of us are in out XXXX 's and have many medical and health issues that have kept myself XXXX limited in employment opportunities. In fact, we were forced to lose our businesses ( XXXX ) as a result of the health related to XXXX and XXXX XXXX XXXX. In addition, Nationstar has repeatedly denied us help several times for several years although we meet all eligibility criteria. They have never offered any alternative to foreclosure programs like short sale. Nationstar Mortgage illegally commenced and is conducting a foreclosure while reviewing attempting to find workout relief options for us. They have mishandled our documents and file several times and failed to properly communicate with us throughout the process. They simply wish to foreclose and kick us out onto the streets. They have clearly violated HBOR specifically under the " dual tracking '' clause. Nationstar Mortgage instructed and allowed the Foreclosure Trustee named XXXX PROCESSING SOLUTIONS to illegally start foreclosure on my property. The Nationstar Mortgage and Know Your Options website gave the result that we are eligible for a loan modification with a lower payment to save our property. So there no reason why Nationstar should have denied our request or started foreclose on our home.
