I want to know why they say they do not have to provide me with monthly statements while in chapter XXXX. My understanding is a law was passed in XX/XX/XXXX prohibiting banks/mortgage lenders from doing this when there are issues with the account. 
Please note I pay my mortgage directly to the lender ... it does not go through my chapter XXXX trustee.

After repeated attempts to collaborate with both state and federal compliance agencies to address the predatory appraisal practices of the Texas XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, I am filing a formal letter of inquiry and complaint regarding the flagrant, open, unbridled, unsanctioned and negligent misrepresentation of the XXXX & XXXX agencies that are charged with safeguarding with following federal and state mandates to safeguard home owners. 
The XXXX XXXX, XXXX & XXXX are complicit in acts of moral turpitude by their lack of XXXX federal guideline enforcement that are within the scope of influence and this tax payer funded state agency. 
I have attempted to bring transparency to the injustices committed from the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX agency that fails to discipline violators of the XXXX federal and state guidelines and I have been met with nothing but open defiance and deniability. Either the state agency that I have reached out to for assistance has stated that their Non-Disciplinary measures are within state guidelines or the agency denies culpability and responsibility for the licensed associates in their organization. 
As I have received nothing but dismissive responses to my repeated inquiries it is my civic duty to bring the open and flagrant violations of the XXXX & XXXX agency as well as the performance of Executive Director XXXX XXXX to the attention of every state, federal, executive, legislative and judicial branches until someone takes immediate intervention to stop these predatory violations of constitutional and consumer rights here in Texas

Complaint narrative:
I bought my condo in 2007 at the height of the market. At the time, the builder was offering a special through their preferred lender XXXX Loans. I believe that I was a victim of fraudulent and deceptive practices because at the time I was advised to take out a first and second loan ( XXXX with a 10 % down down payment ). XXXX was onsite at the builder and they disclosed the terms of the first mortgage which were very attractive at the time XXXX 5.5 % XXXX but I was told that their " printer was broken '' and they did not disclose the terms of the second loan, which were very unfair ( 9 % interest with a XXXX balloon ) and well above market stadards at the time. I belive that XXXX was predatory and intentionally withheld the information about the second mortgage. 

Since then, my XXXX loan was acquired by XXXX XXXX XXXX and then Nationstar. I have called many times and spent countless hours trying to resolve this loan. They blame XXXX and do not accept my assertion that by acquiring my loan they also acquired responsibility for XXXX 's fraudulent, unfair, and deceptive tactics. They refuse to help me unless I stop making payments and/or until the 15-year balloon is up and I ca n't pay off the loan. 

I have also tried to refinance the second loan, but the condo is still ( after almost 10 years XXXX too underwater. I have struggled and managed to maintain the loan, but with a 9 % interest rate I can not pay down the loan fast enough to make a dent in the principle and will be in major trouble when the balance is due at the 15-year mark. I do not anticipate having enough equity given the slow recovery of these condos which were all built in 2007 and have mostly been acquired at a much lower price than I through through foreclosures and short sales. Also, the builder and HOA are in litigation that inhibits sales and have been for years.

The loan officer was poor at following up did not make himself available and asked for the same information on a repeated basis as though he had no idea l had sent certain documents multiple times.

All credit checks and preapproval were completed and l was given the ok by the mortgage company to enter into a contract obviously, it was just the inability of the loan agent to close the deal that cost me my hard earned money and a home

Complaint narrative:
I have already filed a complaint with the CFPB against my mortgage loan servicer, Nationstar Mortgage, reference number : XXXX. However, my mortgage loan is actually owned by XXXX Bank, so I understand I must file this separate complaint against them. XXXX Bank had securitized my loan prior to and during the financial crisis. I have been attempting since XXXX to get a loan modification and principal reduction from XXXX Bank through my loan servicers, first XXXX XXXX XXXX, and now Nationstar, but XXXX Bank has always refused, stating that they do n't give loan modifications or principal reductions at all. Prior to Nationstar, my loan was serviced by XXXX XXXX XXXX, which churned my requests for loan modifications for a period of 3 years. When I brought in the California XXXX during the financial crisis to deal with XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX gave me a " loan modification '' that had much higher payments than my previous ones, and then promptly sold my mortgage to Nationstar within days, with an additional {$120000.00} in fees tacked onto my mortgage, making my mortgage greatly underwater and making it so I have struggled terribly financially since then to keep my home, having to work up to XXXX jobs at a time, file bankruptcy, and lose all my retirement. I continue to struggle greatly to keep my home that is still underwater because of this financial abuse by these mortgage bankers, in particular XXXX Bank, which has always refused to modify my heavily securitized mortgage. XXXX Bank just settled with the U.S. Department of Justice for their criminal mortgage practices XXXX XXXX and are supposed to provide relief to consumers in the form of loan modifications and principal reductions. My home is in the foreclosure process, due to be sold XXXX XXXX, XXXX, and I am filing for a loan modification this week, and I want to be certain that XXXX Bank is required under the new mortgage settlement to apply a loan modification and principal reduction to my mortgage as soon as possible to rectify their abuses against my mortgage loan and myself from their criminal mortgage practices.

Complaint narrative:
I 'm writing because I 'm flustered and have exhausted my efforts with Nationstar bank on solving my mortgage problems and hope that you can advise me in a solution. 
Nationstar mortgage purchased my loan from XXXX XXXX XXXX in XXXX of 2013. Since then I have had nothing but problems. My loan is a 30 year fixed rate with the first 10 years going to interest. I am 3 months ahead on my payments. When I receive my statement each month, I have to call them and spend at least 2 hours on the phone to get the payment applied correctly because they have applied the payment to principal. In XXXX, I received a letter from them stating that after an analysis of my account, I was deficient in escrow and my payment was going to increase due to this shortage. My statements for XXXX, XXXX and XXXX reflected the increase from {$1500.00} to {$1600.00}. My calculations show that I will have a surplus of over {$800.00} by the time my property taxes are due, so why the huge increase. My statements for XXXX and XXXX show that I owe {$1700.00} with an overdue charge for $ XXXX.When I call about the overdue charge, they say it is because they received the payment late. When I tell them that I am 3 months ahead on my payments, they tell me not to pay the overdue charge and that they will make a correction. The corrections are never made. Now they are taking money out of my regular interest payment and applying it to late fees. This has cause a shortage in my regular interest payment and they have moved the remainder to principal. They have deducted {$80.00} twice. My statements for XXXX and XXXX have the same escrow balance. Why I do n't know. I have been on the phone for hours trying to get some answers and it ends up in being disconnected, in which they do not call back. When a Nationstar representative put me on hold to talk to a supervisor and I ask to speak with the supervisor, I am promised a call from a supervisor that never calls back or I am disconnected. I have been even told that we are the bank and we can do whatever we want. I have talked to XXXX in accounting and she was just down right rude and mean. She explained that I need to pay {$1600.00} per month. When I asked why they sent 3 statements showing I owe {$1600.00} and she disconnected the call. I did actually talk to a supervisor at one time and his name is XXXX at ext. # XXXX. He told me if I have any problems call him. On several occasions I contacted him for assistance and he asks for time to research the problem and then he never called back. I want a full explanation from someone at Nationstar that knows what they are doing and will go through each and every payment since they took over the loan. Someone that will not put me on hold for 2 hours and then disconnect and make me call back and explain everything all over again to a different representative. A representative that respects their customers.

Complaint narrative:
NationStar Mortgage acting as the Servicer of this mortgage has failed to meet all of its requirements under XXXX and is attempting to illegally foreclosing on our personal home by selling it at auction on XXXX XXXX, 2015 with the assistance of a Foreclosure Trustee named XXXX. The direct violation of XXXX law is based on NationStar Mortgage improperly and unfairly reviewing our loan modification request for relief which was never processed by them because they lost the file and all documents. I submitted a complete loan modification direct via fax and have been forced to resubmit the same package several times at no avail. In addition, NationStar Mortgage has repeatedly denied us help several times and we never get a single person or SPOC to answer our questions honestly or directly. They always have several of their reps pass off our file amongst each other just to create delays. They have mishandled our documents and file several times and failed to properly communicate with us throughout the process. We intended to keep our home and we meet all eligibility criteria. They have never offered any help or relief and continue to threaten to take our home. NationStar Mortgage Mortgage illegally commenced and is conducting a foreclosure while reviewing attempting to find workout relief options for us. They simply wish to foreclose and kick us out onto the streets. They have clearly violated XXXX specifically under the " dual tracking '' clause.. Now NationStar Mortgage instructed and allowed the Foreclosure Trustee named XXXX to illegally start foreclosure on my property. NationStar Mortgage. So there no valid or justifiable reason why NationStar should have denied our request or started foreclosure on our home. As a foreclosure avoidance option, we hired a RE Agent Named XXXX XXXX at XXXX XXXX to handle and start a short sale. We accepted an offer and now NationStar refuses to accept the offer that she submitted in early XXXX of 2015 and said they will continue with the foreclosure sale. The sale is still set and they wont stop it to process the short sale which is wrong and illegal.
