Company: LoanCare, LLC

Complaint narrative:
XXXX XXXX XXXX through XXXX XXXX ( loan # XXXX ) ; requested and was approved for forebearance with XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ) due to covid. At the nearing end of the forebearance with XXXX XXXX we applied for a trial modification. XXXX approved the trial modification to lower monthly mortgage note to {$1600.00}. Trial modification payments were to begin XX/XX/XXXX and we received specific instructions that our loan was being transferred to LoanCare ( # XXXX ) and that our 1st and ongoing modification payments were to be sent to Loan Care. Received notice of approval of trial modification AND service transfer in same notice XX/XX/XXXX. We tried to send the payment per instructions to Loan Care and every trial modification payment was rejected and returned since XXXX. We have contacted them multiple times trying to resolve this issue. We have since divorced BUT have worked together on conference calls and speaking to attorneys to resolve this matter. We have provided loan care with documents from XXXX XXXX showing the transfer and modification, the authorize user ( XXXX ) for the account for the life of the loan, judgments and multiple emails, calls, and complaints to still not have a resolution. Loancare has pulled XXXX 's credit without her permission ( XX/XX/XXXX ), the website shows they received all documents they need and it's in underwriting but yet when we call to get updates we get : " we are missing a few documents, or it's in underwriting ( XX/XX/XXXX and should take 30 days ) and XX/XX/XXXX and should be finalized in 30 days. My question, concern or comment here is -- -Why wasn't the trial modification honored from the previous servicer ( XXXX XXXX ) based on the Fair Consumers Act or the Truth in Lending Act. We have been harassed by notes being left on our door, unnamed, unidentified persons taking pictures of our home and handing us a note to contact LoanCare, Foreclosure notices from Attorneys, extra fees and etc added to current loan, Credit Reporting that gets removed and later put on and removed again, calls to our mobile devices stating " this is an attempt to collect a debt '' all as if we were irresponsible adults that failed to pay our mortgage and that wasn't the case. We faced a hardship and asked for help with previous lender they granted us help only for the help to be rejected by current lender LoanCare
