Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY
State: PA

Complaint narrative:
As a first-time home buyer in XXXX, Wells Fargo XXXX XXXX to take a balloon mortgage as a second mortgage instead of PMI. I did not understand what a balloon mortgage was and trusted their advice. They said I could refinance and roll the balloon mortgage into my primary mortgage in a couple of years. Every couple of years, I tried refinancing and they said I was unable to refinance. They also said they were not familiar with balloon mortgages and were unable to assist. Every time I called for help or visited a Wells Fargo office, they told me they were unfamiliar with balloon mortgages, or they no longer offer them and were unable to help me. I even had XXXX lady at an office say she did not have my phone number and that is why I was never contacted about refinancing ( my phone number was clearly listed on my account ). I also requested an amortization schedule in which they showed my mortgage as a conventional loan ( see attached ). Then they said that the amortization schedule was an error and they made a mistake. 

Loan Origination : XX/XX/XXXX Loan Amount : {$46000.00} Loan Interest : 9.25 % Maturity Date : XX/XX/XXXX Amount paid on this loan to date {$55000.00} Balance today : {$37000.00} The balloon mortgage has now reached its maturity and I am unable to pay the balance and I can not afford to refinance and pay this off. This has been very frustrating and a huge financial burden on my life. Balloon mortgage loans should be forgiven for first-time home buyers and illegal in general.
