Complaint narrative:
I am requesting an investigation of fraud and predatory lending on XXXX XXXX Mortgage and PHH Mortgage. I recently had my mortgage documents reviewed by a mortgage professional because I believed my sister ( XXXX XXXX ) and I were victims of mortgage fraud and predatory lending. My loan originated in XX/XX/XXXX by XXXX XXXX XXXX. I was supposed to be a co-borrower to help my sister buy her first home. I am a veteran but during that time frame I was on XXXX XXXX and was on my way to XXXX. The loan officer had my sister and I fill-in two applications for the mortgage loan. I was advised that I would be the co-borrower for only a few months until they refinanced the loan with only my sister on the new loan. I recently discovered that only my name was on all the mortgage documents of XXXX XXXX Mortgage although during the closing both my sister and I was required to sign all the mortgage closing documents. We were advised because we was bother and sister we had to sign separate documents. However, on the 2nd mortgage both our names are on the mortgage closing documents together. 

The loan officer put us in a sub-prime loan product and recommended two mortgages as an 80/20 loan product. The first mortgage was 80 % and a second loan 20 %. We had asked for a normal conventional loan but we was advised that we would have a regular conventional loan when they refinanced my sister in 3 months by herself. We was also put in a interest only loan for the first 5 years on the first mortgage and an interest only loan on the 2nd mortgage  with a balloon payment. The balloon is now coming due in XX/XX/XXXX. 

I have attached an article regarding XXXX XXXX being held responsible for loans that they purchased from Mortgage Brokers in the XXXX area due to illegal actions with sub-prime lending. I believe XXXX XXXX Mortgage and PHH Mortgage as my 1st and 2nd mortgage lien holders should be held responsible for the fraud and predatory lending on my loan. 

I also believe XXXX XXXX has continued to take advantage of me as a veteran, when they modified my loan in XXXX. My loan was modified to a 40 year loan. My sister has made every payment and the balance reflects very little paid to the principal balance of the first mortgage and nothing on the 2nd mortgage. We are also questioning the value and sell price when we purchased the home for my sister. It appeared the seller and the loan officer at XXXX XXXX XXXX  knew each other. We are upside down on our mortgage and refinancing will be impossible.

I have requested my original mortgage documents from my lenders but I have not received our original applications, HUD 1 and Closing documents to send to your office. I am also requesting a full investigation and I am asking that your review the attached  documents of the government investigation of XXXX XXXX and require similar actions against XXXX XXXX and PHH Mortgage on my behalf. 


Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX
