Product: Mortgage — Conventional fixed mortgage
Issue: Loan modification,collection,foreclosure — 
Company: Ditech Financial LLC
State: NJ

Complaint narrative:
I 'm in default on my mortgage since XXXX. XXXX commenced foreclosure action on behalf the Note/mortgage holder but did not produce the necessary documents to get final judgment to foreclose. Prior to foreclosure hearing in XXXX XXXX bank lawyers falsified mortgage assignment using former XXXX employees acting as XXXX vice presidents, filled another foreclosure complaint on my house under different Docket number ( dual foreclosure in another court, different town, different judge ) and had only copies of the Note and Mortgage. The servicer had no standing in court and had no authority to sue on behalf of the true owner of the mortgage documents. This fraud did n't work and judge ordered to bring all original documents the Promissory Note in particular in 7 days after the hearing or the case will be transferred to Foreclosure unit Supreme court in XXXX NJ where it was dismissed in XXXX for lack of prosecution. During this process I wanted to know who the owner of my loan is since the servicer did n't want to modify. The servicer, XXXX refused to identified to Note holder but few months later another law firm affiliated to XXXX told me its XXXX who has the loan. XXXX sold their servicing rights to Green Tree servicing LLC in XXXX XXXX and for unknown reason placed to payments to my mortgage in XXXX and XXXX XXXX which I discovered recently from my credit reporting agency. Green Tree merged with Ditech Financial. Another Foreclosure complaint was filled in XXXX XXXX and I filed motion to dismiss the case because the statue of limitation 6 years from the default and mortgage acceleration has passed at the time of complaint. The plaintiff and judge scheduled motion hearing and did n't invite me. I discover this misconduct and adjourned the secretly scheduled hearing to later date. I was called for another hearing less then 48 hours on my cell phone to come to the court and I was asked to call the plaintiffs attorney to show up as well. I refused and the court clerk call them! The judge denied my motion to dismiss the case stating there was no evidence of pre-foreclosure sale and no mortgage acceleration to make the previous foreclosure valid complaint. I have all evidence that the judge committed fraud upon the court and I need the CFPB to help me. Ditech states that they own the mortgage and the note but show no prove in court, therefore no standing in court. Ditech assured me that different rules applies to them to foreclosed.This is a great case of conspiracy, Robo-signing, Respa violation, several counts of fraud and due process violation. It 's complicated so please help! 
I have evidence for all accusation.

Complaint narrative:
Ditech has reported a payment with a code XXXX instead of a code XXXX on my credit report. It is preventing me from refinancing and has caused one of my credit card companies to suddenly lower my credit limit. This code XXXX stands for a bankruptcy or foreclosure. I have never made a late payment to them or anyone else. All of my other accounts report all code XXXX with the exception of Ditech. They told me upon calling them that they do not report my loan at all, yet I am looking at it on at least XXXX credit reporting agencies.

Complaint narrative:
I received a call on my phone from phone number ( XXXX ) XXXX, asking for my son, by name, from a guy identifying himself as " XXXX XXXX '' and that he was a representative in the " Mortgage Loan Department '' of XXXX XXXX Bank. I asked him what the call was about and he said he wanted to talk to my son about a problem with his mortgage at, and he identified my home address. My son is not now, nor has he ever been, on either title or the loan on my home. My son is a XXXX yr old full time college student and XXXX XXXX. I advised him that my son was " not home '' but that i might be able to help him as I am a co-mortgagor on the property. He apologized for not being able to see any of my information in his " records '' but wanted my email address so that he could send me the " legal email '' he needed to send me before he could talk to me. I asked what was the issue he needed to talk about and he said that the house was in " serious jeopardy '' due to all of the " back taxes and insurance that has n't been paid. '' At this point I told him ( in very colorful language ) that I was n't aware of any of that but that I was aware of the fact that he was nothing more than a fraud. He responded that I was being recorded and I advised him that I was very glad of that so whoever was recording would have a record of just what a XXXX XXXX he was. He responded in kind and promptly hung up. Out of curiosity, I re-dialed the number that had just called me and was semi-surprised to hear, " Thank You for calling DiTech Mortgage. '' I 'm not sure exactly what this XXXX was calling about and phishing for, but I do know it was nothing legal.

Company: FirstPoint Collection Resources

Complaint narrative:
Debt had been paid by insurance prior to XX/XX/XXXX when I last spoke to the medical management company that billed for the services. Tonight ( XXXX/XXXX/XXXX ) I go t a call just before XXXX from First Point telling me that I still owe {$620.00} for services. XXXX was insistent that I still owed the money and he has control over reporting it to the credit bureaus. He stated that as of XXXX/XXXX/XXXX I still owed {$620.00} and he was attempting to collect it. XXXX was not willing to hear that I did n't owe any money and that it had been paid. After I let him know that he is not able to try and collect money for a debt that was paid he became very argumentative, stating that he can and needs to collect the debt.

Complaint narrative:
Greentree Servicing harassed myself and my family via our home phone by calling multiple times per day every day between the hours of XXXX and XXXX. I was afraid to answer my phone and eventually disconnected my answering machine due to the harassment. Also, we applied for loan modification and restructure and for many months GreenTree kept insisting on more bank statements and would not make a decision. Also, when I would try to pay by phone, they made me pay a service charge for the payment not to be considered late.

Company: Ditech Financial LLC
State: AL

Complaint narrative:
My mortgage was sold to Ditech Financial last year when I refinanced. I have had issues with them responding to any questions I send. I have asked if they were going to assess my account as the previous company had done to ensure that the payments going into escrow will cover taxes/insurance. I got a letter stating they were looking into it. Then I got a letter stating that they were not supposed to assess my account until next year but they were going ahead and assessing it. That has been a few months ago. After I got that letter, I sent another message and explained that I was n't asking them to go ahead and assess it, I was just asking if they ever assess the accounts. I did n't want to owe a lump sum because they had not assessed it. I got another letter in the mail stating they were looking into it. I got my statement for the XX/XX/XXXX payment and the payment amount has gone up by a few dollars but there is no explanation and nothing to show they have assessed my account. I have had a lot of problems getting any response from them and if I do, it 's months later. I do n't know what agency is best to report them to or to try to get help from. I want timely answers to my questions. I have had a few previous mortgage companies and they always responded within 48 hours most of the time less than 24 hours and this company always mails letters stating they are looking into it so it 's always a few months before I ever get a response. I have sent another message and asked why the payment went up and expressed how I hate getting letters in the mail stating they are looking into it. I also explained that I hate that it takes a few months to get a real answer. I am so unhappy with this company that I put a note on every message and payment to please sell my account to someone else who has better customer service. I do n't understand not being able to get quick answers on my account. If this is not the place I need to report them to, please tell me what agency I need to contact for help. I am looking at refinancing just to get away from this company. 

Thanks for any help, XXXX XXXX XXXX

Complaint narrative:
I am emailing you in regards to our mortgage, it has been bought out several times, the current company is called Ditech. We originally purchased our home XX/XX/XXXX, with a 30 YEAR FIXED RATE.. I recently got on Ditechs online customer website. Our mortgage maturity date is listed as the year XXXX!! I have called the company several times and have either not got a returned phone call or " well this is how it is figured ''. Anyone can look an see that there is no possible way this is correct! We have lived here for almost 14 years, the maturity date should be XX/XX/XXXX. Somehow 17 years has been added to the loan and I can not get no one to look into the matter or a reasonable explanation. Yes, we had XXXX modification BUT they dropped the interest rate from 6.25 to 4 percent ... I also, want copies of all documents in my mortgage file, am I legally allowed access to this? If nothing is done this will have us paying over XXXX $ for a XXXX $ home. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Complaint narrative:
I have been asking Ditech for a mortgage modification since XXXX. The first was denied on income so I appealed since I started a new job. I faxed them ALL of the information they requested and have copies of the fax documents and upload reports and when I called they said they had the information. Then on XXXX XXXX they called and said my modification was not approved for lack of documentation and I should send in a letter stating I wanted to apply for another modification. On XXXX XXXX I received a certified letter informing me they are going to foreclose on my house on XXXX XXXX. I sent all of the documentation XXXX with a signature to make sure they have no reason to say that it was never received and now when I call they say it is pending being assigned to a loss mitigation representative. 

I would understand if I did not send/re-send/re-re-send/re-re-re-send the same documentation over and over. It appears they are dragging their feet awaiting the foreclosure.

Complaint narrative:
XXXX XXXX XXXX and Greentree and Ditech are all adding fraudulent charges to my account just to try to take more money from me that they are not owed. I wrote a check to them for my full mortgage payment every single month since the inception of this loan, for full principal and interest payment and they cashed my checks and did not credit the amounts to my account. I called and wrote and tried forever to resolve it with them. then they started collecting my checks and holding them and not cashing them. by miscrediting my payments and then later not cashing the checks at all, their scheme was to then start charging me all sorts of fees and accusing me of being late and not paying. they called many times and spoke rudely and calling me names and threatening me with foreclosure and would not acknowledge the reality of the situation which is that they received and cashed my checks. then they began returning my checks to me after holding them for months. they continue to threaten me with foreclosure. I tried to talk to their attorney who also seems to be in on the scheme and told me and my attorney that I should stop sending checks because if I dont send a huge amount with the thousands they allege are overdue they wont accept the checks.

Complaint narrative:
I have been in a, Short Sale process with Dietch ( formerly Green Tree ) and XXXX since XX/XX/XXXX.The lenders have delayed making a decision on the process. I can not no longer afford to remain in the home, due to a financial hardship due to living on a fixed income, health issues, expensive medical care, treatments and high cost of medications. Additionally, Major home and auto repairs are contributing to me suffering a financial hardship trying to keep the home. I have live in the home for over 13 years, at the time that the home was purchased I was working. I retired in XX/XX/XXXX. My income decreased from {$78000.00} annually to less than $ XXXX.My income can not keep up with the cost to maintain the home. The home is XXXX levels, my health is deteriorating making it difficult to walk up the steps.I have provided both lenders with continuous documentation since, requesting the XXXX XXXX have complied with all documentation requests from the, lenders. I have submitted all information accurately and timely since XX/XX/XXXX.Ditech and XXXX continue to delay making a decision on my case. Both lenders frequently misplace submitted documents and claim that they did not receive them and that my application is incomplete due to missing documents. I have a team which consist of a Facilitator, a Realtor and a Law Firm who are representing me. The team reviews every document that I complete, prior to submitting them to the lenders for accurate, information. I am bombarded with multiple letter weekly claiming that they did not receive the document and states that my request is denied due to incomplete information. IF have been asked to send the same information in repeatedly. They continue to claim that the documents have expired and that I need to updated the same information that I have been submitting all the time. I have not been provided with any justification for the long delay and lack of decision. I have always submitted and honored all request from the lenders. 
I am fully aware of the severe fine that the FTC and the CFPB levied against Green Tree XX/XX/XXXX for mistreating customers. I feel that the lenders are treating me unfairly. I need your assistance with investigating my case to find out why the lenders do not come to a decision on my Short Sale request.

Complaint narrative:
A company by the name of ECMC is reporting accounts on my XXXX and XXXX accounts. It seems that they are reporting student loan information. I have never signed a promissory note with any company by the name of ECMC while I was attending college. A few weeks ago I requested to ECMC to validate the debt that they are reporting on my consumer credit files, and they failed to do so. I demand that the company by the name of ECMC immediately deletes all accounts from my XXXX and XXXX credit reports due to their inability to verify and validate that I owe the debt to their company. They fail to produce my signature on documents. I did not sign a contract, promise to pay, or promissory note with a company named ECMC and that is the bottom line.
