Company: SELECT PORTFOLIO SERVICING, INC.
State: VA

Complaint narrative:
Received notice from XXXX that SPS would be taking over out mortgage servicing and to not send a payment after XXXX XXXX ( next payment was due XXXX XXXX XXXX ). We had to wait for the new account to be established to send in the payment to SPS in XXXX 2016, after we received the paperwork on how to manage online account we attempted on XXXX XXXX to register the account ( unknown account number error ) then on XXXX XXXX ( due date ) we attempted again and the " Security code '' that was supposed to be emailed to our email address never arrived, not in spam folder either, attempted under two other email addresses none worked. The phone number we are required to call asked for account number, enter it and we get hung up on ( tried this 6 times on 4 different days ) ; finally requested the code in writing, no response. Now my mortgage payment is sent in 8 days late ( grace period in until XXXX ) by my bank XXXX on the XXXX of each month and cashed by SPS on the XXXX of each month ( XXXX & XXXX ) however, they call me starting on the XXXX and do n't stop until the XXXX for payment stating its late, today the XXXX they called my private cell phone number which I never gave them so how did they get my cell number? And why are they calling when the account is current? When I call the automated line, enter my account number it states my last payment was made XXXX XXXX and my next payment is due XXXX XXXX. I am XXXX and the back and forth to the phone is ridiculous, having access to the online account would be helpful and I have requested they communicate in writing. There is no need for endless phone calls when the bill is paid, I consider this harassment when there is no reason for the calls, really wish I had a choice about this company being involved in my business.

Complaint narrative:
Loan moved on XXXX/XXXX/15 to SPS. Escrow analysis done. I received letter stating check was cut and sent under separate cover dated XXXX/XXXX/15. I called XXXX/XXXX/15 and asked where check was. They could not locate it and I asked them to replace it. They informed me it could take up to a month to get a new check and said everything was taken care of and the process was started. I received a phone call from them over the weekend, they left a message that I could not understand. I called back on XXXX/XXXX/15. They wanted me to wait to place the stop payment until the end of the week because the check was n't mailed until the XXXX. I told them I would not wait. The request for the stop payment should have been placed on the XXXX to start the research process. I received the check dated XXXX/XXXX/15 at my home on XXXX/XXXX/15 with a postmark on the envelope of XXXX/XXXX/15. When I called today they stated that the check dated XXXX/XXXX/15 was no longer valid and another check was over-nighted to me on XXXX/XXXX/15.

Complaint narrative:
I was talked in to refinancing my FHA loan, one year ago, by my mortgage lender XXXX XXXX from Quicken Loans. He promised I did not need any money down at closing and he was able to secure a large refund from my escrow. My loan number is XXXX. My loan amount was $ XXXX@4.25 % I learned close to the closing date that I would have to bring close to {$1200.00} to closing as opposed to the XXXX amount promised. I was also told that I was getting a large amount of money back from my escrow, so I closed XXXX/XXXX/XXXX and by a week later I was told that I would not receive any escrow back. I was also told on numerous phone conversations that my PM I would be automatically dropped on XXXX XXXX. Which it did not happen, so upon contacting Quicken Loans I spoke with XXXX a quicken Loans client relations at XXXX. She reviewed all of the email and documented phone conversations between XXXX XXXX and myself and she apologized and said that all the things he had promised were wrong and the PM I would be on my loan for another eleven years, costing me a mere {$13000.00}. And that there was nothing she could do to allow all of his promises to go in to affect because it would be against the law and if I would have never refinanced with them, the PMI would have automatically come off XX/XX/XXXX- but due to being talked into refinancing the PMI remains s, therefore XXXX XXXX from Quicken loans screwed me out of over XXXX dollars. XXXX XXXX sent me a card and a {$100.00} gift card as an apology for my experience that I had with Quicken and XXXX XXXX.

Complaint narrative:
For three weeks in XXXX of 2013, I tendered payment for the amount which met the party claiming to be the beneficiary 's demand to pay off the mortgage account and release the lien against my property. The payment was tendered in the form and amount which met the demand with the assistance of XXXX XXXX and Escrow in XXXX Washington. XXXX failed to credit the tendered payment to the account and in XXXX of 2013, informed me that they were transferring the servicing to Select Portfolio Services , Inc. ( SPS ). I immediately informed SPS of the situation and they failed to investigate the tendered payment. I informed them multiple times of the failed credit of payment in addition to other title issues and they failed to respond to my questions ( they did respond with information unrelated to my questions in bulk ). 

SPS has also submitted false declarations in order to advance a non-judicial foreclosure. SPS is advancing a non-judicial foreclosure on a non-existent, predatory promisory note made in favor of a company that did not exist at the time the note was made, and non-existing deed of trust which was unlawful in form in the state of Washington.

Complaint narrative:
XXXX XXXX, XXXX, XXXX XXXX, Ca XXXX Loan # XXXX NationStarMy name is XXXX XXXX, I have a XXXX loan which was modified in XX/XX/XXXX to 2 % step up. At the time of the loan Mod, the details were unclear and told to accept as my prior loan was at 6.875 % interest only. I have paid my loan on time and NationStar Mortgage now holds the loan. I work as a volunteer with a HUD approved Housing Counseling organization XXXX and our group have helped over XXXX homeowners keep their homes. I was written up in the Ca. Law review for exposing lenders bad practices. I am writing about the Pay for Success incentive offered by XXXX XXXXwhich states that payments made on time for 1st 5 years get {$5000.00} applied to principal reduction and 6th year another {$5000.00}. applied to principal reduction. I called Fannie Mae XX/XX/XXXX and they verified that I was eligible as a XXXX loan and advised that I should have been given the first {$5000.00}. XX/XX/XXXX. I called NationStar Mortgage and tried XXXX times to make contact. When I was able to speak to someone, it was rude and told that they would foreclose if I could n't make payment. That was not my question. It was about the Pay for Success Incentive. I also wanted to see if I could set my interest rate. I had received notices from NationStar that my loan was fixed for XXXX months.The last conversation was that they apologized for not putting the incentives on paperwork when they purchased the loan. Then I received a call that I was not eligible, then I was. 
I am entitled to this incentive and request your help in obtaining this incentive.

Complaint narrative:
We completed a trial modification in XX/XX/XXXX that we were offered through Select Portfolio Servicing. SPS took 90 days to finalize the modification and then changed the terms of what we were offered in the trial. We were offered a Home Affordable modification. SPS sent a letter stating that they offered that incorrectly and offered an in house modification. We submitted 2 more payments in addition to the 3 trial payments in XXXX and XXXX. SPS sent us permanent modification documents and requested we return them by XX/XX/XXXX and the first payment would be made on XX/XX/XXXX. We returned the paperwork and made the XXXX payment. We are waiting for SPS to finalize the modification. We requested principal forgiveness because the house is not worth the amount of money. XXXX XXXX is the noteholder and is refusing to honor principal or interest forgiveness. SPS did 3 different appraisals. In XX/XX/XXXX, the house was appraised at {$440000.00}. In XX/XX/XXXX they appraised the house at {$740000.00}. The house could not have gone up {$300000.00} in 6 months. We received a notice that there is a status hearing on XX/XX/XXXX at XXXX. We have submitted all this paperwork to the court. Now we may have to have the additional expense of hiring a lawyer.

Complaint narrative:
I was in a joint lease in some apartments and moved out 2 years later. My ex ( which whom I resided with at the time ) renewed the lease for 2 years after I moved out. The apartment complex is stating that I owe {$3000.00} for a broken lease in which my ex broke. I stated that I did not re-sign lease for the consequent years and should not be responsible for this debt. The new debt collector refuses to give me proof of the debt nor will they furnish the original contract which was signed stating that I am responsible, and they are very rude and belligerent on the phone. I have been dealing with this debt collector for a couple of years now and they still refuse to send me proof of debt, however this remains on my credit report. When they offered for pay to delete services, they wanted me to pay first without giving me a letter honoring the pay to delete services. Basically, I really need to resolve this debt, however, they are not giving me any proof of it, nor are they letting me pay the bill without proof of payment or payment deal being offered.

The leasing office XXXX had my contact information including email address. There was no attempt to notify me of the debit. I was just informed the day I called. The total charges were {$1800.00}. They referred me to collection agency IQ Data International. I spoke with XXXX who informed me that I could not make payments and that they would not send me any documentation that the loan exist. My only option was to pay the balance in full and if done in XXXX days it would be deleted from my record. She stated if i could not pay i would need to get a loan from a bank. She referred me to a local bank. The next day i called and decided to make payments and not take a loan out because of the state of my current credit score. I was transferred to XXXX again. On this day she stated my balance was now {$2000.00} that it accrues 7 % interest. She became furious when i told her i would not take out a loan and for her to send me documentation so that i can make payments.
