Complaint narrative:
My mortgage was transferred from XXXX XXXX XXXX to Shellpoint Mortgage in XXXX XXXX. Before it was transferred I was working with XXXX on a loan modification. I had to reapply for a modification when it was transferred to Shellpoint. I submitted a complete application including my social security benefits I receive for my XXXX children. They kept insisting that I have my XXXX minor children sign a contribution letter saying they contribute the social security to the household income. Finally after months of battling with them they finally agreed that minor children can not sign a document like that and accepted my social security as income. In XXXX XXXX, I received a denial letter stating that I had been awarded a loan modification but it was cancelled for failure to make the first payment on time. I immediately called and explained to them that I never received any information regarding a loan modification. They told they had mailed out a package in XXXX XXXX. On XXXX XXXX, XXXX I received a letter dated XXXX XXXX, XXXX stating I had been approved for a modification, but the envelope was postmarked XXXX XXXX, XXXX, so clearly they mailed it after the conversation I had with them. They refused to allow me to make the payment to accept the modification because it was past due date. I immediately reapplied for another modification but this time was quickly denied because my modified payment would be higher than the original payment. I appealed this decision 3 times with documentation from the Making Home Affordable Handbook supporting my appeal. They still denied me stating that my investor would not allow a HAMP Tier 2 or streamlined mortgage. I contacted them again asking for a repayment plan. I was told they were ordering foreclosure fees and costs and would email the repayment plan. Instead they mailed me a foreclosure notice with a foreclosure date. I contacted them regarding this and I was told that my appeal was denied for failure to submit documents and it had nothing to do with the investor. My loan is owned by XXXX XXXX and i asked if I was reviewed for a XXXX XXXX modification. They refused to answer the question but instead repeatedly told me I was denied for failure to submit documents. When i told them I had a letter from them stating I was denied due to investor restrictions they continued to tell me that was not true. They still will not tell me or provide me in writing the exact modifications I was ever reviewed for. At this time I currently have a foreclosure sale date and I have submitted yet another application for a loan modification. After each denial they have never offered a repayment plan or any other foreclosure alternatives even though I have requested them. At this time, I feel that they have not helped me in any way and in fact have led me to the point that I am at.
