Company: SELECT PORTFOLIO SERVICING, INC.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
SPS has dropped the ball on this foreclosure avoidance program. Seller has been trying to do a short sale and SPS never ordered an interior value. They ordered an exterior drive by only which is NOT VALID when trying to do a short sale for establishing actual value of a property. We were told on XXXX/XXXX/16 that an interior value was ordered and expedited and then on XXXX/XXXX/16 we were advised that they do n't know where their interior value order is. SPS is confused and displaying incompetence regarding a financial matter. Sellers are trying to avoid foreclosure and negligence on behalf of SPS is not a valid reason for seller 's home going to foreclosure.

Company: SELECT PORTFOLIO SERVICING, INC.
State: MI

Complaint narrative:
The servicing of my mortgage was transferred from XXXX toSelect Portfolio Servicing at the beginning of XXXX 2015. I attempted inXX/XX/XXXX, to make my XXXX mortgage payment online, but was unable toaccess my account information. I contacted SPS 's customer service andthe gentleman who answered the call was also unable to access myaccount information. I was told they were a really large servicing companyand it takes time to load all the loans they purchased??!! Was this their firsttime uploading loans to their system? I did as I was instructed and waited untilXXXX XXXX to log into my account and to my surprise my account informationwas available. I logged in set up an account, placed my checking accountinformation into the system, to see a message I was going to be assessed a {$15.00} check by phone fee to make an XXXX time, on time regular mortgagepayment?!!! Working in the financial and mortgage servicing industry for thelast 13 years I know for a fact it costs pennies to process check by phonepayments. Consumer 's should not be charged outrageous fees to processregular on time mortgage payments. I am not delinquent, I am not having arepresentative process the payment, I did all the work, now automation takes over .... and I have to pay for the companies automation? I never had to pay afee with XXXX and since consumers can not choose who their servicingcompany is, I feel it is unethical for the new company to charge for servicesthe prior servicer did n't charge for. After calling in a talking to a servicingrepresentative at SPS, I got the run around before even getting the feewaived. I should n't have to pay {$15.00} for the company 's incompetence. 
Mortgage servicing companies are necessary for processing payments, dealing with the escrows, ect. but since the consumer can not shop aroundand make the choice about who services their mortgage loan, the servicingcompanies should not be able to charge customers for making onetimepayments online.

Company: SELECT PORTFOLIO SERVICING, INC.
State: NV

Complaint narrative:
I fell behind on my mortgage after having to send all of my money to my family in XXXX in order to save their life after the war reached their city in XXXX. My servicer SPS ( Select Portfolio Services ) is only considering my loan for assistance based on affordability and not an actual hardship which caused a gap in income. I hired an attorney to assist me in submitting my request for assistance to SPS. My loan apparently was also recently sold from XXXX to XXXX of Nevada. According to my attorney, XXXX was part of an Attorney General Settlement and this loan is required to be modified as part of that settlement. The fact that it was recently sold should not be an excuse to block me from assistance. My hardship is real and SPS and the new owner of my loan do not care about anyone or actual hardships. They are evading reviewing me for an assistance program that actually looks at gaps in employment. My attorney states SPS does this to everyone. They only review for affordability hardships and ignore actual gaps in income or real hardship cases. My home is only worth about 60 % of what I owe. I truly want to pay the entire amount of my balance, however it appears the new owner of my loan only wants to steal my home.

I have a mortgage in which the legal description is incorrect. I have repeatedly requested that the company who holds the mortgage please correct the error. My title company has also sent an email request. All requests have been ignored to date. The house that has the incorrect legal description on the loan is showing up on the title for the property next door that I am trying to sell. I can not sell that property with the cloud on the title. I need Nationstar mortgage to release the title to XXXX ( incorrect legal description on the title ) and order a new title search and prepare a corrective deed for XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. The mortgage should be for XXXX alone. Again, all requests have been ignored. This needs to be serviced and Nationstar will provide no service or answers.

Company: Rocket Mortgage, LLC

Complaint narrative:
Quicken Loan placed a lien on a lot personally owed in full by us. We had applied and were approved for a VA refinance loan in 2012. prior to that in XXXX 2012, we had changed our property lines and that was approved by the XXXX XXXX county board and filed. When Quicken was working on the loan they received the new approved survey and the new Parcel numbers for each lot, they XXXX attached to the home address and the one owned by us. They chose to place a lien against both my lot and the one that was the home lot. I did not find out about this until they paid my taxes on the lot that was mine. They now state that thier Title search company ( owned by Quicken ) did everything correctly. However, the XXXX XXXX title people state that is not true. I have all info in a form that I can send, this has been reviewed by the WI state banking examiner who are not able to resolve this due to a lack of legal personal. The bottom line here is I was forced to take a second remortgage in order to gain my own property back from Quicken. While Quicken covered most of their cost, they refuse to repay me for the cost of the VA funding fees. We could use some help with this. 
thank you XXXX XXXX

Company: NATIONSTAR MORTGAGE LLC

Complaint narrative:
I have my mortgage with Nationstar after XXXX transferred or sold my note to them. 
On XXXX XXXX I called and wanted to know why I am always being charged fees here and there. Always saying Legal Fees. The person on the phone could n't answer me but said he would put in a request. Still waiting. So since then I went into my account to make a payment and I see that I am being charges FEES of over {$1200.00} and my escrow account increased from last month to this month. My analysis was done in XXXX. I have been paying towards a shortage, if anything it should be less! 
So I called to get an explanation of all the changes and charges to my account and No One could answer me. After being transferred 3 times I finally ended up at the Escrow department where a lady named XXXX understood my concern and said she would send a request to look into it! I am truly annoyed with this company and everytime I call, I am speaking with someone out of the country who can not answer my questions! Why are they gouging me with all these fees thinking that I am too stupid to notice!?

Company: SELECT PORTFOLIO SERVICING, INC.
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
I completed paperwork to finalize a deed in lieu with Select Portfolio Servicing XX/XX/2016. regarding the property located at XXXX XXXX XXXX , XXXX Georgia XXXX. I requested a copy of the deed in lieu documents I signed XX/XX/XXXX and was told by XXXX XXXX of XXXX ( the third party used by Select Portfolio ) that I could not have a copy but I could take a picture of the documents. I then requested a copy of my signed deed in lieu documents from S.P.S but never received them. Instead, I was told that I will receive a copy of them after everything is completed. I am still waiting on the final walk through of the property. Select Portfolio said an inspector came by the property and and deemed some one was living in it. In the past, I had people to oversee and watch out for the property to keep it from being vandalized. I have removed any and all security measures as having a parked car in the driveway and a sign on the fence to give the appearance that some one is living there. I will not be responsible for any damage to this property. I still had to have some one come around to maintain the yard etc. If not, I will receive a fine from the county. This puts me in a slight dilema because S.P.S said no one should be in or around the property. If the person is there to cut the grass, pick up trash or perform a safety check is that allowed? The final walk through needs to be done ASAP because the XXXX lien approval expires XX/XX/2016. This will be the 3rd time the XXXX lien approval has expired. I have requested the name of the 3rd party company who will contact me for the final walk through. Today I was told that I do not need to be contacted or present for the final walk through. ( by XXXX XXXX ext XXXX. Which one is correct? Will I or will I not be contacted regarding a final walk through?

Company: NATIONSTAR MORTGAGE LLC
State: SC

Complaint narrative:
In XXXX of this year I started to receive letters from the mortgage company stating that I was in default on my loan and the terms of the re modification agreement ( Which I can add the scans to this later ). I contacted them to find out how the funds that they had received that I had been sending since XXXX and them placing them in a suspense account were being used because there was a charge of almost a loan payment from the first foreclosure the company tried to initiate ( which my understanding of the HAMP ) they are not supposed to be doing that. So when I noticed it on the bill I contacted them and was informed by an agent of their customer service that the amount I was inquiring about could be paid then or at the end of the loan. So it was not paid because I informed him I would rather it be placed at the end and he stated that was fine. Since XXXX since full payment was not sent on the XXXX even though the contract is supposed to allow me til the XXXX to pay before it is late, these funds were placed in the suspense account. Well in XXXX I started receiving mail stating that I had until XXXX to make a payment of around {$1700.00} or they would start foreclosure proceedings I have contacted them several times via email and have read receipts requesting a break down because the money that to total was placed in the suspense account by them should have at least covered until XXXX given my math, not XXXX like they claim. But they refuse to send any communication through email even though I have authorized them to and they refuse to send the requested information, even though they will send " Service Members Assistance letters '', threat letters to cure the debt, bill statements, suspense account letters, etc. And the reason I ask for the breakdown is because even on their site it does not show the breakdown or what is/was in the suspense account or even have a way for you to see the suspense account. Now they send another letter yesterday contradicting the first stating that I have until XXXX/XXXX/2016 to pay the XXXX they claim I owe or they will proceed with the foreclosure. This company was made well aware before the new modification was made that I no longer received the Social Security Income I did when I took out the original mortgage which is why the due date was for the XXXX of the month with 15 day grace period, but ignored that and any attempt I try to inform them of what is going on. Their modifications are based on income but not things that affect income such as government debt you have to pay back etc. This is a predatory lender and something needs to be done against them before I or hundreds of others lose their home because of this companies illegal HAMP actions, lack of record keeping, lack of providing customers necessary information, etc.

The company XXXX XXXX XXXX which is a subsidiary of XXXX XXXX XXXX filed a default judgment against me for credit card debt accrued by defunct company XXXX XXXX on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX. 

I applied for and maintained a business credit card with XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX before the company went out of business. The debt was accrued XX/XX/XXXX. XXXX XXXX XXXX acquired XXXX in XX/XX/XXXX and this arm became XXXX XXXX XXXX that same year. Since my debt was initiated and established during the existence of XXXX and NOT after the acquisition period, this default judgment is a direct violation of the FCRA, as XXXX is attempting to collect a debt of the defunct company XXXX XXXX.

Complaint narrative:
I have a account with American First Financial and due to a natural disaster ( Flood ) in XX/XX/2016 and circumstances beyond my control my account became behind in payments. I sent the company a agreement and check stating in exchange for payment in full they will agree to remove the account from my XXXX credit report. On the check I wrote in cashing this check you agree to remove from XXXX credit report. American First cashed the check but did not uphold the agreement and remove the account from my XXXX credit report. The company did not return the check or notify me that they would not accept the agreement. FCRA does not demand all accounts be reported therefore a company does have discretions and permission to remove any account it chooses on a credit report. I sent agreement letter and check and American First did not uphold the agreement or notify me prior to cashing the check that they would not honor the agreement. In cashing the check they accepted the terms of the agreement.
