Product: Mortgage — Conventional fixed mortgage
Issue: Loan servicing, payments, escrow account — 
Company: NATIONSTAR MORTGAGE LLC
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
Our loan docs state that PMI may be removed from our loan when the LTV reaches 78 % and allow an appraisal to be ordered in order to obtain a more current valuation for the LTV calculation. 

However, after the appraisal was completed, Nationstar is refusing to honor that document citing XXXX investor guidelines that state that for the first 2 to 5 years of the life of the loan, PMI may only be removed from loan when the LTV reaches 75 % if a new appraisal is required to obtain a more current valuation for the LTV calculation. We never signed anything agreeing to this particular XXXX guideline. 

Further, the appraisal came in much lower than we had anticipated. We purchased our home in XXXX of XXXX and at that time the appraisal came in at {$430000.00}. The appraisal that was ordered in XXXX of XXXX came in at {$470000.00}. This indicates that during the 2.5 years of rapid appreciation of real estate in our area following the bottom of the housing market the value of our home only appreciated a little over 7 %, a claim which we find to be borderline insulting particularly given the comps in our area. 

Since XXXX XXXX, we have been trying to resolve these XXXX issues with Nationstar, but they refuse to cooperate.

Complaint narrative:
XXXX complaint on this mortgage. The first complaint was filed XXXX XXXX, 2015. 
I am still attempting to short sell the property with little to NO cooperation from the mortgage company ( Nationstar ). Since my last complaint, Nationstar asked me for an estimate on the damage to the property from the previous tenant. My agent submitted the estimate within 5 business days. Then they come back and require that I file an insurance claim on the damages, despite the fact that it is a townhouse. When there is no one living in the unit, there is nothing but liability/structure insurance on the unit. The coverage does not include interior damage from neglect. This is clearly stated in the covenants but Nationstar insisted I file a claim through the HOA. I filed the claim with XXXX XXXX. However, they are 2.5 weeks behind in claims and can not send anyone out until XXXX XXXX. Nationstar has been made aware of every step we have taken and we have jumped through every hoop they have required. They have already denied XXXX cash offer and it appears they are attempting to deny another. 
My agent contacted Nationstar ( via equator ) on XXXX XXXX to let them know there was another cash offer on the property. However, the offer could not be uploaded because " the portal was not open ''. We have YET to get a response from anyone from Nationstar. They have ignored our attempts at contact and submitting the new offer. When contacting the investor, XXXX, and making them aware of the current situation, they advised that they felt " Nationstar was not allowing the new offer to be submitted because the foreclosure date is so close ''. 
I have done EVERYTHING to short sell this property instead of letting it foreclose. Nationstar has been dragging this out and putting up barriers since XX/XX/XXXX despite having XXXX CASH offers on the unit. I have done everything they have asked of me ( and my agent ) and they have resorted to simply not responding at all. I am trying to fo the right thing and not let the property foreclose. The foreclosure date is set for XX/XX/XXXX, despite the fact that there is a current cash offer on the table. Anything you can do to help would be greatly appreciated.

Complaint narrative:
Denied refinancing at a lower interest rate by SPS ~ Select Portfolio Services. This occurred while I was in XXXX with XXXX - XXXX. I had a XXXX and per doctor 's orders was not to be on my XXXX this time. I did the best I could, keeping up with my bills while only receiving partial pay of {$XXXX} per week from XXXX/workmen 's comp. At this time I was employed by a XXXX. Approximately two weeks prior to returning to my job they made the decision not to hold my job for me any longer, and I was terminated on XXXX XXXX, 2011. I got very behind on everything during this time period and applied to SPS to refinance my home at a lower interest rate, in order to lower my monthly mortgage payments. They rejected my application, while still charging me a 10.75 % interest rate on my home mortgage loan. According to current laws this is predatory lending. They have me over a barrel, as I had gotten farther and farther behind. I kept appealing their decision and finally they gave me a proposal for repayment which XXXX my monthly mortgage payment from approximately {$850.00} per mo ( which I was unable to afford ) to over {$1500.00} per month in order to repay the monies that I owe them. All the while the interest rate has never been lowered and is still the 10.75 %. We have been fighting them with an attorney for over a year now and they recently denied our filing stating we could afford the {$1500.00} per month for a mortgage payment. That is currently 47.5 % of my gross monthly income, which puts a real financial hardship on our household when considering other monthly living expenses.

Complaint narrative:
Hello Please understand that Select Portfolio Servicing refuse to modify my loan in order to keep my home because i had a PO Box as my mailing address. 
As of XXXX/XXXX/XXXX Select Portfolio Servicing placed me on a HAFA Short Sale since they denied my loan modification application, Select Portfolio Servicing placed a value inspection thru a Brokers Price Opinion which it came back at {$380000.00} After several months under review As of XXXX XXXX Select Portfolio Servicing order a new Brokers Price Opinion hiring a new company to perform the evaluation, A few weeks later, the new report came back at {$550000.00} as the new value. 
As of XXXX XXXX i disputed the value since it did n't make any sense that the value increased almost {$200000.00} in just a few months. 

Select Portfolio Servicing refuse to take the report that i prepared for them to dispute the value, i spoke to a manager from the ombudsman dept. who told me that in order to dispute the value i will have to pay for an appraisal out my pocket. 
So i did, i paid for a Licensed appraisal to go out to my home and confirm the value, a few days later i received the full report showing that the value was {$400000.00}. 

Now Select Portfolio Servicing is refusing to use the Appraisal that Select Portfolio Servicing forced me to pay for in order to dispute the value, i requested for a manager since this is ridiculous that they keep providing me with misleading information and now they just refuse to help me avoid foreclosure. 

Please help since all im trying to do is now sell my home in order for me to avoid foreclosure. 

XXXX XXXX

Complaint narrative:
I am trying to do a short sale on my home in order to avoid a foreclosure, at this point I along with my realtor have done everything that Select Portfolio Servicing " SPS '' asked of us. 
We got a cash offer for XXXX. SPS 's XXXX. shows non comparable properties that are located in a different and more expensive neighborhood " my house is the second largest in my neighborhood '', which are XXXX TO XXXX above value. My realtor who has over fifteen years experience in this area sent comparable examples in the same neighborhood showing the accurate value, but these have been ignored. There is a foreclosure sale date scheduled for XXXX XXXX. I received a letter from SPS dated XXXX XXXX stating I would have an answer in fifteen business days which is today XXXX XXXX. My realtor speaking on my behalf called them today to inquire as to they 're decision, they said we would be told by the end of the month. 
When we mentioned to them that we would be contacting the CFPB they said we would have an answer by next Wednesday " XXXX XXXX ''. 
At this point I fear that SPS will turn down the short sale in retaliation to my complaint. 
Please help me to resolve this matter so that the buyer does n't walk, and I do n't have my house foreclosed. 
Thank you.

Complaint narrative:
I submitted a loan modification package to my lender Nation star. I was given an approval for a HAMP Tier 2. In the documents I received and after a conversation with the assigned representative I was told verbally and in writing that the only reason I was denied for a HAMP Tier 1 was because I did not live in the property. I do live in this property and I sent them the requested documents to prove that I live in the property. I was told that the file had to be re-reviewed. I followed up a few times and each time I was told the file was under review. I called yesterday and spoke to a different representative who informed me that all of that was n't true. That I had to appeal the decision. This whole time I was told wrong information and was left waiting for a review that was not going to happen unless I appealed. Now after all this time wasted I still have no clear answer as to what is going on with my file.

Issue: Loan servicing, payments, escrow account — 
Company: NATIONSTAR MORTGAGE LLC
State: MT

Complaint narrative:
I believe Nationstar has mismanaged escrow, misappropriated payments and is in possible violation of Sections 6 & 10 of the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act ( RESPA ). 



Mismanagement of Escrow Upon receipt of my Annual Escrow Account Disclosure Statement dated XXXX/XXXX/XXXX, I learned that in XXXX XXXX Nationstar made an extra annual payment for my home owner 's insurance, 6 months prior to it 's due date ; the annual payment was previously made in XXXX XXXX. In so doing, Nationstar plunged the balance of my escrow below RESPA required minimum equal to XXXX of total annual escrow disbursements. 



Prior to the receipt of the Annual Escrow Account Disclosure Statement, I was not notified of this untimely payment nor advised of the potential imposition resulting from the significant increase in my minimum monthly payment for XXXX ; an increase to compensate for their mismanagement. Of further concern is the projected annual disbursement for XXXX includes yet another annual payment for my home owner insurance in XXXX - this will make 3 annual payments for 2 annual premiums in a 12 month period. 



RESPA Section 6 My initial correspondence to Nationstar on XXXX XXXX, XXXX requested an explanation for the extra payment made from my escrow and why I was not previously informed. I requested a copy of the invoice from the insurance company for that extra payment and wanted to know what effort was made by Nationstar to validate those charges prior to making that extra payment. I also requested the name of the person managing my escrow. My request was acknowledged XXXX XXXX. 



After hearing nothing, I sent a 2nd written request XXXX XXXX, XXXX, a XXXX request XXXX XXXX, and a XXXX on XXXX XXXX. It has been more than 60 days and Nationstar still has not complied with my request. This is in direct violation of RESPA Section 6. 



Misappropriation of payments Nationstar records the last payment on my account was received XXXX XXXX, XXXX. They do acknowledge my payment of XXXX XXXX, for the month of XXXX, but it is not allocated to my account. In addition my payment for XXXX sent on XXXX XXXX is still not acknowledged as being received. Regarding this matter I have corresponded on 4 separate occasions : XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX, XXXX and XXXX. I have also provided Nationstar with Proof of Payment from my bank. My payments are sent electronically. 



In addition to being in violation of RESPA, these actions represent a significant breach of consumer confidence. My hope is that Nationstar will repair this breach and work to rebuild trust with this consumer. I do not relish having to manage the company whose primary role is to manage my mortgage and escrow. This is my home that 's on the line. It is my credit being victimized. It is the future financial security of my family at risk.

For the second year in a row, I am expected a $ XXXX escrow refund from Quicken Loans. Essentially, I am giving Quicken Loans an interest free loan. They do not pay interest on this money back to me.

We entered into a home modification loan with Nationstar Mortgage LLC. Their address is XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, Tx XXXX. The company is giving us contradictory information concerning our mortgage agreement as far as monthly payments, overdue amounts, one person in the company I spoke with said we are 60 days delinquent and we are not then another person I spoke with said he was not sure and that I would have to contact him next week. We sent in our final paperwork which they said they received but there were several items in that paperwork that was different from the original agreement so my wife and I noted several items we did not agree with and signed the documents and sent them in. The person I spoke with said that since we had stated that we did not agree with some items in the contract that it would have to be reviewed. We are not delinquent on our payments during the 4 month probationary period they had us under, they sent us a letter confirming that we had successfully completed our 4 month agreement but they told me those letters were automatically generated by their computer and basically did not mean anything. We do not want to lose our home through some administrative mix up on there part and I had to check myself out of the hospital against my doctors advice to attempt to take care of this matter. I have a XXXX XXXX that the doctors have said could be XXXX but I can not go back to the hospital with this hanging over our heads.

If that is truly the case this was a tremendous fail with no back up plan and no concern for hardworking consumers
