Issue: Loan servicing, payments, escrow account — 
Company: SELECT PORTFOLIO SERVICING, INC.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
For over seven years we have been trying to get our loan payment lowered to where we can stay in our home. Until XXXX, 2015 our loan payment was over our income. In 2015 our payment was lowered to approximately {$1300.00} dollars but it was still 70 % of our income. We can not afford that payment and also have had to invest money into our property because it was deteriorating. This has been making it hard plus many health issues that we have had. All we want is for our servicer to lower our payments to something reasonable and affordable. Every time they have helped us the loan modification was an in-house, which resulted in our loan balance now being at {$360000.00}, when the origination amount was {$230000.00}. This is a greater than a {$130000.00} difference. We were solicited at least three times resulting in these in-house loan modifications. We are preparing a summary of the history of these loan modifications and the solicitation letters we received. 
We currently try to get a loan modification every chance we get, and we get turned down with a letter telling us we have no loan mitigation options. Every time this happens to us, we get harassing phone calls from the servicer trying to get us to sell our home or turn our property over to them. They say that obviously the home is not affordable to us, but when we compare what is being offered in home mortgages in the market place to our situation we know that our home would be affordable if the servicer had not ruined our credit. We have now asked the servicer to comply with RESPA laws regarding answering our questions that we have asked repeatedly before. We are attaching the last letter we sent to our servicer. We waited to see if we would get response from them within 5 days regarding our Qualified Written Request before we forwarded this letter to CFPB. We hope, with help from the CFPB, we will get some results on a loan modification that will give us a payment that we can afford. We do n't care if they even raise our mortgage balance again ; we just need to have payments that we can make on time.

I requested HMDA data from Quicken Mortgage on XXXX XXXX, 2016. I have not received a response. I followed up by telephone on XXXX XXXX.

Complaint narrative:
On XXXX/XXXX/15 I went to pay My Nationstar Mortgage online and the bill had quadrupled. Nationstar has decided to quadrupled my mortgage and the previous statement that was sent to me in the mail in XXXX did not reflect this change. I had never escrowed my taxes before, but had been late the previous year, but was in a payment plan with XXXX XXXX on my property so I never thought I needed to worry about it. Nationstar was no collecting on the bill I was in a payment plan with and all future " estimated '' tax bills. I was n't prepared. I called but the call center was closed so on XXXX I called immediately in the morning. A representative said that they would look into it and see what they could do. I told her that I always pay my mortgage on the last day of the month and that I did not want a ding on my credit. She assured me that this would not happen. They told that I should refinance and start the paperwork with them and that would stop any action. I sent in some paperwork, but then decided that I did not think that this was wise, and that I should look into selling the home. On XXXX, I received a revised bill, which I immediately paid, only reduced by a XXXX, and Nationstar reported the payment as late even though they told me that they were working on the bill and that they were changing it. This is a predatory practice, and they are wrong. I was never late with a payment, and struggled to pay the mortgage until I sold, and I did, every single month while raising my child as a single mother and they preyed on me. I owned my home and had stellar credit. I put the house up for sell, and now because of the late payment they put on my credit report for their misdirection, it could prevent me from buying again because of the drop in my credit score, which they wanted to happen so they could force me to finance with them, or do a homeowner hardship program, which I did not need. They also required me to pay my mortgage through the XXXX account when I had a problem with my checking account withdrawal through them for some reason and they monogram would not take payments over {$2500.00}, forcing the consumer to pay all kinds of money transfer fees on top of the payments, and XXXX will only transfer that amount daily, which also resulted in a late payment for XXXX day late in XXXX They also remove electronics documents from the customer logins that they may have sent you over time so that you can not see actions that they may have taken when you go back to look.

Complaint narrative:
I am filing a complaint yet again against the Mortgage ervicing company Select Portfolio. 
I just received a call from them that my mortgage was being referred to a lawyer for foreclosure proceedings. This after I requested and did no receive the following information. A breakdown of all fees on my mortgage being number one. The info they sent me about this was completely wrong and had nothing to do with the accumulated fees. 
I had also requested that an original copy of the legal promisory note be sent to the lawyer they use to preform the foreclosure process, so that I may exam it and make sure they actually have the right to foreclose on me and to be sure that the original note is not out there somewhere else in someone elses hands and can come back to haunt me later. I demand to see the original and I have a right to see the original. 
I have absolutely no faith in this company working with me in an honest fasion and I would hope that they would be investigated for their practices. They tell you one thing then do another.

Complaint narrative:
There appears to be a resolution miscommunication between Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) and Nationstar regarding my complaint ( case # XXXX ). In the email I received from CFPB today ( XXXX XXXX ), you indicate Nationstar has provided a partial response to the aforementioned complaint with steps taken so far to address my issue and I should hear from them within XXXX days. After viewing the response, Nationstar indicates they will respond within XXXX days from the date of the letter ( XXXX XXXX, XXXX ). The company 's response does not identify any steps taken as per your message when the path identified in your Auto-Response section is clicked. You are directed back to the 'Complaint List ' without any additional information. Nationstar has a designated time-frame in which to respond and make corrections to this problem as per CFPB regulations. Your email states within XXXX days and Nationstar states within XXXX days - which is it? Nationstar also sent a letter which arrived at my residence today ( XXXX XXXX ) and dated XXXX XXXX, XXXX indicating they would respond no later than XXXX XXXX, XXXX. I am terribly confused and wondering why there are so many mixed messages regarding resolution. Since there are mixed messages regarding the complaint, I would like to change the dates in my original submission indicated in the 'What happened ' section - XXXX XXXX should be XXXX. Also, in the 'Desired Resolution ' section, the XXXX and XXXX XXXX should be XXXX and XXXX XXXX. The mistake made was a typographical error.

I immediately called Nationstar to check on the status and spoke to a customer service agent XXXX at ext. XXXX which lasted 37 min., 41 sec. Per XXXX, XXXX did nothing to rectify the error but she would send to the appropriate division and the error would be taken care of in 3 business days. I called Nationstar Mortgage 3 days later on XXXX XXXX @ XXXX and spoke to XXXX at ext. XXXX she told me that the error was not corrected which prompted me to speak to a manager. I was transferred to XXXX XXXX at ext. XXXX. Per XXXX, he sees the error and will correct within 5 business days. I called and left a message on XXXX voice mail XXXX XXXX @ XXXX no return call so I called to leave another message on XXXX voice mail XXXX XXXX @ XXXX but I was disconnected during the transfer. I called back and left a 2nd voice mail for XXXX on XXXX XXXX @ XXXX No return call so I called and left a 3rd message for XXXX on XXXX XXXX @ XXXX I received a return call from XXXX on XXXX XXXX @ XXXX this phone call lasted 12 min., 4 sec. Per XXXX, the error is being corrected but some of the funds are " missing. '' I told him that I have a wire confirmation of the amount received by Nationstar and if funds were " missing '' then it was Nationstar 's responsibility to find the funds but in the meantime the payoff should be applied to the borrowers account so it shows paid in full. I also told XXXX that I would file a complaint with the CFPB if this was n't rectified immediately. XXXX XXXX, 2016 the borrower came in to my office with a final notice to obtain insurance and a mortgage statement showing the error still has not been corrected and that Nationstar is going to force place hazard insurance on this mortgage loan.

Complaint narrative:
XXXX XXXX has a sale date on her home set for XX/XX/2015. A completed thorough investigation on the above mentioned client/ borrowers ' property with regards to requesting the true identity of the " Beneficiary '' and the true " Party of Interest '' has been done.The comprehensive title report " Chain of Title '' and/or " Foreclosure Validation '' show the following error ( s ) have occurred during the foreclosure process.The comprehensive title report " Chain of Title '' and/or " Foreclosure Validation '' show the following error ( s ) have occurred during the foreclosure process.Cal. Civ. Code 2923.5 states a notice of default recorded pursuant to Section 2924 shall include a declaration that the mortgage servicer has contacted the borrower, hast tried with due diligence to contact the borrower as required. The notice of default, document number XXXX, is invalid as the servicer did not contact the borrower in person or by telephone in order to assess the borrower 's financial situation and explore options for the borrower to avoid foreclosure. The notice of default, document number XXXX, is invalid as it had passed the 90 days before issuing the notice of trustee sale ( document number XXXX ). Furthermore, XXXX XXXX has reached out to Nationstar on numerous occasions for assistance. The inability of Nationstar to receive a simple facsimile, email, or simply maintain a file is inexcusable. Most recently, our office has repeatedly sent in information to Nationstar and they claim they did not receive the documents. By unreasonably and unnecessarily delaying the assistance request, XXXX XXXX continues to get farther and farther behind on her mortgage payments. Practically speaking, it can only be inferred that Nationstar has pushed XXXX XXXX farther into delinquency and foreclosure. The events described above are just a sample of the practices that are taking place at Nationstar. Nationstar appears to be more interested in foreclosing on homes and fire selling them at auction to make a profit. It appears that Nationstars lack of participation in following CA. Civ. Codes indicate a preference to profit directly from her hardships. XXXX XXXX is XXXX and it is apparent that Nationstar has discriminated against XXXX XXXX by refusing to review her file for assistance to retain her home. At this time we are requesting that the sale date be postponed, or Nationstar and XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX will be named as defendants District Court Complaint.

Nationstar has been charging me late fees and calling me saying my payments have been late for two years, from the very first payment!! My payments have always been on time, early or in the grace period and I have written proof from my bank. Nationstar owes me late fees with interest and credit for my on time payments. My credit has been adversely affected, and I had to put up with their multiple daily calls while dealing with my husband XXXX from XXXX in 2015. I did n't have time to deal with this then, but I do now. None of their representatives would help at all until I told them that I was filing a complaint with the CFPB.

I had mentioned my XXXX in my XXXX/XXXX/XXXX letter. I believe this is the reason they claimed to not to have received my email. I realize that I was probably too detailed as to what happened, but I was trying to let them know just how close to XXXX I was. I finally sent SPS another letter dated XXXX/XXXX/XXXX and did not mention the XXXX and they accepted that letter. 

We are now trying to send in another Request for Modification Application ( RMA ). I mentioned the XXXX again without all the details except for that I thought that SPS was the reason because I have not been able to work since XXXX of XXXX. I feel like that this is a good reason for financial hardship. I mentioned it again and am sending a copy to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau so that they can be a witness of my letter and that I did receive an acknowledgement from SPS.
