Company: CITIZENS FINANCIAL GROUP, INC.
State: MD

Complaint narrative:
I was in the XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXr and just got out very recently. Once I got out I realized my home was in foreclosure with an auction date. I did not have a phone or any way to communicate with my mortgage company. I am still suffering from XXXX issues. But, when I got out of the XXXX I reached out to XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX, XXXX who is the trustee attorney for Citizens Bank my mortgage company and with assistance from a friend I sent them a debt validation letter on XXXX XXXX XXXX  requesting them to provide more information and validate what debt they are saying I owe regarding my mortgage, late fees, escrow arrearage and other fees etc. My plan was to confirm this debt so that I can either reinstate the loan or have all the figures to know what is needed to sell my home. The trustee attorney sent me an email saying the received the debt validation letter and they said they would send it to Citizens bank to see if the foreclosure could be postponed in order to gather this information to make a decision to reinstate the loan or sell the home. The trustee attorney nor the mortgage company gave me this option which I really believe was a travesty because I did not have an opportunity or option to save my home from foreclosure simply because I was not available while I was hospitalized. I shared all of this information with both the trustee attorney and the mortgage company but they did not care and said they could not postpone the foreclosure. I do not believe they wanted to hear my story or work with me to prevent foreclosure and make due on the debt they claim I owed either by reinstating the loan or selling my home. Please let me know if you can now stop the ratification of this foreclosure auction sale which happened XX/XX/2024 at XXXX and reverse these terrible events taken by the trustee attorney with the authorization of the mortgage company. I have attached my debt validation letter below that I sent the trustee attorney. Thank you.

Complaint narrative:
On XXXX XXXX 2023- I reached out to Genesis and informed them I was now being represented by legal counsel. At that time, Genesis failed to notate such on my account and has continued to contact me directly as well as noted in my prior concern- after a cease and desist. 

This is not a duplicate concern as Im putting on record that should Genesis review the phone call from XXXX/2023, its clear that I stated I was now represented by legal counsel. Continuing to reach out to me is a clear violation of FDCPA.
