Complaint narrative:
XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, which is the most recent servicer of my loan has demanded payment from me for a number of years from me, regarding what appears to be somewhat of a phantom debt. This debt has been long disputed multiple times with multiple servicers with relation to the origination of my predatory loan. My loan which was conceived as a National City Bank ( NCB ) line of credit of {$70000.00}, with a rate of 9.5 % interest and placed me at great risk based upon complete disregard for my Tangible Net Benefit and ability to repay. At the time my loan was originated with NCB, failed to protect my future financial interests and ultimately forced my loan into foreclosure as a result of ignoring basic underwriting guidelines as well as violations to The Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act ( RESPA ) which prohibits unfair lending practices. Furthermore, there has been unfounded and incomplete evidence provided by SLS surrounding that the above mentioned loans origination, chain of title and assignments are unclear.

The interagency Statement on XXXX enumerates certain tactics that may indicate predatory lending.

XXXX, which is an extension of The Home Ownership and Equity Protection Act ( HOEPA ) and enacted in XXXX as an amendment to the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ) to address abusive practices in refinancing and home-equity mortgage loans with high interest rates or high fees. Loans that meet HOEPA 's high-cost coverage tests are subject to special disclosure requirements and restrictions on loan terms, and borrowers in high-cost mortgagesXXXX have enhanced remedies for violations of the law. 
National City Bank ( NCB ), was incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware. In subsequent paragraphs of this complaint, National City Bank will be referred to as " NCB, '' " the lender '' or " the defendant. " NCB 's business includes engaging in residential real estate-related transactions and regularly extending credit to persons.
