Complaint narrative:
XXXX XXXX, XXXX RE : J.P. Morgan Chase Mortgage Loan # XXXX To Whom It May Concern ; - In XXXX I signed my mortgage papers with J.P. Morgan Chase Bank. 
- In XXXX, when the recession began, I lost my job as XXXX. The company went out of business. 
- In XXXX, XXXX I contacted Chase to pursue a loan modification under the " Home Affordable Modification Program '', as my mortgage was in arears due to job loss and lack of significant employment.

- To accomplish this, I applied and received assistance from the Homeowners Emergency Mortgage Assistance Program ( HEMAP, # XXXX ) through the Pennsylvania housing finance agency in XXXX of XXXX. ( See attached ) - Although the state made my monthly mortgage payments, Chase said that I was late with ( 1 ) required monthly payment during the year ( from XXXX to XXXX ) which disqualified me from the Home Affordable Modification Program ( HAMP ).

How many years does it take Chase to get this information and, is this legal? 
- Due to lack of employment opportunities, an " under water '' mortgage situation due to the recession ( Chase ) and no money I decided that I could no longer afford to stay and that I am fighting a losing battle to keep my home.

- After my livelihood and my life were drastically affected by the actions of J.P. Morgan Chase, and my family and I had to live with my relatives, I was able to secure a XXXX, stipulating that I procure a mortgage by XXXX of XXXX. This involved a major amount of " sweat equity '' for a few years, as it was in need of much repair. The bank underwriters will not consider me due to Chase and XXXX holding me liable for {$110000.00} on my credit report.
