Consumer Complaint: I have a mortgage that was taken out in XX/XX/XXXX ( an 80/20 loan ), due to the issue of the housing, I stopped making the payment. In XXXX, I filled for bankruptcy and the loan for both mortgages were discharged. I understand now that it didn't remove the lien against this house and it is still part of my home. I have been in contact with the lender and requested a payoff statement ( which one has been received, 2nd Mortgage ) however they will not provide one to me as my file was purged and they will not provide me with a release. I am trying to sell my property and this has been holding up the sale. My escrow company has tried to get them to provide what we need and they have been giving me the run around as to what my next step is from them with no assistance.

Consumer Complaint: This company has been giving me the run around for years now, and there seems to be no solution with them. XXXX gave me a predatory loan, and the court also knew that the loan was fraudulent. They have closed their door and supposedly transferred my loan to XXXX, also Newrez. I am doing everything to keep my home, and they do not want to modify my loan or look at my paperwork to help me catch up. I am tired of getting the runaround and not getting any younger. I am only looking for a solution, and they are trying to fraudulently take my home by raising the prices and adding unnecessary interest, knowing that I can not afford it. I need a Gap Accounting of the full loan and have not received any paperwork to this date

XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Trailing A request for assistance was updated ; a trailing document has been received. XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX site saw that package was marked complete.///called again after work after rather heated conversation regarding the idea that I have not submitted anything new since XXXX, and that I had been told multiple times that my package was complete, that it was being reviewed by underwriters, that underwriters were looking for clarification, that with the confusion regarding the web site and what was needed/not needed that my request would be expedited that now I am being told there is no such thing as expedition and that they now had 30 days from today i decided wait for my scheduled meeting with the new rep on XX/XX/XXXX XXXX email reminder for XX/XX/XXXX appt. XXXX email reminder for XX/XX/XXXX appt. XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX checked website XX/XX/XXXX - schedule meeting with XXXX Said my package was complete XX/XX/XXXX and that they have 30 days from that date to give an answer. Told me that if I made the payment by the last day of XXXX they would not report my account to the credit bureau for being late but i would/could get a late fee. Wanted to discuss refinancing options, explained that I was not interested in refinancing with PHH because I had tried that many years ago and like this situation requirements/processes changed every I reached out to them and that I tried for more than 30 days with no progress and gave up. Tried to tell me that my taxes went up XXXX dollars and that my mortgage increased over XXXX dollars a month because of the escrow account. I explained that one of my many phone calls to them was because i received notice that {$97.00} was added to my principal ( Some time between XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX PHH reported to XXXX that my mortgage balance increased. ) and when i called PHH i was told that was because my taxes were XXXX dollars more than my escrow- he insisted no money was added to my principle and that my taxes had gone up by the XXXX. I told him what would i need to do to cancel the escrow account so I could afford my payment- he said i would submit a form, they would have 10 days and may not allow me to cancel my escrow account because of modification. I said if they dont give me the modification then there is no reason to have the escrow account and without it I would be able to make my payments. Asked if I made or would be making XXXX payment XX/XX/XXXX and XXXX reviewed PHH statements going back to XX/XX/XXXX. There was no increase in principal ( Although PHH reported that to the credit bureaus ), the difference between my taxes and escrow was XXXX and my escrow payment increases by XXXX dollars not XXXX XX/XX/XXXX email reminder of XXXX appt with XXXX not XXXX XX/XX/XXXX started call with consumer site - directed to hope hotline- hope hotline set up three way call with PHH to try and get clarification - phh would only provide general information. XX/XX/XXXX and XXXX reviewed site, phone logs emails XX/XX/XXXX called phh no updates- they need more time Asked if I made or would be making XXXX payment XX/XX/XXXX called phh - notified me that they sent me a letter stating investors are requesting a valuation of property - they need more time- should be resolved XXXX week of XXXX Asked if I made or would be making XXXX payment XXXX appt call not with XXXX although he is my person. need more time just received initial summary valuation from XXXX party but now waiting on word from investors - not underwriting. Asked about timeframe - was told he has 12 years experience multiple times during the call = what do you mean - how much longer 30 days, XXXX months a week? Well it is a third party company dont know when we will get full report, but the initial valuation is XXXX should be no more than a week, possibly two. Lets say three to be safe. Expressed my concerns that now the next notification I would get from them is oh we need new documentation because yours is out dated. No no you are misunderstanding i have 12 years experience, there is nothing else needed from you but we can not move until the property valuation is received and investors decide, then underwriting creates offer. Next rep appt scheduled for XX/XX/XXXX earliest available for my person but if he is not available another experienced rep will be calling. Assured me again that if there are any changes i will be notified by call and in writing ( have yet to have them leave a voice message- they call and hang up- I see it on the caller id that they called. ) Asked if I would be making XXXX payment. XXXX still have not received letter regarding valuation that was mentioned in phone appt. Erroneous report to XXXX regarding an increase in my mortgage principal still has not been fixed.
