Consumer Complaint: Stop foreclosure on our home iimmiadiately You dont have the right to foreclose on our home there are many issues on our loan this was a toxic predatory loan you dont even hold tiltle correctly on our home. We have all the evidance we need to move forward with a full blown litgation to file suit against sps to recover all of our damages from this toxic loan. We are prepared to file full blown litgation against select portfolio for all the damages on this very toxic loan. We have asked for your company select portfolio servicing inc to investigate these matters and your company gives us incomplete investigation information. Under our homeowner bill of rights we have the right to ask for this information and you keep giving us incomplete information we demand to get complete information. I understand that under Section 6 of RESPA you are required to acknowledge my request within 20 business days and must try to resolve the issue within 60 business days. Please treat this letter as a " qualified written request '' under the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act, 12 U.S.C. Section 2605 ( e ). I am writing to you to complain about the accounting and servicing of my mortgage and my need for understanding and clarification of various charges, credits, debits, transactions, reversals, actions, payments, analyses and records related to the servicing of my loan from its origination to the present date. To date, the documents and information I have, that you have sent me, and the conversations with your service representatives can not answer my many questions. It is my understanding that your company has been accused as engaging in one or more predatory lending and servicing schemes. As a citizen, I am extremely concerned about such practices by anyone, let alone my own mortgage company or anyone who has held a beneficial interest in my QUALIFIED WRITTEN REQUEST COMPLAINT DISPUTE OF DEBT/ VALIDATION OF DEBT TILA REQUEST Page 2 of 8 loan. I am concerned that such abuses are targeting the uneducated and uninformed consumer and disadvantaged, poor, elderly and minorities. Needless to say, I am more concerned as an alleged borrower. I am worried that potential fraudulent and deceptive practices by unscrupulous mortgage brokers ; sales and transfers of mortgage servicing rights ; deceptive and fraudulent servicing practices to enhance balance sheets ; deceptive, abusive and fraudulent accounting tricks and practices may have negatively affected my credit rating, mortgage account and/or the debt or payments to which I am legally obligated. Because of this and other reasons that leave me to believe that I may be a victim of predatory lending, I am disputing the validity of the current debt you claim I owe. By debt I am referring to : 1. The principal balance claimed owed ; 2. My calculated monthly payment, 3. Calculated escrow payment 4. And any fees claimed to be owed by you or any trust or entity you may represent. I have reason to believe that the loan terms were misrepresented to me at the time of application and further obscured and/or modified prior to signing. I believe that my income may have been inflated on the application. I also have reason to believe that certain statements were not provided for my approval prior to closing, and that signatures may have been forged on various documents. It is also my belief that certain documents may have not been presented at all. Additionally, I believe that a notary was not physically present to witness my signatures on several pertinent documents and that I was ill advised at the time of closing. To independently validate my debt, I need to conduct a complete exam, audit, review and accounting of my mortgage loan from its inception through the present date. Upon receipt of this letter, please refrain from reporting ANY negative credit information [ if any ] to any credit-reporting agency until you respond to each of my requests. QUALIFIED WRITTEN REQUEST COMPLAINT DISPUTE OF DEBT/ VALIDATION OF DEBT TILA REQUEST Page 3 of 8 I also request that you kindly conduct your own investigation and audit of my account since its inception to validate the debt you currently claim I owe. I would like you to validate this debt so that it is accurate to th e penny! Please do not rely on previous or current servicers or originators records, assurances or indemnity agreements and refuse to conduct a full audit and investigation of my account. I understand that potential abuses by you or a previous servicer could have deceptively, wrongfully, unlawfully and/or illegally : 1. Increased the amounts of my monthly payments 2. Increased the principal balance I owe ; 3. Increased my escrow payments ; 4. Increased the amounts applied and attributed toward interest on my account ; 5. Decreased the proper amounts applied and attributed toward principal on my account ; and/or 6. Assessed, charged and/or collected fees, expenses and misc. charges I am not legally obligated to pay under my mortgage, note and/or deed of trust. 7. I am thinking about contracting the Home Owners Foreclosure Hotline and/or one of their affiliates to perform a forensic document review of your investigation and audit of my account. To help me decide if I am going to move forward with a third party auditing company, I need : ( 1 ) copies of all documents pertaining to the origination of the alleged mortgage and note including my loan application ( s ), Right to cancel, deed of trust, note, adjustable rate note, addendum to the note for the interest only payment period, truth in lending statements, good faith estimate ( GFE ), HUD 1, appraisal, and all required disclosures and rate sheets QUALIFIED WRITTEN REQUEST COMPLAINT DISPUTE OF DEBT/ VALIDATION OF DEBT TILA REQUEST Page 4 of 8 associated with this transaction for the above referenced loan.

( 2 ) A copy of the loan history including all payments made, all fees incurred, what has been paid out of the escrow account, and how all payments were applied. This information should cover the ENTIRE life of the loan. I want to insure that I have not been the victim of such predatory practices.

Consumer Complaint: COMPANY : SPS or Select Portfolio Servicing , Inc . STATUS : 2d Mortgage In XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX XXXX was XXXX XXXX military, serving in the XXXX XXXX XXXX, stationed at XXXX XXXX, VA. This loan was sought as a refinance to gain cash for debt relief ( e.g. pay off bills ). We are victims of SPS in the facts that we sought a lower interest rate and invoked protections under the SCRA and the MLA both intended to protect XXXX XXXX military from subprime lenders which disproportionately affected XXXX XXXX such as ourselves. We have tried throughout years up till XXXX of XXXX ( XXXX XXXX military retirement date ) to request SPS lower the IR but were ignored. We sent certified letters invoking the SCRA and MLA but SPS ignored our inquiries. To date, we are just pouring money down the drain so to speak as the interest is so high and unreasonable SPS contract loaned us $ XXXX in XX/XX/XXXX and has calculated a $ XXXX payout at the end of this loan. This is unreasonable and should be illegal! Now, we seek help from CFPB as we don't know how to relieve ourselves of this subprime mortgage as our efforts to get a reasonable rate has been ignored to date. We have researched the web and found that we should send a " Notice of Error '' for the following because we don't understand our loan terms and it seems with every statement we have extensive fees added to the and swelling principal. No matter when we paid on time or like now, we have not paid since XX/XX/XXXX due to financial problems the principal always increases and never decreases. We contend that SPS is : -applied subprime interest rates exponentially high that loan payoff is impossible -refusing to accept conforming payments -improperly applying or crediting payments -imposing unreasonable fees or charges -failing to provide accurate information regarding workout options and foreclosures -dual tracking the customer ( where the servicer pursues a foreclosure while simultaneously evaluating you for a modification or other workout option ), and improperly starting a foreclosure or conducting a foreclosure sale.

I was approved for a deferral of the payments I missed due to hurricane Michael which was a FEMA declared disaster.

I am also a 100 % XXXX us XXXX veteran and feel they are violating my rights under the Fair Housing Act by not recognizing my XXXX income for the review.

Consumer Complaint: Dear Madam or Sir : I understand that under Section 6 of RESPA you are required to acknowledge my request within 20 business days and must try to resolve the issue within 60 business days. Please treat this letter as a " qualified written request '' under the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act, 12 U.S.C. Section 2605 ( e ). I am writing to you to complain about the accounting and servicing of my mortgage and my need for understanding and clarification of various charges, credits, debits, transactions, reversals, actions, payments, analyses and records related to the servicing of my loan from its origination to the present date. To date, the documents and information I have, that you have sent me, and the conversations with your service representatives can not answer my many questions. It is my understanding that your company has been accused as engaging in one or more predatory lending and servicing schemes. As a citizen, I am extremely concerned about such practices by anyone, let alone my own mortgage company or anyone who has held a beneficial interest in my QUALIFIED WRITTEN REQUEST COMPLAINT DISPUTE OF DEBT/ VALIDATION OF DEBT TILA REQUEST Page 2 of 8 loan. I am concerned that such abuses are targeting the uneducated and uninformed consumer and disadvantaged, poor, elderly and minorities. Needless to say, I am more concerned as an alleged borrower. I am worried that potential fraudulent and deceptive practices by unscrupulous mortgage brokers ; sales and transfers of mortgage servicing rights ; deceptive and fraudulent servicing practices to enhance balance sheets ; deceptive, abusive and fraudulent accounting tricks and practices may have negatively affected my credit rating, mortgage account and/or the debt or payments to which I am legally obligated. Because of this and other reasons that leave me to believe that I may be a victim of predatory lending, I am disputing the validity of the current debt you claim I owe. By debt I am referring to : 1. The principal balance claimed owed ; 2. My calculated monthly payment, 3. Calculated escrow payment 4. And any fees claimed to be owed by you or any trust or entity you may represent. I have reason to believe that the loan terms were misrepresented to me at the time of application and further obscured and/or modified prior to signing. I believe that my income may have been inflated on the application. I also have reason to believe that certain statements were not provided for my approval prior to closing, and that signatures may have been forged on various documents. It is also my belief that certain documents may have not been presented at all. Additionally, I believe that a notary was not physically present to witness my signatures on several pertinent documents and that I was ill advised at the time of closing. To independently validate my debt, I need to conduct a complete exam, audit, review and accounting of my mortgage loan from its inception through the present date. Upon receipt of this letter, please refrain from reporting ANY negative credit information [ if any ] to any credit-reporting agency until you respond to each of my requests. QUALIFIED WRITTEN REQUEST COMPLAINT DISPUTE OF DEBT/ VALIDATION OF DEBT TILA REQUEST Page 3 of 8 I also request that you kindly conduct your own investigation and audit of my account since its inception to validate the debt you currently claim I owe. I would like you to validate this debt so that it is accurate to the penny! Please do not rely on previous or current servicers or originators records, assurances or indemnity agreements and refuse to conduct a full audit and investigation of my account. I understand that potential abuses by you or a previous servicer could have deceptively, wrongfully, unlawfully and/or illegally : 1. Increased the amounts of my monthly payments 2. Increased the principal balance I owe ; 3. Increased my escrow payments ; 4. Increased the amounts applied and attributed toward interest on my account ; 5. Decreased the proper amounts applied and attributed toward principal on my account ; and/or 6. Assessed, charged and/or collected fees, expenses and misc. charges I am not legally obligated to pay under my mortgage, note and/or deed of trust. 7. I am thinking about contracting the Home Owners Foreclosure Hotline and/or one of their affiliates to perform a forensic document review of your investigation and audit of my account. To help me decide if I am going to move forward with a third party auditing company, I need : ( 1 ) copies of all documents pertaining to the origination of the alleged mortgage and note including my loan application ( s ), Right to cancel, deed of trust, note, adjustable rate note, addendum to the note for the interest only payment period, truth in lending statements, good faith estimate ( GFE ), HUD 1, appraisal, and all required disclosures and rate sheets QUALIFIED WRITTEN REQUEST COMPLAINT DISPUTE OF DEBT/ VALIDATION OF DEBT TILA REQUEST Page 4 of 8 associated with this transaction for the above referenced loan. The copies should be legible and all documents shall be copied in their entirety. ( 2 ) A copy of the loan history including all payments made, all fees incurred, what has been paid out of the escrow account, and how all payments were applied. This information should cover the ENTIRE life of the loan. I want to insure that I have not been the victim of such predatory practices. To insure this, I will be authorizing a thorough review, examination, accounting and audit of my mortgage LOAN # XXXX by a team of mortgage auditors predatory lending experts, consumer advocates, local non-profit agencies, compliance consultants and if needed LEGAL ADVOCATES. This exam and audit will review my mortgage loan file from the date of my initial contact, application and the origination of my loan to the present date written above. As such, please treat this letter as a Qualified Written Request under the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act, codified as Title 12 2605 ( e ) ( 1 ) ( B ) ( e ) and Reg. X 3500.21 ( f ) 2 of the United States Code as well as a request under Truth In Lending Act [ TILA ] 15 U.S.C. 1601, et seq. RESPA provides substantial penalties and fines for non-compliance or failure to answer my questions provided in this letter within sixty ( 60 ) days of its receipt! In order to conduct the examination and audit of my loan, I need to have full and immediate disclosure including copies of all pertinent information regarding my loan.

Was originated in lawful compliance with all federal and state laws and regulations including, but not limited to RESPA, TILA, Fair Debt Collection Act, HOEPA and other laws ; 2.

Consumer Complaint: Acc # XXXX To whom it may concern : I own the property at the address listed above, and your bank services my mortgage. Over the last several weeks there have been many stories documenting the problem that banks are foreclosing on homes without proof that they own the loan. I have learned that in many cases, banks like yours do not even know who owns the loans you service. Employees at several leading banks have admitted to rubber stamping tens of thousands of foreclosures every month, without even checking to make sure that the bank had a legal right to proceed with foreclosure. In some cases, banks allegedly falsified mortgage documents to cover up their mistakes. There have been reports of two banks trying to foreclose on the same home, banks foreclosing on homeowners who were current on their payments, and even of a bank foreclosing on a home where the homeowner had never taken out a mortgage to begin with. This is not merely a technical problemit is the difference between having a warm bed at night and being out on the street. As a homeowner and a customer of your bank, I am horrified. I had always believed that it I played by the rules, I would be protected, but now I know that banks like yours think the rules dont apply to them. To protect myself and my family, I need to know who owns my mortgage. Within thirty days, I would like to know the name, address, and phone number of the bank or investor that owns my mortgage. Furthermore, in light of the recent allegations of foreclosure fraud, I demand to see the original mortgage note proving ownership over my home loan. I would like to see copies of all endorsements and assignments of my mortgage note and where and when the assingment ( s ) _if any were recorded. I also ask that you provide me with evidence of your firm being contractually retained to service my loan. If you fail to provide the information I am legally entitled to, I will be forced to consider all options available to me to ensure that my family and my home are protected. I ask that I receive my response in writing. Thank you for your attention to this matter. Thank you XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX .ca XXXX XXXX XXXX # XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX *

Consumer Complaint: Dear CFPB, Im writing to you because my mortgage company has been playing games with me since XX/XX/2019. Almost 8 months ago I applied for a short sale with Select Portfolio Servicing and everything was going well the first 2 months of review until Select Portfolio Servicing requested a Brokers Price Opinion on my home. The report from Select Portfolio Servicing finally came in after 4 weeks of waiting and with a big surprise I found out Select Portfolio Servicing didn't use an appraisal company to confirm the value of my home. I requested for a copy of the report since the amount that Select Portfolio Servicing was requesting for was over $ 755,000.which that value shows several discrepancies considering the property value is only {$450000.00}. After reviewing the file with a manager by the name XXXX XXXX Supervisor from the consumer ombudsman dept. p. XXXX ext XXXX who advise that because the investor of this loan did not want to pay for an appraisal of review the account properly for a short sale. They had no choice to use the Brokers Price Opinion ordered. Also I found out that Select Portfolio Servicing MANIPULATED the report showing shows my property is based on multiple unit property with XXXX units. Which is completely false my property is not XXXX units, which I provided supporting documents from XXXX XXXX XXXX RECORDS AND A LICENSED APPRAISAL REPORT. Now XXXX XXXX Supervisor from the consumer ombudsman dept. p. XXXX ext XXXX refuses to take my call to address this issue of the fact that I have provided showing the proof this is a XXXX unit and the value that XXXX XXXX Supervisor from the consumer ombudsman dept. p. XXXX ext XXXX is wrong and false. Please help me since now Select Portfolio Servicing is manipulating the number of units on the value report to take advantage of me and refusing to help me avoid foreclosure even though I was already told my loan is qualified for a short sale. XXXX XXXX
