Consumer Complaint: We submitted for a loan modification and every day we asked if there was a sale date. Just last week we were told that there was a foreclosure sale date on on XX/XX/XXXX 2017. We have to work with an assigned loss mitigation representative at Shellpoint mortgage and her name is XXXX XXXX which is never in the office. We have been submitting the same document ( Annual HOA bill ) for weeks and now she says it does n't state if it annual but clearly at the bottom of the page it does. Everyone we talked to said it met the requirement and were very helpful with what they thought we should do so we did all of it. All the paper work has been sitting in the office and XXXX XXXX is fully aware of the sale date and we are going to lose our home because she is n't in the office. There is a complete loss mitigation package everything and more in the office and she is n't in to review the package. We have offered to do a repayment plan or even a forbearance plan but were told it would take too long to get the figures from the attorney, however we have been saying we would go that route for two weeks. We are willing to do what ever it takes to save our home. We have not received any documents from Shellpoint mortgage in regards to missing documents what 's require we were even told to XXXX the HMDA paperwork to find it online. No ten day letters, no incomplete package letters, absolutely nothing. We just want a chance to save our home we are employed and can afford our mortgage we just got behind because of circumstances we could not control. We have resolved everything and are more than willing to do what ever we need to do. Please we need help to save our home or someone to listen and do what it is that needs to be done.

Consumer Complaint: CFPB complaint Filed XX/XX/XXXX Case # ShellPoint XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX CA XXXX XXXX said that it will be a big problem to do a short sale for a homeowner that does not have separate business bank statements, no business name, and have not filed taxes for XXXX and XXXX, and therefore underwriting will likely require the homeowner to file taxes for XXXX & XXXX. I told ShellPoint that the homeowner is a sole proprietor - there is nothing wrong or illegal about this. Therefore a separate business 'name ' and 'bank statements ' are not necessary. The homeowner has also already provided a written and signed statement that they have not filed income taxes. I also reminded ShellPoint that in California the homeowner can not contribute to a short sale, and since the profit & loss statement is proof of income, they will have to make a decision based on what they have been given. Why is ShellPoint trying to force the homeowner to file income taxes? They are being stupid. I want ShellPoint to follow servicing guidelines. If ShellPoint wants the taxes to be filed - are they going to hand over the {$500.00} for each year of taxes so the CPA can file them? The homeowner certainly does not have that kind of money. In California, the lender can not ask for a contribution from the homeowner. It is obvious from the income information provided that the seller can not afford to keep the home. Attempting to force the homeowner to file income taxes is just another delay tactic and does nothing but reveal the stupidity of this company as a mortgage servicer.

Consumer Complaint: We hired a realtor to handle all aspects of this transaction and currently, have a contract pending to sell our home as a Short Sale. Closing date of XX/XX/XXXX. Shellpoint Mortgage Servicing sent our agent the 'Agreement to Release Collateral Interest ' stating that Shelllpoint obtained approval to release interest for the amount less than the total due on loan. The terms did not include a 'waiver of deficiency ' or statement waiving the right of the investors or Shelllpoint to collect that deficiency in the future. Because of the future liability, we contacted Shellpoint to request modification of this agreement. I was notified that by my agent that he was not able to get in touch with XXXX, the representative handling our file. I left various messages for XXXX with no callback. I spoke with several representatives ; XXXX a CSR stated ; " We would not be liable for the deficiency and that the verbiage is never written and customers always question the verbiage. She assured we were not liable and we were good to go ''. I asked this to be put In writing and I was transferred to XXXX voicemail. I also spoke with XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX. On XX/XX/XXXX I was transferred to XXXX in Loss Mitigation, who confirmed the Agreement to Release Collateral Interest to be incorrect and an error on their part. He stated a new Agreement to Release Collateral Interest would be drafted showing that the debt considered fully satisfied for less than the amount due and with no remaining deficiency balance owed. The last paragraph of the agreement, regarding any collection of the remaining balance due and owing, would also be removed. On XX/XX/XXXX I contacted Shellpoint to inquire on the status of the newly drafted agreement. I spoke with XXXX who confirmed the agreement was written and sent on XX/XX/2017. I requested that she fax it to my agents who in turn emailed the agreements to me. Surprisingly the agreements were not modified as discussed. In fact, the only thing that did change was the date. My agent contacted ShellPoint mortgage and spoke XXXX who informed him that the agreement was a legal document and could not be modified. Apparently, we are getting the run around from this company. Per the agreement, we have to close by XX/XX/XXXX. I am unable to get anything accomplished with this company. The agents I hired to handle this transaction, and I have been getting the runaround with no resolution. My wife attempted to call today XX/XX/2017. She spoke with XXXX who transferred her to Loss Mitigation, XXXX. Again he was unavailable but was working. Per XXXX, she directed my wife to contact the Manager XXXX who could be reached via the XXXX # ; my wife left a voicemail for XXXX, once again.

Consumer Complaint: I am a customer of Shellpoint Mortgage Servicing and have had issue with my escrow account since XX/XX/XXXX. Initially Shellpoint did not pay my village property taxes when they were due in XX/XX/XXXX, even though they deducted the money from my escrow account. I did not find out that this occurred until the XXXX sent me a letter stating I was in default and if they were not paid, my name was going to be printed in the newspaper. I immediately contacted Shellpoint on XX/XX/XXXX and provided a copy of the letter I received from the village. XXXX days later they paid my taxes ; HOWEVER, they deducted the money from my escrow account AGAIN and never gave me a credit for the tax bill that was never received by my village in XX/XX/XXXX. At that point they reanalyzed my escrow account and increased my payment because my escrow account was short due to their error. I am owed {$1800.00} back into my escrow account and my payment lowered to its previous amount. I have called customer service now 3 times to get this fixed and every time they tell me it 's being escalated to a supervisor, but I have seen no correction and have yet to receive a phone call. I want this fixed immediately and a phone call confirming this. Thank you.

Consumer Complaint: I am the borrower of New Penn Financial D/B/A Shellpoint Mortgage Servicing. I entered into a contract of sale, on XX/XX/XXXX, with the purchasers selling my co-op unit located in XXXX. After the Co-op Board approved the sale, my attorney started to contact Shellpoint, on XX/XX/XXXX, requesting for the pay-off arrangement. Shellpoint shall locate the collateral documents ( original Co-op Stock Certificate and Proprietary Lease ), and notify us, so that we could schedule a closing, at which Shellpoints will get the whole loan payment and I could transfer the title of the Co-op unit to the Purchaser. Normally it takes about two or three weeks for the bank to complete this step. However, despite repeated inquires made by my attorney, we did not see any efforts by or good faith in Shellpoint in processing the payoff. They simply responded they have not located the collateral documents yet again and again. They also refused to provide an Affidavit of Lost Documents after all the parties of the sale had been waiting months after months while such a simple affidavit can get the deal closed! On XX/XX/XXXX, my attorney, after numerous efforts, finally found out who represents Shellpoints and started to contact Shellpoints ' attorney for the pay-off arrangement. However, up to date, Shellpoint still could not provide either the collateral documents or the Affidavit of Lost Documents. With legal representation, Shellpoints should be fully aware of the consequence of such a serious delay. The delay of Shellpoint has not only cost me extra interest and penalty charged by Shellpoint, but also 6 months ' maintenance charge of $ XXXX/month, as well as extra legal fee and penalty charged by the Cooperative Corporation and my attorney. Besides of this, the Buyer may walk away from this deal any day. It will be beyond the imagination of any reasonable mind that CFPB allow a borrower be abused by a licensed commercial lender in this manner. It 's a nightmare!

Consumer Complaint: I am representing a foreign national buyer who submitted application and got a CD 2 days prior to closing ( attached ), to a surprising news that the loan was not submitted properly and the Loan Officer fired for questionable procedures. The mortgage company stepped in because saw that the file was already approved and placed a new loan officer to resubmit the documents ( new loan file ) to verify. After all that verification, the file was conditionally approved with 3 requirements ( 1 of them a 24 month reserve for monthly payments with a 30 % down payment commitment from the borrower ). Nowhere the borrower was told about that amount of reserves needed and not one of the papers signed stated the policy. Today a month after the borrower has been in the United States, the Mortgage Company is scaling back to ask for more documents showing clear sign of discrimination to the borrower who has always submitted everything accordingly. In the middle of the delays, the borrower has been spending money and paying taxes which compromises even more her position and now she is at risk of losing the deposit given to the builder. The borrower does n't speak english but has done everything in her power to satisfy the multiple requests of the lender who had everything from before but decided to ask again for everything not caring for her time and money spent in this country.

Consumer Complaint: XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ) XXXX - XXXX To : CFPB On XXXX/XXXX/XXXX my father XXXX due to a XXXX and my mother was the executive of his state. A few months later I was place on the loan for the mortgage and the deed was registered under my name and my mother 's name and also the house with was already XXXX dollars in late fees. I reach out to XXXX to start the loan modification because of financial hardship. A few months later XXXX sold the loan to XXXX ( XXXX ) XXXX ACCT # XXXX. XXXX sent me a packet witch, include a hardship form to fill out and send back to them. I sent all my financial information including my mom 's financial information we had to fill a XXXX form at least 3 to 5 times, I send them the copy of the deed and a copy of the lease agreement twice. Every other month I fax them my paystubs my bank statements Witch seem to lose or misplace every time. They never contacted me I 'm the one always calling everyday trying to get an update and every time I call my loan is always in review and an a few days later they say that my loan was denied because I did n't send them the paper work in a timely manner. They always request the same information throughout the loan modification process. Even if I had already sent them all the paper work they require. I reach out the XXXX on an everyday basis to find out if am missing any paper work do they need any paper work they say no and a day later they say your application is denied because you did n't send the proper paper work, than I have to start the process all over again. Threw the months I reach out to XXXX they say my account is in review and they ask to send paystubs and bank statements witch I always oblige and send the next day. The final straw came On XXXX/XXXX/XXXX I reach out to XXXX to check the status of my loan they say it 's still in review and they inform me on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX my loan will be service by Shell Point XXXX. When I reach out to Shell Point on XXXX XXXX they told me that it will take 15 days for my paper work to be transfer from XXXX. When I call Shell Point a few days later they told me that this investor does not do Loan Modifications and I would have to make the past due balance, Pay the loan completely or do a short sale and if not my house will be in foreclosure. One thing I do n't understand is that I told XXXX from XXXX ( Ext. XXXX ) that I was getting statements, he told me not to worry about it because the account is on hold. If the account was on hold why is Shell Point Financial inform me that the account is delinquent and I have to pay XXXX dollars to restore the loan. My soul purpose for going through this hard ache is to stay in my home because this home is the only thing I have to remind me of my father and he work too hard to purchase this home and for it to be lost. At this time I 'm trying to see if I can refinance my house with another company or to see if I can pay the late charges with a loan.

Consumer Complaint: After being approved for a loan mod in 2016 and making several trial payments ( which are currently being held by the mortgage co. ), my docs were not signed due to my being unable to verify outstanding loan amounts and charges with back-up documentation provided by the service provider. After finally receiving requested pay-off information and corrections to my credit reporting by the agency, I again completed a new loan modification per instruction by Shellpoint Mtg Servicing. My application was denied ( after previously being approved ) with no formal reason provided or opportunity to address any disqualifying factors. The sale date is fast approaching and as of today, I do not have a written explanation to provide to legal council or tax advisor, which is an unfair practice leaving me at a terrible disadvantage in efforts to resolve the matter and keep my home.
