Trouble during payment process
Mortgage: Conventional home mortgage
Complaint: Twice I have attempted to make my payment online with SPServicing and twice it has failed due to an incorrect account number. When it happened the first time, I assumed I typed the account number incorrectly, but when it happened a second time I suspect an error in their system not my typing. I called customer service and spoke to XXXX XXXX at extension XXXX and explained that their must have been an error in processing the payment and could I please make the payment over the phone. He informed me that because this had happened twice in 6 months, they would only accept certified funds. He refused to take my payment over the phone and informed me that if I mailed a check it would be returned if it wasn't certified funds. Just to be clear, neither payment was returned for insufficient funds but rather an incorrect account number, and the account has never been in default. I have read my mortgage Note and do not see anywhere that requires me to send certified funds if a payment isn't processed due to an incorrect account number. The payment is not delinquent and the account is not in default. Please clarify if SPSerficing is allowed to refuse my payment and require certified funds when the account is not in default or past due. Thank you.

Struggling to pay mortgage
Mortgage: Conventional home mortgage
Complaint: I want to express my frustration in working on a Loan Modification with Select Portfolio and XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX as an investor on my Mortgage. This process started back in XXXX with a simple request of a Loan Modification due to the fact that I was facing a Hardship.At the moment of my Hardship, I advise Select Portfolio with help because my company was experiencing an extreme Hardship and I could no longer afford my payments. To make matters worst, my husband, became XXXX and was forced to retired. His income no longer became available to the house and forced us to stop making payments. After being reviewed from XXXX to XXXX, they finally agreed to approved me with a trial payments that started from XX/XX/XXXX to XX/XX/XXXX. When I was approved, I had a problem with the second payment which they could not withdraw on time but they did not tell me anything about it until XXXX. In XXXX, a representative told me if I send both XXXX and XXXX payment together, I can comply with the trial. On XX/XX/XXXX, I executed the payment. Once the payment was withdrawn from SPS, they decided to send me a denial letter that they denied me the Loan Modification based on the fact that payments were not received on time. I feel like I was scammed by SPS by them advising to send the payments and then decide to deny me once they receive those payments. Thats when the real problem began. Ever since that denial, SPS has reopen many times a Loan Modification and then Denied me because the Investor XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX advises they dont want to move forward with the Loan Modification. Then they send me a letter stating they can help save the house, we reopen a case and month later they denied the Loan Modification based on investor XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX denying the Loan Modification. They have done the same process for about 5 times. I dont understand how a company can reopen the case, send me letters that we would like to help you save your house through a Loan Modification, and then deny the process. Until last year, they approved me for a repayment plan. The approved me on a balance to be paid back Monthly of over {$5000.00} a month. If they knew that I could not afford this, specially since my previous payment was {$2400.00}, how did they expected me that this would be better. they mentioned that's what the investor approved me on, or else sell the house in a short sale. I could not afford this and the approval was denied. This year, I decided to see if I can even tried to get a repayment plan but just lowered because I want to save my house from Foreclosure, and they advise of a denial that Investor does not want to participate in any program, only a short sale.This is just not fair for me because I been fighting this case for the past 9 years and I feel like no resolution from SPS has been accomplished. I really want to save my house in a loan modification, I do not want to sell my house nor do a foreclosure against my property but I need your help

Trouble during payment process
Mortgage: Conventional home mortgage
Complaint: 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.

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.

Trouble during payment process
Mortgage: Conventional home mortgage
Complaint: 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 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.

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.

Struggling to pay mortgage
Mortgage: Conventional home mortgage
Complaint: My partner and I have lived in our home in XXXX XXXX, MD for over 22 years. Because we are both in XXXX XXXX and work on commission, our incomes always fluctuate. So many times during those years we have gotten behind, but we would send what we could until we could fully catch up. And always the mortgage servicing company accepted those payments, whatever they were ( see attached ). And that has been true of Select Portfolio Servicing, Inc. ( SPS ), our current servicer.
However, on or about XXXX XX/XX/2018, I sent SPS a check for {$4000.00}, which SPS returned on XXXX XX/XX/2018 ( see attached ). SPS rejected the payment and in its unsigned letter said it would only accept over {$17000.00}. More recently, SPS returned a payment of {$18000.00}.
As I noted above, our incomes fluctuate regularly and the markets have been slow for us the past year or more. We are doing the best we can, and SPS is just trying to force us out of our home, even though it has in the past taken payments less than the full amount owed. How can a mortgage servicer, which is supposed to work to get money to pay down a debt, reject significant payments? I feel that something has changed to propel SPS to treat me in a different manner than previously and that the company 's motivation is suspect and possibly discriminatory and thus not legal.

Trouble during payment process
Mortgage: Conventional home mortgage
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 do
cument 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. The documents requested and answers to my questions are needed by myself and my experts to insure that my loan : 1. 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.

Trouble during payment process
Mortgage: Conventional home mortgage
Complaint: Last month, our mortgage provider switched to Select Portfolio Servicing. The name of our road was changed a good ten years ago ; Select is unaware of this. We have a main house and two small structures on our property -- this is the way it had been for around 15 years, yet Select is unable to understand this. I can not explain over and over again that the name of our street was changed over a decade ago. I can not explain over and over that we have a main house with two smaller structures.
This is more than annoying -- for 18 years much of our insurance coverage had been paid via our escrow account. Because of Select, I have had to pay a substantial amount for coverage from my own pocket. This has never happened before in all the years we've lived here -- and I'm simply can't afford to suddenly pay for this coverage out of pocket.
The switch to Select has been a disaster.

Struggling to pay mortgage
Mortgage: Conventional home mortgage
Complaint: Hi my is name XXXX XXXX. I have some concerns with my servicer Select Portfolio Servicing , Inc . I have a scheduled foreclosure sale schedule soon on XX/XX/XXXX. Recently I have faxed and mailed in a loan modification Request for Mortgage Assistance form along with all the necessary documents that are essential to having a complete packet. SPS have received a complete Request for Mortgage Assistance packet and its under review.
Im still just worried that they will play some game right before the sale and foreclosure on my home. They still have not cancelled or postponed the sale even though they have a complete loan modification packet and its still in underwriting review. This is a continuous game they play and always are putting me on the edge and fear that I will lose my home. Can they just cancel the sale and work with me. Give me a good loan modification with a principal reduction or something that I could afford monthly.
As part of this bailout, on XX/XX/XXXX, the United States Government took over XXXX XXXX and pumped billions, which in XX/XX/XXXX, then Treasury Secretary XXXX XXXX said as much as {$200.00} XXXX would be pumped into XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX, each, which was separate from the {$700.00} in TARP funds given out to other lenders.
1. The guidelines issued by the United States Treasury set forth a detailed process whereby a participating servicer, either action or not acting through its subsidiary, must : a. identify loans that are subject to modification under the HAMP program, both through its own review and in response to requests for modification from individual homeowners ; b. collect financial and other personal information from the homeowners to evaluate whether the homeowner is eligible for a loan modification under HAMP ; c. institute a modified loan with a reduced payment amount as per a mandated formula, that is effective for a three-month trial period for borrowers that are eligible for a modification ; and d. provide a permanently modified loan to those homeowners who comply with the requirements during the trial period. Whether the homeowner qualifies for a modification or not, participating servicers are also required to provide written notices to every mortgage borrower that has been evaluated for a loan modification, whether or not the borrower has been found eligible.
HAMP and its associated directives also set prohibitions against certain conduct including demanding upfront payments in order to be evaluated for a loan modification, instituting or continuing foreclosures while a borrower is being evaluated for a loan modification, assigning a single point of contact, maintaining an adequate level communication with borrowers, maintaining proper caseload to ensure HAMP objections are met, and restrictions on the way a servicer may report the borrower to credit reporting agencies.
All servicers have systematically failed to comply with the terms of the HAMP directives and has regularly and repeatedly violated several of its prohibitions. Now that HAMP is over and expired due to servicers prolonging these modifications they are now proceeding with other alternatives.
Under HAMP, the federal government incentivizes participating servicers to make adjustments to existing mortgage obligations in order to make the monthly payments more affordable. Servicers receive at least {$1000.00} for each HAMP modification. However, this incentive is countered by a number of financial factors that make it more profitable for a mortgage servicer avoid modification and to continue to keep a mortgage in a state of default or distress and to push loans toward foreclosure. This is especially true in cases where the mortgage is owned by a third-party investor and is merely serviced by the servicer. However, this incentive is countered by a number of financial factors that make it more profitable for a mortgage servicer such as Select Portfolio Servicing , Inc. to avoid modification and to continue to keep a mortgage in a state of default or distress and to push loans toward foreclosure. This is especially true in cases where the mortgage is owned by a third-party investor and is merely serviced by Service companies because Service companies do not carry a significant risk of loss in the event of foreclosure.
California Business and Professions Code 17200 et seq., also known as the California Unfair Competition Law ( UCL ), prohibits acts of unfair competition, including any unlawful, unfair, or deceptive business act or practice as well as unfair, deceptive, untrue or misleading advertising. Select Portfolio Servicing, Inc. and all other previous servicers and their Investors conduct was unlawful in that : They illegally began and prosecuted the non-judicial foreclosure based on the lien to the 1st Deed of Trust, despite i was not in breach of payments on said lien ; They engaged in the uniform practice of requesting unnecessary documentation, seeking repetitive submissions of the same documents, and never rendering a decision, and in doing so, such activity provides the basis for an unfair inquiry and could deceive the public because it places burdensome requirements on me that served no purpose but to provide a basis for either engaging in Dual Tracking by selling my home and by denying loss mitigation options, such as loan modifications ; They failed to properly consider loan modification applications before trying to sell my home.
1. On information and belief, Select Portfolio Servicing , Inc. does not own a significant majority of the loans on which it functions as servicer.
2. Economic Factors that discourage Select Portfolio Servicing , Inc .
XXXX from meeting its obligations under HAMP by facilitating loan modifications include the following : a. Select Portfolio Servicing, Inc. may be required to repurchase loans from the investor in order to permanently modify the loan. This presents a substantial cost and loss of revenue that can be avoided by keeping the loan in a state of temporary modification or lingering default.
b. The monthly service fee that Select Portfolio Servicing , Inc. as the servicer, collects as to each loan it services in a pool of loans, is calculated as a fixed percentage of the unpaid principal balance of the loans in the pool. Consequently, the modifying of a loan to reduce the principal balance results in a lower monthly fee to the servicer.
c. Fees that Select Portfolio Servicing , Inc. charges borrowers that are in default constitute a significant source of revenue to it. Aside from income Select Portfolio Servicing , Inc. directly receives, late fees and process management fees are often added to the principal loan amount thereby increasing the unpaid balance in a pool of loans and increasing the amount of the servicers monthly service fee.
d. Entering into a permanent modification will often delay a servicers ability to recover advances it is required to make to investors of the unpaid principal and interest payment of a non-performing loan. The servicers right to recover expenses from an investor in a loan modification, rather than a foreclosure, is often less clear and less generous.
e. Fixed overhead costs involved in successfully performing loan modifications involve up-front costs to the servicer for additional staffing, physical infrastructure, and expenses such as property valuation, credit reports and financing costs.
4. Rather than allocating adequate resources and working diligently to reduce the number of loans in danger of default by establishing permanent modifications, Select Portfolio Servicing , Inc. has serially strung out, delayed, and otherwise hindered the modification processes that it contractually undertook to facilitate when it accepted billions of dollars from the United States. Select Portfolio Servicing, Inc. delay and obstruction tactics have taken various forms with the common result that my loan serviced by Select Portfolio Servicing , Inc., in which iam eligible for permanent loan modifications, and have met the requirements for participation in HAMP, have not received permanent loan modifications to which iam entitled.
5. By failing to comply with the California Homeowner Bill of Rights ; specifically, by engaging in the unlawful practice of Dual Tracking, Select Portfolio Servicing , Inc. has left me in a state of despa
ir and panic as I seek a loan modification from Select Portfolio Servicing Inc., only to have my home wrongfully, oppressively and illegally sold out from under my feet.
If they proceed with the sale they will be violating the California Homeowners Bill of Rights Act
