		<description>Here is another predatory servicing practice.  E*Trade Bank writes a loan for a line of credit secured as a second mortgage.  The minimum payment is interest only and deducted by electronic funds transfer or ACH (automated clearinghouse).  The terms of the  note indicate that the homeowner may pay more than the minimum  payment with the amount to be applied against principal.  However, whenever E*Trade receives an extra payment, they reduce the amount of the automatic payment. Thus, the homeowner is in a virtual payment hell, perpetually paying interest with no way to pay against the principal until the home is refinanced or sold.</description>

		<description>I&#039;ve noticed the analogy between drug addicts and debt addicts. It&#039;s true, a borrower does not own the home outright. You&#039;d also have to agree that most borrowers are taxpayers and as taxpayers now own stock in companies like Wells Fargo, AKA America&#039;s Servicing Company. In my humble opinion, just because someone buys a home doesn&#039;t make them a debt addict, that&#039;s like saying someone who drinks an occaisonal beer is an alchoholic. Sure, some folks who drink are alchoholic, but most are not. I was one in the beginning of the great government bail out who told it on the mountain, &quot;This Bail-Out or TARP is going to enable banks to foreclose on everything under the sun&quot;. See, a bank or investor usually buys mortgage insurance to protect themselves from fraud or other circumstances where they may lose money on a mortgage investment. And who do you think is the largest mortgage insurer in the nation, if you said AIG, you&#039;d be right. Now the middle class can&#039;t get a loan, losing jobs and homes, can&#039;t get the same protection that the banks are getting with taxpayer money. As long as the taxpayers are bailing out the investors, why would they change their habits?</description>

		<description>I was told by an FHA counselor, to contact the FTC about my Mortgage Servicer &quot;America&#039;s Servicing Company&quot; or &quot;ASC&quot;. The FTC personnel told me to file a COMPLAINT, because everything I told them about my servicer sounded like fraud. He said if the FTC gets enough complaints about a company, they will investigate it. So everyone... start filing complaints to the FTC!!! You can get their phone number on the website or by calling (800) 555-1212.</description>

		<description>Over the past six months, my account has been systematically
forced into delinquency by the predatory servicing practices of
Homecomings Financial. These events are well documented and
plainly indicate a deliberate effort by Homecomings to expedite
the foreclosure of my home. Predatory Lending. CASE IN POINT:

My online account is routinely unavailable- usually on or around
my payment date- which prevents me from using their electronic
system. Billing information is inaccurate or out of date and any
attempt I make to bring my account current is counteracted by
such tactics as delaying or reversing payments, applying them
retroactively to cover those they&#039;ve delayed or reversed and
refusing payments that would cure the default.

Also well documented are my repeated attempts to get assistance
through their fictitious Loss Mitigation process- a calculated series
of roadblocks erected to create a paper trail for the company while
keeping me from recourse by making it appear as if I&#039;m unresponsive
to their contrived outreach efforts. Predatory Lending. CASE IN POINT:

They continually send letters requesting that I call to discuss my
options, schedule meetings or fax information but when I do, I&#039;m
referred to someone who&#039;s on vacation, my call is dropped during
transfer, appointments are no longer available or my fax is never
received.

Their methods are transparent and though I find it unbelievable
that a company would victimize it&#039;s customers so ruthlessly, the
facts speak for themselves. There are hundreds of complaints on
the internet and in the courts from similarly situated individuals
who&#039;s experiences establish a pattern of abuse by Homecomings
that insures the company&#039;s profits at the expense of the borrower.

I have filed complaints with the FTC, the Attorney General, the BBB
and various other regulatory agencies and I urge anyone who has,
or suspects they have been victimized by this company to follow suit.
I don&#039;t know if we can save our homes but perhaps we can prevent
further harm by demanding that Homecomings take responsibility for
their devastating actions and address the situation appropriately.</description>
