You may be stuck in the system and you need to get aggressive and get someone who can get you answers and find out what the deal is with your loan modification. I wish you luck.

Each time the monthly payment goes up and each time they tell me to call back in a week. I was also told by 2 different account personal that I didn't need to make my last payment because it was rolled into the new loan. Just to find out the next time I call that I should have made the payment and that I am now late and I am being hit with a late payment fee. I had also tried to refinange, and after getting the home appriased, and forking out the cash to do so, they said "Sorry, our mistake we can't refiance, and BTW you don'w get your money back" I think I will give them a week and then contact the Att. General for my state.........

My husband and I re-financed our home 3 yrs ago with Wells Fargo, (before 2005), we have been in our home for 10 years. We had hoped we could re-finance our home before our loan adjusted which it did adjust on 11-3-2007. We could never re-finance because somehow our home would not appraise for what we owed. Go figure, how Wells got it to appraise for so much I will never know. We have been in Loss mitigation for 5 months now with no results. Our payment now is more than we can pay and still have living expenses (and I am talking about things like utilities and groceries). The only thing that qualifies us for this plan set forth is our credit score which has been trashed by all this. All we asked Wells to do was give us a fixed rate and add some years to mortgage which they refused to do. We could have kept house and they would still get their money. Mind you we are not stupid people who bit off more than we could chew. We really thought we could re-finance before the adjustment. We had almost perfect credit before all this drama. Maybe we should have just filed bancruptcy 3 years ago instead of re-fincing house to consolidate bills. I think we would be better off today, and that is a shame. Oh yea , our loan also re-sets every six months now. I am about to hand over the keys. I am sick of it. It is very fustrating.

Now our home is not worth what we bought it for. We want to live in our home for a very long time, we did not buy the home as a get rich quick act. We have a family and want to keep them rooted in the home they love.

The problems are at the top and bottom, the brokers who submitted the fraudulent loans, and the larger business fractions that altered guidelines and ratings so anyone could get a mortgage loan. This created a "glut" of purchasers and a "shortage" of properties artificially inflating the home prices. I just hope everyone that was not ethical gets caught and punished. The people that worked inbetween, either could be fraudulent themselves, look the other way or fight it.. I preferred the latter, had more trouble keeping jobs, but at least I can go to bed with a clear conscious. I knew the guidelines were too loose. Lets hope dignity returns to this vital industry.
