Consumer Narrative

During COVID, my uncle fell ill and has since been moved to a facility to assist with his medical needs. During his XXXX XXXXXXXX, the family was not aware of the situation concerning the mortgage of the home that he was living in. The home that he resides in is Estate property that he has been managing since the death of my grandmother ( 5years ago ). We became aware of the default on the mortgage after he went to the facility when I read the foreclosure and notice of sell in the local paper. We immediately started attempting to contact the Attorney listed on the notice who said " anyone could pay the bill '', but no one could guarantee that this would stop the pending sale. We have tried to call the bank, but they continue to tell us that only the " authorized '' person on the account could speak with them. This caused confusion because the account is assigned to the " Estate of the deceased ''. The bank wouldn't tell us who the " authorized '' person on the account is and continues to stonewall phone calls to handle the matter of the mortgage. After we called the attorney, they said the sale was delayed due to the COVID moratorium and would be rescheduled for XX/XX/XXXX. We have tried every option to communicate with the bank and the attorney to settle the account, but have been denied any level of details about the mortgage. Their only interest is in selling the home that has been in our family for years instead of working with the family to prevent the sale to an outsider. We are willing to settle the balance, but no one ( the bank or attorney ) will talk to us about the balance details. PHH Mortgage and XXXX XXXX XXXX are trying to steal the home away from us during the pandemic without offering any options to help my XXXX uncle or family prevent the sell. The penalties, interest and fees continue to accumulate to benefit no one but the mortgage company and the attorney 's office. There was only a very small balance remaining, but now the attorney and bank fees have almost doubled the amount of payoff. This should be illegal and unethical. We have been attempting to get details concerning the account for the past 2+ months with no success. The bank has just been delaying speaking to us until the end of the COVID moratorium and now we have only days before they try to sell the home. If we could get more information about the payoff balance then we would be able to move forward, but at this point we don't know the status of the insurance, taxes, mortgage balance, etc. so it's difficult to work with a bank whose only goal is to sell the home and not work with the family/homeowners.
