Consumer Narrative
This is regarding the Reverse Mortgage that we have tried and tried to resolve. We were never notified that they were paying any property charges but they paid them ahead of time. Now, they have filed a foreclosure action in the county court and we have asked and asked how much we need to pay to cure the default and nobody can tell us! Every time we call, XXXX tells us that it is under review. They first tried to tell us that we owed {$3800.00} but I looked at the itemized statement that we have tried to get since they first told us we were in default and that was in 2018 and I argued it then. However, nobody would send me the itemized list. Now that I finally got the itemized list, I was right. The items are things like a line of credit and loan set up fee. One item is property tax that we were not notified they were paying. Then the next loan servicer just picked up where they left off and started paying property taxes early with no notices or anything. I asked for an itemized list of those with receipts. They told me to go get the receipts myself and of course their itemized list is not correct. I call them and they say it is under review. The debt collector is aware of the problem as we filed a motion to dismiss in court. They have charged attorney fees and inspection fees to our balance and nobody responds to our requests to information so we can cure the default. They have not followed the HUD guidelines in any way and we are not getting any assistance at all. How can we pay off something that they don't even know how much it is. It should have never been called due and payable. They have put us through XXXX for nothing. Nobody would listen when I tried to tell them the previous servicer was incorrect when they said we did not pay our hazard insurance. The new servicer refunded our hazard insurance a year later but still called our loan due and payable. Wouldn't they see then that it was not due and payable? Why would they not then tell us the balance we owed so we could cure the default but instead kept doing drive by inspections and charging us. I even wrote the debt collectors a letter and told them that XXXX XXXX lost her job because of covid and they did not even respond or tell us we had a moratorium or anything. They just did not answer at all. We never heard from anyone. There was no attempt for a face to face meeting or anything. They just keep trying to have a foreclosure court date and make us pay the whole amount in court without giving us the ability to cure the default because they can ; t tell us what the default amount is. I have called many many times and sent numerous e mails.
