Consumer Narrative
XXXX XXXX was the executrix and sole heir of XXXX XXXX estate. XXXX XXXX passed away on XX/XX/XXXX. She had no children and did not leave a will. As her common law husband of 49 years, I am her sole surviving heir and a successor in interest. My completed loss mitigation application, submitted on XX/XX/XXXX, included a copy of the deed conveying the property from my wife to me. The attorney for the servicer requested additional documents ( death certificate for my wife and hardship letter ), which I submitted on XX/XX/XXXX. The complete loss mitigation application constituted a written request to be confirmed as a successor in interest. On XX/XX/XXXX, I contacted Citizens regarding the status of my loss mitigation application. The representative I spoke with said there was no application pending, even though Citizens counsel confirmed there was. By refusing to communicate with me about the status of my request to be confirmed as a successor in interest, Citizens failed to comply with federal law. On XX/XX/XXXX, Citizens requested documentation proving that either XXXX XXXX or I am a relative of XXXX XXXX. This request is unreasonable and unnecessary. XXXX XXXX was the executrix and sole heir of XXXX XXXX estate, and Citizens had previously recognized her as the successor in interest its XXXX complaint against her. The Complaint filed in XXXX included a deed granting title from XXXX XXXX XXXX to my wife, XXXX XXXX, and it included the letters testamentary granted to my wife over XXXX XXXX XXXX. Furthermore, on XX/XX/XXXX, I sent a Notice of Error outlining the above allegations. Citizens has still not responded to my Notice of Error, even though federal law requires a response within five business days. Citizens should immediately confirm me as a successor in interest to XXXX XXXX and communicate with me regarding my complete loss mitigation application.
