Consumer Narrative
Back in XXXX, we filed bk XXXX and were XXXX in XXXX. We thought that the second mortgage was removed because ever since the bk was XXXX, we never received any statements or any correspondence from the XXXX. Until after we thought of selling our home, that was when we found out that we had XXXX liens against our property. The broker could not locate the mortgage company at that time. I had to do my research to find out what the mortgage company was. It took me a long time to know that XXXX was sold to Ally Bank. When I reached out to them, they told me that we owed $ XXXX because it accrued interest for almost XXXX years. They mentioned that we were delinquent for over XXXX months The original loan was $ XXXX. That was the only time they started sending me correspondence about our loan. We find it unfair that they never sent us anything before for that many years ( 20 years ), and now they're saying that we owed this much. We could have done something about it before had they sent us some type of statement but they never did. They mentioned that it can go to foreclosure. I had tried to reach out to Ally Bank to request a resolution and applied for a loan modification so that it wouldn't go to foreclosure. Since XX/XX/XXXX, I have been trying to communicate with them and ask for help. I sent them the application for modification and all the required docs many many times but they tend to give their customers the run-around. I have sent them all the needed docs via fax, via email, and mailed them as well. I always had to resent the application and resent the required docs. It was very frustrating to hear that they always was missing docs when every piece of document we sent over and over again. We were trying to do our part but they seem to not do theirs. We feel that they are doing the run-around so that they can foreclose my property. It has been over a year and XXXX that we have been trying to work with them but they aren't willing to help us. The balance keeps growing and It's unjust that they aren't fulfilling their responsibilities even though we are doing our best. All the calls are recorded supposedly. I have proof of emails from way back. I would like to ask for your assistance. Now that they know that the property has equity, they send us correspondence and even try to scare us that they can foreclose it. This lien has been dormant for almost 20 years. I believe it is just right that they remove this lien from the title. I can send all the proofs of communication if needed. Your prompt response would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!
