I refinanced my original mortgage once XXXX to get a lower interest rate, in that process XXXX loan separated a portion of the primary mortgage into a second mortgage, so instead of a 1st mortgage of {$110000.00}, I had a 1st mortgage of {$96000.00} and a second for {$18000.00}, the increase in amounts went towards paying the " closing '' fees of the refinance. 

When the housing crisis occurred, I was informed by my mortgage lender to cease making payments in order to qualify for home modification loan, since our house lost so much of its value. Unfortunately, that did n't happen ( was refused modification ) and I was left out to dry by HAMP, and ended up losing my home which was eventually foreclosed on in XXXX 2013 for {$88000.00} less than the entire mortgage of {$110000.00}. Since XXXX XXXX did n't inform me that I would lose the non-recourse status once they separated the XXXX loans, I learned during the foreclosure that I owed {$18000.00} on the second mortgage for a house I no longer own, and that just sold for {$24000.00}. 

I had to move out, find a new place to live, which was across the country, and had to struggle to regain lost wealth, etc ... Well my secondary mortgage from XXXX for {$18000.00} ended up being purchased by XXXX XXXX XXXX during the bailouts, and eventually ended up with the debt collection company Green Tree/XXXX 

I have offered to pay 10 % to settle, seeing everyone took a haircut due to the Housing Crash that I had zero to do with, and was instructed by my primary mortgage lender to stop making payments to qualify for HAMP, which landed me in eventual foreclosure. XXXX refuses to accept anything less than 50 % over the phone, I am just trying to settle for a reasonable amount of 20 % of the total due, which is {$18000.00}, in a XXXX lump sum payment. XXXX refuses and are unreasonable to not incorporate the facts of the situation when arriving at a solution on this debt. This refusal is costing me money in a lower credit score, and at second chance at being a homeowner once more - I am just trying to move on with my life.
