I AM ATTEMPTING TO AVOID A FORECLOSURE SALE BY COMPLETING A SHORT SALE TRANSACTION. I HAVE FULFILLED ALL MY OBLIGATIONS IN ORDER TO ACCOMPLISH THIS. CITI MORTGAGE HAS CREATED UNNECESSARY OBSTACLES IN ORDER TO ACCOMPLISH FAILURE. A COMPLETED SHORT SALE PACKAGE WITH A QUALIFIED BUYER WAS SUBMITTED TO CITI MORTGAGE ON XXXX XXXX OF THIS YEAR. CITI DELAYED REVIEW OF THIS PACKAGE FOR A COUPLE OF WEEKS. AFTER THE INITIAL REVIEW, CITI DELAYED PLACING THE FILE IN THE UNDERWRITING DEPARTMENT FOR ANOTHER COUPLE OF WEEKS. THE FILE HAS BEEN WAITING ON UNDERWRITING APPROVAL SINCE XXXX 2015. CITI CLAIMED THAT THE TRANSACTION WAS TAKING TOO LONG - AND IT WAS, BUT CITI CAUSED ALL THE DELAYS - AND SET A SALE DATE FOR XXXX XXXX, 2015. WE HAVE A SALE DATE BECAUSE WE STILL DO NOT HAVE AN UNDERWRITING DECISION, WHICH WAS DELAYED BY CITI MORTGAGE. CITI MORTGAGE ACTION IS CLEARLY UNETHICAL IF NOT UNLAWFUL. MY HOPE IS THAT CFPB WILL ASSIST IN DEMANDING REASONABLE BEHAVIOR AND FINE CITI FOR THEIR INCOMPETENCE.
