I AM ATTEMPTING TO AVOID A FORECLOSURE SALE BY COMPLETING A SHORT SALE TRANSACTION. MY SERVICER HAS COMMITTED SEVERAL BLUNDERS THAT HAVE DELAYED MY SHORT SALE TRANSACTION. XXXX INCREDIBLE ERROR INVOLVED THE FACT THAT THEY MISTAKENLY COMPLETED A FORECLOSURE SALE WHILE PROCESSING MY SHORT SALE REQUEST. MY SERVICER, SELECT PORTFOLIO SERVICING ( SPS ), ADMITTED THE ERROR AND TOOK XXXX MONTHS TO UN-WIND THEIR MISTAKE. THIS CAUSED FURTHER DELAYS IN THE ABILITY OF MY REAL ESTATE AGENT TO PROPERLY MARKET THE PROPERTY AND OBTAIN OFFERS. NOW THAT I AM JUST ABOUT READY TO CLOSE THE TRANSACTION, I HAVE BEEN INFORMED THAT THE INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE NEEDS A LITTLE MORE TIME TO PROCESS A PARTIAL LIEN RELEASE ( FOR MY HUSBAND XXXX ). THIS RELEASE IS NEEDED PRIOR TO CLOSE. IT IS ESTIMATED.THAT I MAY NEED AN EXTENSION FROM MY SERVICER TO XXXX XXXXXX/XX/2015. MY SERVICER HAS A SELF-IMPOSED XXXX XXXXXX/XX/2015 DEADLINE FOR SHORT SALE APPROVAL AND A XXXX XXXX SALE DATE. THE MAJOR ISSUE, XXXX AGAIN, IS THE PROCESSES AND PROCEDURES ESTABLISHED BY THE SERVICER. THESE PROCEDURES ARE PURPOSELY DESIGNED TO SET-UP FAILURE. A REQUEST FOR AN EXTENSION HAS BEEN SUBMITTED BUT THE PROCESSOR TAKES 10 DAYS TO PROCESS AND MANAGEMENT WILL TAKE ANOTHER 7-10 DAYS TO APPROVE. THIS SYSTEM IS BLATANTLY UNWORKABLE IN A SHORT SALE ENVIRONMENT. I HAVE ATTACHED EVIDENCE THAT XXXX IS ASSISTING ME WITH THE IRS MATTER.
