Denied refinancing at a lower interest rate by SPS ~ Select Portfolio Services. This occurred while I was in XXXX with XXXX - XXXX. I had a XXXX and per doctor 's orders was not to be on my XXXX this time. I did the best I could, keeping up with my bills while only receiving partial pay of {$XXXX} per week from XXXX/workmen 's comp. At this time I was employed by a XXXX. Approximately two weeks prior to returning to my job they made the decision not to hold my job for me any longer, and I was terminated on XXXX XXXX, 2011. I got very behind on everything during this time period and applied to SPS to refinance my home at a lower interest rate, in order to lower my monthly mortgage payments. They rejected my application, while still charging me a 10.75 % interest rate on my home mortgage loan. According to current laws this is predatory lending. They have me over a barrel, as I had gotten farther and farther behind. I kept appealing their decision and finally they gave me a proposal for repayment which XXXX my monthly mortgage payment from approximately {$850.00} per mo ( which I was unable to afford ) to over {$1500.00} per month in order to repay the monies that I owe them. All the while the interest rate has never been lowered and is still the 10.75 %. We have been fighting them with an attorney for over a year now and they recently denied our filing stating we could afford the {$1500.00} per month for a mortgage payment. That is currently 47.5 % of my gross monthly income, which puts a real financial hardship on our household when considering other monthly living expenses.
