At the time I purchased the Condo my old last name was XXXX ( I am now married thus my last name is now XXXX ) I purchased a Condo and it is being financed by Citi Mortgage. For many years I was able to maintain on time payments for the Condo as well as the HOA fees. Years afterwards I found myself in a financial hardship due to family issues, I hurt my back and had to miss work and a change of job which had a lower salary. I notified CitiMortgage for a loan modification. After many years and an excessively amount of paperwork they lowered my loan less than a XXXX This was gave me no more relief because I was no longer making the money I had presently been making. So after a year I submitted for another Loan modification, but to no avail. So after much consideration I decided to put it in for a Short Sale. I contacted a XXXX representative named XXXX XXXX and her firm along with XXXX XXXX attempted several times to show and get a buyer for the Condo. At least 3 times we had contracts in and after Citi Mortgage continued to drag there feet and prolong the process each one of the buyers backed out of the contracts. After discussing our other option with our Realtor she informed us that we should contact Citi Mortgage and attempt to get the necessary paperwork to try to do a Deed in Lieu. After many failed attempts to resolve getting rid of the Condo because we can no longer afford this property we are reaching out to you with hopes you can get in contact with them and get us the necessary relief and paperwork to start the process of the Deed in XXXX. Thank you in advance for all your assistance in this extremely urgent and important matter. Also financially we are also now taking care of our XXXX grandkids so we just can not afford the Condo and are trying to save face and just get rid of the Condo respectfully. We do not want to go through a foreclosure so after discussing our legal options we feel this would be best for both parties involved.
