I lost my job on XXXX XXXX but I still paid my mortgage every month. On XXXX XXXX, I called my loan servicer Wells Fargo to ask forbearance plan, which stated on its website. First I was told they do n't have this plan, but only modification, and I was not eligible because my loan was current. After I reiterated I did n't want modification but temporary assistance, they assigned me a home preservation specialist. I told him put notes that I do not want modification. He ensured he did, and told me the assistance plan for 6 months which pays {$25.00} each month, and a lump sum total repayment needs to make after 6 months. He also stated I need to submit property tax and home insurance info to get approval. I was hesitated and never submitted these. I got a letter one week later that I got approved even though I never submitted requested info. At the beginning of XXXX, I decided to make full payment for my mortgage, I was told online I had to call home preservation to make a payment. I did, and the specialist assisted. One week later, I received a letter that escrow account was established and payment for property tax was made. The letter dated XXXX XXXX, but I paid my property tax on XXXX XXXX. The letter indicated Wells Fargo reviewed my property tax upon the assistance program. The specialist never notified me this, and I had up to XXXX XXXX to make tax payment. So now, I was forced to create an escrow account, my property tax was double paid, my current loan is no long current because the escrow amount was taken from my principal. I called the specialist, his manager stated that the purpose of escrow account was to protect investors ' interest. If I ask for assistance, even just for a few months, they have to establish escrow account. My questions are if I could only afford {$25.00} a month payment, how would I be able to afford escrow? I asked for temporary assistance for my last resort help in case I can not make payments, but now my credit got ruined, my loan was messed up, my property tax was double paid, and I no longer can have temporary assistance. How awful!! I would rather use up my savings but not want this kind of disaster, hassles, and insults. Wells Fargo does n't care about consumers like me but only its investors.
