Stonegate Loan # XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX CA XXXX Filed We started a short sale with Stonegate On XXXX XXXX, 2016. Last evening, XXXX XXXX, the homeowner received a call from Stonegate 's debt collection department. The male on the phone was very rude. He stated Stonegate was understaffed, not going to work on a short sale, and they were going to foreclose on XXXX XXXX unless the homeowner gave him in excess of $ XXXX immediately. This homeowner is understandably distressed by this action on the part of Stonegate. 

Aside from the lack of professional exhibited by the Stonegate rep, there are also several legal issues with this event. The Fair Debt and Collection Act has been violated in several ways. Harassment of the owner of a home and using intimidation in an attempt to coerce a current client. Threatening foreclosure on a home that has not yet been referred to an attorney ( we spoke with Stonegate staff on XXXX/XXXX/16 and verified this ). Stating Stonegate is understaffed to the point of inability to fulfill their servicing obligations and they are just going to foreclose on the homeowner. 

To top it off, this is being done to a Veteran with a VA Loan. Is the XXXX XXXX aware that Stonegate lacks the staff to service their mortgages in accordance with their servicing contract? 

We have since spoken with a rep in the short sale department who was disturbed that this had happened. Their supervisor has been apprised of this situation. 

It is obvious that Stonegate is doing this not only our client but all of their clients. The CFPB was created to end this kind of fraud. When is Stonegate going to be closed down?
