My husband and I both lost our jobs in 2008. We immediately called our mortgage company - XXXX XXXX XXXX. We were told that we would not be eligible for any assistance with the issue until we were 90 days delinquent on our mortgage. We used all of our savings to keep the payments current as long as we could. Once we became 90 days delinquent we called them again to seek assistance. We were then told that we DID'NT MAKE ENOUGH money to for a mortgage help. After missing a few more payments - we XXXX found new jobs! So with our first pay checks we sent in a full payment- It was accepted. At that same time we asked XXXX for some kind of help or modification to help us get caught up. We were then told that we made TOO MUCH money to receive any mortgage assistance. In desperate effort to get caught up we sent in a second full payment 2 weeks later ( we decided to not buy food or other essentials to scrape it together XXXX. The actual check was returned to us uncashed stapled top a letter saying that we were too far behind now and were in foreclosure. After many months and with the help of XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX XXXX - on the day before or home was to be auctioned we received a mortgage modification packet fro XXXX. Desperate to keep our home - we signed it. Basically, all it did was tack the back payments and fees onto our loan. So we began making payments. We lost our jobs for the second time a few months later. With no more savings from our first job loss I assumed our home was surely lost. We are still here but after many, many submissions of requests for mortgage modifications - we are now in foreclosure again. I do n't why it has taken so long. Also, during the past few years I looked into a short sale and learned that due to the previous mortgage modification and decline in home values the appraised value of our home is about {$80000.00} under what we owe on our mortgage. So, I have also requested a mortgage modification that includes principal reduction to no avail. My goal is to get a mortgage modification that includes principal reduction to a fair market value on my home. WE are now able to make payments and would like some help with the matter. I would alos like an investigation into my many attempts at requesting mortgage assistance because I suspect that at some point in all of this we must have been eligible for assistance but our paper work was either purged or not even actually considered. If this is true then we would not be in this situation in the first place.
