We had a pick a pay mortgage with XXXX XXXX that was sold to Weikovia ( both who are out of business due to these illegal loans ) who sold to Wells Fargo. The rate went up and up and forced us into a bad financial position just trying to pay them monthly to the point we could n't. My husband was ill and no forbearance was given- we went to modify and they kept saying it looked good- to the point they denied us XXXX times - we increased business, added daughters income, rental income sent XXXX pages each time to get them all the documents- always denied. Even though these were illegal mortgages and they received government monies to work with folks like us. They did a modification that really gave us no financial relief in 2009 so this is how they have a loophole to not reduce principal or change the mortgage to a realistic amount and fixed rate. The lawyers made huge money and Wells Fargo bottom line is fine but we Americans are being put out of our homes due to this illegal scam. We even went Chapter XXXX to regroup but had to dismiss it as the payment kept going up and up. We need real financial relief. Have our home up for short sale and when that or foreclosure happens they are better off and we have nothing. We have paid for this home for 33 years. THIS IS SHAMEFUL and the judgements against them are not being used to correctly help many homeowners.
