We applied for a modification and were told by phone we were removed from review due to " affordability. '' But no additional information was provided verbally or in writing. This occurred XXXX 2015 Wells Fargo Home Mortgage Services. We then went to a housing counselor who submitted a second request for review in early XXXX. We then received a letter stating no changes were indicated sufficient to warrant a review and that no review would occur. Our counselor called the servicer and was told we should have received at XXXX page document detailing the reasons for decline. We did not, but requested it be resent. At that time, XXXX XXXX, 2015 we were told to contact the " Re-entry '' department and be screened for possible reopening or our request. During that conversation we were told that the payment was less than 31 % of our gross monthly income, but that our fixed social security income does not match that shown by the bank. They tried to explain that the income is grossed up because we have no tax liability. This is unfair and since we never see any additional money as a result of this, losing our home over imaginary money should not be possible. We were denied a modification, not given a reason, and when pressed the reasons were not accurate. Our monthly income is XXXX, our house payment is XXXX and this does exceed the 31 % ratio the program is based on. We should be reviewed again and the actual income received utilized to make this determination. Thank you.
