My current situation started in XX/XX/XXXX when I was layed off from XXXX XXXX XXXX ; a job of 2 years. I approached TCF the following XX/XX/XXXX and discussed possible options for a mortgage modification. At the time my monthly payments were {$1000.00} per month and TCF agreed to a year long temporary modification of {$650.00} a month. In XX/XX/XXXX, after my monthly payments had returned to the original {$1000.00} per month that I again approached TCF on the possibilities of a permanent modification. TCF requested that I submit the required forms which I did the next month. I did not hear back from TCF all XXXX and into XX/XX/XXXX despite numerous attempts on my part during this time. It was at this time ( XX/XX/XXXX ) that I decided to cease monthly payments to TCF in the hopes of " lighting a fire under their feet '' I was contacted by TCF in XX/XX/XXXX and offered a " trial '' modification of {$950.00} per month ( with a 3 month phase in period ) which I accepted due to my desire to work with TCF. I made the XX/XX/XXXX and the XX/XX/XXXX payments but due to my employment situation at that time I was not able to make the XX/XX/XXXX payment. I resumed employment XX/XX/XXXX and contacted TCF the following month seeking to address this issue. At this time ( XXXX XX/XX/XXXX ) I was informed that TCF would resume accepting payment if I would remit 2 payments of {$1000.00} for XX/XX/XXXX and then {$1000.00} a month there after. I agreed to this because, once again I want to stress that I wanted to work with TCF. The 2 payments of {$1000.00} in XX/XX/XXXX and {$1000.00} singular monthly payments were electronically withdrawn via phone call voice authorization from my Mother 's TCF account due to the fact that my TCF account of 26 years had been shut down due to identity theft in XX/XX/XXXX. I had made payments for XX/XX/XXXX,, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, and XX/XX/XXXX. When I attempted to make my XXXX XX/XX/XXXX payment I was informed that XXXX was no longer accepting payment from me and had begun the foreclosure process. I made one last attempt at modifying my mortgage starting in XXXX XXXX. After supplying again requested paperwork my " hardship modification '' was denied in XXXX XX/XX/XXXX. The following month XXXX XXXX XXXX ) I received in the mail a solicitation from a company that had agreed to assume my mortgage and modify my monthly payment down to {$550.00}. per month. This company needed TCF 's permission to proceed with the assumption process but after providing the new company with several phone number contacts to TCF 's mortgage office and numerous attempts by myself and the new mortgage company to establish a dialog. These efforts proved utterly futile and lead me to my honest belief that TCF was " stonewalling '' any attempts to rectify my situation to save my home and that TCF had most definitely developed a hostile and aggressive attitude and posture towards me
