I contacted US Bank because I was going through a divorce and need help with making sure that I could make my mortgage payments. I 've owned my home for six years, and never been late on a payment. My ex husband abandoned me and my XXXX month old son. I was told that US Bank offered many programs and that I would qualify for at least XXXX of them. So I applied for the loan modification, and was denied. I was n't given any other options! I applied again and was denied again. They said my income debt to ratio was too high. Well of course it would be! I have a mortgage and other bills! I thought the whole point of the loan modification was to help with you are having trouble!? I am now in the process of the short sale process, as well as the stages of foreclosure. I call the bank and email and they can not give me any answers to my questions. It 's like I 'm talking to robots. I have worked my whole life and to have my home taken away from me due to a divorce is so very sad. I 've never asked for assistance in my life, but when I really need it I 'm denied. How embarrassing this is for me. On top of this all, my ex husband has move to another state and is n't dealing with the stress of receiving certified mail, being served by the sheriff letters of foreclosure. What is the point of loan modification and offering it to someone? It gave me a little bit of hope then a nice smack in my face. I 'm looking for help! I 've drained every single account and IRA I had to try to keep my home. It 's a shame that my XXXX year old son and I are losing our home. I guess this is now the American dream.
