We are self employed and were going through hard times in XXXX when the economy crashed and found it difficult to keep up with our mortgage. We turned to Wells Fargo for help because our interest rate was very high at 6 %. They gave us a temporary reduction in our interest rate and payment that was only good for XXXX months in XXXX XXXX. Once the XXXX months were up our rate went back to 6 % and we could no longer afford to make the payments. We tried working with Wells Fargo but they would not help us so we hired the XXXX XXXX XXXX in XXXX XXXX to work with Wells Fargo. Wells Fargo has refused to help us because the investor will not allow a permanent modification. We have done our part by making the XXXX monthly payments which we could afford. We do not want to lose our home where we raised our children. We are requesting that Wells Fargo permanently modify our loan so we can continue to make payments and stay in our home.
