Loan servicer agents give conflicting, unhelpful hardship guidance
A borrower on forbearance seeking a loan modification to lower payments after a change in household income and medical setbacks reports that servicing agents give inconsistent advice, sometimes worsening their situation rather than helping. Written requests for a modification have gone unanswered, and the borrower has been unable to get a supervisor to engage directly.

A disabled veteran was hospitalized and missed a mortgage payment, after which the servicer tripled monthly payments to $9,000 — citing incomplete VA paperwork that was never the customer's responsibility to complete. The sudden payment increase is unaffordable and the underlying paperwork error blocks the disability coverage meant to protect veterans. Situational but high-intensity individual complaint against a systemic gap in VA mortgage administration.
Mortgage servicers repeatedly lose loan-modification paperwork during loss mitigation
Borrowers seeking modifications submit the same documentation repeatedly while servicers claim non-receipt or losing files. The cycle stalls loss mitigation while default risk grows.
Mortgage Servicers Use Endless Documentation Loops to Delay Loss Mitigation Reviews
Distressed homeowners actively seeking mortgage assistance are caught in a cycle where servicers repeatedly request additional documents after declaring a package complete, preventing the application from ever reaching review. This pattern is structurally common across mortgage servicers and leaves financially vulnerable families without relief while foreclosure timelines continue. The delay tactic benefits servicers by exhausting borrowers before assistance is granted.
Student Loan Servicers Deny Hardship Accommodations Despite Documented Inability to Pay
Student loan servicers refuse to offer hardship accommodations, interest adjustments, or modified repayment plans even when borrowers provide detailed financial documentation showing structural inability to maintain payments. Representatives instruct defaulting borrowers to call back in 30 days with no action taken, allowing preventable defaults to damage credit permanently. The refusal to engage loss mitigation options violates the servicer's core function and harms both primary borrowers and cosigners.
Mortgage servicer proceeds with foreclosure while a loan modification is still being processed
A homeowner reports their mortgage servicer, Onity, continuing foreclosure proceedings despite an active loan modification request, in apparent violation of dual-tracking rules meant to prevent this exact scenario.
