The lack of a clear, consistent modification review process leaves borrowers unable to secure an affordable payment before losing their home.

surfaced semanticallyFHA Mortgage Servicer Denies Loss Mitigation to Confirmed Heir
Truist Bank denied loss mitigation assistance to a confirmed successor-in-interest on an FHA loan, citing false probate and title requirements that contradict federal servicing guidelines. The servicer repeatedly misapplied rules that protect heirs from foreclosure. Mortgage servicer compliance with CFPB successor-in-interest regulations remains inconsistently enforced.
Mortgage Trial Repayment Plans Increase Payments Instead of Reducing Hardship
Homeowners seeking loss mitigation assistance are placed on trial repayment plans that unexpectedly increase their monthly obligation, deepening delinquency rather than resolving it. Subsequent loss-mitigation requests are then denied for exceeding trial-plan limits, leaving borrowers who followed the servicer's own process worse off than before.
Mortgage Forbearance Terms Lost When Loans Are Sold Between Servicers
A borrower granted forbearance under one mortgage servicer had the agreement dropped after the loan was sold to a new servicer, which then began collection activity and offered no working channel to reapply. This reveals a structural gap in mortgage servicing where hardship accommodations do not reliably transfer with loan ownership, and broken self-service links leave borrowers unable to re-request relief.
Loan Modification Appeals Ignored While Foreclosure Proceeds During Active Appeal Window
Mortgage servicers continue foreclosure proceedings and schedule sale dates while loan modification appeals are still within the stated appeal window. Appeals submitted via certified mail receive no substantive response, and denial reasons are vague and inconsistent with prior approvals. Homeowners facing imminent loss have no effective mechanism to pause foreclosure during a legitimate appeal process.
Mortgage servicer declares loss-mitigation file incomplete after giving flawed guidance
A borrower in loss mitigation followed instructions given directly by their mortgage servicer, only for the servicer to later declare the file incomplete and refer the loan to foreclosure, despite the borrower's good-faith compliance with the guidance provided.
