Call with CITI take 2

So this is a call back we received on the previous CITI post
CITI- This is Jorge with CITI can you verify xyz?
Me- Yes
CITI- It looks as if you may qualify for a modification have you made any attempts
Me- Yes last week, I am still waiting for a call back.
CITI- I do not see anything in the system
ME- They told me I was not approved for the MHP program
CITI- Sir there is nothing in the system if they ran you through it would be in here
Me- I just did this last week on the 26th and I am telling you they told me I did not qualify but they did not tell me why
CITI- Sir we use the program from the treasury and it tells you if you are approved or not
Me- It is your company's program I know you do not use a program designed by the treasury
CITI- this program is form the treasury
Me- I know the program, what do you wan from me to see if you can help
CITI- Lets go over you financials
ME- Okay.........endless going over financials
CITI- You are right sir you do not qualify
Me- Why
CITI- Sure you do not qualify because you currently cannot afford the payment
Me- MY point exactly you are supposed to bring down the rate to a floor of 2%, then extend the term up to 40 years, and or use a principle forbearance or reduction (down to market value) to make the payment low enough so the front end ratio is 31%
CITI- Sir you need to have a current ration at 31% for us to offer a modification
Me- You are wrong that is not the program
CITI- Sir we need to add what you are behind into the loan so we cannot reduce anything
Me- This is incorrect information what is you managers name?
CITI-xzy blah blah have a nice day

Again this is a company that has accepted money from us the American tax payer and delivered nothing in return.

All the media talks about attorneys accepting advanced fees and how bad that is yet it is supposed to be okay that we have given Banks Billions n advanced fees and are getting nothing in return.

The banking industry that behaves in this manner should be shamed out of existence.

Conversation with a rep from CITI mortgage

Called CITI at 800-422-149x and was told that John was the negotiator on the file and was transferred to his extension and of course straight to voicemail.
I kept entering extensions until I was transferred back to the main line in the loss mitigation department and below is the conversation:
CITI- Hello can I get your name and loan number etc...
Me- Yes is is xyz thank you, I am calling about the status of the loan modification for this client.
CITI- I don't see anywhere in the system that we have talked to you, Have you sent in a package?
Me- Yes about 5 of them
CITI- Have you done financials over the phone?
Me- Yes 3 times and most recently last week
CITI- I see they filed bankruptcy that is why we can not find them, has it been discharged?
Me- Yes it was discharged over a year ago and you have proof of that it was sent in with the packages
CITI- Oh I see it looks as if the file was denied for a modification
Me- Why. We received a trial mod for this client
CITI- Yes but they were not approved
Me- Why did they send the package if they were not approved?
CITI- I am not sure I do not know
Me- Did you use the HAMP program?
CITI- Yes
Me- Can you show me the results of the NPV test
CITI- We do not know what that is
Me- Can I get the names of the Directors I want to write them a letter to explain how this customer is being treated
CITI- Hold on
30 minutes later
CITI- I spoke with my manager and you need to speak with John
Me- Can I get the names of the directors of CITI?
CITI- No my manager says we do not know that information

Now to me it seems as if the banks have no clue what they are doing yet they accepted our tax payer money so that they could offer programs to the American people.

It is bad enough that we are forced to help failed business in order to be offered assistance but when we as Americans are led to believe that this is the only way to get help and the help is not given it leads one to demand a refund of the money given to the banks!

Did Attorneys “TURN BAD” in 2009? What… Is There Something in the Water? - Mandelman Matters

The following quote is from Martin Andelman from his blog.
"According to the TARP agreement, that “net present value” formula, referred to as the “NPV,” is to be “transparent and disclosed”. It never is. Never. The banks say it’s “proprietary”. And yet Treasury has done nothing to enforce the requirement, which I’m told is a “violation” of administrative law”. Why not? Why not indeed.I received the above information from a Washington D.C. lobbying group that told me that they didn’t want to raise the issue because they didn’t want to anger the U.S. Treasury Department, but that I could raise the issue if I felt it worthy of being raised.They didn’t want to anger the U.S. Treasury Department by asking them why they weren’t enforcing the law, as established by the Executive Branch of the United States Government… the President of the United States. They didn’t want to anger the U.S. Treasury Department by asking them why they weren’t enforcing the law, as established by the Executive Branch of the United States Government… the President of the United States.And that’s all I’m going to say about that"

Our liberties are in our hands and I encourage all of you to voice you opposition to the banking cartel and start in your local community by recalling elected officials the that represent banks and campaign financiers over the "PEOPLE" they are elected to represent

Let us not forget that we elected them to serve us.

Upon completing an audit of a loan for one of our clients I noticed that there were two Truth in Lending’s placed in the file and both had the same date. As I review the information I see discrepancies in the information.
I am seeing this more and more and I am led to assume that a consumer would not know the difference. Upon completing the audit of course one fails and one passes.
I feel it is not enough for the bank to throw in a disclosure and assume the consumer can read and understand it.

We need to have attorneys review all loan transactions to ensure that consumers as well as lenders are protected.

Today it seems as if the banks are all coordinating together to milk as much money from the American people as they possibly can. It is very common for a bank to sit back and let a home go to foreclosure because they have no vested interest in the home other than the servicing fees.

The servicer sells the loan to the investor, the investor gets an insurance policy on the loan so when it defaults they get paid off. It is no wonder why they let the home foreclose it is a win win for the banks.

We need to hold banks accountable and stop letting them steal the liberty form the American People!
