7/22/09 - Having been laid off, and receiving Unemployment assistance, I called CitiMortgage to inquire about reducing my interest rate, or Refinancing, to reduce the payments. I was told about entering their Hardship Program and to call 1-866-6001 or 866-713-4784. I was told to go online to their website, and complete and submit the Homeowners Assistance tab. I did as I was told.
7/27/09 I was mailed and received a confirmation letter that someone would review my documents and call me.
7/31/09 I received a call from John (ID#JC12980, from Ft.Mill, South Carolina code: HAT). He said they have received everything and I was approved. I qualified for a 3.63% Interest rate for 5 years, then up 1% each following year for 5 years). My payments could be $1477.58, and the first one would be due before Sept. 30th. He also instructed me to NOT make payments online, but to Call 1-800-283-7918, and make the payments over the phone, so they get logged in as Additional Funds Received instead of as a payment. I would be receiving a packet in the mail with all the required paperwork for me to approve and sign.
8/20. I have not received the paperwork. I received an E-mail from Citibank (RE: Confidential Message for Michael Mandy #8174) informing me that I was delinquent with my payment. I replied, stating the details of my conversation with John on 7/31, and my payment of $1477.58 was to be paid prior to Sept.30th.
8/25/09 spoke on the phone to CitiMortgage. I was told not to worry - everything was OK and the paperwork should arrive within 2 weeks.

11/20/09 received Declination notice. I called 866-713-4784. Spoke to Lawrence. He stated that I was declined due to my Unemployment Assistance payments were expiring in December. Also, our Debt ratio was too high. I informed him that my wife was now working, and she was now making approximately $2000 a month. He then reconfigured my Modification loan, and told me that now we do qualify for the 3.63% interest rate, but my payments would be $1267.59. The first payment would be due before 12/30/09, and new paperwork would be arriving in the mail.
(the household is making more money, so we qualify for lower payments ?)

He said that the Additional Funds Received department does not forward payment information to the Payments department. So the Payments department does not know that I have been making payments since September. He said that their system has not been updated to do this. But not to worry everything is okay.

But now I dont qualify for the lower payments anymore, due to my wifes increased income, so they are putting it back to 7.375%, BUT my payments will be $2,093.06 and my payment will be due on 4/1/10. But it Said Current Loan Principal Balance: $237,732.96. Total Payment: $1989.01. NEW: Principal Balance: $247,965.54. Total Payment: $2093.06 !
She told me to fill out the paperwork and fax it to them. I asked why the increase? She said that it is putting back the money that I didnt pay them since I was on the Modification.
