I am confused as to your complaint, how did they rip you off? If it was truely fraud what else have you done besides request a fraud packet? Have you filed a complaint with the proper authorities? Have you turned the mortgage company in that sold you the loan? Just a heads up, but they are not required to offer you a fixed rate. It is a service SOME mortgage companies are doing in light of the recent mortgage woes. Have you tried refinancing into a different loan until things change? Do you have equity in the house? If so, a refinance should be no problem if the mortgage payments have been made on time. You don't even need that much equity to do this, call around and check out your options. Trust me they don't want the house, they will lose money if they foreclose. I know everyone says these banks want the equity but the fact is they can only recover what is owed plus reasonable costs to do the foreclosure and anything above that goes to the homeowner. May I also suggest a short sale? Sell the house, rent for a couple years then buy again when the market changes. Good luck, I hope some of these are options that help you out. If it was fraud and you can prove it, I would be on the phone with an attorney and freeze the loan. You might even get a free house out of it.
