UPDATE ON PERSONAL STORY WITH HOMECOMINGS Upon doing some investigation it has been discovered that Homecomings Financial purchased the home that they foreclosed on for a purchase price of 115,000.00. The same property appraised at 160,000.00 in 2003. There was a lady at the Sheriff's Sale bidding on the home but was told by the Homecomings Representative that they would out bid her and to give up. DON'T FORGET TO GO TO CONSUMER COMPLAINTS WEB SITE AND FILE COMPLAINT THERE.

In addition to writing to your state agencies and representatives also write to federal agencies. I have written to the following federal agencies as well as my state. Deborah Platt Majoras, Chairman Federal Trade Commission 600 Pennsylvania Ave. NW Washington, D.C. 20580 John M. Reich, Director Office of Thrift Supervision 1700 G. Street NW Washington, D.C. 20552 Alphonso Jackson, Secretary US Dept. of Housing and Urban Development 451 Seventh Street SW Washington, D.C. 20410 (He is a member of President Bush's Cabinet) This is a copy of the letter that I wrote: Dear, This letter is a desperate plea for immediate assistance in a matter that has affected not only my family but also thousands of families across the country. Currently, my husband and I have a mortgage serviced by Homecomings Financial. We have had numerous problems with them concerning the improper application of payments, exuberant fees, and missing payments. We have written letters requesting an itemized accounting of our loan to include all transactions. To date, Homecomings has denied receipt of any such letters. The last letter sent, dated September 15, 2005, was certified return receipt requested. We are aware that others have had similar difficulties with Homecomings. In January of 2005, Homecomings settled a lawsuit initiated by the Attorney General of West Virginia. These complaints detailed the charging of illegal fees which caused some homeowners to lose their houses in foreclosure. On October 10, 2004, Gregg Hammond of Orleans, Michigan received a judgment, file number 03-M-22667-CH, in the Circuit Court of Ionia County which ordered the immediate cessation of foreclosure proceedings, and the correction of credit reports, along with an order for Homecomings to supply Mr. Hammond with a full accounting of his loan. In addition to these court cases, Kurt Eggert from the Chapman University School of Law wrote the article, Limiting Abuse and Opportunism by Mortgage Servicers, which was published in 2004 by Fannie Mae Foundation in the House Policy Debate, Volume 15, Issue 3. In this report, Eggert cites instances where servicers misapplied payments, charged excessive, false, or unwarranted fees, and submitted inaccurate payoff amounts. We are in a similar situation. To date, Homecomings has charged us with $12,000 in corporate advances which we have yet to receive an explanation as to the nature of those advances. In addition, there are a multitude of fees added to the loan of which there is no explanation. Also, there are many payments that are missing. We have been unable to get any explanation or resolution to these issues. Recently, Homecomings started foreclosure proceedings against us. We have filed a Chapter 13 to stop the foreclosure but since Homecomings has been successful in getting Relief of Stays in the past, we fear that this is only a temporary solution. We are requesting your assistance in dealing with Homecomings Financial with the following: 1. Obtaining a full and complete accounting of our loan so we can address the issues of missing payments and charged fees. 2. Elimination of those fees that are unwarranted or are in direct violation of Washington State and Federal statutes. 3. Obtaining an agreement with Homecomings for a payment plan to bring current the loan after the aforementioned items are addressed or an agreement that a Relief of Stay will not be pursued allowing us to continue with our Chapter 13 plan until the loan is once again current. We understand that you are very concerned about the welfare of the American citizen and will do all that you can to help. As this is an ongoing issue with Homecomings Financial, we hope that an investigation into the accounting practices of this company will be initiated to prevent any other homeowner from experiencing this nightmare. Respectfully, I hope this helps. If we all write, we will be heard!!!
