First and for most I would like to thank you for including not only the first name of a WF employee. But there last name as well. While not including your name, which is making the statement. WF employee's have no control over what the government comes out with and what guidelines must be followed. I work in the department that handles calls all day long about modifications and I can tell you 1st hand. What barrowers need to know is, just because the president made an announcement saying a certain modification would be effective on this date. Then all of a sudden bam the banks and investors know the guidelines and where you have to be in order to qualify? In a perfect world this would work. But it's not. WF is a great Co. not only to work for but to bank with as well. Barrowers 1st need to have respect for the people on the other line that are telling you what needs to be done so that we can help you. I was unemployed for 13 months. Going days without eating so I could get my bills paid. I get it; I understand what you are going through. I've lost the love one and had no money. If it was me and someone was telling me that your info is out dated and you need to update those docs. Regardless if you have already sent them in several times, just do it. It's your responsibility to keep your info up to date. When you 1st started the modification process you were told it will take some time. WF has over 100,000 modifications being run at any given time. We are running the loans, updating documents, post ponning foreclosure sale dates and getting with the investors to try and help you. This takes time. I know it is frustrating. Calling a rep up and yelling and cussing will not make your modification go faster. You are just hurting the rep that could very well be in the same situation youre in. If you are on the phone w/ a rep asking about your mod and the rep gives you additional info as to other options take it. Why not get all your info together, take every option available out there. I mean there are constant changes going on constantly. As soon as we (as reps) get this info we let you know. I have been yelled, cussed, hung up on and several other not nice things. I know what it's like. If there wasn't the issue that we have right now with our economy I wouldn't be in the position I am in. I work as hard as I possibly can. I feel the frustration and I empathize with you. I'm working 6 days a week 60-70 hours a week so that I can help ease your frustration. I'm honest and tell you all the info I have or know. Some people don't want to hear what I have to say and fight me about sending info in. But if I am on the phone with you, looking through your mod info and see something that may be needed in the fucture. I will tell you and expect that you follow my instructions, so you aren't waiting 90 days for a mod. But in reality I can only help you so much. You have to want to help your self too. I can honestly say that there are serious people out there that need serious help. I take the time to guid them in the right direction. When I look at the loan a few days later, 99% of the time I see progress. Remember I may only be on the phone with you for a few min. But you are with me all the time. I want to help and take great pleasure in helping people out. I'm going to help in every way possible, but if you yell at me and not listen to what I am saying. So I can help you. I would have to release the call. How is that possible? Barrowers call in and yell while asking for our help? If you haven't made a payment in months and then we ask for a contribution towards your mortgage. Why get upset. Where are the payments that you haven't been paying on your home the last 5 months? I don't mean to be bitter, but you have to think of the whole picture. WF had a loss mit dept that consist of about 100 people. Then bam Obama makes and announcement and we are expected to have 100000 people hired and at your beckon call? Don't forget the investors. Are they expected the same thing? It's great that there are mods out there to help so many. But just like your job. There are guidelines that MUST be fallowed. I agree that there should be 1 person that you talk to thru the whole process. But that is just not feasible. We have over 100,000 modifications on the table at this time. Do you know what that is? That is allot of people that need help. We want to help and we ask for patient. When I lost my job I had no idea what we were going to do. We did what we had to. We don't have family to help us out. It's just us, my husband and I. So you know what we did? We donated plasma to put food on the table. Wore and continue to wear the same cloths. If a shoe broke you go to the store and buy some super glue in hopes that it will work. Because my job requires me to dress up and you have nothing to wear. We have the bare minimum that we need to survive. If we can do it, I know more people can. I mean instead of paying 50 for internet. Cancel it and go to the library if you have to print something. Why spend 300 a week on a cell phone. I mean serious. Find what priorities are. Here is my question to WF barrowers. Once the market goes back up and your home has been mod or refi and the value of the home has shot back up. Does that give WF a chance to get the funds back that you as a barrow was upset and mouthy about. Get those funds back? Probably not. Let's say we modified your loan to the current market value. Then in 5 years everything is back to where it was before. What happens to the banks and to the home owners? I take an average of 80-100 calls a day. I work long hours sleep very little and have to spend time away from my family. I do this not only because I have to work. But because of the 80-100 people a day that need help and guidance. If I can help the people I talk to and put their minds to rest so that they can go home and kiss their families and be thankful for what they have. Also realize that we are here to help and we are not putting people off. Well than my job is done and I am satisfied! Good Luck to everyone! Please just be patient. Thank you!

Your experience sounds so familiar that I could almost predict the end. Send your letters of complaint to your representatives in the U.S. Congress and the President and Treasury Sec. Ask for an investigation and subpoenas to find out what Wells Fargo is really doing with its bailout money. I'm betting you're right, that they're trying to wear needy people down. Let's fight back! I faxed my letters yesterday. Also, complaints made to John Stumpf, Pres. and CEO of Wells get at least a reply (if not help). Email him at [email protected]

Why are we so helpless? I've been dealing with them in a similar situation, now I'm losing the house despite I have a good job. The guys answering the phone are clueless. People who are in charge of them already made it clear they don't care by not creating a process to help people. What an evil company. I hope they choke.
