Home Loan Agreement- is this legal?

June 2nd, 2010

This is regarding my father in law’s home. He doesn’t speak English well, and he tells me that since the very day he bought the home, he was under the impression that it was a 15 year loan.

I had the bank send me the original contract.. here are the basics:

-In return for a loan that I have received, I promise to pay US $ 83,250.00
-Interest will be 7.875%
-My monthly payment will be in the amount of $603.62
-I will make my first payment on Dec. 1, 2003.
-Maturity date is Nov. 1, 2033

Okay, so if first payment is on Dec. 1, 2003, and maturity date is Nov. 1, 2033- that means this is a 30 year loan.

But $603.62 for thirty years plus a 7.825% interest = well over $200,000!

Is it legal to charge more interest than the price of the property itself?!

I am having my father look for his original copy of the contract– but I’m wondering if someone pulled a fast one on him.
I guess I sound ridiculous asking this, since everyone that is answering says it is completely normal. I have never purchased a home and did not realize that the bank can charge $120,000+ worth of interest on a $83,000 loan. That’s crazy!

Well now I know! I hope I never sign a contract under terms like that.

Has anyone else had this experience with Wells Fargo?

May 25th, 2010

I have a car loan with WF and owe 3063 and some change. When I got the loan I was making double what I do now and making my payments were easy. Over the last two years, I fell on hard times (haven’t we all) and called the company to ask for help and to see what my options are/were. I was told I could put in an offer to settle below what I owed if I could prove I wasn’t making what I was when I originally purchased the car. I gave them an offer and they accepted. I was told that I would have the paperwork faxed to me and that I was the proud owner of my car!!!

The next day (original call was a Tuesday), I got a call from a different person saying I still owed 900 bucks and that my car was in repo. When I told them I had spoken with (Moron’s Name witheld) *** and that we were settling the account, I was sent to a manager and told that Moron, didn’t have that authority and that basically for 2 days I was lied to. When I lost my cool and reiterated my entire 2 day ordeal, I was told in no certain terms too bad, so sad. Has anyone else had horrible experiences with this company? I cannot imagine that I am the only one that has had problems. For two weeks they called me 12-15 times a day, and actually called my job and demanded that I speak with them, because I had stopped answering my home phone. When I told them I could get fired for getting personal calls they told me “well, we’d stop bugging you if you would pay us.” I understand they are in business to make money but to be degraded and belittled is very upsetting and to be sent to repo for no good reason, seems a bit extreme.
I was screening them, I have 10 different numbers saved in my phonebook for them. Because I didn’t pick up my phone anymore, they called my work, they are crazy.

BOA. Major problems loan modification! Has this happened to anyone else?

May 23rd, 2010

Bank of America (BOA) is telling us one thing and doing another. It is driving me NUTS. Please read the following few sentences:

“Except in . . . GA, HI, MO, and VA (I live in FL) . . .the Servicer (or BOA) will suspend any scheduled foreclosure sale, provided I continue to meet the obligations under this plan, but any pending foreclosure action will not be dismissed and may be immediately resumed from the point at which it was suspended if this plan terminates, and no new notice of default . . . will be necessary to continue the foreclosure action . . . ”

We are currently in the foreclosure process. BOA offered a loan modification trial period. The above paragraph is from the loan modification document. We had to return requested documents by a certain date. Done. We have to make 3 payments on time. They rec’d the payment before the paperwork. First payment done.

A week after paying/signing, I start getting additional copies of court filings from the legal group representing BOA. One is asking for summary judgment. I call the group and explain the papers that were signed and ask them to call BOA. I call BOA the same day and tell them that the foreclosure hasn’t been suspended. They said they would call the law group. Four days later I receive another legal filing. I call BOA again. They said they didn’t know why the foreclosure was still going on because they had told the law group 25 days before, to suspend the proceeding because of the modification. I call the law group again. They said that the agreement that was signed between my husband, I and BOA would not stop the foreclosure proceedings. They said BOA (who is the loan servicer) had no authority to suspend foreclosure. Only Freddie Mac did. So I called Freddie Mac. They say they have no problems proceeding with the foreclosure, as long as the house wasn’t sold.

I have a major problem with this. First of all the Freddie Mac insignia is on the contract. If Freddie Mac’s copyrighted picture is being used without their permission then BOA needs to be sued for copyright infringement.

The above paragraph says that if I don’t fulfill the contract the foreclosure would be “resumed”. I don’t know what dictionary Freddie Mac/the law group is using, but how can something be “resumed” if it was never stopped int the first place??? The paragraph doesn’t say that the proceeding would continue up to the sale of the house. It didn’t specify that the scheduling of the foreclosure sale was the point that the foreclosure would be paused or resumed from. It was ambiguous on where the point is, leaving me to believe that since it isn’t specified, it should be suspended now. It does say that the foreclosure wouldn’t be dismissed. I do understand the difference between a dismissal and a suspension.

At the beginning of the first paragraph it also states that the authority to suspend the foreclosure rests with the “Servicer.” It didn’t say Freddie Mac.

What is the truth?? Is this fraud???

This is a replay of what happened before. I was told that I had a forbearance. I rec’d an acceleration of the note DURING the forbearance. BOA said that during the forbearance they wouldn’t pursue any collection action. They told me it was just a formality. Well if an acceleration of the note isn’t part of the collection process, then I don’t know what is.
