Yesterday and today, I finally heard from my mortgage company (Wells Fargo). Yesterday was a beg and plea session for my financial information because they are certain they can get me into a loan modification. My only reply was, send me a copy of the note.
The calls are recorded, so I did not fall to the leading trap of fessing up to responsibility to the loan. Yesterday, the caller was carefully trying to get me to state that I did in fact have a loan with the company. For instance,
caller: "We're showing a balance of $XXX,XXX.XX on your account, are you aware of this balance?"
My reply, "No, send me the note I asked for to confirm."
caller: "No problem, we will get that sent right out to you, but in the mean time, I'd like to go over this balance with you."
My reply "What balance, send me the note."
caller "The passed due balance is $XXX,XXX.XXX and we would like to see what we can do to get your loan modified to cover this balance, would you be interested?"
My reply "What balance, send the note."
caller: "ok then, do you intend to keep the property?"
My reply "your damn right, have a nice day"
Today
Pretty much the same conversation as above. They called twice, the second time, they were a bit more crafty.
caller: "We're showing a balance of $XXX,XXX.XX on your account, and we have a sale date of March 21st, are you aware of this balance?"
My reply, "No, send me the note I asked for to confirm."
caller: "You requested a copy of the original mortgage note?"
My reply "Yes, I did"
caller: "ok let me see if I can find it real quick" a few minutes of hold time... "Ah I have it right here, it was made out on such and such a day on such and suach a year".
My reply: "Wonderful, send me a copy."
caller: "you want a copy?"
My reply: "Yes, I want a copy"
caller: "ok, I will have to transfer you to another department."
my reply "ok, before you transfer me, was that sale date March 21st a hard date?"
caller: "No, actually there is no date at this time. We are not projecting any foreclosures in your area until well after 2012."
My reply: "WHAT? The world is gonna be over by then, why are you bugging me about this now?"
caller: "Uh, well uh, what I mean is the date could come at any time, we just aren't projecting any until after things are, uh, well you just never know."
LOL
My reply: "Ok, no problem, so the date you specifically mentioned, March 21st, is that the day my property will be sold?"
caller: "No."
My reply: "Is there a date that you can tell me when my property will be sold?"
caller: "No"
My reply: "Ok, transfer me then"
I was transferred to the customer service department where my call was dropped while they were looking up my mortgage note. About 15 minutes after my call was disconnected, I gotta return call from a different area code. The gentleman apologised and assured me he would put the copy in the mail.
These calls are coming in from area codes all over the country. Each one was able to pull up a copy and read the material. Thus, what they are sending me is an electronic copy, not a copy from the original. I believe this is an attempt at appeasement. Be careful, they are recording these calls as always, are attempting to get phone confirmation that you own the debt.
There is no sale date on my home, but the loan was screwed from the beginning in my case. The wrote it with my ex-wife on it, and she never signed it. They let it fly anyway. She is on the title because we were married when we originally bought it, but were divorced when I refinanced.
Good luck out there!
With Love,
Your Brother
