Other mortgage Loan modification,collection,foreclosure Virginia

We periodically had problems paying our - mortgage to Flagstar Bankin the past. This time we were behind by around 5 months. When they would call us, we would return the call only to be transferred to other areas, put on hold and noone actually answering the call. When I was able to pay on it, Flagstar refused to take our payment ( s ) if we were not making at least - payments at a time. So we started mailing our payments in using postal money orders. Then our access to our account online was totally disabled by Flagstar. We were no longer able to see the activity on the acount. all we saw was a message that said our mortgage had been sold to another servicer, and that the new servicer would be contacting us via letter. That was over three to four months ago and we still have not heard anything. And nobody from Flagstar will communicate with us. This is not the first unpleasant incident we have had with Flagstar Bank. They were the originators of our mortgage when we purchased our home. The interest rate on - the - and - mortgage was high, but


our - mortgage had been sold to another institution. So now they only held our - mortgage ( which to our surprise was actually a home equity loan ). As time went by we proceded to try and get the mortgage they held modified. We complied with all of their requests, and again, paperwork was lost or deemed incomplete. So I sent an additional copy only to have one of their employees send an email to her manager that had unprofessional remarks about our attempt to get a modification ( yes, she inadvertently cc 'd us on the email ). When I responded to both her and her manager about my displeasure of the contents in the email, the manager immediately replied to us with a favorable reduction in the interest rate along with a change in the repayment terms from being amortized over 30 years and monthly payments for fifteen years with a balloon payment at the end of the fifteen years, to a loan amortized over 20 years that pays off the entire loan in that time frame. It has been months since we have heard from them. And we still have no idea where our loan is.
