The entire experience was very painful as we were working with - - and then requested a new representative. - - became our focal point and after the long process of being denied a few times and served with foreclosure papers. We were in constant daily communication with - beginning in - -. Although - was not working then so she could not provide proof of employment, she received a severance package so we clearly had the funds to make full mortgage payments.
