HSBC Mortgage Complaint

HSBC Mortgage department,

Conventional fixed mortgage Loan servicing, payments, escrow account Nebraska

Fell behind on mortgage with Household Finance/Beneficial and made a payment agreement. Sent the first payment of more than agreed upon, but returned to me because it did not reach them within the date claimed ( takes time for mailing! ). The agreement was made after being denied for hardship assistance with the company, which in their denial recommended I do a short-sale or whatever, basically to get out. During this time I received several confusing correspondences within days of one another stating, thanks for the agreement, we want to help, etc. HUD does not assist on this company 's mortgages and HFC has a growing number of complaints nationwide on how they are taking back homes without working with consumers. I am one of them! Interesting that with 3 months of payments behind ( $700.00 check sent back today ) that their interest in taking my home coincides with the neighborhood being deemed 'historic ', perhaps making this more valuable. Anyway, I am able to catch up over the next 4 to 6 months, but the company is claiming 'default ' and apparently about to start foreclosure. Our circumstance happened due to medical bills for - and a garnishment I am resolving on my paycheck creating a better debt to income ratio within 30 days. HFC Beneficial has thousands of complaints listed online for foreclosures and difficult to work with. I am a witness and victim. Do NOT want to lose this home even though seems impossible to gain equity. Also they refuse partial payments, holding any payments sent in advance of a payment due without interest thus increasing the amount of interest owed - they apparently just hold it in escrow without applying any portion to payment.
