Astoria Bank Mortgage Complaint

Astoria Bank Mortgage department,

Conventional adjustable mortgage (ARM) Loan servicing, payments, escrow account Virginia

I have lost my job and do not make any meaningful money to pay the exorbitant mortgage. I have contacted Astoria Federal many times for assistance and modification but they always refuse to modify my mortgage. I was once given a reason that Astoria Federal do not conform to Federal Regulation and are not obliged to help me in any way. I have lived in my house since 2001 and my children and the entire family love our family home, community, schools, and church. I can not afford to loose this house and we love to continue living in this house. It has become our sacred home. Currently, Astoria Federal has increased our months payment from $1900.00 which was incredibly difficult to bear to $3300.00. Efforts to modify and lower the monthly payment of $1900.00 has been denied four times, but rather increased to $3300.00. Astoria Federal is just taking advantage of us financially and extorting. All efforts to modify or alternative assistance has been denied by Astoria on four consecutive times. I therefore write to request that my mortgage be modified as I lost my job and do not make meaningful money but my wife 's income is substantial to work for the modification. I ask that Astoria Federal work with us so that we can continue live our home and do not become homeless as the children are scared of becoming homeless now.
