TD Bank US Holding Company Mortgage Complaint

TD Bank US Holding Company Mortgage department,

Home equity loan or line of credit Loan modification,collection,foreclosure New York

We took out - home equity loans ( - and - mortgages ) with the same bank, TD Bank approx., eight years ago. ( we have a - mortgage ). At the time, we had no idea the effect it was to have on our lifestyle especially after plunging into finanical hardship in 2011 and beyond. We began to beg them to lower our mortgage interest rates so we could afford the payments which we were starting to pay late and they would not comply. They soon began to ruin our credit and it got worse as we tried to process a remodification on our own twice and once, with a local HUD not for profit. It just kept being rejected. Finally, it got so bad we could not longer pay and stopped making payments for almost a year while looking for an attorney to assist us. They started foreclosure proceedings against us and would not budge no matter how many times we tried for a remodification. We spoke with several attorney 's and even wasted time with a firm in CA who told us they could get them to settle. They ended up almost stealing our money whcih we


we do n't meet the debt to income ratio that they establish and according to these standards we can afford these payments. They are going to tell us that we can definetly put food on our table with over $2700.00 a month in mortgage payments and almost another $1000.00 per month in regular bills!!! They offered us only a recast which they consider a form of modification. It is only bringing us current. It is not modification and they know it. They get away with calling it one. We owe even more now, our payments increased and they passed legal fee 's on to us too, about $3000.00 per loan. They call themselves a friendly bank. There is nothing friendly about them. It is exploitation of middle class people who were just trying to do the right thing and consolidate bills that came partly from large emergency home repairs. We are also now facing a loss of income as one earner is very likely being laid off this spring from a long time position. We are going to lose $30000.00 in income. According to their " standards '' I am sure we are going to be told that we can still 'afford '' this. I was just told this two days ago by one of these representatives who handles these complaints. It 's an insult to our intelligence. We have to face losing our home or being forced to sell if we ca n't get these loans modified? Six years and counting of suffering and misery. If we have a real emergency we care going to lose our house because of these loans. Shame on TD Bank!!
