Saxon sent me a foreclosure summons, which I was not expecting
I am currently about 6 months behind on first and 5 on 2nd. I have tried to work with mortgage company for last few months with no luck. Took over month to talk to anyone and found out the person that was assigned to my case was no longer there and they never returned my calls. Was assigned to a new person and when I finally talked to them, they said need $7-8,000 to consider working it out and didn't state what the settlement would be and I didn't have that due to family unforeseen medical issues. They tried to serve a summons yesterday, which I didn't expect since we were in negotiations, and we really want to keep the house. I feel you might be my last resort to work with them. I know they are probably overcome with foreclosures and thus a long time to process and get back, but has cost me a lot of valuable time! The second mortgage payment is $660 a month, just to let you know. We have some money as good faith, but not the 5 months or so behind.

The same happened to me, after negotiating for 3 months, now I received a foreclosure summon.
We need to report it to the federal and the state agencies and To the Congressman.
Modification but Saxon fails to return our phone calls or emails. Our loan is a subprime loan
which has been increasing every 6 months since 4/1/08 and we are unable to refinance as we owe
more than our home is worth. Our only option is to get a loan modification. We have been trying
to contact Saxon Mortgage since 1/8/08 to get this Loan Modification done, but Saxon has
FAILED TO RETURN OUR PHONE CALLS or DO A LOAN MODIFICATION. It has been 9
months. On 12-30-07 Saxon Mortgage agreed to look over our Sub-Prime Mortgage to do a
Loan Modification to freeze our interest rates and possibly lower our monthly payment by
decreasing the interest rate. Saxon mailed the paperwork for us to fill out regarding our income,
banking info, bills, etc. We faxed this information back on January 8, 2008. My wife and I
telephoned Saxon about every other day for the status of this loan modification. We did not
receive a phone call back until March, 2008 wherein the case worker, Sandra Vasquez advised us
to NOT make the April and May, 2008 payments since we were doing a loan modification and
making a payment would "mess up" Saxon's numbers. Ms Vasquez stated the 2 payments will
go to the end of the loan and will NOT BE REPORTED ON OUR CREDIT. She stated she will
call us back in 2 weeks to provide the completed Loan Modification. She never called back, nor
did any other Saxon Representative. My wife or I continued to Telephone & Email the Saxon
Loss Mitigation section and continuously left telephone messages, which went unanswered. In
June 2008 we check our credit report and Saxon DID REPORT the 2 payments that we were told
to not make. We continued to call Saxon Loss Migigation and they said they would expedite our
message and make it top priority. We NEVER received a call. On September 18, 2008 (8
MONTHS SINCE WE HAVE TRIED TO OBTAIN A LOAN MODIFICATION) the Saxon
representative LaKisha said that Saxon did received our fax 8 months ago, but they could not
read it. She asked to refax it - which I did do. Saxon did lie about this as they were working on
the loan modification in April 2008. I have left messages EVERY OTHER DAY for the new
case worker, Ronald Hanes at ext. 204768 - which were not returned. TODAY, OCTOBER 4,
2008, SAXON MAILED US A LETTER STATING THAT THEY CLOSED OUR CASE FOR
A LOAN MODIFICATION DUE TO THEY COULD NOT CONTACT US when we have been
calling EVERY OTHER DAY for 9 months. My wife is a stay at home mother and is home
EVERY day and we also have caller ID - SAXON NEVER CALLED. They have closed the case
since they say THEY cannot get a hold of US!!! We are trying to get help to avoid Foreclosure
and Saxon Mortgage will Not work with us or contact us!
After our application we had to refax the documents 3 times for them to finally say they'd recieve it.
After calling them many times - in May of 2008 they mentioned they would be working on the modification. In June of 2009 Saxon purchased 1 years worth of Homeowners Insurance on my name because of one month i skipped in 2007. My rate went up $250 a month.
After calling about the application many times in Summer of 08 - they continued to tell us to be patient.
In September of 2008 Hurricane Ike hit me and my family. We incurred some property damage and had to leave town because of the heat, food, power situation. I have a 5 year old, 4 year old and at the time my wife was pregnant. Even though this emergancy situation cost my family $2000 we still made payments to our mortgage.
In October of 2008 - Saxon called me to tell me that i could pay a month late without penalty due to Ike.
We asked then about our Loan Modification and mentioned to them that the adjustment was coming in November.
They continued to tell me not to worry and to be patient.
In November my wife gave birth to my beautiful daughter.
December comes around and I noticed that the mortgage bill is much higher.
So i call saxon and they said "Congratulations - you're loan modification has been approved!" I said finally... The loan modification was approved to freeze the rates from adjusting.
So the rep at Saxon continues to tell me that on November 5th my approval went through and they have frozen rate... I asked them at which rate? They said the rate you currently have.... 9.9999%
I flipped. They approved the modification to freeze the rate at the adjusted figure!!!
In December i paid my mortgage before talking to the rep... The rep mentions to me do not pay the mortgage until February of 2009. The rep also mentions that they will be Fedexing the docs over to me and to watch it in a few days.
Two weeks passes and it's after Christmas - i call them to ask them about the documents. When I call in - the rep asks me about my HOMEOWNERS INSURANCE that they don't show proof... I said i have proof! (KEEP IN MIND I have been paying my homeowners insurance double since June) So I called my agent and he faxed it over three times to them... I call Saxon and the rep said "It's goign to take a few days to look for the fax...We are back-logged."
Fast forward to January 2009... I get a notice of Foreclosure from the laywers of Saxon mortgage. I called Saxon to tell them about this and they asked why haven't i paid for my December payment. I have to explain to the rep the money was placed in upapplied funds... At that time the agent realizes it and says for me to be patient they can't apply those funds until the modification paperwork is recieved on thier end... Keep in mind i still didn't recieve the docs!
A week later i get the docs... The docs say i had 24 hours to sign/notorize and fax back... So i call Saxon and ask them why... They said because February is coming up and if i don't do it in 24 hours the rates will adjust.
I send back The forms out of fear... Then my Homeowners Insurance agent calls me to say that Saxon purchased a years worth of Homeowners... Saxon then notifies me that i have to pay an additional $250 a month for Homeowners on top of the $200 i was paying from June.
This week - i got another notice from the Saxon lawyers...
My wife and i have given up on them.
I want to pay my mortgage but not through all of this. I want to stay in my house - but i just can't handle Saxon!
I tried applying for refinance through other companies and they won't help! WHY???? Because after Hurricane Ike they show we have paid a month late to Saxon! After they told us to pay a month late!
