Complaint #1678316 submitted on 12/01/2015 relating to Banco Popular de Puerto Rico. Complaint relates to Mortgage Other mortgage - Loan modification,collection,foreclosure .
Complaint was submitted via Web and sent to the company on Tuesday 1st December 2015.
In XXXX 2015 I requested and signed with Banco Popular of Puerto Rico to enter the Loss Mitigation Program since I was having some difficulties to pay my monthly mortgage payment. I submitted the documents to the bank as they requested, including XXXX financial statements prepared by an Accountant. Surprisingly when I was in good faith negotiations with the bank, I received a letter from a XXXX attorney and his XXXX Firm that my file was sent to them in order to file a foreclosure lawsuit against me. My attorney called them and explained that there must be a mistake since we were negotiating with the bank under the Loss Mit Program and never received a communication from the bank denying my request. The file was sent back to the bank to continue the Loss Mit Process. I also tried to pay the due amount of the mortgage payments but the bank conditioned the payment that I also pay {$500.00} for the previous lawyer services. I have email evidence of this. The bank sent me an invoice of this legal fees from XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX a company in the U.S. My attorney called the bank 's XXXX attorney that sent me the letter and he said that the Firm did n't sent an invoice to the bank for such legal services. I have evidence of this. I sent to the bank the due amount monthly payments without the {$500.00} for legal services and the check was returned via mail to me. To this day I 'm under the Loss Mit Program in good faith negotiations, sent already a THIRD financial statement three weeks ago since they wanted XXXX updated and by my surprise I was summoned today with a Foreclosure Lawsuit from Banco Popular of Puerto Rico even when the bank never sent me any type of communications denying my application under the program. I have evidence of the communications by email with the bank, the invoice from XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, the application I signed to enter the Loss Mit Program, among other documents. Today I called the bank and the employee that is working my case told me that being under the Loss Mit Program does n't protect me from being sue by the bank in foreclosure. I understand that the Federal Laws and Regulations require that I first need to be notified with a communication from the Loss Mitigation Program denying my case before being sue in foreclosure.
