Dear Wells Fargo,
Over the past many months, I have been in regular contact with Wells Fargo reps. Each one has been friendly, well informed, and helpful to the extent they were authorized. During that time, two offers were made by Wells Fargo. Neither one fully disclosed any obligation on the part of the bank. In my opinion, and that of those advising me, it would have been foolish to sign something so vague as to what Wells Fargo was to be responsible to do. I turned the offers down. When asked if they would sign such an offer your representatives even said they would not.
From time to time, I included ideas-graduated payment options, etc., giving me time to rebuild my business. None were even acknowledged. Having exhausted available options for keeping my home (and office) of 17 years, I have been pursuing a short sale. Over the past several days I have had conversations with some of your reps. On March 4, I was told to get certain docs to Wells Fargo for review and to submit the offer I represented was forthcoming, as soon as possible. There was no mention of any deadline. I sent in the requested docs. When the listing agent called to follow up and send the offer, he was told it was too late since it was within 10 days of the scheduled auction date and it would not be accepted.
Upon following up personally, I was told the same information. At no time during this process, including when the same agent had conversations with your Short Sale Department several months back was the 10 day ‘guideline’ mentioned. Wells Fargo postponed scheduled sale dates many times during the past many months. At times, I had made the request and at other times the bank reset it to give them more time as well.
Since this is claimed to be a ‘guideline’ I am asking you to delay the sale-scheduled for tomorrow, March 10, 2011, at 10:30 AM so the offer can be reviewed. There are many articles in which various banks claim not to want REOs and some others citing reasons they (you) might want them. So, my questions is-does Wells Fargo, under certain circumstances want some properties? Avalon, California is a resort area and many properties are on the market and some have sold for one half, or less, of their value 3-5 years ago, including the unit directly across the street from me.
If Wells Fargo chooses to proceed with the sale, it is my hope this ‘guideline’ is made clear to all concerned going forward.

defunct mortgage companies or lenders with no ownership of the note are being filed in Civil Court and Bankruptcy Courts. Some people suffer irreversible reprisals because of opposing
ILLEGAL property confiscation, and thousands are UNLAWFULLY homeless despite ABSOLUTELY NULL foreclosures. If homeowners sue for "Unfair Debt Collection Practices," lawyers make additional $$ through protracted litigation. Also, Wells Fargo files false IRS form 1099-As to receive illegal tax advantages.

Credit destroyed because:
1) We couldn't afford to pay any other bills while trying to make $4,000 timely forbearance payments for 5 months. Credit cards went past due.
2) Wells Fargo/ASC reporting unpaid mortgage payments.
3) Wells Fargo/ASC continue reporting unpaid mortgage payments during and after mod since 10/2008. We will not make payment till our loan terms are corrected.
4) Wells Fargo/ASC placed us into foreclosure while they were "having a printing issue" and delayed delivery of our modification documents, although we were assured foreclosure would not be taken.

We too complained to the OCC showing the banks refusal to obey FDCPA, etc. and the OCC replied that Wachovia has done all they are required to do, blah, blah, blah. Wachovia went as far as to electronically withdraw funds from our SunTrust account to cover 'interest' on a loan payment; we were unaware of the transaction for several weeks. Wachovia obtained our checking account number and routing number from a paper check written for a loan payment. This brings new meaning to 'right of offset'. Believe me, this is only the tip of the iceberg showing their unbelievable ethics, standards, & practices.
Long story short, Wachovia foreclosed & sued on the loan. We filed a countersuit, as well as suits against others involved in the mortgage fraud.
Wish us luck.... we have a long, tough road ahead of us.
