It all started while my husband was deployed 1/13/2009-1/23/2010…we sent in Power of Attorney documents, a letter of authorization…several times…because it was a VA loan I could not be on the mortgage…my husband took time out while he was in Iraq to fax over once again a letter of authorization…then we sent in power of attorney about 5 times and to this date they still say they have nothing…

In December of 2009 we never received a check for our taxes…it was December 26th…so I called and asked them about it and they refused to talk to me and I told the lady that it is against the law to not have our check here before the 31st so that we can pay our taxes so I suggested she tell me what the hell was going on or I would pursue other actions…so she told me that they had automatically sent our payment to the city of Oshkosh. I asked…the whole amount or just the property tax amount. She told me the whole amount which was $1000 more than usual because our sidewalks were redone and our recycling bin was added on there… so our account went $1000 in to the negative…I asked her why we weren’t given the option to pay the extra 1000 quarterly (250 every 3 months)…she said that we were sent a letter stating that they would automatically pay our taxes…which mysteriously we never received…so then I questioned whether or not they looked at what was actually taxes and what was not and she said they only look at the total amount not the itemized portion which clearly states sidewalk and recycle bin…NOT property taxes in which that was what we agreed to for an escrow…not for everything else to be paid…so with that our escrow went 1000 into negative and our payments went from 676 to 888…we have two small children and one income…I am now a full time 40 hour a week student… we could not afford the extra 200+ per month so we were paying what we could afford…little did I know they don’t accept partial payments…so it was going against us…but instead of sending the money back they kept it…I had them apply it to make a payment because all in all its our money not theirs…so they did…we fell behind again and are now facing foreclosure…we have been served with a packet and a mediation option…we have contacted a HUD agency and are gathering all the information we need for them to help us… we can hardly afford to live with all of the expenses we have and we don’t want to lose our house…I have 5 months left of school and then I can get a job…I don’t know what to do…all I know is flagstar bank needs to check themselves because they do not help their customers they only try to find everyway to screw them over and take their money…WE NEED HELP!!!

#1 Consumer Suggestion

Don't mix the issues, do this

AUTHOR: Steve - Bradenton (U.S.A.)

The first thing you need to do is to learn how to separate the issues. One thing has absolutely nothing to do with the other, LEGALLY.

You ARE dealing with LEGAL issues here, so learn how to separate them.

First, if your husband is deployed, he is protected from any collections action INCLUDING foreclosure under the provisions of the "servicemembers civil relief act". You need to assert these rights in wriring, so I suggest you take this to the base legal office.

Also under that act, ANY revolving or installment debt that existed prior to the deployment must be reduced to 6% by federal law under the same act. Some will do this on a retroactive basis if you provide them a copy of his deployment orders along with your request, which MUST be in writing.

The bottom line here is that nobody can touch your home or your bank accounts under this act, buy YOU must assert your rights.

And, it gets better. These provisions apply for 90 days after he returns home!

It works with some utility companies as well, as they will do it under the honor system even though they don't have to under the law.

Car payment-House payment-credit cards-installment loans, etc. They are all covered and must be reduced to 6%, and all collections activity of any kind must cease until after 90 days from his return home.
