So who does own the loan, and what are their policies on modification? You say "they lied" rather than they made a mistake. So I guess you must know more about the details than you wrote above, since most of what you described (some I snipped) sounds like incompetence to me, not malice. > I don't feel great about seeking a lower interest rate, but indeed I have > threatened to walk away from the house if they continue to screw us around. > They stand to lose a couple of hundred thousand dollars... which I could > save us right now by walking away.

If what you have described does not qualify as treating you "extremely unfairly", then what does? To me, it sounds like they are incompetent (although in their defense, all of the loan securitizations have made the situation complicated). But since you want to modify an agreement in your favor, you more or less need to jump through their hoops, even if they are ridiculous. _______________________________________________ http://box535.bluehost.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l_mccmedia.com
