Ticor Title Sues Countrywide

Ticor Title Insurance Company sued Countrywide Home Loans in Illinois’ Cook County Circuit Court.  According to media reports, Ticor alleged that a title policy it issued on a Kenwood neighborhood home in Chicago’s South Side may not be enforced by Countywide on account of Countrywide’s “reckless and grossly negligent in its underwriting” of the $360,000 mortgage used to purchase the property in 2007.  Allegedly, after the loan was closed, the borrower never made a single mortgage payment and the graystone was foreclosed.

mortgage fraud

1. Countrywide mortgage are sick predators’’

   Four years ago I borrowed $65,000 against my house that was paid for! And bought a fixer upper to buy and sell! After only three months of late or non-payment Countrywide filled papers for repo on my existing home, so I immediately reduced the price of the fixer upper to sell fast The day of closing we called countrywide for the actual pay off balance on that day, we sent them the check right after we closed for the amount in question. One month latter there calling to ask where our house payment was..And then said they were not paid off because of there foreclosure attorney fees were not added to the balance and gave us no price ,in which I would have paid immediately had I known the cost.
   
   A couple more months go by with weekly calls from us complaining wanting the pay off, somebody told us, it was between $4,000 and 5,000 but that we could not do anything about it yet! Just keep making those same high payments even after sending them pay off check for $74,120 ,They lead us down a four to six month time frame of diversion and storytelling and us calling weekly , just getting different stories from someone different every dam time. Finally they gave us an unbelievable cost of $16,000 which devastated us and then they forced us into a loan modification deal and say we owe $16,000 more than the actual pay off they quoted us, this is madness. I recently even went to get cheaper financing to pay this off And they want to add an additional $2,700 for prepayment fee’s please dear GOD somebody help..

   I believe Countrywide while being overly expedient in trying to steal my house (30 days) used stalling tactics (6 months) to over inflate the foreclosure costs and enhance there portfolio of what is obviously Predatory lending practices at its’ best, and I am begging for legal assistance and will be searching every angle possible. I will be following all lawsuits against Countrywide and joining them or going on my own to file suite unless all debt if forgiven Please help !!!
