Notice Of Error Guidance
Summary
You can include a request for information in your Notice of Error regarding loss mitigation. Clearly state and separate the request within the document. If your application was submitted more than 37 days before foreclosure, the servicer should suspend proceedings. You can request a shorter response time due to urgency. If the servicer doesnt comply, file a complaint with the CFPB. Regulation X, 12 CFR § 1024.41(g) requires servicers to suspend foreclosure if a complete application is submitted timely. If the servicer lacks transparency, include this in your NOE. Consider filing another CFPB complaint if the servicer fails to act in good faith. Organize documents and highlight key points for CFPB review.Full Conversation

My NOE regards a denial of loss mitigation application without specifying what home retention and non-retention options I was considered for and the reasons for the denial. Just blanket statement that I am not eligible for home retention options. My understanding is that the servicer must consider loss mitigation options according to the mortgage owner rules which were not referenced. Hence my request will ask for these.
It sounds like you have a valid concern regarding the denial of your loss mitigation application. When drafting your Notice of Error (NOE) and Request for Information, you can follow this structure:

- Clearly describe the error (e.g., denial of loss mitigation without specific reasons).
- Request for Information:
- Specify the information you are requesting (e.g., which home retention and non-retention options were considered, reasons for denial, the specific rules of the mortgage owner that were applied).
- Request for Response:
- State the timeframe within which you expect a response (e.g., 30 days).

RESPA allows 30 day response timeline but my foreclosure is scheduled less than 30 days away. Can I request a shorter response timeframe?
Yes, you can request a shorter response timeframe in your Notice of Error due to the urgency of your foreclosure situation. Be sure to clearly explain the urgency and specify the shorter timeframe. While the servicer is not legally obligated to comply, they may respond more quickly given the circumstances.

Also my application for loss mitigation was filed more that 37 days prior to scheduled foreclosure. Shouldn't the servicer cancel the foreclosure after receiving my application
In Massachusetts, if your loss mitigation application was submitted more than 37 days before the scheduled foreclosure, the servicer is generally required to suspend foreclosure proceedings while your application is being reviewed, according to the CFPB rules under RESPA.

what is the specific respa rule that requires that servicer suspend the foreclosure
The specific RESPA rule you are referring to is the Regulation X, * CFR § *.*(g):
- * CFR § *.*(g): If a borrower submits a complete loss mitigation application more than 37 days before a scheduled foreclosure sale, the servicer cannot move for foreclosure judgment or order of sale, or conduct a foreclosure sale, unless:
*. The servicer informs the borrower that they are not eligible for any loss mitigation options.
*. The borrower rejects all loss mitigation options offered.
*. The borrower fails to perform under an agreement on a loss mitigation option.

technically the servicer informed me that I am not eligible for home-retention options, however not transparently as described above. servicer did not inform me about specific non-home retention options just said that they may be available but I have to call them to inquire. It does not sound that servicer met the requirements of * CFR § *.*(g)
It appears the servicer may not have fully complied with * CFR § *.*(g) due to lack of transparency regarding non-home retention options. You might consider including this specific issue in your Notice of Error.
Would you like assistance with drafting language to address this lack of transparency in your NOE?

if I don't call the servicer to inquire about the alleged non-home retention options could servicer claim that I "reject[ed] all loss mitigation options offered?
If you don't call the servicer to inquire about non-home retention options, the servicer might claim you rejected all loss mitigation options offered. To avoid this, it's best to make the call or include a statement in your NOE that you were not provided specific details about these options.

i currently am awaiting servicer's response to a CFPB complaint on Dual tracking and corresponding NOE. The servicer scheduled a foreclosure while certain short sale offer was voluntarily offered by the servicer a couple of months ago. The offer since expired because I did not respond to it feeling that the servicer was pressuring me to short sale (or extorting) by scheduling foreclosure. It the NOE and CFPB complaint I asked that servicer cancels foreclosure because of cler dual tracking violation. Should I wait for servicer's response to dual tracking issue before filing a new discussed NOE/CFPB complaint?
Given your situation, it might be beneficial to wait for the servicer's response to your current CFPB complaint before filing a new NOE/CFPB complaint. This helps avoid any confusion and shows you are giving them an opportunity to correct the issue. Would you like advice on what to do if you don’t receive a satisfactory response?
yes
If you don't receive a satisfactory response to your current CFPB complaint regarding dual tracking, you can:
- File a New CFPB Complaint: Mention the lack of transparency, and the servicer's failure to comply with * CFR § *.*(d) and (g).
- Consult a Housing Counselor: They can provide personalized help and possibly intervene with the servicer.
- Consider Legal Action: If the servicer continues non-compliance, it might be necessary to seek legal advice.

In my application for mortgage assistance I stated clearly that this application is made more that 37 days before scheduled foreclosure. I also stated that I am making this application out of abundance of caution to maintain certain protections under * CFR § *.*. I also communicated that debt remains not validated and listed approx. * NOE that the servicer has not responded to fully and or transparenty. Would that be a reason to file yet another complaint to CFPB regarding lack of servicers good faith efforts ?
Yes, you have a strong basis for filing another complaint with the CFPB regarding the servicer's lack of good faith efforts in responding to your NOEs and validating the debt. This could be seen as a violation of * CFR § *.*, which requires servicers to respond transparently and in good faith.

I am writing to file a complaint regarding the lack of good faith efforts by my mortgage servicer in addressing my applications and notices of error (NOEs). Below are the key points of my complaint:
*. Timing of Application: I submitted my loss mitigation application more than 37 days prior to the scheduled foreclosure date, clearly stating my intent to maintain protections under * CFR § *.*.
*. Failure to Respond to NOEs: The servicer has not fully or transparently responded to approximately * NOEs I have submitted. This lack of response is impacting my ability to resolve the issues and avoid foreclosure.
*. Debt Validation: The servicer has not validated the debt despite my repeated requests, which is required under the law.
*. Dual Tracking Violation: The servicer has scheduled a foreclosure while a short sale offer was still in consideration, which constitutes a dual tracking violation.
*. Lack of Transparency: The denial of my loss mitigation application did not specify the home retention and non-retention options considered, nor the reasons for the denial, as required by * CFR § *.*(d).
These actions demonstrate a lack of good faith efforts by the servicer to comply with the necessary regulations and provide the required information. I kindly request that the CFPB investigate these issues and ensure the servicer complies with all applicable laws and regulations.

if there was a separate action in the land court 2 years ago regarding missing mortgage assignment, where court relied on servicers representation that the servicer is a holder of the note and that they are entitled to the mortgage assignment on that basis. The court relied on servicers representations and corrected a missing mortgage assignment.
Given the previous court action and the servicer's representations, it may complicate your current situation. Here are key points and considerations:
- Previous Court Action: The court's reliance on the servicer's claim of holding the note and entitlement to mortgage assignment.
- Current Issues: Debt validation, lack of transparency, and potential dual tracking.
Would you like to explore how the previous court action impacts your current petition and any strategic adjustments?

could that be a potential problem in the superior court when I ask for debt verification which was not accomplished in the land court
The previous court action may pose challenges when requesting debt verification in the Superior Court. However, you can argue that the servicer's ongoing lack of transparency and failure to provide requested documents warrant a new review. Emphasize the different issues at hand now, such as dual tracking and specific RESPA violations.

Would you like
what if the servicer does not validate the debt, can I than ask for damages or file a separate case for damages
If the servicer does not validate the debt, you may have grounds to seek damages or file a separate case for damages. Failure to validate debt as required under RESPA and other relevant consumer protection laws can be considered a violation.
- Potential Legal Actions:
- File a Complaint: You can file a complaint in court, seeking damages for the servicer's failure to comply with debt validation requirements.
- Seek Damages: You can claim damages for any losses incurred due to the servicer's non-compliance, including emotional distress, legal fees, and any other financial harm.

Would you like assistance with drafting a complaint for damages?
I sent the Cease and Desist letter to the servicer regarding time barred alleged debt and incomplete debt validation. Also complaint to CFPB. How will that help me in the future if servicer ignores and holds the auction
Sending a Cease and Desist letter and filing a complaint with the CFPB can help in several ways:
- Documented Evidence: Shows you have made good faith efforts to resolve the issue.
- Regulatory Pressure: The CFPB complaint can prompt regulatory scrutiny.
- Legal Leverage: Can be used in court to argue the servicer's non-compliance with RESPA and FDCPA.
If the servicer ignores your actions and proceeds with the auction, you may have stronger grounds to seek a Temporary Restraining Order (TRO) to stop the foreclosure.

Should I also send Cease and Desist to servicers attorneys that sent me a notice of intent to foreclose
Yes, sending a Cease and Desist letter to the servicer's attorneys who sent you a notice of intent to foreclose can help ensure all parties involved are informed of your dispute. It can also strengthen your case by showing you have made every effort to address the issue.

Re: Cease and Desist – Time-Barred Alleged Debt and Incomplete Debt Validation
Dear [Attorney’s Name],
I am writing to formally request that you cease and desist any and all collection activities related to the alleged mortgage debt associated with the property located at [Property Address]. This request is being made for the following reasons:
*. Time-Barred Debt: The debt is past the statute of limitations. The last payment was made in July *, and the right to cure expired in October *. Under Massachusetts law, the statute of limitations for enforcing this debt has expired.
*. Incomplete Debt Validation: Despite multiple requests, the servicer has failed to provide adequate validation of the debt, including a complete payment history, current amount owed, and documentation of the original wet-ink note.
Given these reasons, I demand that all foreclosure proceedings, including any scheduled auctions, be immediately ceased and that no further collection activities be pursued.
Additionally, please be advised thatI have filed a complaint with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) regarding these issues, and I expect full compliance with all applicable laws and regulations.
Should you continue to pursue collection activities or foreclosure proceedings without providing the requested debt validation, I will have no choice but to seek legal remedies, including filing for a Temporary Restraining Order (TRO) and pursuing damages for your non-compliance.
Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter.

After sending the cease and desist letter to stop foreclosure and collection activities until debt is validated can i still send QWRs and NOE s to the servicer
Yes, you can still send Qualified Written Requests (QWRs) and Notices of Error (NOEs) to the servicer after sending a cease and desist letter. These requests are separate from the cease and desist letter and address different aspects of the servicing of your loan.

even if QWR and/or NOE relate to debt validation?
Yes, you can still send QWRs and NOEs related to debt validation even after sending a cease and desist letter. Here's why:

- These requests ensure the servicer provides the necessary documentation and addresses any issues with your loan.

how does the administrative procedures act of * apply to my efforts of validating the debt
