Hi Kelly,
Where do I start? I read your letter to my family tonight (taking a deep breath with every new sentence) Thank you! And yes, you can post any, and all of my stories. We're in this together.
The blog you posted saved our future! The key to ASC success was dealing with one individual, and after sending emails to Wells Fargo's President, V P, And CFO, I had a response in four days from ASC! My wife was the one who took the call that morning while I was out dropping off the kids at school, and when she called me on the road with the news which was:"We are calling you from the executive department of ASC, and are very sorry you have had to go through this, we are assigning you to an individual who is going to get things straight, and it doesn't get higher than this", I could not believe what I was hearing, something that we worked months on with nothing but confusion, misunderstandings, three months delinquent, then all of the sudden...this? It was like seeing 911 all over again, I don't believe what I'm seeing, and hearing!
I wept behind the wheel to the point of almost having to pull over, but continued driving because I needed to get home to my wife and hear it again in detail. As I walked through the door, I saw this look of disbelief in her eyes mixed with a joy I have not seen for a long, long time. When I sent those emails out, I never thought a reply was coming, but something happened. In the subject line of those emails read "Why do you want my home?" I proceeded to explain the 100's of horror stories written by ASC victims, and how they all sounded alike, as did mine. The one question they had to ask when contacting my wife that morning was "how did he get that email information?", and my wife's reply was "you can get almost anything off the internet these days", which is how I found you Kelly.
All I did was Google "ASC Complaints", and OMG, there you were, along with more than I could handle. Fox Television even contacted me based on a blog I submitted, and had been getting so many calls, yet mine stood out, and wanted to do a live interview with me at my home, but I had to decline, for that was the day we were to get the news on the Special Forbearance Option that was about to be put into motion. We got the forbearance, yet within a week, ASC called back, and based on a plan I suggested they use, was submitted to the investor, and they approved it three months ahead of schedule.
All of the delinquent payments were then rolled back into the loan, interest reduced, payments reduced, and the rest goes into the history books. I've got you to thank for this Kelly, and I have passed this info to others whom have contacted me, and told me that they are starting to move forward in a positive way. ASC has also told me that the plan I suggested they implement for us, will now be used in other situations. A plan that has never been used before. I'm a Realtor, suffering like everyone else, yet WAMU agreed to a loan mod on another property that I own, and worked so well, I had to tell ASC where they were falling short, and how this plan could make it a win, win situation for the both of us. 3% year one, 4.5%, year two, 5.7%, year three, and every year thereafter.
So there you go. It's snowballing, and God used you, as he has used me to help those who are at a total loss as to who to trust, and which direction to go. I still look back on that morning when I got that call from my wife, and immediately thought of you. I saved your blog in Microsoft word, and was able to retrieve it. I needed to say thank you over and over again. I'm a firm believer that when you do good for others, good comes back to you. You're a God send Kelly, and I owe so very much to you for what you have taught me. If not for that information I just happened to stumble across that day while on a last chance mission, our home would now be gone. A million hugs and kisses to you my dear, you to are a totally awesome person!
A wonderful Christmas to you and yours!
I believe in miracles Kelly, and whether you know it or not, God appointed you as my guardian Angel!
Warmest regards,
Jeff Taylor

Subject: i'm so happy for you!! Thank you for your kind words - they mean more to me than you could know.
wow -- I can't tell you how much your kind words were needed today. 30 minutes ago, I said out loud (only my dog hears me) "God I HAVE to have some good news TODAY!" Your e-mail may have been written a few days ago, and I'm sorry I didn't get your voice mail, but God used you tonight, Jeff. Just knowing you took the time to write is awesome. You will just never know, honestly, what a blessing you are.
So many people are hurting, and your encouragement took a 200 lb load off my heart and gave me double the strength and motivation to keep reaching out.
People are so scared to trust anyone - and they should be. May I share your e-mail with others fighting to keep their homes -- and prayerfully SOME equity? I do understand if you aren't comfortable, and I promise I won't send it any further. I have to ask because I know what it would do for so many facing the same mind boggling struggles. So let me know if you are comfortable with passing along some smiles.
GOD BLESS YOUR HEART. I THANK GOD ABOVE THAT YOU WERE BLESSED WITH A POSITIVE OUTCOME.
If you have already written your story anywhere, I'd love to read it! I want to know (I promise I'll keep everything confidential) who finally cared enough to help a hurting homeowner!
Yes, I'm still in my home but now after Wells Fargo Bank dba Americas Servicing saga was all worked out, loan reinstated, $12, 000+ credited to my mortgage account -- 20 days later my home was sold at a sheriff sale. I walked with eyes wide open smack dab into the middle of a foreclosure rescuer scam artist LLC. "Equity-Strippers." To just say just the very least, and leave you alone, they forged a Quit Claim from me to them, mortgaged my property to the max hat at one time had significant equity (for me) and now I'm fighting with
APPLE ASSETS LC
BEID: 3016292
DARRIN T. VOLK AND LARRY HEDENKAMP
9379 WEST 75TH STREET
OVERLAND PARK, KS 66204
under investigation for mortgage fraud, forgery, and sexual battery -- six identical cases in court at the same time all Quit Claim fraud, all forgery, but I'm still fighting just so exhausted. DEAR LORD, WHAT'S UP? I don't know where my story ended with you, but let me know if you want to hear anymore about the pain these lenders lovingly spread around -- if I were you and FINALLY had a happy ending, I sure would understand if you prefer to move on.
If I had a happy ending, well, I'd still stay very very deep in this. Too many people have too much to lose. And they are losing it.
Tonight I'm going to take my legal books away from this laptop, and pray a huge thank you for your happy ending. So, so nice.
Thanks for sharing.
