stuck

Although the revised settlement agreement had been ready since the 24th of January, it was now March and nothing had been settled or signed. Fannie Mae was fed-up with the whole debacle, so Goodshepherd was told to deal only with Areola Humperdink at NBI. Unfortunately, she could not make a move without approval from her superiors, and things slowed down once again. She hinted that NBI management was probably not going to sign anything until the reinstatement payment was made.

She sent a revised Reinstatement letter...

Hello Jon,
Per our conversation yesterday, here are reinstatement figures good through 3/31/2011. I have not heard from upper management yet, I am still actively trying to obtain an answer. I am sorry for the delay.

Sincerely,

Areola Humperdink
Default Litigation Specialist
New Bastards Mortgage Inc.

From SWMBO to Moi, on March 5...

Do you think we should even settle with them since they are still waiting for the "Higher Ups?" They are still screwing us around and I want this settled. I will never wire transfer those Bastards any money without their signature on that damned settlement FIRST!. I don't know what kind of game they are playing, but I'm not wasting $5346.00 if they are going to screw us by taking our money and then refusing to sign. They can go to hell.

The same day, I told Lawyer man that I was ready to walk. NBI could have the house. I have another one. I was sick of fighting, tired of waiting, and didn't believe for one minute that this mess would be resolved to my satisfaction.

He told me that if I'd hang in for the duration, he would not charge a dime for his services in this matter. Pro bono sounded enticing and I agreed to continue the good fight.

On March 17, 2011 Goodshepherd once again involved Fannie Mae, urging them to nudge NBI to get things done in a prompt manner.
