Nearly 5 months have passed since Wells Fargo foreclosed on my home and I still do not have the money I am owed. On May 20, I was locked out of my home and thrown in jail and lost everything I had worked my entire life for. My furniture, my clothes, family heirlooms, everything. On August 20, the people who bought my home and have my belongings, will be entitled to dispose of them and I will have lost everything, because of Wells Fargo's dishonesty. Today, I sent the following letter to Wells Fargo's attorney, Steven Sidman, asking that Wells Fargo pay the storage fees on my possessions, to prevent me from losing them on top of losing my house. I can only pray that Mr. Sidman realizes that Wells Fargo has done wrong and agrees to help me. ********************** Steven Sidman Via Facsimile Transmission to: (866) 278-1179 PO Box 10335 Des Moines, IA 50306 August 13, 2015 Re: Steven Mack Property Address: 12502 Landale St. Studio City, CA 91604 Dear Mr. Sidman, My name is Steven Mack. I believe you are already aware of who I am and are expecting my contact, given that when I call Wells Fargo's Customer Service number and identify myself, I am cut off and transferred to a recorded message advising me to contact you. On March 23, 2015, Wells Fargo foreclosed on my home and sold it for more than double what was owed on the loan, resulting in a sizable amount of surplus funds. Immediately after the sale, I contacted Wells Fargo, in an attempt to claim those surplus funds and was assured that I would receive that information, but Wells Fargo failed to provide it to me. On April 27, 2015, I contacted Wells Fargo again to request that information and my call was ultimately handled by Executive Mortgage Specialist, Anthony Schultz, who was extremely rude and demoralizing to me over the phone, and who told me that because my home had been foreclosed on, I was not owed or entitled to any money from the sale proceeds. Two days later, on April 29, 2015, Mr. Schultz sent me a letter stating that there were in fact, surplus funds from the sale that I was entitled to and that I would receive correspondence under separate cover, instructing me on how to claim those funds. That correspondence was never sent, and despite my repeated requests for it, and Wells Fargo's repeated promises to provide it, the information never materialized, because as we know now, the only information that Wells Fargo could have given me, was that weeks before the sale of my home, Cal-Western Reconveyance filed bankruptcy, closed their doors and went out of business and apparently had no intention of giving me the surplus funds from the sale, but Wells Fargo wasn't about to volunteer or share that information with me. I am terminally ill and unable to work, and without the surplus funds from the sale of my home, I had no money to hire movers or pay for a storage facility to put my belongings into. With the lockout date quickly approaching, I was desperately trying to find a way to keep from losing everything I own and had spent an entire lifetime working for. On May 20, 2015, I was locked out of my home and thrown into jail, because I had placed a sign in my windows warning people to stay out, while I tried to obtain the information I needed from Wells Fargo, to claim the surplus funds I was entitled to. Because of Wells Fargo's dishonesty, I have spent a total of 17-days in jail without adequate healthcare, and forced to live in my car for over 2-months. I am also being prosecuted for a one strike felony, none of which would have happened, without the actions of Wells Fargo Bank. I lost the entire contents of my home that day, because Wells Fargo lacked the integrity, ethics, honesty and morality to tell me how to claim the only money I have left in the world. I still have not received the money that is due me, and on August 20, 2015, the party that bought my home and put my belongings into storage, will be entitled to dispose of my possessions and what is left of my life will be gone forever. That said, I am asking Wells Fargo to pay for the storage of my belongings, to prevent them from being liquidated and disposed of on August 20, a cost that I assure you, will be significantly less than what I will recover from Wells Fargo, should my belongings be lost to me. I can be reached via telephone at the following numbers: (818) XXX-XXXX or (818) XXX-XXXX. The law firm of Wright, Finlay & Zak also has my contact information. Obviously, time is of the essence and I thank you for your immediate attention to this dire matter. Sincerely, Steven Mack
