Recently, I read that you are investigating complaints against XXXX XXXX. XX/XX/XXXX I was going to file Chapter XXXX bankruptcy, which included XXXX XXXX XXXX card, but I decided not to continue with the bankruptcy. Due to that, XXXX stopped sending me statements. Then XX/XX/XXXX I received a letter stating that a debt collector had put a lien on my house due to the debt owed to XXXX XXXX. I contacted the Debt collector and I agreed to pay them {$100.00} a month til the debt was repaid. The problem is that they charge me 8 % interest on the balance. The debt Collector said that I owe them {$12000.00}. I have paid them {$100.00} a month since XX/XX/XXXX, and they said I still owe them {$11000.00}. At this rate I will never pay them off. I have tried to refinance my mortgage but because of the lien from XXXX XXXX and the debt collector 's refusal to subordinate, I ca n't refinance my home. I am XXXX years old and live on retirement pay. It would help a lot financially to have a lower interest rate on my mortgage. The debt collector is Machol & Johannes, LLC., XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX , CO XXXX, XXXX. I want them to remove the lien on my home and to discontinue charging me 8 % interest. I have no problem in continuing to pay them the {$100.00} a month until paid in full, or to reach a payoff settlement. I can manage to come up with {$4000.00} for a settlement.
