have made on the loan to date;
2. A breakdown of the amount of claimed arrears or
delinquencies, including an itemization of all fees charged
to the account;
3. An explanation of how the amount due on the
Monthly Billing Statement ($1,000) was calculated and a
explanation of why this amount was increased to $2,000 on
August 1, 2005;
4. The payment dates, purpose of payment and
recipient of any and all foreclosure fees and costs that
have been charged to our account;
