On XX/XX/2019 I called ( on my cell phone ) US Bank Home Mortgage to ask if I make a mortgage payment the next day ( because that was when I got paid ) and would I have to pay a late fee, the customer service representative said no. The next day I made my mortgage payment online through US Bank and shortly after I received an E-Bill payment confirmation email from US Home Mortgage stating " Dear X, You are receiving this email to confirm your payment will be processed on XX/XX/2019 for account ending in XXXX. Please review the payment details below to confirm accuracy.

Thank you, U.S. Bank Home Mortgage '' I reviewed the details in the email and I thought everything was fine until today XX/XX/XXXX when I logged onto my mobile banking account and saw that the funds for my mortgage payment were not been taken out. I called customer service again at ( XXXX ) XXXX and asked why the funds were not taken out if I made the payment on the XXXX, the customer service representative told me that I would get a letter in the mail explaining what had happened. I said I want to know now, that I made the payment online and have a confirmation # that it was submitted successfully and that I didn't receive any type of notification from US Bank via phone, the phone app or email telling me that there was a problem processing my mortgage payment. On the contrary I got a confirmation # stating that it was submitted successfully. She then apologized and told me that there was an error when I made the payment online, a user error, and that I put one wrong number in my account number, and thats why the payment wasn't taken out and that I now have a {$31.00} Late Penalty Fee. I requested that she process my mortgage payment over the phone which she did, and that they waive the late fee because I should've notified me asap that it wasn't successful instead of telling me that it was successful and even giving me a confirmation #. She said that she couldn't waive it because I already used my one time courtesy waiver ( I used that over a year ago ). I said that this wouldn't be a courtesy for me that they should've notified me that it never went through.

After 47 minutes ( 40 min of which I was on hold ), two customer service representatives, and one very condescending yet apologetic Mortgage Supervisor named XXXX ( XXXX ), I was given the run around and told that the late fee could not be waived because it was my mistake not theirs, and that I could've used my phone to look up my account number, I used a check and apparently a phone is better according to the Mortgage Supervisor. I explained my financial situation and also that with the technological advances that they should've told me the payment didn't go and they said that they did and that I would get that letter in the mail. I feel scammed, and as though I am being nickle and dimed with this fee. This bank confirms my contact information with every person I've spoken to, they always ask what is the best form of contact and I say email and yet for this they are going to send me a letter 5-7 business days later to tell me that my online mortgage payment didn't go through when I found out on my own because I noticed that the payment wasn't taken out of my account.
