Company: Mr. Cooper Group Inc.
State: NY
Product: Mortgage
Sub-product: Conventional home mortgage
Issue: Trouble during payment process

Complaint:
My wife and I decided to pay the taxes ourselves on the home, which is when the trouble began. My wife and I then decided to have Mr. Cooper  pay the taxes and insurance. 

On XX/XX/2023, I received the following documents to have them pay the taxes and insurance. My wife and I filled out the documents and returned the documents to Mr. Cooper. In addition, I was instructed to send a XXXX dollar check to Mr. Cooper, which I did on XX/XX/2023, and indicated on the check that this would be applied to the escrow account only. 

Today is XX/XX/2023 ; I called Mr. Cooper and was told that my Escrow was open and closed simultaneously. How can my escrow account be opened and closed at the same time? 

I put on check in the memo section for Escrow shortage only. Unfortunately, Mr. Cooper failed to apply the money to my Escrow account. An attempt was made to move the XXXX dollars to Escrow, but because the account was open and closed, the money could not be moved. 

Mr. Cooper refused to answer whether they would pay my taxes on my home, having assured me on or about XX/XX/XXXX that they would indeed pay all of my taxes on my home. 

I can not afford to pay this month 's taxes as I gave the money I would use to pay the tax bill to Mr. Cooper. My wife and I have lived in the current home for the last 17 years and have never missed a single payment. However, we are now in fear of losing our home for failure to pay taxes brought on by Mr. Cooper and need immediate relief.

Complaint:
I first challenged the public record on my credit report on XX/XX/XXXX with the credit Bureaus because I was unsure of this information : Us Bankruptcy Court XXXX XXXX Reference number XXXX - XXXX XXXXXXXX Dismissed. I spoke with a Bankruptcy Lawyer in XXXX but NEVER filed any paperwork or did anything else, I was just inquiring. I saw this information on my report and challenged with the Credit Bureaus on XX/XX/XXXX.

I have attached the information that they responded to me with in which they DO NOT send information to the credit bureaus. This is perplexing because pursuant to the section 611, paragraph 5, subsection A, of the FCRA, they are supposed to delete this information if its not verifiable, which I've proven. I I'm requesting you to remove this item, as required, by law, due to lack of verification. You, as a credit bureau, willing provided false information, which is illegal under federal law. 

I have sent the corresponding paperwork to the Credit Bureaus again on XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX but to no avail which is what brought me to this process. I request this information be deleted because I have proved it is inaccurate an non verifiable

I contacted the GA HAF program after seeing the payment sit in the processed status for over one month and Ameris Bank nor the GA HAF program could tell me where the payment was and why it had not been processed completely. The GA HAF underwriter XXXX XXXX finally had the accounting department check the payment and they stated Ameris has two divisions a retail and a DVI division they made a mistake and sent the payment to the retail division. I wondered how could this happen with both sides talking to each other directly and Ameris verifying my account info with GA HAF via a XXXX How could this go on over a month and not get corrected? As a result Ameris continued to report negatively on my credit report even though they knew about this payment. They also engaged in negative reporting while I was in Covid forbearance and also reported negatively while I was in loss mitigation with an agreement not to report negatively on my credit. As a result of all this negative reporting some of my credit accounts has been closed and some reduced in credit. The GA HAF program underwriter said the funds had to be sent back to them and resent to Ameris. The Ga HAF program resubmitted the funds on XXXX back to Ameris DMI the correct division. To date Ameris has not updated my account to show this payment reinstating my mortgage account with the next due date of XX/XX/XXXX reflecting the three advanced payments. I have reached out to XXXX XXXX for assistance to see if they can with their mortgage servicer but Ameris continues work against me. Negative credit reporting when they should not due to forbearance or loss mitigation, Late response to mortgage assistance application, and not applying GA HAF mortgage assistance payments.
