Company: Caliber Home Loans, Inc.
State: FL
Product: Mortgage
Sub-product: Conventional home mortgage
Issue: Trouble during payment process

Complaint:
Caliber home loans are making people pay for things that they should not be paying for. I have a mortgage with them and they require me to have a homeowner 's insurance policy that includes coverage of certain things. The fact is that I also pay for insurance through my HOA that covers the same thing... my hoa policy is a HO3 ( exterior coverage ), so Caliber like other lenders should require me to pay for an HO6 ( interior coverage, which is a lot less ) policy only... .but they don't. They have obligated me to have both policies. I only found out after I purchased my home that this was the case. My neighbors do not have that problem with other mortgage companies. They are all paying for what they should be paying. I have called and wrote, wasted time and effort proving that they are the only one 's doing this and they do not care. They told me that if I cancel my policy that they would buy a new policy and that it would be more expensive and that there is no way around me not paying for it ... ..your only option with caliber home loans is to pay the property off or waste tens of thousands of dollars in unnecessary payments for the lifetime of the mortgage. 
I can not imagine how many people are been charged double and do not know it.

This company is horrible!
