Consumer complaint received 2021-07-26
Company: MANN FINANCIAL INC.
State: MT
Product: Mortgage
Sub-product: Conventional home mortgage
Issue: Trouble during payment process

Complaint:
Mann Mortgage made an over payment of my property taxes in XX/XX/2021. This resulted in an apparent shortfall in my escrow account, which they want me to make up for with a 12 month shortage spread. In addition, they projected the same error into XXXX. This mistake doubled my escrow payment for taxes from {$2400.00} to {$4800.00} for the coming year. 
As a result of these errors, they want to increase my monthly escrow payment beginning XX/XX/XXXX from {$270.00} ( {$200.00} tax + {$70.00} Insurance ) to {$690.00}. 

In addition, the payments they have projected do not reflect the actual increase in property taxes that occurred this year. According to my tax statement from XXXX County, my annual taxes increased from {$2400.00} to {$2900.00}. My semi-annual tax payment from escrow in XXXX should be around {$1400.00}. Instead, they project a payment in XX/XX/2021 of {$1200.00}. 

I am filing this complaint because I have reached out to Mann Mortgage but I have gotten no response. I called their customer service number on XX/XX/XXXX and spoke at length with a representative. I was told that the matter would be reviewed by the appropriate department and that I would be contacted within 10 days. Having received no communication, I called them again today, XX/XX/XXXX. I again spoke with a representative who told me, " We don't give call backs '', and that the issue " should be resolved by Friday ''. 

This is unacceptable customer service for a product with a 30-year life span. My property is a duplex. I live in one half and I rent the other half. So in addition to being a homeowner I am a small business owner. I need to recalculate my tenant 's rent in a timely manner before their lease expires XX/XX/XXXX. Mann Mortgage 's poor customer service is making that very difficult.

Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY
State: TX
Product: Mortgage
Sub-product: Conventional home mortgage
Issue: Trouble during payment process
Sub-issue: Payment process

Complaint:
On XX/XX/, I paid {$6500.00} toward my mortgage with Wells Fargo. This is way above the minimum required payment, which is {$1400.00}. 

According to the web portal, Wells Fargo applied the following amounts to my mortgage -- Escrow : {$600.00} Interest : {$140.00} Principal : {$690.00} Additional Principal : {$3600.00} The above amounts do not add up to {$6500.00}. {$1400.00} is missing, coincidentally, the same amount as my minimum payment. 

I called Wells Fargo customer service. They explained that their systems applied the additional {$1400.00} to my XXXX XXXX, XXXX  payment. 

Frist, I complained that this should not happen - all additional amount should be applied to principal immediately so I am paying less interest going forward. The agent said they would work with the system to adjust the payment amounts and apply the extra to the principal as requested. 

Second, I complained that the incorrect payment logic has happened before, and I have reported this problem before, too. This should not have happened again. The agent said they were making some note on my account to fix this issue, but I am not confident in the fix. 

Finally, I complained that the company should clearly list payment applications in the web portal. Thankfully, the statement itself was correct after I reviewed the statement later. The web portal and statement should align. Even if the web portal doesn't report all the same detail, it should not make it seem like money vanishes.

Company: PORTFOLIO RECOVERY ASSOCIATES INC

Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed
Sub-issue: Debt is not yours

Complaint:
This communication is a follow-up in regards to closed complaint XXXX-XXXX  Portfolio Recovery Associates, LLC is in clear are violating federal laws against my person and natural person and of the FDCPA Laws. From their previous response to my original complaint, there is a clear admission of guilt. The Affidavit of Truth, debt validation form/letters, and correspondence, as well as exhibits, have all been ignored. Portfolio Recovery Associates, LLC responded by sending a letter with absolutely no information and did not include the requested information from any of the correspondence sent out with certified mail validation. This included NO notarized under penalty of perjury Affidavit of Truth responding to my Affidavit of Truth line by line signed by the CEO, CFO, or any superior of Portfolio Recovery Associates, LLC, NO completion of the debt validation form, I have yet to receive validation on behalf of the account with any contract bearing my signature stating I would be responsible to pay any debt to Portfolio Recovery Associates, LLC, LLC or any company that they represent and whom I have no contract with for an alleged debt I do not owe. Instead, I have received numerous debt collection attempts and itemized report statements as " proof '' that said debt has been validated from the " original creditor '' XXXX and which per FCRA/FDCPA does not constitute verification. Please note that on XX/XX/2019 the CFPB released its Fair Debt Collection Practices Act Annual Report and it stated the following : The Bureau notes that one or more debt collectors continued collection activity despite not properly obtaining and mailing debt verification after a consumer exercised his or her 1692g rights. Specifically, the Bureau calls out the practice where debt collectors forwarded consumer debt validation requests to the relevant clients, who mailed responses directly to the consumers. Section 809 ( b ) of the FDCPA requires a debt collector, upon receipt of a written debt validation request from a consumer, to cease collection of the debt until IT ( meaning the collection agency ) obtains verification of the debt and mails it to the consumer. Examinations found that one or more debt collectors routinely failed to mail debt verifications before engaging in further collections activities.
