Issue: Loan servicing, payments, escrow account

Complaint:
Every month the company sends me a letter prior to sending the statement saying what my next months payment will be. I always pay my payment on time and have never been late. All of the sudden the XX/XX/XXXX statement comes and it does n't reflect what the payment letter stated the payment was to be. Then when I went to make the payment on line the it said exactly what the payment letter said was due for the payment. So I made the payment and the next thing I know they are putting my payments to a suspense account and saying there was a payment shortage. I contacted the mortgage company and they could n't tell me why and they would have to send it to the research department and they would get back to me within 10 days, which never happened. I have sent them emails to XXXX different departments ( I have attached a copy of one of the emails please note all XXXX were the same ) requesting the information and a registered letter which they acknowledge getting, but they still continue to charge me an additional amount every month. This has been going on for 3 months now and when I pull up my payment history they have all these charges and rev charges and some charges I have never heard of. I can show my payment history that shows payment after payment and then all of the sudden on XXXX XXXX all these crazy charges started. They refuse to explain to me what these charges are for? Again, this month I went to make the payment as always and the only amount it will allow me to pay is the regular amount ( and extra principal if I want ). Can someone please help me? I had a similar issue with them when they purchased my and loan and it took forever, but they finally straightened it out after they continually treated like I needed credit counseling and possible loan modification, when in fact i just wanted to make my regular payments on time and have them credited correctly, and now years later here we start again! Please note that i have EVERY statement from the very first payment on this loans origination approx 11 years ago. I have never been late one payment and never intend to!! I just want to make my payments and have them credited properly and if there is an additional charges please tell me what its for! Just think if they charged every customer an additional XXXX ( approx amount ) how much additional money they would make from those people that just pay and never question it. Now they are trying to jerk me around because I did question it and they refuse to give me an explanation or fix it!! Please help! Thanks

Issue: Loan modification,collection,foreclosure

Complaint:
I recently filed a complaint against Banco Popular de Puerto Rico regarding a mortgage modification ( XXXX ). I received a letter from them stating that I should call the lost mitigation department in order to discuss my alternatives. I called today, XXXX XXXX, in order to submit the evidence of my income and expenses. When the person on the phone made the evaluation of my case, she stated that since the deficit between my income and expenses was for {$700.00} the only alternative they could give me was to stop paying my mortgage for 3 months while my situation changes, and that I need to cut my expenses or make more money. Seriously, in what world are they living????? Is not like I can stop paying the electricity or the water services, or the student loans or anything. And is this ai n't bad enough, after the 3 months I should pay the three months that I have n't, at once, and continue with the monthly payments as they are. She said that the could have offer me a different option if the deficit between income and expenses was n't so big. I will like to know if this is even legal. I want to make a modification of my mortgage to be able to pay every month. They say I ca n't refinance because the property cost a lot less than when I bought it, and that I can make a modification with them because I wo n't be able to pay it. The only option they are giving me is to loose my apartment because they rather get no money instead of giving me a real option.

Company: CrossCountry Mortgage LLC
State: WA
Product: Mortgage
Sub-product: Conventional home mortgage
Issue: Trouble during payment process

Complaint:
This is a follow-up to a previous CFPB case ( case letter and loan number as well as previous correspondence attached ). Cross Country Mortgage took money out of our escrow account and paid the incorrect tax parcel due to an address mismatch. We first informed Cross Country of this on XX/XX/XXXX. Almost a month later we finally received correspondence from Cross Country Mortgage and a CFPB case closure notice indicating that they would refund the incorrect payment to our escrow and that our property taxes would be " completed on XX/XX/XXXX ''. However it is now XX/XX/XXXX and our property taxes have still not been paid, and late fees have now increased to {$600.00}. On top of that, on the servicer 's own website our address is still incorrect ( despite sending both physical and digital change-of-address forms multiple times in the past month ) and the tax parcel ID linked to the supposed payment is still incorrect. I want to note that dealing with this has been incredibly frustrating, since first calling in on XX/XX/XXXX I have made over 20 phone calls to Cross Country Customer Support, sent 5 different pieces of physical mail requesting address corrections and tax payments, and sent countless requests for support via customer email and chat. Not once have I received a non-form-letter reply via email, phone, or the chat system, the only response I have ever received has been the CFPB response letter, and even in that letter the things that were stated to have been done ( aka making the tax payment on XX/XX/XXXX XXXX have still not happened. Since this has occured, over {$600.00} in late fees have been added to my property tax payments, and this amount continues to increase month after month.

Complaint:
My ex husband was a XXXX. He drove to work and parked on XXXX and XXXX XXXX and everyday he received a parking ticket. He hid everything from me, and when I found out I made him promise that he would pay it. When we separated in our separation agreement we noted that it was not my responsibility to pay the debt and that it was his responsibility. The agreement was signed and notarized, making it a legal document. He has not paid a cent toward the balance and it is on my credit. Because he legally took responsibility of the debt that he accrued in my car that was registered to my name, I would like to remove these infractions from my credit report. I have attached a unsigned copy of our separation agreement. If the signed XXXX is needed please advise me and I will have my attorney forward it to you.

Complaint:
I do n't know how much they are charging in fees because the debt collector wo n't mail me a statement. He says he needs a payment arrangement before he sends me anything in the mail. When he called me, for the second time at work, and I answered him for the first time, he accused me of having a blaze ' attitude and shamed me for ignoring him. He was very unprofessional. When I requested he mail a statement, he said he could n't do that unless I gave him a debit card. I just want something to be sent to me in the mail. He scolded me for not calling him, and I told him I only respond to letters when collections are involved, but no one has ever sent me anything from his company.

Complaint:
I purchased a new motorcycle ( XXXX XXXX ) in XXXX 2016 which was financed through Commerce Bank. I put down XXXX dollars cash as downpayment and via trade in. I was hit by a car and the bike was totaled on XXXX XXXX. My insurance company covered the accident and sent the entire check to Commerce Bank rather than just the amount due on the loan. Commerce took several weeks to send me a check for the balance. In the interim I purchased another motorcycle ( XXXX ) and it was financed through Commerce Bank again. 

When I purchased the XXXX, I bought an extended warranty for {$2400.00} from the dealership. I was able to cancel this warranty but the warranty company sent the check to Commerce Bank. That 's where the problem began. Commerce Bank received the check on XXXX/XXXX/2016. I had to call them several times to get them to send me the check. I finally received a check from them on XXXX/XXXX/2016, over two months later. I deposit the check on that day. 

Today I checked my bank account, and Commerce Bank stopped payment on the {$2400.00} check and the funds were removed from my account with no notice to me. My XXXX charged me {$5.00} for the Return Fee on the check. 

I had no notice from Commerce Bank that they were stopping payment on the check nor any reason they would do this. Commerce Bank has stolen {$2400.00} from me and caused my financial institution to charge me a {$5.00} for their actions.
