This will hurt my credit. I have tried to make payments as much as I could but I can not catch up to making a {$2000.00} plus payment monthly and they refuse to help me.

Company: CARRINGTON MORTGAGE SERVICES, LLC
State: UT
Product: Mortgage
Sub-product: Conventional home mortgage
Issue: Trouble during payment process

Complaint:
We have continued issues with CARRINGTON MORTGAGE SERVICES , LLC They hold funds, charge a late fee then take months to fix the issue they created. This is the second formal complaint we are filing, the previous complaint number is XXXX At the time of writing this complaint, my payments are 2 months ahead of what is due. Typically I pay my mortgage a week early using auto-pay as shown in the attached payment history. I have done this in an attempt to avoid further dealings with CARRINGTON MORTGAGE SERVICES , LLC The issue... 
I was called after a late charge was assessed and told that I was behind in my payments. I immediately paid what they asked for then asked them to fix the issue and reverse the late charge. I was actually paid ahead and because they were not able to apply the funds accurately they left them in unapplied funds or automatically applied them as extra principal payments. 

I called on multiple occasions and ask them to fix the application of funds. Each time I asked them to explain the terms used in the payment history and how to avoid the issue in the future. Each time they were unable to define the terms and asked that I call back in a few days to check if the issue was corrected. 

Issues with CARRINGTON MORTGAGE SERVICES , LLC - they are a collections company not a mortgage payment processing company and treat customers poorly as if they are expecting the customer to dodge them and not pay. 
- they are not able to accurately and efficiently apply payments to the account, nor are they able to explain their own payment history decisions or terms - their policies force you to call them many times to fix an issue they created- I have spent many many hours dealing with CARRINGTON MORTGAGE SERVICES , LLC even though I am on autopay and pay in advance. 
- I consider this company as a scam and am sad they have my mortgage
