Issue: Trouble during payment process — Trying to communicate with the company to fix an issue while managing or servicing your loan
Company: RANDOLPH-BROOKS FEDERAL CREDIT UNION (TX)

I received a call today ( XX/XX/21 ) from Randolph Brooks Federal Credit Union saying my mortgage was past due. 

My initial response was " That's impossible... I have automatic payments set up ''. After some research it appeared my account was short {$300.00} on the day they tried to make the payment, but I received ZERO notification that the payment did not process. 

I promptly made a payment with the representative and hung up. As I was reviewing my account I noticed I was charged a late fee of OVER {$100.00} ( {$100.00} to be exact ). 

After discovering this late fee, I called back. During the conversation I informed the representative that I never received a notification that my automatic payment wasn't processed and I asked to have the fee waived as a courtesy since I've NEVER been past due on a payment ( anywhere, any loan ) and I've always paid over the minimum payment on this mortgage. The representative said she couldn't do anything but she could escalate a case to a manager.

I received a call from a manager earlier today telling me that the fee can't be waived. When I asked about their process for notifying me that my automatic payment was not processed, she said they didn't have one. She also let me know that they only call people AFTER the grace period for the loan payment ( meaning after they are guaranteed a late fee??? ). 

This process seems unfair, abusive and deceptive for several reasons...

1. Why would they not notify me that my automatic payment was not processed on the day that automatic payment was supposed to happen?

2. Why did they wait until AFTER the grace period before calling me to let me know?

3. Why is it that they can't provide a courtesy refund and ensure this is not reported to the credit bureau???

4. The fact that they can charge over {$100.00} for a first time late fee is abusive.

I am very conscientious of my credit score and payment history and the fact that I will now have a late payment on my credit report for a problem that could have been averted had I been notified is ridiculous.

Yet, in the midst of chaos, a glimmer of resilience emerged, a resolve to reclaim what was rightfully mine and restore the harmony stolen by unseen adversaries. These are the following accounts need to be removed :
