On XXXX XXXX, Mr. Cooper removed {$920.00} from my escrow account and stated it was to pay my property taxes. I noticed this was deficient and made a payment to cover the remaining {$4600.00} on XX/XX/XXXX. My payment was accepted and it is in the payment history of my county taxes for my parcel. The receipt number in the payment history matches the email verification I received from XXXX XXXX Tax Assessor. I've contacted Mr. Cooper via chat several times to request confirmation of the payments from my escrow, to XXXX XXXX Tax Assessor. They've only said " it takes time '' and we'll look into it. They've not taken any action to confirm their payments were received and I'm now facing penalties. Mr. Cooper online account shows they made a second payment on XX/XX/XXXX, in the amount of {$4600.00}. This amount was taken from my escrow account, which now shows a negative balance. Mr. Cooper has not paid my property taxes and has made errors with these payments. They refuse to attempt to locate the missing payments, reimburse my escrow account, or contact XXXX XXXX to locate the payments.

I experienced fraud and a security breach at Chase Bank. Fraudsters has breached Chases customer service phone number and managed to access my online banking credentials. They tried to wire transfer $ XXXX ( my entire bank balance multiple times ) over the course of two months. 

B/c I've been banking with them for XXXX years, I tried to work with them in changing my debit card info, also closing my older checking account, but Chase has been unable to stop the repeated attempts. I was told Friday XX/XX/XXXX, that their customer service system was breached. It took two months for them to disclose this information to me. 

I finally closed my checking account, changed my cell phone number ( got a number cell number form a different carrie ) and I am now getting Chase customer fraud care calls on my number cell number and text on this new number. I did not give this number out to anyone, my husband doesn't even know this new number. However, this morning I received a call from " Chase customer service '' and a Chase mobile number asking me whether I authorized a charge and asking for verification. I gave Chase the local bank branch my new cell number. 

This has been a two plus month ordeal and Chase is not telling the public or anyone about the breach. This seems really irresponsible and not ok.
