Issue: Loan servicing, payments, escrow account — 
Company: NATIONSTAR MORTGAGE LLC (CA)

I found a late payment on my credit report for XXXX 2015 for Nationstar Mortgage, even though XXXX was not there back a few months ago. 
I called Nationstar and they told me that they took part of my payment ( about XXXX ) and applied it elsewhere, so then there was not a full payment for the mortgage. They never told me they were doing this, or notified me, and they kept the full payment of approximately XXXX, which was credited from my bank account. 
XXXX XXXX told me to fax her the proof directly of my payment two weeks ago, which I did. I have not gotten a response so I faxed another letter yesterday, still no response. 
I called today and talked to XXXX in customer service who said that she saw nothing in my file. She tried to get ahold of XXXX but no luck. Now she told me I have to re-send everything to their research department and that she can not help me. 
They have a different department for every issue and no XXXX talks to anyone else so it is like starting over with an issue every time you call. 
Nationstar did something similar when I first opened my loan. I sent a cashier 's check for a large amount of money for my escrow account, and they applied it all to my mortgage, then tried to charge me interest. It took me over 3 months to get the situation rectified.

Company: TOTAL MORTGAGE SERVICES LLC (CT)

Acquired a mortgage in XXXX through XXXX XXXX at Total Mortgage in XXXX, CT. XXXX rarely responded to emails after he and his staff demanded we get documentation in by a certain day. We needed our lawyer to request XXXX extensions from the seller 's attorney as a result of XXXX dropping the ball several times. He told us he would try to float down our rate, then never told us when our rate even expired, then tried to bully us into paying for a rate lock extension. XXXX many times threatened us by stating we did n't deserve good customer service and he could charge us what he chose to extend the rate. We had to ask for the GFE paperwork XXXX times until it was finally emailed. 

4 days before our closing the company all of a sudden demanded we close all our credit card accounts since they were paid off. XXXX associate XXXX, then told our lawyer we would n't be closing until at least 3-4 days after the set date. The icing on the cake was right before closing where XXXX admitted to bullying us because we asked to many questions and again said we did n't deserve good service. He then began shouting about all the loans he 's closed this year and how great the company is. Many people we worked with to close our loan were surprised and apologized for the poor service we received by this company. 

I was fine with dropping this but felt a complaint should be filed after I posted a review on XXXX and now XXXX has begun harassing me by texting my cell phone about my review. The next step if I get another text from him will be a visit to the police station in the town he does business in order to discuss harassment charges.

PHH Home Mortgage is servicing my mortgage. In XX/XX/XXXX, they sent me a year end mortgage interest statement Form XXXX for Year XX/XX/XXXX. Since I had not reason to believe that the statement could be erroneous, I passed the statement onto my Accountant who filed my Taxes for the year XX/XX/XXXX. Later I received an amended Form XXXX and the changes were on the statement and due to which i have to re-file my taxes. My accountant again charged me for the filing of the amended taxes and thus i incurred another cost due to the negligence of PHH Mortgage. I did reached out to PHH Mortgage through phone and e-mail and i was assured that they will re-reimburse me for the cost re-filing. However the next time I called them to inquire about my re-reimbursement for the additional cost I was being tossed from one department to another to no avail. Since the issue started from an erroneous statement and give my experience with the Mortgage accounting this could be pre-cursor to company wide mismanagement and ultimately fraud. I would like you to take a look into this matter and investigate as it may only be me who is affected by this erroneous statement there must be many other customer of PHH mortgage who must affected by the same issue. Please take a look into how they have address this issue with other customer and how they have ratify this issue. Again my suspicions are towards a company wide fraud.

All I want is my bill removed from collections, so it does n't negatively affect my credit.

Company: American Financial Resources, Inc. (FL)

I have a mortgage through American Financial Resources ( AFR ) and was offered an IRRRL through eLend, which I agreed to complete. It has been a nightmare since inception. They XXXX around and the rate went up, then was finally locked in. Then, my escrow was half ( per month ) what it was supposed to be. XXXX XXXX provided the excuse that since wind coverage is n't a required coverage, they forgot and left it off. Keep in mind my original mortgage was through AFR and they had the wind in the escrow. I live in the XXXX - where we have hurricanes ... which means high winds. I asked for the escrow to be recomputed and now my payment is $ XXXX/month higher than my ORIGINAL payment. Keep in mind, my insurance and taxes have not increased more than {$100.00} in a year, my financed amount went from {$250000.00} to {$240000.00}, and my interest rate dropped XXXX basis points ( .5 % ). So my original payment was roughly {$1800.00} and is now at {$2000.00}. With my principal amount at roughly {$1100.00}, the $ XXXX+ escrow amount per month puts the escrow around $ XXXX- $ XXXX/year. Last year, my flood, wind, liability coverage and taxes were {$6800.00} ( roughly ). I want AFR to fix this once and for all. Getting tired of dealing with these XXXX as they think I am stupid and will pay an additional $ XXXX/year for them to hold on to. My first payment will be considered " delinquent '' by XX/XX/XXXX so I would like this fixed before then. Thank you.
