Product: Mortgage — Conventional home mortgage
Issue: Trouble during payment process — Payment process
Company: Specialized Loan Servicing Holdings LLC
State: NE

Complaint narrative:
I have made several payments on my loan- and have 2 issues. 
The loan statement indicates that all payments are accepted. So when a partial payment is made, it is not applied to the account and " held in suspense ''. Or if we paid an amount over the actual amount due, it has not been applied to our account- yet late payment and other fees have been applied. The statement clearly indicates that partial payments are accepted yet when partial payments are made they are not applied. 
In addition to that, I have made over 6 payments ( 2 per month starting in XXXX ) all of the online payments i sent were rejected. My loan would be current as of today, however they have sent it to foreclosure. I can pay the total amount due today, however, they will not accept it and are making me wait for official reinstatement paperwork- when it should have never been closed. I am being charged late fees and attorney fees, when the amount due has been sent several times and then set back to my bank. All of the fees shouldn't be charged and the loan should not be in foreclosure- the money being held in suspense is really confusing and causes the loan to appear late when it is not. 
I don't appreciate the bad marks on my credit and all of the fees when i have tried making these payments over and over. I have called customer service several times with no help at all. I am awaiting reinstatement paperwork and I can pay the loan in full anytime. 
I have called customer service several times over the life of this loan to get help on this " held in suspense '' and the customer service agents have agreed that it is confusing and hard to understand. In the past i was credited late fees, as this " held in suspense '' makes it seem like a payment hasn't been made. It is so hard to do business with Specialized loan servicing and I wish we could move this somewhere else. 
In addition, when they reject the payment- it takes almost 2 weeks to get the money back, so finding another way to get the money to them right away isn't even possible. I have talked about this with the different banks that I am using and it is an issue with specialized sending the money - not the banks crediting the money to my account. If my payment is going to be rejected i'd love a phone call or even an urgent text message to let me know right away so i can take care if it immediately.
