Received a letter from New Penn Financial NMLS # XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, MD XXXX regarding an FHA Streamline Refinance. They wanted my SSN to pull a soft report.

I have requested the hard credit report be pulled from my XXXX Credit Report as I did not authorize a hard credit pull. New Penn employees are either not trained properly or a doing something against the wishes of potential clients.

Complaint narrative:
Just started working with Shellpoint Mortgage Servicing after being with XXXX for years. XXXX sold the mortgage. I am behind, I 've had many doctor/hospital bills and have been unemployed in the last 18 months. I am now employed but at a much lower salary. catching up is going to be hard but I can, I can also do a forbearance which just adds the 3 late payments to the end of the mortgage. this company sent me a hardship form saying I qualified, and then I get XXXX threatening notices with an intent to accelerate. I have no intention of letting my home go to foreclosure and find this just ridiculous. their on line reviews are terrible. 

It 's just a scam. 

I need assistance and will contact hud, will also contact my state AG 's office and will take all other avenues to protect myself and my home. 
Very disappointing and misleading company to work with.

Complaint narrative:
In XXXX 2016, my mortgage company, Benchmark, did not pay my homeowners insurance premium to XXXX XXXX XXXX from my escrow account. No one contacted me about the lack of payment, I just happened to notice that on my insurance app my policy was listed as " cancelled ''. When I called to figure out why my policy was cancelled, I spoke to XXXX representatives from the mortgage and insurance company and they said the situation was resolved. 
In XXXX 2016, my policy was still listed as cancelled. When I called, apparently the situation had not been resolved and my policy was cancelled.. Again, I got representatives on the phone who got in a XXXX way phone call with me to resolve any and all issues so that my policy could be reinstated. I payed {$450.00} in order for this to occur as a penalty. I also learned that my homeowner policy was cancelled for the last 6 weeks as a result of lack of payment. I was promised follow-up calls from each company in 10 working days to verify the situation had been resolved. 
XXXX 2016 - Still no payment had been made. Neither representative called to verify payment as set up previously. Spent a week on the phone with each company, and as off today XXXX/XXXX/16, no payment has been received. I am having to make the payment myself so the policy is not cancelled a second time.

Complaint narrative:
My situation started XX/XX/XXXX when I finally separated and moved out of the house, during this time I provided a total of XXXX mortgage payments, some of which where directly debited from my business account. Because of issues with my ex wife signing check out of the account without authorization, I came to an agreement of providing her with monies for the mortgage and needs for my kids. Mortgage payments never made it to XXXX and instead I found out later by my daughters that the house was going on foreclosure by the somewhere around XXXX XXXX. I contacted XXXX immediately and told them of my situation and ask for help. I was then contact by an organization Located in XXXX XXXX MN that stated needed my signatures for a modification being sought by my ex wife. I attended the place and signed paper work, but I never heard from them again. It was then XX/XX/XXXX, when I contacted XXXX again to find out, whether a modification had been done or what the status of the property was?. I found out that my ex wife was going trough bankruptcy, that the foreclosure process was not possible until some legal terms where met, I told XXXX many times I was not in bankruptcy, but again they say there was nothing to do but wait, however, they say to apply for a modification, which I did the XXXX. I did apply 3 times XX/XX/XXXX as paper work was either incomplete and or wrongly filled out, same happen in XX/XX/XXXX 4 times and XX/XX/XXXX 3 times XX/XX/XXXX 1 time. now XX/XX/XXXX is about to end the house is being sold on XXXX XXXX XXXX by the sheriff as I understand and many tries after trying my best to modify this loan I will loose a house I always intended to keep. I explained XXXX, Resurgent Mortgage and Shell point mortgage, to please give me a viable path to catch up, to put the existing debt on back of the loan, anything other then t=come up with a huge amount of money to bring the loan current. The most frustrating information on this case of mine is that I was never denied until the year XX/XX/XXXX, because I simply make to much money. I have a hard time understanding this process, being able to make payments disqualify me? being able to provide and be responsible takes me out of the favorable result of a modification. I have counted at least 17 time that I have tried for a modification, one single time of those I was denied for the reason already mentioned, this have to be a unique case? a single out case? or I do n't know what to call it. Please I bag like I did form the beginning, give an opportunity to keep my house and to work together with the bank to find a favorable solution to this modification, for me to be able to provide a roof for all my love ones that depend of me.

Complaint narrative:
I refinanced my home on XXXX XXXX, 2014 with New Penn Financial. In the mortgage document that was executed was an automatic payment enrollment form that states that I can have XXXX Mortgage Servicing ( New Penn 's mortgage servicing arm ), withdraw funds from my checking account biweekly on the start date that I specify. I specified XXXX XXXX. ( By having funds withdrawn bi-weekly, I pay down the principal faster. ) XXXX did not withdraw on the XXXX but waited until the XXXX. I objected that the XXXX was out of sync with my payday and that I wanted the agreement honored. They stated that they only draft accounts on XXXX dates each month and that I had no choice what date they drafted. When I objected they took me out of the biweekly withdrawal program and charged me a late fee. 

I 've been paying biweekly on my paydays since but because I out of sync with their schedule they charge me a late fee plus I am not getting the principal advantage because they do not honor my payments a paying down the principal. To get this advantage they say that I 'd have to pay an additional XXXX up front. 

I want them to honor their agreement, deduct my account on the date specified in the mortgage agreement, and credit my account with principal pay down. 

I 've filed XXXX Better Business Bureau complaints and they 've failed to respond to either. 
They call to remind me that my payment is late every month.
