Consumer complaint received 2015-09-24 00:00:00
Product: Mortgage — Conventional fixed mortgage
Issue: Loan servicing, payments, escrow account — 
Company: LoanCare, LLC
State: MN

Complaint narrative:
We refinanced with XXXX XXXX Loans who immediately sold our loan to LoanCare. I received a letter from XXXX XXXX Loans with information on where to send my first payment which was due XXXX XXXX, 2015. I had my bank electronically send the payment, but XXXX XXXX Loans provided an incorrect loan # which I was not aware of until I received a call from Loan Care that they had not received my payment. I called Loan Care and they told me to have my bank send proof of the electronic payment so they could find the funds and transfer them to my account. I did that, and thought it was taken care of on XXXX XXXX, 2015. I received another call from Loan Care about 2 weeks later saying they had not received payment. The customer service person took all my information again and said she would take care of it. I received another call from Loan Care on XXXX XXXX saying they still had not received my payment for XXXX XXXX and I was delinquent. I called my bank and we got on a XXXX way call with Loan Care. My bank sent Loan Care the information again and I was told it was taken care of and I would not be receiving any more calls from Loan Care, it was now in their hands because they knew they had the money, they just had to find it. I was also told I would not receive a late fee because they had the money. I just got another call today saying they have not received payment and I have a late fee of about {$45.00} due. I 'm now on the phone again with them and on hold. As I sit here and wait, I started reading reviews on XXXX. Every single review is the same as mine. This is ridiculous!! I have spent hours on the phone with them, and they have my money!!! This company needs to be looked into. It seems to be common practice for them. How can they receive money and not investigate where it goes when it has an incorrect loan # on it. There is only XXXX address associated with the account. I just got off the phone and they once again said they have escalated the issue to a supervisor and they will get back to me in 3 days. I 've been told this before and nothing has happened. I 'm hoping that by sending this complaint my issue will soon be resolved.

Complaint narrative:
This debt was not mine, I had it removed from XXXX credit reports while it was under the name of a different collections agency. Now, I am getting harassed by a new company called XXXX regarding this previously deleted account. I feel very uneasy about this issue. I was yelled at over the phone, and was told that I am basically a bad person for not paying my " debt '' by the collector. I do not deserve to be treated this way, especially for a debt that I had been cleared of already.

Issue: Loan servicing, payments, escrow account — 
Company: CARRINGTON MORTGAGE SERVICES, LLC
State: VA

Complaint narrative:
Carrington Mortgage bought out our loan from XXXX XXXX XXXX in XXXX, 2016. We did receive a letter from XXXX XXXX XXXX stating that our mortgage was moving over to Carrington but never received information from Carrington on how to pay my bill. As my payment was due XXXX XXXX and by XXXX XXXX I still had n't received a notice I called Carrington Mortgage to find out that they had n't even put the account through the system and it would be up to 2 weeks before they did. I was able to get an account number and the representative told me for the first 90 days there would n't be a late fee added as long as the payment was received by the end of each month. I verified this information with her twice and made sure payment was made by the end of each month knowing by the 4th month it was back to regular due date. However on the XXXX and 3rd months I was not able to make a payment online as it kept getting rejected. I called Carrington and they stated the bank routing number was incorrect even though it went through the first time. I had to call back several times to get that issue straight. On the 3rd month the routing issue came up again and after a call to Carrington clearing it up the representative stated by Friday it would be unblocked and I could make the payment, there would be no late fee charged because it was their error. I tried all day Friday and all weekend to make the payment just to get the same error. On Monday I called again to find out I had a late fee for non payment. They finally agreed to waive that late fee but did not waive a fee I was charged for paying past the due date even though I was told I had til the end of the month. We were told the original representative that told me I had the first 90 days without a late fee was no longer working there and I was responsible for the late fee even though I was told the wrong information. We have never been late on a mortgage payment and due to this false information we now have a record of being late plus the expense of the late fee. When we called FTC a few weeks ago she stated that we were not the first complaint she had for them that day alone. On the BBB record they have a XXXX negative rating.

Complaint narrative:
Called me on a XXXX debt I 'm not even sure exists, although I did have an account there at the time. Then when I mentioned the statute of limitations in Oregon, XXXX in the litigation department claimed that overdraft fees to a federal bank are n't protected by state statute of limitations. I got payment plans and called back after talking to my wife and looking online. They said their company name was XXXX. I asked them for their address and they refused, they also contacted me from numerous phone numbers from different areas in the United States. So I told them to stop calling or we would talk to a lawyer for unfair practices.

Product: Mortgage — Conventional fixed mortgage
Issue: Loan servicing, payments, escrow account — 
Company: LoanCare, LLC
State: SC

Complaint narrative:
Upon turning over my mortgage from the originating bank to LoanCare, I advised and provided them with documents showing that the Homeowners and Property taxes had been paid, up front and in full. I asked that they remove the escrow whereas they provided me with steps that I needed to perform to begin the process. I followed their steps, providing them with their compliance and they still continued to collect escrow. Every one of the 32 phone calls leading up to this day, their agents gave me a textbook response that there is a cycle and it will be deleted within 5-7 business days. Well, I call every five-seven days and with each call they tell me it is in process and I continue to send to them copies of the paid taxes and Homeowners insurance for the years XXXX and XXXX. They leave me on hold in excess of 90 minutes, they bounce me from escrow to insurance and insurance to escrow. I have requested management and they will not escalate. No one is ever available and no one ever calls me back. Time was of the essence because I needed to make sure they are not paying out what has been paid and what do I receive in the mail, a notification that they have indeed paid out again. I have not received my monies that they collected for escrow even though I provided them with payment receipts. The insurance company even advised them personally on 4 occasions that they were in receipt of full payment for XXXX and XXXX. I want off of this merry-go-round and for someone to intervene so that the escrow is removed as I requested in excess of 32 phone conversations. They assured me it has been in process for the past year. This is unethical, I want my money returned and the escrow removed and they be accountable for this misjustice.

Issue: Cont'd attempts collect debt not owed — Debt is not mine
Company: KBR INC DBA RASH CURTIS & ASSOCIATES
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I disputed and requested a validation of the debt Rash Curtis and Associates claimed I owed. Consumers have the right to request a validation of debt to ensure that the company collecting the debt has not made an error. Sending me notice of the amount I supposedly owe does not prove that I owe the debt ; it merely proves that their company seeks to collect the specified amount. In response to my request, I received a letter from Rash Curtis noting the amount I allegedly owe which was incorrect ( such as the location I received treatment ) and a copy of an outdated patient ledger/statement. In addition, the statement copy sent merely illustrates that I was properly insured at the time services were incurred and their client, XXXX XXXX, was negligent in billing my insurance provider within the required time limit. Therefore, neither Rash Curtis nor their client have properly substantiated their claims that I owe this debt and as such, it has nothing to do with me. 

In addition, I have provided significant evidence disproving Rash Curtis 's claim that I owe this debt and I have made several attempts to resolve this issue with both parties ( see attached ). My insurance provider at the time ( XXXX ) also attempted to contact both companies to resolve the issue and provided documentation showing I am not responsible for this debt as XXXX XXXX was contracted with them at the time of my services. Yet, Rash Curtis still reported inaccurate and invalidated information to my credit report over 5 months ago and despite receiving information from me disproving their claims shortly thereafter, Rash Curtis has not removed the debt from credit report. This action constitutes fraud under both Federal and State Laws and the negative marks found on my credit report are in violation of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act and is Defamation of Character.

Company: CARRINGTON MORTGAGE SERVICES, LLC
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
My loan was sold to Carrington Mortgage Services by XXXX XXXX XXXX effective XXXX XXXX, 2015. Prior to the sale of my loan, I was provided with my yearly escrow analysis which explained that my mortage payment would increase by approximately {$30.00} per month. This seemed like a large increase, so I did my research and found out that my taxes and insurance did increase so the increased escrow payment was justified. Fast forward to XXXX 2015. I am now an unwilling customer of Carrington Mortgage Services. I received a new escrow analysis from Carrington stating that my mortgage payment would increase {$120.00} per month OVER the increase that XXXX XXXX XXXX had already implemented. I lookled up my taxes, insurance, principal and interest amounts for each month and came up with exactly what XXXX XXXX XXXX was going to raise my payment to. {$1200.00} per month. I called Carrinton XXXX and was on hold for XXXX+ minutes each time. And while both employees were courteous, I was eventually told that they could " cushion '' my escrow however much they want and I have no recourse. So my payment is now {$1300.00}. This is unacceptable. I did not agree to these terms and will not pay this. It is appalling that I now have to deal with a company that I did not choose and who can change the terms that I legally agreed to with XXXX XXXX XXXX.

Complaint narrative:
In XXXX of XXXX, I received an escrow reimbursement check from LoanCare because they said we had an overage in our escrow account. I called them and explained that they needed the money in my escrow account to pay my summer taxes and sent the funds back to them to deposit into my escrow account. When I received my XXXX year end statement from LoanCare, I realized that they never paid my summer taxes from my escrow account. I called on XXXX XXXX, XXXX to ask them why and they said that the issue would be resolved by XXXX XXXX and that someone would call me by then to let me know. When I had n't heard anything by XXXX XXXX, I called again. I was told that the claim was never submitted and that they would send it to their tax department and have it expedited. They said it would be resolved by XXXX XXXX and that someone would call me. When I did n't hear from anyone by XXXX XXXX, I called back again and explained my situation again. I was told they would send it to the tax department and have it expedited. I reiterated that they were the third person to tell me this and asked how I would know that it was going to get resolved. They apologized and PROMISED to call me by XXXX XXXX and that it WOULD be resolved by then. By XXXX XXXX I had n't heard anything and called back for the fourth time. I was given the same story and I then asked to speak with a supervisor. I was told that the supervisor XXXX XXXX would call me within the next 24-48 hours. It has now been almost three days and no one has called me. Six days ago, I requested an advocate through LoanCare 's website to help me get this issue resolved but have not heard from anyone.

Complaint narrative:
Dear XXXX ( XXXX ), I requested PMI cancellation from my mortgage server, Loan Care, and paid for an appraisal ( {$390.00} ). The check was mailed on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX and Loan Care deposited and credited the money on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX. After that point, Loan Care failed to order the appraisal and their PMI department refused to speak with me on the phone or via electronic written communication. I attempted to contact the Loan Care PMI department on the following dates ( XXXX XXXX XXXX ) with no progress : - XXXX/XXXX/XXXX XXXX- XXXX/XXXX/XXXX XXXX- XXXX/XXXX/XXXX XXXX- XXXX/XXXX/XXXX XXXX- XXXX/XXXX/XXXX : XXXX and XXXX- XXXX/XXXX/XXXX XXXX- XXXX/XXXX/XXXX XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX- XXXX/XXXX/XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX tactics delayed the appraisal required to remove the PMI to XXXX/XXXX/XXXX and has delayed removal of the PMI, costing {$160.00} per month. The delays in preforming the appraisal is indicative of acting in bad faith not in the spirit of the Homeowners Protection Act, 1998. 

The appraisal have been completed and I have made a written request for a copy of appraisal and removal of the PMI on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX. 
Loan Care again refuses communication. 

I desire the following results : -A copy of the appraisal report-Reimbursement the additional month 's cost of PMI ( {$160.00} ) incurred due the delays and repeated communication failures-Removal of the PMIMany thanks in advance for help you can provide.

This agency is reporting an error on my credit file. I had medical coverage and met my deductible. This medical bill was paid by my insurance. I disputed this erroneous account with them on XXXX XXXX, 2015 and never received a response. I attempted to contact them again in XX/XX/XXXX and, again, received no response.

Complaint narrative:
Began working towards a modification of the mortgage XX/XX/2014, when the loan was 60 days behind due to loss of income. It was NOT in default at that time. Company continuously loses documents, delays proceedings, and is currently engaging in multiple Dodd-Frank violations with my FHA loan. Refusal to accept payments has put the loan even more behind than when initial talks for modification began.
