Product: Mortgage — Conventional fixed mortgage
Issue: Loan servicing, payments, escrow account — 
Company: Arbor Residential Mortgage LLC
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
This is a response for case number XXXX. I am unable to gain access to the established account. To recap, I was diagnosed with XXXX XXXX around XXXX. Initially, I did not have insurance. The medical costs placed me in a financial deficit that also resulted in pre-foreclosure. Through the good graces of the Florida Hardest Hit Fund, I was able to keep my home. XXXX is the mortgager and XXXX is the servicer. However, XXXX sent me an account statement dated XXXX XXXX, XXXX ( see attached documentation ) indicating that total amount ( arrears plus principal ) due was {$28000.00}. On XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX paid XXXX {$8500.00}. I received account statement dated XXXX XXXX, XXXX indicating that total amount due after application of the XXXX XXXX, XXXX disbursement was {$23000.00} with a monthly payment of {$230.00}. On XXXX XXXX, XXXX, XXXX paid XXXX {$12000.00}. I received an XXXX XXXX, account statement indicating a monthly payment of {$230.00} and principal balance of {$13000.00}. The XXXX XXXX, XXXX, statement showed a monthly payment jump to {$310.00} even though all required payments including monthly mortgage, were made on time. It also reflected continued extraction of escrow payments for PMI, taxes and insurance even though I had paid all taxes on the property on time from the inception of the loan ( see attachments ). The only proof of insurance provided by XXXX was effective XXXX XXXX, XXXX, after I had submitted my initial complaint to the CFPB.. After submission of the complaint to the CFPB, PMI was dropped without credit for previously incorrectly extracted funds and monthly payment per the XXXX XXXX, statement increased to {$990.00} ( see attached ). At inception my mortgage was approximately {$130.00}. XXXX has levied charges for items such as {$430.00} for property repairs that never happened. I have lived in this property since inception. I repeat for emphasis, that I believe that XXXX and XXXX is attempting to steal government funds and force me back into foreclosure. Please take a close look at the documents I have provided. I am trying to determine the fair principal and monthly payment owed after the correct application of FFH funds. I need all escrow charges refunded to me as they were applied incorrectly at best, fraudulently at worst. They did not pay property taxes. I did ( see attached documentation ). Nor, have they provided proof of insurance effective prior to the date of my complaint to the CFPB. How can monthly payments fluctuate so dramatically at the whim of the servicer on a fixed rate mortgage that is not in default? PLEASE HELP!

Company: RoundPoint Mortgage Servicing LLC
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
We sold our home and the mortgage was paid off through XXXX XXXX XXXX on XXXX/XXXX/16. Several weeks later I was contacted via phone by Round Point Mortgage saying I owed them an additional {$400.00}, that the pay off had been short. I contacted the title company and they requested something in writing to show the shorted amount so it could be paid. Round point would only tell them to wire the money to the same place as the rest of the pay off but would not submit any proof of the shortage. Both myself and the title company have made multiple attempts to get speak with the mortgage company. Usually being on hold for near an hour at a time. They will not send me my escrow balance. Per the attached documents you can see the the loan was paid in full. My escrow account has a balance of {$1600.00} and a month after the loan was paid they are trying to take money from my escrow balance to pay principal and interest in the month of XXXX when there is no loan to pay on. I am seeking help in getting the full balance of my impound account.

Issue: Problems caused by my funds being low — 
Company: CITIZENS FINANCIAL GROUP, INC.
State: RI

Complaint narrative:
I have XXXX checking accounts with Citizen Bank. XXXX is a primary that has a XXXX plus balance anther is a older account that was setup for direct pay of utilities balance usually {$1000.00} or less. The bank suggested that I cancel the utilities direct withdrawal. I did cancel the utility direct withdrawal. The bank also suggested and demonstrated the online bill pay feature. I went on my online account and started paying bills online. When you click the pay bill online button it does NOT give you the option of which checking account to to with draw from, it just chooses which ever account it wants. On the next screen the site just defaults to a checking account it calls " default checking account '' showing just the last XXXX numbers which on the the main page shows just the last XXXX. This is where it gets misleading and confusing. You see the terms " default checking account '' and XXXX digits. If your not looking closely you can start paying bills like its your primary checking account. I started using bill pay with smaller bills and seemed to work fine. Then I started paying bigger bills and it over-drafted XXXX times in two days due to using the incorrect account number that the system defaulted. In my case it defaulted to my non primary utility paying checking account and rang up {$170.00} in fees which Citizen would not credit. It never gave me the option to CHOOSE a account initially and then defaulted to an account I never use and has insufficient funds. If the system defaulted to a specific checking account it should have defaulted to my XXXX account which it did not. I believe that bank defaults the pay bill feature to the account with less funds in it. Citizen could not give me a explanation for why the system defaulted to the secondary account and cost me {$170.00} in fees. All they can say is that the you can change the account after the SYSTEM CHOOSES a account for you. I want to CHOOSE my account not have the system default to which account it feels like. 
I feel that this is happening to others.

Company: ProCollect, Inc.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
First off, Pro-Collect used my application supplied to the apartment complex to call my dad ( in XXXX ), which they are not allowed to do. They advised him of my debt and called him so many times he had to block their number. Mind you, he was not co-applicant, he was just listed as a reference. Second, I called to pay my debt and the representatives are rude, disrespectful and condescending. Never in my life have I dealt with people who so unwilling to help. After the fifth phone call I finally was able to speak with a supervisor who was unwilling to remove my debt off my credit report as requested, which I do understand is a courtesy, but I paid my balance in full. When I asked why she said because I said so and that she was hanging up on me. Their tactics and representatives are awful and they should never be allowed to operate.

Complaint narrative:
RoundPoint Mortgage Servicing has repeated " lost '' my home owners insurance policy each year. Each year I resolve this only to have it happen again. This has gone on for 3 years. They are employed by XXXX whom is known for taking on " high risk loans. '' RoundPoint is renown for missing payments, losing payments, losing escrow or insurance payments etc. It seems this would be an excellent way of XXXX companies working together to make predatory investments. By missing payments, losing payments, etc the homeowner would be forced into penalties and payments that they may not be able to make. In my case they clearly laid out their intentions by threatening to move my insurance to a company of their choosing at whatever rate it happened to be after RoundPoint deliberately lost my insurance policy for a 3rd year in a row. A policy that has been with the same company for 6 years and was able to be renewed for the 3 years with the prior loan servicer without any issues or intervention on my part.

Complaint narrative:
In regards to CFPB Complaint # XXXX : Seneca Mortgage Servicing LLC claimed that they " ... previously responded to [ me ] regarding [ my ] complaint on XXXX/XXXX/15. We have attached a copy of that response for [ my ] reference. " This is a false statement, as evidenced by the XXXX mailing label which they provided as proof, dated XXXX/XXXX/2015, clearly showing that they did not in fact previously respond to me regarding my complaint. In fact the copy of the response that they reference which they attached to their CFPB response was the first time I had seen it. 

This just goes to show that Seneca is at best, incompetent, but I suspect there is something more going on here and implore you to open up an investigation of Seneca Mortgage Servicing for possible predatory mortgage servicing practices.
