Issue: Trouble during payment process — Payment process
Company: Fay Servicing, LLC
State: AZ

Complaint narrative:
I got back from vacation. Went thru my stack of mail. Found XXXX statements from Fay Servicing. And another envelope. When opened, it included my payment check sent for last month saying my house was in foreclosure. The company stopped accepting my checks ( when not passed due ) in XXXX. Contacted company today, after verifying no checks have been cashed. I was told they mailed a demand letter ( not in my mail ) both certified and regular. I asked if the certified was returned since no one signed for it. They ignored the question. I asked when they called. They said a court order would be needed for that info. Said I had no voicemail to leave a message ( I have voicemail ). Said they mailed letters to house. Nothing in my stack of mail that was held during gone. They said notices would be in my portal. I logged Into the account, no demand letter or anything other than statements. I was told if I dont pay by tomorrow, house is foreclosed on. They said I have to call them with an online check or else. They said they dont have to give me longer than tomorrow. They tried to intimidate me and bully me. They said they cant do another demand letter, I just have to pay what they demand from me. They wont put anything in writing. I have to email them if I want anything. And 2nd person I spoke told implied I wont get an answer if I email. I was told that they arent scared if I sue them, they have everything ( but wont give me proof they sent the federally required paperwork ). They claim to not receive payments sent, and claim they notified me. I deal with several banks on several properties. Fay servicing is trying to manipulate and bully the consumer and wont produce paperwork. They said they never make a mistake and since I dont pay bills, this is all my fault. They wont get a supervisor, claim they are the highest power there. A demand letter is needed for a foreclosure payment and they flat out refuse to send. They just say heres the amount. We called you, sue us if you want to. They failed to notify me that they arent receiving payments. I verified mailing address. The guy on call 1 gave me a different address than wants on the remit. I asked about the remit address, he said oh, that will work. I said its not working, since you all of a sudden claim you arent getting my payments. He said you owe us the money, not our fault you dont get mail and dont have a phone number. 

XXXX XXXX, XXXX sends a demand letter with the amount owed by a date to clear it up. Fay servicing said we cant do that, we dont know the fees after tomorrow. 

They dont care I dont receive their mail. They dont care that they arent calling. They dont care there is an issue that they arent getting checks at the remit address. Its like they are purposing missing payments so they can abuse you when you call and threaten and bully the consumer.
