Product: Mortgage — Conventional home mortgage
Issue: Trouble during payment process — Escrow, taxes, or insurance
Company: M&T BANK CORPORATION
State: SC

Complaint narrative:
My home property taxes were assessed at the wrong percentage of XXXX XXXX instead of XXXX XXXX because the house was not listed with the county correctly. When I saw the issue because of much higher my monthly payment was and my escrow being incorrect, I contacted XXXX, who was then the servicer of my mortgage. They told me I needed to go and fix the issue with the county, but advised me that it was best to go ahead and pay the higher incorrect amount now and to keep my loan current, and that when the county issued the money back to XXXX, I would receive a refund for the overage. This should have been in the amount of {$680.00}. As I was in the process of getting my taxes fixed with the county, I found out my loan was sold and now being serviced by a new lender, M & T Bank. They still have the incorrect amount as my monthly payment that is due. I have had to do A TON of back and forth trying to get this all situated. So on XX/XX/XXXX, a check in the amount of {$2700.00} was sent from XXXX XXXX to XXXX, who handles the billing for both of these lenders, the check initially went to XXXX, then I had to get XXXX to send the check to M & T, and now they are telling me that I am only due an overage of {$54.00}. I spoke with a woman named XXXX from XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/10, then XXXX and XXXX at M & T on XX/XX/10, and then their supervisor XXXX XXXX who told me I would be receiving a check for {$680.00}. A month goes by and nothing, then I receive a new analysis saying that my overage is only {$54.00} because the last analysis was saying I was suppose to pay {$20000.00} in XXXX as well, but I purposefully didn't make a payment to M & T UNTIL we got everything squared away, and now they are taking money back saying I owed them the higher, incorrect, amount. Bottom line is, I paid a higher, incorrect, amount to XXXX in XXXX, they sold my loan to M & T, and now they are telling me too bad, you're not getting the money back, even though that is what I was advised to do. Please help me rectify this, I have jumped through a hundred hoops and thought I had it squared away and it's not.

Product: Mortgage — FHA mortgage
Issue: Trouble during payment process — Payment process
Company: CMG Financial Services, Inc.
State: NV

Complaint narrative:
I have had several payment issues with this companys website. Recently i closed an old bank account. I reached out to CMG Financial to inform them my account linked to my monthly auto-payment had been closed, trying to avoid any issues. They told me the payment had gone through. This was impossible because the account was closed. Therefore the charge eventually bounced. I received no notice of this. The following month i owed them double plus late fees and bounced check fees. They then said my only option for resolution was to send a cashiers check, which i did. And they processed that check. Now it is XX/XX/XXXX, and i log on to make my monthly payment, the cashiers check processed and my account appears current, but the website still wont allow me to make online payments. I then call the customer assistance hotline to speak with a customer service representative and the office is, again, closed. My credit has received multiple negative hits from CMG Financial and I have paid multiple late fees due to their useless online payment system and their complete lack of proper customer service availability. I am a good customer trying to do right and being thwarted at every effort to maintain a clean mortgage record. These practices seem predatory and inadequate. Please help.

Issue: Trouble during payment process — Trying to communicate with the company to fix an issue while managing or servicing your loan
Company: Mr. Cooper Group Inc.
State: MA

Complaint narrative:
The mortgage company Mr Cooper is saying our loan is in default and in pre-foreclosure. We have been trying to resolve problems with our property taxes and escrow analysis since our loan was transferred to Mr Cooper from XXXX in XX/XX/XXXX. For the first year Mr Cooper held our mortgage, they did not pay our property tax bills. In XX/XX/XXXX, they paid the past due taxes of {$2600.00}, and conducted an escrow analysis using {$3700.00} as our annual tax bill. Our actual property tax for XXXX is {$1600.00}. Our monthly payment ballooned from {$1700.00} to {$2200.00}. We contacted them immediately and informed them we would be paying principal and interest amounts only until the escrow calculation was corrected. Because of how they apply payments, they consider our mortgage past due {$3100.00} since XX/XX/XXXX. Every phone number we have found for them goes to their general customer service reps who have no power to do anything, they take notes and say someone will get back to us. Someone named XXXX XXXX XXXX is supposedly our " mortgage specialist '' but we have no way to contact them. The only calls we receive are about collecting money they think we owe them, so then we need to explain the issue all over again with no resolution. Instead, we have received 4 letters about foreclosure.

Company: GOLDMAN SACHS BANK USA

Complaint narrative:
Today XX/XX/XXXX I received the outcomes of XXXX disputes that were reversed for the XXXX time to the merchant. These disputes were filed in XX/XX/2022. They were for XX/XX/2022 and XX/XX/2022. I filedXXXX disputes in XX/XX/2022 against the same merchant. I have had XXXX disputes ruled in my favor. So dont know how I still have XXXX left. I called them today to reassert XXXX of them. I have never received the receipts for them. I have called 5 times today and either was transferred and put on hold for half an hour or longer and no one would pick up so I had to keep calling back. Finally they answer and they are unable to send the receipts. Worst customer service ever. I have sent every time that I have reasserted these disputes the same evidence that I sent for the XXXX that was ruled in my favor. The evidence was good enough for XXXX so what is the problem now? I know its called harassment, maybe revenge? I am sick of this mess and have been dealing with it for a year now. You owe me {$17000.00} from the disputes that were ruled in my favor. My account has never been credited for all of them. Take the money for these last disputes from what you owe ME. You are the most corrupt bank I have ever seen. You will not get another dime from me. I did not authorize any of the disputes and I never gave that merchant my card number, password, PIN number or CVV number. I dont use Face ID or fingerprint ID. The IP address on the merchants evidence is not mine. I have sent you proof .Your bank authorized these transactions on a name and address!! I have researched this merchant and they are corrupt and are located in XXXX the most corrupt company in the world. You need to be shut down from your corrupt business practices. You have thousands of complaints for the same reasons that I am having. You are ruining the Apple name. You do nothing but lie and steal from the consumers. I will fight this till the day I die. I dont give up easily and I DO NOT PAY FOR FRAUD. I demand that these disputes be taken to XXXX Arbitration.
