Complaint narrative:
In XXXX XXXX I submitted a complaint similar to the XXXX today. SLS my servicer responded and alleged I had missed my XXXX XXXX payment, and that I did not make this payment until XXXX XXXX. If you will review attached proof of payment made you will clearly see I did not miss this payment. SLS ( my original complaint ) has been misapplying my monthly mortgage payments regularly. I do not know who can audit their files regarding my payments and unapplied payments but this is highly suggested. I have incurred late fees after late fees and now SLS has me in foreclosure.

Company: Specialized Loan Servicing Holdings LLC
State: OH

Complaint narrative:
SLS customer service told me my mortgage payments were current and I did not have to pay the XXXX XXXX payment because I had done a loan modification and the loan was current. The payments are {$840.00} each. But they require that the payments be sent by XXXX XXXX because the payments can not be paid online at their site. That 's another {$16.00}. The total payment is $ XXXX/mo. I was current until they said I did n't have to pay the XXXX Payment. I paid the XXXX payment today and went online to check the amount and it says I owe for XXXX and XXXX. I sent the XXXX payment via XXXX XXXX as usual for the XXXX Payment. I called and they said I owe XXXX months {$1700.00}. The customer service people who told me I did n't have to pay I questioned and she put her supervisor on the line too. He said the same thing, the loan was current. That call was on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX. I called yesterday and the customer service rep I spoke too said they should not have told me that and that they had mislead ( lied ) to me and she had notes in the file that they did in fact tell me that and that all their calls are recorded. She said she would get back to me because she wanted her supervisor to review the phone recording and ask me if that was ok. I am praying its not the same supervisor that lied before. I checked today and there is a class action lawsuit filed against this company in Colorado where they are located and multiple other complaints. I am sacred that I might loose my home and have been sick and XXXX last year. It would be impossible for me to move now. But based on their information my loan is current and has been since the modification last XXXX XXXX. But I think they tried and are still trying to file foreclosure on my home. The last XXXX cost me {$13000.00} on top of my mortgage and I received a new loan modification package from them yesterday. I did not ask for a modification. My loan is current except for their trickery about the XXXX XXXX payment. I 'm worried since my credit is bad because of my illness last year and to refinance would be difficult for me because I 'm self employed. And when I requested a payoff statement from them or even payment coupons they would not give them to me. The loan officer I went too said to get another loan I had to have a payoff statement. They will not give me XXXX. I 'm trapped and they are going to steal my home. 
Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX

Complaint narrative:
My name is XXXX XXXX, I am an elderly woman, after my husband died 2 years ago, I appointed my son, XXXX XXXX, as my Power Of Attorney. My son has brought to my attention some very disturbing information about the mortgage my husband had with XXXX XXXX Bank. 
XXXX has worked very hard to get information regarding the loan from XXXX Bank, who claims they own the mortgage, but they have yet to answer our questions. Unfortunately, XXXX Bank claims that my son has to deal with SLS, even though it is XXXX that is suing me. 
This has all become very confusing, my son says he cant get the information I need to defend myself. XXXX and SLS are running him in circles. XXXX is asking for a " summary judgement '' against me, and we have n't even had our questions answered yet. SLS and XXXX are stone-walling us at every turn. I have applied for a loan modification through the XXXX program, but so far with no success, because XXXX and SLS are asking for my personal information, which I will not give out, until they provide me with proof that they in fact do own the loan! 
please help me, I do n't know what to do next.

Company: Specialized Loan Servicing Holdings LLC
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I am refinancing my mortgage. A payoff demand was sent to the current mortgage servicing company on XXXX/XXXX/16. They issued an inaccurate payoff, because when they took over servicing of this mortgage they mistakenly created the account as a daily simple interest rate loan, instead of a 30-year fully amortized mortgage. Repeated efforts to get them to correct their error and issue an accurate payoff have failed, and my refinance can not proceed without an accurate payoff. Please note : This mortgage and another mortgage on a different property closed at the same time with the same originator on identical Notes except for the principal amount and interest rate. The same firm is now servicing both mortgages, but they got XXXX wrong ( as a daily simple interest loan ) and the other XXXX right ( as a 30-year fully amortized mortgage ).

Company: Specialized Loan Servicing Holdings LLC
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
The lender, XXXX ARM Trust Mortgage Pass-Trough Certificat XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX Bank XXXX XXXX, as Trustee as Serviced by Specialized Loan Servicing LLC, which I have my mortgage loan for my home located at XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, CA XXXX, is claiming that I have not paid my home mortgage payment since XXXX 2015 which is totally wrong. And to make things worse they reported it to the credit bureaus. Every month we call the lender to pay the mortgage and they take the payment from our bank account, purchase a XXXX XXXX check, which we pay for it. After the payment is done, they send us a copy of the XXXX XXXX receipt. This has been happening for the last 5 years without missing any month. 
At this time our home interest is variable so we are trying to refinance to get a fix rate. When we contacted some lending companies we found out that they are claiming we have not paid them and we got reported to the credit bureaus. On XXXX/XXXX/15 we sent the lender a letter requesting to remove the wrong information reported to the credit bureaus and provided proof of every payment made every month through XXXX 2015. We receipt a letter that it was going to take at least one month to investigate the case. This is affecting our credit as well as stoping us to refinance our home loan. We need to have a quick response as we are afraid that the interest rates will increase and we will not be able to refinance. In addition, about one year ago they were trying to do a short sale with our home saying that we missed the mortgage payment. Again, that was wrong, our attorney deny the request when we proof that we have been making our monthly mortgage payments. We believe these are unnecessary and wrong procedures on their part. We would like them to removed wrong information reported to the credit bureaus, approve and report to the court that they agree that our debts to them through the Chapter XXXX is zero and information can get recorder accordingly. 
We will be happy to provide information to back up our theory. l You can reach me at XXXXXXXXXXXX or you can call me at XXXX with a response to our request.

Company: Specialized Loan Servicing Holdings LLC
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
My mortgage was with XXXX XXXX XXXX, which I complained about because they withheld too much money in my escrow account. Then, in the middle of my complaint, they switched my account over to Specialized Loan Servicing LLC ( " SLS '' ). SLS was supposed to give me back a {$5100.00} dollar overage in my escrow account that they inherited from XXXX XXXX XXXX. They sent me an annual escrow statement that was supposed to have a check attached. There was no check attached. I called them. They said they were putting a stop payment on the check. After waiting and waiting, I called them on XXXX XXXX, 2016 and they told me the check was sent on XXXX XXXX, 2016 and to give it some time to arrive. I called them again on XXXX XXXX, 2016, and this time they told me that the check was sent on XXXX XXXX, 2016 and to, again, sit tight and give some time for the check to arrive. I 'm worried I 'm not going to see the money at all now. They 're already 2 months behind on giving me more than {$5000.00} THAT BELONGS TO ME. They do n't have any evidence ( tracking number or otherwise ) that they actually mailed the check out. With all this hoopla, you would think they would send the check in a manner that is designed to ( a ) insure that it arrives to me ; and ( b ) in a timely manner. But they didn't/do n't. I want the money that belongs to me and they 're not allowed to hold on to my money and keep giving me the runaround when I call them. This is ridiculous. I was forced into SLS 's hands by my previous mortgager -- I would NEVER want to do business with SLS.

I received XXXX statements from XXXX XXXX which stated that they were not a bill but an itemized statement of the cost of services provided.

XXXX XXXX XXXX was contacted and they stated that we had XXXX separate accounts for payment of {$200.00}. We requested verification of the debt and tried to dispute. Instead customer ser/ice representative blamed us for not paying stating that ', " the hospital has no responsibility to send you a bill for any copays or balance due, you need to check with your insurance provider for any balances ''. We again attempted to dispute but they just requested payment. When then called XXXX who claims that the bills were sent to the insurance provider for payment and a balance due should have been forwarded to us for payment. As of XXXX/XXXX/2016 neither XXXX nor has Medical Data Systems provided a copy of the orginal statements to validate the debt.
