Product: Mortgage — VA mortgage
Issue: Trouble during payment process — Escrow, taxes, or insurance
Company: CMG Financial Services, Inc.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
CMG Mortgage is continuing to violate federal and state law, XXXX  loan servicing requirements, and my statutory rights as a servicemember. Their actions constitute retaliation for exercising my military protections. 

Violations of Law and Rights : Cal. Mil. & Vet. Code 800 ( e ) : My deferment request submitted XX/XX/year> was valid and effective XX/XX/year>. XXXX failed to act within 30 days and only granted relief after I filed a CFPB complaint. This delay is unlawful.

50 U.S.C. 39014043 ( SCRA ) : CMG misapplied my XX/XX/year> {$3300.00} principal-only payment by diverting it to a suspense account, misrepresented my account as past due despite deferment, and refused to accept electronic submissions without unlawful documentation demands. 
12 C.F.R. 1024.17 ( Reg. X ) : Improper use of suspense accounts violates federal servicing rules.

VA Servicer Handbook ( M26-4 ) : Principal-only payments must be applied as directed ; servicers may not impose additional barriers to voluntary principal reductions.

False Status Reporting : CMG admits its system shows my account as past due during deferment. This inaccurate classification risks adverse servicing actions and violates both SCRA protections and consumer reporting laws.

Unlawful Escrow Condition : CMG states that I must pay escrow ( {$310.00} ) before it will accept principal-only payments. No statute authorizes this restriction, and it unlawfully interferes with my right to reduce principal during deferment. 

Retaliatory Conduct : CMG only approved my deferment after I filed a CFPB complaint, conditioning compliance on regulatory pressure instead of honoring the law.

CMG continues to block my ability to make principal-only payments, misapply funds, and falsely classify my account as delinquent. These actions directly target me for asserting my military protections.

Requested Action : 1. Compel CMG to immediately apply my XX/XX/year> payment as principal-only. 
2. Require correction of my account to reflect current/deferred status, not past due, and confirm no internal delinquency codes remain.

3. Prohibit CMG from imposing escrow preconditions on voluntary principal payments.

4. Investigate CMG for retaliation and systemic violations of SCRA, the California Military Families Financial Relief Act, and VA servicing requirements.

5. Refer this matter to the DOJ Servicemembers and Veterans Initiative and the California DFPI for enforcement action.

CMGs conduct is retaliatory and unlawful. Their practices misapply funds, misrepresent my account status, and place unlawful barriers on my rights as a servicemember.
