Issue: Trouble during payment process — Escrow, taxes, or insurance
Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I was a loan officer for XXXX  years but I quit because every company I worked for was dishonest. I never would have picked Wells Fargo but they bought my loan a month after it closed. I could only afford XXXX  % down so they manage my escrow account and my loan closed way back in XX/XX/XXXX but my escrow accounts were paid early in XXXX  of XXXX which took several years for Wells Fargo to fix and I probably should submit a complaint about that as well since I got charged a month earlier than required. It has been fine until now and Wells Fargo just sent me a threatening letter to do forced place insurance. I looked it up and my insurance company is showing it was paid by Wells Fargo and I got the XXXX page and submitted it to Wells Fargo. They haven't responded yet but I want to make sure they correct this fraudulent behavior since I don't trust them at all and I really wish they had never bought my mortgage since I've had problems with them in the past.
