XX/XX/XXXX XXXX has misapplied my mortgage payments again for the XXXX time in XXXX months XXXX ) XXXX XXXX, Assistant Vice President of XXXX Mortgage Servicing, has knowingly made false statements to a federal regulator. When XXXX XXXX made the statement I have completed a thorough investigation into XXXX XXXX payment history, and he pays several mortgages with a single check When no such payments have ever been made in that fashion ; either XXXX XXXX is making false statements as to her investigation, or XXXX XXXX is making false statements to coverup XXXX multiple mortgage collection violations.

On XXXX occasions XXXX misapplied my extra principal reduction payments and taken several months to correct the mis-accounting. In the meantime, XXXX charged me interest on the extra principal I paid in advance. i.e. I made an extra principal payment XXXX month which was misapplied, the mistake was not corrected until XXXX or XXXX months later, in the meantime I was charged interest on those funds and cheated out of the extra interest savings I was due for the XXXX or XXXX months. These are compound interest loans and any savings in the early years add up to thousands of dollars in saving over the lifetime of the loan.

At least 8 times in the last XXXX months XXXX has defrauded me by misreporting my payment history to all XXXX credit bureaus. That is XXXX times they have misreported my pay history to a credit reporting agency. Every time XXXX misapplies my payments, they immediately report to the credit bureaus I am behind in my mortgage payments.

Over XXXX debits and credit to XXXX accounts in XXXX  months : This wreaks of fraud!!! XXXX does not possess the accounting expertise to correct the mess they have made of my accounts. XXXX needs to be audited. If they have been doing this to me over and over again for over a year now, a reasonable person would ask. When is the CFPB going to stop shrugging their regulatory obligation and audit XXXX servicing practices? My accounts need to be reviewed by a third party who specializes in these kinds of problems. Clearly XXXX will only take advantage of consumers when left to self-regulate. 

XXXX, sell my loans to another servicer!!! 

My accounts need to be reconciled by an independent third party who specializes in this type of accounting. XXXX has defrauded me on multiple occasions and can not be left to self-regulate.

Company response to consumer: Closed with non-monetary relief
