Consumer complaint received 2016-12-08 00:00:00
Product: Mortgage — FHA mortgage
Issue: Loan servicing, payments, escrow account — 
Company: MONEY SOURCE, INC., THE
State: WA

Complaint narrative:
The Money Source changed over to a new web-based mortgage management system that required everyone to re-register their account number. The new system did not have any banking information included so we re-inputted the information and scheduled the payment. There was nothing at all in the new mortgage system that showed our banking information or that the regular payment drawdown would occur, nor was there any response to my emails clarifying whether the new system required us to resubmit payment information. As a result our account was charged for double payments and resulted in an overdraft with our primary bank and an overdraft fee of {$35.00}. I 've had 3 conversations with the Money Source and they refuse to accept any responsibility for the lack of clarity in the change over to the new system. Why would we have to re-register if our information was already in the system? They assert that we had signed up for automatic withdrawal which is true, BUT the new system did not show any of that information at all. The emails they sent out encouraging everyone to re-register for the new system did not clarify that our banking and payment information was included at all ( see copy below ). Also, the new system does not include any history prior to 2016 so we ca n't access XXXX 's for prior years or any over documents prior to 2016. They stated it would take too much time for them to rescan documents into the system. What kind of service is this? 
And, it takes 3 1/2 minutes just to get through the customer service phone before you even can ask to speak to a real person. They deliberately discourage folks from speaking to a customer service agent by making the process unwieldy. So, with XXXX just two weeks away we are overdrafted by {$680.00}, unable to purchase food or gifts, and told that this is our fault and we do n't deserve to get reimbursed for the overdraft fee of {$35.00}. There also is no indication that the refund will be fast tracked. It all rides on the manager 's decision to approve the cutting of a new check to be processed and supposedly fed-exed.
