Product: Mortgage — Conventional home mortgage
Issue: Struggling to pay mortgage — 
Company: Fay Servicing, LLC
State: NJ

Complaint narrative:
In XX/XX/XXXX my XXXX XXXX mortgage was turned over to Fay Servicing. In the two years it took Fay Servicing to complete my paper work I was charged {$36000.00} in interest. That comes to {$1500.00} a month. My entire monthly payment was {$1600.00}. I want a monthly breakdown of this and where the calculation came from. What is a corporate advance? {$4000.00} I was charged for that. Also, want a breakdown of the escrow. When Fay completed an evaluation of the documents I submitted, the unpaid principal balance on your account was {$190000.00}, with {$36000.00} in interest, {$10000.00} in escrow advances, and {$4300.00} in corporate advances, for a total of {$240000.00}.

My case worker at Fay will not answer me. I have sent 4 emails and not one answer. Fay servicing still has not explained all the extra money they are stealing. And I want it resolved or it will become a court case. This is illegal to tack on all this money that I do not owe. 

I want the extra money taken off my balance and also the extra interest that I have been paying for the last year and a half. 

below is their answer to me. I asked questions and wanted an explanation back but my case was closed.
