Product: Mortgage — VA mortgage
Issue: Trouble during payment process — Payment process
Company: Alabama Housing Finance Authority
State: NC

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/year> I made a payment of {$1500.00}. I expected all of that to go toward my mortgage. Instead, {$1100.00} was applied to my XXXX payment ( I was/am behind ) and the remaining {$390.00} was applied to " Recoverable Advances ''. When the recoverable advances on first appeared on my statement I called and was told it was attorney 's fees from when I filed bankruptcy. I was assured at that time and multiple times after that my payments go toward my mortgage, and I had to call and request or write when I wanted money applied toward the " Recoverable Advances ''. When I received a statement later this month ( XX/XX/year> ) I noticed that the money had been applied to the " Recoverable Advances '' I called and spoke to a representative and she told me that she would have it reapplied and placed in " Suspense '' I informed her that I would be making another payment shortly. On XX/XX/year> I made a payment of {$730.00}. The {$390.00} which was supposed to have been reapplied to suspense account and had it been combined with the {$730.00} would have paid for the month of XXXX XXXX. I logged onto my account and noticed my XXXX payment had not been applied as expected and XX/XX/year>, was still outstanding. I contacted the lender again and I was told that the {$390.00} was not corrected and they would not be able to correct it. I recorded the entire call. I plan on making another payment on XX/XX/year> for XX/XX/year> mortgage payment then I'll be caught up moving into XXXX, however they are making it difficult by not applying the payments. They are claiming that {$1500.00} is a partial payment, however when I login my screen reads " {$1100.00} Your monthly payment was due on XX/XX/year> ( 56 days ) '' so they were able to apply XXXX payment from the {$1500.00} but not put the remainder in escrow or suspense, or per their web page just issue a refund? Instead, they are saying that because I'm delinquent they can use my money however they want. Now when I make XXXX payment it's going to go toward XXXX. Now I have to come up with an additional {$390.00} because I still won't be caught up on XX/XX/year>. Why are they making this so difficult. It's bad enough that currently the only way I'm allowed to pay them is via XXXX XXXX which adds processing fees from XXXX XXXX. I want my payments applied correctly nowhere does it say that they can just apply payments however they choose if I'm delinquent. My mortgage isn't my only financial responsibility and I'm working my tail off to get it current. In other words, I don't have an additional {$390.00} Every penny counts, and I'd like to get caught up, so I don't keep incurring late fees. I'm falling behind on other bills getting this caught up.
