Complaint narrative:
I am delinquent on my mortgage payments with TD Bank. I have applied for a loan modification which was approved. My loan payments were in the vincinity of XXXX per month and the modification bought it down to XXXX. I was very happy knowing that I was in the process of a divorce, severely limited in my finances and knew that the new payment would allow me to keep up to date on the mortgage. NO WHERE in the papers that were notarized and signed was a mention of any other amount other than the {$910.00}. I showed the papers to my divorce attorney, my close friends ... .everyone said that they only can see that TD Bank has approved XXXX. I sent the paperwork and waited for the check to clear for about a week. No check and no message from TD so I called and spoke to the person named on the form, XXXX XXXX. She told me that - no, my check was n't received, nor were the papers that were notarized and furthermore, my XXXX check was n't enough. My payment was actually higher - I do n't remember the exact amount but it was approximately {$1400.00}. When I complained and said the paperwork states a different amount she told me that there is escrow to be paid. I told her that no one told me the amount would be more and that there is a paragraph in their paperwork that states the amount of {$910.00} would be my monthly payment for the life of the loan. Her answer to me was that the amount was reduced from the original and I should be happy with that. What XXXX XXXX does n't realize is that {$500.00} more a month is not what I can pay. I called the following day and spoke to another rep, XXXX XXXX who was not only helpful but compassionate. He saw that the check was deposited and the paperwork received - the previous week. He looked through the paperwork and said he thought it was odd that I was told XXXX but the paperwork states XXXX. He told me to wait a week and possibly the correct info would be updated in their system. I called a week later and spoke to XXXX. She told me that the did see the higher amount and that all she can offer is for me to send a letter to the escrow department asked for the money to be spread out over a certain amount of months. I told her that first of all - no one contacted me from TD to tell me about this new amount and I am hesitant to sign anything further because this is fraudulent business practice. We get lured in with XXXX amount and then the next day ... oops, wrong amount ... it 's really higher. This is ridiculous! How can this bank do this to customers who are already in a vulnerable position and TD takes advantage knowing they are uninformed and worried about losing everything they own. And then to have their employees not have the answers to give to customers. I asked XXXX if this is their practice - to not disclose the correct amount and she told me she did n't know that answer. Somebody in TD has to be made accountable for misleading consumers in this way.
