I asked XXXX how to do this - she said just write "I reaffirm my loan" on a piece of paper and fax it to you - she got this from the Bankruptcy Department (see string of e-mails below) - when I talked to XXXX I was returning call from Carrington - but, it must not have been noted. They are still calling and leaving messages - it's Saturday XX/XX/XXXX and I can't return call until Monday. My main concern is that the payment I made on Wednesday XX/XX/XXXX has not posted to my account and there was "other" regarding Escrow in the tally - when I went to pay my loan - XXXX said don't worry about it - it would go to $XXXX in XX/XX/XXXX.

She said there were system problems - which I noticed this past month - on XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX. She re-input my payment information - and gave me the confirmation number of XXXX. I did ask - "would this affect other customers - who may be getting "close" to getting a late fee?" This could affect their payment history with Credit Unions also. She is checking into this. So as of XX/XX/XXXX - Carrington System Issues - Carrington registered my payment in their system - but, money did not come out of my Checking account. I had to call Carrington after keeping a check on my Checking account and seeing that the monies were not taken out of my account????? I should have been NOTIFIED by Carrington at least by XX/XX/XXXX THAT MONIES WERE NOT RECEIVED FROM MY CHECKING ACCOUNT. XXXX  payment - (see Customer Service Problems below) Paid - XX/XX/XXXX7 - $XXXX - Confirmation # XXXX via XXXX XXXX - Supervisor.

NO!!!! _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Sent to NC Attorney General: Carrington Mortgage Insurance loan payment was made on XX/XX/XXXX. It has yet to clear my checking account - XX/XX/XXXX - so, if it doesn't show up tomorrow, I'll have to pay a late fee. Today, XX/XX/XXXX, I spoke to XXXX at XXXX - she put me on indefinite hold. She was checking to see if correct account was input (checking/debit). I called XXXX at XXXX - Resolve Complex Issues - he wasn't able to see on do anything on his end - and, he had a very arrogant attitude. I did let him know that the Carrington phone system - creates a situation where you never speak to anyone - and, I was put on indefinite Hold previously - and, if he is suppose to resolve complex issues - he should be able to "see" "something" in the system. Help!!!!! I don't want a late fee. But, they haven't taken their payment out of my Checking account and haven't let me know of any problems re: my payment. On the XXXX   website - it does show that I have "paid" the payment for XX/XX/XXXX - but, the monies have not been taken out of my bank account. The website was "screwy" this past month. Thank you.
