Consumer Complaint: I had a tax refund for an over payment of taxes as I was approved for a XXXX exemption for tax year 2017 forward. I requested the mortgage company to provide a letter to allow the refund to come to me directly. They declined to provide even though they are withholding the maximum amount per law according to my calculations. I have called the loan service provider and submitted multiple requests in writing to provide the refund. The loan provider is now holding my refund in escrow and I have been told that I I will not receive a refund as I have not paid yet for this months mortgage. I believe the company is in violation of the law regarding the maximum escrow withholding. I also think their policy to not allow a refund of this nature to go directly to the mortgagee will many times result in a violation of the law in this area. I am only 13 days behind on this loan, it is unacceptable that I was told I would not be refunded monies owed to me because i was not current.

Consumer Complaint: Payment Errors : I made 4 payments to XXXX XXXX, XXXX. c/o LoanCare , LLC in XXXX and XX/XX/2019. XXXX credited the first 3 payments on the dates received, then reversed the payments on XXXX and credit the third payment as the only payment made before selling the mortgage. The payments have now been credited to my account, but I can not get them credited to the correct dates -- costing me hundreds in interest. I spoke to both XXXX and the new lender ( XXXX ) who incorrectly told me dates don't matter, and that I would never get the dates changed. I sent both servicers certified letters documenting my payments. XXXX did not reply to my written complaint and XXXX replied, but said they don't see any problems. 1 ) On XX/XX/XXXX I paid XXXX XXXX, XXXX. c/o LoanCare , LLC the amount of {$42000.00}, which should have been credited to principal. This payment was initiated directly from the XXXX mortgage website ( XXXX XXXX XXXX ). This payment was not credited to my account until XX/XX/XXXX. 2 ) On XX/XX/XXXX I paid XXXX XXXX, XXXX. c/o LoanCare , LLC the amount of {$27000.00}, which should have been credited to principal. This payment was initiated directly from the XXXX mortgage website ( XXXX XXXX XXXX ). This payment was not credited to my account until XX/XX/XXXX. 3 ) On XX/XX/XXXX I paid XXXX XXXX, XXXX. c/o LoanCare , LLC the amount of {$1900.00}, which should have been credited as a normal payment. A check was mailed to XXXX XXXX, XXXX. from my credit union. This payment was not credited to my account until XX/XX/XXXX. 4 ) On XX/XX/XXXX I paid XXXX XXXX, XXXX. c/o LoanCare , LLC the amount of {$1000.00}, which should have been credited to principal. A check was mailed to XXXX XXXX, XXXX. from my credit union. This payment was not credited to my account until XX/XX/XXXX. Failure to provide accurate information regarding mortgage servicing transfers : XXXX XXXX, XXXX. c/o LoanCare , LLC failed to tell me that my loan was being transferred to XXXX prior to the transfer. When I called XXXX XXXX, XXXX. c/o LoanCare , LLC on XX/XX/XXXX, I was told that XXXX received my loan on XX/XX/XXXX and XXXX staff told me they could no longer help me, because I wasn't their customer. After I complained via phone to both companies, I received a letter from XXXX dated XX/XX/XXXX ( the date I called ) letting me know that they would be taking over my loan on XX/XX/XXXX. Both companies told me it was my responsibility to work with the other company to resolve my payment errors, even though by law they're supposed to work together to correctly credit payments made during the transition period. I have attached the letter I sent to both companies in XXXX.

Consumer Complaint: Hello- Last year I was struggling financially. In XX/XX/2018 I applied for a mortgage modification. In XX/XX/2018 I received a letter from an attorney stating that my home was in foreclosure process. NOT THAT IT WAS IN FORECLOSURE but that the process had started and that was my notification of what was happening. I was very confused because the mortgage modification was supposed to help me. I wrote the attorney and asked for an explanation and disputed the debt because of the modification. They responded and said that the file was " on hold '' due to the modification process. Fast forward a few months and I made my trial payments on time. I get approved for the final modification but the attorney is saying the Mortgage company told them to keep the file open. The file is not closed but rather open and I am being reported as foreclosure to the credit bureaus. ( See Attachment from XXXX ) XXXX is reporting me as having a foreclosure. The FACT is that I NEVER went to the FORECLOSURE process. I tried to fix my situation before it got to that point. I am not disputing I had trouble paying my mortagage but I tried to remedy the situation and I am being penalized. I was told by a Loancare representative XXXX XXXX that once the modification went through the loan would be reporting as current and that it would never say foreclosure. I was also told that it might even erase some of the late payments dating back to when I started making the trial payments. I never was scheduled for a sheriff 's sale or even given a date. Attachements are letter from attorney and XXXX letter declining me from a business credit card. As an AMerican who is a XXXX I want to be given a fair shot and I think that this is a violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act.

Consumer Complaint: XX/XX/2019 XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, CA XXXX Loan number : XXXX Hello, I'm filing this complaint, against LoanCare, as I have been unable to move my request for a loan modification foreword in any manner whatsoever. My first attempt to resolve my foreclosure began in XXXX of 2019. I submitted all required documentation and nothing happened. LoanCare simply let that modification request lapse. My second attempt to resolve this matter with them began on XX/XX/XXXX and submitted ALL required documents, for review on XX/XX/XXXX. I WAS able to confirm that the documents were uploaded on XX/XX/XXXX, but they were unclear as to which documents were actually recieved/missing. Since then, I have not been able to get a straight answer from them on any question that I have, whatsoever. I have contacted them over a dozen times in the last 30 days - all to no avail. I need your assistance in getting them to formally engage me and conduct a thorough and legal review of my request for modification. My ex caused a very serious financial issue with me, which is my reason for falling behind in the first place. That issue has been resolved, I have more than enough income to support returning to making my payments and I'm simply trying to do the right thing. Please assist! Thank you so much..

Consumer Complaint: on XX/XX/2019 I made an online payment from XXXX XXXX bank to MyLoanCare. The records online showed that the payment went through, however I found out on XX/XX/XXXX that the payment did not go through. I transferred some other funds XXXX XXXX to another mortgage because I thought that the payment for MyLoancare had already gone through. However since the funds were below by {$50.00} the payment had not gone through. I spoke to them on XX/XX/XXXX to see if there were any issues and I was not told about the NSF ( insufficient funds fee ) but then on XX/XX/XXXX I see there was a {$25.00} fee charged. I politely asked to see if this fee can be reversed as I was paying additional amount and that I had not been behind on my payments ever. However I was told that they would not reverse this charge. I politely asked to speak to a supervisor and they said the supervisor will also say no and I never got to speak to supervisor. I was just told the answer is no. I dont feel that I should be charged {$25.00} dollars because of a bank error in regards to transfer of funds. The online payment system for Myloancare is never updated and it kept showing that the funds had transferred and the site was never updated until XX/XX/XXXX. I had even called to see if there were any issues with the payment and I was told that they payment had gone through. Because of their misinformation the insufficient funds issue arose. However I have to bear the fees, the amount is small but I am more upset with the way they treat a customer that has always paid on time and that they do not take responsibility for their mistakes and failure to update their website and account information shown on their website when I log in to my account.

Consumer Complaint: I have two mortgage loans that were transferred to Loancare from XXXX earlier in 2019. Since then, I get a statement for one account but not the other and I have struggled with their online system because I can only access one account there. I paid my XXXX payments by sending two checks together in an envelope along with clear directions on how I wanted the payments applied to two accounts. One check was applied and the other was not. The unapplied payment pertained to the only account I can access online and I saw that I did not get credit for the check. So to avoid further charges against me, and assuming they threw the check away with the envelope, I made another payment online. I was charged {$5.00} because it was considered late. When my XXXX bank statement arrived, I found that the missing check was indeed cashed and I did not get credit on my account. So I made two XXXX payments for that account, one check and one online. I want the extra payment to be applied as my XXXX payment and also receive a refund for the {$29.00} charged to me for fees, {$24.00} for trying to pay by automated phone system and {$5.00} for them not crediting my account. I did speak with someone in their internet help department and she said she fixed the issue of not being able to view the second account online. It is not fixed. I can see the second account number on the drop down menu, but the account information will not open. Also, I have received two calls from unidentified numbers with messages to c all Loancare about my account. One was from Hawaii and when I called, the number was disconnected. Somehow, my information seems to be in the hands of phone scammers now. I did e-mail a copy of the cancelled check to Loancare, but given the numerous complaints concerning them, I am not confident that my problem will be addressed without government assistance.

Consumer Complaint: Loan was transferred from XXXX XXXX to LoanCare , LLC effective XX/XX/19. This was all well-communicated in advance by XXXX. I had already received a monthly statement from XXXX XXXX. I was unable to pay XXXX since they were no longer servicing the loan. There were issues, however trying to understand my obligations and pay LoanCare in a timely manner. First and foremost, I NEVER RECEIVED A XXXX STATEMENT from LoanCare or their subsidiary. I eventually figured out that I needed to pay them for XXXX when I tried to set up auto-draft on XX/XX/19 ( the first day that this was possible per their system ) and it told me I could not do this until I was less than 4 days in arrears on payment. How can they tell me I am behind when I never received a statement from them??? I paid on XX/XX/19 by telephone and then called them on XX/XX/19 to ask for a XXXX statement. I wanted this as documentation that I was supposed to pay them and for proper record-keeping. Their customer service could not provide it. They said I am to use the XXXX XXXX statement as my documentation. I responded that this makes no sense since I am paying LoanCare - not XXXX. They apologized and said they had no way to send me a XXXX statement. I then asked for an email as documentation and was told I would need to speak to a supervisor. I got a supervisor who then acted like she could not hear me and she hung up. Again : How can they expect to be paid if they didn't send out statements? I paid mine, but how many other people will miss their deadline because they never got a statement? Also, I do not know the terms of the transfer between companies. How do I even know if I really was supposed to pay for XXXX? Of course, I paid just in case because I figured it out, but their entire process of expecting payment without sending a statement just is not right.

Consumer Complaint: I XXXX XXXX XXXX would like to formally complain about my mortgage servicer XXXX. I submitted my complete application for mortgage assistance about 2 months. I keep following up and I speak to many people seems that no one knows whats going on. They've been give me the run around transferring me all over the place. Finally today, they told me theres no time to review and that I hand a sale date set for XX/XX/2019. As you can see, I've been bounced around given wrong information not just by rep but by managers. They admitted to handling wrong our case and that he was sorry but that my house will go for sale on XX/XX/2019. I explain that I have a family and that we are going to be in the street and my mother is very Ill to be move suddenly but he did not show any sympathy towards my situation. I stated to him that I do not want to lose my home that's all we have and that I will be thrown out with my family and no place to stay he he did not care I felt very discriminated at that point. I don't understand why they would ignore my application all this time and they waited to get close to a sale date to tell me they didn't review my application. I ask why is he treating us like that I don't deserve to be treated fair like everyone else its clear to me that you are discriminating me he disconnected the call and left me with words on my mouth. They are not even allowing me to appeal. All I'm asking is a fair review and for my sale date be postponed so they can get a chance to review my package and review my current situation with and to stop discriminating me. If this does not go anywhere I am going to seek legal advice to see if I can sue my mortgage company. I give permission to Consumer Financial protection Bureau to speak on my behalf and get to the bottom of this I am scare to call on my own mortgage servicer.Please, help me I do not want to be thrown out on the street with my family. Yours truly, XXXX XXXX XXXX

Consumer Complaint: Until recently I had my Mortgage loan with.XXXX XXXX XXXX. My loan was sold to Loan care. XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, VA XXXX. ( XXXX. So as of XXXX my new payment would be going to the new company. My loan is due on the XXXX of every month. I noticed that no withdrawals had been made. On XX/XX/XXXX. XXXX I contacted loan care and asked if they had automatic deductions set up. For my account since my loan was rolled over and had auto deductions set up previously with XXXX XXXX XXXX They stated they did not. So I made a payment over the phone. Setting up the auto deduction with loan care representative. When I checked my account I noticed two transactions were processed For {$2600.00} the auto deduction and the phone payment made. I have been calling and submitting statements since XX/XX/XXXX, I have been getting the run around. I received an email that the bank statement I submitted was not sufficient, the next day on contacted them. I was placed on hold for over 45 minutes. When I asked specific instructions on what they requested I also got different responses. On XX/XX/XXXX I received another email that they could not read the statement from the bank with its name and address clearly showing. So, that afternoon I went to my bank and got a signed letter head clearly showing everything they requested. Along with the two transactions that were processed. On XX/XX/XXXX I called to check on the status and they stated that they could not read the copy from the bank, but the letter from the bank was ok. I advised supervisor that I had multiple copies Showing clearly the type transactions. She advised that this would be sufficient. I have been waiting for my money to be refunded to my account but nothing. So I called on the XX/XX/XXXX. Meanwhile I have not received nothing via email that anything was needed. So when I called XX/XX/XXXX I asked to speak to Supervisor and she advised that I would have to call on Monday XX/XX/XXXX to get my tracking number. I thought that was strange. Because I know you receive that via email so I called XX/XX/XXXX speak with another representative and she tells me that have to provide another statement from my bank to show it was CLEARED. That is ridiculous it was not a check. It was taken from the company directly. XX/XX/XXXX I re- submitted another statement showing All of the information with the two double Mortgage withdrawals. I am very frustrated I hope that this can be resolved soon. They asked on XX/XX/XXXX XX/XX/XXXX

Consumer Complaint: My loan servicing was transferred from XXXX to XXXX XXXX. It was supposed to be effective XX/XX/2019. There is a regular payment and two additional principal payments I made to XXXX that were not reflected in the balance XXXX XXXX stated I owed. Specifically, the balance XXXX says was transferred was {$460000.00} and the balance XXXX XXXX said I owed in the first statement received from them was {$470000.00}. The balance of {$470000.00} was the principal balance of my loan with XXXX after I made the regular payment to XXXX on XX/XX/2019. I made an additional principal payment on XX/XX/2019 of {$310.00} to XXXX. I also made another regular payment to XXXX of {$2200.00} along with an additional principal payment to XXXX of {$310.00} on XX/XX/2019. The amount of {$2900.00} is essentially missing. I have sent a detailed letter to both companies and had numerous phone calls with both companies. Both companies deny any error. This entire issue appears to possibly be caused by XXXX XXXX 's records reflecting my loan was transferred to XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/2019 instead of XX/XX/2019.
