Trouble during payment process

Mortgage: Conventional home mortgage

Complaint: The parties entered into a HAMP permanent loan modification agreement onXX/XX/XXXX, which expressly provided that the modified principal balance included all amounts, including escrows, that were past due. The loan documents confirm that any past due real estate taxes would be added to the mortgage loan balance. For reasons the servicer refuses to explain, theXX/XX/XXXX real estate taxes where not paid until XX/XX/XXXX The servicers untimely payment of the real estate taxes breached the terms of the loan modification agreement which required that all past due amounts be capitalized. This also caused an escrow shortage which caused my mortgage payment to rise to an unaffordable level. <P/>In an attempt to resolve this matter, the parties have engaged in extensive written correspondence as follows XX/XX/XXXX ( borrower )XX/XX/XXXX ( lender ) XX/XX/XXXX ( borrower ) XX/XX/XXXX ( lender )XX/XX/XXXX ( borrower ) XX/XX/XXXX ( lender ) XX/XX/XXXX ( borrower ) XX/XX/XXXX ( lender ) XX/XX/XXXX( borrower ) A copy of the correspondence is being uploaded.

Complaint: The company placed a forced insurance policy on our account which is incorrect, we have a in place insurance policy.

Trouble during payment process

Mortgage: Conventional home mortgage

Complaint: My trial loan modification was approved in XX/XX/XXXX with the first trial payment due XX/XX/XXXXand if completed satisfactorily by making 3 months ' payments on time, would convert to a permanent modification in XX/XX/XXXX. I completed all payments on time and have continued to make on-time payments however to date, I have not received my permanent modification agreement! As well, despite my on-time monthly payments, the servicer is continuing to negatively report delinquency on my credit. I have contacted the servicer repeatedly and get a different answer each time varying from, " we have not received investor approval as of yet on your modification agreement and are working on that '' to the most recent answer of " we are having an internal issue with our servicing system and are working to resolve this issue. '' Per regulation, they had 30 days to provide me my permanent modification agreement and it has been over 120 days. Please help as I am not getting any resolution from the servicer.

Trouble during payment process

Mortgage: Conventional home mortgage

Complaint: I bought a Mobile home on XX/XX/XXXX with a mortgage loan from Greentree. I have paid my loan every month since, always early or on time. ditech assumed the loan from my old mortgage company. I continued to pay early or on time. The loan is an 8 % simple interest loan so I pay the loan on the XXXX of the month instead of the XXXX of the month when it is due for a potential interest savings. I was even paying an extra {$200.00} a month towards principal for a while until ditech started posting payments wrong and I noticed a big fluctuation in the amount of payment that went to interest. Since XX/XX/XXXX, there has been a continually problem with posting my proper payment to my account. I repeatedly have to call to get it straightened out because they post it to the principal or interest and not the monthly payment. It takes repeated phone calls with assurances that it is fixed and then it happens again in a month or two. Since the problem is still happening in XX/XX/XXXX, I now write down when I call and who I talk to. I called XX/XX/XXXX and spoke to XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX and spoke to XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX and spoke to XXXX. I was assured the problem was fixed, notes made to the account and safeguards put in place that my payment would only be applied to the next due payment. This did not happen. I have been turned over to collections twice for overdue payments and receive a call today ( XX/XX/XXXX ) from XXXX notifying me they are a debt collector for ditech. That would be fine but I have never been even late on a payment, much less missed one. I pulled up my account on-line with ditech and see the payment they received on XX/XX/XXXX went entirely towards interest and they are showing no other received payments. The reality is the XX/XX/XXXX payment was for XX/XX/XXXX and should have been posted so. My XX/XX/XXXX payment went out on XX/XX/XXXX and they will receive it on or about XX/XX/XXXX. My interest rate in XX/XX/XXXX was {$150.00}, in XX/XX/XXXX it was {$440.00}, and in XX/XX/XXXX it was {$500.00}. These are the things I have called about and fought to get fixed. The interest rate is always dramatically different when it is a simple interest loan and I pay the same day of the month. Should n't it be close to the same amount each month? I have wasted countless hours on the phone straightening out this mess on a repeated basis and it just happens again. Customer service tells you it is fix but it never is and fight with you when you want to talk with a supervisor. No consumer should have to be subject to this type of treatment from a loan company, much less a customer that pays on time.

Closing on a mortgage

Mortgage: Conventional home mortgage

Complaint: The first request sent to obtain a Lien release from Ditech Financial was on XXXX XXXX. We have been trying to close escrow since last Thursday but we can not because the buyers lender requires a copy of the XXXX XXXX XXXX be completed and signed by Ditech before they will fund the buyers loan to close escrow. For each day they delay in getting this to us we are paying an additional days interest because we can not make payoff until buyers loan funds. Our Escrow company has been calling multiple times a day for the last 2 weeks trying to get this completed form, I myself have also called many times. Thursday I called twice, tried to escalate it to a supervisor in the lien department, they informed me that this department does not answer phones, I was informed it was escalated via email to a supervisor and that I should have resolution within 24 hours. This did not occur. Yesterday our Escrow company was informed that the original request which was sent on XXXX XXXX was made on an incorrect form, why was our Escrow company not informed that the paperwork they received was incorrect? Our Escrow company resent the correct paperwork yesterday, and called this morning ( XXXX ), they were informed that it takes 3 days for the Fax to get into their system?? The Escrow agent that initiated the request was told by one agent at Ditech that the Lien department was 6 weeks behind! I have attached the documents sent to Ditech from XXXX/XXXX/XXXX through yesterday XXXX/XXXX/XXXX. These contain emails and faxes to a multitude of people that I was told to send my requests to and these include the Lien Release Department, supervisors and customer service people. We can not close escrow or transfer the mobile home title without this document that it is a requirement of the State of California Department of Housing and Community Development and that every other mobile home lender gets these to our escrow company within a couple days of the request.

Trouble during payment process

Mortgage: Conventional home mortgage

Complaint: I had a XXXX XXXX that I believed to be paid off as I was issued a Release of Lien in XX/XX/XXXX. When XXXX failed the mortgage accounts were absorbed by XXXX XXXX XXXX where it remained for several years. When XXXX XXXX XXXX got trouble around XX/XX/XXXX trouble the account eventually went on to Ditech Financial or Greentree as it was known then. When I was contacted by Greentree/Ditech They demanded I start making monthly mortgage payments as they were taking over for XXXX XXXX XXXX. I alerted them to the fact I had a release of lien and should not be making payments, I received no response, I started making mortgage payments in good faith and was current on these payments while hoping the problem would be found which it never was. <P/>I felt an obligation to as Greentree/Ditech had paid the property taxes even though I was supposed to pay them. The monthly payments started at {$300.00} a month and quickly climbed to close to {$700.00} a month, making for a financial hardship. I became delinquent in payments around XX/XX/XXXX while waiting during the investigation. I was offered a loan modification in XX/XX/XXXX ( although I never asked for one ) and received notification stating the payments were received and the modification had kicked in. Two weeks later they attempted to foreclose and denied offering any modification and stated no payments were received, Greentree/Ditech was unresponsive when copies of the payments were submitted along with the letter approving the modification which was not honored. <P/>There are over 15 written enquires which I initiated regarding the situation, all of which were answered by a letter of investigation, which was never followed up. Several of the responses, did not make any sense or relate to the questions I asked. Despite having a Lien Release Ditech continued it 's collection efforts, I was forced into Bankruptcy in XX/XX/XXXX efforts to save the property. They attempted foreclosure on 3 separate instances. It has been discovered in the course of bankruptcy that various documents Ditech produced were forgeries and fraudulent in nature, there was no response by them when they were noticed of this by them or their attorneys. Country property records do not show any tie between Ditech and the property in question. There are hundreds of pages of records documenting the information provided above and will be provided upon your request. Ditech was the subject of a XXXX XXXX dollar Class Action Lawsuit several years back for these same transgressions.

Trouble during payment process

Mortgage: VA mortgage

Complaint: XXXX Per your response : According to Ditech records correspondence was mailed to your attention dated XX/XX/XXXX informing you that the servicing of your mortgage loan would be transferred to XXXX XXXX effective XX/XX/XXXX. Specifically Ditech stated that payments would not be accepted from you after XX/XX/XXXX. However, I never received such correspondence. I receive virtually nothing via US mail. Often I do not even clear my roadside mailbox for weeks without a request from the postman. What I would like to know from you is how much NOTICE is required/appropriate to provide a customer before such significant changes are made? Further you responded : Ditech received an email inquiry from you on XX/XX/XXXXstating that you tried to make a payment online and discovered that your account had been closed. Ditech responded to your inquiry on XX/XX/XXXX, explaining again that your account was sold to XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX. This is indeed true. In this particular month I was experiencing issues with my automatic BillPayer service and planned to pay online. Since I experienced problems I was force to manually send a check. I stated in said email that the account indicated it was closed. Knowing my loan had not been forgiven I merely assumed the site was mess-up. As to any XX/XX/XXXX mailing please see my earlier response. Additionally, I was at my PA home by XX/XX/XXXXthru XX/XX/XXXX and please note that Ditech doesnt claim to have responded to my email, with an email. Or by phone contact for that matter. My check was cashed by Ditech so no further thought was given to your site problem. As for the balance of your reply you are incorrect. Ditech received monthly payments thru XX/XX/XXXX. All except XX/XX/XXXX ( check ) were electrically sent by my BillPayer system and accepted by Ditech, per my provider. With regard to any checks you plan to send, do not send them to me. Send them to XXXX XXXX, the rightful owner. Ive reported this nonsense to the VA in the hopes they will discontinue the use of such flawed providers.

Struggling to pay mortgage

Mortgage: Conventional home mortgage

Complaint: My mortgage on my home in the state of Illinois was discharged via Chapter XXXX, the lender at the time was XXXX XXXX XXXX. I never reaffirmed the home, I have received a loan modification, XXXX to be exact but NEVER reaffirmed or refinanced the mortgage loan. On my credit report is has always showed a closed real estate account with a XXXX balance due to the debt being discharged in the bankruptcy. My husband and I divorced, I managethe home as a rental property, the mortgage is not current due to a problem paying tenant. the home mortgage has been sold to Ditech Financial in recent months, they have began reporting this on my credit report and I have not refinanced or reaffirmed the mortgage with them either so how is this possible? This is truly damaging my credit and I would like it removed. I tried to get a modification through DITECH and was denied, I asked for a repayment plan but what they offered was ridiculous for my situation, they asked for {$1000.00} a month in addition to the current mortgage and so I am in the process of either doing a short sale, deed in lieu or simply walking away. Since technically I am not liable for this debt any longer as a result of the CHAPTER XXXX, this should not be reporting on my credit.
