Complaint: Absolute nightmare to deal with it. Waited on hold for sometimes 30 mins for what I viewed as simple questions. Once a representative would pick up I would proceed with my question, if they did not know the answer they would simply hang up the phone and I would need to spend another 30 minutes to get a hold of someone. If the rep did not hang up on me I was usually provided in accurate information. Without question the worst company I have ever dealt with. Luckily I have closed out my loan and after an hour and half of attempting to verify the address where the tax documents would be sent, ( after 3 unsuccessful attempts ) I hope I never have to contact them again.

Complaint: I made my XXXX mortgage payment early in XXXX. The mortgage company 's website said my next payment was due in XXXX and showed the next automatic debit scheduled for XXXX XXXX. On XXXX XXXX the mortgage company debited my account. I called Customer Service on XXXX XXXX in the afternoon and requested a refund -- I then emailed Customer Service requesting the refund with a screen print of my bank account showing their debit. I was told that a refund would take XXXX business days. On XXXX XXXX ( 2 weeks later ) I called Customer Service again. No action had been taken regarding my refund! Customer Service said they would speak to management and expedite the refund. On XXXX XXXX ( 1 week later ) I called Customer Service again. They said a paper check had been put in the mail on XXXX XXXX, and I should expect it within 5-7 business days. My Problems : 1 ) The website is not accurate and customer service is not aware of it. 2 ) Customer Service was unresponsive for 2 weeks on the refund. 3 ) Zero communication from the mortgage company about the refund. 4 ) Refund is not in-kind -- they took my money by direct debit, but then refund by check which will take 5-7 business days to arrive and then multiple days to clear my bank account. Meanwhile my next payment is due in 4 business days.

Complaint: My mortgage loan was purchased by LoanCare XXXX two months ago. Since I have received poor customer service from this company, and now my monthly mortgage rate just went up by $ XXXX/month. I called and the customer service representative could not even start to explain or understand why my monthly payment went up by {$55.00}. I was much happier with XXXX Bank before they sold my loan. Everything I have read online about LoanCare says they are not a good company.

Complaint: My mortgage loan was transferred from XXXX. to Loancare at the end of XXXX. I received a statement on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX for payment due XXXX/XXXX/XXXX, of which I paid immediately. I NEVER received a statement/bill in XXXX for XXXX payment. I called on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX to inquire as to why a statement had not been sent for a bill due in a week. She claimed it was due to the weather! I decided to pay the bill online and the ONLY statement on the website was the XXXX/XXXX/XXXX statement. When I called Loancare back to let them know the website statement was not current nor up to date, I was placed on hold for 25 minutes which went past hours of operation and so my concerns were never heard. This level of incompetency for a company in charge of mortgages and tax payments is completely unacceptable.

It is evident that there is serious break-down within your office communication ... ... ..

Mortgage: Conventional fixed mortgage

Complaint: My home mortgage loan was recently sold to a company called Loancare out of XXXX, Virginia. The first thing they did when they acquired my loan was to increase the amount being held in escrow from the contracted XXXX of the total charges to an amount that is equivalent to XXXX of the total charges. Over the last month, I have repeatedly tried to get them to correct it via phone and e-mail, but they continue to ignore my requests. My total estimated escrow payments for the year 2016 are {$9300.00}. They want to hold {$3100.00} in escrow which is exactly XXXX. The original amount without the increase would have been {$2200.00} which is still over the contracted amount even without the increase.

Complaint: My loan was recently sold to Loancare which is the worst company I have ever come across. Before we even received this so called welcome packet from the company I was incessantly harassed by automated phone calls demanding payment. Then after we received the packet and sent the initial payment I was still receiving calls from them and the began receiving letters telling me my loan was in default all the while having been paid up. The conduct of this company has been totally unprofessional and can only be characteried by harassment.

Mortgage: FHA mortgage

Complaint: I am writing to inform you of the difficulty I have endured by refinancing with XXXX XXXX, who was seized by the Federal govt in XXXX. I refinanced on XXXX XXXX, XXXX with XXXX XXXX. They were shut down in XXXX XXXX by the Federal govt. My mortgage was transferred to Loan Care Servicing in Virginia. I have been asking for a copy of my title insurance since XXXX, which over {$3500.00} was included in my contract. I 've found monetary discrepancies & fallacies in my mortgage contract along with exorbitant charges through having a Forensic Audit done. The mortgage contract claims to be a fixed rate but in actuality is a variable rate. This is supposed to be an FHA loan but I can find no record of it. I 've contacted the Title agency, and the lawyer of record, XXXX XXXX, XXXX. but neither to date has responded to me. I truly believe there was not ever an insurance title, and the charges stated in the mortgage are fraudulent. We have been requesting that the servicer do a restructuring of the loan, especially when my spouse faced hardship in XXXX when he was laid off. A Forbearance was granted for 6 mos, after that, they requested all monies totaling {$15000.00}, they claimed was owed, even though they told us if we met the Forbearance, they would grant a modification. We are not trying to get a free ride but want someone to address what we feel is fraud. We have recently received letters not only from Loan Care, saying they own the Note, but also from XXXX XXXX, who says they own the Note from Loan Care. We have checked our county records and find that many illegal assignments have been recorded in the XXXX XXXX clerks office. Also, new title insurance policies have been issued in the state of Virginia and in the state of XXXX, TX. The loan number has been changed on three occasions throughout the the loan. We 've tried to seek justice by hiring at least XXXX law firms but we were simply taken for a ride and our money. We were reimbursed a portion by the Federal Trade Commission. Now, even though we have recently spoken to XXXX XXXX, who claims they hold the Note, we 've received a Notice of Acquisition from the XXXX Law firm representing Loan Care, saying we are in foreclosure and threaten to hand over the Title ( what title?! ) to HUD, who will in turn hand it over to Loan Care. We pray you will investigate this matter of fraudulent and unscrupulous acts from taking place and preventing these entities from unlawfully seizing our property without legal assignment of Note, Principal disclosed, issuance of our Homeowner 's Title policy in mortgage, and explanation of exorbitant charges in mortgage.

Mortgage: Conventional fixed mortgage

Complaint: Loan Care acquired the servicing on my loan in XX/XX/XXXX. To date, I have been unable to access my account online to set up monthly auto pays. I have called several times only to be told the website is down. I have had to complain vigorously for them to take a phone payment from me AND ALSO waive their phone payment fee of {$15.00} and the fee for paying after the 4th business day after the XXXX of the month. Tonight, When calling again to inquire about their website issues, I was told the site is not down but that Loan Care 's site is not compatible with APPLE/Safari. Nowhere on their statements or web site does it give this warning. I am again after the 4th business day and have had to argue about their attempt to charge me to process on-line and auto draft payments from my savings account. Their fees escalate even higher on the XXXX day. This is a de facto late charge being assessed and does not agree with my note which states payments due on the XXXX and can not be considered late until after the XXXX. I have never been charged by a mortgage servicer for a payment process that is lower in cost and more efficient than mailing checks which is apparently what they want me to do to avoid their inappropriate late fee assessment. I respectfully request CFPB to instruct the servicer they can not charge me fees for " on time '' payments. The web site issue is another sneaky way for them to catch an unwitting consumer in their process which all seems designed to funnel borrowers into paying additional fees to make on time payments, probably to make up for lost float on payments coming in after the XXXX of the month. That 's probably why they increase after the XXXX day but still before the XXXX day when a late charge is legitimate and permissible per the note ). This is the worst mortgage loan servicer I have encountered in over 30 years and multiple mortgages! Check the online complaint logs ... they are horrible, broadly speaking!

Complaint: I received an escrow analysis from my mortgage servicer Loancare on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX. There was a check for {$170.00} for overpayment to escrow. Then I notice, they raised my payment by almost {$100.00} per month for an anticipated escrow shortage for XXXX. Looking closely at the analysis, I saw a gross miscalculation on what my next years taxes would be which is why they were raising the payment. I checked with XXXX to assess what the taxes would be and was correct that Loancare made a gross error. I called Loancare immediately and sent concern via email. Email went unanswered. The agent I spoke to could see the error and requested a new escrow analysis. 2 weeks later I received a statement still indicating the wrong payment amount and no info on the new analysis. I called again and was told the new escrow analysis would not be complete till XXXX XXXX. I expressed concern about my XXXX payment. I was assured it would be done in time. Checking account on XXXX XXXX showed no change. I did send a payment of {$1200.00} which was less than the statement, but more than what I should have been charged to cover escrow and called again ( XXXX XXXX ) I was assured they knew of the error and they were working to correct. Today, they show receipt of my payment, they took PMI ( which I 've asked to be removed since my loan to value warrants, but they say they can keep charging for the first 12 years of the 15 year loan ) but have not applied the rest to my account. Now I 'm afraid my credit rating will be damaged because of their error and their lack of attention in getting resolved in timely fashion. Tried to call today to check status and was on hold for 20 mins. Gave up. They are already holding way more of my money in escrow than allowed by law, and now endangering my good credit rating by not applying the payment I made. I am in progress of refinance to get away from them. But you should know, this company seems to have some very dirty practices in taking and holding customers money. 2 months to resolve an issue like this with as many calls as I 've made to them is incomprehensible. They do not respond to requests and issues made in writing either. Even if you ca n't help me, LoanCare 's practices and customer treatment should be looked at. I would bet I 'm not the only XXXX they 've done this to. Feel free to contact me if you need more info. XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX

Complaint: Mortgage was sold by XXXX to Loancare. Received letter from Loancare dated XXXX/XXXX/XXXX ( I did n't open until XXXX/XXXX/XXXX ) informing me that the loan was transferred and to make payment to Loancare. Attempted all day that day to get on Loancare web site to make payment. It allowed me to create an account but would n't allow me to enter my account. Next day XXXX XXXX/XXXX/XXXX XXXX tried again unsuccessfully to get into web site. Called customer service number. Unable to reach a human being. Entered all information computer asked for : they had no record of our loan number, social security number or zip code. Mailed a letter to Loancare, XXXX. XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX, VA XXXX, via certified mail return receipt requested informing of situation and requesting response. Received return receipt XXXX/XXXX/XXXX. To date have not received a response to the letter. XXXX XXXX received XXXX letters from Loancare, XXXX dated XXXX and XXXX dated XXXX telling me that my loan payments were late and they were going to start collections, etc. Went online that day ( XXXX/XXXX/XXXX ) and this time the website allowed me in to my account and allowed me to make an online payment which I did at XXXX which consisted of two months ' payments plus my usual extra principal of $ XXXX/mo for a total payment of {$2700.00}. Attempted to register at that time for auto draft, but got message that late payment had to clear before registering for auto draft. Went back online on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX and successfully ( or so I thought ) registered for auto draft. Set up draft effective XXXX/XXXX/XXXX with a draft date delay of 4 days so that the payment should have been drafted XXXX/XXXX/XXXX. Fortunately I made an entry in my calendar to check to see whether the mortgage was drafted. Checked today ( XXXX/XXXX/XXXX ) and sure enough, the payment has not cleared my checking account. Signed into Loancare 's web site and see that they have not taken the payment. Made a one-time payment online of the regular monthly amount plus extra principal.

Complaint: I began to refinance with my current mortgage co and during the process our mortgage was bought by LoanCare. I paid the first payment to them when due and since the refi co was waiting for payoff letter I contacted LoanCare and they said they did n't have the payment yet and therefore could n't get an accurate payoff. My bank verified they sent payment and after being told by customer service at LoanCare that I should pay another way so I am not late, I did so over the phone with them and put a stop payment on the bank check. I stated to Loancare that I did a stop payment and to please note the acct as such. 2 days later I received a receipt stating they got the check and applied the funds. I called and told them that was not supposed to be an they said to not worry since the money would end up not being applied after the fact since I paid XX/XX/XXXX due. Well Loancare sent the payoff with the extra funds in the amount without anyone knowing this and we went to closing and finalized everything with funds being funded from mortgage co to Loancare XX/XX/XXXX. Loancare stated that I owe XX/XX/XXXX funds as well as the FHA regulator interest for XX/XX/XXXX now, {$880.00} on top of the mortgage! I stated that the funds went through XX/XX/XXXX and they said it was after XXXX therefore they had to add on the other money due to holiday and not processing until XX/XX/XXXX!!! Every call into customer service was terrible and left me in tears. They were beyond rude and completely arrogant in their responses. The timing from start to finish on how they handle money is beyond unacceptable and I cant imagine if they were my mortgage company for good! Considering they lost a check for 2 weeks, then applied is after I paid over the phone and then took the payoff amount 5 days to process that in turn leaving us to owe money that we do n't have! Terrible and sad that this is okay in the work of money, as well as the customer service dept being beyond terrible and barley able to understand what half of them are saying. SAD!
