Trouble during payment process
Mortgage: Conventional home mortgage
Complaint: Specialized Loan Servicing : loan number XXXX. The above named company has assumed my loan since XX/XX/XXXX. They sent me a mortgage bill for {$5800.00} when my previous mortgage was {$1300.00}. However, I was paying {$1500.00} before to XXXX XXXX before my loan got sold to them. When I attempted to make a payment after speaking with them, they would not accept it unless I was going to pay {$5800.00}. I made several attempts to do so and the same response again. When asked about the reason for the increase, I am told it is my escrow shortage. My escrow was always included in my mortgage since I bought my home in XX/XX/XXXX. I have not seen any drastic increase in my home owners insurance or my property tax that would suddenly cause such an increase in my mortgage. In fact I have been receiving tax credits for my property tax since XX/XX/XXXX. There has been a {$770.00} increase in my insurance for just {$2000.00}, but that would certainly not cause such a shortage. I have tried to get answers and no one follows up and give me the information which I am seeking. I do receive letters from their office about delinquency starting from XX/XX/XXXX to present. On XX/XX/XXXX I paid online {$3200.00} to cover the cost of XXXX and XXXX mortgage. Then on XX/XX/XXXX I mailed in a check for {$2900.00} to go towards my escrow account, because that was the amount I got back from my county for the tax credit. On Friday I received a letter from Specialized Loan Servicing ( SLS ) showing that I have an escrow shortage of {$14000.00}. My new mortgage payment will be {$2900.00}. No one has shown me who they paid that escrow to and when and how did that come about. I am on a XXXX income of {$2000.00} from which I pay other bills. There is absolutely no way I will be able to afford that and no way do I want to lose my house that I have invested so much in. I am now XXXX years old and sick. I need investigation into this matter with hopefully a great resolution. I also want to start paying my own taxes and insurance to avoid future confusion. Please help me to resolve this matter.

Trouble during payment process
Mortgage: Conventional home mortgage
Complaint: On XX/XX/XXXX I received and escrow analysis showing the account with SLS had a surplus in the account. The account was not current and the letter indicated that the check would be refunded when the account was brought current. As an executor of my mother 's estate I contacted the company. Made the payment to bring the account current. SLS shows the account current as XX/XX/XXXX. I was told I would have the surplus check within 2 weeks.
Did not happen. I waited until XX/XX/XXXX to follow up again. I was told I would have the check in hand by XX/XX/XXXX. The delay was because they had not filled out the correct form internally to get the check released.
Today is XX/XX/XXXX. I followed up agian and was told that they would be changing my escrow account in XX/XX/XXXX and they would look at sending the check out sometime next month. This is causing there to be late charges to the XX/XX/XXXX payment since these are the funds that were to be used to pay XX/XX/XXXX 's payment. They told me that was not their problem and they would also be assessing an additional late charge. I have been transferred from one person to another and placed on hold for over an hour.
It is my understanding that they should have resolved the escrow surplus within 30 days. They have surpassed this time period and as a result of keeping our funds they are causing other late fees and charges. I just finished talking with them and they are going to see what they can do and will let me know when they find out. No time frame.

Trouble during payment process
Mortgage: Conventional home mortgage
Complaint: I NEED MORE TIME I moved here from XXXX, WA. I've been robbed by a Tax Preparer, 2 Car Dealerships and now by a Bank that had nothing to do with me. The court Judges could care less about the truth, they only care about the Business Owners ; therefore, if don't fall in that category, you're wasting time and court fee money. I've lost over $ 500k due to Business Owners quick talking scams and what seems to be South Carolina Judges receiving some sort of compensation. I wouldn't go to court without supporting documentation, but SC Judges don't seem to have time to review in order to pass fair judgment. I've lived here since XX/XX/XXXX, now I'm told because XXXX scammed me, I don't have rights unless I hire a Lawyer. If I don't have a Lawyer, my family and I will be put out in the Street in 21 DAYS. I contacted the SC Bar Legal Referral Service, I called the office I was referred to and found that the Lawyer is on XXXX Leave with his wife. I NEVER had any business with the Bank that sold my home, based on a 2nd Mortgage I never received. I contacted XXXX XXXX, and their Servicer and they had no knowledge of a 2nd Lein Holder. So tell me, HOW THE HECK WAS I SUPPOSED TO KNOW? I started here with XXXX, I was kept in the dark after I spent my thousands of dollars. How can anyone move in 21 days from a home they've lived in for 14years?
I desperately need for someone to intervene with this unfair Judging in this State, with ALL DUE RESPECT. If nothing else, help me get more time to find another place to live and money to pay for it.
I had 1 loan from XXXX. XXXX sent me a letter telling me what I owe once they took over XXXX. XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX sold my home claiming I had 2 loans from XXXX. XXXX sent me a Copy the Note.
On XX/XX/XXXX, I was given 21 Days to move out of a home which we have been living in since XX/XX/XXXX. I was informed it was sold due to failure to pay on a 2nd Mortgage, but I only had one Mortgage on this home. I spoke with XXXX XXXX Reps and XXXX Reps, and every Rep informed me that XXXX XXXX, is the only Investor.
PLEASE HELP ME!!!! Ive reached out to XXXX XXXX and was finally told to contact XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. Ive never had any dealings with XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX sold my home on a 2nd Mortgage which XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX, XXXX, nor myself had any knowledge of after XXXX XXXX took over XXXX. I've reached out to a Lawyer through XXXX, but was told he is on XXXX leave with his wife ; therefore, I didn't receive a return call. I only have a few days and, I only need someone to contact the Judge for more time to move. It's not going to be easy to move 13 years of life in 21 days. I continued to contact a XXXX XXXX Rep, for information regarding what was going on, but they didn't give me any information until after the house was sold by XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX.
Respectfully, XXXX XXXX

Charlotte, NC
Trouble during payment process
Mortgage: Other type of mortgage
Complaint: My loan was sold to Specialized loan servicing from XXXX. I had filed bankruptcy as a defense of the sale of my home and that is when the mortgage was transferred. The bankuptcy was dismissed because the payments were very high can could not be maintained. Specialized Loan servicing informed me that I could make the payments to them regardless of the bankruptcy. I paid the XX/XX/XXXX and the XX/XX/XXXX however, when I called to make the XXXX payment I was informed I had to bring the loan current. They refused to take any more payments from me. I attempted 4 times during the XXXX to obtain a modification and SLS would tell me that the payment plan did not work out and the interest rate could not be changed. I have an adjustable rate mortgage with an arm and felt that explanation was not credible.
Over the months of receiving the modification packages they never told me they were not authorized until XX/XX/XXXX. For the entire SLS held the mortgage hostage with the intent of foreclosing to gain the equity in the home. I went to the NC hardest hit funds and was told that I qualify for funding but I had to come up with " Gap '' funds so I went to my credit union paid for an appraisal and qualified for the funds only to be told they would not extend the dollars to me because I was taking a HELOC. I have al lthe written correspondance that supports each and everything I have said.
I need help saving my home..I have lived here for almost 19 years. My daughter was raised in this home and it would be very traumatic for her to be uprooted given she suffered a XXXX break in XX/XX/XXXX and she is recovering here in the home. I work full time and I can afford to pay my mortgage if they would reinstate the mortgage, I have spoken with XXXX XXXX as they are the owners/ investor of the loan however, they have denied having the authority to modify the loan as well. This is my only home and when the default occurred I owed XXXX but it is much higher due to interest and fees that have been applied. fees.

Mortgage: FHA mortgage
Complaint: I have been having issues with completing the short sale process for my property to relieve myself from the debt and settle what i owe with the lender Specialized Loan Servicing. I followed all their guidelines and steps involving the short sale process and had the auction of my home delayed in order to ensure that i would be able to complete a short sale and get my life back on track. With the help of my realtor we got a buyer to put an offer in which we submitted to them. Around the end of XX/XX/XXXX they agreed to review my short sale and sent out an appraiser to get the value of the house. Their value came back higher than our buyers offer of XXXX. Despite their lower value, they told us they were looking to get XXXX. We immediately went back on the market to look for that value. We were able to get the original buyer to come up to meet their counter, and when we did they refused to review it as they had set an auction date and claimed we did not have enough time to submit it for a review. They claimed they had issues getting into the property a second time which caused some delays in them getting another value, but we never received a call from any appraiser. They finally sent someone on XX/XX/XXXX and my realtor had to meet them out there to make sure they would get in. At this point another auction date was scheduled for XX/XX/XXXX so we were still on a time crunch. They got their value back at the same as it was previously XX/XX/XXXX and asked us to wait til after the holidays for an approval. After the holidays we were told that they were looking to NET XXXX even though their valuation of the property came back at XXXX and said their investor would no longer look at a short sale. I have put a lot of effort into this short sale only for it to be shut down because SLS 's negligence and inability to follow through with the process. Their inconsistency leads me to believe that they never actually entertained our offer, and put us through this process for no reason.

Trouble during payment process
Mortgage: Conventional home mortgage
Complaint: SPECIALIZED LOAN SERVICING, LLC. misapplied the money I sent to them in XX/XX/2016 for property taxes and insurance. They called me on that XXXX and want me to send the money. I sent two checks to them. one check was for {$7700.00} for taxes, and the second check was for {$1200.00} for insurance. These were exactly what they requested for.
The following month they forced payment plan on me, and started appropriating my regular monthly mortgage payment to cover the same taxes and insurance. They claimed that my regular monthly mortgage payment of {$1400.00} was not enough for the mortgage, taxes and insurance thereby started charging me LATE payments. I was then reported to THE CREDIT BUREAU for late payments. Since the past two years, I increased my monthly payments to {$2500.00}.
I have never been late on my payment since they bought my loan, and now they have destroyed my credit.
