Consumer Narrative
I have been furloughed in 2020 between XXXX. I have applied for mortgage forbearance and Fifth Third Bank granted me 6 months. In XXXX I called the bank to inform them Im back to work and I would like to restart payments. I have never received nor signed a forbearance contract. Nor I was informed that at the end of the forbearance I would have to repay the missed payments. In XX/XX/2020 Ive noticed in my mortgage statement that the entire missed amount is due. I called the bank and they said they will send me a mortgage addendum to have the missed payments applied to the loan. Addendum received, signed, notarized and sent back. I received a new addendum to sign due to the fact the first one was missing my wifes name as a co-borrower. I executed the second addendum and sent it back timely. In XX/XX/2020 I have noticed the bank reported late payments to credit bureaus for the months of XXXX, XXXX, and XX/XX/2020. I have NEVER had a late payment in my credit history. I called the bank multiple times to have the reporting corrected. After months of calls and inquiries, the bank informed me they will not change the reporting since I have not paid back the missed payments on time?! I hope my above explanation of the events is showing how I obeyed all rules and instructions at all times. I have never been informed ( in writing or by phone ) that I would have to pay the missed amount at the end of the forbearance. How would that help the customer anyway? I was out of work ( due to pandemic lockdown ) and immediately after starting work I would have to repay few months of missing payments??? I also want to mention that Im current with my mortgage loan. Thank you for the attention given to my case!
