Consumer Narrative

Last summer I took advantage of an offer from the Bank of Hope to suspend payments for 3 months due to challenges related to COVID. Per the signed agreement with Bank of Hope I did not pay for XXXX, XXXX and XXXX of XXXX. In XXXX, I began to pay double payments. I paid double payments for XXXX, XXXX and XXXX per my agreement with XXXX XXXX to ensure that by the time the XXXX payment was made, the account was current. In late XX/XX/XXXX I realised that Bank of Hope thought that I had missed a monthly payment. I began to interact with XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX in their loan servicing department. XXXX XXXX commented on the phone that because of the COVID repayments he thought one of my double payments had been misallocated. I have an e-mail from XXXX dated XX/XX/XXXX where she says she opened up a ticket with the research department to have this sorted out. On the phone several times she said that the reversals of my late charges would be made and that the account would be brought up to current. I asked for a print out of how all of my charges to date had been applied to the account which she never sent. The next payment coupon and the next after that continued to show that I was a month late on payments. XXXX XXXX also opened up a ticket and I again asked for a print out of how all of my charges to date had been applied and sent e-mails detailing the records of my payments which I made via the Bank of Hope 's online system asking for them to point out where I had missed the payment. I never got a final response from XXXX. After several calls and e-mails through XXXX and early XXXX, I connected with XXXX XXXX who was able to show me a spreadsheet of exactly how my payments had been allocated and that he agreed with me that my account was actually current. He said he was in the process of creating the reversals. Unfortunately, Bank of Hope transferred servicing of my loan to XXXX before those reversals could be made and XXXX are now showing that I am one month late on my mortgage payments. I have made repeated calls to XXXX but I am not able to connect them with XXXX XXXX and in spite of promises to " raise a research ticket '' it's been 2 weeks and nothing has happened. I spoke today with the XXXX mortgage service team who acknowledged that no ticket has been opened up in spite of my repeated requests to have someone on the XXXX side engage directly with Bank of Hope. The supervisor I spoke with said that their process did not allow for that to happen and that she would raise a ticket with research. I asked why that hadn't happened already and got no definitive response, only apologies.
