Consumer Narrative
NewRez/Shellpoint. I have been current in all my mortgage payments. I received a call early Saturday morning telling me Shellpoint Servicing for NewRez was calling to collect a debt which could result in foreclosure but he did not know exactly for what or how much. After I asked several questions I deduced it was the mortgage payment. I called the number he gave me on Monday and got nowhere. In fact, I called all the numbers I could find on the internet and got me nowhere. I finally got a reply when I complained on XXXX. They purchased my loan, I got a letter and set up auto pay with my bank but they never sent me any statements after that. They never picked up my insurance coverage with the last lender but were charging me {$800.00} per month for the last 4 months for insurance that I already had on the house. The house payment is {$1100.00} per month.They were sending the statements and all mail to this vacation home in which no mailed is delivered to anyone up there. They are still sending me emails that I owe them this money after I have cleared this up with them. I recall a loan, 3 years ago on my primary house, also sold to them and they were charging me {$1000.00} per month for insurance I already had. It got so bad I just refinanced with another lender. NewRez and Shellpoint are basically the same company however I found one side does not know what the other side is doing. In my opinion, it is a scam they have going to foreclose on people that do not understand the industry. NewRez/Shellpoint should be contacted and instructed to stop charging outrageous fees for home insurance 4 months after the fact when they have not done their due diligence to make sure they have acquired proof of insurance from the last lender and the mailing address is correct. They have a copy of the deed which shows the correct mailing address so they have no excuse. Odd they contacted me by phone after charging me for 4 months for home insurance, {$3200.00}, instead of calling me in the first place. I would not be surprised if other homeowners paid their fees just to get them from harassing them further and fear of foreclosure. This is a horrible way to do business and have never had this issue with any other lender. I would think this would be against Fair Lending, U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development ( HUD ), Full Disclosure laws and the Department of Real Estate laws.
