Consumer Narrative
Closed on my home in XXXX. Prior to closing I was advised I needed to purchase flood insurance. I called around for prices, FEMA policy was almost XXXX dollars. I was not going to purchase my home due to this amount. I found cheaper flood insurance through a private flood carrier. Closed on the home. In XXXX of XXXX I completed a streamline refinance, everything went well no changes except my APR. fast forward to approx a month ago I receive a letter from my mortgage company advising my current flood policy is not acceptable and I will need to find NFIP insurance ( FEMA ) prior to XX/XX/XXXX or I will have forced insurance selected by the mortgage company. After back and forth with plenty of supervisors and reps the end result was this is an FHA requirement and it was an error that should have been found at my initial closing, each year after and at the refinance. This error by everyone involved will cost be more yearly and monthly as the policy is a XXXX XXXX more. I have received conflicting information from each representative I spoke with. Every time I speak to someone I receive a different answer as to why I received this letter. I want a email documented as to how this policy was acceptable since the purchase of my home in XXXX and all the way to XXXX. There was no change to FHA requirements recently which explains why a MANAGER advised me this was an error on everyone who was involved. Which I want emailed to me and have yet to receive.
