Consumer Narrative
I XX/XX/, I purchased my first home through Guaranteed Rate. My payment was set up for escrow within my P & I payment. In XX/XX/XXXX, my loan got transferred to XXXX XXXX XXXX from Guaranteed Rate. Everything still seemed fine as mortgage transfers usually happen. In XX/XX/XXXX, I start to get letters from the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX office, advising that my taxes have been past due since XXXX. I tried to call XXXX for information as to why this was happening. XXXX kept giving me a running around as to taxes were paid. I called the tax accessor and they advised they never received escrow payment from any lender from the time I bought my home. The tax accessor has advised if I do not make a payment by XX/XX/XXXX, they can pursue legal action for foreclosure. I have contacted XXXX once again to confirm what actions they are taking. They advised that they sent out a check back in XXXX, but it bounced and returned. Not once did they try to confirm why or where this returned. They now have mentioned they sent an escrow check on XX/XX/XXXX to the tax accessor, but only covers the taxes for the year XXXX. When I spoke to XXXX, they advised that when they received the loan from Guaranteed Rate, they mentioned there was no escrow balance transferred to them from GR. They mentioned that maybe GR had paid out the full escrow balance to the taxes, but does not satisfy that comment. As XXXX County tax accessor has provided details that there has been no escrow payment in XXXX. I am beyond disappointed in both services as to how they're handling my escrow account. Had I known the irresponsibility of the mortgage services was this bad, I would not have set up escrow into my payment. Now my escrow has been reanalyzed and my payment has jumped from about XXXX to now XXXX due to the incompetence of these mortgage services. Neither XXXX nor Guaranteed Rate wants to speak to me directly to figure this mess out. I have done what I am supposed to as a borrower and make my payments on time. If neither, Guaranteed Rate or XXXX financial want take responsibility for their lack of service, I will be moving forward with prosecution. It just seems as both lenders would rather have my home foreclosed on than to assist me.
