Consumer Narrative
Forbearance In XXXX of XXXX, I started a forbearance under the CARES ACT since I have a USDA loan and I was not working my full hours due to COVID-19. I was told by the person initiating the forbearance that once it was over the bank would either put the payments at the end of my loan or help us come up with a payment plan to repay the payments missed. The forbearance ended and I made my first payment XXXX of XXXX. I spoke with someone from BB & T trying to get things figured out on how we were to repay. I was told I to make my current payment every month until the bank figured out how I was going to repay the forbearance. I was sent a package in the mail to apply for a forbearance. I called them and told them I didnt need to apply for one we were trying to figure out what we were supposed to do concerning the payments missed. I was told that was the paperwork I needed to fill out. I filled it out and sent it in. I received a letter stating that I forgot to send in one of the pay stubs requested. I found the paystub and sent it in. Some time passed and I received a letter saying my forbearance request was denied. I called again and was told that someone had put it in the computer that I was applying for a forbearance. They said they would fix it and send us out more paperwork to fill out. It was the same paperwork and I was told that I still needed to fill it out so they could figure out what my repayment options were. I filled everything out and sent it in. I got a letter saying that I was missing a paper, even though I filled everything they sent and mailed it to them. I was sent a letter saying they could not verify my income even though I sent in more paystubs. I called again and was sent out the same paperwork. I filled it out, and mailed it to the address they gave me. I received a letter in the mail with a check in the amount of the house payment I had made in XXXX and I called them. I was told they never received my paperwork and they had closed my mortgage account. I asked her what was the address I am suppose to send the paperwork to and she told me she did not know. She then told me I had until XX/XX/XXXX to pay the entire past due payments from the forbearance including fees and interest ( {$10000.00} ) plus an additional {$700.00} to reopen my account and any payments missed since the closing of my account. My payments during the forbearance was about {$560.00}. I have made every payment on time since the forbearance ended with the exception of the payment they returned ( XX/XX/XXXX ) and the one they refused to take ( XX/XX/XXXX ).
