Consumer Narrative
In XXXX of XXXX I received a bill and escrow statement showing a shortage of roughly {$3500.00} in my escrow account, the payment for XXXX was {$2300.00} and the new payment for XX/XX/XXXX ( and moving forward ) was roughly {$3000.00}. My payment for XXXX was automatically withdrawn from my account and paid on XX/XX/XXXX and I called Loancare on roughly XX/XX/XXXX. Since this was a large increase I called Loancare, the company my mortgage is with to make sure the information was correct. It was. The individual at loancare suggested that I could lower the new monthly payment by asking for an extension over 2 to 3 years. I said that's a great idea and requested 3 years, he said someone would reach out to me in 3-5 business days. I never received a call so I checked the account online after 5 business days, and it had given me a late fee of {$60.00}. I called Loancare for explanation and after a long conversation realized that the new escrow amount was put into effect on XXXX which backdated, so it showed my payment was short- which it wasn't. I explained the situation and was told the problem would be rectified in 3-5 business days but that the late fee would be removed, I asked if their error would affect my credit and they said no and in fact put something on the account to say the credit should not be altered while this was figured out. Come to find that it did hit my credit and shows up as a XXXX point deduction and I discovered such on XX/XX/XXXX. After 5 business days no one reached out, so I contacted Loancare again and they continued to do escrow analysis ' and not change the date of the first payment, I once again asked about credit and they assured me it would not cause any problems. Over the next few weeks I continued to have the same problems calling in a total of 8 times between XXXX XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX. Twice I was told I would be called back and I never was. Come to find on XX/XX/XXXX, after receiving letters of default, they also pinged my credit for XXXX additional points ( XXXX total ) although I continue to be told by them that nothing will happen to my credit. No one has helped, I keep being told 3-5 days or 24 hours before a call will be returned and it never is. With a default on my credit I won't be able to borrow money or do a HELOC which I had planned, they are affecting my current and future buying power and the company does not deserve to operate with such poor consumer service and gross negligence. Please Help!
