Consumer Narrative
My current mortgage servicer ( Shellpoint ) acquired my loan from XXXX XXXX, in approximately XXXX of XXXX. At the time I was paying {$1500.00} per month to XXXX XXXX. XXXX XXXX always set aside a portion of my payment towards escrow. In an escrow account they set up for my account. When they transferred my account to Shellpoint, I was still paying the same {$1500.00} per month. For a while I didn't even know they had transferred my account. But I continued to make my {$1500.00} monthly payment to Shellpoint. It turns out that Shellpoint failed to set up an escrow account for my payments, and they, in fact misapplied my entire {$1500.00} to " principal & interest ''. Not setting aside any amount towards escrow and not informing me that they viewed my monthly mortgage payment as {$680.00} per month.. Yet not applying the remaining {$820.00} to my escrow account. This went on for approximately 2 years. Sometime during the pandemic, when businesses were shutting down, I received several threats from various collections companies threatening to garnish my wages. I sought the help of a lawyer ( big mistake ) who decided I needed to file for XXXX XXXX, instead of just dealing with the 2 small collections companies who were making the threats. I was not behind on my mortgage. When I filed, based on that lawyers very bad advice, Shellpoint decided that all of the payments that I made and they did not take out any escrow, they would put into their XXXX and claim that I owed them back escrow payment?!? They unlawfully claimed that I owed them in excess of {$14000.00} because I did not make any escrow payments... Even though, I did... But They were the one 's who were negligent in 1 ) Not opening an escrow account for my account until literally XXXX of XXXX. And 2 ) They misapplied the proceeds of my payments by not separating my escrow portion of my payments, and instead applied the entire amount to my principal & interest. Further, they are now claiming that they do not have any record of my most recent payments. I am paying them, they are losing track of my payments. When I call they don't seem to have a clue as to where my money went. Even though I have receipts from my bank for each of my payments!
