Consumer Narrative
We fell a few months behind on our mortgage due to a temporary hardship. That hardship was resolved in late XX/XX/XXXX. On XX/XX/XXXX, I called our servicer, Specialized Loan Servicing ( SLS ), to make a payment to cover the past due amount and catch up. The representative told me that the amount due to catch up was {$3400.00}. The representative helpfully scheduled a payment for that amount for XX/XX/XXXX and made no mention of anything being amiss. I received a confirmation email and confirmation number. On XXXX, I received another email saying the payment was completed. I checked my mortgage account online, and I saw that that amount was applied to the balance due on the loan, and I assumed everything was fine. SLS also withdrew the {$3400.00} payment from my checking account at that time. However, on XX/XX/XXXX, I received a message via SLS 's secure messaging system that my payment was being returned due to my loan being in foreclosure. That was the first time I was made aware of any foreclosure. I replied to the message using the secure messaging system and explained how I was told on XXXX that the payment of {$3400.00} would cover the past due amount and I expected them to follow through on their word. I received a reply on XX/XX/XXXX that basically said the same thing as the XX/XX/XXXX message. In the meantime, I called SLS on XX/XX/XXXX and spoke to a representative who was unable or unwilling to help me. He scheduled a return call with a supervisor for between XXXX and noon on XX/XX/XXXX. I arranged my work schedule so I would be available at that time, and I never received a call. I then sent SLS another message later in the day on XX/XX/XXXX asking for the direct number of a supervisor. I didn't receive a reply until XX/XX/XXXX, which said a supervisor would reach out to me in the next 24-48 hours. That time frame has now passed, and I still haven't received a call. SLS obviously made a mistake, they are unwilling to correct it, and they are unwilling to escalate the matter to someone who can correct it. They have yet to return the {$3400.00} payment. I expect them to honor the figure of {$3400.00} as explained to me on XX/XX/XXXX and apply my payment to the loan. They record all phone conversations, so none of this information should be in dispute. I also have copies of the confirmation emails and other communications.
