Mortgage· Struggling to pay mortgageCA

Fay servicing violated every law there was to violate back in 2016. They stole my house and sold it. The bank wouldnt accept a payment and it had been XXXX years and Fay came in and forged the documents and our signatures and stole the house and sold it. They took the over {$250000.00} of equity I had in my house and pushed us out and I have been homeless since. They left my kids and I penniless. It would have been XXXX thing if they did it and it was legit but nothing was true and honest. They falsified documents. They didnt even have the right interest amount. I just want what is owned to me. I want the equity. They lied and said they would modify it. It was against the law to even try to collect on this debt as it has been so long since they would accept a payment. Technically the house was mine free and clear. I dont know then what I know now and I wish I had. I want what is owed to me and my family. They put us on the street.

I am filing a formal complaint against my mortgage services for explicit violations of the Equal Credit Opportunity Act ( ECOA ) regulation X ( XXXX XXXX XXXX ) regarding a loan modification evaluation and subsequent appeal. My primary source of legal income consists of {$990.00} per month in Social Security XXXX ( XXXX ). This is non-taxable public assistance protected under federal fair lending laws. I applied for a loan modification and was initially denied. I submitted a timely appeal explicitly citing fair income laws for XXXX recipients and challenging the servicer 's income calculations. On XX/XX/XXXX, the servicer issued a decision on my appeal. I never received the written decision in the mail and only discovered it by calling the servicer. When the customer service agent emailed a copy of the letter to me, it simply stated the " must respectfully uphold the original decision.

On Friday, XX/XX/XXXX, we sold our rental property and the wire transfer was sent to Fay Servicing. On XX/XX/XXXX, Fay Servicing also debited a mortgage payment from my account. We received confirmation of payoff Monday, XX/XX/XXXX, at XXXX CST. Monday afternoon, at XXXX PST, I called Fay Servicing for verification of payoff, and also because I was locked out of my online account. After being placed on hold approximately XXXX minutes, the woman on the phone hung up on me, after I asked for her supervisor to call me since this woman was so rude. I asked for her name, and she hung up on me. Tuesday, XX/XX/XXXX, I attempted to log in to the Fay account and still could not gain access. Today, Wednesday, XX/XX/XXXX, I called Fay again and was hung up on again. TWICE, all because legally on the deed, our property is XXXX XXXX XXXX, NOT XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. There is XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, etc, after XXXX on the deed- I did not choose this, this is how the property was when I bought it.

I currently came across several issues with a company Fay Servicing and it sounded similar to a situation my father went through so I researched on my end and this is what I found. I am unsure what my next steps are but I am hoping this complaint can help guide Fay Servicing to do the right thing. My father, XXXX XXXX ( deceased XX/XX/XXXX ) owned a property located at XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX, IL XXXX. He foreclosed on the property in XX/XX/XXXX. The judgement total was {$120000.00} and they resold the property in XX/XX/XXXX for {$140000.00}. That leaves an overpayment of {$17000.00} that was never offered to my father which to my understanding is illegal! I looked up the statute of limitations in Illinois and could not find any so I do not think the time has expired. My father has 2 heirs, my sister XXXX XXXX and myself so I know legally we would be entitled to these funds.

Mortgage· Trouble during payment processIL

I work with Fay Servicing and I call every 2 weeks to pay my mortgage and explicitly notate how the payment is for the following month and how it needs to be applied ONLY to that next month 's payment and like clockwork, I get a call late in the month that they haven't received my payment and have charged me a late fee. Whether it be by their system not switching everything or them not meeting my note on the account. They continuously use the complimentary waivers of late fees without my permission or acknowledgement, you can NEVER reach a manager and the only way to meet their biweekly payment processor is to be able to pay two months up front and there is still no guarantee that they will adequately mark the payment because they don't communicate with the customer and/or the internal system. I am unable to refinance my home at this time and can not stand this company and can not imagine letting them have the direct connection to my bank account anymore.

I am submitting a follow-up complaint regarding Fay Servicing , LLCs handling of my loss mitigation application and their prior response to CFPB Complaint ID XXXX. While the company stated that my application was reviewed and that no options were available, their response did not provide a clear, complete, or verifiable explanation of how that determination was made. Specifically, the company relied on generalized and non-transparent statements, as reflected in their written response, without providing sufficient detail to allow independent verification of the evaluation, including : - That certain options are not available in my state, without identifying whether this is due to specific state law, investor-imposed restrictions, or internal policy, and without citing any governing basis that would allow this determination to be independently verified - That investor guidelines are proprietary, without explaining how my financial information was evaluated against those guidelines -

I am filing a complaint against Fay Servicing regarding what appears to be inaccurate accounting and a lack of transparency in the servicing of my mortgage loan. I missed my XXXX payment but made payments in XXXX and XXXX. I have been informed that no payments are currently held in a suspense account. However, I am now being told I owe approximately {$16000.00} to bring my loan current, which does not align with my monthly payment amount of {$1300.00} or the number of payments I have missed. Despite multiple attempts, I have not been provided with a clear, itemized explanation of how this {$16000.00} amount was calculated. I have specifically requested clarification on how my XXXX and XXXX payments were applied, but have not received a detailed accounting.

Made XXXX payment on the lender portal. Unbeknownst to me, this action resulted in automatic ACH debit monthly. Double payments made because I then made monthly payments on my own. Mortgage was prepaid by 3 months, and the lender still continued to debit, even though XXXX payment was due!!!! Unscrupulous business practice! I have cancelled the XXXX auto debit, once I realized what was happening.

Then when i was told how I did send in my payments and even paid over the amount due. XX/XX/XXXX I sent in a check for {$1100.00} and it was processed on the XXXX from the bank. XX/XX/XXXX I sent in a check for {$1200.00} and it still hasnt been processed. XX/XX/XXXX I have sent another payment of {$1000.00} They may have not recieved that one yet. I now have no account number ( They wont give it to me ) and no way to get on the online portal to pay or look at my mortgage. I asked them if i could pay over the phone with them and they say i am behind in payments and that the house is going into foreclosure and i have to pay forclosure fees before i can make any payments ( this seems strange ). I have record of checks i have mailed in for payments.

They've been threatening foreclosure over a missed loan payment, but I can't talk to them about it because they will only talk to my " lawyer ''. They've been informed multiple times, including through their own lawyer, that I am no longer in bankruptcy.

I did not receive my full escrow payment upon closing. I received a final judgment when the mortgage was previously defaulted during XXXX and there was a final judgment in the amount of {$300000.00} however in order to sell the home and pay in full under arrest and threat of foreclosure, we were forced to abruptly sell and the payoff we received was {$480000.00} without any line by line explanation as to the difference in the judgment amount and their payoff amount. Their tax statement states that the amount paid for the home was XXXX and they received almost XXXX more. Over the years there had been over billing an escrow and fabricated cost such as winterization, which only occurs on properties that are vacant, and this was a primary residence and never vacant.

Issue : Mortgage payment interference, disputed balance, unexplained account charges, incomplete records, and improper disclosure of another consumers information. I attempted to make my regular mortgage payment for XXXX, but I was unable to do so because I could not access my online account and/or was otherwise prevented from processing the payment. I was ready, willing, and able to make the XXXX payment, but Fay Servicing prevented me from doing so through its systems and handling of the account. I was not refusing to pay. I was actively trying to make the payment. We contacted Fay Servicing repeatedly on XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX ( twice ), XX/XX/XXXX ( twice ), and XX/XX/XXXX ( twice ) to resolve the issue and obtain an explanation. Instead, we were given inconsistent and unclear information. During one of those calls, a representative told me in substance that if I sent a payment, they would not accept it, would send it back, and litigation would be pursued against me.

We paid our last house payment. Then a deferred balance and a recoverable corporate advance balance was charged since I was at the end of my loan, it showed up in my portal as the new balance. I asked for information on these. They sent me a letter stating the recoverable corporate advance balance was paid by my prior servicer and then that was removed. I was happy about that. Then I was waiting for the breakdown information for the deferred balance. I have called and emailed 50 times and am getting no where. Then all of a sudden the recoverable corporate advance shows back up on a statement. I am beyond frustrated!!
