Shellpoint has accessed two {$30.00} fees to my account with no explanation. When I called them ( 3 or 4 ) times in XXXX they finally explained that they were property inspections requested by the lender. I ask for written information when this occurred and I have not received an answer. Shellpoint also will not let me pay the fees thru their website. They will not accept additional principle payments because of the fee balance so they are holding that hostage. I was charged two inspections in a relatively short period for a mortgage in good standing. I want an explanation in writing why, who, and when they occurred. How do I know these fees are legitimate?

XXXX XXXX [ Your Address ] [ City, State ZIP ] [ Date ] Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) Re : Response to Newrez LLCs Reply Regarding Mortgage Loan Investigation Dear Consumer Financial Protection Bureau Representative, Thank you for forwarding Newrez LLCs response to my complaint. I have carefully reviewed their letter in its entirety. Unfortunately, their response does not answer many of the specific questions I asked, nor does it provide the documentary evidence I requested. Instead, Newrez repeatedly states that it does not possess many of the records necessary to explain the history of my loan. My request to the CFPB was not simply for Newrez to repeat what previous servicers had already stated. I specifically requested an independent investigation supported by documentary evidence. I asked that every answer be supported by the actual records that prove what occurred, not by summaries or conclusions.…
I filed complaint XXXX on XX/XX/year>. I have an escrow account with NewRez LLC and they have failed to pay my property taxes and a tax lien has been filed. I have had to pay the taxes out of my personal checking in order to preserve credit and get the local municipality to discharge the lien. I have paid the XXXX XXXX XXXX {$2300.00} and would like to get reimbursed by NewRez ASAP. The company did attempt to pay {$100.00} last week but the check is being returned by the town because they have agreed the account was paid by me in full. Having to pay the taxes out of cash creates a hardship and allowing a lien to be placed on my property is harmful to my credit. Having the mortgage company decide they need more time to figure out they haven't done what they are supposed to is not helpful, especially, when there has been contact several times and not once did they reached out to the me as a customer to help.
Newrez LLC has confirmed in writing that my loss mitigation application is complete, yet it is simultaneously allowing a foreclosure sale of my homestead to remain posted for XX/XX/XXXX. This is textbook prohibited dual-tracking. On the same account, Newrez has also failed to respond to or resolve a timely Qualified Written Request and Notice of Error I submitted on XX/XX/XXXX. Newrez is knowingly ignoring the federal protections XXXX and the CFPB enacted to prevent exactly this outcome, and its own correspondence confirms the violation. Newrez 's own acknowledgment letter dated XX/XX/XXXX states that my application " is complete as of XX/XX/XXXX and additional documents or information is not required at this time, '' while in the same letter admitting the " property is scheduled for a foreclosure sale on XX/XX/XXXX '' and that if evaluation is not completed first, " the foreclosure sale will proceed as scheduled. '' That is a written admission of dualtracking. II.…

My mortgage was sold to Shellpoint Mortgage Servicing. I pay through my bank 's bill pay. Shellpoint raised my escrow payment twice without providing the legally required RESPA XXXX notice, resulting in accidental underpayments and predatory {$46.00} late fees on a XXXX perfect payment history. When I submitted an online dispute with bank statement proof, they forced me to create a login under their parent company, Newrez, to view the reply. Now, they have locked me out of my original Shellpoint account. I demand : XXXX ) A full audit and copy of my escrow analysis statements, XXXX ) The immediate waiver of all predatory late fees caused by their lack of notice, and XXXX ) Restored, stable online access to my account history. I never had a problem with original mortgage company XXXX XXXX XXXX ) until it was sold to shellpoint. I sent them them payment from bank showing 15 months of on time payments
Since it's been almost 2 months and the company chose not to respond to XXXX. I am now submitting a new complaint and escalating my including a 2nd party in my complaint. Just to recap, they lied in the response to my original complaint, then when I provided indisputable evidence in the form of an email chain that my complaint was 100 % valid which contradicted their response, they chose to go silent while the clock is running out as the property is still in foreclosure with a sale date in a few months. So now I'm raising a very detailed complaint not only against them, Shellpoint the servicer, but also XXXX XXXX XXXX who at some point became the owner/investor. Now I of course don't know if they're complicit is these very damaging violations committed by their representative ( RESPA, FDCPA, FCRA, Negligence and Bad Faith serving ), but now that they are named, they can not say they weren't made aware.…
" My mortgage servicer formally approved a forbearance agreement on XX/XX/year>. However, my online portal contains XXXX record of this approved forbearance and is actively demanding a past-due XXXX payment. Furthermore, the servicer retroactively backdated the contract effective date to XX/XX/XXXX, despite my XXXX payment already being processed and cleared. This constitutes a severe Breach of the XXXX of Good Faith and Fair Dealing by retroactively altering required performance and keeping a payment for a period officially waived under the modification. It also violates RESPA Regulation X ( 12 CFR 1024.34 ) via escrow/suspense misapplication, and UDAAP via verbal misrepresentations by supervisory staff claiming the forbearance is a 'technicality ' requiring payment.…
I am submitting this complaint because I believe there may have been errors in the servicing of my escrow account that resulted in my homeowners insurance being canceled, lender-placed insurance being added to my loan, and a substantial increase in my monthly mortgage payment. Despite multiple conversations with my mortgage servicer, I have not received a clear explanation of what occurred or whether the charges were handled correctly. I am requesting the CFPBs assistance in ensuring this matter is fully investigated and resolved. I have a mortgage serviced by Shellpoint Mortgage Servicing ( Newrez LLC ). My homeowners insurance premium was supposed to be paid from my escrow account. Shellpoint was correctly listed as the mortgagee on my homeowners insurance policy. However, my homeowners insurance policy was canceled for non-payment. When I contacted Shellpoint, I was told they never received the insurance bill from my insurance company.…

Shellpoint took over servicing of my mortgage loan for the rental property at XXXX XXXX XXXX after it closed with XXXX XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/year>. The loan was established with property taxes and hazard insurance escrowed. The executed closing documents clearly show this : the Final XXXX Settlement Statement collected {$890.00} for XXXX months of insurance at {$89.00} per month ; Section XXXX of the Security Instrument identifies required insurance premiums as escrow items and says any waiver must be in writing ; Section XXXX of the Loan Agreement requires a Tax and Insurance Escrow Account ; and the First Payment Notice includes {$89.00} per month for insurance. Despite these records, Shellpoint says it can not find evidence that insurance is escrowed. Shellpoint has not produced a written escrow waiver or a complete accounting of the transferred escrow funds.…
Newrez performed an inaccurate escrow analysis that improperly increased my monthly mortgage payment based on clear accounting errors. First, Newrez claims it advanced funds to pay my XXXX XXXX XXXX property taxes due to insufficient escrow funds. However, their escrow analysis incorrectly reports {$0.00} paid for these taxes in the prior year, despite their own records showing a payment of approximately {$3800.00}. Regardless of whether the payment was made using escrow funds or a servicer advance, the tax was paid and must be reflected as a disbursement in the escrow analysis. By omitting this payment, Newrez : -Artificially inflates projected escrow expenses -Creates a false escrow shortage -Improperly increases my monthly mortgage payment XXXX, the escrow analysis includes duplicate homeowners insurance charges for both XXXX XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX despite only XXXX active policy. This further inflates the escrow requirement and my payment. Under RESPA ( 12 C.F.R.…

Due to their internal corporate computer migration, I was locked out of my online account and unable to view my statements or pay online. On Friday, XX/XX/XXXX, I contacted NewRez proactively to make my payment. NewRez staff flatly refused my explicit requests to go over the permanent modification contract terms with me, pressured me by stating it was an urgent emergency, and forced me to sign via DocuSign while I was away on vacation.

I submitted a written dispute and request for debt validation to the company regarding this account. After receiving my correspondence, the company acknowledged in writing that its investigation had not been completed and advised me that it needed an additional 30 days to complete its research and provide a response. I relied on that representation and waited in good faith. More than three months have now passed. Although the company later mailed copies of certain documents, it never provided a final written determination addressing the issues raised in my dispute. Specifically, I have not been informed whether the investigation has been completed, whether my dispute was accepted or denied, or the factual basis for its conclusions regarding the issues I raised. Instead of providing a final written response, the company has continued sending collection and settlement letters while my dispute remains unresolved.…
On XX/XX/year>, I contacted my mortgage company regarding a disbursement made from our escrow account to a party other than our county tax authority. My initial inquiry was conducted through an online chat with a representative, who informed me that the payment had been issued to a third party and provided a document explaining the transaction. Unfortunately, I was unable to save the document. The representative advised that I would need to call customer service for additional information regarding why the payment was made and why we had not been notified by phone, email, mail, or any other form of communication. When I subsequently called, I was told that the payment had been made directly to the county. However, I have confirmed with the county on multiple occasions that they did not receive an overpayment and have no record of any excess funds related to our account. Since then, I have contacted the mortgage company several more times in an effort to obtain clarification.…
I am filing this complaint because Shellpoint Mortgage Servicing improperly included a prepayment penalty in my mortgage payoff statement even though the contractual prepayment penalty period had already expired. My mortgage loan contained a prepayment penalty that was limited to the first XXXX ( XXXX ) years of the loan. After the expiration of that period, no prepayment penalty was authorized under the loan agreement. When I refinanced my mortgage, Shellpoint issued a payoff statement that included a prepayment penalty despite the fact that the three-year restriction had already expired. Because the refinance could not close without paying the amount demanded by Shellpoint, I was forced to pay the improper charge under protest. I contacted Shellpoint and disputed the payoff amount, explaining that the prepayment penalty was no longer valid under the terms of my loan.…
