  Dear Better Business Bureau,I am writing to formally file a complaint against Mr. ****** regarding an inaccurate late payment report on my credit history. LOAN NUMBER ********* During December, 2024, an error occurred in which Mr. ****** mistakenly paid for both of my insurance policies, which left me unable to make my mortgage payment on time. This was an isolated incident beyond my control, and as soon as I was able, I brought my account to a payment plan which took 1-2 months and have remained on track with all payments since ******* a result of this single late payment, my credit score dropped by nearly 100 points, significantly affecting my financial standing. I have always taken my credit and financial responsibilities seriously and have since implemented automatic payments to ensure this situation never happens again.Given my strong payment history and the unique nature of this situation, I have formally requested that Mr. ****** remove the late payment as a goodwill adjustment to help restore my credit standing. However, my request has not been acknowledged or addressed appropriately.I am seeking the BBB's assistance in resolving this matter and ensuring that Mr. ****** takes the necessary steps to correct my credit report. I believe this request is reasonable given the circumstances, and I hope to find a fair resolution through your support.Please let me know if you require any additional information. I appreciate your time and assistance.Sincerely,**** ******

  Complaint: 22966254
  

  I am writing in response to your letter regarding my concerns about the financial assistance process and its impact on my credit score. My credit scored dropped more than 100 points and I would like some resolution or mediation. My ********** says I was not delinquent in November and I have been paying since Jan. ******* my credit report says my payment status is ***** days late. While I appreciate the clarification on my escrow account, insurance payments, and Partial Claim approval, I am disputing the negative credit reporting that occurred during the trial period while my application was still under review.

  
  It is my understanding that trial payment plans are meant to provide financial relief, and participation in such a program should not unfairly penalize borrowers seeking assistance. The credit reporting of my loans delinquency during this period appears to have directly contributed to a decline in my credit score, making it more difficult for me to manage my financial situation.

  
  Given that I have complied with all required trial payments and have acted in good faith to resolve my financial hardship, I request the following actions be taken:
  Removal or Adjustment of Negative Credit Reporting  I request that any negative marks reported during my trial period be reconsidered, as they do not accurately reflect my commitment to resolving the issue.

  
  Clarification of Reporting Practices  I would like a detailed explanation of why my account was reported as delinquent while I was actively engaged in a lender-approved assistance program.

  
  Confirmation of Credit Impact After Completing the Plan  I would appreciate written confirmation that once I successfully complete the trial period and my loan modification is finalized, my credit standing will not continue to be negatively impacted.
  I hope to resolve this matter amicably and look forward to your prompt response.
  
  Sincerely,
  
  ****** ******

  At the time of requesting assistance, your loan was due for the November 1, 2024, monthly payment. The trial plan was approved on December 9, 2024, with the first trial payment due on January 1, 2025. You completed your trial payments on January 10, 2025, February 17, 2025, and March 11, 2025. As such, the reporting file that was sent to the credit agencies on the last day of January 2025 for the month of December 2024 was reported as 60 days past due and entered into a partial payment agreement as required. On the last day of February 2025, we reported for the month of January 2024 as 90 days past due and continuing with a partial payment agreement. February 2025 reporting will be sent on the last day of March 2025, will be sent showing the partial payment agreement. At this time, Mr. ****** is working to have the final modification agreement drawn up and sent to you. It will be sent out via ***************. We ask that you review and execute the document following the instructions that will be included, and then send it back to us in its entirety. Once received, the executed documents will be reviewed for accuracy and then we will complete the modification process. We ask you to continue making a monthly payment each month for the trial payment amount until the modification is complete.

  Once the modification has been completed, the loan will be moved to a current status. Provided you continue to make the modified payments within the month they are due, Mr. ****** will begin to report the current modified monthly payments as timely. It is important to note that credit reporting files are sent to the credit reporting agencies 1 month in arrears. For example, the March 2025 reporting file will be sent on the last day of April 2025.

  I am rejecting this response because:

  I appreciate your detailed response dated March 18, 2025. However, after careful consideration, I must formally dispute the accuracy and fairness of the credit reporting practices outlined in your response.

  According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA), credit information must be reported accurately, fairly, and substantiated. While I acknowledge the trial plan was initiated on December 9, 2024, it is crucial to emphasize that my account's delinquency status was primarily due to an administrative error caused by Mr. ****** erroneously processing duplicate insurance payments from my escrow account. This error directly impacted my ability to remain current, which clearly establishes mitigating circumstances beyond my control.
  
  Furthermore, under guidelines from the ************************************ (****), participation in a lender-approved financial hardship or modification program typically should not result in punitive credit reporting if the borrower complies fully with the conditions of the trial period. Given that my adherence to the trial payment schedule has been timely and consistent from January through March 2025, the credit reports reflecting a ***** day delinquency appear both unjustified and punitive.
  
  To rectify this, I respectfully request:
  Immediate reconsideration and removal of the negative credit marks reported during the trial payment period (December 2024 February 2025), as this inaccurately portrays my financial responsibility and undermines the intent of the loan modification process.
  A detailed legal clarification outlining the rationale behind classifying my payments as delinquent despite compliance with a lender-approved repayment plan. This clarification should include explicit references to applicable federal guidelines or industry-standard practices justifying this decision.
  Written assurance that upon the completion and execution of the final modification agreement, my credit history will reflect timely payments, accurately restoring my credit standing without further negative implications stemming from this administrative error.
  

  Your prompt attention to addressing these matters is greatly appreciated. My intention remains to resolve this matter amicably; however, adherence to fairness and compliance with applicable regulations is imperative
  
  Sincerely,
  
  ****** ******

  My husband and I made a mortgage payment using the same routing code and account number from our checking that we always do. We received message from Lakeview Mortgage thanking us for the payment. I have been monitoring our checking account and the funds are available but not taken out. They are stating that there was some sort of error which there was not it was the same information we always use and it mayimpact a late fee and possibly credit bureau reporting this is the second time this has happened. I called my checking account Navy Federal. They assured me funds were available at the time they were presented to Lakeview. I do not want Lakeview to present any negative reports to our credit bureau. I do not want any late fees, associated with some errorin there processing.

  The late fee assessed in June 2024 is valid as the first payment attempt was made after the ***** period of 15 calendar days after the due date. The fee was paid on July 22, 2024. 

  A mortgage payment is considered late, for credit reporting purposes, if the payment is not received in full by the end of the month in which it is ****** the June 2024 payment was not received within the month it was due, it was reported as 30-days late.
  
  Pertaining to the second payment, a one-time draft was processed online effective February 10, 2025, to satisfy the February 2025 payment. The payment was returned unpaid on February 13, 2025, as the account number and/or routing number provided were invalid. A letter was mailed to your attention on February 13, 2025, advising that the payment was reversed, and the bank account number was removed from our system due to invalid account information. The funds received on February 18, 2025, were applied to the February 2025 payment. There was no fee assessed in February 2025. 

  We received your credit dispute in July 2024, and the results of that dispute were conveyed in the denial letter dated August 9, 2024. The February 2025 payment will not be reported as 30-days late unless the payment applied on February 18, 2025, does not clear your bank account.

  In July 2023 my home mortgage was transferred from Prosperity mortgage to Lakeview subserviced by *************. My loan was originally $2,126.24 but on 10/18/2023 an analysis was done. I dont understand why another analysis was done so quickly. This would cause my mortgage to decrease to $1,664.38 and leaving a surplus left of $5,002.16. I honestly didnt think anything was wrong, but this would eventually cause a huge hardship for me. On 10/162024 ************* did another analysis which showed a shortage of $10,826.85. They raised my mortgage from $1,664.38 to $3,003.43 and notified me that my mortgage would be transferred again to Lakeview subserviced by Mr. ****** on December 1st. This payment increase would cause great hardship for me so I called Flagstar and asked if something could be done to help me with the payments. They originally tried to spread the payment out over 36 months, but Lakeview would not agree but they did agree to 24 months which brought my new mortgage payment to $2,513.64. This new payment has caused great hardship on me, leaving me short on other household essential bills. ******** said the shortage was due to county taxes going up. According to Clayton County my taxes did not change much. In 2023 they were $4,074.41 and in 2024 they were $4,367.39. My mortgage had just started in July of 2023 with Prosperity. I believe somebody in the ***************** of ************* and the changing of different mortgage companies caused a confusion of what my taxes really were. I should not be penalized for someone elses errors, and I have been consistently paying my mortgage on time every month. I would like Escrow shortage to be moved at the back end of my mortgage and have my payments modified for this error.

  Lakeview Loan Servicing, LLC (Lakeview) is in receipt of the recent concern (and/or request) filed by ****** ****** through the BBB. Please accept this as Lakeviews written response to the complaint. Lakeview takes these matters very seriously. Lakeview is a reputable lender and master servicer who will work in good faith to resolve any misunderstandings with a borrower, as we always want to provide excellent customer service.
  
  ********************** owns the master servicer rights (MSR) for this loan, however, Lakeview contracts with several different servicers who perform the day-to-day servicing for all our mortgage loans. In this instance, LoanCare is subservicing this loan on Lakeviews behalf. Upon receipt of this complaint, Lakeview started an immediate investigation with the servicer ******** in order to assist with obtaining a resolution for the customer. ********************** apologize for any challenges the customer may have experienced with ********.
  
  ********** Summary
  Please see Mr. ******* response letter attached.
  On 12/9/2024 the new loan servicer Mr. ****** sent a Welcome Letter to the customer advising the loan was due for 12/01/2024. An annual escrow analysis was generated which reflected a monthly payment of $2,251.53 and a shortage amount of $10,484.98. A second escrow analysis was generated which reflected a spread over 24-months.
  
  It is important to note that a review of the prior servicer documents, loan history and escrow statements detailed the customers concerns regarding the increase in the monthly payment. The prior servicer records reflect that in October 2024, the customer was informed of the significant shortage which was due to an increase in the amounts billed for both taxes and insurance. ********* confirmed that the property was a new build, and the amount of the year 2023 assessment was based on land only. Mr. ****** confirmed the annual analysis resulted in a surplus amount of $5,002.16 and this was disbursed back to the borrower as required.
  
  ********* research confirmed that the prior servicer comments shows that the customer was advised of the option to apply for loss mitigation due to hardship reported by the customer. No evidence of an approved workout solution was found upon servicing transfer.
  
  ********* contacted the customer on 02/24/2025 and discussed their escrow account in detail. Also, the customer was advised that regarding their request to move the escrow shortage to the back end of the mortgage and modify the payment, it is important to note that a loss mitigation offer is based on lender guidance and that Mr. ****** is unable to negotiate the terms of a loss mitigation offer.
  
  An application for mortgage assistance was emailed to the customer along with the resolution email to their concerns.
  
  We do apologize for any difficulty the customer encountered while attempting to resolve their concerns. We trust this is responsive to the complaint and provides the necessary information for the BBB to review. Should the BBB need anything further, please contact Mr. ******* customer service team at ************ or you are also welcome to contact Lakeview, per my contact information below.  We are here to help assist and appreciate the partnership.  Thank you.

  Lakeview ************ has Increased home mortgage payment to $2722.16 monthly from $2530.53. They claimed the raise in home owners insurance is the reason for increase in monthly payment. I called and spoke with my insurance company and she made me aware the we did have an increase, which was affecting most individuals nation wide. The increase was for $867.00 for the year, she stated your mortgage should only increase by $72.25 monthly. She advised to call Lakeview and speak with someone to question the $119.38 dollar increase after deducting the known increase of $72.25. The Lakeview service department is beyond a disgrace to provide public service with concerns voiced by their customer's, I called multiple times over a week with no answer and was told someone would contact me whom could discuss my concern. Friday 02/07/25 I finally spoke with two individuals that listened and attempted to help me reach someone that could investigate my concern further. They both were with customer service, but got me connected over to the escrow department. I finally was able to speak with an individual that had access to the full account. While on the phone she reviewed our account and stated the additional charges was backpay from the previous year. She stated out escrow account was balance was less than it should be so we were being charged with all the back payment. Payment in February 23' was decreased from $2539.83 to $2530.30. The insurance company made Lakeview aware the insurance was going up from $1760 in 23' to $2670 24'. Lakeview never adjusted in ******************************************* insurance until February 2025. The ***************** was rude and dismissive, during our conversation she signed and huffed the entire time. I did not understand why the amount was not adjusted and we were responsible for error in the escrow department not making sure the payment was adjusted. She hung the phone up on me while I was speaking. I need help to correct.

  I am rejecting this response because I have tried to contact a ***** ******** **************** of the Customer) which I was directed to prior to receiving this email from BBB. I have left two separate voicemails with Mrs ******** and her direct associate but have yet to receive a return phone call. The letter that I received is very unclear and contradicting. The letter also states that the new Escrow premium they received and forwarded to me on on August 24, 2023 was actually short but no adjustments were made and then again they received notice that the Escrow premium was increasing on Feb 15th 2024 which should have increased our mortgage payment but instead our mortgage payment remained the same. 
  

  So at this time I am not satisfied with the way this company has responded or the lack of responding with the appropriate explanation of the events that took place and why we are responsible for the mistakes that were made.
  

  Please advise me of what I need to do from here.

  Bought my home through *************** Loan Servicing March 2024. It then got transferred to Lakeview Loan Servicing around August 2024, sub serviced by *************. Due to hurricane ******, we received forbearance for Oct-December 2024 for damage to our property not filed with insurance. We opted into the forbearance under the impression and promise by Lakeview that we would have a) no late fees during the forbearance period and b) we would not have to pay the entire amount owed until the end of the period. Around Thanksgiving, end of Nov, we started receiving letters in the mail from Lakeview stating we were late on payments and $83.35 late fees would start to incur if we did not pay the entire amount, despite being in a forbearance period, as we were waiting on reimbursements and aid. Then, at the same exact time, we received a letter stating that our escrow account had been given an analysis and that our mortgage was going up to $3,998.75. I immediately called the company, to wish there was no reply, and I had to call multiple times before I was finally able to get a department to help me. I called Lakeview, my insurance company, and my title company as well as my broker because I kept getting different answers from everyone, but everyone I called pointed me back to Lakeview stating that there must be an issue on their end for an escrow shortage to be $14,000, and that either way, we were not responsible for paying that. I have been calling them since November and now our mortgage has gone up to $4102.46 and I have yet to received a reason as to WHY. Nobody in any department can tell me why this is or where the shortage came from. 12/26/2024 they even admitted that there was an inaccurate insurance reporting and taxes were not updating on my account. As of 1/39/2025, this is still the case, and everytime I call, we receive a letter stating our mortgage has increased again, with no explanation.

  I am requesting for executive review of the proceedings for loan **********, which will be also escalated to Better Business Bureau and a litigator. I contacted Lakeview for debt payoff and home renovation repair. After multiple iteration of the loan, the loan was finalized for $560,000 with a pay off of accounts of ********** and cash out of $110,000. The cash out was decreased to cover all of the debts to *********. Upon receipts of the checks, three accounts were omitted for payment without a discussion, my knowledge, or agreement. When I requested for this to be paid, I was informed that they decided to omit those accounts, arbitrarily. The proceedings have been fraught with unethical proceedings and no communication.

  Re: Response for File No. ******** Complainant: Ms. ****** *********** Loan# xxxx8737, Lakeview Concern ID#***** 
  
  Lakeview Loan Servicing, LLC (Lakeview) is in receipt of the recent concern (and/or request) filed by Ms. ****** *********** through the BBB. Please accept this as Lakeviews written response to the complaint. Lakeview takes these matters very seriously. Lakeview is a reputable lender and master servicer who will work in good faith to resolve any misunderstandings with a borrower, as we always want to provide excellent customer service.
  
  Upon receipt of this complaint, Lakeview started an immediate investigation with our Originations Oversight Team to assist with obtaining a resolution for the customer. ********************** apologizes for any challenges the customer may have experienced with the refinance process.
  
  On January 10, 2025, the attached closing disclosure was forwarded to the borrowers that included the three debts targeted for payment. The three debts were eventually removed and remain unpaid. The fulfillment team was required to update the higher balances on a few other accounts prior to the final closing disclosure being shared with the borrowers. (See attached) 

  One January 15, 2025, an email from the refinance management team confirmed that the corrected closing disclosure with the final figures was forwarded to the borrowers. The closing disclosure dated for 01/16/2025, outlines the debts amounts to be satisfied and the borrowers cash back in the amount of $95,796.73. The assigned processing agent confirmed that the borrower acknowledged the closing disclosure prior to their closing date of 01/18/2025,thus allowing the borrowers twenty-four hours for review before signing.During the 24-hour period it is the responsibility of the borrower to advise any errors found before the actual closing. (See attached)

  We confirmed with the refinance team that the processor had conversation with the borrower and discussed the debts to be paid off and why the cash to the borrowers would be less, due to some of the account balances having increased. The processor also explained the rate, loan amount, cash due to the borrower, debt to be paid at closing, and monthly payment.
  
  We trust this is responsive to the complaint and provides the necessary information for the BBB to review. Should the Better Business Bureau need anything further, you are also welcome to contact Lakeview, per my contact information below. We are here to help assist and appreciate the partnership.

  Company does not have a live human representative to speak with regarding account email updates. I need to interact with someone who can up date my email account.

  It is impossible to talk to a representative and get help with trying to figure out where my previous months payments went. Calls to my phone show as spam and have been getting automatically blocked.
