  I have two sets of emails from the same person : one set was sent to my tenant requesting his documents sent back to a general doc email, diverted away from the senders actual email. She has no documents from him in her email therefore it’s plausible that there was no response EXCEPT when compared to another set of emails document request isn’t diverted, even her last name is included. Eviction diversion emailed me saying my tenant requested assistance and landlords weren’t required to fill out an application , just sign the agreement and agree to dismiss the active eviction. 3 months later I didn’t qualify because there was no active eviction case. It says on the website there must be an open case yet all the email info led me to believe exactly opposite.
  For my tenant he had already sent proof of income to the diverted email (it’s on the website) and resent it after the encrypted email was found.He also communicated with another person who said since he had ssi, he had to provide the award letter. A paper printed from his bank was refused, a handwritten statement as well a copy of his banking app because screenshots were unacceptable but then told the full statement was acceptable.Two days later he was denied for “no response” for 3 specific dates of attempted contact (2 dates coincided with emails sent to him but he responded to the diverted email—just like ******* asked him to do. ) therefore when his application is denied, she can show where she sent AND HE OPENED encrypted emails but that he didn’t respond! This is funded by us treasury under **** which specifically says not to use documents or lack of documents or lack of technology or being old and poor as a means to disqualify applicants. Three different documents were refused and in the appeal was called fraud because he got it right finally. There are so many gross abuse of power plus discrimination on him for being disabled. The goal isn’t to help - it’s to deny then say you can’t apply for a year

  The tenant who initially applied on October 16, 2024 under the Kentucky Eviction Diversion Program, ******* ******, was denied assistance because KHC was unable to establish contact with the tenant to verify tenancy and the tenant failed to provide documentation necessary for application processing, which is required by program guidelines. KHC received an appeal on December 2, 2024. KHC received the requested income verification documentation and re-opened the application for further review. KHC staff then made multiple attempts to contact the tenant and were unsuccessful. One issue was that the email address provided in the application belonged to the landlord, Michelle Cooper, not the tenant. KHC discovered that communications KHC attempted to make to both the landlord and the tenant were only going to the landlord, and the landlord was communicating to KHC as the tenant, and KHC was still unable to establish correspondence with the tenant. Based on this, the application was denied due to suspected fraudulent activity. A second appeal was filed on December 10, 2024, and KHC was provided documentation showing that the tenant paid the landlord a partial rental payment on 10/6/24. The landlord also provided documentation that the full amount of rent was paid in November and December. The acceptance of partial payment and the November and December payments by the landlord essentially constituted a waiver of the landlord's right to evict. Because there was not active eviction court case as is required by the Program, the second appeal was denied. As of March 12, 2025, KHC has received another application in the name of ******* ******. KHC staff are performing due diligence and attempting to reach the tenant to confirm the submission of the application and details of the tenancy. KHC is in the process of processing the application and intends to do so in accordance with Program guidelines to ensure accurate application processing.

  *** ***** contacted our Mortgage Servicing Compliance
  Officer via email on Saturday, February 8, 2025, regarding the same issue
  indicated in the complaint.  We contacted
  *** ***** on Monday, February 10, 2025.
  
  The issue was *** ***** received his Annual Escrow Analysis
  indicating his payment was increasing due to a shortage and deficiency in his
  escrow account caused by a significant increase to his property taxes in
  2024.  As this was the first time he
  experienced a significant increase to his escrow payment, he was not familiar
  with how to read the Escrow Analysis and did not realize the increased payment
  was solely due to escrow items and not permanent for the remainder of the loan
  term.
  
  KHC’s Mortgage Servicing Compliance Officer explained the
  Escrow Analysis in detail to *** *****, and he now understands how it
  works.  *** ***** indicated he would have
  a difficult time paying the increased payment amount.  Options to lessen the financial impact caused
  by the escrow shortage and deficiency were discussed and a resolution was
  reached to spread the shortage and deficiency over 36 months.  *** ***** was satisfied with this resolution
  and the call ended mutually.

  I reduced the amount of insurance on my home in July 2024. The reduction should've resulted in a drop in mortgage payment. I sent the new policy to Kentucky Housing Corporation escrow department in July after the changes were made. I noticed my mortgage payment increased starting in February 2025. I reached out to the escrow department because they didn't make any changes to my escrow despite being sent the new policy. I then faxed them a copy of the Declaration Page today January 27, 2025 and also called to have the escrow reanalyzed to fix the issue. I was informed they wouldn't analyze my escrow unless I submitted the refund check issued to me by my mortgage company after adjusting the coverage amount on my home. I will be in surplus with the new payment regardless of sending them the refund check. I simply want the escrow fixed, and legally they have to analyze the account once a year.

  *** ***** contacted KHC on 1/27/2025 with questions
  regarding an increase to her payment caused by her escrow.  *** ***** advised that she had sent
  information to KHC regarding an updated Homeowners Insurance premium in July
  2024 via email to the Escrow Department email address indicated on our website.  KHC received an email from *** ***** but the
  updated policy was not attached or verification that there was a reduction in
  the premium costs. KHC has no other record of *** ***** trying to contact KHC.
  
  KHC’s standard process is to ask borrowers to provide a copy
  of their insurance declaration page and advise them to return any overage refunds
  from the insurance company to be placed back in their escrow account to prevent
  any escrow shortages. The representative *** ***** spoke with on 1/27/2025
  provided the standard information provided to customers in these types of
  situations.  The representative was not
  aware that the borrower had a lower insurance premium for the last 6 months and
  other appropriate steps needed to be taken.
  
  KHC has updated the borrower’s homeowner’s insurance amount,
  reanalyzed the account , identified an escrow surplus, and mailed a refund
  check to the borrower this week. The monthly payment was updated to reflect the
  new payment amount effective 3/1/2025. KHC attempted to reach *** ***** by
  phone on 2/11/2025 to discuss the resolution, however were unsuccessful. An
  email was sent on 2/11/2025 explaining the steps taken on her account with a
  copy of the updated Escrow Analysis.  She
  was also advised to email KHC’s Mortgage Servicing Compliance Officer if she
  had any questions or concerns.

  In 2007 i obtained a mortgage for a home . I was offered a special grant to help low income get housing. The grant for $5,000.00 to pay for closing cost, I was very thankful.
  When COVID rocked the country, i like many others got laid off work. KHC enrolled me into a forbearance program. This allowed me to get through COVID without worry of losing my home.
  when my regular payments resumed things were still hard. i came close to being in default, but managed to make payment to stop that from happening.
  this is when i decided to sell my home of 17 years. i paid about $110,000.00. I sold the house for $275,000.00. Ii put about $30k into the house to get it sell ready.
  At closing i was shocked to learn my payoff for the property i sold was more then i paid for the house. I was told the payoff was $80k or so about 2 months prevouisly. I close under duress due to money and debt issues. when i called KHC to inquire. i was told that i was not in the forbearance program but some other program. so for the months i thought i was in the first program, but one that charged me late fees and interest for like 30 months. i feel as if the old bait and switch was used on me.
  So i received 29k+ less then i should have. FRAUD, I HAVE THE RECEIPTS

  Re: Kentucky Housing Corporation Response – **** ******** Better Business Bureau Complaint # ********

  *** ******** is a borrower whose mortgage loan is serviced by Kentucky Housing Corporation. In 2022, the account went into default when the July mortgage loan payment was returned for insufficient funds. The loan was reinstated in August 2022.

  In April 2024, *** ******** contacted KHC and inquired about obtaining a lower payment.  She was transferred to our Loss Mitigation Department and was sent a Loss Mitigation Application. 

  The application was received and deemed complete on 4/22/2024.  The application was reviewed, a loss mitigation option was approved, and the option was sent to *** ******** on 5/9/2024. 

  *** ******** was offered a Loan Modification which included a Partial Claim after the completion of a 3-month Trial Period Plan at a reduced payment amount.  *** ******** accepted this offer of a loss mitigation option by returning the signed Trial Payment Agreement on 5/20/2024.

  *** ******** completed her trial payments on 9/3/2024. 

  On 9/4/2024, *** ******** called KHC to discuss her credit report.

  On 9/19/2024, ****** ******** reached out to *** ******** explaining the loss mitigation option in detail, however *** ******** indicated she was confused.  After a lengthy phone call, *** ******** stated that she understood the option but refused it indicating she did not want the partial claim.  *** ******** was advised that she could pay the difference between the Trial Period Plan payment and the original mortgage loan amount to reinstate the loan without loss mitigation intervention. On 9/23/2024, *** ******** contacted ****** ******** again, indicating *** ******** did not understand why she had to pay the additional amount necessary to reinstate the mortgage.  The option and payments made during the Trial Period Plan were explained to her again. *** ******** indicated she understood and would call on 9/26/2024 to make the payment. On 9/24/2024, *** ******** again called in indicating she did not understand.  ****** ******** explained the situation to *** ******** again.  On 9/25/24, *** ******** left a voicemail for ****** ******** indicating a cashier check was sent and would arrive on 9/26/2024.  The payment to reinstate the loan was received on 9/26/2024 and posted on 9/27/2024 bringing the account current and due for 10/1/2024.  The loss mitigation option was closed out on 9/27/2024 because *** ******** had refused it.

  Kentucky Housing Corporation (KHC) is mailing the attached letter to the complainant today, October 9, 2024. The complainant submit their August 2024 payment online at 5:46 pm Central Time (6:46 EST) on 8/30/2024. This was after the KHC payment cutoff time of 4:30 pm EST for the month end. The confirmation provided in the complaint shows that it was to be processed on 8/31/24, this was a non business day, as it was a weekend day, Saturday. Weekends and holidays are not considered business days, therefore the payment did not post to the account until the next business day on 9/3/2024 due to the Labor Day holiday. KHC has submit a correction to the credit bureaus as a courtesy to the complainant.

  I have been with this organization for over 2 years and when I have scheduled payments for my mortgage loans through their online portal if I attempt to schedule them again it only presents me with the option to view those scheduled payments as opposed to still allowing my the option to schedule a payment. I thought I had scheduled the payments, but when I checked my bank account on the day they should've been scheduled (16th), I noticed that I had not been charged, so I checked my email for receipt of the payments I thought I had scheduled and did not see any. I then checked the online portal for the aforementioned option to view scheduled payments, but it instead presented me with the option to schedule the payments. I then of course did so, because by all accounts it looked as though I had mistakenly not done so. I noticed on the 22nd that I had odd charges on my bank statement and when I looked further I saw that I had been charged $65.70 twice for my DAP loan and I had two denied charges for $1538.18. I thought that maybe the system had messed up and attempted to charge me twice. I also was now being charged a late fee with the total payment requested being $1619.29. I called Kentucky Housing Corporation today (7/24), and when they looked into it they said that I had scheduled two payments. When I explained how that's odd how it allowed me to do so when it had not done so in the prior period of time period of 2 years and 3 months they essentially said "oh well", and made no attempt to rectify the software failure that occurred allowing me to schedule the 2nd set of payments. I asked to be escalated to a manger who they told me would just say the same thing. They did so and when I asked to be escalated again she then told me that they would say the same thing and that it didn't matter and it could just sit on my account and hung up on me.

  Was placed in temporary housing in park city ky by Glasgow housing authority while waiting for apartment with them in the city of Glasgow. I was only in the Park city location for 4 month's then they had my apartment in Glasgow ready. It has been 3 months now and I still have not gotten my deposit back. Have made several attempts to get it by contacting them. They only tell me it's being processed. 3 month's is plenty of time to process I was only there for 4 months. I paid a second seperate deposit for the Glasgow location. The apartment was left clean and no damage. I am a disabled veteran and a senior, I live on a fixed income and could use my money back.
