    I reached out to this company regarding some funds I overpaid on a previous mortgage and was notified about. After confirming identity and provided all needed information I was given a thirty day window to receive the funds back. after over two months I was told I would not receive the funds but would have to reach out to the state to get them.

    Caliber owned our home loan until they sold it in Sept. 2023. I have tried for weeks to get a 1098 sent to me, there seems to be no contact information online since Caliber seemingly sold it merged with another company. The website only has the 2022 1098. And Everytime I call the customer service number it takes me to a different office that can't pull up my account. I have been promised 4 different times that someone will figure it out and email me the tax form, but it never happens. So here I am again, spending more hours on the phone today trying to figure it out. I had to file an extension on my taxes as well. Yes, caliber may have mailed a copy in January, but between surgeries and having a baby if it came, it must have been misplaced and I've been unable to find it.

    My husband and I are both on the loan. 

    I am ************************* (6-22-93), my husband is *************************** (5-21-86).

    I have been on the phone with NewRez and promised I would get the records sent to me within 24 hours, and 5 time I have received nothing. Every single time, it is 30 minutes of me giving them information, and them not being able to assist me because they cannot find my account, and then it is escalated, and I never hear from them again. Each week I try again. I have spent 20+ hours working on this, AND had to file an extension because I have gotten nowhere with this.

    I am trying to get in touch with Caliber, who was the previous holder of my home loan. They sold the loan to a new company, that went into effect October 1, 2023. I have not received a 1098 tax form from Caliber, and the one I received from my new loan company only has the information for October-Dec 2023. I am not able to access anything about my prior loan on Caliber's website, and there is no way to get in touch with a customer service representative via their "Contact Us" options. Because I don't have a current loan with them, the system hangs up on me. I need to figure out how to get my 1098 information for taxes from them.I need a person to talk to or email I can get a response from.

    The business should still have some kind of option for previous loan holders to reach a person for issues such as these. Their current phone system hangs up on you if you don't have a current loan with them by phone number, social security number, or loan number. So it was near impossible for me to get a resolution to this through trying to contact them directly. I also saw no option for email communication on their website.

    Cannot reach customer service via the phone number they listed online and on my escrow statements no matter what I do. I've looked up and tried multiple numbers and none work; will not let me out of automated system. My loan was transferred in Oct. 2023 and I need to speak to someone to get proof of what I paid to my homeowner's insurance via escrow, as they are saying I underpaid. This is unacceptable to treat past customers this way, with no way to speak to a human.

    Caliber Home Loans what appears to be a print out of their own internal records. However, as i originally stated there was an error with the autodraft for that Month that was correct when i called support.
