I was recently under Bankruptcy Protection and incident occurred where a payment was not applied to my mortgage on 4/13/2023 stated. By Mr.Cooper but was not informed to My attorney or myself, in light of the situation, Mr.Cooper waited until I was discharged from Bankruptcy Court to address the issue. I paid my mortgage after being discharged from Bankruptcy Court starting 6/01/2023 , I started paying my mortgage directly to the lender and after several payments they took my payment on 09/28:2023 and applied to the mortgage payment for 4/13/2023 that was under Bankruptcy Protection, The money for that payment is in Bankruptcy Court as unclaimed funds they are supposed to be in the process of claiming the funds but no action has been taken, but they are penalizing me by charging me late fees and showing my October payment as unpaid, but they took my payment and applied it to a bankruptcy payment that I paid through deductions on my job while working with ************************, so they are making me pay twice for a debit that I had no knowledge of and should have been addressed before my Bankruptcy Case discharged. Mr. Cooper did not Notify , the proper parties of this incident but are now taking my money without my permission or knowledge until 9/28/2023 which isnt right because I was protected by law by Bankruptcy Court. Therefore my mortgage history shows delinquent because of their failure to properly investigate this matter while my bankruptcy case was still active. I need my money applied to my mortgage and late fees waived because this negligence on Mr.Cooper not myself. Thank you for any assistance you can provide. Thank youBusiness Response

My mortgage payment was taken by Mr.Cooper. and applied to my bankruptcy payment without my consent. A check from Bankruptcy Court was sent to unclaimed funds and has been sitting in ** Bankruptcy Funds sense 04/13/2023 without Bankruptcy Court or Mr. Cooper informing me or my Attorney that the money was missing. So after three months of my Bankruptcy case being dismissed, they came and took my mortgage payment on September 28/2023 and applied to the missing payment that was not claimed in ***** and applied my October payment to that months payment for ***** leaving my mortgage payment delinquent and I reached out to Bankruptcy Court and they refunded the money to Mr. Cooper and they have yet to apply the payment to the account to bring it current. Im stressing about the fact that its going to affect my credit score and this entire situation is so unfair to me, I believe its racism because I feel if I was Caucasian this would have been resolved and not *********** months to resolve this problem.

There was a settlement agreement between the insurance company "SafePoint" and us, the insurance company mailed a check to us for $22575 after the settlement agreement was signed and assigned. The repairs were done 12 month before (Oct 2022) the settlement agreement. Proof of repairs including *********** inspection documents were provided to the mortgage company for check endorsement so we can get our money back. The Mortgage company Mr. Cooper is refusing to return the endorse check and have been held the check for the last 2 weeks saying that there is not enough proof; after submitting all legal and compliance documents in existence. I requested an inspection from them to be send to our property for them to rectify that the repairs were done under compliance. They still haven't done so. They havent call me back and I had to call already more than 10 times without any resolution. In addition, eveytime I call I have to sart all over again. I paid $16000 our of my pocket a year ago to repair ( a brand new roof was done to replace the older one) and I want legitimately my money back from my settlement agreement.Business Response

In February of 2023 I was contacted by my mortgage company and they asked if I wanted to go on a short term payment plan so that I could catch up on the month that I was behind. Agreed and they increased my payment 1/6th the amount to cover the missing payment. Nearing the end of the payment arrangement they contacted me and told me that there was an escrow shortage and that my payment would be going up. They said they would let me know at a later time. About a month later they said my payment would be going up from **** to **** to cover the shortage. All the while still reporting me late to the credit bureau. I advised them something isn't right. I did some digging on my own and found out that they paid taxes on the property next to mine that I did not own. I was being charged for 2 school taxes and 2 County taxes on the sum of ***** in escrow shortage. I contacted them and they vehemently argued that the address next door was where I lived and I absolutely owed those taxes. I contacted them consistently complaining for them to fix this and conduct a new escrow analysis to no avail. I would like for them to reset my payment back to the **** what it was before the payment arrangement, show my account current and stop the foreclosure. They have admitted that the 3rd party payment company has received the money back from the tax office and they were waiting to be notified that they received it. They have conducted a new escrow analysis and it is still showing the ****** shortage and a new payment of ****. This is still incorrect. I have virtually no other issues on my credit report other than a few late payments this is totally unacceptable not to mention when I just tried to call them to discuss, I was hung up on by the representative and the automated service. I believe this company is attempting to steal my propert by putting me into foreclosure. Also, I am current with 2023 taxes.Business Response

Dear ***************************:
Thank you for reaching out to us.
We received your correspondence from the Better Business Bureau (BBB) on October 23, 2023. After an investigation, we are sharing with you what we found.
Property Taxes
In your correspondence, you stated that in February 2023, you were contacted by Mr. Cooper and asked if you wanted to go on a short term payment plan so that you could catch up on the month that you were behind. You also stated that Mr. Cooper told you that your payment would be going up from $1,760.00 to $2,900.00 to cover an escrow shortage, all while still reporting you late to the credit bureau. You further stated that you found out that Mr. Cooper paid taxes on the wrong property next to yours that you do not own. As stated in the correspondence dated November 3, 2023 previously sent to you through the Consumer Financial ***************** (CFPB), please be assured your trust and business are very important to us and your positive experience is our first priority. However, on October 31, 2023, Mr. Cooper became the target of a cyber security incident and took immediate steps to lock down our systems in order to keep your data safe.
Review of the account determined that you spoke with a Mr. Cooper agent on September 6, 2023 regarding the taxes paid for your account. The agent submitted a request to our ***************** to review the loan for any necessary corrections.
The review was completed on September 14, 2023 and it was determined that Mr. Cooper received an incorrect parcel number for the property at the time the loan boarded our servicing platform on September 2, 2021. As a result, the ***************** updated the account with the correct parcel number of ********* and requested a refund in the amount of $11,037.04 from the county.
At the time of the previous correspondence dated November 3, 2023 previously sent to you, we were working to advance a credit in the amount of $11,037.04 back to the escrow account as we were still pending a refund from the county of the funds that were previously disbursed. On October 31, 2023, funds in the amount of $11,037.04 were deposited into the escrow account. Therefore, an off-cycle escrow analysis was generated on November 10, 2023 as our systems became available and will be sent to you under separate cover. Effective January 1, ****, the monthly mortgage payment will be $1,541.22.
We received your credit reporting inquiry on September 2, 2023 regarding the credit reporting for your account. After reviewing the account and payment history, it was determined that no errors were found in your credit history, as reported. Mr. Cooper is required under section 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2(a) (1) of the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA),to report complete and accurate information to all credit bureaus. Mr. Cooper is also required by federal law to report accurate payment activity to the credit reporting agencies based on actual events. Our records indicate that we reported your account accurately for the months of March 2023 through August 2023; therefore, we determined that a credit correction is not necessary at this time.
We value you as our customer and are truly sorry for any inconvenience or concern this incident may have caused. Please be assured your trust and business are very important to us and your positive experience is our first priority.

Mr ****** is the mortgage holder for my home. I make on time payments every month to this company directly through my bank. I actually make over payments. I made a request to have my escrow account removed and they are telling me my payments have been delinquent due to the fact that almost every month they apply my payments to the wrong area. I have to call every other months to have funds reversed and applied to the correct places. Mr ****** keeps telling me that I don't fit the guideline to remove my escrow when I do. They are the only reason my payments are messed up and misapplied each month. No one calls back or have even tried to resolve the issue. I want this company to take responsibility for their mistake and remove my escrow account.Customer Answer

I don't have any correspondence, I filled out a request form on their website asking for the escrow account to be removed.

I am rejecting this response because: I dont see where they are saying that they did something wrong. I didnt see a response saying that they were going to fix their mistake.

Dear *************************:
Thank you for reaching out to us.
We received your email on November 8, 2023, via the Better Business Bureau (BBB) and have put together this reply with information that we hope will address your concerns. After an investigation, we are sharing with you what we found.
After reviewing your account, we found that we previously addressed your concerns in a correspondence received from the Better Business Bureau (BBB) on October 20,2023, in a Response Letter dated November 2, 2023. We have provided the details of our response below as the complaint detail you provided to the BBB is the exact information received on October 20, 2023.
In our prior response to the BBB, we advised that our records show that follow up calls were placed by Escalations Manager, *********************, on both October 23, 2023, and October 25, 2023; however,we were unsuccessful in reaching you and voice messages were left.
Additionally, we spoke with you twice on October 26,2023. During the first phone call, you were advised that we would review the call from June 1, 2023. A second phone call was placed to you on October 26, 2023, during which we explained our findings.
We have confirmed that during the phone call on June 1, 2023, we explained that there were funds in the amount of $763.37 in the suspense account. When the payment of $754.41 was made it was combined with funds in suspense to cover the April 2023 and May 2023 installments, but was short the $397.27 to complete the June payment. This account still reflects an amount due of $397.27 to complete the November 1, 2023,payment.
Unfortunately, we have confirmed that an error occurred because during the call on June 1, 2023, the agent provided incorrect information regarding how the funds in suspense would be applied to the loan. This error was corrected on October 26, 2023, when you were approved for a repayment plan.
This loan was in an active bankruptcy status under the chapter 13 bankruptcy that was filed on July 27, 2018,which closed on September 6, 2023. During an active bankruptcy, any escrow refunds are sent to the bankruptcy trustee.
Our records reflect that there was an escrow deposit in March 2020. The county taxes were disbursed on November 2, 2020, in the amount of $599.81. There was an escrow advance on December 2,2020, in the amount of $294.01, and there was no escrow refund warranted in 2020. Please note that the only funds taken from the escrow account in 2020,were for disbursements made for taxes and insurance. The attached transaction history reflects the dates the disbursements were made.
We assure you that the situation you described is not typical of the quality service we are committed to providing and is an isolated incident. We recognize the inconvenience expressed in your inquiry and assure you that we are working to resolve this matter for you as quickly as possible.
According to our records the account has been paid for the coming month until the August 1, 2020, installment was not received in the current month. The August 1, 2020, monthly installment was not received until September 5, 2020, and the subsequent payments were received within the month they were due.
Our research indicates the payment history appears to be reported accurately to the main credit repository agencies (Transunion, Experian, Innovis and Equifax). Please be advised that under section 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2(a)(1) of the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA),Mr. Cooper is required to report complete and accurate information to all credit bureaus.
If you have any information that a particular credit reporting company is reflecting our reporting on your account inaccurately, there are further steps that you can take to dispute the information they are reporting. Information on how to dispute errors by the credit reporting companies can be found at the Federal Trade Commissions website:www.ftc.gov/bcp/edu/pubs/consumer/credit/cre21.shtm.
If you have any documentation to substantiate the information, we provided is inaccurate,please send these documents to our ******************* using the information listed below:

My original mortgage was with USAA. I was never ever late with them. I'd log into the website on my payday, make a payment, and all was fine. All the time.Since MrCooper has bought my mortgage, now serviced by Lakeside Mortgage, things have been horrible.This is about the 3rd time I've been marked as late with late fees. I do the exact same as I've always done, I login to the website on payday, schedule a payment, and then hear nothing. Each time they claimed I had insuffint funds even though there was plenty of money in the account. Even if there wasn't, which there was, they send no emails or notifications of a problem, so you're left blindside until the next month. I was told "oh if you login to the website, click statements, click misc tab, then there is a letter right there" cryptically labeled VA 30 letter which no one would look at.Of course their website doesn't allow partial payments. So I can't pay half from say a savings account, and the other half from a checking account. This who thing seems like a scam to collect late fees. So I'm being soaked by late fees, and getting bad marks on my credit because of them.I want * my fees reimbursed * my credit adjusted * better client notifications of issues (I shouldn't find out a month later when I go to pay again)* the company to commit to making payments easier with partial paymentsBusiness Response
