Consumer Complaint: To my dismay, underwriting keeps requesting business returns to verify income however, since the borrower is 100 % owner the business, income is reported on Schedule C of the personal tax returns. Underwriting refused to further review the account without business returns or they will not include any income in their calculations.

Consumer Complaint: I have been working with NewRez for a while. They hold my current mortgage and, after negotiating, I was able to get them to agree to be competitive with other rates I was receiving. They started talking to me about the loan and I was very happy as it was going to save me 200-250/month and add very little to the loan. Eventually they were sending me LE and they were wildly inaccurate. They told me I simply needed to sign one and that they would get the correct numbers to me later. So I did. It took about 3 weeks for them to get me correct numbers and then they asked me to re-sign the original, incorrect LE. They said it was a technical glitch on their end. Then they started asking me for documents. I submitted all docs onXX/XX/XXXX and, somehow, they all disappeared and I was asked to resubmit those same documents again, sometimes 3 times. Lately the rates have been falling and I asked my mortgage lender about what he had told me on XX/XX/XXXX that if the rates begin to fluctuate downward, then they would move the rates downward as well. I asked a friend of mine to call NewRez as a potential customer. With a worse credit score and similar loan amount, he was quoted a quarter point lower than I was. When I asked this of XXXX XXXX, I was told that I was locked in and they could do nothing, even though that is not what he said on XX/XX/XXXXto me. My concern is : 1 ) I am being scammed. 2 ) They continue to lose my documents that have my personal and security information on them. I am worried that I will be a victim of identity theft. Overall, if this loan ever does come through then I will save 200-250/month. But unfortunately I feel this company is scamming me by lying about the lack of floating lock and losing all of my personal documents. I was also told that I would not have to pay both XX/XX/XXXX and September mortgage payment as the loan would be in place. So far I have paid XX/XX/XXXX and, if things don't move quickly, will be paying XX/XX/XXXX. Unfortunately, since they continue to lose my documents, it is slowing the process. Finally, I was told I would not receive my leftover escrow back but that they would lower the loan with it. That is not on any documents that I ever received, even though I have asked them multiple times for it.

Consumer Complaint: I recently had a loan transfer from XXXX XXXX XXXX to Shellpoint Mortgage ( New Rez ) effective XX/XX/2019. I had automatic payments setup through XXXX and when the loan had transferred I followed the instructions given by Shellpoint and setup an online account with banking info to setup automatic payments. Unfortunately on XX/XX/2019 there was a withdraw for my mortgage of {$2900.00} taken from the account I setup for Shellpoint online and taken from the account that was previously setup for my XXXX by Shellpoint. In short I made a double payment and one of the payments I never authorized Shellpoint to withdraw from my XXXX checking account. Since the double payment was taken I've made at least a dozen phone calls to Shellpoint for a refund and in the beginning was told to email my info over for both accounts to verify there was a double payment and we will issue an immediate refund. I still haven't received a refund and last Thursday XXXX I was told it would take 2-3 weeks but a supervisor will call me back in 24-48 hrs. I missed a call today from a supervisor only to get there generic 1-800 call back number and when I call they have no answers and a supervisor will have to call you back.

Consumer Complaint: I applied for a modification and received a letter of approval from Shellpoint mtg dated XX/XX/19 stating 3 trial payments in XX/XX/XXXX XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX. This is our second home - my husband begins cutting the grass bi- weekly in Late XX/XX/XXXX- he had a serious XXXX XXXX and was not able to do the maintainance for a couple of months - we returned from Vacation to our home after the XX/XX/XXXXand found that someone had changed our locks, emptied our refrigerator and winterized our toilets and sinks - found a sign in sheet dated XX/XX/2019, a vacancy certification and a management co stating g that if this home is not vacant please call - I called the contractor who immediately helped me, the mgmt co told me that Shellpoint had hired them - I sent a demand letter to Shellpoint stating their illegal use of duel tracking according to the regulation x law - my contact immediately told me the lockbox code to obtain my new keys as my own locks had been changed!! I have talked to legal counsel and have all documentation and papers left in my home - my home clearly could never be considered vacant with family photos and furnishings etc. I felt violated that the mortgage company did this with no consideration to even call me prior to their actions - Today o received a letter from my insurance dated XX/XX/2019 that a claim had been filed for some water damage on the deck/ siding - the letter states date of loss as XX/XX/2019 - I did not file this claim as we are aware of this due to extreme amounts of rain and are planning for repairs. - the adjustor stayed that he couldn t talk to me, that he was talking to the foreclosure Dept - I have sent an email to him for any notice or claim in writing from any other party other than me as I obtained the ins. I have spoken to counsel in regard to all of these unethical and illegal aggressive actions taken by Shellpoint mortgage co - No one should ever experience this!

Consumer Complaint: I was closing on a refinance Va Loan on XX/XX/2019. The terms were that we can skip XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX payments. Mortgage co., XXXX XXXX XXXX screwed up the closing and did not disclose to us to pay XX/XX/XXXX payment. We moved with the closing into XX/XX/XXXX, funding was not paid to NewRez mortgage. On XX/XX/2019, we were instructed to pay XX/XX/XXXX payment and the new terms were skip XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX payments. Even though NewRez mortgage received their money, they went to as far to report us 30 days late for XX/XX/XXXX payment. I in-turn called XXXX XXXX XXXX to report the problem. As of today neither XXXX XXXX XXXX or NewRez mortgage corrected XX/XX/XXXX 's late payment. XXXX XXXX

Consumer Complaint: We have been making mortgage payments to Shellpoint Mortgage since about XX/XX/XXXX with no problems. Then last year in XXXX ( fall ) we received notification XXXX XXXX XXXX was taking the loan over. At this time, XXXX XXXX XXXX attached our discharged mortgage to our credit. We completed our complaint with the credit bureaus. Our Mortgage originally with XXXX, taken over by XXXX XXXX XXXX during the " take over '' was discharged in XXXX through bankruptcy court ( see attached ). Meanwhile XXXX XXXX XXXX failed to pay our property taxes and property insurance. So we made the payments. Normally this is done through our escrow. Shellpoint took the loan back from the lender in XX/XX/XXXX. We made our mortgage payments minus escrow since we paid it already, and were not refunded by XXXX XXXX XXXX. When Shellpoint took the loan back we told them what happened with XXXX XXXX XXXX. When shellpoint took the loan back they also attached the loan to our credit and again we fought to have it removed. We have continuously made our payments minus the escrow. Shellpoint is now filing for foreclosure. We have dealt with customer service, their Escalation department, left voicemails, were told we would get a call back, but have never received any calls. Only documents in the mail letting us know what our payment is. Information we already know. we have completely gone in circles with zero assistance. We filled a complaint with the XXXX and got no where. Why would or should we make a double payment because the lender doesn't communicate with the servicer? Since our loan is discharged we have had nothing but issues! It's been a terrible mess. We were also told that our loan with XXXX was a fraudulent loan. We don't know what else to say other than these two entities are committing fraud. The money we have sent them has not been applied nor does it show on our statements. During this time we also completed a Prop 8 through the county to accurately have our home assessed for property value. This changed the property tax payment amount. Shellpoint and XXXX XXXX XXXX continued to increase our monthly payments to include an inaccurate escrow amount. They also were adding an excess of over {$3000.00} in escrow for an undisclosed reason. They have not responded as to why they needed to collect an excessive amount in comparison to taxes amount and insurance owed. At this time we are no longer going to send them any money since we don't know where our payments are going. Until we can get this resolved. We also have a re-conveyance for our property and are attaching this as well including the grant deed. Shellpoint Mortgage Account # XXXX ( before XXXX XXXX XXXX took the loan in XXXX ) we had no issues until XXXX XXXX XXXX came into the picture!! XXXX XXXX XXXX Account # XXXX XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX payments attached. Shellpoint Mortgage Account # XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX after XXXX XXXX XXXX let them service the loan again since we got the debt removed from our credit )
