Mortgage Market
This company needs to stand up and be accountable for the way they conduct business in the mortgage market. The loan I am reporting about is a home loan in which the only borrower is my husband. In December 2007 I contacted NCM to request a payment booklet on the loan since the December payment used the last coupon and the escrow amount would more than likely increase (property taxes & insurance premiums). I did not inquire about any information on the loan itself just simply requested a new payment booklet for the upcoming new year and I was rudely informed that they could not speak with me since my name was not listed on the loan. I explained to this rude customer service representative that I was not inquiring about the loan just requesting a payment booklet and could she please just make a note to get the booklet ordered for us, again she replied that she could not speak with me in reguards to this loan not even to request a new payment booklet. Jan 2008 still have no payment book so again I called and was giving the same response. Feb called again and was told the same thing. So I had been making the payments without a coupon and at the old payment amount. March same deal they could not speak with me. So I did not make a march payment in hopes they would contact my husband in reference to his missed payment and they did so only they contacted him on his company work phone and left an urgent message for him to return their call which he did when he returned home from work that same day, and during this call he requested a new payment booklet and had explained they we had been requesting this booklet since december 2007 and she indicated that there was no record of this request, he gave her verbal permission to speak with me and I gave her the exact dates and times in which I called and whom I had spoken with and she indicated they because I was not listed on the account that no notation would be made of the calls or the request but that she would put the order for a new payment booklet in immediately. So I in turn went a made another payment in March, April and May without coupons since the payment booklet never was received until June and it indicated that the payment has been reduced by 87 cents a month which was no big deal until the following days mail ran and I received a notice from the homeowners insurance company which we have had for the last 12 years indicating our home was no loger insured due to non- payment of premium, which I could not understand since we had an escrow account and this money had been collected the previous year for the payment of this expense. I contacted the insurance company to be informed they had infact sent 3 different notices to NCM on this premium due and they received no payment and no response. Calls to NCM were not returned so again I did not make a June, July, August payment hoping they would again call us since they would not return our call and we did not receive a call but we were tracked down by a process server at a property which my husband is the beneficiary to in another city than were we live to be served with foreclosure papers and here is the clincher I was also served with papers on this mortgage which my name does not even appear and it is my former name prior to the marriage of my husband which I have not used for over 19 years. We turned the documents over to our Attorney who contacted the Attorney representing NCM and he had no type of loan information and it took him until October 2008 to receive the documentation we requested from the bank and we were shocked to also receive a new payment booklet from NCM in October while this was already in court on foreclosure with payment amounts increasing from 720.90 a month to 795.00 a month so with this we are informed that NCM Attorney does not know why a new payment booklet was issued on a foreclosure but that the increase in payment was due to mortgage insurance premium and he forwarded a copy of the loan history and I would discover that they allowed the premium on the homeowners policy to lapse for failure to pay the $456 premium but a month later had picked up a homeowners policy from their company with a premium of $804 and that was why the increase in payments but took them 3 months to notify us. In October our Attorney had us go to the bank and attempt to make the missed monthly payments from June to October including late fees but on separate checks for each month which I did and even paid the November payment early and they did except all the payments no questions ask. The payments cleared my bank also. Both Attorney's were amazed that the bank accepted the payments and they continued to workout the remaining issues. NCM is slow about providing documents needed to get this resolved and numerous request with the court for the hearing dates to be extended have been filed. In March 2009 we are informed that the payments we have made since october 2008 to Feb 2009 have been setting in a suspense account and never applied to the loan. NCM wants the payments paid at the payment booklet amount which was set in Oct and not the June rate and they will recalculate the payment amount when the case is settled and we pay the Attorney fees the incurred to file the foreclosure. They are also adding additonal late fees which they want paid. I understand the error on my part of not making the payments without a payment booklet but I also feel they NCM were in error of not getting a payment booklet out when the first request was made due to the fact they could not speak with me on the loan then they also should not have the power to file or list me on a foreclosure. And then the error of not using the escrow money in the manner it was being paid to be used for is outrageous and then to let our policy lapse and to pickup a policy for double the premium they should be prosecuted for fraud on this matter. This information was not giving to the Attorney filing the foreclosure by NCM but was issured to him from our Attorney. Now a new problem has come up I am waiting to file my income tax return because NCM has not issued us a 1098 mortgage interest statement for 2008 and when checking with the Attorneys we have been told we need to get that from NCM on our own. Which we have spoken with them and have been informed that the only interest applied to the account was from the payments made Jan to May 2008 and the remaining payments are still in the suspense account and no principle or interes will be applied to the loan until the etire case is completed. But we need to continue making the increased payments until this is refigured.
