    Worse company to ever exist!!! Not an absolute soul in that company knows what information they are giving out. No one helps you, no one gives correct updates. If your papers are in review for 9 days, when the 9 days are up. Magically something else will be missing and another 9 days go. That happen to me with this company for 6 months. I cried every day of frustration because you can't do anything else.

    Back in the summer of 2019 I applied for Mortgage Assistance and was ultimately denied, it took this company almost 2 full months to obtain all the paperwork necessary for me to apply for this program because every week for about six weeks they required something new to be submitted for my application. Over that time I accrued several additional late charges that were not listed or accounted for on my monthly statements. First their explanation for denying me was that I did not make enough money each month to qualify for the program. I didn't really understand this, the point of Mortgage Assistance is to assist a client with making payments.

    I submitted my paperwork yet again outlining a budget that did prove I had made enough money for me to pay all my bills and have a little money left over. I was denied again, this time they stated that my loan was not far enough into delinquency. I guess Midland Mortgage found it most profitable to suggest I apply for assistance, then take their good old time getting my paperwork together so that several late fees could also occur, and deny me once they saw I could make regular monthly payments. I understand that this is a business and their goal is to make money, but seriously don't use this tactic to make more money. At least waive any late charges that accrued while I was applying for Mortgage Assistance.

    Midland bought my mortgage after ten years with Chase. I was a month behind and the representatives at Midland have been nothing but kind and helpful. I do not understand all the negative reviews. Every person I have talked with has been nice and understanding. I never write reviews but after seeing how many bad ones there are for Midland I wanted to share my experience. When my mortgage was bought I looked up Midland and saw these awful reviews and was concerned. I can say though, that nine months later, I still have yet to have an unpleasant conversation with anyone there.

    This Midland Mortgage company is terrible.... crooks and cronies... I have been making all of my payments online a week before they are due from my business account but on their end it shows receiving payment on the 4th, 5th or even sometime the 6th. I called and they told me not to worry as long as they get it before the 15th. It is complete ** as my credit score is dropping. I have figured it out as to what they are up to. Midland Mortgage knows that if they can lightly tarnish our credit scores even with a few late accepted payments on their end they will keep us from being able to refinance at another bank which is where I am at at this current moment, stuck with **.

    The ** COMPANY MIDLAND MORTGAGE also put a hit on my credit score that states I did not make a payment the entire month of July this year BUT my LOCAL BANK here in TOWN SHOWS the payment was made from my BUSINESS ACCOUNT on JUNE 26TH for the month of JULY and THE HOUSE PAYMENT come out of my HOMETOWN BANKS ACCOUNT. The bank president here in my home town said I should file legal actions and sue this ** fake company. Little do they know I have a master plan coming for them and the hammer is about to drop!

    Midland Mortgage is literally the worst company we have ever dealt with. I never thought I would say that considering I strongly dislike Cox, but they have managed to be even worse, awful, disgusting money suckers!! About 6 months ago my husband and I got behind on ONE payment. We asked them for help (I should also mention that this is the 5th Mortgage company we have had in the last 3 years because our mortgage continues to get sold without our liking but we have no control over this).

    Every other single mortgage company we asked for help in the past, would help us with our payments if we ever got behind or were having financial issues. This AWFUL company said the only thing they can do for us is to have us to a "3 month trial period" and then to offer us new terms. We were extremely mistaken on what exactly this was. They offered us during these months to pay $200 less a month on our mortgage. We thought, sure why not. Well after the 3 month trial period they sent us some terms that entailed us agreeing to some HUD and our house would have a lean on it. We obviously decided NO because that would end up screwing us in the end.

    Since we told them no after this "TRIAL PERIOD" our mortgage went back to normal and we had to pay those $200 x 3 ($600) back. WELL later we find out that they reported us to our credit that those 3 payments were DELINQUENT! What?!?! We literally paid those 3 months, but did not pay $200 due to them telling us not to!!! Never did they tell us that if we did not agree to the terms after the trial period that this would happen. I even went back to the paperwork that had us sign prior to this and it is NOWHERE!! How on Earth can they do this?! It brought our credit score down by 70 points! We have literally not ONE delinquent payment on our credit.

    I have called them multiple times and each time these awful customer service reps do nothing for us. They had the audacity to tell us "it says it on our website". I don't give two ** what your website says! If your website says I should give you a $1,000,000 dollars does that make it right? NO. These people are FRAUDS! And there is literally nothing we can do. We plan on filling a complaint against this company and hopefully something will happen. But unfortunately these kinds of companies to these awful things to people and get away with it. The worst company ever and I hope these people get their karma!!!!

    Our mortgage was sold to Midland after falling behind due to job loss. They try to force the 'Loan Modification" on you first of all, which only means they tack on a HUGE 2nd mortgage and you can plan on owing mortgage payments for a lot longer! I refused the modification but was able to catch up my payments. As I went to review what I owed I found out that they had applied over $3000 to unexplained MYSTERY fees! I found out that when I had paid 2 payments at once last year totaling $2700 they applied $2120 of that money to a fee with absolutely no explanation what it was for! Please check your transaction HISTORY! It turns out they were claiming I was further behind than we actually were! Total crooks, I'm sure we will see a class action lawsuit soon. I plan to sue them myself! PREDATORY LENDER! Be smart and check where every dime you send them goes!!!

    After our loan was sold to Midland Mortgage, my husband and I fell behind on payments due to loss of a job. They helped us through the entire assistance process and approved us for a loan modification after 3 months of trial payments. This helped us get back on our feet and EVERY person we spoke to was so helpful and nice along the way.

    My mortgage was sold to Midland in January and it is now March and they do not show up on my credit report, as a result my credit has decreased. I fell behind due to some storms that we had as well as a loss of work, they make you go through this process of qualifying for assistance only to deny you. This company is a RIP off and they truly just want your property. Customer service is clueless and disappointing. I am now at a point of just letting them have it.

    My father's house was in foreclosure due to death. It sold for $30,000 more than what was owed. They will not answer emails. Over the phone, they keep saying "email us the info required", so I did. Basically, they stole the $30,000. They will not communicate in any way. They state that they haven't received emails that I have sent repeatedly (to the email address they gave me).

    My mortgage was sold to them and my first payment made to them in August 2018. As of January 2019 they STILL have not reported it on my credit which dropped my credit score just. Their customer service was terrible - I had to call at least twice to get resolved a "hurricane inspection fee" charged by my old servicer that every time I tried to pay, the extra amount was applied to the principle. Which is better for me but it still shows an amount "unpaid" each month which I was afraid could one day be reported as not making payment. This took two months to resolve with repeated calls.

    I decided to refinance to get out of using Midland, which was hampered by the fact that the mortgage was not listed on my credit. I am refinancing at a higher interest rate - that goes to show how much I want to be free from this mortgage company. The new company does not sell your mortgage so I feel like I have more control over that.

    My mortgage loan was sold to Midland Mortgage August 2, 2018. And it is December 18, 2018 and they have not reported it on my credit so it looks like I have a closed mortgage account. As a result my credit score dropped and one of my credit lines decreased. I am highly upset that I submitted a complaint to CFPB and all Midland did was respond that they report in 2 credit cycles which obviously 4 months is way more than to credit cycles. I am beyond pissed and nothing they say or do will make a difference in how this company operates. It's horrible.

    My Morgage was just sold to Midland Mortgage and I spoke to them today to understand how we should handle the direct deposit issues and whether or not the previous company is planning to also deduct for this month. Not only was my experience in this call the worst I've ever had but the rep literally whispered "I DONT CARE", mind you this is my first interaction with them. The rep thought I couldn't hear her and when I confronted her on this comment she gave some half-baked excuse about her talking to a "coworker". The truth is that she did care, evidenced by our preceding conversation. As a customer or even a consumer, sup-optimal service has the ability to really shape our interaction and a perception of service or a product.

    By not caring about your customers you are truly poisoning your company and affecting its economic health and potential growth. I didn't choose this company rather they bought my mortgage from another company. If this practice of buying and selling mortgages is acceptable, I think we the consumers should have the right or at least the input in who has control over one of our most important assets. I am truly disappointed!

    My mortgage was sold to Midland Mortgage, and it was the worst and most expensive thing that could have happened with the bill. First, they are not a lender, so despite having overpaid every month for 9 years, I was not able to refinance the loan with them. Fair enough, they are not a lender, but I took out my original mortgage with a local lender in part because of the options for easy refinance. Second, when I paid off my loan, I wired them $48,000. When I called 48 hours later to ensure that the money had been accepted, the representative told me (and I QUOTE, I will never forget this) "I have no idea where your money is." Not "it is still processing" or "this is a question for another department." A mortgage company telling me that they LOST $48k of my money is TERRIFYING.

    Lastly (there are plenty more examples of terrible service, incorrect escrow statements, late fees for on-time automatic payments, etc, but I won't bore you) I am trying now, 3 years later, to get the bank release that was never sent. I was told it would take 3-5 business days for the fax to arrive. Five business days later, not there. Was told that the NEXT day was 5 business days because the first day doesn't count. (Like, called on Monday at 9 am, Tuesday doesn't count?) Called the next day, was told it would actually be 5-7 business days. "To send a 1 page fax?" Yes. And, "if the fax doesn't arrive call back and we will try to resolve the issue."

    They don't even have faith in THEMSELVES that they can properly send a fax within 7 business days. We will see tomorrow if the fax is there, I am not holding my breath. A mortgage is often the single-most expensive and stressful loan an individual will take out. I would not wish this company's rude, disorganized, and callous service on my worst enemy. I would not ALLOW a friend to use them. I hope this review steers people away from them - they are not worth it.

    I've been living in my home approximately 18 yrs, and after 18 years of living at my current address it is being told to me that I still owe on my home which was under $40,000. My husband is a veteran who is now disabled and ill as well as myself disabled and ill. At this current time I'm trying to figure out why is it that I'm still being held accountable for $36,000 when during the time of the purchase in 1999 the house was $38,000. Doing several conversations with Midland Mortgage I've asked certain questions concerning the purchases and the payments of my home but never can get a direct answer always receiving indirect answer. He recently I've received threatening letters stating that whatever finances I may receive from wherever I receive them from if I do not do the proper thing with the money.

    I will be brought up on criminal charges and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. Who does this to a family that has been in business with them for almost 20 years. At this present time I'm still confused on how we became customers of Midland Mortgage. At the time of my purchase of my home I was with Central Mortgage Company. I have no clue of what transpired and how I wind up with Midland Mortgage. Throughout the past 18 years of dealing with Mortgage. My mortgage has fluctuated on several different occasions and now at the present time I'm still being charged for a home that has been already paid for.

    Submitted property damage and insurance check to Midland. That was 3 months ago and still have not received check to repair hole in roof. Had to submit contractor's bid to them at least 5 times. They finally sent me letter saying I can expect the check in 8 to 10 days. That was over a month ago. Calling them is fruitless. They lie about sending check just to get you off the phone. I can’t believe they deal with people’s money. It is winter, and I have a hole in my roof. I have lost my contractor. It is too late in the year for repairs. All because they have held my check. I am refusing to make another payment.

    I will give them back this house so they can eat what money is left to pay. I assure them it is more than the insurance check is. The funny thing is they are holding MY insurance money I personally paid into my insurance company. This isn’t even their money they are holding. Sometimes you need to take drastic action (moving out) to bring it to attention. WARNING. Do not deal with this mortgage company!!! You will be sorry.

    Having all of these negative reviews doesn't seem to matter to Midland Mortgage. Mortgages get sold to them and the property owners don't have a clue what they are going to be subjected to. Refinancing isn't affordable by many so we're stuck and they know it. I'm going to post this anyway. Maybe it will benefit someone. First and foremost every Midland Mortgage representative I have talked to has been rude, condescending and treats you like your sole purpose is to swindle them to get money. They are also extremely inconsistent and unorganized. It is so frustrating!!!

    I had roof damage after hail and high wind storms ripped through the area around the 4th of July. I felt that State Farm responded pretty quickly considering there were lots of homes damaged during this time. They issued a check to me the same day the adjuster came. It was made out to me, my husband and Midland Mortgage. I called MM to ask about the process for getting it endorsed. This is where all went downhill. They gave me a list of required documentation and told me it would take 4-10 business days to process. As instructed, I provided everything as scanned documents attached to an email. Waited to hear something but never did so I called again... they said they never got it. On 8/8 I sent copies via US Postal service, 2 day priority. I was told that if I included a check for $10, when funds were approved, they would send the endorsed check back to me via overnight mail. So I included a $10 check.

    Waited to hear something but never did so I called again. By the way, the $10 check posted to my bank account 3 days after I sent it so I KNOW they received my info. During all this time, I received letters requesting the same documents or saying they are missing something all of which are delaying the process. I also got a threatening letter telling me about how I have to notify them of progress of repairs and how I must get an inspection (one of their inspectors) of the work done before the final insurance funds would be approved. I was being treated like I was a criminal yet I had done nothing wrong. I didn't even have work started, yet. I was waiting for the insurance funds. 9/1 (21 business days from the day the $10 check posted in my bank) I called to find out the status. The endorsed insurance check had been sent via regular mail and I should allow 5 days to get it.

    Really? Oklahoma City to Lubbock, Texas takes 5 days?!?! And I paid $10 to have it sent overnight! Though she did acknowledge that it should have been sent overnight, she did not have an answer for how or why it wasn't and did not offer to even look into the matter or make it right, give me credit... nothing. By this time my contractor left me for other paying jobs. Then we had a lot more rain... more delays. I was worried about having even more damage to my roof. I did eventually get the check and hired roofers. My house had a new roof on 9/12 and I called MM the next day to have it inspected. I needed to get the rest of the insurance funds to finish paying the roofers. A week later someone from MM called and left a message instructing me to schedule the inspection.

    I was given a name and phone number to call. I called for a solid 3 days and only got his voicemail. I ended up scraping together enough money to pay the roofers what I owed out of pocket which I really could not afford. I called MM again. Finally an inspector came to my house on 10/2. But guess what? MM never informed State Farm the inspection was done/passed so the remaining funds were not released. Today, 10/12 I called State Farm myself. I should get a check from State Farm tomorrow. It will be payable to me, my husband AND Midland Mortgage. Here we go again. I'd say wish me luck but I know what I'm in for.

    One other thing that happened a while back - when we decided to disconnect our phone landline, we didn't notify MM. I guess they tried to call for some reason and got the disconnected message. They sent us a letter stating that they had the right to demand payment in full if we did not provide them with a current phone number. The letter said that without a phone number, they could not verify we occupied the property and therefore, we were in breach of contract. I gave them my cellphone number. And how does that verify I occupy the property? I still don't understand why they didn't just ask for a current phone number.

    When we bought our home in 2003, the mortgage company that held our note was Countrywide. In the crash (and subsequent demise of Country Wide) of 2008, Midland Mortgage bought and took over our note. We were making regular, timely mortgage payments when in 2012, my wife lost her job and was unemployed looking for work for almost a year. When it became difficult to make the payments, we contacted Midland to ask if we could get into the HARP program. Midland responded that we weren't delinquent, so we didn't qualify for it. They advised to hold payment for 90 days, and then call them back at the 90 day point. Sounded strange, I'll admit, but hey, this was our lender telling us to do this. So we followed their instructions.

    At day 89, we called, only to be told that they don't participate in the HARP program. The next week we received notice by certified mail of their intent to foreclose. We contacted an attorney that day, and filed for bankruptcy to protect the house. Now, 5 years later, I discover (since they refused to communicate with me, only my attorney, and he was a black hole) that I am going into Discharge, that they claim they never received the May 2015 payment. I KNOW I sent it, but they claim to have never received it.

    Newsflash!! Along with everything else Midland is doing. It is also stealing its customer's Escrow Account if there is a positive balance when the account is transferred over to them. They continue to deny receiving $5,200.00 on my behalf and claim that my escrow account had a "negative" balance. Any dummy knows that a negative sign in front of any number is equal to a credit. The statement given to me by the prior loan holder clearly shows a credit balance on the statement and being turned over to the new lender. Check your statements! Keep all of your paperwork from your old lender! I can wonder how many other people has had their escrow monies stolen from them by Midland!!

I have called and called and called and no one can help me because it's being processed, or it takes 10-20 days for it to get into their paperless system, or it takes 10-20 days for the mail to arrive in Oklahoma from Louisiana. They must have 100's of scripted lines of crap!!!! My mortgage is current and I am paying $1,000 in rent every month. My contractor has been ready for 5 weeks now and still nothing! I emailed my local tv stations today. I take it back, I emailed ALL of my local stations!!!

    My son has a loan through Midland. He is 60 days behind in his payments due medical bills. He has not been able to make the back payments, but does pay every month, so not to get any further behind. He was told that as long as he doesn't get 90 days behind that he would not go into foreclosure, which he is not. Two days ago he got a letter from Midland Mortgage asking him to contact a foreclosure attorney. Also, they did not accept his last payment and returned it, which now puts him 90 days behind. I feel this is a very shady way to get his home, which has a lot of equity in it. He has been told, unless he pays all the back payments he goes into foreclosure. Somehow he will manage to do that, but I will advise him to find another mortgage ASAP. In the past I worked for a mortgage company, and I'm glad to say they did not use such unfair tactics to acquire someone's home.

    I own a roofing and home improvement business. One of the things we do is help people through the insurance claim process when it comes to damage caused by weather or falling debris. When a homeowner has an insurance claim on a property in which they have a mortgage, the benefit check is made payable jointly to both the Homeowner and the Mortgage Company. Most of the time this is not a problem... unless Midland has your mortgage.

    I have had the unfortunate task of having to deal with Midland on a customer's behalf. In a current instance State Farm paid for a total roof replacement as well as some interior damage caused by the damaged and leaking roof. The claim was made AND settled by State Farm on June 3, 2016 and the customer received a check for the full amount of their damages ($21,500.00) less homeowner's deductible ($2,500.00). Customer received check for $19,000.00 made payable to them and Midland. Midland required standard documentation from my company which we provided and sent along with the check to them (Midland) so they would endorse it.

    Now, normally, the mortgage companies simply endorse the check and return it to the homeowner. In THIS case Midland has held on to the $19,000.00 check since June 6, 2016 the date they received it. Yesterday, 09/06/2016, Midland finally sent a portion of the money ($ 12,250.00), back to the homeowner to pay for the commencement of the work.

    The unethical thing is this, Midland has had the benefit of earning interest on the customer's money for almost 90 days. In addition, the homeowner has suffered additional damage to the interior of their home because the roof wasn't replaced and subsequent storms (in south Louisiana) really did a number on the roof. Now, I will have to do the work for the customer and probably have to wait another 3 months to get Midland to release the balance of the $19,000.00. MIDLAND MORTGAGE SUCKS!

    MY loan was originated with Irwin Mortgage. Several years ago they closed and transferred the servicing to Midland Mortgage. At the beginning they seemed like a great company to deal with and very knowledgeable. However that all quickly changed. In June of 2013 I found out I was going to lose my job working for another mortgage servicing company. I did everything in my power to at least make a payment most months to avoid foreclosure review or etc. I finally broke down and in approximately April of 2015 I called and had to be put on an unemployment forbearance plan. I told them this was just going to cause my home to be further behind and a foreclosure to occur.

    They advised that in October I would have to pay the full amount due or a repayment plan to bring the loan current and not be put in foreclosure review. I was making less money and could afford a monthly payment but not 3 that would be a repayment plan to bring it current in 3 months. So I will admit I was defeated and basically just ignored things.

    In March I spoke with Midland surprised it was not in foreclosure yet. I was told I could pay less than 250--this would hold back the foreclosure review and maybe get a modification in April. I did pay a payment while I decided what I wanted to do and the decision was I wanted to sell either for total due or a short sale but I was done dealing with this mortgage company.

    I called in May asked for a payoff that I do this day never received. I then called again in June and my realtor did asking for another payoff since the loan was now in foreclosure so we knew what we needed to list it for. It took almost 2 weeks to get the figures and get an approve to postpone the auction date from 6 /30 to 8/4.

    Here is where the complaints come in. In May I believe the 27th it was referred to foreclosure. My way of being notified was from a appraiser calling, requesting access for the appraisal they had ordered. Midland refused to tell me the name of the attorney and said they mailed me the info. 15 days later I received a letter from Orland Associates Troy Michigan that advises they are handling the loan but they had my City listed as Albion and I live in Kalamazoo so this is wrong. I call and advise them of this. I also call the mortgage to request the extension as well as possible short sale approval and etc. I also called Orland to ask why there was no notice listed on my home since I was advised legally there had to be one. That day they put one up with the sale date of 6/30. Finally we get approval to postpone that sale and I get a payoff so the house can be listed on the market to sell.

    I am notified on the phone by Ted (the only person in that foreclosure department) that the sale date is postponed until 8/4. On July 19th I called and spoke with Ted on the phone requesting that the sale be postponed because I still don't have an offer but we are actively trying. He said after a long conversation that he would put in the request and to try to verify later that day. I called at 4 pm their time and he still had no answer. I called back again last week to verify and he left me a voice mail saying that the auction date was moved from 7/28 to 8/4, umm where did the 7/28 date come from because I was never told that date to start with. I was told 8/4 and then now he says that was an error, that was off my original request in June to postpone the sale date, and it went straight to 8/4.

    I have a possible offer on this home that was coming in yesterday that I now have to say sorry too because this company failed to request and extension in a timely fashion and is allowing my house to be auctioned and this offer is likely a short sale so it is not going to be approved. The bank is going to end up with a house that they can't sell based on the condition of the home. I demanded a manager call and have received nothing. If Ted actually did his job along with the other reps months ago and didn't give inaccurate information this would have all been avoided. However the biggest issue is that now I am being told I never called except to get the status of the extension on Friday which is not true and that I never requested an extension on the auction date.

    I was unfortunately caught up with the 2008 housing crash, and at the time, had two homes, one in Vegas, and a smaller home in Mesa, Arizona. We were forced into bankruptcy, and all of a sudden, this Midland Mortgage became Citibank's collector, or as I was told. My lawyer, and I, sent numerous letters requesting reaffirmation documents. They ignored all the letters. Since 2011 at the adjudication of the BK7, Midland has been receiving monthly payments on-time, but have yet to never enter this data as positive on my credit reports. I have even asked for a settlement payoff, and since they are nothing more than a collection agency, as I have been told numerous times, they have rebuffed these requests.

    Midland Mortgage has refused to reaffirm after the bankruptcy, refused to give me proper acknowledgement on my credit reports for continuing to make payments, and are plain rude and disgusting on settlements, even though, they continue to say, they are a collection company. They have screwed me over on this VA loan, made through another mortgage lender, which they evidently got collection responsibility for, yet make no efforts to settle. These people are criminals openly screwing over people.

    I have to be out of my home by July 15, 2016. Although I did not have issues with Midland ignoring calls and things I did have to send them the same paperwork repeatedly. My husband was injured and out of work and I didn't make enough to pay the mortgage myself. For a while I would send partial payments but they wouldn't apply the funds unless they had the full payment. They did do a modification with me but they increased the mortgage payment. I had to agree to it and sign to buy time. Otherwise foreclosure proceedings would have continued then.

    There was nothing we could do. We didn't qualify for any of their programs. My loan is a VA loan but I am not the VA. My ex-husband is, and even though the court awarded the house to me the loan company wouldn't remove his name from the loan. He had let the house go into foreclosure before it was given to me so I had no way of getting a different kind of loan. I was stuck. One of Midland's representatives told me at one point that they didn't care if I saved my house because the VA backs the loan so they are gonna get their money either way. Is there anything I can do to save my home at this point. My husband is working now and we would be able to pay the mortgage.

    I had a house fire in Feb. 2015. Midland was the worst company to ever have to deal with. They withheld money on numerous occasions for the contractor and he was not able to complete his work in a timely manner. After the inspection to release the hold back amount from the insurance company, the contractor did not finish the work. We parted ways because of this. Midland never sent out an inspector for final inspection after funds were released.

    Now they are holding a final amount of money for additional work needed to be done, and they told me because I do not have a contractor I need to send a supply list for material needed, and they will send out an inspector to see if work was done. WHAT??? They did not even send out an inspector for the contractor and paid him in full!! I was never communicated with at any time during this process of any additional things needed to move checks along. Instead, I only received information when I called.

    My house, which was not a total loss, took over 10 months to get repaired because of Midland's handling of the funds. At one point I had to have a 3-way conference call with a manager and National Fire Adjustor's to get some answers as to why the funds were being held up. It wasn't until then that a large portion of the funds were forwarded. They are a nightmare company to deal with in a crisis situation.

    This is one company you don't want to do business with. If your mortgage loan get sold to this company, I recommend you to refinance as quick as possible. My house caught fire 3/4/2015. I just moved back into my house on 11/4/2015. During the build out, the contractor saw that the insurance co. left out items in the estimate so they had to send a supplement to the insurance co. The estimate was revised and the supplement was paid. The insurance co. had to send the final check to Midland Mortgage. Then they were to send the check to me so I could pay the contractor. The final check was sent on 11/17. They claim they didn't receive the check till the 25th. I was told they will mail the check out in two days. Two days, never came so I called Midland Mortgage back again asking when will the check be sent out. The contractor is waiting to be paid.

    Midland said "we need to have several managers approve the check first then we will mail the check out". I had to call again. They told the same story. After that I said "put a manager on the phone cause I'm tired of your company telling the same lie." Once the manager came to the phone she stated we have to come out and do another 100% inspection. On 11/3/15 the insurance company and the Midland Mortgage sent out an inspector to do a 100% inspection. The insurance co. said "in order for us to send the final check to Midland, we would need to do a 100% inspection." So we set both inspector to come out on the same day which was 11/3. Now that the insurance co. has sent the final check to Midland. Now they want to do a second 100% inspection. What kind of sense does this make?

    Midland claim due to the check being in a different amount, we need to inspect one more time. But when was they planing on telling me? When I have called them 4 times asking for the check and was told each time when the manger sign off on the check we will mail the check out? If I would not have asked for a manger and asked why am I being told you all need a manager to sign off on the check before you can mail it out, that is when Midland manager Maria ID # ** told me "they need to come out and do a second 100% inspection. I'll put a rush order in for 24hrs." 24 hrs passed, never heard from an inspector. I called back again, spoke with Deonna ID # **. I told her that I was suppose to hear from the inspector in 24hrs. Deonna stated "I see the order but it hasn't been sent in. It's going to be 2 to 3 days."

    I asked for a manger again. Brenda ** ID # ** came to the line and said the same thing "I don't why Maria told you see could put a rush in because it's going to take 2 to 3 days for a inspector to call you then 5 to 7 days after that before we can send the check out." This company has reps working who is not properly trained and don't have a clue to what's going on in the company. Midland Mortgage needs to be closed down. My contractor has been waiting to get paid for a job he has been done with now for over a month and still have not gotten paid. I'm letting you know now if your loan gets sold to Midland Mortgage, refinance your home immediately.

And, that is the LAW! I talked to another lender and they said that how often loan modifications are granted is up to the lender.

    I have also had an insurance claim with both MM and my name on the check from the insurance company. I signed it and sent it to them. Later, when I needed the money for the repairs they sent me a measley $220.00. The check was nearly $2,000.00. I called and asked them what I was supposed to do with that amount of money. I had a burst pipe and the tile in the kitchen, dining room, and laundry room had to be replaced. Also, the carpet in the front room needed replacing. They told me to make what repairs I could and then they would inspect the repairs. After that they would dole (my word, not theirs) me out a little more money. I am disabled and I have nowhere to go.

And when tried to inquire over the phone about all of these items I was treated very poorly. I DON'T recommend this mortgage company to anyone. I firmly believe that they are a predatory loan company.

    When I retired from the military, I didn't plan things as well as I could have and I struggled. I had lived in this house for 12+ years, but unfortunately, had refinanced a couple of times, so it was upside down like a lot of other folks. I didn't care about that, I just needed a lower damned payment. I would have gladly added 10 years to the backside in hopes of prosperous years in between where I could catch up and get more equity (and stop rolling debt into refinance loans). I tried everything I possibly could to get the payment lowered and they were not interested in helping me, so I finally stopped paying on it.

    As of right now, my credit report says that I'm $16K behind on my payments...funny because another family owns that house now and I'm just a renter. So they continue to screw me, even today. I've never really 'hated' a company before, but I do hate this company for their seedy tactics and tendency to screw people over instead of helping them. If one person changes their mind about this company after reading this, then it was well worth the time to write it!

    My husband and I are raising nine grandchildren and we ran into some bad luck and we got behind on our mortgage. Mind you we have been in this house for twenty years. They send you these letters where they want to help you stay in your home, have you sending in all types of documents when they know that it's just a part of the process. I faxed all of my documents, waited three days, called to do my interview with the little she kept me on the phone forever to tell me the only options that they could offer us was a short sale or a deed sale. All these years that we have been in our home and this is what they think of us. Everyone has had a moment of hardship and recovered. I explained to the young lady that my husband had just had his right leg amputated and he is a Vietnam veteran. That made no difference to her.

    In 2011, I tried to rent my condo and for a year tenants were breaking leases. I had 4 people in a year. I was getting married and moved over 30 minutes from the residence but went on to support the place for a year. Within the year of 2013 in November I could no longer pay my mortgage. I have worked in the mortgage field for very long time and since my home was in CT, Midland would not refinance it. Since I no longer had a job and was going to school full-time no one could refinance. My credit was perfect up until this point.

    I continued to pay debt where I could and put my home on the market. The value of the homes had decrease from 175000 to 110000. The home was place at 125000 to start and decrease to 119999 5 mths later and 19 showings. Midland Mortgage 5 months after being on the market approved pre-foreclosure process and asked me to place higher to 135000 and for 6 mths the home sat with no showings. I understand the process but Midland didn't want to work with the customer with short sell. Now I am on to Deed in Lieu and even more obstacles are being provided that are small paint for the rooms and neighbors stuff outside the house.

    Every year since my mortgage has been with MM my payment has gone up. They say due to taxes and insurance, therefore there is a shortage in my escrow account. So when they send me the letter that I can send a check for the difference and my payment will not increase, why is it that it does go up? Looking online comparing with the letters and with online statements plus the 2 new payment books...... NOTHING MATCHES!!!!!!!! My old payment plus my 3 new payments, not a damn one of them matches. Have to call and figure out which of the three new payments is supposedly the new correct payment, which it is not. This company is by far the worst company I have ever dealt with in my entire life. Getting ready to refinance my home hopefully very soon. Cannot wait to get away from this company. BE SURE TO SIGN THE CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT AGAINST MM FOR LENDER PLACED FLOOD INSURANCE.

One month in 2003, I had concerns & GMAC said not to worry, & if I incurred any late fees they could be added to end of my loan. Never a problem or pressure. Then M.M.! I was drowned in worthless general mailings, but discovered an escrow overage check that had just expired. I copied it & asked for reissue. The runaround began. Must wait til end of next cycle. I told them to put it toward my payment & sent remainder. They said they couldn't. Let the late fee nightmare begin!! I started written correspondence only! & this year they had overage & suggested they apply it toward my late fees. Really?

    My payment book 6/2013 offered an agreement to pay $30 PRR month add'l to settle late fees so to end the madness, I did it. Then more letters, I hadn't made payments. Got my bank involved, they warned me companies that "fee you to death". M.M. took my checks electronically, no cancelled checks. Bank gave me trace numbers, and told me to ask if my account with MM wasn't credited, whose was? I sent payments with copies of proof I made.

    When I first acquired my mortgage it was through a company called Cendant Mortgage. For some reason or another it wasn't long before my mortgage company was switched to Midland Mortgage. My mortgage payments kept increasing every year and they kept saying it was due to the increase in my property tax since I am supposed to be on a fixed rate, that is the only way it could go up. I thought everything was fine and just continued to make the payments. Now, I've fell on hard times and been unable to make payments for a while so I contacted them and tried to get a loan modification and was told that they hadn't received the paperwork they requested numerous times, and was denied eventually once everything was in.

    They keep sending letters saying that they are concerned that I'm having problems making my payments and they can help. They just keep giving me the runaround. I recently checked my credit report only to find them saying that I'm further behind than what I really am, and that they almost doubled my interest rate that is supposed to be fixed. They keep sending threatening letters of foreclosure, and saying that I need to pay half of what my home is worth to save myself from foreclosure. Don't deal with these con-artists.

They were shocked to hear that the escrow review was complete and I had already received a copy of the review. I gave up on dealing with this company and just paid off the loan balance per their quote AND received a refund from an overpayment. Today I have received a bill from their collection agency again!

    On May 17, 2012, Nichols Kaster, PLLP filed a class action lawsuit in the Northern District of New York on behalf of Plaintiff Gordon ** and other borrowers with mortgages serviced by Citibank or Midland Mortgage. The Complaint alleges that Citibank and Midland Mortgage routinely force-place excessive amounts of flood insurance on borrowers, and improperly arrange for commissions for themselves or their affiliates on force-placed policies.

    **’s story was the subject of a recent article in the Syracuse Post-Standard. According to the Complaint, Citibank unlawfully required ** to carry flood insurance coverage that exceeded the amount of his loan balance by more than $100,000. After **’s mortgage was acquired by Midland, Midland required ** to carry an even greater amount of flood insurance ($237,349). Midland’s requirement was approximately fourteen times **’s small loan balance of less than $17,000.

    The lawsuit further alleges that both Citibank and Midland Mortgage purchased expensive “force-placed” insurance coverage out of **’s escrow account to meet their onerous flood insurance requirements, which are inconsistent with the terms of Plaintiff’s mortgage, HUD requirements, and federal law. In connection with this force-placed coverage, the lawsuit alleges that both lenders and/or their affiliates received improper kickbacks or commissions.

Well all I want to know is which corporate ** to send the keys to and I hope they enjoy their house in the ghetto. I refuse to follow rules I did not agree upon when I took out a mortgage for this house.

Payments were returned due to Midland wanting proof of employment. Would not restructure loan and sent foreclosure notice. Withdrew the amount owed to Midland from IRA to get current. Going on the hardship program made matters worse, should have just made my payments from the money in my IRA account. Refinanced loan with another bank.

At first, they wouldn't even talk to me unless I could give them the phone number of my address in 2007 (I couldn't remember it). Then they wanted to know how much my monthly payments were, exactly (couldn't remember that either). Finally was able to provide them tax info as verification since my loan number, social security number, and other personal info was apparently not acceptable.

    I called today to get the status of the escrow check. They said it should mail October 10th. Really?? Six weeks later?? I am pretty sure they would have charged me if it took me over 30 days to send *them* a payment! Their customer service is abysmal. Just getting to the point where I could talk to a person was a nightmare. I used the phone number on the escrow letter but without an active loan number I was stuck in a loop for a long, long, long time.

    I had trouble making payments in 2011. Late fees were adding up. They eventually stopped taking payments saying that they weren't what I owed them. Went to a local non-profit agency to see about getting my mortgage modified. My first mistake. During the process, Midland kept saying that they wanted me to keep my home but was also filing foreclosure proceedings at the same time. Eventually, they said that they couldn't lower the payments low enough for me to afford them but said if I lowered my food budget to $100/mo, they could spread what I owed them over 3 to 5 years and add that to my regular payment.

    They couldn't lower the payments to what I could afford but I could afford a higher payment. They either thought I was that stupid or they knew that I would turn down the offer and they could say that I wasn't being reasonable. Needless to say, I lost the house. Lived in a motel for a year and a half until my money and unemployment ran out. Then in a homeless shelter for three weeks while I swallowed my pride and asked for help.

Then the last statement it shares is if you disconnect the phone before you receive a confirmation number, then your payment is not made. I followed this process twice and both times the company disconnected from me and never provided a confirmation number. I wonder if a mortgage lender could be penalized by the federal government when they prevent the customer to make their payments and potentially hurt the customer's credit rating or they cause additional fees to be paid by their customers.

I received the check from the insurance company that was made out to the homeowner as well as her mortgage company, Midland Mortgage. I sent the check in, as well as the estimate of repairs, the contract between myself and the homeowner, my tax information, and the insurance company's explanation of benefits to Midland Mortgage to be signed off on and returned for payment of repairs. Midland Mortgage did not call, communicate or send any info. I called to check the status of the check and they refused to speak to me (even after them having a copy of a signed, legal contract between the homeowner and I).

    I advised the homeowner and she called and advised them to add me to her accounts contact list. They refused unless she sent a notarized copy in. We finally got that done, then they sent her several sheets of paper to fill out and that I had to fill out (which was overkill due to the fact they were the same type of documents that I had already sent them). We filled those out and sent them in - still nothing. I called them back and they were requesting a copy of the insurance company's adjuster’s report (explanation of benefits). I advised them that I had already sent that to them, they stated it was not on proper insurance company letterhead. I advised them that the insurance company had hired an independent adjusting firm to handle the file. They said that wasn't their problem, and they needed it on insurance company letterhead. I called the insurance company and they stated that it was ridiculous, but they would do it if they received the request from the mortgage company.

    I called back Midland mortgage company and they stated that it wasn’t their job to request anything from the insurance company. They have now had the check for going on 3 months drawing interest on it and refuse to release it. I am also a licensed insurance adjuster here in Texas and know that Texas Department of Insurance requires mortgage companies to sign off on and return insurance checks to the insured within 30 days or show just cause why they did not.

Thanks for the support, Midland! Now, I have to wait another year to refinance. I don't care if the rates stay the same; I'm refinancing just to stop giving you my money. I had 22 years in the military and never missed a payment on anything even while I was deployed. And this sorry excuse for a mortgage company can cut me a little slack. God bless America.

    In September of 2012, my father passed away. My parents had never been late on the house payment. Up to that time, it was with US Bank and they sold it to Midland. My father kept saying there was something wrong. Within a short time, a man walked passed the house to see what's the worth without going in and the taxes were raised. My parents being over 70 and my dad, a vet for 25 years, the house payment went from $675 to $975. Now, this all started in June and by September, my father passed away. Now, she has asked them to help her work this out and they would not answer her.

    So I went to the internet to find help. It's called the HAMP plan through the government. It's a remodified mortgage plan to help people from losing their homes. She was told to send in the info they need. She did 3 times and they said she sent it to the wrong place. That doesn't sound right, does it? She kelp after them for 3 months and they will not help her. Now under that HAMP law, I do believe Midland Mortgage has broken the law and I'm telling others to be careful. My mom said if they want it that bad, they can have it in 3 months.

    We had a perfectly reasonable loan experience with the originator of our mortgage. Then, it went to Midland Mortgage and it has been nothing but a nightmare since. They bought our mortgage, which is in MA, and are unwilling to work with us because 'we only refinance in two states and MA isn't one of them.' A couple of years ago, they adjusted our escrow by $5/month, did not notify us, and hit our credit report when we didn't pay the additional $5. We paid $2,000, why wouldn't we pay the extra $5 if we knew about it?

    According to the Making Home Affordable Website, they are participating in a Principal Reduction program. Given our home is incredibly underwater, we thought this would be a great fit. I was told to submit an application; they hit our credit reports with inquiries, and guess what? Denied. "You can afford your mortgage. We're not helping you." Yes, we are their cash cow with our 6.5% interest rate. Why would they help us right size our mortgage? Their 'Customer Service' department is full of condescending, unhelpful people.

    I have been making my mortgage payment since 1987 & have not ever been reported to a credit agency for late payment till MM recently took over my mortgage. If you make a payment online after the 8th of the month, the fee is $10. If you make a payment on their automated phone system, the fee is $15. And if you make a payment over the phone with a live representative, the fee is $20! Conclusion: if I do not want to be reported to the credit bureau as late pay, you are required to pay MM to make a payment! They are extremely unprofessional & need to be reported. On 10/10/2012, this company's accreditation in BBB was revoked by BBB's Board of Directors due to failure to participate in BBB arbitration despite pre-committing to do so.

    I had a wonderful neat mortgage company called Rocky Mountain Mortgage that was wonderful to work with and I loved them. Well unfortunately, my mortgage was sold to Midland Mortgage. I fell behind one month in 2008 and asked them if they could work out something with me to catch me up and they said no! The only thing they said that they were willing to do for me was to say that I should be two months late, and then they would let me apply for a modification. Since I thought I had no choice, I did it. Well, they pushed out the acceptance of the modification for seven months. I kept calling and they kept saying that it was still being worked on and it was nice not to have a payment for seven months, and I was able to pay off things. But when the modification was done, they had added $350 a month on to my payment and three years onto my loan.

    I received an inheritance and was able to pay the huge payment for six years. My payment is now $1,735 monthly at six and a quarter percent and they added three years on to my loan. I have tried multiple times to refinance, but no one will refinance me because of this so-called modification. When I tried for assistance with Midland, they said that I spent more than I made, that I did not have a modification anymore and that I didn't qualify for anything. I am now working with a HUD counselor to see if perhaps Midland can lower my payment out of the goodness of their hearts. Why are these companies allowed to buy up everything and refuse to refinance anyone and still be in business? The counselor told me that she thought they did nothing wrong. Well, I disagree and it seems to me that a lot of other people disagree with me. What can we do to get them in trouble for their horrible practices?

    My home went into foreclosure. So I went to credit counseling recommended by HUD. And while on speaker phone, the Midland Mortgage representative stated all I needed to do was send in the back payments and the loan would be caught up and out of foreclosure. That's right, they lied, with witness present. I also requested a statement of what fees I was required to pay and was told by Tara **, the dept. supervisor, that they could not do that. They refused repeatedly. So in other words, they told me to blindly wire the money to the bank and then they would send the paperwork. It sounds like a scam the federal government warns honest citizens to watch out for. To top it all off, they required my payment to be increased from $611 each month to $1,460 each month. That sounds fair and helpful. Take $4,500 in fees and more than double my payment so I will still lose the home. They are all criminals.

They told us to mail a letter and have them removed. This was Sept. 2010. I waited a week and called (like it has been stated above it takes forever to reach anyone). They told me that they didn’t have the letter, so I waited for a long time until April 2011. I asked them what was going on. They told me they never got the letter. So, we sent a registered letter (so I knew who gets it). I called and they said that they didn’t receive it. I said, “What? I have the card right here saying who side for it, what time.” They still said they didn’t have it. Then, they said to fax it, so we just let it go.

    This last month I called and asked what number can we fax this letter to. They gave me the number. We typed out a letter and Brad signed it, and we faxed it to that number. I logged in to our account and there they were still there. I called and asked what was going on. I’ve seen that it was posted that they got it on the 8th. Well, now it posted that they received the fax, but they didn’t know where it was, and that it would take 48 hours to post.

After fighting with the guy because he wanted us to send another fax, I told him that I wasn’t sending another thing that’s going to cost money. We had done all that they had asked and now you want us to go through this again. Forget it not happening. Finally, I said to him that I work for a mortgage company, so don’t tell me that you can’t.

    The opening agent was Lori ** and the closing agent was Andrea **. The closing was on October 26, in which a promised $690 interest rate credit was not given and an additional undisclosed fee of $475 was added.

    Throughout August, interest rates fell. On August 24 at 2:25pm, I called Mark ** and asked him to lock the interest rate at a lower rate. Mark explained that I could keep the rate at 3.875 percent and receive a credit for $690. He said that I should confirm this by sending him an email, which I did at 2:53pm.

    On October 20th, Mark informed me that he never locked the rate as I had requested, he would not honor our agreement, and claimed that interest rates had risen so that only $150 credit could be given. I forwarded the email to him, however he ignored it and would not respond to my request. The 15-year rate fell from 3.44 on August 26 to 3.26 on October 7th, so I found his claim that rates had risen questionable. Mid-Island Mortgage did not issue any interest rate credit at the closing.

    The GFE had an application fee of $545, and $2,200.64 in additional fees. Without any disclosure Mid-Island Mortgage added an additional "document fee" of $475 to a legal firm hired by Chase known as Reis Cooper LLP. This non-disclosed fee added to line 105 on the HUD-1 is an additional 17% of the total GFE fees. Furthermore, the mortgage with Chase doesn't disclose a prepayment penalty. Lastly, the title insurance was $400 in the GFE and $462.72 at the closing. Total Losses that should be reimbursed: $1,227.72.

    Mark ** and Lori ** were misleading, evasive and overall unprofessional. My wife and I have more than 100 emails and made about as many phone calls with Mark ** and Lori ** asking for status updates because they rarely answered the phone or replied to messages. I had also specifically requested in numerous prior to emails and phone conversations that the mortgage be processed and approved having an appraisal on the property completed. Despite this guarantee by Mid-Island Mortgage, Lori ** continued to ask me for more information for their underwriting team to approve the loan even though she had said that it was already approved before. While I responded to all of their information request immediately, their tactics dragged the process on for nearly 3 months. I asked them numerous times via email and over the phone to resolve these issues, however they refused. Whatever you can do to help me recover the lost money would be greatly appreciated.

    In April of 2011, we suffered damage to our home from a natural disaster. Our insurance adjuster estimated our damage to be nearly $15,000, and made the check out to both myself and midland mortgage. After sending in all required paperwork, it took nearly 2 months for midland mortgage to finally send the first disbursement of money payable to the contractor, who mind you had already replaced the roof. Once the contractor deposited the check, Midland denied him the fund, because he did not correctly endorse the check.

    I have spoken with several different representatives, all of whom have no idea how this company works, yet feel entitled to give false information. I requested an inspection to be completed, in order to pay my contractor for the work that had been completed. I was assured the paperwork had been submitted, approved, and received by an inspector 4 days prior to this phone call. I was also shown by the inspector himself that the fax with my information and request came in 9 minutes after that precise phone call. I followed every direction in receiving a second disbursement. Once my inspection was sent in, I was sent a letter in the mail. It stated that my claim could not be processed until a final disbursement form was completed. This form, not only states it is a final disbursement, but also requires both mine and the contractor's signature, stating all repairs are 100% complete. Their guidelines specifically state we must have an inspection when repairs are 50% complete, and a second disbursement will be sent out. Nowhere does it state that this form is required until our request for a third and final disbursement, that it then requires our signatures to state that all repairs are 100% complete.

    Why on earth would we sign a form stating repairs are 100% complete when they are not? However, Midland sent a letter stating this form is required with all inspections. Yet, it is not in any direction in the loss draft packet I received from them. None of the 2 representatives, supervisor or representative for the vice president told me I needed this form. So, they have not only denied my contractor his first payment, they have held his second payment until a form is completed. That form states all of the work is done, when he, me, the inspector and all inspection paperwork clearly state that only 85% of the work is complete.

    Getting a supervisor or someone, with authority and knowledge to call me back or get on the phone, is a nightmare. Every time I request to speak to one, I get put on hold, under the impression the representative is getting someone. And then, I will have the exact representative return to the phone to tell me information she "sees" on her computer. It recently took 3 requests for the girl to finally transfer me to her supervisor. This service is unacceptable. And by them holding our $15,000 check in their bank, they are making interest off of it each month. It has been 5 months now. This should be settled and paid out. And any interest received off our check, should be divided amongst them and myself, who the check was clearly made out to by the insurance company.

    Like others, my mortgage was sold by another mortgage company to Midland Mortgage about four or five years ago. In late 2010, I was informed by Midland that I was behind one payment and was charged a late fee. I was not able to figure out what month I was supposedly behind, since I had been paying on time for at least a year and no longer get my canceled checks. When I asked Midland, they told me that they did not have the ability to determine what month. I continued to be charged late fees each month. They eventually sent me a computer print-out of my payment activities, etc., from the past year with little help to me.

    After more than a year of this occurrence and nearly $200 in late fees charged to my account, I finally got a Midland mortgage counselor to determine that the missed payment happened in the fall of 2009. I questioned WHY I was not informed EARLIER of the missed payment, or was it to collect late fees from me (like so many others)?

    In May, Midland sent me my new coupon payment booklet with all the late fees added to my monthly mortgage payments (spread out) for the coming year. I began paying my new payments this month (7-11) ON TIME. Last week I received another late payment statement in the mail from them with additional late fees added AGAIN. Then, as usual, one of their mortgage counselors called me and asked why my July payment hasn't been sent yet. I told him that it was sent two weeks ago and that those previous late fees have already been added to my new coupons and are being paid throughout this next year. I then questioned him as to why he's calling me and why the late fees again. His reply was that "they only go by the information they have on their computer, which is in a different department!"

    I have also asked them about refinancing my loan since I'm currently paying 10% and need it lowered to the current rate. I have received nothing but the RUN AROUND from them.

I had just spoken with Midland a week ago stating that I would make the full payment and a half by the end of the month. A payment on 16th and the balance by the 30th.

    I didn't understand why they were calling me a week later asking the same questions that they had notes on. She told me that they would not accept the full payment but they need it all at the same time. I explained that I felt it was wrong to tell the customer that they couldn't send a payment. She expressed the rules and rights in the payment book regarding the right to refuse payments. This goes right along with the other issues I have had with this horrible nightmare of a company. My escrow amounts are raised each year when my taxes or insurance would not go up. I called and they explained that it was due to a new right that they have. I am required to keep $1000.00 dollars over the amount of both the taxes and insurance in the escrow over the life of the loan which is 30 years.

    I've made request to pay my own escrow but they have not allowed me to. Is it their right to gain money in an account for interest purposes from homeowners? I think not!

    The company Midland Mortgage sent us a notice, stating that we needed to pay an amount of $2,152.00 due to unpaid late charges. I have a bank account that pays the company electronically. The letter claimed we have yet to pay for the month of September in addition to previous months. I did pay for the month of September on the 10th to prevent any late fees that would apply after the 16th each month and I have attached proof that it was done electronically.

    In April 2005, my husband and I filed for bankruptcy number 13. Because of that, the Midland Mortgage did not charge us for unpaid late fees. Since 5 years have passed, the company now can charge. They claim they never receive the payments on time, including this year, but my bank always pays before the due date (before the 16th of every month).

    I would like for you to investigate this situation because this is unjust. This home is our only house and we cannot afford to lose it due to a misunderstanding. I believed the safest way to pay the charges on time was to do so electronically before the due date, but I have no idea why I am receiving these notices. On my 3 credit reports, it does not state any late payments relating to this situation. On the credit bureau, Midland Mortgage Company puts the wrong amount of money that we owe within the principal activity.

    Midland purchased our home loan. At the time, we had automated transfer of payment, that was taken out the 5th of every month. Midland, in the beginning, was taking the payment from our account on the 5th of every month, however we noticed the payment is not taken out, until the 16th of every month. We pay an extra $300 a month on the mortgage, so that the house would be paid off early, but because they do not take the payment when they are suppose to, we are paying more interest, and less on the principal. We want to have our bank make the payment, at the first of each month, but have been unable to talk to anyone to have the automatic transfer stopped. The website is down, and who knows when it will be up and running again. We are being cheated out of money, and would welcome any advise on how to stop this madness.

    My husband has just become disabled, and his income will decrease. It will take him longer to pay off the mortgage that we know would be paid off sooner, if Midland would post the payment on the correct date. My husband's medicine is costly, and this will cause a hardship on him.

They put me on the unemployment program and did not tell me all the facts. In June, 2010 MG told me I needed to pay $1315.00 by 6/15/2010 to keep my home out of foreclosure. I sent the $1315.00 and all of the paperwork he ask for overnight USPS. Called day after day and was not able to speak with him.

    Now I am told I need to send more paperwork of which I sent 3 out of 5 and Stephanie tells me there is no use sending the remaining 2 that I do not qualify for any assistance and the foreclosure will go forward if I do not have $3500.00 (of which I do not). I have lived here for 20 years and was not late or missed a payment until I was laid off. I pawned all I own to get the $1315.00 and it was for nothing.

    After working hard for the old AT&T, I was downsized. With 2 Masters, I had trouble finding work. I went through my stock, my savings, and my 401k to maintain my house payments. Came August 2009, and I could not make my payments on $137 a week unemployment. Thank goodness for the extensions, but that just paid gas for the car to go to interviews and my generic medicine for diabetes and some food. There was no heat in the winter, nor AC in the summer and no TV (much less flat screen with surround sound).

    I finally got a temporary position in December and was hoping that it would go full time. I asked the Midland people not to call me at work; I was working CSR and it is hard to talk to customers and have your cell phone ringing. I thought that I had found a non-profit to assist me, but that is another entry. The Hope people set me back almost as badly as the Midland people did.

    I asked for mitigation and mainly I got a kid telling me that I spent too much at the grocery store. I wish I could live on potatoes and PBJ sandwiches. I started talking to my credit union about a new mortgage at a lower rate. The Midland mortgage was 22 years old and at 10% (which was a good rate in 1988!). Midland sends me to foreclosure when I spoke of getting a new loan and just paying them off. There went the FICO score. And the employer said that it was not working out. (I think it was all of those calls at work? )

    I went back to a temporary job scoring No Child Left Behind tests (depressing in itself, the future in America is very depressing for the children who think that they are getting an education!) No one would talk to me since I did not have regular employment.

    Then I got a real job: good money, a contract, benefits, everything. I sent Midland the contract and get piles of documents that they wanted to go into mitigation. I was going broke copying at the library at 15c a copy, much less mailing these to Midland. They wanted to know why I did not fax the documents at the same time they were telling me that they never received them. I called and went over my income and expenses (since they did not have the form I mailed in ) "Sounds great, I will forward this to the Mitigation people and a counselor will contact you."

    Now, true, I had gotten a Foreclosure notice from Raymond **, their attorney in Georgia, but my understanding was that this would put off the foreclosure and we would negotiate a restructure of the loan and past due amounts. I at least hoped that they would lower the interest rate to 6-7%. I had one pay stub that covered one week of work. I was told to send it and the second pay stub (for the month of pay) when I got it.

    The second pay period came along. I called Midland and said, "Who do I fax this to and what is the number?" The Midland Robotic CSRs kept asking me the same questions and then would transfer me to the next robotic CSR who started the same routine. I kept being hung up on. I asked numerous times for a manager and none came to the phone. I finally got a fax number off of their website and faxed the copies. They still say that they never got them. I also sent them by overnight. They say they came too late.

    I had to go to the bankruptcy court to save my house. Now they are saying that they sold it at 12 noon and I did not file until 2 pm. God does not like ugly, and he does not sleep. Midland and their minions should worry about the retribution Heaven will visit upon them. Maybe now I understand why they get tornadoes so often in Oklahoma.

    My mortgage was switched to Midland Mortgage Company in November 2008 from GMAC. I was never late with a payment with GMAC. I received a letter stating to continue to make payments to GMAC until I receive my payment book from Midland Mortgage. I never received my payment book or a loan # or an address to send payments. My first correspondence letter from Midland was a foreclosure threat that came in the mail in January 2009.

    I called and explained to them that I had made my payments to GMAC with money orders as my bank was bought out at the same time. I explained that I would have to contact my bank to get reimbursed for the money orders if they had not been cashed and it may take a week or two before I could send them the payments. I did, at that time, make a payment over the phone that cost me $950.00; my payment was only $790.00 a month. I wanted to get it caught up and the girl I talked to said she would put notes in on my account to accept the $790.00 checks and would waive the late fees since the trouble happened during the transition.

    The money orders had not been cashed, so when I received the money back and sent them 2 checks for the missed payments, the payments were not accepted because they were considered partial payments without the late fees and my checks were shredded. I received a letter from Midland stating that the checks had been shredded and the letter contained the check numbers. I called and they said that it was their mistake that the checks should have been accepted and not shredded and to please send new checks, so I did- big mistake because the new checks I sent and the checks they said they shredded all came through my bank and checks bounced.

    Since January 10 I have made every payment. The January payment was mailed on 12/23 and was rejected because when they processed it on 1/12 or 1/13 (considered late as of 1/11), it was late and did not include the late fee so it was considered a partial payment. I heard nothing from them and assumed the payment went through until I received my bank statement and found out it did not. I called Midland and they said the check was being held. My February payment with a late fee added had already been sent and was accepted as January payment, but I was still 1 month behind and their "policy" is to not accept less than 50% of amount owed.

    I have sent in every payment and they keep holding my checks because the check is not half of what is owed, but they have 4 checks "on hold". I am scared that if I send 1 check for the amount to get everything caught up, that they will send it plus any other checks they have on hold through my bank, they have done it before. I took a hit on my 401K so I could send 1 check for the amount needed and still have the money from the previous checks in my account in case. I sent the check for over $5,000.00 on Tuesday morning and received a letter today saying since I am so far behind, all checks must be certified.

    I called Midland and told them that I had mailed out the check and just received the letter today and asked if that check will be shredded. The girl I talked to giggled and said, "probably". They knew last week that I was doing this because I needed a letter from them faxed to me to send to my 401K provider to get the check. How can they shred a $5,000 check? And now I'm going into foreclosure. I have sent them over $10,000 in the last 6 months and they are foreclosing for non-payment! These guys are crooks and now my credit is ruined so I can't change mortgage companies. I'm stuck with these crooks and may soon be homeless. They are foreclosing on my house.

    My home mortgage was sold to Midland Mortgage by GMAC Mortgage in 2008. During 2009, I ran into some finance problems that caused me to not make my house payment for several months. On October 26, 2009, a letter was sent to me explaining that Midland was preparing to refer my loan to an attorney to begin the foreclosure process. On November 27, 2009, I sent a personal check in the amount of $7855.20 to cover back payments, which was received by Midland on December 01, 2009. After sending the personal check, I found a letter asking that if I make back payments that I pay by cashier check to the firm that was handling the process.

    On December 07, 2009, cashier check was purchased for $7855.20, paid to the order of Manley D PLLC. In January, I made my house payment as usual. On February 05, 2010, I was checking my checking account when I noticed a large amount missing from the account. As I researched, I found out that the personal check that I sent Midland in November had gone through on February 02, 2010. I tried to do a stop payment but the bank said that I had to contact Midland and ask for my funds back. All of December until February 5, I thought that the check had been destroyed. I never imagined that they would send the check through since they had already received all of the back payments by cashier check, plus at that time I was not late yet on the February payment.

    After receiving the response from the bank, I called Midland Mortgage and talked to a customer service representative and explained what had happen. They spoke with someone in foreclosure that told them to have me compose a letter asking for these funds. They give me the fax number and ask that after I fax the letter that I call after 24 hours to make sure that the fax was received. On February 12, I sent a fax and called after 24 hours to be sure that it was received, which I was advised that the fax had been received. On February 24, 2010, I called Midland Mortgage to see what was happening with me getting my funds.

    The customer service rep advised me that a letter was sent to me explaining that they took February payment from the $7855.20 and applied the rest to my principal. I explained that I feel all funds should have been returned to me. They asked if I wish to speak to a supervisor (Charles R) and I said that I would like that. When the supervisor got on the phone, I explained to him also, which he replied, "So you have not received the correspondence?" and I said no. He also replied, "You mean to tell me that the check went through? "Yes," I said and he then replied, "You have more money in your account than I do." Like that mean anything. I need my money back and again I stated that I would like to have my money.

    As Mr. R went over my files, he told me that an attempt was made by certified mail but was returned to Midland. After talking to Mr. R, I felt that just maybe I would get full recovery of funds. A few days after talking to Mr. R, the correspondence came in from Ariel G, customer service representative, stating, "That funds from check number 876 posted your February 2010 payment of $1,084.19 with additional funds of $18 applied to your fees and $6,753.01 applies to your principal balance on February 2, 2010. We are unable to comply with your request to return funds of $7,855.20 from check number 876 as part of these funds were used to post your February 2010 payment." On February 24, 2010, a payment with a late charge was submitted, which they marked it as being a March 2010 payment. On March 24, 2010, I sent a fax to Mr. R inquiring about these funds.

    I have a Mortgage with Midland Mortgage Company. I am Senior Citizen and a Retiree from the Dallas Independent School District. I have been residing in my home for over 20 years now. Living on a fixed income, and to add to this is high cost medicine. My complaint is with Midland Mortgage how they are making every effort to exploit citizens and especially seniors with the run-around they give, never returning phone calls and long letters that only complicate the understanding.
    For the past few years, my home has been in a constant decline structure-wise. Due to my income and insurance I have been unable to maintain any additional maintenance expenses. The roof has not been repaired since the time I have lived here and probably since the home was built. Of course because of this I am unable to obtain homeowners insurance. Each insurance that has come out to inspect the home has indicated that could not insure the home because of the roof. Since I am unable to place my own insurance on the house, Midland Mortgage has placed a “Forced Insurance” on the dwellings. This forced insurance is more expensive and has less coverage. Inside of the home is currently leaking with each rain, and I have been informed by informal inspections that the home is unsafe and that there is a build-up of mold inside of the home. Unfortunately, as many seniors we want to keep our homes. Well the catch 22 is that Midland Mortgage is placing Forced Insurance on my home which is increasing my payments yearly. Of course, this is because I cannot get insurance for the home. The Forced Insurance that they have placed on the home only attempt to assist was to provide $800 for the roof repair. There is not 1 roofer than can or will provide that extensive work for $800.00. This entire system is insane and needs to be re-looked. I have written to the Dallas, TX Mayor Tom Leppert which of course has gone unanswered and have wrote to Honorable Eddie Bernice Johnson, Congress person for District 30 (Dallas, Tx). Mrs. Johnson office however did attempt to assist but only had information on new Weather Proofing for homes.

    We are dealing with damage done to our home by a hailstorm on 7/31/2008. Our insurance company was very prompt about processing our claim and providing a settlement; however, Midland Mortgage (our mortgage holder) has caused difficulties throughout the entire process. Initially, it took over 2 months for them to return our insurance funds despite the fact that estimates, etc. were included with the checks. One service representative laughed at us and said, "Well, it's only September. What's the rush?" By the time Midland Mortgage returned our insurance money, it was the last week in October. We got hit with a blizzard on November 5, all of our supplies sat in a snowbank all winter instead of being on our house. Their inefficient actions forced us to get an extension on the insurance claim. This spring, once again, we began the process of repairing our home. Again, we were forced to wait 1 to 3 months to get our insurance funds to purchase supplies.

    Finally, one supplier allowed us to "charge" the materials we needed to complete the project before the insurance extension deadline was reached. When our roof and siding were completed, we asked for an inspection and the remaining funds to pay for supplies and services. Once again, our insurance company was very prompt in processing our claim and once again, Midland Mortgage was not. We ended up borrowing money to partially pay one contractor while we waited for funds - interest charges on that loan. One contractor waited for 4 months for payment, another contractor is still waiting plus we incurred almost hundred dollars in finance charges from our supplier as we waited for Midland to return our insurance money. Now, Midland has lost a check for almost $5,000.00 we need in order to finish paying for work that was done two or more months ago. At least 6 representatives acknowledged that the check was received by Midland Mortgage. All stated that it was returned to us.

    Supposedly, they mailed out 4 checks in 4 separate envelopes and all but the check for $5,000.00 arrived safely. Now, Midland Mortgage told me it's my fault and I need to put a stop payment on an insurance check and pay the $25.00 stop payment fee. What's worse is we still have 2 open claims on our house that need to be taken care of and we know we will have to go through this all again! Furthermore, because of Midland Mortgage, it is difficult to find contractors and suppliers to work with because they all know they will have to wait 2 to 4 months to get paid. This affects our credit and reputation in our hometown, something we work very hard to maintain in good standing. Midland Mortgage has been the worst experience of our life. Despite the fact that we are always current (as a matter of fact, my next house payment is not due until November) on our payments and we had no choice about our mortgage going to Midland, we suffer the consequences.

    Well, it’s my loan with GMAC (General Motors Associates Community). They sold my loan with an impeccable record of payment history by electronic wire. When Midland picked up my loan in November 2008, I was notified why the wire transfers were not carried to that bank. GMAC said it would not help in the matter, so they stopped it and they would transfer the wire one time but no more. At this time, I then had to mail out payments to Midland and it appeared this is where the trouble began. Many checks were returned with troubling address or zip codes, but I must say they were helpful in assisting me when I called. But I never got the necessary paperwork to get a new wire transfer going. So ongoing payments in some cases would come back to my house.

    There were some errors after another and then I got all the payments caught up by mailing out and I signed received and returned notices that they got the payments and some of my late fees were credited to me. Thank you, Midland. However, by April 2009, I noticed an increase in my payment of $80.00. And just getting my payments solved by writing several checks and repeating into them since I was attending my ill mother of 90 years for three months, I came back to my home and found two returned checks I wrote out on time. But due to inaccurate zip codes, they were returned to sender. Then I noticed April's increase in mortgage and this brought about me calling them. They indicated that taxes were increased. Well, I called my tax assessor and he indicated to me my taxes went down. Also, my insurance stayed about the same, so this indicated something drastically wrong!

    I called back and informed them I thought they were in error. They resisted that thought and after some calling, they came back to say they found the problem: our state requires that we have more reserves in the escrow account than your previous mortgage kept. I said that doesn't seem right because I never had a problem being short for the payment I am paying. The Midland agent said, “Well, our state requires more.” I said if that was truth, your Midland Mortgage would have negotiated that into the 64,000 loans it bought from GMAC in November 2008. Those escrow increases would have been in the deal, but your mortgage is extorting the additional money from me and I don't feel that's right. Why should I pay that?

    They said I must. I said I don't and they do since they bought the loan as everything was fine before they bought my loan. Well, they couldn't answer me and had to get another agent. She said she was going to send me a breakdown of the escrow and I said, “The only way my mortgage can be increased is if my taxes go up or my insurance goes up.” They seem to believe that is true, but couldn't explain why my escrow was not $900 short and it would have to come from me. I said, “You’re still not explaining as to why I have to pay when you bought it negative and before I had no problem paying the mortgage.” Well, I called the Veterans Administration (VA) being it’s a guaranteed loan by the federal government. They said that there is no restriction on Midland to not allow me to manage my own mortgage and I could find a resolution to this by managing my own escrow. So, being my investigation was filed with both North Dakota State Senator Conrad and State of North Dakota States Attorney on Financial Consumer Department to investigate, I sent a request to Midland to manage my escrow and I sent them three cashier's check that covered my principle and interest of my loan with a letter of explanation and request of managing my own escrow.

    To date, I have been served with a default letter and I have signed signature proof of them receiving my payments, but they have not posted them to bring me up to current. I requested waiver of the late fees being they have not given me adequate evidence or justification as to why they increased my mortgage payments when in fact the taxes went down and my insurance went down $100.00. So if anything, I should be paying $125.00 less than what my mortgage is incorporating all for the benefit of Midland Mortgage. Now, I realize I am lucky being a veteran and having a guaranteed home loan, which they allow the mortgage company to give me managerial control of my escrow. Thousands, if not millions, of vets have this privilege, yet still to date I have not had any resolution and now I have evidence of them receiving payments.

    They say that all fees must be paid and I say all fees have been paid and I have paid insurance and taxes, so nothing is now due and I will be electronically sending them payments for the $275.00 payment. So as I said to them this is senseless. How can you foreclose on me if I am paid up and why would you even want to get this attention? It’s stupidity. The only reason they would want to pursue this is to get an extra $125.00 a month for mailing my taxes in and paying my insurance once a year, which amounts to an excess of $1300.00 a year. Well, I have news: I can use that money and I am glad that I am a veteran as the VA administration clearly gives them guidelines to allow me to manage my own escrow. The key crux here is why does the government guarantee the bank the money, and not me and my home, when I have made my payments? Why as a veteran in two wars I come home and the VA protects the banks and has nothing for the soldier who risks his life? And they call this a benefit? What benefit? Any of you vets out there see anything wrong?

    This is private legal extortion and your lawmakers have set it up that way. Now, all you vets out there, ask yourselves what are you going to do when this happens to you. A must - "manage your own escrow"! This is not right and your lawmakers need to resign if they think this is any kind of benefit for military (retired or exited with GI home loans). Some good advice: manage your own escrow if you have a VA home loan!

    I had storm damage to my home last June '08, and Midland Mortgage wanted me to give them info from the roofer, but I couldn't find anyone to give the info without a deposit. I hadn't worked full time in a year due to a heart condition. I had to cash in my 401k in order to catch up my mortgage payments. They still wouldn't sign the $6000 check that I had. Now, my home is in foreclosure and it is going to be sold at a public auction on 9/2/09. I still have the insurance check. Once the house is sold, who gets the check, me or the mortgage co.? My roof has been leaking for over a year now. The house is being sold as is.

    We were unable to continue to make our mortgage payments and did everything possible to have them help us. We had to move due to a deed in lieu, and now, we find out that they our account as a foreclosure. My wife did everything we could to negotiate with them, and they would not budge. Now, we have bad credit. I have never been in default. Our credit is ruined, and we cannot purchase a home for our family for a long time.

    They do not post mortgage payments on time. They consistently charge late payments because they don't have the personnel to process payments. I have been told this by their reps. By the way, I was fortunate enough to get through on the phone. I have sent a complaint to FHA and my district attorney on this fraudulent practice. I am now being charged $300 for late fees which was attached to my mortgage.

    Our house was refinanced with GMAC in November 2007. Earlier this year (2009) we received a letter from Midland Mortgage stating the loan had been transferred to them. How this happened without our permission we still do not know. Payments were being drawn from our bank account by Midland for a couple of months after this letter arrived, and then they stopped and we consequently missed a payment.

    Two weeks after the payment was due, I was looking at my account online and noticed that payment never went out. All our bills are payed by Direct Debit on the 1st and 3rd of the month so we assume any money left in the account after the 7th is for living. Therefore when I found this problem, we did not have all the money required for the payment. I then rang Midland Mortgage and after running around in the automated system, I chose the option of "If you know the extension please enter it now," and entered in a random 4-digit number and was transferred to a person. I then asked if I was speaking with the loan counselor and the person promptly hung up; his name was Patrick.

    I rang back Midland immediately and tried a different extension number and Amy answered. I apologized to her profusely for Midland transferring me to the wrong area (which was not true) and she very nicely transferred me to the loan counselor. When speaking with the loan counselor, he advised me the Government had new guidelines when dealing with the Making Homes Affordable Program and people late on their mortgage. I tried to explain the situation of not being advised my automatic payments would stop, and he advised me that they sent me a letter (which I never got) informing me that the authority was signed with GMAC not Midland and therefore they needed a new authority to draw from our account.

    I then questioned him about the previous payments drawn by Midland to which I got the response that they were for customer convenience. It was not convenient at all. It made me assume payments would continue as normal. Moving on in the conversation with the loan counselor, he set us up with a payment plan for the late mortgage payment. I agreed to the plan he laid out over the phone, that I would pay $850 + $20 (for payment with card over the phone)which I believed equaled the current payment of approx $740 with the remainder to go the missed payment and the rest of the missed payment to be spread across the following four months.

    We received a letter in the mail the following week laying out the future payments over the next four months, which made my payment go up from $740 to approx $950. He told me there were no hidden fees and that this was the best way to do things to keep my credit intact. We are extremely upset because if you do the math of one missed payment of $740 and then calculate the money we are paying over and above our normal mortgage payment during payoff, the missed mortgage payment amount equals $910 and that doesn't include the late fees of $29.40 we have been paying every month since the payment was missed to date.

    No hidden fees though and following the Government rules to the letter (yeah right!). Not only that, but the loan counselor’s statement that following their missed payment plan would keep our credit intact was entirely false. Midland has reported that we have been late on our payments since taking up the payment plan and has reduced our credit by over 120 points. When looking at the website, I can't even find the $950 payments I have been making for the last three months, it just states the previous month has been payed and my current payment is late. I have my bank records with copies of the cheques they cashed including pictures of the cheque date and time.

    I wrote and sent emails to the head of customer service who (after threatening legal action) had someone ring me back the following morning at 8am. They just keep telling me everything is fine and I just don't understand their complex billing system, and when I asked the customer rep to explain the billing to me, she laughed and said "It's very complicated. Have a good day, ma'am," and then hung up.

    I had a mortgage with GMAC. was always complaining to them that they fail to use the technology available to properly notify me of problems. instead of sending snail mail all of the time, they need to send me an email and let me know when there is a problem. because of work, I have moved 6 times in 6 years and my postal address changes constantly, my email address has been the same for 10 years.. my house is rented out....
    Wow. What a wake up call. GMAC pimped out my mortgage to midland. I thought GMAC sucked... midland must be the worst I have ever heard of !!! it is impossible to make a payment online ! no method whatsoever to make a web based payment and the joker I talked to said they have no plans on changing it. Then.. I find out they are closed on the weekends. So you cant make a payment on the weekends either. And wait... they charge you to make a payment on your own account. I get charged $20 for the privilege of them to take my money. Wow... what a scam !!! WHY is it possibly for GMAC to transfer my mortgage without my permission ? I don't want to be with midland. No one asked me, but yet I am stuck now with the bottom of the barrel of predatory lenders. WTF ? and I cant just refinance as my credit got messed up. So I am not STUCK with the worst of the worst. I bet GMAC did that on purpose. I complain about their lack of technology, and they stick me with someone that is even worse than them. I am infuriated... I am an IT guy and this is beyond absurd that I have to even consider dealing with such a HIC mentality lack of intelligence company that doesn't know crap about technology.

    Cannot get in to account and impossible to contact anyone. I reset password numerous times but it doesn't do any good, it says the password they just sent is invalid. Upon googling Midland Mortgage EVERY hit was from someone complaining about them. They bought my mortgage from my original mortgage company and I have been unable to get any info since then other than when I first set up my account. Now they always say my password is incorrect, I reset it, they send a new one, and it also is incorrect. I can't reach anyone to fix this situation. All I get is recorded messages with no options to talk to a real person. Looking at all the complaints about them, I can see why they don't want to talk to anyone. I want to get a new mortgage company and have companies like Midland disbanded, CEOs arrested, etc. They are apparently a scam company that somehow convinced my previous mortgage company they were legitimate. They are probably run by the mafia or south american drug lords.

    In December I recieved a motion of stay request from Midland stating that I was 3 months behind and they were requesting that my chapter 13 bankruptcy be rescinded. They had a court hearing schedule for 1/14/09, when that date arrived my attorney had proof that had made the payments that they were questioning. They then came up with another set of dates that they stated I had not paid. When proof was shown they have not answered my attorneys request to resolve this problem, this is going on six weeks that we have tried to resolve this issue with very little help from them on what is owed. In the meantime I was advised by my attorney in Janaury not to make any payments to Midland. I am afraid that they are trying to let a certain time frame go by and then say I am three months behind. Currently I have not made any payments since December trying to resolve this issue they will not contact me nor my attorney telling us where the case stands. In Febuary it will be 3 months and I am afraid they will try to foreclose for none bayment. I need help to get this issue resolved so I can keep my home. In July of 2008 I was laid-off from my job that I was on for 13 years and now I have to deal with thi mess. According to my records only 1 payment was missed 10/08 and that was due to medical issues that had to be addressed. In 2005 I injuried my back and was told by the Doctor I had a herinated disc, when I lost my job I also lost my healthcare insurance so all visit and meds come out of my pocket. I am contacting my attorney 1/28/09 and instructing them to offer them 1200 and pay the balance over six months. We have tried to make this offer 10 days ago but they will not respond. I really need help resolving this issue.

    My house was damaged by Hurricane Ike on September 12. I received my first insurance payment to begin work. The check was made out to GMAC Mortgage and me. GMAC Mortgage endorsed the check and forwarded it back to me to allow me to complete the first set of repairs (new roof). The second check I received was made out to my new mortgage company, Midland Mortgage and me. I had the second set of repairs started. The second set of repairs was completed prior to Christmas. I paid the contractors out of my own pocket as Midland Mortgage had not released the funds. It is now January 6 and I still have not received the funds from Midland Mortgage. I received a courtesy call last night saying that the funds had been deposited, but more information was needed. When we asked what information was needed, we were told they did not know. When I called this morning, I was told that they request had been put in to release the funds, however they did not know when they would be released. Whne pressed, the just said they had too many claims to process and did not know when they would get to it. Meanwhile I am out 7,934.00 from my own money. If I told them I had too many things going on and would get to paying them when I could, they would be destroying my credit.

    First Horizon Home Loans sold my mortgage to Midland Mortgage Co. They did not provide adequate prior notification of the change and by time I set down to pay the bills for the month my account was in limbo between the two banks and I can't get information on it. The new mortgage company has hung up on me twice when I have tried to call with questions.

    This transfer has created caused me many hours of problems trying to determine how to make my payments. This will increases my monthly costs both in time and postage. I have an electronic bill pay service set up from which I pay all my bills. The new mortgage company only accepts checks or they debit my account. I dont want to give any institution that power.

    So now I have the added expense of having to refinance my loan with another lender. Mortgage companies should have to provide 90 days notice of these changes and should not be able to tell customers it will be two weeks before we have your information in or system. The transfer should not be made until all information is current in the new companies systems. I should never be put in a situation were I cant get information about my own home.
