Fifth Third Bank Mortgage Complaint

Conventional fixed mortgage Loan servicing, payments, escrow account

Fifth Third Bank Mortgage department,

Conventional fixed mortgage Loan servicing, payments, escrow account Florida

My mortgage lender, Fifth Third Bank, has placed my home in foreclosure due to a force placed escrow in the amount on approximately $1300.00 which I had no knowledge of. I was making my payments monthly to Fifty Third Bank and they were not applying my payments to my account. They served the tenants that are currently renting my home with foreclosure papers. i found out about this situation when my tenants notified my property manager that they were served. Fifth Third Bank should not have served an individual other than who they were supposed to serve. Upon inquiring about this situation with Fifth Third Bank, I was informed that My home was in foreclosure. When I asked why it was in foreclosure, since I had made my payments monthly. They said they sent me a check each month because they considered my payments partial payments because they did not include the escrow. I had no knowledge of the checks they sent or the escrow.after going over information, I realized, I had not received their correspondence because they had not included the correct apartment number. Now Fifth Third Bank says I am past due and in foreclosure status. To my knowledge I was not past due. They just did not apply my payments. They created this foreclosure by their tactics. This is a huge misunderstanding and I feel it should be reversed because this foreclosure status is due to an escrow I had no knowledge of and tenants should not have been served with foreclosure notice. I requested a meeting with Fifth Third Bank to discuss this in hopes to reverse this. They stated that they will email me to set up a meeting but have not done so. It has been 36 hours since my request to speak to the proper department to address this. I also asked for an address to make contact via mail so I can have written records and they said they could set up a meeting but did not grant me the meeting or mailing information I requested.
