RBS Citizens Mortgage Complaint

I have a 15 year term 4 % simple interest mortgage loan with Citizens Bank that initiated -/-/-. I always paid the monthly loan payments early, frequently by more than a week or so. Until -/-/-, the bank provided payment coupons that did not itemize how the payment was applied- interest vs principal. This year, Citizens Bank began providing monthly statements providing a breakdown of interest vs principal. Recently, I happened to review and calculate the bank 's breakdown of interest vs principal on a current monthly statement. I found that the bank had erroneously calculated the breakdown, applying more of the payment to interest ( about $40.00 or so if my recollection is accurate ) and a correspondingly lesser amount to principal, thus erroneouly overstating the principal balance due after payment was applied. I then went back and reviewed the other statements for this year and found that they all contained erroneous calculations of interest. I contacted the bank, and was told by a representative to


that the bank send me a print out of my payments and their calculations. Because this is a simple interest '' mortgage product, the fact that I would always pay the mortgage payment early, usually substantially so, would result in a payoff sooner than 180 months. It appears that Citizens Bank has been recalculating the interest/principal apportionment to insure that the final payment is not reached until the full 180 month term. I have not received the promised follow up by the bank. I would very much appreciate your investigatingthe bank 's activity re account. In a follow up communication, I can scan in and provide you with copies of the erroneous statements. Citizens Bank 's conduct appears unfair, deceptive and abusive and a violation of the Act. Thank you for whatever assistance you can provide.
