During -/-/-, I was informed that Seterus will be servicing my mortgage loan starting in -/-/-. Unfortunately, since Seterus has taken over the loan, the transition has been a nightmare for me. The proper documentation ( statement of account with loan account details ) was never received. The Notice of Servicing Transfer and Welcome letter was not received, hence I was not given the proper information as to where to send my monthly mortgage payments of $380.00.


I was delinquent. I informed the representative ( - ) that I was not made aware of where to send my payments, or the transfer loan amount. I further stated that I have the funds in my checking account, and the funds were transfer on - -, -, in the amount of $770.00 to Seterus, which represented -/-/- and -/-/- mortgage payment.

I have made my monthly mortgage payments of $380.00 and Seterus is not apply my payments and has put me in default. My credit report has been hindered, Seterus is stating that I am 31 days past due, I have spent hours on the phone with their representative stating that they are going to apply the fund properly. I have be threaten with foreclosure. Seterus needs to be evaluated with their business practices. I have lived in my house for 15 years and had no issues until Seterus has taken over my loan servicing mortgage.
