My mortgage was sold to Suntrust Mortgage in -. They sent me correspondences to my home notifying us of the change. We have never been late on a payment and actually pay ahead on our mortgage so it can be paid off early. Everything was fine until -/-/- when I received a phone call from their collections department. They told me that I had not paid the complete amount of my house note. She showed my house note to be $ -. I told her that was not correct that my house note was $1000.00. She disagreed with me. She then put me on hold. After returning she explained that Suntrust had put lender applied insurance on my home. I explained that I have continued coverage on my home since I purchased it in - -. I told her my policies and who they were through. She asked me to verify my mailing address. I told her it was the same as my home. She disagreed. She then got another department on the phone.

get my account straightened out. We were out of the country and returned on -. When I returned they had sent me another statement that had the inflated $ - payment again. I called them on - to find out what was wrong again. After they dropped my call twice I finally reached their collections department again. They had not removed the lender applied insurance and had charged me a second premium. Note that my annual premium is less than $2000.00 per year. They are now charging me $1700.00 per month. At this point I called their customer service number to reach someone who could assist with my issues. They could have cared less. She sent me to the " tax '' department. The tax department attempted to send me back to customer service who disconnected me again. I called back again and asked for their insurance department. When - - answered I asked to talk to a supervisor. She said she would assist and if could n't help she would pass me on. She reviewed my policy and found that the city in the address on my declaration page for property address insured was - instead of - -. I told her it was the same area but she would not accept. She said she needed a new declaration page. I called my insurance carrier who faxed them the corrected declaration page on -. - I called and talked to - at Suntrust to make sure they had everything. He said they did and I would get a credit for the amount they had charged me. - I get a letter from Suntrust stating they had credited my account back -/-/-. However they were going to charge me $4600.00 going back to -/-/- to -/-/-. I will start working on that today. My issue is they mailed me letters to my home when the purchased mortgage from - -. From that date until -/-/- I have never heard a single word from Suntrust. Finally they called my cell phone for collections Why have n't they ever called me before now? I have talked to their insurance group at least - times in the past month asking them multiple times what is needed to get this resolved. Then I get another letter for something that has never been brought up before. They never, during my 4-5 hours of conversations with various parts of their organization, ever mentioned the lender applied insurance going back to when they purchased my loan. I also talked to them about the extra money I paid to them last month for the incorrect mortgage payment. I was unable to get a definitive answer and face it again this month.
