Statebridge Company Mortgage department,

Home equity loan or line of credit Loan servicing, payments, escrow account Wisconsin

In - - - - sold our - loans, a mortgage and HELOC to Statebridge Comapany. While we have had issues with both loans, the HELOC is what this complaint will detail. Although the HELOC transferred -/-/-, it was n't until a notice of overdue payments in - - that we received anything from Statebridge Company. This was after numerous calls and attempts to make a payment from - - onward. Each time a Statebridge representative told us that a payment could not be made because the loan was not fully set up in their system. We were not pleased to receive a late notice on a loan which we had received no statements, and worse yet, had not been allowed to make a payment over the phone even. Given the fact the mortgage loan did n't start smoothly, we had hope that this too would get figured out. We never did receive any statements until -/-/-. Instead we were instructed to go online at or before the - of each month and make a payment for the exact due date so


online fee, or a $15.00 phone fee to make our payment each month. Finally -/-/- when we began to receive statements it simplified not having to go online to find out the due date, however the statements arrived too late to make the payment by the due date, so we had to go online to pay anyway. In - - the statement showed that $2400.00 was overdue. Although it showed payments were applied, it also showed that all payments from the beginning had been reversed. Reversed where? And why? Several calls to Statebridge revealed no answers. In -/-/- we were told that it was a system error and to make the usual monthly payment. The issue was being forwarded to another department to be corrected and we would hear back the following week. After waiting a week and no response, we called again and were told the same thing. To this day any reversed payments have not shown up in our bank accounts, so not sure what it means, nor have we had any luck from Statebridge telling us what it means, other than it is an error and to continue making our monthly payments and not to worry about what is shown as an overdue amount. We again attempted to set up ACH, which a representative now said we could do with a HELOC, but only after the account was not overdue. In -/-/- we could no longer pay online because that option is only available to customers whose accounts are paid up to date, so we paid over the phone. Although the Statebridge representative agreed that there is an error and we should only pay the normal monthly amount, we do not have the option to pay online. Finally in -, we decided to send our payment by mail so that we could include a note to please have someone call us on this issue since nobody who we called could make sense of it, or transfer us to someone who could. We sent this payment the day we received the statement in the mail, which was - -. Our bank copy of the check shows it being stamped by Statebridge on - - - with the words " Past Due '' hand written on the check by -. As if it is n't bad enough, on - - we noticed that our credit had received a negative mark from Statebridge as a loan 120 day or more past due. This took our credit score from - to -. Wow! Talk about adding salt to a wound. To date we have not received any late notice about this, attempts to collect, nothing other than the monthly statements. We have worked very hard to get and maintain an excellent credit score. We pay all of our bills on time. We hope that this matter can be resolved and our credit restored. We would love to refinance through another bank, but as of now we can not due to this issue.
