PNC Bank Mortgage Complaint

PNC Bank Mortgage department,

FHA mortgage Loan servicing, payments, escrow account Maine

My mortgage company is PNC. I have been a homeowner for 16 years with them and have never been late on my mortgage. I have my insurance and taxes as part of the escrow. A few years back I contacted them to see if I could refinance to get a lower rate. They sent someone out to the house, charged me - and then told me that i could not refinance and my house was only worth a certain amount. The town in which i lived had the house assessed at double what the mortgage company was telling me my house was worth. Fast forward to this year, I asked the mortgage company if I could apply for a deed in lieu or a short sale due to the reasons of my husband passing away and my working in another state and the house sitting empty. At first, they told me that I was approved for a deed in lieu, took a lot of information from me and then the whole summer is spent with me putting my belongings in storage, all the while waiting for them to give me the next step of directions, only to be told at


I wanted to do the responsible thing and was awaiting to hear from them to tell me to stop payment. The person I was speaking to told me that they would not ask me to do that, even though I believe that would have been the only way I might have been approved. As I am trying to move on with my life in another state, I find that my hands are tied to seek out another home to buy. they sent me their official letter stating their reasons for denial and an address and number if I wanted to complain. The number was not yours. I found out about you through the article in - magazine. I have spoken with a friend here in Maine who is a real estate lawyer and she was surprised that they had approved me for the deed in lieu. She suggested that i put the house on the market for the amount the town has it assessed at. So now, I get a copy of my mortgage statement which they send every month, even though I have direct deposit to them and as I am reading the breakdown on the statement, it says that my monthly payment of - was received on -/-/2015 and that the payment to the principal was only -! How can that be? My monthly payment is paying more for interest, insurance and taxes than the principal! Something is not right here. I would appreciate some advise and your help.
