My mortgage was sold to Suntrust Mortgage in -. They sent me correspondences to my home notifying us of the change.

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.

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.
