VA mortgage Loan servicing, payments, escrow account Virginia

My current mortgage company, Caliber Home Loans, took over my mortgage in -, - from - -, and they have perpetually miscalculated my mortgage payment / escrow, which has resulted in both insurance and monthly payment issues that have significantly affected my finances. Shortly after taking over the loan from - -, Caliber failed to make payments to my homeowner 's insurance company ( - - - ). - sent me notifications threatening to cancel my insurance due to a lack of payment. Several phone calls to -, -, and Caliber revealed Caliber had an incorrect address to which payments were supposed to be sent. For the years - had my loan, there was never an issue. - had passed along all the appropriate addresses and information, but Caliber chose to use a different address. Aside from lost time, we had to pay a large lump sum to - to have our insurance continue while Caliber figured out their issue.


to make payments ; therefore, our monthly payment was increasing to cover escrow costs. This new payment was an increase of $790.00 per month! This was a - % increase in the monthly payment ... a very significant amount with huge impact to our family budget. When I called to discuss the issue, I was told the error was my problem / fault. The implication was they could not be expected to calculate an accurate payment. Any error in their calculation, they claimed, was my issue for not ensuring they, as a mortgage company, could do proper math. Their error, in fact, was completely omitting payment of homeowner 's insurance. ( ANOTHER issue with insurance ... ). I absolutely understand that a monthly payment can change due to taxes, etc., but to change by 37 % is exceptional and egregious. There must exist some reasonable expectation between the consumer and the company ( especially a mortgage company ) that basic calculations are done correctly. Their error reflects institutional incompetence ; their attitude shockingly indifferent. They admitted the mistake, but offered no solutions that held themselves accountable for it. I 've never missed a payment. I did not ask or seek the relationship I am stuck in with Caliber. As a -, I can not accept their ridiculous lack of accountability. Their comedy of mistakes has and is affecting our ability to save for our children 's education and our retirement.
