JPMorgan Chase & Co. Mortgage Complaint

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

JPMorgan Chase & Co. Mortgage department,

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

My former husband and I took out a home equity line of credit, or - mortgage, with Washington Mutual in -/-/-. The interest rate was a variable rate of the Prime Rate plus 0 %, and the monthly payments were interest-only payments. We made these payments for years, on time, every month. With the financial crisis in -/-/--/-/-, Chase ( JPMorganChase ) apparently swallowed up Washington Mutual and took over our helc. Chase then cheated us by unilaterally changing our variable interest rate from Prime + 0 % to a fixed rate of 3.25 %. Chase billed us at this erroneous interest rate every month and we paid hundreds of dollars in interest to Chase every month throughout -/-/-. I have all of the old statements. Because the Prime Rate has been at close to 0 % for much if not all of this time, we paid thousands of dollars to Chase over the years which we did not owe the company under the terms of our helc contract. I want a refund of all of this money.


get back to me. I have received a letter this year, which is full of gobbledygook about my helc, and does not even address my complaint about this fraudulent change in the contract term. They will not refer me to their legal department ; they just engage in subterfuge. And they continued to bill me at the erroneous rate of 3.25 %, despite the clear evidence of the contract. Now they have raised the interest rate to 3.5 % fixed, again, completely unilaterally. I would guess that there were many Washington Mutual customers whose mortgages were altered by Chase, and that you have seen similar complaints before.
