Conventional adjustable mortgage (ARM) Loan servicing, payments, escrow account Alaska
In paying my mortgage, when I make payments ahead say on the first of the month, and then another payment on the - of the month, and another on the - of that same month- they charge the full amount of interest each time even though it is 2 or three months ahead of the scheduled payment. I also found out that this is almost an interest only loan, which I definitely did not want. They also say there is no prepayment penalty, but I am only allowed to make payments 3 months ahead?? When I tried to refinance with bank of America a couple of years ago, the loan officer I spoke with said he was very sorry and could not help me. He did not understand why anyone would put me in that type of loan??? They also were checking my credit if not every day, every other, which adversely affected my credit score, and made it so I could not refinance. I started out with an ARM with Bank of America and in 2010, I was ill with - -, and missed a lot of
when I tried to make my monthly payment, I called in to customer service or tried to log in, it automatically transferred me to the home retention team. So no one there answered the phone, I had to leave a message and someone would call back. Well, I live in Alaska and work M-F, I am not allowed to make or take phone calls at work. So they would call and leave me a message and the payment would not be made. This went on for months. They were also adding interest back onto my mortgage every month making my mortgage much larger than when I started, and also reporting me to the credit bureau. By now my credit is very poor from them checking my credit all the time, and from me not being able to make payments.So when the home retention team finally finished, I was in a very bad situation. Then in the midst of all that, my husband passed away. I am caught up now, even ahead, but my interest rate is now at 7.6 % and I need to refinance, but am having difficulty. I hope you can help me out.
