Stearns Ventures, LLC Mortgage Complaint

Stearns Ventures, LLC Mortgage department,

Conventional fixed mortgage Loan servicing, payments, escrow account Florida

Our new mortgage loan on our new house was transferred to Stearns for servicing right after closing. We closely watched all correspondence to ensure that we sent the first mortgage payment to the correct address, as we have been homeowners for 15 years and have never been late or missed a payment. We sent in our first payment and soon after received a call from Stearns stating our payment had not been received. The payment was not late at the time, it was a courtesy call, and as such we made a payment over the phone with the representative. We were advised to cancel the other check payment through our bank, which we did. Stearns then charged us a $40.00 " NSF '' fee for the check that was cancelled. We called to complain to Stearns about this and the representative stated that they would waive the fee as a new customer courtesy. We just received our next month statement, and the " NSF '' fee is still on our statement. It is listed as having been paid, but is should have been credited on our statement. We feel the payment address error is owned by the new servicer, and we feel that they should honor their verbal agreement to refund the fee as a courtesy to us.
