This company is absolutely horrible! They keep screwing up our payments, which are set up for auto draft per their websiteThey are applying funds for principle only rather than half of the monthly payment, then calling us several times a day, asking for the paymentWe have spoken with both customer service reps as well as supervisors, who have assured us the issue is fixed, only to have the same problem againI have checked, double checked, and triple checked that the "principle only" box is not checked
This is not the first time we have had this issueLast year the same thing happened & we even received a certified letter stating that they were going to begin pre-foreclosure on our propertyI was curious considering I had made our payment every month
Add to that the fact that you can't do much on the website, most info comes through snail mail, and I am doneWe have stopped payment through our bank until they get the issue fixed, so I now have to pay an extra $a month to pay mortgage bc they can't do their jobs
Unfortunately for them, they will be losing our businessWe are going to have our property refinanced with another companyHopefully one that has a clue how to apply payments properly
I was in a car accident the morning after I got paid,which is when I usually make my house payment It was Friday the 13th I was taken to the ER and later that evening was released with several types of medication for pain I was medicated and in bed all weekend Then on Monday the 16th at 4am I awoke in a panicI realized it was the last day to make my payment so I rushed to the website I always make my payments online, which is what I did then, realizing that it states that any payments AFTER the 16th will be assessed a late fee I received a text at 2:the next day, Tuesday the 17th letting me know my payment was received Then on Thursday the 19th I received another text saying my payment was returned I wasn't able to call until Friday the 20th to see what was going on and the woman on the phone was very harsh She said I had made the payment on an account that was closed I told her I was using the account and it was NOT closed She checked what was entered on Mon

Goodbye Letter that you received from *** informed you that the first payment that was due and payable to CMS would be January 1, You went on to say that the Hello Letter that you received from CMS provided a service transfer date of October 2, In response, the customer service representative apologized for the confusion that was caused by our Hello Letter and stated that the date of the service

My 9/1/mortgage payment ,payment was made on time But my credit report show different please have Carrington mortgage services clean this up
Refinanced home and was pleased with the process There were lots of different employees who handled application throughout the different stages, but each one was always willing to help and clarify questions and concerns Professional staff
Unfortunately, I still have not received any response from Carrington I honestly cannot believe that I am still dealing with this awful, deceitful and dishonest company Since *** ** *** transferred my loan to Carrington, I have had nothing but issuesPer the attached CFPB complaint dated 04/29/18, Carrington has repeatedly acted in Bad Faith and misrepresented themselves As you can see, in February 2018, Carrington contacted me and promised to waive the differed interest, if I streamlined my loan with them After speaking with ***, it was determined that Carrington’s promises were completely fabricated as there is no way to “waive” the differed interest under this government program As a result, $27,was issued to Carrington on 06/26/to satisfy the loan modification deferred interestHere we are, six months later and Carrington still has not released the funds to ***? And now I am accruing interest and fees on a loan that should have been paid in full six months ago? How is this fair?

Carrington Mortgage bought my mortgage from *** ** *** in Feb When I went to pay my first payment with Carrington, they didn't even have an account number for meThey said to put my *** account number on my checkI had to mail a check because they did not have my account onlineWhen I finally was assigned an account number and went to make my next payment online, they charge a $fee to pay your mortgage onlineThey charge a fee for every kind of way to make your payment unless you send a check to them or have auto draftI signed up for auto draft for the next paymentShe I scheduled the next payment, my monthly payment showed what I had been paying for over a yearSince this was my first auto draft, I checked my mortgage account a few days before it was to be taken out of my bank account and the monthly fee was $higher than what I had posted for and taken out of my bank accountI called Carrington and was told they decided they wanted a certain amount of back up equity and since it wasn't;t there they decided to increase my loan monthly charge by $a monthI never got a notice about thisI was signed up for email noticesSo I cancelled auto draft and told them I was going to refinance my loan with a mortgage company I could trust and actually feel comfortable withI spoke with a local mortgage company and was able to refinance my loan and get away from CarringtonMy loan was paid off on May 29,with CarringotnThey still owed me my escrow balance of $1,Since I never trusted this incompetent mortgage company, I checked every day to make sure they showed my loan as paid and what my escrow balance wasI emailed it all to me and my husbandSo today June 11,2018, I checked my escrow balance and it was lowered by $I did an internet chat with one of their people and was told I was charged out of the escrow they owed me for HUD insurance that was for 6/05/They said it is a legal chargeSo how can it be a legal charge for a loan that has no balance???? They lie and screw you over every chance they getBELIEVE the bad reviews!!! I have experienced a lot off the same thingsWe asked May 30,when we could expect our escrow check and was told within days which we gave only business days ( should be this week?) So I told the chat lady that our check should have already been mailed, she said no we have days to mail it to youSo with only business days included they don't have to mail our check until June 19,PEOPLE DO NOT DEAL WITH THESE CROOKS!!! If you can get out and stay away from them!!!
Our home was damaged during Hurricane IrmaWe filed an insurance claim and received money to repair the damage As Carrington is our Mortgage Lender, they only gave us a portion of the money to repair the house The contractors are completed with the work an need to get paid but I cannot get this company to release the money to them Every time we call we get a different story, problem or some mysterious piece of paper is missing and the won’t process the request We have jumped through ever hoop to have this money released and the process and rules continually change We have had inspectors out who both reported back to the company that the work was completed and I STILL cannot get the contractors paidWe have over calls in to this company about our problem, I’ve asked for supervisors to return call and never hear from anyone and when I call the customer service line to file a complaint I am told I have to call a different number in which no one responds to the voicemails
Carrington mortgage is a jokeThey held my loan for just a little over a year, and I had to call them twice a month just to make sure they was reciving my paymentThey have no idea what they are doing there customer service was friendly but *** ignorent and completely useless when I was finally able to refinance they wouldn't except my pay off because they kept coming up with BS charges that I owed I tried to pay it just to be done with them but they kept adding more until I decided to argue against themI am still waiting on my escrow reimbursement check fingers crossed I will receive it

July 26, Original Response Sent Via Regular Mail *** ** *** *** *** *** *** ** *** RE: Loan No.:
*** Complaint ID: *** Borrower: *** ** *** Property Address: * *** *** ***, *** ** *** Dear Ms***: The Customer Advocate Department of Carrington Mortgage Services, LLC (“CMS”) is in receipt of your complaint filed with the Revdex.com (“Revdex.com”) received in our office via email on July 14, 2016. CMS is committed to responsible lending and servicing and we would like to address any concerns you may haveThe following is our response to the issue(s) raised in your inquiry As we understand your complaint, you allege that since CMS took over the servicing of your loan over a year ago, you have received collection calls up to a week after your loan payment has cleared your bank account. Specifically, you state that you received telephone calls after your June 1, 2016, and July 1, loan payments had been remitted. Your complaint goes on to state that you have continued to receive telephone calls after you have verbally requested not to receive any telephone calls from CMS. In addition, you state you received numerous telephone calls from CMS claiming the July 1, payment had not been received, and you had to place a stop payment on your check after you confirmed with your financial institution that your check had not cleared your bank account. Finally, you state that you were advised that if you did not provide CMS with another form of payment, over the telephone, your credit would be negatively affected. As a result, you are requesting reimbursement for your time and the bank fees you incurred. As a preliminary matter, our records indicate CMS acquired your loan from *** *** *** *** on October 2, 2015. At the time of the service transfer, your loan was contractually current and due for the October 1, payment According to the Note that you executed during the origination of your loan, loan payments are due on the first day of each month. Subsequently, loan payments are late on the second day of the month, and a late charge is assessed for payments made on or after the sixteenth day. A copy of the Note is attached as Exhibit “A” for your reviewPlease note that CMS will routinely make courtesy telephone calls to our borrowers to inquire about past due payments in order to prevent late charges being assessed on the borrower’s loan and forestall other consequences of default Our telephone records indicate that the first telephone conversation regarding a late loan payment took place on May 10, 2016. During that conversation, you indicated that the May 1, loan payment had been remitted through your financial institution’s Bill Pay service on May 4, You explained that it was just a matter of time before CMS would receive that payment as it was being delivered to CMS via the United States Postal Service (“USPS”). Our records indicate your May 1, loan payment posted the evening of May 10, No further telephone calls were attempted during the remainder of the month with regards to the May payment The second telephone conversation between you and CMS took place on June 8, 2016, and during that conversation you stated the June 1, loan payment was mailed to CMS on May 29, 2016. The CMS Representative advised you that the payment had not been received at that moment, and recommended that you cancel the check. The CMS Representative also advised you of other payment options available to you. Our records indicate your June 1, loan payment was posted the evening of June 8, 2016. No further telephone calls were attempted for the remainder of the month with regards to the June payment A further review of our records found that due to the fact that your July 1, loan payment had not been received, CMS attempted to contact you by telephone on July 8, and on July 11, 2016. Because CMS received no answer, messages were left on your answering machine on both occasions. Our records indicate you called CMS on July 13, and spoke to a CMS Representative. It was at this time you expressed dissatisfaction that CMS continued to call you regarding the monthly payment in spite of you already having remitted the payment through your financial institution’s Bill Pay service You further explained that you had placed a Stop Payment on the check you remitted to CMS on July 1, 2016, and you were seeking reimbursement for the fee assessed by your financial institution to issue the stop payment on your check. The CMS Representative advised that your July 1, loan payment was posted to your loan on July 12, 2016, and if you wished to request a reimbursement of fees assessed by your financial institution, you would have to submit a written request to our Customer Service Research Department. Because you were dissatisfied with that response, you requested to speak to a CMS Supervisor, at which time your call was transferred as requested According to our records, the CMS Supervisor explained that your financial institution’s Bill Pay service mails checks to CMS and such payments are not electronically transmitted to CMS. Unfortunately, CMS does not have any control over the amount of time it takes the USPS to deliver a check to CMS. The CMS supervisor also apologized for the calls you received and advised that if you wished to stop CMS from making such phone calls, it would be necessary that you submit a written request to CMS, which you indicated you did not intend to do Before ending the call, the CMS Supervisor inquired as to when you would be remitting another payment to replace the July loan payment that would be reversed due to the stop payment. You responded that you would not be remitting another payment to CMS until you received confirmation that the check was not cashed, and an e-mail from CMS both acknowledging that your initial July 1, payment was received on time and also confirming that a late charge would not be incurred. You then abruptly terminated the phone call On July 15, 2015, CMS received a telephone call from you in order to make a loan payment over the telephone. The payment in the amount of $was posted as the August 1, loan payment on July 15, 2015. On July 18, 2016, your loan payment originally received on July 12, 2016, and posted as the July 1, loan payment, was returned by your financial institution due to the stop payment request. The August 1, loan payment was reversed, and reapplied as the July 1, loan payment. As a result, your August 1, payment became the next payment due. A copy of the loan payment history showing this transaction, along with the transaction codes and definitions, is attached as Exhibit “B” for your review. Please be assured that CMS did not assess any late charges to your loan and that CMS did not report any derogatory information to the credit bureaus. Please be aware that in addition to your financial institution’s Bill Pay Service, CMS offers several other options to remit your monthly loan payment. For a list of all available payment options, we encourage you to visit our Loan Servicing Website (“LSW”) at *** As you requested in your complaint, CMS has placed a flag on your loan to prevent any future telephone communication with you. Be aware that this flag will remain in place until CMS receives your written request asking CMS to resume direct telephone communication with you At this time, CMS must regretfully deny your request to be reimbursed for the stop payment fees assessed by your financial institution as we did not find any evidence that you were advised to place a stop payment on the July payment by a CMS Representative. Lastly, a review of our records shows that multiple CMS Representatives were professional and polite to you while working to assist you with your needs and that your telephone calls were properly escalated to a CMS supervisor when requested. Nevertheless, we sincerely apologize if the level of customer service you received from CMS did not meet your expectations. In closing, please know that CMS remains committed to the highest standards of customer satisfaction and will continue to do the utmost to assist any customer with a complaint.

Complaint Id: ***
Dear Mrs***:
The Customer Advocate Department of Carrington Mortgage Services, LLC (“CMS”) is in receipt of your complaint filed with the Revdex.com received in our office via email on May 7, 2015. CMS is committed to responsible lending and servicing and we would like to address any concerns you may haveThe following is our response to the issue(s) raised in your inquiry
As we understand your complaint, you claim that you requested a current payoff amount from CMS, but after almost a week of waiting for the information CMS failed to provide you the payoff amount in a timely manner
As you are aware, this first lien mortgage was transferred from *** ** *** N.Ato CMS effective April 2, 2015. At the time of the service transfer, you loan was contractually current, due for the April 1, payment and was in an active bankruptcy status.
On April 14, you contacted CMS directly as you were seeking a current payoff amount good through April 30, 2015. Our review shows that CMS processed your request and a current payoff statement in the amount of $107,was generated and mailed to your attention on April 15, 2015, with a good through date of May 1, 2015.
Furthermore, our review also shows that we received a call from an unauthorized third party *** with *** *** on April 30, seeking to verify account information. As CMS did not have your written consent to disclose account information to this third party, the third party called you directly and you provided CMS with a one-time verbal authorization to disclose account information. It was during this call that CMS disclosed the status of your account, the type of account, the unpaid principal balance, the monthly payment amount, the last payment made, the next payment due and confirmation that you had not made any late payments over the last twelve months.
On May 7, CMS received a call from an unauthorized third party, claiming that he had submitted a payoff request via facsimile on April 30, and had yet to receive the payoff amount. It was during this conversation that the CMS Representative advised the unauthorized third party that the payoff request had been denied. It is important to note that our review has confirmed that the CMS Representative inadvertently misinformed the unauthorized third party that the payoff request was denied. We sincerely apologize for any miscommunication the unauthorized third party received. Regardless, our review has found no evidence that CMS was in receipt of any payoff request submitted to CMS on or about April 30, 2015.
Later that day, you contacted CMS directly seeking assistance in obtaining the requested payoff and insisted that the CMS Representative provide you the payoff amount over the phone. Unfortunately, the CMS Representative did not have the ability to provide you a verbal payoff amount as these types of requests are processed by our Payoff DepartmentNevertheless, the CMS Representative did agree to assist you by submitting a payoff request on your behalf. It was at this time that the call was lost.
Shortly thereafter, you called CMS again seeking assistance in obtaining a current payoff amount. As the CMS Representative was unable to provide you with the requested payoff amount by the end of the day, you requested to speak with a Supervisor. Accordingly, your call was transferred to Joe *** for further assistance. As you are aware, Mr*** took your call and asked if he could contact *** *** *** *** (“***”) directly in order to obtain a copy of the payoff request. Mr*** then attempted to reach *** but was unsuccessful; however, he did advise you that he would continue his contact efforts. Later that day, Mr*** received the payoff request from *** and submitted an escalated request to expedite the payoff request.
The following day, our Customer Advocate Department received your complaint filed with the Revdex.com and I personally escalated your issue to the Payoff Department that same day. Later that day, a payoff statement was generated and a copy was sent to your attention via email at ***.
On May 11, I received an email from *** *** with *** claiming that the payoff statement received showed that your loan was still due for the April 1, payment. In addition, Mr*** requested a corrected payoff statement immediately. A further review of your loan confirmed that your April 1, payment in the amount of $had been received on April 20, and placed into the suspense account as our Bankruptcy Department was still in the process of validating your active bankruptcy information. In an effort to expedite the new payoff request, I personally requested that the suspense funds of $be applied to the April 1, payment and a new payoff statement was generated and emailed to Mr*** on May 11, 2015. Attached for your ease of reference is a copy of the payoff statement in question
Based on the foregoing, we believe the record is clear that CMS provided you with a timely payoff statement and found no evidence that the payoff request submitted by *** on or about April 30, was received
We trust that this communication addresses all of the concerns noted in the complaint. If you have any further questions, please contact the undersigned at *** ***, Monday through Friday, 8:AM to 5:PM, Pacific Time
Sincerely,
*** ***
