Narrative (may be redacted).

I missed my XXXX mortgage payment due to a family emergency, on XXXX XXXX within the grace period on my mortgage, I made a payment by phone for both the XXXX payment, the late fee for XXXX, the XXXX payment and an additional principal payment. I explained to the representative exactly what I was paying. Upon receiving my mortgage statement for the month of XXXX I learned that that the servicer had charged me a late fee for XXXX and had not made my principal payment instead they had placed that money in a suspense account, so I called them and told them about their mistake. Told them that they needed to reverse the late fee and apply it to principal as they had been directed to when I paid them and to be sure to back date it to the date the payment was made and to apply the money they had placed in a suspense account also on the date the payment was made. They have taken that money out of the suspense account and applied it to the principal as of XXXX XXXX, 2015, on XXXX XXXX reversed the late fee and applied it to the principal but did not make the effective date XXXX XXXX, so I am being charged interest for XXXX days that they had my money. I then sent them a letter regarding the continued billing error. On XXXX XXXX, I made my mortgage payment using their online payment option, I completed the form indicating that I was making the XXXX payment with an additional {$100.00} to be applied to my principal. I received my billing statement from them again, and this time they had placed my entire payment and principal in a suspense account and were showing that I was deliquent and still owe for XXXX and had charged me another late fee. I sent them another letter telling them that they needed to apply my payment as I had indicated that I was not deliquent and to reverse the late fee. I got a letter back from them stating they were investigating the matter and it could take some time. They have yet to correct XXXX 's mistake, or the mistakes made in XXXX, my XXXX payment has been made using their online service just like I did in XXXX, I indictated that I was making my regular payment plus {$100.00} additional to principal. They have placed that money in a suspense account and are charging me a late fee again, sending me notices that I am two months behind. I have also sent them a letter regarding this error, reminding them about the XXXX error they have not corrected and the XXXX errors they have not corrected. I have also been in contact with the actual owner of my mortgage who says he is trying to get them to correct the errors. This is now the XXXX month in a row, I am being reported XXXX days behind, and am accruing more interest everyday.
