Complaint #1326074 submitted on 04/11/2015 relating to E*Trade Bank. Complaint relates to Mortgage Home equity loan or line of credit - Loan servicing, payments, escrow account .

Complaint was submitted via Web and sent to the company on Tuesday 14th April 2015.

Narrative (may be redacted).

We took out a HELOC with E-Trade Bank several years ago. We were making monthly automatic payments from our Credit Union in XXXX for many years on that loan thru a loan servicing company hired by E-Trade Bank. The name of the Loan Servicer was XXXX XXXX XXXX. In XXXX 2015 XXXX XXXX XXXX was replaced by another loan servicing company hired by E-Trade. The replacement loan servicer is called XXXX. We made a monthly payment of {$1000.00} on the HELOC as usual to XXXX on XXXX XXXX, 2015, and we believe XXXX received this payment on XXXX XXXX, 2015. AFTER WE HAD ALREADY MADE THAT PAYMENT we received in the mail a notice from XXXX that all payments after XXXX XXXX, 2015, were supposed to go to XXXX rather than XXXX. Because we had not received adequate advance notice of this change, XXXX is now demanding the {$1000.00} payment we made on XXXX XXXX, 2015 to XXXX. We can not call XXXX at all as they refer all inquiries to XXXX, the new servicer. We wrote to XXXX on XXXX XXXX, 2015 demanding return of the {$1000.00} payment we sent to them on XXXX XXXX, 2015, so we can forward the XXXX 2015 payment to XXXX to bring their account current. XXXX stills says we have not made the XXXX 2015 payment to them because it went to XXXX. As of this date we have not gotten the refund from XXXX and we do not have an extra {$1000.00} laying around to sned a duplicate payment to XXXX while XXXX is illegally holding on to our {$1000.00} payment for XXXX 2015. We 've filed complaints with CFPB against both XXXX and XXXX. XXXX refuses to acknowledge they sent their notice of changed servicer RETROACTIVELY. CFPB wrote to us and said they do n't have enough info about XXXX. We already gave CFPB all the info we have about XXXX. This is the company E-Trade hired to service our HELOC. Since XXXX is probably bankrupt or being investigated for some federal fraud related to loan servicing and it seems XXXX swooped in to take this over for E-Trade ... NOW WE WANT TO FILE A COMPLAINT AGAINST E-TRADE BANK FOR NEGLIGENTLY HIRING THE DISHONEST AND CRIMINAL LOAN SERVICER CLC WHO WILL NOT RETURN OUR {$1000.00}!!! We never told E-Trade who to hire to service their loans. That 's E-Trade 's business. We 've been screwed and E-Trade must REFUND OUR {$1000.00} IMMEDIATELY so we can forward this payment to XXXX.
