Mortgage Conventional fixed mortgage

Complaint #1746546 submitted on 01/18/2016 relating to Alabama Housing Finance Authority. Complaint relates to Mortgage Conventional fixed mortgage - Loan servicing, payments, escrow account .

Complaint was submitted via Web and sent to the company on Thursday 21st January 2016.

Narrative (may be redacted).

My mortgage contract specifies that the mortgage company ( ServiSolutions, in this case ) is responsible for paying my property taxes ; however the taxes were not paid, and are now 2.5 months in arrears. I can accept that mistakes happen, and that it may take time to fix said mistake ( s ), but 2.5 months is not an acceptable amount of time for this issue to still be unresolved. As near as I can tell, with the information I have access to, ServiSolutions attempted to pay the taxes ( I assume by issuing a check ), but some error was made and the funds were returned to ServiSolutions and credited back to my escrow account. I discovered that the taxes had not been paid when I got my form XXXX and saw in box XXXX " Property Tax {$0.00}. '' I have received no communications from ServiSolutions about the taxes, and they still show as owing at the county Treasurer, meaning that if they did anything to discover the error, they either have not fixed it or have not discovered its origin. The easiest thing would have been for them to contact me - since I got the statement from the County Treasurer - and ask me to help them update their system, but they did not ; likewise they could have Googled it ( if it was an address/addressee problem ), and either of those solutions would have resolved the problem in a matter of minutes, not months. This is my first mortgage, and I trusted that ServiSolutions had enough experience and people that when something like this happened it would be quickly corrected, instead, it is up to me to do their job.
