  I have had my loan serviced by Lakeview for some time now. I was awarded 100% service connected disability from the VA last year and have had my property taxes removed by Duval County Tax Collector due to my disability rating. Lakeview has instructed me to file a customer request to have the property taxes removed from my escrow account to which I have filed now online 4 times as well as faxed all necessary documents proving I am no longer responsible for property taxes on my property. However, they are stating they have not received ANY of my requests online or by fax and are telling me they will not remove the property taxes until its time to pay them in December. I am a disabled veteran and this would make an almost $300 difference in my mortgage payments monthly, yet they are forcing me to pay them for a year when the tax collectors office and property appraisers website both clearly state they have been removed from my property due to my disability rating. Every employee I have spoken to has been rude and unhelpful and clearly there is an issue on their website due to the fact that none of my requests have come through, yet they will do nothing to fix it. I am not required by the VA or my loan to have property taxes included in my escrow and I want them removed.

  My escrow account keep having a negative balance. I havent missed any payments, so I dont understand why the escrow portion of my monthly payment isnt being applied. I tried to call the company number but the automated system dont let me speak to anyone. I received an email from a company related to the mortgage company to only say they will have someone to call me. Nobody never called and I will not make another payment until I find out where my payments is going.

  Lakeview Loan Servicing, LLC (Lakeview) is in receipt of the recent complaint filed by ******************************Lakeview Loan Servicing is a reputable lender who is committed to the ideals of the BBB and will work in good faith to resolve any misunderstandings with a customer, as we always want to provide excellent customer service. ********************** contracts with various servicers for all administrative handling of our mortgage loans. In this instance, **************** is servicing this loan on behalf of Lakeview.

  We apologize for any delay and inconvenience this matter has caused. Upon receiving this complaint, we immediately reached out to the servicer **************** to start an immediate investigation. Research demonstrated that the borrowers account determined that all payments received were processed timely and accurately and there is no evidence of missed or late payments.
  
  **************** called and contacted the borrower on 1/19/2024 and discussed their escrow account in detail. As per **************** they advised that the escrow account was effectively managed. **************** discussed the status of the escrow account and provided an explanation of the negative balance due to the out of cycle escrow analysis (EA) generated due to a previously approved partial tax exemption and previous surplus being issued to the customer. An explanation of how the escrow account works was provided and it was clarified that the account may reflect a negative balance when **************** advance funds to disburse for escrow items (tax/insurance). It was clarified that increases in the billing amounts issued by the respective third-party agencies for the escrowed items will adjust the base escrow amount when the annual escrow analysis (EA) is generated and explained that there was an increase in the annual amounts billed for both taxes and insurance.
  
  **************** also advised the borrower that an annual escrow analysis (EA) will be generated this month and that a preview of the upcoming analysis reflects a shortage and payment increase according to preview. Per the customers request, an additional escrow payment was scheduled to be processed on 1/22/2024 in the amount of $1,500.00 prior to the annual escrow analysis (EA)process to reduce any potential shortage. The customer was advised the payment may take 1-3 days to process and that they would monitor the account to ensure the additional escrow payment was included in the next escrow analysis (EA).The customer stated the intention to check directly with the insurance company regarding the status and amount of his hazard policy.
  
  We trust this is responsive to the complaint. **************** has contacted the customer and provided a detailed explanation of this resolution, as well as sent an email.

  In July 2022, my husband and I received a notice from the town that we were delinquent on our property taxes. As our taxes are escrowed, my husband called Lakeview on our loan #********** to open an investigation. Until Dec 2022, Lakeview repeatedly ignored his requests. This prompted me to open a case with the Better Business Bureau in January 2023. Lakeview opened an escalation in response to this but we continued to still have issues resolving the case so I reached out to the *** and this got Lakeviews attention. There were multiple issues with trying to reconcile the amounts posted to our account online. ********************** claimed they paid on the wrong parcel and they sent a reimbursement check for $6k we used towards our principal balance. After making this payment, they came back and said we owed. We disputed paying this amount since they had told us we did not owe this and they issued us a check. Lakeview turned around and agreed to waive the $6k provided we agree not to take legal action against them for anything related to this matter. They sent us an agreement which we signed and sent back early November. We reached out shortly afterwards since we had not received a response. They claimed that their email was down but that was two months ago. We want to resolve this issue and close it out.

  We requested the assistance of the servicer LoanCare to assist with providing a response and resolution to the customers concerns.LoanCare provided the below response:

  When *********** family reached out in November of 2023 to confirm receipt of the Hold Harmless Agreement (HH) unfortunately, ********* systems were down due to their security incident. They were not receiving emails or responding to emails sent. They apologize for the delay in responding back to the Coutures,however, they did receive their HH and sent the attached letter dated January 30,**** in response.
  
  On January 23, ****, *************************** from ********* office of the customer team spoke to the customers to confirm receipt of the Hold Harmless agreement dated November 10,2023.

  I am rejecting this response because: The information that Lakeview Loan Servicing has provided is inaccurate information and does not prove that I changed my profile to my old address at any point in time. The attachment proves that the correct address was on file as that was my first bill I received. I never received one after this. They have had several security breaches altering customers information as well as not securing customer's personal information from being stolen. They are now stating that they cannot confirm my claim in December in regards to the conversation about them stating that the refund check was returned due to the mailing address being inaccurate and they updated via our phone call. I have logged all calls and conversation I have had with them. These calls are monitored and can be pulled to confirm all the information I have provided and all of the lies I have been told in regards to this refund issue. My money needs to be refunded immediately as the double payment was their fault as well as having the incorrect mailing address on file. There is no proof confirming I ever changed my address. I am not satisfied with any assistance they have provided me. They have told me since 1/10/23 that the paperwork was submitted to ***** Fargo for my fraud case. Well Fargo just confirmed that the paperwork was not submitted until 1/17/23 after I have filed an escalation form online and reported them to the Better Business Bureau. It is lie after lie. Several other customers have faced this same issue with this company. I should not have to suffer for their mistakes. If they had not lied to me back in December about the check being returned when in fact it had been fraudulently cashed, they this process would have been under way a month prior. What do I need to do to get a resolution asap? They should be sending me my refund and dealing with ***** Fargo on the back end to get their money back. This company has several lawsuits against them because they are complete frauds. If I need to go to the news media to get justice for me and others I will.

  LoanCare provided the following response regarding your rebuttal:
  LoanCare has been unable to substantiate the claim that your mailing address of record was discussed during the communication with LoanCare on or around December 19, 2023 [and associated with the refund of a duplicate payment]. As we previously advised, the refund check, issued on December 7, 2023, was mailed to the mailing address on record that day.
  We have enclosed a copy of your mortgage statement dated December 8,2023 the mailing address reflected as:
  *****************************************************-3931
  On December 19, 2023, the mailing address was updated to the subject property address per your telephone request. The enclosed January 3,**** mortgage statement reflects the mailing address as:
  12 CAROLINA ******************* 19808-4074
  LoanCare is awaiting the results of ***** Fargos fraud investigation and we have been advised these claim types can take 120 to 150 days to be fully resolved. We appreciate your patience as we monitor the claim and work to resolve the matter. LoanCare is unable to advance the subject funds for $1,400.38. However, in consideration of the circumstances surrounding this matter, ******** has placed a suppression of late charges towards the account along with a suppression of payment activity to the credit bureaus until March 26, ****. We understand this is not the outcome that you were expecting, we apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.

  I am rejecting this response because:

  THIS IS LAKEVIEW'S FAULT. AT NO POINT DID I EVER CHANGE MY ADDRESS BACK TO MY OLD ADDRESS. I HAVE PROOF THAT MY MAILING INFORMATION WAS CORRECT WHEN I FIRST MOVED AS I HAVE A COPY OF THE FIRST BILL THAT WAS SENT TO MY CORRECT ADDRESS OF ********************************* TIME DID I GO BACK AND CHANGE MY ADDRESS TO THE PREVIOUS RESIDENCE OF **** CREEKSIDE. THAT DOES NOT EVEN MAKE SENSE AS I NO LONGER LIVED THERE! I CONFIRMED MY ADDRESS PLENTY OF TIMES WHEN I HAVE CALLED IN FOR VERIFICATION PURPOSES. IF YOU LOOK AT OTHER ****** REVIEWS AND COMPLAINTS TO THE BBB ON YOUR SITE, YOU CAN SEE OVER 400 OTHER CUSTOMERS HAVE THE SAME COMPLAINTS WITH THIS COMPANY HAVING CUSTOMERS INCORRECT INFORMATION ON FILE. THIS IS A SYSTEM ISSUE ON THERE END, MOST LIKELY FROM ALL OF THE SECURITY BREACHES THEY HAVE HAD BECAUSE THEY HAVE NOT APPLIED THE PROPER PROTECTIVE SOFTWARE TO KEEP THERE CUSTOMERS INFORMATION SAFE. THERE IS NOTHING TO PROVE ON THEIR END THAT I EVER WENT AND CHANGED MY ADDRESS.  I WILL NOT ACCEPT THAT THEY CANNOT GIVE MY MONEY BACK PRIOR TO THIS INVESTIGATION. I HAVE SPOKEN TO THE DELWARE HOUSING AUTHORITY, THE POLICE, AND ***** FARGO WHO HAVE ALL STATED IN MATTERS LIKE THIS THAT I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO WAIT FOR MY REFUND AND SHOULD GET IT BACK IM*****TELY WHETHER THE INVESTGATION IS COMPLETE OR NOT. YOU CAN CLEARLY SEE I AM NOT THE PERSON WHO DEPOSITED THE CHECK AND THAT IT WAS FORGED UNDER SOMEONE ELSE'S NAME. THEY HAVE TO GIVE IT BACK TO ME REGARDLESS AND LEFT ME OUT $1,400 AT CHRISTMAS TIME AND WAS BARELY ABLE TO PAY MY BILLS. THIS WOULD NOT HAVE EVEN BEEN AN ISSUE IN THE FIRST PLACE IF IT WASN'T FOR THEIR SECURITY BREACH TAKING OUT A DOUBLE PAYMENT. SO PLEASE EXPLAIN TO ME HOW THAT ALSO IS THE CUSTOMER'S FAULT. I AM THE VICITM AND THIS NEED TO BE MADE RIGHT. LAKEVIEW SENT MY REFUND TO THE WRONG ADDRESS. HOW ARE YOU MY MORTGAGE COMPANY BUT DON'T KNOW MY OWN PROPERTY ADDRESS. ALL THE COMPLAINTS AGAINST THIS COMPANY ARE VERY CLEAR TO THE PUBLIC AND ARE ADVISED TO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH LAKEVIEW. THEY ARE A BUNCH OF FRAUDS AND LIED TO MY FOR WEEKS GIVING ME MISINFORMATION. THIS INVESTIGATION WOULD HAVE BEEN IN THE WORKS A MONTH PRIOR IF THEY DIDN'T LIE TO ME TELLING ME MY CHECK WAS RETURNED INSTEAD OF BEING CASHED BY A FRAUDLANT PERSON. EVERYONE THAT WORKS THERE IS INCOMPATENT. I DO NOT EVEN FEEL COMFORTABLE KEEPING THEM AS MY MORTGAGE COMPANY WHICH SADLY THERE IS NOTHING I CAN DO TO GET OUT OF DEALING WITH THEM UNLESS I REFIANCE. I AM WILLING TO GO TO THE ***** GOING FORWARD IF THIS ISSUE DOES NOT GET EXPEDITED!

  ************** care has refused to review my loss mitigation application for almost a year now. It has been rejected 5 times. I need a no help letter from them to apply for the *** program and they refused to provide one. They have given me the run around until they told me we have run out of time to stop the auction of my house. I have spoken to dozens of call workers and 3 different supervisors over the last ***************************************************************************************************************** to fix and resubmit my request for mortgage assistance. I have been told repeatedly that if I turn in the things Im Told my application would be reviewed, but each time they added made up requirements not listed in the application instructions or on their website. Resulting in my application being tossed out and me having to start all over with the process. They have not once reached out to me giving me a solid list of expected requirements to complete the process. Because my state considers *** being a last resort, I needed a no help letter after a loss mitigation application review. My original hardship was due to severe mental health issues brought on by a cancerous brain tumor in my youngest child. I have had to retell our story dozens of times which has been extremely traumatic and I have been victim blamed through the entire process. My mental and emotional state has been severely affected making it extremely stressful to take care of my sick child.

  Complaint: 21141641
  
  I am rejecting this response because:

  The original issue is that every time I submit all the requested information, they came up with new and more intricate details on what needs to be additionally submitted. Each time after speaking with a manager and submitting all of the required documents my application has been rejected and they added to the list of required documents. This happened three times before I contacted the BBB and this is now the fourth unreasonable request. They did this until they claimed they had run out of tome to review the application which lead me to reporting them to the BBB. This is repeat behavior. The information they are asking for is becoming increasingly intrusive. One example being that I had money donated for my sons cancer diagnosis and the loan company is asking for signed and dated letters from everyone who helped us during our difficult time. Not only is this absolutely unnecessary, it is not attainable as I have no way to contact each individual if they remained anonymous. The company also refused to review my application due to choosing undecided when asked what I would like to do with my property. Undecided was a choice given on the application. They are being deliberately negligent.

  Thank you for your feedback. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused. We reached out to the subservicer LoanCare to assist with providing a response to your BBB rebuttal, as they are servicing the account on behalf of **********************.
  
  On February 6, ****, *************************** from **************** of the customer team reached out to ***************************** to provide the below details and resolution: 
  
  A loan modification review was completed and resulted in a denial due.to the customers lack of income and previous modification falling delinquent within 12 months. A copy pf the denial letter will be mailed to the customer as soon as it becomes available.
  
  The next step for the customer to pursue would be to apply for HAF assistance with her state. Other options available would be to sell the property or complete a deed in lieu of foreclosure. ***** explained that a short sale would only be in instances where property is worth less than owed on the mortgage. And a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure would deed the property back to the investor in lieu of foreclosure. The customer understood her options and had no further questions at this time.

  mid December 2023, we were informed that our loan through Plaza Mortgage had been closed. We didn't receive any info as to who our loan was sold to until the last minute. We set up our account through ******************** and made our 1st payment January 1, ****. My husband set up his bank account for autopay every month. Little did we know, they not only charged his account but also mine for almost $1200. My account and name is not even tied to our mortgage. Every time we call to handle the matter, they tell us a different story. They illegally obtained and are auto-billing my account without my consent and won't let me even call in to discuss this. We cannot remove my account because it is not even tied to our loan on our end anyways! They will not handle to matter and continue to use and not refund an account they were never permitted to have access too. They also did not get consent to double bill us on auto pay every month!!!

  In late November 2023, Lakeview by LoanCare, a subsidiary of **************************** **** ("FNF"), experienced a severe cybersecurity breach. I recently received a notification letter confirming that the hackers were successful in obtaining my personal information, including my social security number. Although my mortgage loan, which amounts to half a million dollars, remained unaffected, I now find myself in a position where I must diligently monitor my credit with all three major credit bureaus for the foreseeable future. Unfortunately, these credit bureaus are not always entirely reliable in detecting identity theft and they are not cheap. Lakeview is not offering any reimbursement for them, instead they opened a third-party account for everyone under ***** which I have zero trust in.In response to this situation, I've initiated a discussion on Reddit to seek support and share insights with others who have experienced similar challenges. I am seriously contemplating submitting a formal complaint to the Better Business Bureau (BBB) in order to alert prospective clients to steer clear of this company. I strongly recommend exploring alternative mortgage providers, as it is evident that Lakeview by LoanCare has not prioritized robust security measures. To this day, they continue to utilize a third-party payment system for expedited processing of December payments, which raises significant concerns about their commitment to safeguarding customer data. In light of these developments, I am actively exploring the possibility of refinancing as soon as possible to extricate myself from the grip of this lender's negligence.

  I had made multiple attempts in making my payment. They blame it on my bank not releasing the funds, spoke to my bank, and they havent stopped the payment on their end. Made a 1st attempt on November 26, second attempt December 10, 3rd attempt on December 16, they contacted me saying they havent received the payment, tried again by giving them my bank info again. A 4th attempt they. Called me again saying they havent received my payment on December 26th, and the last attempt on the app on the 1st of this year. I am now owing 2 months of mortgage because they cant get my payments. I am not sure what else to do as my bank tells me they havent even made attempt to take out the money. They keep blaming it on the customer and I am in a position where I have tried everything and now Im not sure what to do with 2 late payments of mortgage. And on the app it says I am due til February 01 of 2024, even though they havent drafted 2 of my payments.
