      I am writing to formally address a concern regarding the ************************** (***) charges applied to my loan account. As previously discussed, an appraisal conducted by your company was found to be inaccurate, leading to an overvaluation of my property. This error resulted in the continued imposition of *** premiums that should not have been charged had the appraisal been conducted correctly.While I appreciate that the dispute was resolved in March, acknowledging that the property's value was higher than initially assessed, I am disappointed that your company has declined to reimburse the *** premiums paid during the period when the incorrect appraisal was in effect. These charges were a direct result of an error on your part, and I believe it is both fair and legally justified to request reimbursement for the overpaid premiums.Several legal frameworks support my position:Homeowners Protection Act (HPA): This federal law mandates the cancellation of *** when a borrower reaches 22% equity in the home, based on the original property value. If the appraisal error had been corrected promptly, I would have reached this threshold earlier, thereby reducing or eliminating the need for *** charges. ?************************************ (****) Guidance: The **** has issued guidance emphasizing that consumers should not bear the financial burden of errors made by lenders or their agents. The bureau has identified instances where lenders failed to cancel *** in a timely manner, leading to unnecessary charges. ?also, Valuation Independence Regulations Given these legal considerations, I respectfully request that your company review my account and provide reimbursement for the *** premiums paid during the period when the incorrect appraisal was in effect. I believe this action is not only justified but also aligns with fair business practices and consumer protection laws.

      Lakeview Loan Servicing, LLC (Lakeview) is in receipt of the recent concern (and/or request) filed by ****** ******** through the BBB. Please accept this as Lakeviews written response to the complaint. Lakeview takes these matters very seriously. Lakeview is a reputable lender and master servicer who will work in good faith to resolve any misunderstandings with a borrower, as we always want to provide excellent customer service.

      ********************** owns the master servicer rights (MSR) for this loan, however, Lakeview contracts with several different
      servicers who perform the day-to-day servicing for all our mortgage loans. In this instance, Mr. ****** is subservicing
      this loan on Lakeviews behalf. Upon receipt of this complaint, Lakeview started an immediate investigation with the
      servicer Mr. ****** in order to assist with obtaining a resolution for the ******************************* apologizes for any challenges the customer may have experienced with Mr.******.

      Mr.Coopers Summary:
      Please see attached correspondence sent to the customer which includes further details, briefly summarized below.
      Mr. ****** research confirmed that on 12/6/2024 Mr. ******** contacted them to request removal of his ************************** (***). He was informed of two options under the Homeowners protection Act (HPA): First option, Homeowner Protection Act (HPA) required a loan-to-value (***) ratio of 80% or less. The principal balance was $330,994.63,and the loan-to-value (***) ratio was determined to be *****%, so Mr. ******** would not qualify.

      The second option required a home appraisal showing an *** of 75%. Based on Mr. ********* loan balance of $330,994.63, the home needed to be appraised at $441,326.17 or more. *********** agreed to complete a home evaluation and paid the required $190.00 fee.

      The valuation report was received on 1/3/2025, and it was determined Mr. ****** is unable to remove the *** as requested. The *** was *****% and the property was appraised in the amount of $425,000.00.Therefore, a letter was sent to Mr. ******** on 1/4/2025, to inform him we were unable to remove the *** due to the *** not being met.

      On 1/13/2025, Mr. ******** disputed the valuation, and the matter was sent to the *** Department for further review. On 2/6/2025, the monthly *** payment of $77.19 was disbursed from escrow. Mr. ******** followed up on the dispute review status and was advised this was escalated.

      Mr. ******** was contacted by Mr.Coopers agent on 2/20/2025 and it was advised that the appeal was still under review. On 2/28/2025, the *** denial appeal was approved, and a letter was sent to out to advise he was no longer required to pay the ***. The monthly *** premium of $77.19 was removed and on 3/1/2025, the new monthly payment was updated to $2,013.57. The escrow deposits accumulated to pay off the next *** will be considered in the next escrow analysis.

      On 4/23/2025, Mr. ******** spoke with a Mr. ****** agent through a chat session to inquire about his appeal to remove the *** from the loan. The agent provided him with the *** cancelation letter dated 2/28/2025. Mr. ******** stated he was due to a refund. The agent confirmed no refund was due because of when the appeal was approved.

      We trust this is responsive to the complaint and provides the necessary information BBB to review. Should the Better Business Bureau need anything further, please contact **** ***** at Mr.Coopers Escalation Team.

      Complaint: 23242925

      I am rejecting this response because:

      You confirmed what I already know and stated but with more detail.  The issue is that you charged me PMI on a period in which if the agent YOU ASSIGNED did the report correctly on, I would not have had PMI the prior month(s). When I was originally denied.  My house would never be valued at 425k and I had my own CMA done through a realtor to confirm this.  If I knew my value was below the requirement, I wouldn't have paid for your person to come out.  I don't know how you don't see the issue at hand.  If anything, me paying for a report that was not right should be refunded back if anything because I paid for a service I didn't get the results of when they did it.  I had to pull my own information to dispute.  If this was the case, customers should be able to provide the information without someone doing the cma as clearly it's incorrect and costs the customer. 


      Sincerely,

      ****** ********

      Lakeview Loan Servicing, LLC (Lakeview) is in receipt of the recent concern and rebuttal filed by ****** ******** through the BBB. Please accept this as Lakeviews written response to the complaint. Lakeview takes these matters very seriously. Lakeview is a reputable lender and master servicer who will work in good faith to resolve any misunderstandings with a borrower, as we always want to provide excellent customer service.

      Mr.Coopers Summary:
      Please see attached correspondence sent to the customer which includes further details, briefly summarized below.
      Mr. Coopers escalation team reviewed your account, and found that as discussed in your conversation with a Mr. ****** agent on December 6, 2024, the second path to removing *** from the loan required a single-family home to
      have a Loan-To-Value (LTV) ratio of *****%, and based upon the principal balance of $330,994.63, the home would need to appraise for $441,326.17 or higher to achieve an LTV of *****%. Mr. ****** confirmed you agreed to complete a home evaluation and paid the required $190.00 fee.

      As stated in our previous response, on February 28, 2025, the *** denial appeal was approved,and a letter was sent to advise you were no longer required to pay the ***. Mr.Coopers records show during the appeal review, a monthly *** premium of $77.19 was disbursed from the escrow account on February 6, 2025. Your request for a refund of the MI premium was escalated. The request was approved and the amount of $77.19 will be refunded to the account. Please allow up to 14 business days for the refund to be processed.

      It is important to note, a new appraisal is not required as part of the *** denial appeal process.Therefore, we respectfully decline to provide you a refund for the second appraisal as requested in your correspondence.

      We trust this is responsive to the complaint and provides the necessary information BBB to review.

      Regarding our mortgage, we are eligible for a 2% waiver on taxes which was acknowledged January ******. In February, Lakeview sent a bill not acknowledging the %2 waiver and billing an initial excess of over $1,500. We were told to pay $600 extra and that we would be refunded and that our payments would be adjusted for our fixed rate loan. My complaint is threefold.1.) I cannot consistently reach a competent, customer service professional to address the problems.2.)It has been past the 7 week period, and they have not fixed the payment amount. They are wrongfully adding unexplained charges to our mortgage payment.3.) We have not been refunded the $600 extra we paid.

Lakeview is a reputable lender and master servicer who will work in good faith to resolve any misunderstandings with a borrower, as we always want to provide excellent customer service.

      ********************** owns the master servicer rights (MSR) for this loan, however, Lakeview contracts with several different
      servicers who perform the day-to-day servicing for all our mortgage loans. In this instance, LoanCare is subservicing
      this loan on Lakeviews behalf. Upon receipt of this complaint, Lakeview started an immediate investigation with the
      servicer LoanCare in order to assist with obtaining a resolution for the ******************************* apologizes for any challenges the customer may have experienced with LoanCare.

      LoanCares Summary
      Please see attached correspondence sent to the customer which includes further details, briefly summarized below.
      LoanCare confirmed your loan originated as a newly constructed property; therefore, the taxes due during the first year was based on land only. On November 30, 2023, ******** disbursed taxes due for December 2023 in the amount of $1,558.61. The taxes due in 2024 were significantly higher because the property has been fully assessed.A payment of $7,198.82 was disbursed from the escrow account on November *******, to pay the taxes due. Due to overpayment, Denton County issued a refund of $98.92 that was deposited into your escrow account on December 27, 2024.

      LoanCare completed an escrow analysis due to the tax refund on January 13, 2025, and as a result of the significant increase in taxes and insurance, there was a shortage of $8,401.57. The new payment, effective March 1, 2025, increased to $3,427.24.

      LoanCare completed the annual escrow analysis based on the state schedule in March 2025. (The enclosed Annual Escrow Account Disclosure Statement attached). On March 15, 2025, ******** received your online payment of $9,728.43. Funds in the amount of $1,838.73 were applied to principal and interest and $888.38
      was applied as your regular escrow payment. You opted to include $7,001.32 as an additional escrow payment,which was applied towards the escrow shortage. While that amount was not the full shortage due in March 2025 ($8,401.57) as disclosed in the enclosed Annual Escrow Account Disclosure Statement dated January 14, 2025; it was still a significant amount that helped reduce your overall future payments due.

      LoanCare reanalyzed your loan on March 31, 2025, and the remaining shortage of $1,400.25 was divided into
      12 monthly installments of $116.69. This was not a new shortage; rather, it was the balance owed from the original shortage ($8,401.57 - $7,001.31). Effective April 1, 2025, the monthly payment decreased to $2,843.80. As of the date of this letter, your account is due for April 1, 2025.

      I closed my mortgage in the amount of $298,483 and that includes a down payment closing amount of $15,427.18 Lakeview sent me a 1098 tax form for the year 2023 with incorrect and missing information; which has caused many issues and financial discrepancies going into 2024 and 2025. Along with the 2023 1098 Tax form was a notice dated January 1, 2024, stating that my "mortgage balance went up to $314,104.01 which reflects the amount outstanding under the mortgage, including principal, interest, penalties, late charges, advances, and any other charges related to the loan, and any foreclosure or bankruptcy expenses incurred to date under the mortgage." However, since I closed on my mortgage on 2/28/23, I have never been late on my mortgage payments. My first mortgage payment was not due until 4/1/2023; which was paid in the amount of $2.421.65 to New American Funding/Brokers Solution. Therefore, there should be no penalties charges, late charges, or any other charges nor should my mortgage never have gone up. I closed my mortgage in the amount of $298,483 and that included a down payment closing amount of $15,427.18 On the 2023 1098 Tax form, Lakeview reported the following information: *********** taxes paid in the amount of $2,244.64. I spoke with St. Lucie appraisal tax department, and they reported that Lakeview had only paid $1,500.49 in property taxes not $2,244.64. For 2024 St. Lucie appraisal tax department reported that ******** had only paid out $7,218.67. On the 2023 1098 Tax form, Lakeview reported paying: ****************** premium was $1,069.92 in 2023, Had $0 amount for **************** (Lakeview never paid out **************** even though I was paying $583 a month in escrow to go towards ****************) Escrow in 2023: Total deposit was $6,021.02 principal balance should be $285,795.24 ending balance in 2023.

      Attached are additional documents which shows that Lakeview has mishandling my mortgage loan since 2023

      On the attached files you will notice the following

      - the escrow balances do not match for the ending year of 2023. The Dec 2023 final monthly mortgage statement indicates a much higher escrow amount than the payment history list LoanCare/Lakeview has listed on their portal

      - the total principal balance on my mortgage ending in Dec of 2023 is much lower than the ending principal balance amount listed on the payment history list

      - There is a payment of $1,350.30 indicated in May 2023 which was not calculated into any payments on the payment history list - yet for the May 2023 statement they have it indicated only as an escrow amount

      - In April of 2023 I made a payment in the amount of $2,421.65 to ***************** ************************; which was not transferred over nor added to my mortgage loan, nor is it indicated in any of the statements for 2023.

      Customer Answer

      Date: 04/15/2025

      Attached letter shows the actual starting principal balance of $298,483, at the time of the mortgage loan was originally closed on 2/28/23 with ********************** *** New American Funding. This amount also included the Hometown Heros Program assistance program, as well as the borrower's down payment for a total amount of $15,427.18. My first mortgage payment was not due until 4/1/23 as indicated on this letter by Broker's Solution *** ********************. I have never been late nor missed a payment on my mortgage, and I never took out a second loan in which Lakeview/LoanCare can collect any money from. 

      According to Lakeview/LoanCare the transfer of my mortgage loan, between them and Brokers' Solution dba New American Funding took place in April 2023 - and I was required to make payments to Lakeview/LoanCare starting May 1, 2023 (as shown on attached letter) - This further proves my case that I was never late on my mortgage and payments that I made to Brokers Solution dba New American Funding in April 2023 was never fully transferred to Lakeview/LoanCare nor was it added into my account. 

      Which further proves why the transfer documentations between the two loan companies and proof of escrow and any other money disbursements related to my mortgage loan is vital information to be obtained on this case!

      Complaint: 23194161

      I am rejecting this response because: I am still waiting for the SPOC person from LoanCare to answer the questions on my previous email, as well as provide proof of payment to American Integrity and St Lucie taxes; showing LoanCare as the payor. The escrow list does not provide that information. 


      And once again, the question as to why Lakeview c/o LoanCare were not the mortgage company listed on American Integrity documents; has yet to be answered. 


      As well as LoanCare showing proof of their name listed as the mortgage company on American Integrity for 2023, 2024 and 2025; has yet to be provided as well. 

      I have submitted proof to the company of their own letter increasing my loan to $314K. Their escrow listing continues to show inaccuracy- they are claiming $0 escrow repay however payments towards escrow has been made for 2025. 


      Lastly, there are no documents recorded with the St. Lucie clerk office regarding LoanCare or Lakeview being the mortgage company or any transfer documents were not recorded with the clerk office. 


      As you mentioned, the ***** has yet to answer the questions or provided documentations. 


      As far as payment goes for April 2025; I am more than happy to provide evidence upon request. The ****, also needs to provide answers and documents regarding what is being asked from them as well. 


      In regards to your statement below: 
      Regarding the Sales figure of $85,500 on the website screenshot you sent over, I forwarded over to the internal IT team involved.  They explained they use a third-party real estate data provider to aggregate public records such as purchase price and dates. We are notifying them of your information below to see how this can be resolved for you.  Thank you again and we appreciate the partnership
      - will this also be sent over to the St Lucie tax appraisal office? 
      - As this may be the reason why the taxes went up; due to the incorrect information from the third-party real estate data - who ever recorded the amount of the sale property; documented the incorrect amount as well as the incorrect date. 
      - Please provide updated information when the issue is corrected, who it was sent to, which third-party was involved, as well as the resolution outcome. 

      Sincerely,

      These duplicative written requests have already been forwarded over to the customers ****************** company as well as the customers assigned single point of contact. Please note, the subservicer LoanCare has responded to similar prior allegations numerous times already (kindly see enclosed letters) as has Lakeview as master servicer. For any new servicing concerns, ******** is handling directly with this customer.

      Complaint: 23194161

      I am rejecting this response because with all of the complaints; both Lakeview and LoanCare continue to not provide the information that is being asked, not completing a thorough investigation and fail to correct the issues that have been addressed numerous times. Mortgage Payment for April 2025 was sent via check in which the company has yet to deposit and apply payments of interest and principal to the loan as they were asked to do. Forcing payments be made via portal, which is illegal and unethical. I have a legal right to make payments via check and inform the company where the payments are to be added to on my loan. This decision has been made due to thru inability to show proof of being the payor & mortgage company being listed for American Integrity and inability to show proof of being the payor for property tax. They continue to submit screenshots and a spreadsheet; which is not what is being asked of them. Complaints will continue to be sent until the issue is corrected, in which both Lakeview and Loancare fail to correct. ******** has numerous lawsuits for similar actions, their contract, with the investor they have listed on the loan, states it is expired. They were investigated by *** and were found to be in not in compliant with reporting things on time and appropriately to HUD/FHA.

      Sincerely,

      The amount of harassment and unnecessary calls has moved from annoying to potentially *********** think after their federal government action theyd be on better behavior but nope!Unfortunately, my original mortgage sold my mortgage to these folks in Jan 2025.I have a **** loan. That means the policies of ***** apply to my loan. which means that within the first 60 days of loan transfer, I cannot be held accountable for late fees, etc. That means if I wanted pay two months of mortgage on the 59th day, I could.Didnt stop these dummies from continually calling me asking me where my payment was. Even after I explained to them the ***** they continued to call and me that they wouldnt be able to stop calling me. I made a federal complaint.Pretty common knowledge that your mortgage is not considered late until the 15th. Never been late with my mortgage or my rent payment and I never . Here we are in April 8 with these dummies calling me asking where their money is and when I remind them, that payment is not due until 15th They like to tell me that its due on the first period so I just hung up. If youre like me and your mortgage was accidentally transferred to these people and you didnt have a say so in it consider refinancing. If in the business of looking for a new mortgage, definitely seek elsewhere. These folks had a huge data breach in faith, a huge government fine inthree years of continued reparations

      To Whom It May Concern:I am filing this complaint against Lakeview Loan Servicing, LLC (located at ********************************************************) and their servicer Mr. ****** regarding my mortgage loan account #************ complaint concerns:1. Lack of transparency and poor customer service regarding escrow account management 2. Unexplained increases in my monthly mortgage payment (PITI)3. Inability to reach knowledgeable customer service representatives via phone number and also live chatbot Despite being a responsible homeowner who pays my mortgage on time, I have been unable to get clear answers about why my monthly payment has increased. The customer service phone system is fully automated with no option to speak with a human representative unless I am making a payment. When I have managed to reach someone, they have been unable or unwilling to provide detailed information about my escrow account and the reasons for payment increases.I have made multiple attempts to resolve this issue directly with the company. However, their automated phone system makes it nearly impossible to reach an actual representative who understands the mortgage process and can explain the changes to my account. As a result, I cannot determine why I'm paying what I am paying and what has changed to cause increases in my monthly payment.I am requesting:1. A detailed written explanation of all escrow calculations and payment increases 2. A review of my account to ensure all calculations are correct 3. The ability to speak with a knowledgeable representative who can answer my questions 4. Compensation for any improper fees or charges that may have been applied to my account I would appreciate your assistance in resolving this matter. I have also submitted a formal written request to the company directly but based on past experience, I am concerned that my concerns will not be adequately addressed without intervention.Thank you for your attention to this matter.Sincerely,Lane

      My escrow is constantly changing since my loan was acquired by this company.I actually fought my taxes and my property taxes were lower, yet Lakeview still says I am deficient on escrow. This is not the first time. This is happening annually. This is unclear lending and they are consistently changing what is needed in my escrow. How can my property taxes and insurance decrease yet I still owe an increase?

      ******** provided a resolution response to the customer. Below is a recap of LoanCares response regarding the customers escrow shortage concerns.
      The mortgage servicing guidelines require that we analyze your escrow account annually to ensure sufficient funds are collected for the payment of your property taxes and insurance premiums. When completing an escrow analysis, the projected amounts for the tax and insurance payments may be based on the prior years disbursements, unless new amounts due are provided prior to the analysis being completed. As your taxes and insurance can change from year to year, the escrow portion of your payment may also fluctuate from year to year and may result in an escrow account shortage or overage
      The latest escrow analysis was completed on March 20, 2025, and based on the decrease in taxes and increase in insurance, there was a shortage of $820.80 that was divided into 12 monthly installments of $68.40. Effective May 1, 2025, the new monthly payments are $1,667.94. The escrow portion of the payments were broken down as follows:
      Taxes $348.76 monthly $4,185.07 annually
      Insurance $402.08 monthly $4,825.00 annually
      MIP/PMI Disbursement $111.35
      Total escrow payments $862.19
      Shortage repayment $68.40
      With respect specifically to the shortage in the March 20, 2025, analysis, it appears there was an increase in the actual amount paid for insurance ($4,825.00) over what was projected based on the prior insurance premium ($3,758.00). This insurance increase led to a shortage even with a reduction in the amount disbursed for taxes.
