  This mortgage service provider withdraws funds for our mortgage payment on an autopayment basis. They collect our funds from my bank directly and then tell us we are late paying. I have proof from my bank that they initiated the transfer out of my checking account and that the funds were transferred February 2nd. After 25 days holding my payment they are saying they have noted my account showing late pay and they will now be returning the funds on 2/26/24. They cannot offer any information as to why they've kept our funds all this time illegally saying we haven't paid. We have had a problem every month with their systems being incorrect since they took over our loan in November 2023.

  Mortgage Payments
  In your inquiries, you raised concerns with the payments remitted to SPS, and stated that you made
  payments that have not been credited to the account. This account was service transferred to SPS
  November 1, 2023, due for the November 1, 2023, due date. A payment was made on November 28,
  2023, in the amount of $4,500.00, which satisfied the November 1, 2023 payment. A payment from the
  prior servicer was also received on November 29, 2023, which satisfied the December 1, 2023 payment.
  Please be advised that SPS was informed that the payment from the prior servicer on November 29,
  2023, contained an incorrect account number. The payment was applied to this account, however, it was
  not intended to be. Accordingly, this transaction was reversed by SPS, and the check was not deposited.
  The reversal was not associated with any stop payment initiated by Mr. and Ms. ******, and it was not
  associated with insufficient funds. SPS sent the enclosed notice, dated February 27, 2024, which
  informed Mr. and Ms. ****** of the reversal. While the reversal of this transaction occurred on
  February 26, 2024, it was for the transaction that satisfied the December 1, 2023, due date. Additionally,
  a phone call occurred on February 28, 2024, which discussed the details of the reversal, the account
  status and the information provided on prior phone calls according to the account details available at the
  time of those calls. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.
  The payments on November 28, 2023, January 1, 2024, February 1, 2024, and March 1, 2024, have
  satisfied the November 2023 through the February 2024 due dates. The SPS Transaction History is
  enclosed for review. If there are additional payments that your records indicate have not been applied to
  the account, we ask that you please forward supporting documentation for these payments in order for us
  to review further.
  Credit Reporting
  In the inquiries, Mr. and Ms. ****** questioned SPS’s payment posting and credit reporting processes.
  Please know that our legal and contractual obligations guide SPS on how to post payments and report an
  account’s status to the credit reporting agencies (CRAs).
  SPS has reviewed the payments posted to the account and we did not find any payment posting issues
  except as detailed in this response. Additionally, our review of the information provided to the CRAs
  confirms that the reported information matches the status of the account; SPS has not reported any
  negative information to the CRAs. Based on this, we will not be requesting an update to the information
  we provided.
  SPS reports credit information to Equifax, Experian, TransUnion, and Innovis. If you are reviewing a
  report from any other source, please be advised we are unable to review or update that source.
  In response to the concerns expressed by Mr. and Ms. ****** regarding their interaction with SPS, we
  regret that they feel our service has not met their expectations.
  As of the date of this letter, the account is due for March 1, 2024.

  On 10/30/23 the mortgage on my late sister’s property was transferred from US Bank to SPS. US Bank was advised we intended to sell the house as part of liquidating the estate. I also advised them a mortgage life insurance policy payout would bring the account current and reduce principal. I am the court appointed Administrator for the estate, documentation of which is in the hands of SPS. SPS has acknowledged receipt of the following: Commonwealth of Pennsylvania – Short Certificate, County of Beaver, Death Certificate, Deed, Appraisal, US Bank Successor in Interest letter, Union Security Insurance Company letter dated 12 October 2023 stating they had forwarded funds in the amount of $150,668.50 to US Bank. US Bank misapplied the Union Security funds believing they were a damage claim. I advised them it was a life insurance policy and not a hazard insurance policy. US Bank transferred the account to SPS before that correction took place. Once “onboarding” of the mortgage account was completed by SPS I attempted to have SPS make the correction. I’ve spoken to the SPS call center personnel no less than 12 times and on each occasion have been told either that they cannot talk to me or there’s additional documentation required. When responsive, representatives have stated the process is “in works” and that the misapplied funds will be transferred appropriately. The estate attorney has also requested a payoff amount. The request has been ignored. I would like to know when that transfer will take place. SPS has had access to the account for nearly 2 months and that is certainly enough time to review documentation, make a proper determination, and apply the insurance funds to the back payments/fees and principal. I advised them I expect that accrued interest/fees that have accrued since US Bank received the insurance funds will be adjusted accordingly. The property is now under contract and I’m concerned SPS negligence will impact the sale.

  We purchased a home on a short sale where SPS was holding the loan. We came to an agreed price back in September 2023 and proceeded with the sale. We closed on the property on Nov 8th and wired SPS the required funds and documents. It has been 3 weeks since closing, and SPS has still not closed out the account, because the seller previously filed for bankruptcy. The seller dismissed the bankruptcy back in August and I provided SPS with the dismissal letter sometime in September. SPS provided a specific extension to call to reach a specific account manager, but I've never been able to reach her. Its always a different person providing a different answer. I called SPS after closing to see what the hold up was, and I was told that no additional documents were needed and everything was sent to accounting for closing. A few days later, another person said the home is still under bankruptcy and another said it was closed on Oct 26th. *** said they would escalate for court approval but it can take a week, so I decided to call the county clerk myself and got the dismissal information in less than 10 minutes but SPS said they need to do it themselves. I offered to get the clerks office on the phone to expedite the process, but they refused and told us to wait until the end of the week. We are selling the property again and were supposed to close today with another buyer, but we can't because of SPS's negligence. It's costing us over $4000 having to push our second closing to December. In addition, someone from SPS told our new buyer that the home would be foreclosed on Dec 4th when that is not the case! It should not take over a month to close out the sale. The title company asked SPS for something in writing saying that since the bankruptcy was dismissed, all that's left is accounting and they refuse to provide that to us which is prohibiting us from closing with our new buyer. As it stands, they have over $350k of our money but we don't have ownership of the property.

  Since this lender has taken on my loan, I've had nothing but extreme stress. The reps have ABSOLUTELY no empathy, care, compassion, or urgency to have an issue resolved. There is never an available mgr, TL, or supervisor to speak with. For the last year, I've received mortgage assistance from an outside company. For the month of October $172.20 should have been applied as an additional payment to the escrow, this request was submitted IN OCTOBER but did not occur. For November the amount of $174.52 should have been applied to as an additional payment to the escrow, for this action to be completed, I had to make the request several times for the Novembers payment to occur. Ironically, Novembers payment was FINALLY transferred but to date the amount for October is still sitting in unapplied. I have an escrow shortage and wanted to make the payment so that the account could be re-analyzed to avoid my mortgage increasing. However due to the delayed actions of the company/cashiers dept, the incorrect amount is still showing so even if I make the payment the amount is not correct so the account will be re-analyzed incorrectly. Instead of the company acknowledging their mistake and expediting the account and having the transaction expedited I'm being told unfortunately even if I pay the shortage and by the time I request to have the account re-analyzed that at most, the correction wont be made until January. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. I want this corrected ASAP

  Escrow
  In your inquiry, Ms. *************** indicated that the Homeowner Assistance Fund (HAF) payment that
  we received in October 2023, was not properly applied to the account. As shown in the enclosed SPS
  Transaction History on October 9, 2023, SPS received a HAF payment in the amount of $770.66, which
  was applied to the account with an effective date of September 29, 2023, and in accordance with the
  terms of the enclosed Note and Mortgage. It satisfied the October 2023 due date, and $172.20 was
  applied to the unapplied balance.
  However, per Ms. ***************’s request, the unapplied balance of $172.20 was applied to the
  escrow account. In the event that she would like to request a new escrow analysis, the shortage for an
  estimate escrow analysis will be $1,178.67.
  Service Transfer
  In your inquiry, Ms. *************** requested that SPS transfer the servicing of the account to a new
  servicer. SPS does not have authority to transfer accounts to a new servicer. As the servicer, we do want
  to assist Ms. *************** and ask that she contact us if there is any way that we can help with the
  account.
  In response to the concerns Martha *************** expressed regarding her interaction with SPS, we
  regret that she feels that our service has not met her expectations.
  As of the date of this letter, the account is due for December 1, 2023.

  Ref: Select Portfolio Servicing, Inc., aka ‘SPS’. Located in Salt Lake City, Ut. and Jacksonville, Florida. On June 28, 2023 I closed on my property located in Broward County Florida. The title company sent two checks via overnight delivery that were received and signed for by SPS on June 29, 2023. The two checks, prepared as per the SPS payoff statement, were issued in a timely manner to satisfy a primary and a second mortgage. This is where the problems begin. And it seems to be an all too common thread in SPS published complaints. Documentation was sent to SPS however they claim to have not received, or could not locate, the primary pay off check. This prompted the title company to stop payment on the check and wire the funds a second time to SPS. SPS is now claiming additional payment is required to cover escrow disbursements and interest due to late receipt of funds. This is a false claim so formal dispute was entered with SPS. They stated they would conduct an investigation on the missing funds/check and provide a written response within 30 days. SPS has not provided a written response 60 days hence. Further to this, SPS is reporting derogatory information to the credit companies and is attempting to collect on 2 months past due payments on a mortgage that is paid off. Several attempts were made, phone calls and in writing, to resolve the disputes to no satisfaction. SPS should close out the final payoff, reverse the claim of additional funds and remove the negative credit reports. I suspect SPS will likely respond with a preformatted auto reply: ‘We are in the process of completing our research to address your concerns. We apologize for the delay and expect to have a response shortly.’ This statement is simply not good enough. SPS is in clear violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act and engages in negligent corporate behavior. I do not accept responsibility for any late charges or penalties brought about by SPS’s malfeasance.

  Payoff - 
  In the inquiries, Mr. **** stated a check in the amount of $296,204.04 was sent on June 29, 2023, to
  pay off this account in full. FedEx documentation was provided to support the date of receipt for this
  check. We conducted an investigation and determined the package in question contained funds in the
  amount of $40,174.74 with a payoff quote for loan **********, which is Mr. ****’s other account.
  These funds were applied and that loan was paid in full.
  SPS has no record of receiving the check #*****. However, funds in the amount of $296,204.04 were
  received by wire for this account on July 11, 2023. Because, this amount was short by $720.54 to pay the
  account in full, and the short amount was not provided to SPS before July 25, 2023, this wire was
  returned to sender.
  However, as seen in the enclosed SPS Transaction History, we received the payoff funds on September
  27, 2023, and the account is now paid in full.
  Credit Reporting
  In the inquiries, Mr. **** questioned SPS’ credit reporting processes. Please know that our legal and
  contractual obligations guide SPS on how to report an account’s status to the credit reporting agencies
  (CRAs). Our review of the information provided to the CRAs confirms that the reported information
  matches the status of the account.
  Based on this, we will not be requesting an update to the information we provided. SPS reports credit
  information to Equifax, Experian, TransUnion, and Innovis. If Mr. **** is reviewing a report from any
  other source, please be advised we are unable to review or update that source.
  Allegations
  In the inquiries, Mr. **** and Mr. Anderson raised several claims regarding negligent corporate
  behavior. We have reviewed the claims and find no merit to the allegations. SPS is confident that the
  servicing of the loan by SPS has been compliant with all applicable state and federal regulations.

  Complaint: ********
  
  I am rejecting this response because:Select Portfolio servicing provided false credit information to the credit companies based on their assertion that the primary payoff funds were not received in a timely manner.  There exists irrefutable proof that the payoff check was sent in a timely manner by the title company and signed for by SPS. There are bank records of the payoff check and a title company affidavit that confirms due diligence.  SPS delayed a resolution to the issue for over 80 days while accumulating additional payments and late charges totaling $10,983.00. SPS continues to issue mortgage statements in an attempt to collect monies not owed to them.  The described SPS actions demonstrate a willful intent to provide false information to the credit companies.  I do not accept the response and will not accept anything less than the original request.  Reverse the payments / late charges, correct the derogatory credit reports and close out the mortgage satisfaction.     
  

  Sincerely,
  
  ******* ****

  Fees / Paid in Full Transaction -
  In the inquiries, Mr. **** questioned information related to the payoff and late fees. As explained in the
  enclosed response letter dated September 28, 2023, SPS investigated the issue and determined that the
  FedEx package contained funds in the amount of $40,174.74 with a payoff quote for loan #**********,
  which was Mr. ****’s other account. That loan was paid in full, and we have no evidence that the
  $296,204.04 was included in that package.
  SPS has a record of receiving $296,204.04 via wire on July 11, 2023. This amount was short the amount
  to pay this account in full by $720.54, and the shortage amount was not remitted to SPS before July 25,
  2023, which caused the funds to be returned to sender.
  On September 26, 2023, the new payment of $296,924.58 was received and the funds were used to
  satisfy the loan in full; we made this transaction effective July 11, 2023. Please be advised further that
  the Lender Placed Insurance (LPI) charge of $2,007.51 assessed to the escrow account on September 6,
  2023, was removed from the account.
  While the LPI charge and the late fees on the account from August 2023 and September 2023 were
  valid, SPS also waived the late fees of $155.88.
  Credit Reporting - 
  In the inquiries, Mr. **** questioned the credit information SPS provided to the credit reporting agencies
  (CRAs). As a one-time courtesy, SPS has requested that the CRAs suppress all of the negative
  reporting. Please be advised that the corrections were completed October 5, 2023.
  It may take up to 60 days for the update to appear on the credit report. Until posted, you may use this
  letter as evidence of the updated credit reporting.
  As of the date of this letter, the account is paid in full

  I was given & took the option from the mortgage company to pause my payments during the pandemic due to financial hardship. While acknowledging I was already behind on my mortgage payments due to prior unemployment, I was able to secure a loan modification about 6 years ago. After the pandemic ended, I tried to get back on terms to begin paying my mortgage again and applied for another modification in which I was denied and will not even consider a modification unless I pay over $85,000 in back payments. The mortgage company is taking advantage of me by using my financial hardship as an excuse to deny the modification & begin foreclosure proceedings.

  Loss Mitigation
  In the inquiries, loss mitigation assistance was requested. It was previously indicated that ********
  ******** was impacted by COVID-19. On June 30, 2020, SPS sent the enclosed Forbearance Plan. As
  outlined in the Forbearance Plan, the account was approved for a three-month temporary Forbearance
  Plan, which began on June 1, 2020.
  Our records show that Mr. ******** completed the Post-COVID-19 Application and based on the
  information provided, the account was approved for an extension of the Forbearance Plan. As outlined in
  the enclosed COVID 19 Decision Notice sent on September 3, 2020, the account was approved for a sixmonth
  temporary Forbearance Plan, which began on September 1, 2020.
  Our records show that Mr. ******** completed the Post-COVID-19 Application again, and based on
  the information provided, he was approved for an extension of the Forbearance Plan. As outlined in the
  enclosed COVID-19 Decision Notice sent on February 8, 2021, the account was approved for a threemonth
  temporary Forbearance Plan, which began on March 1, 2021.
  On February 5, 2022, we spoke to an account holder, and it was indicated Mr. ******** as still
  impacted by COVID-19. As outlined in the enclosed COVID-19 Decision Notice sent on February 8,
  2022, the account was approved for a six-month temporary Forbearance Plan, which began on February
  1, 2022. Our records show that Mr. ******** completed the Post COVID-19 Application again, and based on the
  information provided, a further review was needed to evaluate options to resolve the past due amounts
  on the account.
  Please note the account was in foreclosure at the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. As such, the
  account was ineligible for a Deferral under NY Banking Law 9-X. However, SPS still offers loss
  mitigation.
  On June 4, 2021, SPS sent the enclosed Trial Modification Plan. Our records showed we received all
  three Trial Modification Plan payments.
  On November 11, 2021, SPS sent the enclosed Loan Modification Agreement. As outlined in the
  enclosed Assistance Review Expiration Notice dated December 27, 2021, SPS considered the Loan
  Modification Agreement withdrawn because our customer was offered a modification, but did not accept
  the offer of loss mitigation assistance by the established deadline.
  On October 27, 2022, SPS sent the enclosed Assistance Review Decision Notice, which advised the
  account was approved for a Trial Modification Plan. SPS considered the Trial Modification Plan
  withdrawn because we did not receive the first payment by the required due date.
  On May 9, 2023, an Assistance Review Application was initiated. As outlined in the enclosed Assistance
  Review Decision Notice sent on June 23, 2023, SPS reviewed the complete Assistance Review
  Application for eligibility under its loss mitigation options, which are established through investor rules,
  and are based on individual circumstances. We were unable to offer a home retention solution. All programs listed in the Assistance Review Decision Notice are the programs for which the account was
  denied and the specific reason for non-approval. These denials were based on the criteria where the
  account did not pass the program eligibility requirements; we did not consider other criteria regarding
  ineligibility as part of our decision.
  If there are any further questions, please contact SPS or visit our website for more information.
  SPS is confident that the servicing of the account by SPS has been compliant with all applicable state
  and federal regulations.
  Noteholder
  In the inquiries, you requested clarification regarding the Noteholder’s identity. Freddie Mac is the owner
  of the account, and SPS is the mortgage servicer of the account. As the mortgage servicer, SPS is
  authorized to collect all payments and administer the terms of the enclosed Note and Mortgage.
  Questions or disputes regarding the account and any request for mortgage assistance should be directed

  for a three-month Temporary Hardship Forbearance Plan, beginning on June 1, 2020.
  Our records show that Mr. ******** completed the Post COVID-19 Application and based on the
  information provided, he was approved for an extension of the COVID-19 Temporary Forbearance Plan.
  As outlined in the enclosed COVID-19 Decision Notice dated September 3, 2020, the mortgage account
  was been approved for an additional six month Temporary Hardship Forbearance Plan, beginning on
  September 1, 2020.
  Our records show the Post COVID-19 Application was completed again, and based on the information
  provided, Mr. ******** was approved for an extension of the COVID-19 Temporary Forbearance Plan.
  As outlined in the enclosed COVID-19 Decision Notice dated February 8, 2021, the mortgage account
  was approved for a three-month Temporary Hardship Forbearance Plan, beginning on March 1, 2021.
  On June 4, 2021, SPS sent the enclosed Assistance Review Decision Notice with an approved Trial
  Modification Plan. Our records showed we received all three Trial Modification Plan payments and on
  November 11, 2021, SPS sent the enclosed Loan Modification Agreement. As outlined in the enclosed
  Assistance Review Expiration Notice dated December 27, 2021, SPS considered the Loan Modification
  Agreement withdrawn because Mr. ******** was offered a modification, but did not accept the offer of

  On February 5, 2022, we spoke to Mr. ******** and he indicated he was still impacted by COVID-19.
  As outlined in the enclosed Forbearance Plan dated February 8, 2022, the mortgage account was
  approved for an additional six-month Temporary Hardship Forbearance Plan, beginning on February 1,
  2022.
  Mr. ******** completed an additional Post COVID-19 Application on July 20, 2022; however, based on
  the information provided, in which he indicated that his hardship had not been resolved and he was
  unable to resume payments of $1,525.18, a further review was needed to evaluate options to resolve the
  past due amounts on the account because we had previously offered the maximum forbearance period
  allowed for the account. As such, on July 20, 2022, an Assistance Review Application was initiated. As
  outlined in the enclosed Assistance Review Decision Notice dated October 27, 2022, SPS reviewed the
  complete Assistance Review Application for eligibility under its loss mitigation options.
  Mr. ******** was approved for a three month Trial Modification Plan with monthly payments due on the
  first of each month in the amount of $1,627.86, beginning with the first payment due on December 1,
  2022. The mailing address on file at the time the notice was sent was ** ******** **., Mahopac, NY
  10541-0000; however, Mr. ******** was enrolled in paperless communication as of February 10, 2021.
  As such, this notice was available to him on the SPS website provided below. SPS considered the Trial
  Modification Plan withdrawn because we did not receive the first payment by the required due date.
  On May 9, 2023, an Assistance Review Application was initiated. As outlined in the enclosed Assistance
  Review Decision Notice dated June 23, 2023, SPS reviewed the complete Assistance Review Application
  for eligibility under its loss mitigation options, which are established through investor rules and are based
  on individual circumstances and we were unable to offer a home retention solution. All programs listed in
  the Assistance Review Decision Notice are the programs for which Mr. ******** was denied and the
  specific reason for non-approval. These denials are based on the criteria where the account did not pass
  the program eligibility requirements; we did not consider other criteria regarding ineligibility as part of our
  decision. While SPS is committed to assisting customers, not all circumstances will allow for an available
  home retention option.
  Additionally, Mr. ******** questioned why he was not approved for a Trial Modification Plan after prior
  approvals were issued. SPS is required to service its accounts according to the requirements of the
  Noteholder, which may include limitations on modification characteristics.
  A refinance may be an option to consider. SPS does not originate loans and is not able to provide Mr.
  Cunsumano with new financing. However, he may seek financing with another company.
  If you or Mr. ******** have any further questions, you or Mr. ******** may contact SPS at the phone
  number provided below or visit our website for more information.
  Foreclosure
  In the inquiry, Mr. ******** indicated that he was unaware that the account was in a foreclosure status
  at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, which was March 1, 2020. Please note that the account was
  due for the January 2019 payment as of March 1, 2020. Our records indicate the account was referred to
  an attorney to initiate legal action as of June 1, 2019.
  On February 19, 2019, the enclosed New York Demand Notice was issued advising Mr. ******** that
  he may be at risk of foreclosure. The notice indicated that he needed to take action to resolve this matter
  within 90 days. This notice was sent via first class and certified mail to both Jennifer ******** and
  ******** ********.
  On April 23, 2019, the enclosed Notice of Default – Right to Cure was sent via first class mail. The notice
  indicated that to cure the default, $6,272.02 must be paid by May 26, 2019, to avoid being referred to
  foreclosure.
  As of June 1, 2019, the delinquency had not been resolved, and the loan was reviewed and referred to
  foreclosure. Please note that at the time of the referral there were no active loss mitigation reviews.
  Please be advised that the mailing address on file is ** ******** **, Mahopac, NY 10541. If this
  address needs to be updated, we ask that Mr. ******** contact us as the phone number below to

  In response to the concerns Mr. ******** expressed regarding his interaction with SPS, we regret that

  Select Portfolio Servicing *** bought my loan from *******/*************** on June 1, 2023. I experienced extremely poor customer service and unethical behavior. Due to my losing trust, I closed my escrow account with SPS and was told by SPS that a refund check in the amount of $11,062.95 was mailed to me (regular mail) on July 14, 2023. Today is exactly 4 weeks and I still have not received the check to pay property taxes and insurance on my own. I did my part and informed SPS weekly over the past month that I had not received the check. I was told by an SPS supervisor that she requested reissuance of the check but the process of ensuring the prior check had not been cashed and issuing the new check is 30 days. How in the world does reissuing a check take 30 days? So I had waited 30 days for a check, and supposedly now have to wait another 30 days for the new check to be issued. And SPS insists that they send out refund checks by regular mail. And I was told to my face that, God forbids, if the next check does not come, I have to wait a full 30 days BEFORE I can request issuance of a third check. Theoretically, if I even receive the check at all at the end of that process, that's a full 90 days just because SPS does not want to spend an extra 75 cents to buy a tracking number when mailing out a large check. I believe the regulation says that I have the right to receive my refund within 30 days after closing the escrow account. It appears that once the initial 30 days has passed, SPS has the duty to expedite and re-issue the check to me, after checking that the initial check has not been cashed (which should not take more than 1-2 business days in this electronic age). Kindly help me get my escrow refund money!!! Eleven thousand dollars plus is a lot of money that SPS is insisting on keeping and in the meantime, creates bizarre deceptive processes.

  Starting in September of 2022 my mortgage was moved to select portfolio servicing (sps). Since then, they have added an escrow to my account, in which I have not had prior, nor do I need beings I pay my own insurance through State Farm and pay my own taxes. Once I realized this I called and requested it be removed, since then I have continuously sent in any and every document they request for the removal, some multiple times, this has been going on for close to a year now with no resolution in sight. They continue to give me the run around and keep stacking onto the escrow. I cannot seem to get it removed no matter what I do. My State Farm plan has been in effect for over 20+ years, with no lapse in payment. The mortgage has been owned by multiple other companies over the years, and there has never been an issue with escrow, until SPS. It is clearly a problem on their end and/or a scam to inflate the mortgage and make further profits for their company.

  We have been working with this company for a while now. After our bankruptcy was over, they claim we are months behind. We sent so much paper work to them, the latest packet was delivered to their post office box on November 21st. We got another letter today stating they did not get all the information that is needed. Haven't received a full application. Everything that was needed and filled out and copies were made was sent and delivered by post office on Nov. 21.We are also working with ***** here in ***. **. It takes up to 60 days for part to go through which is still pending. And they know this. Was sent a letter as well. They won't state what is missing. This had been going on since the last pkg of papers we mailed last March, which they stated they did not receive. But this time I sent it certified mail. When you call them, the call goes to a make payment. Or other confusing departments. Can't talk to a human person or get disconnected. We are doing everything right but nothing is getting solved with this company.
