For most people, a home is the largest purchase they will ever make and it takes most families in the United States of America thirty years to pay off the loan. During that time the loan servicer, or company that collects payments from you on behalf of the loan holder, is likely to happen several times. Over the years, a lot of people have contacted us with problems following a service transfer. Common problems include:
A jump in payment
False claims that payments are missing or the loan is delinquent
New fees
A change in loan terms or the failure to honor a modification from the prior servicer
There is a way to fix these problems, make the servicer pay you damages for the error, and make the servicer pay all costs associated with you hiring a lawyer and filing a lawsuit to enforce your rights. Over the course of ten years, attorney Adam Deutsch has litigated countless cases using the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act, a federal law, to force loan servicing companies to fix errors and get homeowners the compensation they deserve.
There are tutorials online for people to send their own Qualified Written Request letters (as named by the statute) to try and fix the errors.
