Our loan was transferred to RoundPoint from NCUA and ever since then we have been consistently harassed and threatened via telephone and mail. As of January 2013 our loan with NCUA was transferred to RoundPoint Mortgage Corp. Since that time both myself and my husband have been harassed with phone calls and letters with threats to report negatively on our good credit if we didn't pay an extra payment because their system shows a payment is missing. I have provided copies of our bank accounts showing every payment was not only made, but, that they are set up and paid automatically via online bill pay with our banking institute. The payments are electronic payments so the funds are immediately in their account. I have faxed and mailed copies of our statements. I've filed formal complaints with RoundPoint and the FTC. I have spoken to countless representatives of RoundPoint inquiring as to which payment specifically they claim is missing. I have been told a different answer by each representative. Initially, it was the Nov 2012 payment that was paid to NCUA, then the Dec 2012 payment. Thereafter, I have been told it was the February 2013 payment and the April 2013 payment. We have received countless phone calls and each representative claims to not have any knowledge of all the information I have provided and will not let me speak to a supervisor. If I persist they will then relent and say they can see in the notes in the system where I have provided copies of my bank statements. I have contacted our banking institute and opened inquiries on each individual payment. I filled out a Third Party Authorization form with RoundPoint allowing them to discuss our account with a representative of our banking institute. I have provided copies of the Oct & Nov checks paid to NCUA as those were the payments needed per the conversation between RoiundPoint & our Bank representative. In addition to speaking to representative on a near daily basis since January 2013, I have asked to speak to a supervisor and am always told "they're in meeting." When I asked how it was possible that they were always in meetings January through April every time I am speaking to a representative the girl told me, "well, they're meetings are back to back." THey are threatening foreclosure, threatening to report us delinquent to the credit agencies and the only solution we've ever been given is "pay an extra payment." The issue is within their company, they can't tell me specifically which payment is missing, as I stated each representative says it's a different one. During one phone call I was told their system shows all the payments were made but the April payment shows "blank." When I asked what that even meant, she said, it looks like someone entered the payment but not the amount paid! How am I supposed to rectify problems within their system? I have done everything I know to do to provide proof of our payments. We are being treated as though we are bad debtors. We are being harassed with threats of ruining our excellent credit if we don't comply to their "solution" of paying an extra payment." Their representatives are not helpful but refuse to let me speak to a supervisor. Most recently when I complained about the consistent phone calls and the fact that I had provided all proof of payments the representative said, "I can see where we call you a lot & I will remove your number from our system so we won't be able to call you." While I appreciate the idea, it does not solve the problem that they're not fixing their system to accurately show our payments have all been received. I have sent faxes to various representatives and departments...Rodney, The Cashier's Dept., Jeffrey Engstrom & The Payoff Req Dept. in the hopes that someone in any of these departments will follow through on this and make sure it is properly resolved. I have spoken to Amanda, Julie, Jonathan, Jason, Rodney & Yosef in addition to others I wasn't able to write down. Even after all this they still continue to threaten us with foreclosure and a negative credit report!

    If you ever have a mortgage transferred to this company, BEWARE!! I feel they are trained to be deliberately evasive.

    What you are describing is consistent with a form of predatory mortgage payment processing, that may result in extorting payment of fraudulent charges or loss of your home due to a fraudulent foreclosure.

    Google "Fairbanks Capital" to find a similar pattern of complaints about a decade ago.

    This is the worst mortgage company you can ever deal with.  Our loan was transferred to Roundpoint also and they are the worst company to get ahold of!  They put their phone number on their website and state they are open until 8:00 pm and I call way before closing hours and cannot get ahold of anyone.  What a shame.  What kind of company is this a collection company Roundpoint is a HORRIBLE COMPANY!

    I just called Roundpoint Monday night 6:19 pm Chicago  time.  Your recording states that you are closed.  THis has been going on for a  few weeks and this is a horrible company.  I would never recommend this company to anyone.  I have left messages to have them call me back at times and they don't call back.  You cant even get through to your phone lines.

    We are equally frustrated that we are unable to speak to anyone at Roundpoint regarding a payoff demand.  They are going to cost us a sale of a property due to the fact that they are totally non responsive to escrow department, realtor & homeowner.  A demand for payoff was submitted nearly three weeks ago and still no response.  We have left numerous phone call messages, email through their website, etc. How does a servicing company stay in business when you can never speak to a live person and they do not respond to mail, fax or email??  Their phone lines either tell you to leave a message or tell you they are closed when they are not. HELP

    I realize this thread is old, sadly the problem remains the same. I cannot get anything done with these people. My loan too was transferred to them and for 4 months I have been calling trying to get an insurance question addressed. I was told when I first called they would call me within 2 weeks.. TWO WEEKS??? OK, I didn't have a choice I suppose. I am still waiting for that call...

    Just a month ago I received a supplemental tax bill... Yes I know,  they normally don't pay them. (not that anyone let me know they weren't going to pay it, as they deleted the bill I submitted along with the reason for submission in the first place.) This is a new purchase and having just closed escrow I remembered at title them telling me they had collected at the rate of 1.5% of the purchase price so IF my mortgage transferred hands form my then mortgage company to send in the bill to the new company and explain to them why I was sending it, as they had figured the amount of the taxes into that and therefore I would have the amount in escrow to pay with. Thank God I didn't assume it was taken care of since I never heard back, and I checked back 2 or so weeks ago and the representative said couldn't see any record that I had submitted anything.. They automatically send those robot e-mails when anything is submitted and I have that, but who am I kidding? I have learned don't even bother with these people. Their responses are all equally robotic, and I would hate for someone to ask any of them a question not covered in the script they are reading as this is how I got stuck in the no call back and disappearing e-mails hell I seem to be stuck in. While I get their policy is they don't pay these tax bills, would it be too much to think they would provide some kind of customer service and just look at what I am saying?? They do have my closing paperwork and whatever else they may need I would be more than happy to provide.

    I wondered how these representatives that I was talking to were able to keep employed as I thought the first few times it was certainly just my bad luck and they couldn't all be this bad, right? WRONG! The last representative I spoke with was just the same. classic response. Straight from the script and no, apparently nobody is ever available during business hours regardless of when I have called as yes, I am still waiting for a call back this time about the 2nd time I have submitted this bill. I checked again online today to see if maybe it had been paid, stranger things have happened but no chance of that happening here at least not as of yet. With the date to get it paid fast approaching I find the only thing escalating is my blood pressure. The representatives know how to say they are escalating my request that somehow never gets to the right person or persons. FRUSTRATING and from all the complaints I have read I am not the only one who feels the same about this company.

    Pathetic the way they treat customers having no choice in who services our loans I suppose is the reason they could care less. I don't have any idea internally what kind of people are at the top since one would think at some point they were going to [***] the wrong person and the complaint would  go somewhere. Either they have yet to [***] "the" person or nobody even at the top gives a rat's behind what happens within as long as the money for our loans keeps coming in, who cares about providing customer service along with who cares about the customers whose payments are reason they keep employed.

      Roundpoint calls and demands payment during the grace period on my loan. They call even when the payment has been paid, and claim they have no record of the payment.  I have been told the payment must be received by the 1st if the month,  for the calls to stop. The grace period in my loan docs state by the 15th of the month.

    My fiance's mortgage was sold to Roundpoint a year and a half ago (in 2015).  It is now 2017 and they have done nothing but call daily with abusive phone calls,  seemingly nonstop monthly billing statements  (at least one each week), and frequent mailings via registered mail requiring signature.  On some of their documentation, it indicates that they are  debt collectors.  I have been around for many yeara and have several mortgages in my life. I have never seen anything lie this, and have never seen a mortgage company  describe themselves as debt collectors.  These people are worse than jackels waiting for something to die,  likewise claiming a mussed missed payment when there hasn't been one.  This company needs to be investigated.

    My issues with them aren't AS BAD as some of the other problems you all have had with them. Reading all the other problems makes me angry that people are being treated so horribly by them. It's almost like the only way we can get through to them is to file a class action suit. When you all call them, record the call, just tell them you're recording and see if you get a different response, save all you email communications with them, and keep a journal of EVERY SINGLE interaction you have with their representatives (date, time, time on hold, who you talked to, ask for an employee ID, what their response was, etc). My issue surrounds the repetitive letters I receive about how they need proof of our homeowner's insurance. Since it's a condo, we have contents insurance through a separate company. But I contacted both companies to have them fax the proof to the RoundPoint's fax# back 7/12/17. Today, 8/23/17, I received another letter from them claiming they still haven't received the proof of homeowner's insurance policies. ANNOYING. So I emailed RoundPoint at Insurance@RoundPointMortgage.com and CC'd the reps from both insurance agencies so they can all see who exactly I'm communicating and with what's being said. At least it shows a paper trail and proof that I am trying to remedy this issue. But it's really irritating. In the year 2017...REALLY? It's 8/23 and they didn't get a fax from 7/12? That's pathetic. We have technology now but RoundPoint's doesn't seem to work. Or else they don't have enough competent employees working there to process the info correctly. It's really sad. They suck! No one should have to deal with that f*ckery. Good luck y'all!
