In December of we financed a duplex. The mortgage was immediately sold to Homecomings Financial. We got a letter from Homecomings indicating that there were $2700.00 in special assessments they needed to collect for.in todays age, that information can be accessed via the web, in seconds with just the address. After repeated attempts, both by phone and email to get this resolved, as there were no special assessments, the amount was reduced after each contact and finally they agreed that there were no special assessments.
We even had the county assessor email Homecomings with the assurance that there were no special assessments, nor any planned in the immediate future.
Now they are changing their tactics. They want more of a reserve for escrow. We haven't started to fight this one yet.
I have worked in the mortgage industry and sold real estate and this has never happened with any other company I have dealt with. Does anyone smell "SCAM"
