Chase Manhattan Mortgage Corp ripoff by overcharging interest & not applying payments correctly Columbus Ohio

I am sorry you had a problem with Chase but I have my mortgagae through them, and when my wife went on maternity leave I got behind on my mortgage payments and went default on the loan, I thought it was going to be forclosed for sure. But Chase contacted me and they have a program called homeowners assistance program where they dropped my interest rate .25% my wife went back to work we had to pay $2300.00 in back payments and interest, then they raised my payment 31.00 a month until I am current then it goes back down to normal payment again but interest rate stays the same for duration of loan. This is the best mortgagae company I have ever heard of, I wish you luck with your present lender, but I think I will stick with Chase and reccomend every one to.

Michelle,
Sounds like you are a mortgage industry insider.
And, based on your city, you may even be a Chase
employee.

Thanks for the well wishes, but I have a problem
with any company charging overlapping interest
because they can get away with it--legally. Chase
could have refunded the interest overcharged on
my old loan (about $360), but the company chose
to not do the right thing [FHA loan or not].

Secondly, I did make a "full" payment on the loan.
I know I am contractually required to pay the
principal and interest, and that is what I did.

Many mortgage companies collect escrow
funds from their clients, but I really have a
problem with their holding these funds without
paying their clients any interest. You and I
both know that mortgage companies invest escrow
money and make a healthy profit without having
to pay their benefactors (mortgagees) any
interest.

My current mortgage company does not require me
to pay any escrow (which Chase did). And yes, we
have a money market fund that is earning US
interest as we save for our escrow funding needs.

I can make bi-weekly payments without a service
charge (Chase charges fees for this service). And,
because I make bi-weekly payments, my current
mortgage company reduces the interest charged
by 1/4 percent (Chase - Ha Ha).

People may be better off if they can find a
different mortgage company than one that is
always sticking it to them--legally.

Sorry to read here that you feel you were ripped off but what you need to understand is that the interest you were charged was most likely because you had and FHA mortgage. If you did then it is a requirement of FHA (which is a part of the United States Government) that interest is assessed by the month and not by the day. Had your payoff been received by your bank by February 1st then this would not have been a problem. Take this issue up with the closing attorney that you used on your refinance. Then your second complaint was that when you refinanced in June that you sent a payment for principle and interest only because you did not want to pay the escrow because they would return the funds to you when the loan was paid off. What bank is it that will accept partial payments because you feel like it? None that I know of. If the full payment is not recieved it can not be posted. Your idea was good but your logic is incorrect. Try asking the right questions when you call a bank. Don't assume anything.

The problems you have presented are problems that you will have with any mortgage company. Good luck with your new bank, try these with them and see what may happen.
