Memorial Day 2015, our home was flooded due to a declared national disaster. Since then, Flagstar Mortgage has received well over {$170000.00} in insurance funds. I submitted documentation to pay the mitigation company and eventually had a check issued for {$28000.00} to that company. Leaving +/- {$140000.00}. We have processed no other claims. We had a contract to sell the house. I called Flagstar to get a payoff requesting they take the insurance proceeds and apply that to the principal. They refused to do so. As of yesterday, the loan has been paid in full, and when I called today to find out when I will receive the {$140000.00} of funds from the insurance proceeds. I got switched around between the insurance claims area to the corporate office and neither can tell me the process. They also will not wire me the funds but instead insist on mailing me a check for this amount which I find unsafe and unreasonable. The loan was paid off prior to the date on the payoff letter. I asked how much of that interest would be refunded to me. They also could not tell me that because although they received the payoff via wire on XXXX, they do not have to credit the account for 48 hours. They are making an additional few days ' interest off of me although they have the money. 
I was told when I first called the mortgage company days after we flooded that insurance funds would receive interest on the insurance funds. Now they are telling me they are not required to pay interest on these funds that they have held for many months. The people I speak with have no understanding of how their own company works and no interest in helping. They are sitting on this amount of money for no less than 8 months and do n't pay interest although they said they would?! Ridiculous. They want to mail a check for XXXX? Ridiculous! Ca n't tell me when they will even mail the check! 
In addition, I told them they would need to mail the check to our new address and they said they will only mail it to the house that is now sold. I DO N'T LIVE THERE anymore! I sold the house! I feel like I am intentionally being run in circles just so they can keep the money for longer. I am sure they are earning interest on it.
