My husband and I applied for a modification with Wells Fargo. We began making trial payments in XXXX XXXX. Each month, I would overnight a check from my personal checking account ( signature required at delivery ), to the lawyer representing the bank. The amount was deducted within a few days after the check was received by the bank 's lawyer. We were in the trial modification for 6 months when we found out that the modification was approved. My lawyer, my husband, and myself filled out the appropriate forms and attached the binding check. The check that was sent was to be applied to the XXXX XXXX, XXXX payment. I sent all papers and the check via XXXX the same day. The XXXX XXXX, XXXX payment was not deposited or credited to mortgage loan. I sent XXXX XXXX, XXXX payment the following month, and it was credited to the mortgage loan. Every month, the payment was credited to the loan, EXCEPT XXXX XXXX 's payment. I verified this by monitoring which personal checks were being debited from my personal checking account. My lawyer contacted the bank 's lawyer multiple times to question the missing check, but they did not give us an answer. Every month I would receive a notice form Wells Fargo saying that I was delinquent ONE payment. Finally, when the trial payments were finished and the modification was final, I pushed to have the bank lawyer find out where that XXXX XXXX payment was. I was concerned that the check was lost and this would affect my credit, and interest on the missing payment. The activity report that I am attaching to this complaint clearly shows a consistent pattern that each month the payment was deposited to the mortgage account on the XXXX, except for XXXX XXXX. But in XXXX XXXX, 6 months after the check was sent to the bank lawyer, a second payment is credited to the mortgage account in the amount of the XXXX/XXXX/XXXX payment. I verified that it was the missing check. When this was brought to their attention, they agreed to take off the late fees for the months that the mortgage account was behind, even though I made EVERY payment that was asked of me through the entire process. But there are still fees that are assessed to my loan/escrow account and my credit was affected for those 6 months of which I paid on time. If needed, I can supply each month 's check ( copy ), USPS receipt for each check that was sent ( that required a signature upon delivery ), proof of date that each check was deposited, and proof of when each check was deducted from my personal checking account. The XXXX/XXXX/XXXX check was not deposited until 6 months after it was sent.
