I was notified by my Carrington Mortgage that my flood insurance policy had been canceled or expired on XX/XX/XXXX15. Since I live in a condo and our building was never required to have flood insurance, this was news to me. Still I scanned the letter and emailed it to our association manager for him to check into it. Apparently we are now required to have flood insurance. The manager scheduled surveys and worked with our insurance agent to get this done. I received a XXXX letter that stated that, if they did n't get a policy declarations page faxed to them in 20 days, Carrington would purchase flood insurance for me and bill it through my escrow. I spoke to XXXX agent at CMS with no satisfaction ... she only repeatedly told me that they would be purchasing flood insurance for me XX/XX/XXXX. Shortly after, I received, from our association 's manager, a copy of the flood insurance premium payment made XX/XX/XXXX with a 30-day waiting period for coverage to start. XX/XX/XXXX 2015, I wrote a letter ( attached ) and faxed it to the fax number for the policy declarations explaining all of this. I also asked for an email response and have yet to receive it. Today, after I saw in my online account that they had force placed flood insurance on my mortgage, I called the insurance department of Carrington Mortgage. I was told that they could not accept the copy of the premium payment and that nothing short of the policy declarations page could remove the policy they supposedly purchased. Although I had until today, XX/XX/XXXX to provide that proof, they placed the coverage on my loan XX/XX/XXXX and backdated it for the coverage to start on XXXX XXXX, 2015, the supposed date that my nonexistent last flood policy was canceled or expired. I 'm sure that Carrington Mortgage is going to attempt to charge me for several months of flood insurance even though a ) there was no policy in place until XXXX and b ) I, our association manager, and our insurance operated in good faith from the date of receipt of the first letter to secure flood insurance for our condominiums. I am not individually responsible for flood insurance for the condo building and we did everything in our power to get this done. I fear, based on my reading of many, many complaints about Carrington, that they are using this method as a way to increase fees to the business and defraud its clients.
