My home mortgage was transferred to XXXX ( Platinum Home Mortgage ) effective XX/XX/2015.I was notified in XXXX XXXX, but I have yet to receive a welcome package or payment coupon book from the new lender. I have struggled to figure out where I 'm supposed to send my house payment and how to pay it online. Previous to the lender transfer, I always made my home loan payments online and on time. Today, I was able to find the new lender website through my own research ( www.phmc.myloancare.com ). I very well could have mailed a check to their address in XXXX, Virginia, and it would have been received prior to XXXX/XXXX/2015 XXXX when a late fee would have otherwise been assessed ). I opted to pay online after I confirmed my account appeared to be transferred to the new lender. While processing the online mortgage payment, I was forced to use the one-time payment option as the lender determined my mortgage was past due ( even though they would only assess a late fee if payment was not received by XXXX/XXXX/2015 ). As such, I was forced to pay a {$5.00} penalty for paying XXXX days after the due date of XXXX. Otherwise, I would have setup auto-pay and been done with the transaction. I resent being penalized for making my house payment on time. It might only be {$5.00}, but multiply that by XXXX of people every month and that 's quite a chunk of passive income. I believe this is an unfair business practice and the lender should be prohibited from assessing such fees, especially in the process of a mortgage transfer over which I had no control.
