Initial Complaint
10/16/2023
- Complaint Type:
- Service or Repair Issues
- Status:
- Unresolved
On 9/28 we made a mortgage payment to CMG Financial before the 30 day late period. We received notification on 10/14 by mail that the payment did not go through. We did not receive any other notification from the company, either by email or by phone, until we received two letters, one saying we are current and another saying the money did not go through. We do not have evidence to indicate whether an error on our part was made or an error on the company in submitting banking information. The company should have notified us sooner than 2 weeks after the fact by email and by phone but they did not. We are asking that the 30 day late notification be removed from our credit report.Bureau response

The response from CMG is inaccurate. They report having notified us multiple times but we have no phone messages on the dates listed. The company reported calling us on 10/31 but we checked every number on both my wife and my phone and we did not receive a call. No message was left at any point not any email sent about the bank issue. We did not know until we received one of several letters from the company over 2 weeks after the incident, compounding the lateness of the payment. One letter indicated payment was made another that the bank declined and we received these on the same day. Additionally the company needs to provide proof that we made an error in inputting the bank account information and that the error was not made by CMG or the bank. We do not have any proof that the company tried to contact us by phone. We have USPS tracking information to indicate when we received letters that were allegedly making us aware of the situation. The company has shown to have unclear and very slow communication and when we spoke to a lower level manager he was rude and refused to give us contact information in writing. We are going to submit all of this directly to CMG. We made a payment in good faith within the 30 day period given by law, had an error that we do not know who made it, and was not notified until over 2 weeks later about the error.Bureau response

Complaint* ********
I am rejecting this response because: company did call to explain decision, said they would call back but hasn't yet. Company has still not addressed lateness of written correspondence or proven that entry of bank account number was not their error or the bank's error. It was one number off and this error could have been made by CMG or bank input. No correspondence was sent until two weeks after the initial incident. No emails were sent or phone messages. The company misrepresented their contact attempts. Said they called us on 10/31 and other dates but no calls to either my phone or my wife's phone. The only message we have received was from the phone call made on 11/14 explaining their decision. I left a message shortly after and they still have not called back. CMG has displayed poor communication throughout this process, from our initial interaction where we were treated rudely and throughout this process. Their decision to not remove this from our credit has done great damage to our credit after years of on-time payments. They simply need to acknowledge there was miscommunication and we would be satisfied. They just continue to send the same letters that were the ones that were sent two weeks after they should have notified us about the bank error. Otherwise they have not answered any questions about their late communication or how the error was made.

Initial Complaint
02/23/2023
- Complaint Type:
- Billing Issues
- Status:
- Answered
Constant shortages in estimated costs for the my loan. Shortages paid every time over the course of 2.5 year loan and still my mortgage payment has increased with no reevaluation. Contacted CMG Financial and over the hour I was informed of several discrepancies. I changed policy at the end of January 2023, I contacted both insurance companies and they both followed requirements of CMG Financial via fax, mail and email. When I informed my mortgage company the policy information was provided to them before the payment was made, they seemed lost and hadn't connected my loan with the policy information that was given to them via every option they require to notify of change to insurance policies. During my call I was informed my old insurance company was still on file. CMG Financial didn't complete the details with my account and slipped and made me aware they tried to continue a policy with the old insurance company the day after my new insurance policy was active. I have had constant issues regarding the monthly payment and estimations I receive. The amount of time I have spent trying to get answers from this loan company is not what I expected as a homeowner, they seem to be a frightful mess with no direct answer as to any of my questions, no reevaluation to my account. I am fearful I am being taken advantage of and even more that the company is mismanaging my loan. It seems there isn't any accurate information in my account that can be reiterated back to me which is such a red flag and can't express the amount of stress this has caused in dealing with them solo.Business response
