    Government Action: BBB reports on known government actions involving business’ marketplace conduct:
    Consent Order

    The following describes a government action that has been resolved by either a settlement or a decision by a court or administrative agency. If the matter is being appealed, it will be noted below.

    WASHINGTON—Oct. 26,2021 - The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC)  issued a Consent Order against Cenlar FSB of Ewing, N.J 

    The OCC took this action based on the bank’s failure to establish effective controls and risk management practices related to its mortgage servicing and subservicing activities.

    The order requires the bank to take comprehensive corrective actions to address identified deficiencies and implement internal controls and risk management practices that are appropriate to the bank’s risk profile and the size of its mortgage subservicing operations. The order also limits excessive growth and prioritizes remediation by requiring the bank to receive no supervisory objection from the OCC before adding new subservicing clients and prior to declaring or paying dividends to shareholders while the order is effective.

    Cenlar FSB is the largest mortgage sub-servicer in the country, performing servicing duties on behalf of financial institution clients throughout the United States, and the second largest mortgage servicer in the United States.

      Complaint Type:
      Billing Issues
      Status:
      Resolved
      Since we began this loan in February 2009, the monthly payment was automatically drafted from our checking account about the 25th of each month. We started receiving phone calls about a late payment on April 14, 2024. The website dashboard shows the payments were received. The bank shows the payments have cleared. Six phone calls to four different people (totaling over 2.5 hours) and the latest phone call says she'll send it to "research" and I should hear something by the end of the month (May 31) via a letter. The latest person stated that no one before her had sent it to "research". I want all my payments correctly posted and the late fee waived.

      THE worst mortgage servicer in history. WHY is it legal to even have a loan transferred to them with no say from the borrower? When you acquire a loan with a lender you might have chosen them for a reason. NO ONE in their right mind would choose Cenlar as their servicer. Downright criminal. I hope they get shut down. They are not even worthy of any stars.
