I have a mortgage that was bought by village capitol and I have been trying to refi with a different company. The first payoff amount showed that I hadnt paid my mortgage in 7 months. Village capital went back and found all my payments that were made on time. Another payoff was requested, still they were missing payments that had had made. They said they fixed it. We requested an updated payoff, now they are saying they never received the month before a payment, which I can prove with my bank statement and now they reported to the credit bureau that I have a 30 day late notice, which is incorrect. I can never speak to a manager, they say they will call me back and only one that s past month have they done that. They said if I call everyday asking for a manager then the manager cannot legally call me back because that would be harassment on their end. This issue is not being fixed, I cant speak to accounting because they dont have a phone number. I not get a manager will call you, which they dont. Im about to lose my refi opportunity this saving me hundreds each month. This company is a fraud, I believe this is nefarious in nature to keep the loan. There have been many complaints with this company that resemble mine. This entire time we keep getting calls and texts from loan officers with village capital to refi with them. I have have had nothing but headaches and frustrations while not being able to get a hold of a simple manager and the people on the other line always tell me there is nothing that they can do. I will be hiring a lawyer and pressing charges.Business Response

Dear ****** and ***** *****:
We acknowledge receipt of your correspondence addressed to the Better Business Bureau, dated November 12, 2024. In your complaint, you alleged that Village Capital & Investment LLC did not provide a correct payoff amount and failed to apply a payment.
Upon review, we identified an issue with the payoff statement sent to you on October 16, 2024, which reflected the loan as being due for April 1, 2024. This discrepancy stemmed from an error with the buy-down adjustment.
Per the terms of your buy-down agreement, the buy-down amount was set to reduce your monthly payment by $760.33 from March 1, 2023, to March 1, 2024. Beginning April 1, 2024, the reduction was supposed to decrease to $388.78 through March 1, 2025. However, this adjustment was not implemented as scheduled. As a result, the higher buy-down reduction of $760.33 continued to be applied for an additional six months, resulting in 18 months of the higher reduction instead of the intended 12 months.
This issue was brought to our attention on October 9, 2024, when you contacted our customer service line to report that no monthly statement had been issued. On October 15, 2024, we began correcting the payments for April through September 2024. Initially, funds were applied incorrectly due to the higher buy-down reduction of $760.33. These payments have since been reallocated to reflect the correct buy-down reduction of $388.78. This process was completed on October 21, 2024, and your account has been updated accordingly.
The most recent payoff now reflects the loan as being due for October 1, 2024. Below is a detailed payment history for your reference:
09/27/2024: Septembers payment of $3,703.58 was made.
10/01/2024: Octobers ACH payment of $3,831.30 was initiated.
10/02/2024: Octobers ACH payment was reversed due to insufficient funds.
11/01/2024: Octobers ACH payment of $4,202.85 was initiated.
11/04/2024: Octobers ACH payment was reversed due to insufficient funds.
The Automated Draft Payment (ACH) was canceled on November 11, 2024. To date, no additional payments have been received, leaving the October and November payments outstanding. I've attached your buydown agreement for you reference.

Dear ***** *****:
We are in receipt of your correspondence addressed to the Better Business Bureau, dated 11/06/2024. You stated that Village Capital & Investment LLC has not issued a refund from the refinance. In regards to the complaint escalation, Village Capital & Investment LLC has determined the following:
As part of our standard procedure for all VA and FHA loans, Village Capital & Investments LLC holds any remaining funds in the designated escrow account for 20 business days after receiving the payoff amount. This is located in the ************************************ Rules & Policy Subpart C ******* subsection (b). This period allows us to ensure that all potential insurance and tax bills are fully settled. Once we have verified that all obligations have been cleared, the remaining funds are then released and mailed to the borrower via check.
After reviewing the original loan ending in #****, we noted that the funds from the escrow account were pulled on October 28, 2024, and subsequently issued a check for $3,916.61 on November 4, 2024, which follows the 20 business day allowance. This total includes both the remaining balance in your escrow account and your October payment of $2,348.24.
We appreciate your patience and understanding in this matter. If you have any further concerns or questions do not hesitate to contact us.
We believe that this response fully addresses the concerns outlined in your Better Business Bureau correspondence. If you have any questions concerning this response or require additional assistance, please contact our *************************** at **************, Monday through Friday, from 5:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. PST or email us at ***********************************************************************************************************.Sincerely,

Dear Leuruna *******:
We are in receipt of your correspondence addressed to the Better Business Bureau, dated 11/04/2024. You stated that Village Capital & Investment LLC has charged you taxes though you have a tax exemption. In regards to the complaint escalation, Village Capital & Investment LLC has determined the following:
Thank you for reaching out with your concerns. We have carefully reviewed your account and the circumstances surrounding your tax exemption application, and wed like to clarify the situation.
On October 10, 2024, we received your email with a copy of your tax exemption approval letter. Our tax vendor, ******, promptly verified the exemption with the county. The county confirmed that since the exemption was granted mid-year, it would only apply to the remaining months of this tax year. However, for the 2025 tax year, the exemption will apply for the full year, and your monthly payment will be adjusted accordingly once the new tax bill is processed.
We prioritize accuracy in managing your account and partner with reliable vendors like ****** to ensure all verifications are properly conducted. We apologize for any inconvenience and appreciate your patience as we address this matter. Please feel free to reach out if you have further questions or need additional clarification.

Our mortgage payments recently increased due to an escrow shortage, creating a significant financial burden. We immediately contacted Village Capital to discuss options and were informed over the phone that a 24-month extension on the escrow shortage payoff period was likely possible. We were told to expect an email confirmation, which was never sent. We proactively followed up multiple times to ensure we met any required timelines.Despite our consistent communication, Village Capital later denied our request, incorrectly claiming we waited two months before contacting them. This accusation is unfounded, as we reached out promptly upon noticing the increase and diligently followed up to avoid any ******************* addition, we would like to highlight that we have never been late on a mortgage payment or missed any payments, despite financial challenges and sacrifices in other areas. We believe this payment history reflects our commitment to meeting our obligations and should have been considered in the decision process.Business Response

Dear ****** D. ****:
We are in receipt of your correspondence addressed to the Better Business Bureau, dated 11/04/2024. You stated that Village Capital & Investment LLC has denied your request for an escrow shortage extension, though you kept in communication, you were ultimately denied due to contacting us outside of the 2 month shortage extension request window. In regards to the complaint escalation, Village Capital & Investment LLC has determined the following:
Thank you for reaching out and allowing us the opportunity to address your concerns.
On June 24, 2024, an escrow analysis was mailed to you, providing the updated payment details. For escrow shortage extension requests, our procedure requires a response within 60 days of the new payment's effective date. With an effective date of August 1, 2024, the deadline for response was October 1, 2024.
We have since discussed this matter with the escrow manager, and Im pleased to inform you that your shortage extension request has been approved, effective November 6, 2024, and applied to your account as of November 7, 2024.
Village Capital & Investments LLC is dedicated to ensuring accuracy in all matters, and we are enhancing our processes within the escrow department to further support timely handling of future requests. If you have any additional questions, please feel free to reach out.

Dear ****** D. ****,
We acknowledge receipt of your complaint submitted to the Better Business Bureau on
November 12, 2024, and appreciate the opportunity to address your concerns regarding the
break down of the escrow shortage extension applied to your account
As of November 6th, 2024 your escrow balance was at a negative $3,921.61. We applied for a 24
month extension that allows you to spread the payment over these months (3921.61/12 =
$163.40). Your monthly payment will show an additional escrow shortage amount of $163.40
each month.
During our review of the account, we observed that the increase in the escrow amount is
attributed to lender-placed insurance. If you are able to obtain alternative insurance coverage and
provide the declaration page as proof, it is likely to result in a decrease in your escrow payment.
Please submit the required documentation at your earliest convenience to

Complaint: 22506977
I am rejecting this response because:June 24, 2024, we received an escrow analysis that indicated an escrow shortage amount of $3,921.61.
We have made $1,527.04 in payments toward this shortage between August 2024 and November 2024.
We had requested a 24-month extension to pay the shortage, which was denied until we escalated the issue to the Better Business Bureau (BBB). After our complaint, Village Capital & Investment, LLC approved the extension on November 7, 2024 with the revised monthly payment of $1,728.59. However, the new payment amount does not align with the amounts we have calculated based on the shortage and the payments weve already made.
Analysis of Payments and Discrepancies:
The remaining shortage balance after our payments should be $2,394.57 (calculated as $3,921.61 - $1,527.04).
Based on the remaining shortage balance of $2,394.57, the correct monthly payment spread over 20 months should be $119.73 ($2,394.57 20 months).
However, the approved monthly payment is $1,728.59, which significantly exceeds the calculated amount for the shortage repayment.
Specific Issues:
1. Overpayment: The approved payment amount of $1,728.59 is significantly higher than the calculated amount based on the shortage and the remaining balance. Our calculation suggests the new monthly payment should be $119.73 over the next 20 months, not $1,728.59.
2. Non-Application of Prior Payments: We have made $1,527.04 in payments toward the escrow shortage, but it appears these payments have not been properly applied to the shortage in the records. We request a detailed breakdown of how these payments were applied.
3. Request for Clear Breakdown: We are requesting a clear explanation of the approved payment amount of $1,728.59, as well as a full breakdown of our escrow balance, including the correct application of the $1,527.04 that has already been paid.
Actions and Expectations:
We are requesting that you provide a detailed explanation of the following:
1. A breakdown of how the $1,527.04 we paid from August to November has been applied to the escrow shortage balance.
2. A clear explanation of why the new monthly payment amount is set at $1,728.59 and how this figure was determined.
3. A revised payment plan that accurately reflects the $119.73 monthly payment over 20 months, which should reflect the remaining shortage balance.
4. Documentation showing the correct application of all payments made and the current state of the escrow account.

Dear ****** D. ****,
We acknowledge receipt of your complaint submitted to the Better Business Bureau on November 12, 2024, and appreciate the opportunity to address your concerns regarding the breakdown of the escrow shortage extension applied to your account.
The original shortage payment was $326.80. When multiplied by 4 months (August to November), this would total $1,307.20.
In 2024, the insurance premium increased from $1,854.96 to $2,951.52. Additionally, at the time of the escrow analysis, there was an insufficient balance in the account, which resulted in an escrow shortage.
The breakdown of the original shortage is as follows:
Taxes: $81.17
Insurance: $245.96
Mortgage Insurance: $57.13
Shortage: $326.80
Principal & Interest: $1,180.93
This brings the total to $1,891.99.
We then extended the shortage over 24 months, resulting in the following revised breakdown:
Taxes: $81.17
Insurance: $245.96
Mortgage Insurance: $57.13
Shortage: $163.40
Principal & Interest: $1,180.93
This totals to $1,728.59, which is your current monthly payment.
We can conduct another escrow analysis to reflect the current escrow balance, including payments made and transactions processed thus far.
Attached is your payment history, which shows how payments have been applied to your escrow balance. Additionally, Ive included the email from our escrow department explaining why your original request for a 24-month extension was denied, as well as the reasons for not approving a 20-month extension for the shortage.

Dear **** L ******,
You alleged that Village Capital & Investment LLC (Village Capital) is holding $7,151.00 for your homeowner's insurance in your escrow account, causing your monthly insurance payments to increase to $596.04 and your policy to be canceled dated October 30, 2024. You are requesting a full refund to pay for your homeowner's insurance.
After a thorough and reasonable review of the information provided in your complaint and reviewing your loan, Village Capital & Investment LLC has drawn the following conclusion(s):
? October 25, 2024: Closing date
? December 1, 2024: 1st payment
? October 29, 2023, through October 29, 2024: *********************** policy number: OICH3MS013780752 for $7,152.51. Your insurance would have been paid at closing for $7,152.51 check number 1865 due to the policy ending on 10/29/2024 and your closing completed on 10/25/2024. We called **************** and they confirmed that they issued you a check for $6,286.57.
? November 4, 2024: Loan set-up with Village Capital $364,500.00
? November 7, 2024: Village Capital received an escrow deposit of $596.04. Leaving $596.04 in your escrow account.
? November 22, 2024: Village Capital received your 1st payment for December 2024 payment of $3,144.68, and $596.04 was deposited into your escrow account bringing your escrow balance to $1,192.08.
? December 26, 2024: Village Capital received your January 2025 payment for $3,144.68, and $596.04 was deposited into your escrow account bringing your escrow balance to $1,788.12.
? January 27, 2025: Village Capital received your February 2025 payment for $3,144.68, and $596.04 was deposited into your escrow account bringing your escrow balance to $2,384.16.
? February 04, 2025: Village Capital paid $4,572.00 to ************************ (forced placed insurance held through Village Capital due to cancellation of nonpayment to *********************** policy number: OICH3MS013780752).
? February 04, 2025: Village Capital advances $2,187.84 to pay for your insurance to *********************** with only $2,384.16 in your escrow balance.
The breakdown indicates your insurance would have been paid at closing. The previous servicer confirmed your homeowner's insurance was disbursed out of your escrow account, which caused the payoff to be short and they sent you a reimbursement check for $6,286.57. The title company canceled the check for the renewal and sent the funds to the previous servicer (M&******). M&****** confirmed to the title company that your homeowner's renewal was paid out of your escrow before your payoff. We understand your frustration and confusion with the refinance process. Additionally, we recognize your frustration over the policy cancellation due to nonpayment. To resolve this, we recommend contacting the agent who handled your closing to verify the premium amount paid and the date it was submitted to *********************** or contacting *************** to confirm payment. Once the insurance company confirms payment, we can reinstate your insurance and remove forced place insurance.
As a Village Capital customer, your loan requires an escrow account. We conduct an annual escrow analysis to verify if there are any changes to your taxes and insurance. If there are changes, your monthly payment will be adjusted accordingly for the next 12 months. Due to no coverage, we are required to place forced-placed insurance until we have a new declaration with a new insurance provider. You can review the terms in your Mortgage Deed under the Uniform Covenants on page 5 of 19 under sections 1 & 3.
If you have any questions, please contact our *************************** at **************, Monday through Friday, from 5:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. PST or email us at ***********************************************************************************************************.
