What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? South Carolina

So, we bought a house and were ready to send the first payment. We received a letter saying that the mortgage had been sold: This is your new company, this is your new account number, this is your payment. Simple, right? I wish!

I sent the first payment with account number on it. Then we got a call from our former landlord that a letter had come to our old address. We went to get it. Well, this letter was from the new lender and the payment was about $100 more than the first one. I called to find out why, but got no response. So, I sent the difference (actually more) so we wouldn't get any calls for a late payment. Well, we got a call anyway. Come to find out, the first account number and amount we got was TOTALLY WRONG. Therefore, the money I sent was credited to someone else's account! I ended up faxing all of the proof that it was their fault (through letters) and proof that I made the payments. (This has been going on for over a month!)

I have talked to a customer rep...she went into the original account and found where my money had been posted. Yet, the changes have NOT been made. Furthermore, they are saying that we are behind! I have made almost $2000 in mortgage payments yet they are crediting me for $1250.

Here's the kicker: There is a credit to my account that I DIDN'T make! No kidding! So, someone else has been screwed, too, I guarantee.

What is the best recourse for me??? I want my money credited to my account so I can get refinanced!

By the way, heaven help anyone who gets sold to Nationstar!!! They have an F rating with the BBB. How are they still in business???

Thank you!

Nationstar is by far the worst mortgage company I have ever dealt with.

Do everything in writing so you have prove if it does to court.

In writing on real paper sent via registered return receipt mail so you get actual signature of someone that you can later should you have to call them out on the carpet for not addressing your issues in a timely manner
