Mortgage Servicer Charges Unexplained Monthly Property Inspection Fees

Borrowers attempting to sell their home or refinance their mortgage routinely find that servicers refuse or delay providing payoff demand statements for weeks, despite legal obligations to deliver them promptly. The resulting delays can cause real estate transactions to collapse, cost borrowers money in rate lock extensions, and prevent refinancing into better terms. Non-bank servicers are especially prone to this failure, and enforcement mechanisms for borrowers are slow and impractical.
