Mortgage Delinquencies

I got a Fedex today from my mortgage company. They sent me a letter stating that my mortgage was delinquent[no address, just an account number] and that they had tried calling me several times [yeah right!] and this was a final attempt to collect debt.

I called them up wondering which property this could possibly be on and after spending several minutes going through automated prompts I got a recorded message saying that my mortgage has been paid off in full.

Hmm…so yesterday I was delinquent when they overnighted it to me and today it was paid off in full? How moronic are these companies? With them selling a mortgage every 12 months its surprising they can even keep track of the payments!

  1. I’d follow this one. “Automated” anything has a habit of continuing down a path and the answer you get from a help support person is “There’s nothing I can do! It’s all automated!”
