Qualified Written Request (QWR) Request account information or dispute charges under RESPA § 6
▼
For CrossCountry Mortgage borrowers: 48.8% of complaints against CrossCountry Mortgage involve payment processing. When writing your QWR, request a complete payment application history — CrossCountry Mortgage borrowers frequently report misapplied payments and escrow disputes. Escrow-related issues account for 13.8% of specific sub-complaints.

Legal Basis

Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act (RESPA), 12 U.S.C. § 2605(e)

Implementing Regulation: 12 CFR § 1024.35 and § 1024.36

A Qualified Written Request is a formal written correspondence to your mortgage servicer requesting account information or disputing charges. Under federal law, your servicer must acknowledge receipt within 5 business days. A QWR that points out an error is treated as a notice of error, and one that asks for information is treated as an information request. For most requests the servicer must answer within 30 business days, and it can add 15 business days if it tells you why in writing before the 30 days run out. A wrong payoff balance, a foreclosure error and a request for who owns the loan have shorter deadlines.

When to Use This Letter

  • Your servicer applied a payment incorrectly
  • You were charged fees you don't recognize
  • Your escrow account balance seems wrong
  • You need a complete payment history
  • Your servicer transferred your loan and the new servicer's records don't match
  • You want to understand how payments have been applied

Important Requirements

  • Send to the correct address. Your servicer's QWR address may differ from the payment address. Check your monthly statement or the servicer's website for the designated address for qualified written requests.
  • Send via certified mail, return receipt requested. Keep the green card as proof of delivery.
  • Keep a complete copy of your letter and all attachments.
  • Include your loan number on every page.

    Notice of Error Assert a specific error on your account under 12 CFR § 1024.35
    ▼
    For CrossCountry Mortgage borrowers: 3.2% of specific complaints against CrossCountry Mortgage involve foreclosure-related issues. If CrossCountry Mortgage made the first foreclosure filing after you sent a complete loss mitigation application, or moved for a judgment or sale after you sent one more than 37 days before the sale, you can assert it as an error under 12 CFR § 1024.35(b)(9) or (10).

    Legal Basis

    Regulation X (RESPA), 12 CFR § 1024.35

    Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act, 12 U.S.C. § 2605(e)

    A Notice of Error is a formal written notice to your mortgage servicer asserting that an error has occurred on your account. Under federal law, your servicer must acknowledge receipt within 5 business days, unless it fixes the error and tells you in writing within that time. For most errors it must then correct the error, or explain why it found none, within 30 business days. It can add 15 business days if it tells you why in writing before the 30 days run out. Two kinds of error get shorter deadlines with no extension: a wrong payoff balance (7 business days) and a foreclosure error (before the sale or within 30 business days, whichever comes first).

    For 60 days after it receives your notice, your servicer may not report negative information to a credit bureau about any payment the notice disputes (12 CFR § 1024.35(i)).

    Covered Error Categories (11 Types)

    Federal regulation identifies 11 specific categories of errors. Your Notice of Error should reference the applicable category:

  • Failure to accept a payment that conforms to the servicer's written payment requirements
  • Failure to apply a payment correctly to principal, interest, escrow, or other charges
  • Failure to credit a payment as of the date of receipt
  • Failure to pay taxes, insurance, or other escrow charges from the escrow account in a timely manner, or to refund an escrow overage
  • Charging a fee or other amount the servicer has no reasonable basis to charge
  • Failure to provide an accurate payoff balance when you ask for one
  • Failure to provide accurate information to a borrower regarding loss mitigation options and foreclosure
  • Failure to transfer accurate and complete information to a transferee servicer during a loan transfer
  • Making the first foreclosure notice or filing before the loan is more than 120 days delinquent, when no exception applies (12 CFR § 1024.41(f))
  • Moving for foreclosure judgment or order of sale, or conducting a foreclosure sale, when the dual tracking rule bars it — for example, after you sent a complete loss mitigation application more than 37 days before the sale (12 CFR § 1024.41(g))
  • Any other error relating to the servicing of the borrower's mortgage loan
  • When to Use This Letter

    • Your payment was applied incorrectly or to the wrong account
    • You were charged a late fee despite paying on time
    • Your servicer failed to pay your property taxes or insurance from escrow
    • You received an incorrect payoff statement
    • Your servicer started foreclosure before you were more than 120 days behind
    • Your servicer moved toward a foreclosure judgment or sale while reviewing a complete application you sent in time (dual tracking)
    • Your servicer transferred your loan but lost or garbled the records

    Important Requirements

  • Identify the specific error. The more detail you provide, the faster the resolution.
  • Send to the correct address. Use the address designated for qualified written requests and notices of error (check your monthly statement).
  • Send via certified mail, return receipt requested.
  • Include supporting documents — payment confirmations, bank statements, previous correspondence — as copies (keep originals).

    Dear Sir or Madam:
    
    This is a Notice of Error under 12 CFR § 1024.35 of Regulation X (RESPA).
    
    Description of Error:
    
    I believe the following error has occurred on the above-referenced mortgage account:
    
    [DESCRIBE THE ERROR IN DETAIL — for example:]
    
    [Option A — Misapplied payment:] "On [DATE], I made a mortgage payment of $[AMOUNT] via [METHOD — check #/online payment/wire]. This payment was [not credited to my account / credited late / applied to fees instead of principal and interest]. I have enclosed [a copy of my bank statement / payment confirmation / canceled check] showing the payment was made on time."
    
    [Option B — Improper fee:] "On [DATE], a [late fee / inspection fee / property preservation fee / attorney fee] of $[AMOUNT] was charged to my account. This fee is incorrect because [I made my payment on time / this fee was not authorized / I was not given proper notice of this charge]."
    
    [Option C — Escrow error:] "My servicer failed to [pay my property taxes / pay my homeowner's insurance / provide an accurate escrow analysis]. As a result, [my taxes are delinquent / my insurance lapsed / my escrow payment increased by $[AMOUNT] without proper basis]."
    
    [Option D — Dual tracking:] "I submitted a complete loss mitigation application on [DATE][, more than 37 days before the scheduled sale]. Despite this pending application, my servicer [made the first foreclosure notice or filing on [DATE] / moved for foreclosure judgment or order of sale on [DATE] / is going ahead with a foreclosure sale set for [DATE]]. This violates the dual tracking rules in 12 CFR § 1024.41(f)(2) and (g)."
    
    This error falls under 12 CFR § 1024.35(b)([NUMBER]) — [CATEGORY NAME FROM LIST ABOVE].
    
    Requested Correction:
    
    I request that you [correct the payment application / remove the improper fee / pay the escrow shortage / halt foreclosure proceedings] and provide me with a corrected account history.
    
    Under 12 CFR § 1024.35(d) and (e), you must acknowledge receipt of this Notice within 5 business days and, within the time the rule allows, either correct the error or tell me in writing why you believe no error occurred. During this investigation, you may not charge me for responding to this notice, and for 60 days after you receive this notice you may not report negative information to a credit bureau about any payment this notice disputes.

    Request for Information Request specific account data under 12 CFR § 1024.36
    ▼
    For CrossCountry Mortgage borrowers: A Request for Information forces CrossCountry Mortgage to disclose specific account data in writing. Given that CrossCountry Mortgage ranks #44 by complaint volume with 1,409 complaints, requesting a full account history and loss mitigation options in writing creates a documented record. CrossCountry Mortgage responds to 96.9% of CFPB complaints on time — an RFI carries a separate 30-day federal deadline.

    Legal Basis

    Regulation X (RESPA), 12 CFR § 1024.36

    Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act, 12 U.S.C. § 2605(e)

    A Request for Information is a formal written request to your mortgage servicer for specific account information. Under federal law, your servicer must acknowledge receipt within 5 business days, unless it sends you the information in writing within that time. It must then give you the information, or tell you in writing that it searched and the information isn't available to it, within 30 business days. It can add 15 business days if it tells you why in writing before the 30 days run out. A request for who owns your loan gets 10 business days, with no extension.

    An RFI differs from a Notice of Error. A Notice of Error asserts something is wrong and demands correction. A Request for Information asks the servicer to provide specific account data — you may not yet know whether there's an error. Both carry the same legal weight and response deadlines.

    Types of Information You Can Request

    • Complete payment history (how each payment was applied)
    • Current loan balance and payoff amount
    • Escrow account analysis and balance
    • Loss mitigation application status
    • Identity of the owner or assignee of the loan (who holds your mortgage)
    • Identity of the master servicer (if different from your servicer)
    • Information about fees or charges assessed to your account
    • Information regarding a transfer or sale of the loan
    • Insurance or tax payment history from escrow

    When to Use This Letter

    • You want a full accounting of how your payments have been applied
    • You need to know who actually owns your mortgage loan
    • You're preparing for a loss mitigation application and need current figures
    • Your servicer changed and you need to verify account information transferred correctly
    • You want to understand your escrow account before challenging a payment increase
    • You're preparing to refinance and need accurate account records
    • You suspect errors but need account data before you can identify them

    Important Requirements

  • Be specific about what information you're requesting. Vague requests may delay the response.
  • Send to the correct address. Use the designated address for written requests (check your monthly statement).
  • Send via certified mail, return receipt requested.
  • Keep copies of everything you send.

  • If the response is incomplete or evasive, note which specific items were not addressed and consider filing a CFPB complaint.
  • If Your Servicer Does Not Respond

  • Document the failure. Record the date sent, certified mail tracking number, and delivery confirmation date.
  • File a CFPB complaint at consumerfinance.gov/complaint. Reference your RFI, the date sent, and the specific information the servicer failed to provide.
  • Contact a HUD-approved housing counselor at 800-569-4287 or americandefault.org/directory/housing-counselors/.

    Dual Tracking Complaint Demand a halt to foreclosure while a complete, timely application is under review
    ▼
    For CrossCountry Mortgage borrowers: 3.2% of specific complaints against CrossCountry Mortgage involve modification, forbearance, or loss mitigation issues. If you sent CrossCountry Mortgage a complete loss mitigation application more than 37 days before a sale and it still moves for a foreclosure judgment or holds the sale while the application is pending, that can be a dual tracking violation under 12 CFR § 1024.41(g).

    Legal Basis

    Regulation X (RESPA), 12 CFR § 1024.41(g)

    Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act, 12 U.S.C. § 2605

    CFPB Mortgage Servicing Rules (2014, amended 2016)

    "Dual tracking" is when a mortgage servicer pursues foreclosure while simultaneously reviewing a borrower's loss mitigation application. Federal rules limit this practice. If you submitted a complete loss mitigation application more than 37 days before a scheduled foreclosure sale, your servicer:

  • Cannot move for foreclosure judgment or order of sale (12 CFR § 1024.41(g))
  • Cannot conduct a foreclosure sale while the application is pending
  • Must evaluate you for all available loss mitigation options within 30 days (12 CFR § 1024.41(c))
  • Must provide a written decision, with the specific reasons for any loan modification denial and, when the appeal rule applies, how to appeal (12 CFR § 1024.41(c), (d), (h))
  • When to Use This Letter

    • You submitted a complete loss mitigation application but your servicer filed a foreclosure notice
    • Your servicer is going ahead with a sale while a complete application you sent more than 37 days before it is still pending
    • Your servicer is proceeding with foreclosure despite confirming your application is complete
    • Your servicer denied your application without reviewing all available options

    Important Requirements

  • Your application must be "complete." A complete application contains all documents the servicer requires to evaluate you for loss mitigation. If the servicer sent you an acknowledgment letter listing missing items, address those first.
  • Document when you submitted your application. Save fax confirmations, certified mail receipts, email confirmations, or upload timestamps.
  • This letter should be sent urgently — if a foreclosure sale is imminent, also contact a housing counselor and attorney immediately.
  • Send via certified mail AND fax or email (for speed, if a sale date is approaching).

    Re: Demand to Halt Foreclosure — Dual Tracking Violation
    12 CFR § 1024.41(g)
    Loan Number: [LOAN NUMBER]
    Property Address: [PROPERTY ADDRESS]
    
    Dear Sir or Madam:
    
    I am writing to demand that you immediately halt all foreclosure proceedings on the above-referenced property. Your continued pursuit of foreclosure while my loss mitigation application is pending violates the dual tracking prohibition under 12 CFR § 1024.41(g).
    
    Timeline of Events:
    
    - [DATE]: I submitted a complete loss mitigation application to CrossCountry Mortgage via [METHOD — certified mail / fax / online portal / in person].
    - [DATE]: [IF APPLICABLE] I received acknowledgment of my application from CrossCountry Mortgage.
    - [DATE]: [IF APPLICABLE] I submitted additional documents requested by CrossCountry Mortgage, completing my application.
    - [DATE]: Despite my pending application, CrossCountry Mortgage [filed a foreclosure notice / scheduled a foreclosure sale for [SALE DATE] / moved for foreclosure judgment / took the following foreclosure action: DESCRIBE].
    
    Legal Violations:
    
    1. Under 12 CFR § 1024.41(g), a servicer may not move for foreclosure judgment or order of sale, or conduct a foreclosure sale, if a borrower submits a complete loss mitigation application more than 37 days before any reasonably anticipated sale date. My application was submitted on [DATE], which is more than 37 days before the [scheduled sale date / anticipated sale date].
    
    2. [IF APPLICABLE] Under 12 CFR § 1024.41(c), you were required to evaluate my complete application within 30 days of receipt. As of this letter, [NUMBER] days have passed and I have not received a determination. [OR: I received a denial that did not comply with § 1024.41 because it failed to (state the specific reasons for the loan modification denial / evaluate me for all options available to me / explain how to appeal when I had that right).]
    
    Demands:
    
    1. Immediately halt all foreclosure proceedings, including canceling any scheduled sale dates.
    2. Evaluate my complete loss mitigation application for all available options within 30 days as required by 12 CFR § 1024.41(c).
    3. Provide a written determination that complies with 12 CFR § 1024.41(c) and (d), including specific reasons for any loan modification denial and, where the rule gives me that right, information about how to appeal.
    
    Notice: If you fail to comply with these demands, I intend to file a complaint with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and consult with a consumer rights attorney regarding RESPA violations, including actual damages, statutory damages, and attorney's fees under 12 U.S.C. § 2605(f).
    
    Sincerely,
    
    [YOUR SIGNATURE]
    [YOUR PRINTED NAME]
    
    Enclosures:
    - Copy of loss mitigation application (or acknowledgment letter)

    Immediate Next Steps

    This is an urgent situation. In addition to sending this letter:

  • Call a HUD-approved housing counselor immediately at 800-569-4287. They can intervene with the servicer on your behalf at no cost. Find one near you at americandefault.org/directory/housing-counselors/.
  • File a CFPB complaint today at consumerfinance.gov/complaint. Select "Mortgage" → your servicer → describe the dual tracking violation. CFPB complaints typically get a servicer response within 15 days.
  • Contact a legal aid attorney. Dual tracking violations can be grounds for a temporary restraining order to stop a foreclosure sale. Find free legal aid at americandefault.org/directory/legal-aid/.
  • If a sale is scheduled within 7 days, you may need emergency legal relief. Contact your state's legal aid hotline or the court directly about an emergency motion or temporary restraining order.
  • Damages for Dual Tracking Violations

    Under 12 U.S.C. § 2605(f), a servicer that violates RESPA may be liable for:

  • Actual damages (costs of the foreclosure, temporary housing, emotional distress)
  • Additional damages up to $2,000 in an individual action, if the servicer shows a pattern or practice of noncompliance
  • Pattern or practice: up to $2,000 per borrower in class actions (with a cap)
  • Attorney's fees and costs

    What Is a CFPB Complaint?

    The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) accepts and tracks complaints about mortgage servicers, banks, and other financial companies. When you file a complaint, the CFPB forwards it to your servicer, which generally responds within 15 days. The CFPB publishes complaint data in a public database — the same data powering the servicer complaint records on this site.

    Filing a CFPB complaint is free and does not require an attorney.

    When to File

    • Your servicer is not responding to phone calls or written requests
    • You sent a Qualified Written Request or Notice of Error and received no response within 30 business days
    • Your servicer is pursuing foreclosure while reviewing your loss mitigation application (dual tracking)
    • Your servicer charged fees you believe are improper
    • Your servicer misapplied your payments
    • Your servicer failed to pay taxes or insurance from your escrow account
    • Your loan was transferred and the new servicer's records are wrong
    • Your servicer denied your loan modification without a clear explanation

    Step-by-Step Guide

    ### Step 1: Gather Your Documents

    Before you start, collect:

  • Loan number (on your monthly mortgage statement)
  • Servicer name (the company you send payments to — this may differ from the original lender)
  • Property address
  • Timeline of events — dates of payments, applications submitted, calls made, letters sent
  • Supporting documents — payment confirmations, letters from your servicer, certified mail receipts, application acknowledgments
  • Previous complaint numbers (if you've filed before)
  • ### Step 2: Go to the CFPB Complaint Portal

    Visit consumerfinance.gov/complaint.

    Click "Submit a complaint."

    ### Step 3: Select the Product Type

    Choose "Mortgage" from the product list.

    You'll then select a sub-product:

  • Conventional home mortgage — if you have a standard Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac loan
  • FHA mortgage — if your loan is backed by the Federal Housing Administration
  • VA mortgage — if your loan is backed by the VA
  • Other type of mortgage — if unsure, choose this
  • ### Step 4: Select the Issue

    Common mortgage servicing issues:

    | Issue Category | When to Select | | Trouble during payment process | Payments misapplied, not credited, or credited late | | Struggling to pay mortgage | Loss mitigation, forbearance, or modification problems | | Applying for a mortgage or refinancing | Problems during the application process | | Closing on a mortgage | Issues with settlement, fees at closing |

    After selecting the main issue, you'll see sub-issues. Pick the one that best matches your situation.

    ### Step 5: Describe Your Issue

    This is the most important part. Write a clear, factual narrative that includes:

  • What happened — describe the problem in chronological order
  • When it happened — include specific dates
  • What you've already done — mention any letters sent (QWR, Notice of Error), calls made, or applications submitted
  • What you want — state the specific resolution you're seeking
  • Example narrative:

    > "On January 15, 2026, I submitted a complete loss mitigation application to [Servicer Name] via certified mail (tracking #[NUMBER]). On February 5, 2026, I received acknowledgment of my application. Despite this pending application, on February 20, 2026, I received a Notice of Foreclosure Sale scheduling a sale for March 25, 2026. I sent a demand letter on February 22 citing the dual tracking prohibition under 12 CFR § 1024.41(g). I have not received a response. I am requesting that the servicer halt foreclosure proceedings and evaluate my loss mitigation application as required by federal law."

    Tips for a strong narrative:

    1. Stick to facts — avoid emotional language
    2. Include dates and specific dollar amounts
    3. Reference federal regulations if applicable (RESPA, Regulation X)
    4. State what resolution you want (account correction, fee removal, foreclosure halt, etc.)
    5. Mention if you've sent formal letters (QWR, Notice of Error) and the dates

    ### Step 6: Name the Company

    Search for and select your mortgage servicer. Make sure you select the correct company — some servicers have similar names or parent companies.

    ### Step 7: Add Your Personal Information

    Provide your name, address, email, and phone number. This information is shared with the servicer so they can locate your account and respond.

    ### Step 8: Review and Submit

    Review everything for accuracy. Once submitted, you'll receive a confirmation number. Save this number.

    Issue CategoryWhen to Select
    Trouble during payment processPayments misapplied, not credited, or credited late
    Struggling to pay mortgageLoss mitigation, forbearance, or modification problems
    Applying for a mortgage or refinancingProblems during the application process
    Closing on a mortgageIssues with settlement, fees at closing

    What Happens After You File

    | Timeline | What Happens | | Immediately | You receive a confirmation number and email | | Within 15 days | The servicer generally responds through the CFPB portal | | Up to 60 days | In some cases the servicer says its response is in progress and gives a final response within 60 days | | After response | You can review the response and indicate whether you're satisfied |

    You can check the status of your complaint at any time by logging into the CFPB complaint portal.

    If the Response Is Unsatisfactory

  • Dispute the response through the CFPB portal. Explain why the servicer's response doesn't resolve your issue.
  • File a follow-up complaint with additional information or documentation.
  • Contact a HUD-approved housing counselor for free help with the next steps: 800-569-4287 or americandefault.org/directory/housing-counselors/.
  • Consult a legal aid attorney. Your documented CFPB complaint and the servicer's inadequate response may be evidence in a legal claim. Find free legal aid at americandefault.org/directory/legal-aid/.
  • Contact your state Attorney General's office. Many states have mortgage servicing enforcement authority in addition to the CFPB.
  • Strengthening Your Complaint

    Your CFPB complaint is stronger when paired with formal demand letters:

  • Qualified Written Request (QWR) — for requesting account information or disputing charges under RESPA § 6
  • Notice of Error — for asserting your servicer made a specific error under 12 CFR § 1024.35
  • Request for Information — for requesting specific account data under 12 CFR § 1024.36
  • Send these letters first, then reference them in your CFPB complaint. A servicer that missed a response deadline on a formal QWR or Notice of Error may have violated Regulation X. Say so in your complaint, with the dates. The rule has exceptions, such as a duplicate or overbroad letter or one sent to the wrong address, so whether it did depends on your letter.

    Important Notes

  • Filing a CFPB complaint is not a substitute for legal action if you need emergency relief (such as stopping an imminent foreclosure sale).
  • The CFPB does not act as your attorney — they are a regulatory agency that tracks and investigates patterns of servicer misconduct.
  • Your complaint becomes part of the public CFPB Complaint Database (with personal information removed). This data is used to identify servicers with patterns of violations — including the complaint records tracked on this site.
  • There is no cost to file a complaint and no deadline, though filing promptly strengthens your case.
  • These templates are informational tools, not legal advice. If you're facing foreclosure or have complex legal questions, consult a legal aid attorney or HUD-approved housing counselor.

    Disclaimer: Complaint counts reflect consumer-reported issues submitted to the CFPB and do not indicate wrongdoing. This data is provided for informational purposes only and should not be construed as legal or financial advice. Complaint volume correlates with servicer size — larger servicers with more customers naturally receive more complaints.
