From $48K to $430K. How did we get from one point to the other? Very illegally, step by step.
In the midst of being packed out of my home, I chanced upon a letter from Safeco that said my insurance was going to be cancelled for non-payment of the premium. I couldn’t understand why that would be because my premiums were pulled directly from my bank account and there was plenty of money to pay it. I called to correct this matter and found out the mortgage servicer who accepted payments for a loan my mother had before she died replaced their name on the insurance as a lienholder. Following the probate proceedings, where no claim was made against the estate by this loan servicer or any other entity, and I was awarded the property, free and clear, I removed MGC Mortgage from the homeowner insurance that I had been paying for years without my name being listed on the property.
MGC Mortgage, who I later learned represented Beal Bank in Texas, called Safeco and had their name replaced on the insurance and told Safeco they would be responsible for paying the insurance going forward. This is how my premium came up for cancellation; MGC Mortgage aka Beal Bank was trying to gain control of my property for the sum of $25,5K. They failed to pay the premium because they were trying to steal my home based on a false claim of having a Trust Deed against the property.
I don’t know when, exactly, my premium payments stopped coming out of my bank account, but it must have been just prior to the tree fall. My complaint about this led to the loss of my first adjuster, Trevor Haaswyk and opened the door to the King of Rip-Off Kent Stiles.
I will add to this story over the course of the day as I remember all that has transpired since 22 April 2016 continuing to today.
