A couple of calls.

My mortgage handler is being a problem.  They, to my knowledge, have refused to send the paperwork I need to set up automatic payments.  Every time I have, on good faith, made payments to catch up on the promise that the paperwork was on the way, I got scratch... sometimes forgetting to pay because I was waiting on the paperwork, as a ticker, and it never arrived.  They have been gouging the crap out of me with late fees, and over-the-phone debit card fees, and not keeping their word.

I called them.  I asked if they wanted me to settle today.  Oh, he got excited.  I told him if I could get on auto-pay today, I'd do it.  *gulp*  Right.  I can catch up, completely, but refuse.  Not one more nickel will they get until I get the paperwork, and it goes through.  Even if I get it, and return it (they won't send more than one copy, if I am doubting that), I won't settle until their system has a go for auto-pay, or they will simply find a technicality for denying the process and start me on this all over again.  I told him if he/they am/will steal my house, they are going to have to do it without sips of late fees and other forms of robbery.

Some V.A. rep called earlier.  I wanted to talk to the mortgage holder first.  It's 15:00 here, but they close at 16:00 and are closed, or something.  Must be nice.  Whatevs.  I left a message.  He says 24 hour turnaround, but... that won't happen.  Still, Monday will do, probably.  I'll tell him the same thing I told them.  I think they want to make us, or some of us, homeless.  This admin and all their flying monkeys... if the flying monkeys are just that regardless of the admin.  In it for themselves, and above the law.  Or, worse, destroyers of real law.

Yeah...  Seven to ten days?  When have I heard that before, before, before.  Maybe, if the V.A. rep has a hard on for not losing their portion, he will get me the paperwork.  Doubt it, he's probably just a glorified cheerleader (for the companies that are screwing vets).  We'll see.
