You sent this letter on December 8th, and I bet nothing has happened. With either them or the Attorney General. Well the AG may have sent you back a reply that says to contact a lawyer but that was probably it. You state that you have "not been late" but then add in "or rarely". Well then you have been late, but I think it may have been more than rarely. Mortgages are usually DUE on the 1st, but give you anywhere from 10-15 days grace period before they access a late fee. However, if you don't pay on the 1st you are still LATE. I think this is your case because you are paying a hefty fee to send it by Western Union ON the 15th. No loan company is going to lower your interest rate just because you ask. Even if you are the world's best customer and pay 6 months ahead. However, there is nothing that says you can't attempt to re-finance or modify your loan with another lender.
