Why is RoundPoint collecting my mortgage payment?
RoundPoint Mortgage Servicing is a non-bank mortgage servicer founded in 2007 and headquartered in Fort Mill, South Carolina. In 2023 it was acquired by Two Harbors Investment Corp., a publicly traded real estate investment trust that owns a large portfolio of mortgage servicing rights. That ownership is exactly why your loan probably landed here: Two Harbors buys servicing rights at scale, and RoundPoint is the arm that collects payments, manages escrow, and answers the phone.
First things first: a RoundPoint transfer letter is almost certainly legitimate, and the transfer changes nothing about your loan itself. Your rate, balance, term, and payoff math are untouched. What changes is operational, and that is where you should focus. RoundPoint’s customer reviews are poor even by mortgage servicing standards, with ratings clustering between 1 and 2 stars across Trustpilot, BBB, and complaint boards. The recurring themes are statements that arrive late or not at all after a transfer, escrow analyses with wrong insurance or tax figures, double-charged insurance policies, and long waits to reach a human who can fix any of it.
The practical read: treat your first 60 days with RoundPoint as a verification project. Register on the portal immediately instead of waiting for paper mail, screenshot your balances, confirm your first due date, and check every escrow line item against your real tax and insurance bills. Most borrowers settle into an uneventful routine; the ones who end up in six-month disputes are usually the ones who noticed a problem late. And remember that you always hold the exit card: refinancing with any lender moves your loan away from RoundPoint entirely.
Your rights during the transfer
- 01Advance notice: your old servicer must tell you about the transfer at least 15 days ahead
- 0260-day protection: on-time payments sent to the old servicer cannot be treated as late
- 03No late fees on misdirected payments during that 60-day window
- 04Loan terms are frozen: a transfer cannot change rate, balance, or term
- 05Written error notices trigger a mandatory investigation, generally within 30 business days
- 06CFPB complaints at consumerfinance.gov get logged and require a servicer response
A missing statement does not pause your obligation to pay. If mail is lagging, get the amount due from the portal or by phone and keep proof of payment.
Your first 60 days with RoundPoint
Create your account at roundpointmortgage.com using the loan number from the welcome letter, then verify the fundamentals against your old servicer’s final statement: principal balance, rate, next due date, and escrow balance. Set up autopay fresh and watch that the first draft actually posts. Given the statement-delivery complaints, opt into electronic statements and confirm your email address so you are not dependent on the mail.
Then audit escrow. Match the insurance premium in RoundPoint’s records to your actual declarations page and send your agent the new mortgagee clause so the renewal bills route correctly; that single step prevents both force-placed insurance and the double-payment scenario borrowers complain about. If anything is off, skip the phone-only route: send a written notice of error through the portal or by mail and keep dated copies. Paper trails get fixed; hold music does not.
Good news if
- Your account is current with simple escrow: most transfers post cleanly
- You are comfortable self-serving through an online portal
- You keep records: RoundPoint responds to documented written disputes
Stay alert if
- Your insurance or taxes changed recently: escrow errors cluster there
- You rely on paper statements: delivery gaps are a known issue
- You are mid-hardship or mid-modification during the transfer
- You need fast phone support: hold times run long
What RoundPoint can and cannot do
Unhappy with servicing? The only permanent exit is refinancing to a new loan, which will be assigned its own servicer.
