I have an inquiry or complaint about my mortgage lender, originator or servicer - Financial Regulation
The Office of the Commissioner of Financial Regulation ("Commissioner") is responsible for regulating those who are licensed (or who should be licensed) to do business in the residential mortgage industry in Maryland. If you are uncertain as to whether a company is licensed in Maryland, please review our licensing search page. If you have a complaint against a mortgage lender, originator or servicer that is licensed or a company that should be licensed by the Commissioner, please review the directions on how to file a complaint with this office.
Federally chartered depository institutions or insured depository institutions chartered in states other than Maryland are not regulated or supervised by the Commissioner. These include several national mortgage servicers such as Bank of America, Citibank, JP Morgan Chase and Wells Fargo. If you are having difficulty paying your mortgage, please contact the MD Hope Hotline at (1-877-462-7555) or visit MDHOPE. See our advisory "Attention Homeowners Facing Mortgage Difficulties" (Word) for more information and how to avoid being victimized by mortgage scams.
