Business days. For purposes of these disclosures, our business days are Monday through Friday. Holidays are not included.
Confidentiality. We will disclose information to third parties about the account or the transfers:
- Where it is necessary for completing transfers
- To verify the existence and condition of the account for a third party, such as a credit bureau or merchant
- To comply with government agency or court orders
- If you give us your written permission
Periodic statements. You have a right to receive a monthly account statement.
Right to stop payment and procedure for doing so. If you have told us in advance to make regular payments out of the account, you can stop any of these payments. To stop payments, log on to your online account to cancel or modify the Autopay enrollment up to three (3) days prior to your next due date. You can also call us at 1-800-449-8767 or write us at PO Box 24738, West Palm Beach, FL 33416-4738 in time for us to receive your request at least three (3) business days before the draft date of the next scheduled payment.
Payment changes. In case of any payment changes, the draft amount(s) will be adjusted automatically. For biweekly payments, if the payment amount is not evenly divisible by 2, the draft amounts will differ by $0.01.
Liability for failure to stop payment of preauthorized transfer. If you order us to stop one of these payments three (3) business days or more before the transfer is scheduled, and we do not do so, we will be liable for your losses or damages.
Financial institution's liability. If we do not complete a transfer to or from the account on time or in the correct amount according to our agreement with you, we will be liable for your losses or damages. However, there are some exceptions. We will not be liable, for instance:
- If, through no fault of ours, the account does not have enough money to make the transfer.
- If the transfer would go over the credit limit on the overdraft line.
- If circumstances beyond our control (such as fire or flood) prevent the transfer, despite reasonable precautions that we have taken.
- There may be other exceptions stated in our agreement with you.
In Case of Errors or Questions About Your Electronic Transfers. Log on to your online account to send us a secure message, call us at 1-800-449-8767 or write us at PO Box 24738, West Palm Beach, FL 33416-4738 as soon as you can if you think the mortgage account statement is wrong or if you need more information about a transfer listed on the mortgage account statement. We must hear from you no later than 60 days after we sent the FIRST statement on which the problem or error appeared. Be sure to include:
- Your name and account number.
- Details of the error or the transfer you are unsure about and explain as clearly as you can why you believe it is an error or why you need more information.
- The dollar amount of the suspected error.
If you tell us orally, we may require that you send us your complaint or question in writing within ten (10) business days. We will determine whether an error occurred within ten (10) business days after we hear from you and will correct any error promptly. If we need more time, however, we may take up to forty-five (45) days to investigate your complaint or question. If we decide to do this, we will credit your account within ten (10) business days for the amount you think is in error, so that you will have the use of the money during the time it takes us to complete our investigation. If we ask you to put your complaint or question in writing and we do not receive it within ten (10) business days, we may not credit the account.
For errors involving new accounts or foreign-initiated transactions, we may take up to ninety (90) days to investigate your complaint or question. We will provide you the results within three (3) business days after completing our investigation. If we decide that there was no error, we will send you a written explanation. You may ask for copies of the documents that we used in our investigation.
