Paymap Equity Accelerator Program
« on: June 12, 2017, 11:45:05 AM »
Anybody have any recent experience with this?

We recently purchased a house and the only way to make bimonthly payments is through this service.  When I googled the program I got a horror story of links about how they weren't applying the biweekly payments.

That was 2 years ago. I'm wondering if they have cleaned up their act and if anyone is currently using the program.  Because when I go into their actual website, you have to register to see anything.

No idea about that company specifically, but a general aversion to products and services with cutesy names such as "equity accelerator".

Can you just set automatic larger payments instead?  It sounds like this company charges a fee to set up these biweekly payments when you could just send extra payments on your own for free.

The CFPB's Civil Penalty Fund is nothing more than a government shakedown.  Big Government has to get its cut.
