I'm very upset with this company. Instead of helping you they screwed you up. I got approve for a loan with the 10% down payment. So I start looking for houses, find the right one for me and my family. I always send the paperwork on time. Did everything they asked like the appraisal, inspection, termite and insurance. I sign pretty much all the papers for escrow and when I was at 2 week to receive the last paperwork and pretty much the keys, they asked for the 20% down payment because their internal score went down.
So I don't have that kind of money and they screwed me up more because I already put my 30 day notice in my current apartment. So now I'm pretty much homeless and of course they don't care. This is the worst company I have ever dealt with. I would never recommend 21st Mortgage for anything. But trust me this is not gonna stay like this. I'm gonna sue them, because they cannot play with people's life like that, changing numbers like that when you are that close to close a deal and especially when you are that close to get your house.

I've seen a lot of bad reviews, but when I recently fell 2 months behind, they worked with me to get caught up and even offered assistance with my current financial planning. Maybe I just got lucky having a great account rep, but I am very happy with the service they provide.

I have nothing but great things to say about this company! Amber ** and Henry ** really helped me out when I needed it the most... My suggestion is to go ahead and answer the call and talk because they really want to help you.. but they need to know what is going on. I really can only say things about this company and the people who work in the finance department.

I bought my mobile home in 2007. I didn't apply for a loan with 21st Mortgage, my mortgage was sold to them, don't recall what year it was sold to them. I would recommend 21st Mortgage to anyone. They are a good company and willing to work with you if you cannot make your payments on time as long as you are making the arrangements and keeping your promise on the day that you were going to send it to them. My counselor rep is Kristina ** at 21st Mortgage and if I have a problem and I cannot make my payments on time, I'm honest with her and I tell her exactly when I'm going to send it she takes my payment arrangement with no problem.

21st is the worst of the worst company and people who work for them. We are buying our home and due to my husband having already two heart attacks he had to have a defibrillator put in which meant time off work - only little disability income we got behind. They called every day and said we had to find the money somewhere, what were we doing with the money. What kind of bills we had, did we have family that would help, could we sell something. I was not working at the kind due to company closes and they asked "are you looking for work?" These people are very rude, mean, uncaring. The other company we had our mortgage with sold ours to 21st and we had nothing to say about it. I think there needs to be a law against companies doing that. I really hope 21st and all the people with the company have karma come to them and they lose everything they have.

This company is very rude. They make you feel like an idiot. I have only been over 30 days twice in the length of our loan. My husband is self-employed so sometimes we may not have our payment there on the 1st or even the 15th. But each time I have to go into complete detail and God forbid something comes up with my bank and other utility payments that I have I have no credit cards. They always are very kind and set it up to be received within 30 days. I have spoken with several different ones and always the same. Yesterday I was told to borrow the money or sell something in order to make my payment on Monday when I told them I would be making it on Wednesday. Very very rude. Will never do business with them again. As soon as I can refinance I will.

My husband and I have had 21st for going on 3 yrs and we just got our new escrow statement. They can't give me a reason why things that they have down aren't adding up. There is a huge amount missing and they can't or won't give me an answer as to why. We were never told about the escrow account being for the life of the loan or anything. Plus what we have been paying in on our mortgage, it hasn't gone down much at all. If we would have known about this company before we decided to buy our home we would have never signed the papers.

I wholeheartedly discourage people from using 21st. We purchased our home in 2005. We had to file bankruptcy in 2008. They came onto private family owned property without permission where the guy said he had "every right" to be there. Untrue, especially in Texas. They completely refused to work with us and when I asked for a loan modification to help out our situation they stated they did not do those. They even refused the bi-weekly payments and made us start paying monthly instead. The calls are constant even when they know we pay at the end of the month (payment is due on the 15th).
When we were going thru bankruptcy the calls were rude and inappropriate asking about personal things as well as wanting an account of all our bills, etc., telling us we needed to get the money somewhere. I wait for the day I can pay my loan in full and be done. Although after reading these reviews I am worried they will try to stick me with thousands in fees.

After reading several negative reviews about 21st Mortgage and having limited access to manufactured home lenders, I was very worried about going with 21st Mortgage. But to my "DELIGHT" I found 21st Mortgage and my representative Jonathan very easy to work with. Jonathan was very professional and knowledgeable about his product. Over the years I have owned several homes, and one custom. This was my first manufactured home, and I found NO difference between manufactured home and standard home lender. Jonathan worked very close with my realtor and both completed the loan within matter of weeks and we had zero problems.. Would I recommend 21st Mortgage? 1000% Yes. Would I suggest Jonathan? 1000% Yes.

I have been dealing with 21st for the past 3 years. They make you feel like you are no more important than a grain of sand and belittle you. They are rude and badger you with questions about where your money goes and harass you weekly to daily if you are a week or two late. You have to repeat everything twice over them again to their supervisor after every phone call and the supervisor is always more rude. I literally had the manager tell me to let my toddler go without Pull-Ups and milk for two days all because they wouldn’t wait two more days for a payment and she told me to tell him "he has to go without because I have to pay my mortgage and mommy was behind". Do not go through 21st. I wish I had never agreed to a contract with them. They are horrible, cruel, nosey and harass you. If you want a company that makes you feel like you’re nothing for being broke then go for it. They are great at that.

We have had a lot of problems since we purchased this home. They are usually very nice about working with us, but today my wife, Judy, called and talked to Thomas and he then told her she needed to speak to his supervisor, Carol or Carla, and she was asking personal questions about our health and Judy told her that was personal and she had no right to ask. She preceded to say she had every right to know what our health problems are. I started telling her and she then said "I don't have to know all that personal stuff."
Then she had the nerve to say we should never have purchased the home if we couldn't pay for it and she said "next month your payment better be made on the 23 of Oct or else." This is Judy speaking, I am 70 years old and don't need some little Punk ** Kid talking to me the way she did. She was obnoxious, rude and I don't like all the calls after they were told I would call them. She also told me I need to answer my phone when they call and not ignore it.

These people could care less about any kind of deadline or scheduled closing date. They screwed up my deal so bad I fell out of escrow, had to move twice and lost thousands of dollars in moving fees and rent. If you have no choice but to use this company because you want to buy a mobile home don't buy it. It is not worth the headache. This company should not be allowed to practice any kind of business with their attitude let alone life changing situations like mortgages. I wanted to give zero stars but it only allows one as the lowest.

This is the rudest company I've ever met. I am renting to own a trailer. When I moved in I was told the rent was current then when I go to make the next payment I was told it's a month behind so now they hound me every day and threaten me. I made arrangements to make a payment twice a month and I was 2 days late because of the way I got paid. Talked to the rudest guy today. He wouldn't even take my payment - just being extremely rude to me. I had to speak with a supervisor just to make a payment. This is not good customer service at all and I work in customer service so I should know. I will never do business with these people again.

After agreeing on an amount for a mobile home with Ben **, he said I would receive a contract. After 5 days of not receiving the contract I called to find out what happened to the contract. They told me they got a better offer, but did not contact me to let me know. I spoke with James ** the sales manager about what happened. He told me that is what his staff is suppose to do, not call back and waste their time to notify if they get a higher offer even after agreeing on a price and a contract is suppose to be on the way.
He did not apologize or have any concern for me the customer during this phone call. His concern was that the sales team did not waste their time making a call to notify the customer. He definitely needs a lesson on customer support and customer relations. I have never been treated like this from any business. Hope you find a good company to do business with that takes care of their customers. No customer care. The dollar is all they are worried about not the customer.

The Manager is the worst person to speak to and he makes you feel like you are the worst person in the world and the most ungrateful one at that. He made me promise that I would make the payment for my house vs. get my husband medication for him. My husband is terminal with a brain disease and he didn't want me to get his medicine!!!
Well they didn't get their payment, and I we are dealing with two deaths within the immediate family and they called today and told them that I will call them when I am ready to discuss money and the customer service rep got all over me, about selling the house or getting the house payment up to date.

This company is horrible. We bought our home last August, I was already in the process of filing disability but did some off and on work for my dad so I had a little income. After we bought the house I got very ill and was told that I couldn't go back to work. My husband has been handling all of our bills with just his income. We missed March's payment and called the beginning of April to make the payment. They refused the payments and said that we had to make March and April's payment at the same time.
We are now three months behind because they refuse to take just one payment. I called today and tried to talk to the department that is suppose to help people who are struggling. After asking all sorts of personal questions they finally told me to go ahead and start packing my things and find somewhere else to live so they could just come get our home. They even sent two men to my house when we were only one month behind. I am struggling with all of my health issues which has also caused depression and these people have caused me to have a nervous breakdown and end up in the hospital but they don't care. They are heartless, ruthless sharks. No one should have to go through this type of harassment with none stop calls, texts and emails. They need to be shut down.

They call constantly asking where our payments are even before the due date and then 3 weeks go by and they "still haven't received our payments". Every single month. ** from there was my rep and each month she would not only call me all day long, she would text me! I told her to stop on many occasions. What company texts their clients!?! I asked to speak with her boss. He told me he wanted me to call them weekly for updates on the status of my payments as to when I would be sending in my payments. I told him I will not to any such thing then he called me difficult and said I wasn't being helpful. She continued to text and call me all day long for days at a time until I finally blocked her from my phone.
I have never experienced such unprofessionalism in any company. Rude, disrespectful, bossy people who represent this company. I can't believe they're even in business. I will never deal with them again nor refer anyone to them. We made the mistake of getting 2 mortgages with them. Big mistake! This also goes into our credit report stating we're late monthly! Meanwhile, all payments are paid prior to the due dates! I don't know what else to do about it! Can't wait to be done with them! Don't ever ever use them!!!

We have lived in our house for 4 years now and it has pretty much been non stop issues with this company. We have had them call us and threaten to take our home away even though we were only a couple weeks late with our payment. They're aggressive and if you don't answer their phone call they will redial your number 2 or 3 more times to see if you'll answer. It's harassment. Also if we call to make a payment and it's late they will REFUSE to take our payment at that time and we have to call back later and hope that a nicer person answers the phone.

I have a mortgage with these so called professional people and every month they call me asking where my payment is, now the payment is not late but they call anyway. I told them that I needed to change my due date and they told me that it was not possible that they made all payments due on the first which is a lie. I have tried talking to these people but you cannot communicate with them. They are the rudest company I have ever had to deal with.
They told me tonight after I had talked to four different people to tell them that my payment came out of my bank on the first, and she told me I would need to make another payment as this was not showing as paid. I told her I was not paying the another payment as I had paid and it was not my problem, they could not figure out where it went to. She then told me I was being rude and she was not going to take it. I told I was not being rude, but I could be and then explained to her that the conversation was over. She told me that I would make another payment or they would take the home.
I explained to them that they could have their lawyer call my lawyer as I was not late and I would not be intimidated by them to bring it on. This is the worst company in the world to try to deal with, I would not send my worst enemies to them. I will not be intimidated by these people but neither will I allow them to continue to call and harass me on a monthly basis. Do not use these people. Tell everyone that they are rude and not worth your time.

My husband contacted me today very upset and said that ** with 21st mortgage has contacted his employer’s home and this is a family ran business and the lady that does payroll, contacted my husband, chewing him out, wanting to know why is his personal debts calling the company to leave a message for him.

I worked in collections before and you get more sugar with honey! My payment is due on the 1ST of every month, but they would call and harass me for payment on the 2nd!! So, I told them that I would make sure that I paid them on the last day of every month, for 1 year I have sent my payment to them about 25 days late because they gonna call regardless!! I know that laws are different in every state but I always thought that a company could only call your job as a reference, not leaving collection calls for you. ** tried to tell me that it is not illegal for them to call your job!!! So, do I go by South Carolina laws or do I need to go by laws in Knoxville TN?? I am very confused about this? I know that I am not the only one with this problem regarding 21st. If mine or my husband's credit wasn't so messed up, I would love to find a bank to buy my loan out!! We only owe 31,000 left on loan and the lower it gets, the more they threaten to snatch it!!!

This company was only ever nice in an email conversation. Email conversation was only after it went into legal matters. The first guy who represented them for calling me would call anywhere from 2-10x a day if I was even 2 days late. "I'm sorry things happen, I'm willing to pay the late fee." He did not accept anything I ever said. He 1x told me not to pay my lot rent (I was purchasing a trailer using 21st Mortgage Corporation) and to pay them instead. He also told me to borrow off everyone I know. He then proceeded to tell me to get a title loan to my vehicle to pay them. Let's just put me more in debt I thought. I found out this was illegal.
It did not stop there. He refused to let me speak to his supervisor. After several attempts, maybe he wasn't there. I got his supervisor. Explained to him that I'm requesting a different person on my account. I did get another person who ended up basically always calling me a liar all the time. They always ask what my plan was if I was late. I would tell them the plan. They didn't like the plan. So they would tell me that they would not let me make a payment after the 15th of the month. I told them multiple times that they would then not get a payment if I wasn't allowed to make the payment on the date that I told them.
It was hard for me to get to a Walmart to make a payment, if you are even 1 day late you cannot make a payment via phone system or website. You were required to make is via Walmart MoneyGram or Western Union or you had to speak to your rep with them to make the payment via the phone. So you could never get around the extremely rude rep without paying fees to make the payment with MoneyGram or Western Union.
I will never use them again. I will never recommend them. They also gave out information to somebody not even slightly related to me. They even told the trailer park office details that they were not allowed to share. How they treated me, I should have sued them. They should be thankful that I haven't. Currently I have turned my home back into them. Waiting on it to sell, ready to be done with this company forever.

This is the worst company I have ever dealt with. They think that they should be the only bill I pay. I shouldn't pay utilities because if I don't have a home, I don't need utilities, but I say if I don't have utilities, I don't need the home, which has some kind of defect. They tell me things like, "can you sell anything in your home to make a payment." I work as a seasonal worker at a shrimp factory. They knew my situation when they took my 20 thousand dollar down payment. They try to intimidate you but I have no one that can help me. I live on a poverty level like 12-15 thousand a year. I'm doing the best I can while trying to pay other bills and raise my grandson whose mother died. If it wouldn't be for the food stamps, I don't know how we would eat.
I get so upset when these people call me. I feel like I'm going to have a stroke or heart attack. I do suffer from high hypertension. Had I known this would be like this, I would have never got involved with this company. If they take this, I will be homeless. They're very nice when you make that down payment. I understand they have a debt to collect, but do they have to be soooo harsh and rude. I'm doing the best I can. I have back and knee injuries and also need both knees replaced, so that's why I'm at this job because I'm not required to stand for long periods, and no I don't have skills or training for sedentary work. I just don't know what to do anymore, these people are heartless.

Do not get a mortgage through this company! They are the rudest, unprofessional, and will harass you for being a few weeks late! We have had our mortgage for two years through Twenty First Mortgage and have never been late until January 2015 payment. I called the automatic number to pay 80% of our mortgage two weeks into January and it wouldn't allow me to pay the 80%, so customer service transferred me to a gentleman that asked me why I couldn't make the full payment. I told him my husband was laid off and we would call the next week to make the rest of the payment. Then the harassment began by him asking myself, why didn't my husband have a job, what are we going to do for the February payment, why wasn't I working (I'm not even on the loan), how much is our tax refund going to be, and so on. I hung up and my husband ended up calling and making the payment.
I made the February 2015 payment and they are now harassing us saying they never received it, when it already cleared our bank. I called and told them that and they asked me what my confirmation # was and I didn't write it down because I was driving. They told me I needed to make another payment because it didn't go through.

After I relinquished the mobile home back to 21st Mortgage 4 years ago, I am now in a position to start over and purchase a new home. I live in the state of California so 21st Mortgage cannot pursue me for the discrepancy of the original loan. I needed them to complete a Verification of Mortgage for my new lender. Instead of checking the box for "Mortgage" the Recovery Clerk had wrote in "Installment" as the type of loan I had. BEWARE!!! If this happens to you do not accept it! A lender can come back after you at any point in time on an installment loan.
A mobile home loan is not an installment loan, it is secured by the actual mobile home, therefore it is a mortgage loan. And if you read your contract you will see that it is a mortgage loan, not an installment loan. Luckily I have a fabulous lender that caught this attempt to deceive me. I highly recommend that anyone even thinking of purchasing a mobile home to find a different lender, this is not a nice company to work with.

Called again on tuesday and he said "Yes we have received your check" but guess what as I was speaking to you on friday the property taxes were paid for 2015. Now you have an additional 250 to pay.

I have had my mobile home for getting ready to be a year here in a few days. I've never been late on my payments ever. Well for my January payment I tried paying it in halfs. I had NO idea it couldn't be done. I paid one half on the 12th (usually due the 15th and considered late after the 1st of the following month). I went to pay my second payment on the 23rd it wouldn't allow me too. It was my FULL amount.
As a single mother of two I don't have it to do half plus the FULL amount. I get a phone call today February 4th I call back and speak to a Renee. She wanted to know what happened and why I was late so I explained. She kept putting me on hold and talking to her supervisor. Then her supervisor Grant gets on the phone and tells me that my reasoning was not acceptable. Now I'm suppose to pay my half, and my February & March payment Friday. UM NO!
I'll pay February and my half I owe. You're not getting March until MARCH! Then he just simply HUNG UP! I do not like how my phone conversation was. I was outraged when I got off the phone. I don't feel that if you're in "CUSTOMER SERVICE" you should be allowed to talk to people like they are crap! I'm very unhappy about it.

I have a mobile home financed through this company only because my loan was sold to them at some point, NOT because I would have chosen them. I have dealt with them 10-12 years. For quite some time I've had to pay on the 4th Wednesday of each month. At one point, Melissa called and I was explaining that the reason I could not pay then was due to the fact that my mother was just killed in an auto accident. Melissa stopped me and said "Carolyn, Carolyn! I really don't care; I just want your payment." At another time, she called my sister and told her that "we will come put wheels on her home and move it out!" (I was one payment late).

I was laid off last month due to contacting issues with the state. I explained that in 2 weeks I will be back to work and have income taxes to get caught and and not have this issue again. Sam the man that called continued to bombard me with questions about why I can pay now even though I have explained. I asked to speak with a supervisor.
I was very upset and crying at this point. When Rachel got on the phone I asked for a moment to calm down. I then asked the Sam would not be listening in because I was uncomfortable with him being there even though I knew she would discuss it with him later. She then laughter at me and when I confronted her on it she said, ''sorry you think that''. I was so infuriated at this point.
I agree to pay the $50 late fee and asked to be transferred to her supervisor. She said there was no point but I was insistent. She was very rude. I then spoke with another women who was again rude and no help.

Called 21st up while I was at property, got a run down and was told call back first thing morning. Next morning I'm on phone with guys, name I won't mention. He had stated 7500 for this property it was foreclosed on. Well basically what happened, I agreed on a set price of 7500 cash. Ok now, that was night I looked at property.
Next morning I'm back on phone, he's telling me he sent buyers agreement to another guy who has not yet returned it to him. So if I wanted it I would have to basically bid higher than what other gentleman he claimed offered. So as I really wanted this property I did just that and he sent me by email buyer agreement. Before I could get it back to him he tried to yet do it to me again, this time wanting 9500. And to top it off, they want you to send them a deposit on something that you ain't really guaranteed to even have proper papers too. It would have been non refundable. Something about this outfit just doesn't sit well with me.

I called them to ask if it was possible to do an electronic payment, because when I send the payment through the bank it usually takes about 5 days and they charge a $115.71 late fee. So I spoke with my bank and they told me to call 21st Mortgage Corp. to ask if they will accept an electronic payment. When I called them, first they put me on hold for 10 minutes, and then Karla answered with a very aggressive attitude. I asked for a supervisor and she told me that she was the supervisor (a lie), and so I asked for her supervisor again. I was then transferred to her supervisor, Dustin. Unfortunately, Dustin was even more aggressive than Karla. He shouted at me in defense of Karla's behavior and did not let me explain my purpose for calling, nor was I able to express my experience with Karla.
When I finally spoke about my issue (albeit, in between his shouting) he told me that "I should make my payments earlier," in a demeaning fashion. He continued to belittle me and never once tried to help me with my inquiry. Feeling greatly insulted, I hung up. My inquiry was never answered nor my issue resolved. The customer service or lack thereof was very disappointing and down right unacceptable. A client does not call a company to be insulted, it was completely unprofessional. I was previously involved with GMAC Mortgage Company (never had any problems with them), but unfortunately my loan was sold to 21st Mortgage Company which is a complete displeasure to deal with. I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS MORTGAGE COMPANY TO ANYBODY.

We had payments due on a home that was not ours. 21st made us pay in MARCH before we moved in. We were paying rent, and utilities and had to pay for the new house that wasn't even ours, or ready for us to move in. The Dealership received there money... but we didn't get our home until the next year due to many mistakes. We were set up for automatic draft and because we stopped payment we were punished and told we had to go to Walmart and send money grams.
I have a perfectly good standing account that we could send a check each month for payment. They refused to let us do that. When people buy new homes they usually have a month to live in the home before making a payment. We did not get that option. Everybody connected with this issue knows we have a problem. All they tell us is we can't do anything about it. So, I have chosen to not make a payment on the 15th of the month. Because in reality we are 1 month ahead in our payments. We do pay each month.

We are locating from Waterloo IA to Des Moines IA and this left me scrambling to keep my family from being homeless.
Never in the 4 weeks of sending them proof of income and every document they asked for did they even suggest we may be denied. And the math doesn't add up, same debt as 4 years ago when we bought this house, 400 dollars a month cheaper payments, and 10,000 less than what we owed on this house and we are denied? When we asked them to explain themselves and demanded a supervisor 4 calls later I have been hung up on every single call and refused a supervisor 4 times. And they wanted to charge us an 11% interest rate when my credit score is an A- and we were never late on a payment in the 4 years of owing this home.

Right now my husband, Frank, and myself, Lindsey, are currently going Thru Chapter 13 bankruptcy, due to IRS issues. Frank owned his own business as a truck driver, which allows me to stay home with our 18-month-old Christopher. I bought a 1998 Crestridge 28x60 and had it financed with 21st Mortgage. We got the trailer shortly after I found out I was pregnant. But I was pushed into the sale quickly not knowing or negotiating anything at the time, but was told any issues within 90 days would be fixed. They fixed the minor repairs, but my main concern was the roof.
I was losing shingles left and right, and they only came out and replaced the ones that fell off with different color shingles, which looked terrible. That got them by the 90-day period, so after a leak in my living room I had No choice but to file an insurance claim. Now I noticed that they just painted over the showers cause now the paint is peeling off and floor giving way. For the price we paid I am very upset with the home, but 21st Mortgage doesn't care. Now in a price dispute putting the trailer in the bankruptcy payments, 21st Mortgage had it priced by the guy I bought the trailer from, not even a licensed appraiser, for 2000 more than I have it financed for, and I've been paying on it for 2 years. Which wouldn't be a big deal in a 17-year note, but now your pushing it down to five years which doubles our bankruptcy payments.
It might be possible but if my husband's truck breaks down that would be it, with No money to fix the truck to stay running, we would then lose everything. 21st Mortgage is not willing to negotiate the price at all, so our only option is to buy a cheap trailer cash and move it here before they pick this one up. My mother and grandmother gave me some of my inheritance to put down on this trailer. I am ashamed to even talk to them and let them know What's going on.

However they will treat all of their customers the same regardless of account standing. I've never heard of a mortgage company not providing any statements. They seem to prey on the desperate.

My husband lost his job. He's did bus subbing when school was in and he couldn't find a summer job. 21st would said they couldn't refinance or do a loan modification because it's a double wide. We have poor credit so trying to get a loan is out. They made us feel like we were an inch tall. They don't care that the economy is bad and that you can't find a job and that you can't constantly keep borrowing money from friends and family and churches. They call several times a day to any number they think they can't reach you at, sends texts and emails too. Finally you get to the point you don't want to see the phone or the email. If you call them it's not quick. You have to talk to the person over your account then they pass you onto the supervisor. Good 20 min or so on the phone.

Hi, I answered my door, there were two "21st Mortgage" employees standing in front of me. Because it was so hot out and I'm so kind, I then invited the two women in because it was extremely hot and humid. They entered and then started to be extremely rude and patronizing. They told me that I couldn't be bothered to call and work with the company (we had been texting them, they sent us the texts and we kept in contact that way) and then went on rudely telling me they were going to kick my family and me out of our home because we were behind ONE MONTH. I said, we just made a payment three weeks ago and explained that I lost my job and its Michigan and its hard to get another. I've applied to many many jobs with no results.
Cara **..( the rude one who did all the talking) informed me that I should sell my TV and my furniture. She also told me that a sheriff would be out in the next week to evict us and how embarrassing that will be to my children. Hmm, no wonder I text the company instead of calling them? I told her that I don't think what she's saying is legally correct and after 15 minutes of her rudeness (she offered to budget our family money) I nicely escorted her and her cohort out. I'm going to call a lawyer and I'm going to make try to warn others, please don't use 21st Mortgage.

My note due on 1st every month. I had just had surgery. I gave them a call letting them know that I was on leave w/o pay and if there was anything they could do to help me. I told them it would be before the month was out I would try to get help. 21st continued to call even now.

Well my mistake was ever calling this company. Turns out, they have caller id! So to start with, I was trying to go through the loan assumption department. I filed my app and was quickly approved within 2 days. I was to send in all documents within 60 days as well as the down of 1145 dollars and that included past due and current payments from where the previous title owners had defaulted. So I agreed. The home was only 30 days past due and the previous owner had already promised June payment.
It was not 6 days later, they called me back wanting a payment of $867 plus the $1145 down THAT AFTERNOON! I asked why they wanted that, I began getting the runaround of various bull crap reasons that made about as much sense as giving an alien a ride to the thrift store! So I tell them I would discuss this with my husband and call them back the next afternoon. Apparently, that was not adequate enough as they then began to call my husband who was not even on the assumption application and was not going to be the title holder.
They called the lot lady wanting to know if the lot rent had been paid, if the utilities were paid and if she knew what time we would be arriving home. They asked her for an alternative number for myself, my husband, as well as for any family member either of us had. For our work numbers, the name of the companies we worked for, they asked her how much income we had coming in, if we had cable or satellite and through what company. Asked her if she knew of any other bank or credit card numbers. Somehow, these hounds got a hold of my father's work number and harassed him and his name was never on any paperwork!
They tell you you have 60 days to complete everything, I was given not even 10 days to try to get this mobile home in my name (that's right, it was not even in my name yet, still in the previous owner's name). They broke the agreement between us, I even tried to make a payment a week until it was current, to no avail, I dealt with numerous, too many to count, different people, never could get more than one manager on the line, they were nothing but nasty rude "computers" like they were programmed to act like that. Talking over me, yelling, telling me I had to call everyone I could to beg them for money to pay the previous owners past due account.
Finally I told them, just come get the home, it was not even in my name but they wouldn't stop harassing my entire family at their homes and work. They told me to have my things out of the home by the 15th, that won't be a problem, I told them I'll be out tomorrow, and if they do not come get the home the following day, the lot owner will then be charging them $30 a day, for having to have a vacant home on a lot that she could be using to rent to someone else.
This company is full of scumbag people who have no right to degrade any of us. They have no right to harass anyone who does not own the title of the home for any payment. They have no right to place anyone else's financial burdens upon us. For the lady named Cassie in the collections dept, and the woman named Becky, you people are low life scum. No manners, rude, yelling at my small children who answer your calls and you threaten them and tell them they won't have a home to sleep in by next week, how dare you!
And for the so called managers Caleb and Jessie, well considering I'm from Kentucky, I'll just say what I always say to idiots, God bless your little ignorant hearts. Peace out, please please please come get this trailer! I can't wait for you to realize you will spend more money trying to repo it and resell it, you may think your going to get 15,000$, PFFFFFTTTTT.

I Sent 8 Additional Principle Payments to 21st Mortgage In 2013.

I worked for several months trying to get them to fix it. They responded with that's how it happened and tough crap. They did not pay my property taxes in 2013, although their statement said they did. I don't know if they paid my insurance or not. I never received an updated insurance certificate for that year. After all this, we have had enough so we started the refinance chore (by the way San Antonio credit union is awesome).
They drag their feet turning in requests to the new company. After the deal was supposed to be done, they were still trying to take money from our bank account (auto pymts). Can You Believe that the payoff balance increased in another month and they took another month payment. That's obscured, anyone can see that is incorrect. Who can we report this to?

21st Mortgage will put you through an experience of lies and fraud unlike anything you could imagine. It was not disclosed in my paperwork that I was not buying real property. Being a single mother on a low income budget I thought I had met my dream. A beautiful home within my price range seemed too good to be true. Well it was. When I signed my mortgage papers, it was pointed out to me in the paperwork that I was buying a home "as is." OK that should mean floors, walls, cabinets structurally "as is". The interest rate was higher on the papers than in my disclosure agreement. It was 8 pm on the last day the paperwork would still be valid and I was homeless. What could I do? They told me to get rid of my old trailer because in 3 weeks my new one was coming. I waited 6 months.
Long story short, I bought a foreclosed manufactured home. That is trash! You cannot ever refinance a manufactured home that has been moved more than once! It holds zero equity. This has been confirmed by numerous experts who have advised that I bought a **. I was lied to at the time of signing verbally and in writing. Now the home has caught fire. The money from the insurance to rebuild the ** will be used to pay off the mortgage and I will be once again homeless. I will get my land back but this giant, ugly, half burned nuisance will sit there till I can afford its removal.
Since I bought the home in 2009, this is a list of everything that has gone wrong with the home. Water heater caught fire due to improper installation, electrician stole all of the wiring that existed on property prior to installation, brick layer for foundation over ordered blocks & use them to build his fence at his home. I paid for the blocks. All the propane leaked out inside the house due to a bad connection on the heater, the air conditioner was installed without coolant, home caught fire due to bad wiring. Inspector said bare wires were left in the wall & was professionally done. Now I am homeless and still paying the mortgage.

I have dealt with these fools for nearly 16 yrs. I made the mistake of changing my insurance from a very reputable co. to 21st. The reason was it was a better deal and could be incorporated in with my mortgage. Unfortunately, I filed a claim for a water leak, this past April 2014. I was sent the check, but it was rejected when I tried to deposit it. Apparently, the check was to go to 21st mortgage first. I was blamed for this mistake by them! They then told me there would be a 10 day (business day) hold before I'd be issued another check. When I asked the reason for the hold, the person became angry, and said I was the one who screwed up. I began yelling and said, "You don't want to upset a 100% disabled veteran!" I hung up. I was shaking. I was so upset!
I called to find out if and when I'd be compensated for the leak a few days ago. I was told by some idiot that before she could talk about the claim, I had to tell her when and how much my mortgage payment would be for the end of June 2014! Are you kidding?? I basically told her where to go, and hung up again! These people are crazy! They have also asked before, how much I make, bills, etc, in the past. I told them, no way would they get that info. I am retired, and bring in a good gov. income. The claims section finally told me when they get the check, they'll just send it to me.

I have 6 of those at the moment, and none of them match (all for the same time period). I've even asked about missing payments from the yearly analysis they send us each year, and they just tell me that I can't go by that because the computer just prints that up and no one checks it.

Our yearly analysis is supposed to be done personally by someone certified to do it.. that's the law. Even my contract is wrong.. has wrong total (more than it should of course) as well as higher interest than what we pay.

I wanted to be honest with them so that I could try and get some help so I don't lose my home. I normally don't get behind but when I filed my taxes, I was to use that to pay a few months up but then after 8 weeks, I called the IRS to find out someone stole my SSN which now puts that out 6 months cause I need to prove who I am. Then I'm thinking, "Oh wow now what." So I explained that to the supervisor and asked him if I could get a deferment for 2 months due to my money being messed up with IRS. The supervisor Jason told me that I should not depend on my taxes and need to be more responsible on making sure that my home payment is taken care of first.
Well when I have gotten a refund every year and have never had a problem with my taxes, I do depend on them. Then the rep also stated that even after I did the budget with them, I still don't get any help. Then why did you do it? Oh yes, so you can make jokes of how I spend my money and tell me to better manage it. What nerve do you have to tell me what to do with my money? I was doing the right thing by telling them what happened and all they do is downgrade you and treat you like dirt and send me letters if I don't pay by the end of this month which will then put me behind 2 months a court order to make me leave?

When I answered they not only wanted to know exactly when I was going to pay them, keep in mind, it was the 5th of the month and they had no disregard that I was at work, but expect these kind of questions: "Why is your payment late? Will this happen next month? Where do you work, how long have you worked there, what's the phone number there? How much do you make, how much does your spouse make and work, do you get paid weekly or bi-weekly, how much are your monthly household bills?"
I immediately thought a con-artist had called me saying they were with 21 Mortgage so I gave them no info and called the company myself. It was then that I realized that they have a staff of vultures that will start prying info little by little out of you and record everything for future interrogations. I've since asked for my 1098 mortgage interest form that I never received, they said they won't tell me anything until I make a payment so here we go again, "Hold please while I transfer you to someone that will degrade you and reprimand you for half an hour before we take your payment!"

My existing loan was transferred to this so-called lame company. I have nothing but problems ever since it was transferred. They tell you to call to get information on your loan. When you call, they can only "MAIL" anything to you, not email, not fax, but MAIL. Their website is so 19th century that it does not even provide you with any information. Such a wasted company. I am not in works to move this loan to another reputable company. HEED THIS WARNING, STAY AWAY FROM THIS COMPANY. I've never seen such unorganized crap in all my life.

Well, we're having the same problem with this so-called mortgage company! And its true they don't tell you a lot of things! We got pre-approved then they kept on asking for more and more personal documents, then we go and sign the contract and a week later they tell us that, "No! You won't be getting your home after all! Because your 60 days are up." We didn't know that we had to have the home delivered within that time, and the salesman never mentioned it either! So we told them fine! If you're not going to deliver the home to us, then we need our down payment back! And all they had to say is that, "No! You're not going to get it back!" What the hell, is that even legal? Well we already have our lawyer working on it, and what everybody is saying about them is true! They're just ripping people off!!

21st Mortgage is one of the worst companies I have ever dealt with, they are very unethical in the way they handle business. My advice to anyone who is considering using them as a loan company for a mobile home - Please don't, they are slum bags and will harass you forever and also if you authorize them to take money out of your account, they will illegally take more than authorized. This company is in the same category as a low life car dealership, and we all know how they are. They sell and repo homes to make money and will repo your home in the drop of a hat. We all go through hard times and these people are unprofessional in the way they react to their customer needs. Please stay away from these loan sharks.

We have been dealing with them for about 2 yrs now and we wish we had NEVER bought this place. Over the last few years, we have had some financial problems but the payments have never been more than 30 days late and it's only been a couple of times and they were ALWAYS caught up. This last time they started harassing me when my payment was 4 days late, it's ridiculous. I'm trying to find a way to get another company to refinance but because the house is valued far lower than what it was sold for and what is owed, we are having a hard time doing it. I would urge anyone to avoid this company at all costs. They are vampires disguised as a mortgage company.

This is the worst company I have ever had to deal with. We bought a mobile home through another company and ended up dealing with these clowns. They harass the hell out of you even when you're not behind in payments. And send you 3 or 4 letters at the same time not to mention being nastily talked to when you have the misfortune of having to do so. If you're late with a payment, they automatically send you foreclosure notices and more phone calls having to be talked to by 2 or 3 people. Our home burned down and we had to purchase a mobile home fast through Palm Harbor homes who have since went bankrupt and were sold a very cheap mobile home. The window blinds were rotten, the windows fall out, there is no insulation in the walls. The floors are falling in and we've had it only 2 or 3 years now. These problems were told to them when we got it and never addressed. I'm sick and tired of these nasty people and I don't believe they should be able to harass people the way that they do. We have been behind a payment due to wife being sick (brain Tumor, Heart attack) and their response was to start foreclose.

Now I am less than 30 days behind on my mortgage and just made a payment today that was posted and deducted from my bank account. I have requested a printed copy of what is left for pay-off and have not received anything from these clowns. To begin with I never signed my mortgage papers with them for they bought out the mortgage company I signed with and now I'm stuck dealing with these vampires.

We purchased a home in August of 2012. We signed the papers in October 2012. We were finally able move in to the home two days before Christmas (with an open septic tank). In November, we received a call asking if we wanted to make the payment on 12/1, 12/15, or 1/5/13. Those were our only choices. It was our understanding that we would not be making payments for 45 days after we moved in. *Lies* We chose the 1/5 payment because with expenses of moving in mid-winter over 50 miles away, we didn't have much money left. The land was ours, free and clear and paid for - over 60 acres.
21st wanted 20 acres which they appraised at a much lower cost than any of our neighbors were asking and selling their land for and our land was the best on the road. But we didn't care. It'll be paid for in a couple of years anyway. We had originally gone with 21st because the dealer we bought the home from used them. Our credit was not the best. After 25 years working for a company, I was downsized and my husband had a heart attack and was forced to quit work but too young to get SSI. We got behind when going from $80k a year to zero. It took me 2 years to find a job. By selling property, surrendering to the bank a rental house they sold for $90,000 which we owed $30,000 on, and moving to another state we made it.
We were approved by 21st and put up 18 acres of our farm as down payment. The first survey cut the prime road frontage off all across the front of the property. We refused to agree to that, and paid for another survey ourselves which cut 20 acres out of the center. We now have 18 acres on one side, 20 acres on the other and four acres across the back of the 18 acres in the middle. We changed our business bank after we signed the papers in October to another bank closer to home.
After Christmas, I called and told the bank that we had a new bank. I gave them all the information and faxed the paperwork. They did not send the payment request to the new bank on time and the payment did not get credited by the 5th. After that was rectified (in two days) our payments were always on time up until May. In May we had one auto debit returned because my daughter's family moved in with us when they lost their home in another state when our son-in-law lost his job. After working for $50k, he could only find minimum wage. Counting ourselves and our adult disabled son, we were feeding and housing 8 people in our home. Fortunately we have a farm and a 4-bedroom house.
We paid the payment (same month just a few days late past the 5th). They said they could no longer debit our payment because we had had two payments rejected (even though the first was not a rejection - they sent it to the wrong bank). So, I said, "Fine, I'll have my bank send the payments." I set up payments to actually be paid weeks early - two of them (dividing the payment in half and paying more than the total payment due).
Three weeks ago my husband fell carrying some things down the back porch steps. A trip to the doctor resulted in a trip to the hospital for CT scans - and an ambulance trip to the University Hospital Trauma Center where he was placed in ICU in the trauma center for bleeding on the brain. Because of the heart attack before, he must take blood thinner. That had to be stopped to stop the bleeding in the brain. He was in hospital with me sleeping on a chair next to him, working on a laptop, children driving in from other states. Because the hospital is over 80 miles from where we live, I spent an awful lot of gas driving back and forth to feed animals and trying to drive to work for a few hours while the children could sit.
Naturally, the first payment the bank sent was rejected because it was short when our car insurance was taken out (I forgot it - too much to worry about). The second payment that would be paid 6 days later was sent by the bank. 21st began calling me and harassing me at work, at the hospital, on my email, and Lord only knows who else they called. When I told them the bank had sent the first half and the second half would be sent on the last day of the month (2 business days later), they threatened to foreclose. The "manager" said I'd have to tell the bank to cancel the payment they sent and I'd have to pay $10 to wire them the money for both. I told them that cancelling the payment was not possible; it had already gone.
The bank, I'm sure would charge me at least $40 to stop payment IF they let me do it. He didn't care, he only said we were in danger of losing our farm and we'd have to wire the total payment by the 30th. I refused to listen to any more and told them that they didn't listen to me very well and I could not wire the money by the 30th. He kept "threatening me" so I hung up. If they won't listen, it's not much point in repeating myself. (I was at work when talking to him. Someone needs to tell them that harassment at work is illegal.)
My husband and I have been married over 45 years. We have purchased 8 houses in that time - residences as well as property we rented to others. I have dealt with several banks and this is by far the worst bunch of people I've ever dealt with. We aren't even a month past due and he's threatening to foreclose on my property with my husband in ICU. While talking to them, he said from now on I'd have to wire the payment every month because they had 3 payments that were rejected. I reminded him that one of those was their fault, but he couldn't care less.
I am not spending $10 to wire the money every month. I will send the payment and if they cash it, then so be it. But if they don't, then I'm going to my attorney. My husband and I saved all our lives, sent 4 children to college, and paid $200k cash for our land so they can foreclose on 18 acres of it for one late payment. I don't think so. Stay away from these people. They are due the money they loaned us, but they could be a lot nicer in getting it. I think these people are a special kind of people. They take this job because they enjoy persecuting people and they have no ethics, or they're the type of people who will do any job for money. They could not pay me enough to be that mean to anyone.
I'm a social worker, not because it pays a lot; it's doesn't. But because I get to help families and children every day. They're not hurting me, only themselves. They and the company that makes them act this way needs to take a real good look at themselves. All the money in the world isn't worth that.

When I called them out on this, I received a phone call from James, a sales manager with the 21st Mortgage Re-Marketing Department. He was incredibly rude and condescending, and told me that I didn't know what I was talking about. He kept pointing out the disclaimers on the website stating that the price could change and that price did not include delivery and set up. I understand that it does not include delivery and set up to my property, but James stated that I also needed to pay delivery and set up from the original property to the manufactured home sales lot where I viewed this home. I told him that they should have thought about that before they go posting prices on their website. He stated that I could still purchase this home if I would like to. I told him that I would not be purchasing this home or any home with 21st Mortgage.

She told me again that it was a bad decision to choose a vacation over my mortgage payment. I ended saying it was my choice. She then hung up on me. I was so outraged that I ended calling back and wanting to talk to someone about how I was treated. Another manager got on the phone and "uh-huh" me while I was explaining the incident.

I have requested that they notify me when they do receive the so-called late or lost checks, and every time they have failed to do that.

First of all, my mortgage payments have been automatically deducted from my account and have never been a problem. It is a relatively new loan, for a small amount. I never received any notification from my bank that my December 15 payment had been sent back for NSF, and I therefore assumed it went through as usual and went about my usual affairs. I receive numerous 800, 865, and other prefix calls per day, as I am looking to go back to school, and have looked into this online. My voice mail is inundated with calls. The first call from the mortgage company was 12/28, but they said it was "Anthony from 21st, return my call..." I'm sorry, but being a relatively new company to me, this was not verifiable as my mortgage company, and I didn't realize what or who it was.
I then received a couple of other calls like this and a text, which said to return a call to an 800# with an extension of 19! When I did try to contact them on 1/5, 1/6, 1/7, this extension did not exist! And when I reverted to the automated operator to get me to Anthony, it hung up on me! This was ridiculous. And I kept missing further calls! I then got a letter today. When I called the number on the letter, I then went back and listened to one of the voice mails from Anthony, and there was his full extension. Gee! So, I called, and a woman answered! I told her what was going on, and she said that my payment date is the 15th, and this payment had been due December 15, and asked why I fell behind. I told her that I thought it had been paid and I went about all my other things.
She said this one had to be paid, it had not been done, but now another payment would come out on the fifteenth. I said I didn't get paid until the 18th, and there wouldn't be enough to do that, and if the second payment could be put off for 3 days, it would be back on track. She said she could try to reset my payment schedule to the 20th of each month, and that would have to be every month, and hold on a second. Well, I didn't get her name, and the phone went dead! I called back. A guy answered and said he didn't know whom I was talking to, and he didn't know what I was talking about. He proceeded to ask me what I had been doing with my money! That with the biweekly paychecks I have received since November, I should have more than enough to pay this mortgage on the due date, plus the second payment on the 15th.
The date would not be moved to the 20th, or even the 18th, when I get paid again. He then got his supervisor on the phone again who reiterated this and told me that it would have to be paid tomorrow, and then the next payment would be taken out on the 15th, and the payment date could not be adjusted. I would have to go pay $8.50 to have this wired to them tomorrow and call with a confirmation number! She, too, was rude, nasty, and unbelievable. I want to know what happened to the lady who said they could move my date to 1/20! The sooner this is paid off, the better. I will.

Let me make this short. This company is the worst I have ever done business with in my life. They are extremely rude and unprofessional. All I was trying to do is change my payment date to 3 days later on the same month. I was up to date and always on time since I do automatic withdrawal. She was rude and kept wanting to know why I couldn't make it on that day. I asked to speak to a manager and she continued to ask why I couldn't pay. I asked time, over time, over time, over time to speak with a supervisor, no luck. I had to hand up after giving her a few choice words which fit her perfectly. Do not use this company!

My husband and I bought a mobile home back in 2008, 21st is our lender. In 2010, we had to move the mobile due to unforeseen circumstances. At that time, I was informed that although 21st would not be able to help us with a tag loan, they would most certainly be able to help us with the costs of our electric, water, and sewer hook-ups that we would need to put in, in order to place the home and make it a liveable situation. So, we moved the home, with costs out-of-pocket, and waited for 21st to help with our hook-ups.
I started to get the runaround about how the whole deal worked. One day they would say, "Yes, you're fully approved! Send us the estimates." So I would, and then wait again. The next thing I know, we are not yet approved and we need to do another budget analysis, and "Could you please send the estimates?" Well, I already sent the estimates and our budget hasn't changed since 2 weeks ago! It was summer time at the time so I was not highly concerned. When winter hit, and we still had not received the help promised us, I was furious. I started calling on a daily basis until I was informed that they had never approved us, and they have no records of any of our conversations.
Needless to say, we were denied, and without power, water, or sewer to our home. We had an electric furnace, and carried water in from a nearby creek to bath with, and had rented a Porta Potty that was freezing in the cold winter air. My husband, our small children and I lived in this situation for around 8 months, until we had had enough! At the same time, we fell behind in our payments, not just for our home but for everything. Other creditors seemed willing to understand, but 21st Mortgage Corporation was just plain rude, unforgiving, and refused to listen to any kind of rhyme or reason. They would call my cell phone daily, and if that didn't work, they would call my parents home (how did they get that number and why are you harassing my parents? I'm 30 years old, not a child in their home!). They even started calling my brothers and one time they called my husband's employer (who informed them that if they harassed him at work that he would have to be let go, and then they would receive no payments!).
One day, I visited my mother who was in huge distress because of the recent conversation she had had with a representative at 21st Mortgage who had been very rude and inconsiderate to her and even demanded that she make the payment for us! My husband eventually decided to seek employment 1,000 miles away, where he could hopefully make enough money to get us on our feet again. Our children and I moved in with my parents, and continued to be harassed by 21st Mortgage.
One time, they called while I was changing a diaper. My mom answered the phone and they asked if I was available. She said no, but she could take a message. They informed her that she was lying and that they know that I was there and to let them speak to me now! She kept calm and again said that I was not available to answer the phone right now. They demanded to know exactly why? So, she told them, I was changing my son's diaper. Guess what they said next? "Well, you need to go and change that diaper for her, and put her on the phone now, because this is more important!" Can you believe these people!
After 18 months of living apart from my husband, my children's daddy, we have finally been reunited and live in a rental home. The mobile to this day sits empty and without hook-ups, until we can raise the $25,000-$30,000 to pay out of our pockets, without the lending assistance promised to us by 21st Mortgage! Today, I made my home payment to them. They are already harassing me for next month's payment and we aren't even in December yet. They brought up the issue that the home is vacant. I told them that it was their fault, which they argued about. They have no records of anything, and every time I try to bring up this sore topic, I am suddenly switched to a new representative and start all over at first base.
I decided to inform them that their customers are always right, that is what you learn in business. They said, "No, they aren't," in which I demanded, "Yes, your customers are always right!" By the end of the conversation, I was informed that, and I quote, "The customer is never right!" I cannot believe this company has not had some huge lawsuits against them yet. But of course, after a $5,000 down payment and payments (we are not currently behind) since July 2008, our payoff balance is $3,000 higher than the original price of the home. How does that happen!? I guess that's why nobody has sued, because this business probably can hire the best lawyers possible with all this extra income of their crimes!
Thanks, 21st Mortgage corporation for destroying the life that my family had and uprooting my belief that there are still decent people in the lending business! Also, for causing my husband to doubt my credibility in the promises your company made to me over the phone and have no records of. Stop threatening my family and harassing us. Follow through with your word for once. Take the damn home and be through with it, for God's sake. Our payments are current!

Until today, I have had professional dealings with the company, except that they have unfortunately found it necessary to call, email and mail letters to me daily. It's as if they think that will make me produce the money out of thin air. They kept repeating (two names: Tommy and Jaz **) that they might be able to forgive the past due amount.

After giving them all my budgetary information for a second time, they refused to help me because I can't do the things that were suggested to cut my expenses.

In 2007, I purchased a land/home foreclosure package from 21st Mortgage Corporation. A few years later, I learned that there was an encroachment issue. Our neighbor’s home is five or more feet over our property line and also possess a portion of our land. In September of 2011, I contacted 21st Mortgage and asked them what could be done about this. I let them know that the neighbors and I would be willing to do some kind of land swap to try and remove the encroachment. I was told that if that were to be done, we would need to pay for a survey and draw up all the paperwork, but that they would make no promises on what they would do. I left it alone until July of 2012 until I realized that I could not be refinanced or that I could not sell a property to anyone with an encroachment issue. So basically, I have been paying for something that I will never be able to sell if I wanted.
I then called 21st Mortgage again. I was told that they didn't know about this issue when selling the home to me, so why should they be held responsible for something they didn't know about? I explained to them that they had signed the contract and deed that both stated there were no encumbrances (liens, encroachments, burdens, etc). They then told me they could not give me legal advice. I asked them to please send that to me in writing. (They never did.) I then turned to the Stewart Title Insurance and they explained to me that because I was not required by 21st Mortgage to have a survey that they did not insure encroachments. 21st Mortgage was the owner and I financed it through them. About a week after speaking to 21st Mortgage, I received our insurance policy through them as we had been doing the whole time. It usually is around $980. It had gone up 100%.
On 9/17/2012, I called them (Voyager Insurance) to find out why and they explained that Florida's rates had gone up and that my payment was now $921, without their policy that my payment would be $721. I spoke with Valerie. Since I thought I was calling the insurance company, I asked her how she knew my mortgage amount. She told me that they were 21st Mortgage. She told me that this was the only policy available for my area and that I was welcome to shop around. After the phone call, I found new coverage and sent it in. I called them to let them know and they told me it would have to be approved. I waited and received a letter on 9/24/2012 stating that it was denied. I called them and let them know that my insurance agent had covered more than what the home was worth and that she had told me that it was against the law for anyone to tell me what to carry on my homeowner’s policy. I was then offered a new policy from 21st Mortgage (with more coverage) for $940 after a few days prior. There were no other options for me. I was denied and was transferred to Linda in insurance at 21st Mortgage who then approved my insurance through her manager. I then asked Linda what my payment amount would be she said it wouldn't hit until the following business day and for me to call back.
On 9/25/2012, I called Linda in insurance to ask what my payment would be. She told me there would be no change. Since my original payment is $611 and I pay for my escrow through them at $114, I explained to her that there was no way. She then tried to explain to me how it works. I let her know that there was no way this made sense. She told me she would figure it out and call me back. I later received a voicemail from Linda saying that my payment was $741 which was different than what Valerie had told me, but better than $921. I wonder how there can be so many different stories on what should be simple math, or how my payment can vary from one person to the next. There is so much more to this but this was the sum of it.

My insurance company (AAA) sent me a check for damages to my house. The check was made out to 21st Mortgage Corp. and me. I endorsed the check ($6451.25) and sent it to Travis at 21st. He said that I could not do my own roof and I had to use a contractor. I got a contractor (although I did $20,000+ improvements with no help from 21st) and the bill is $8,800 for my roof alone. 21st sent them a check for $4000 and kept the rest until the job was done. Why do they make interest money off my insurance check? Then, I got AAA to send me the depreciation check in the amount of $4,099 and it was made out the same way. That check is the depreciation for the roof only! 21st Mortgage is going to keep it until all the work to the entire home is done to their standards. Who owns what? I have paid $50,000 of down payment and mortgage payments over 10 years and just put $25,000 into improvements to my home and property. Who has more invested in this home and should control the money, 21st Mortgage Corp. or me?

This is the most unprofessional company I have ever had to work with in my life. I have emails sent to HUD regarding 21st Mortgage's behavior and recordings of them yelling at me, calling me a squatter, and telling me I need to get out of the house by the weekend because I have not made a payment. When I asked them what is the legal process of foreclosure because I know you can't just kick me out on a weekend, they hung up in my face. I was smart this time and recorded the whole conversation so it would not be a he-said-she-said in court (because I will be taking them to court). I even let the supervisor who was yelling at me know I was recording the conversation. He didn't care. He kept talking to me like I was garbage. He kept using bully tactics despite the fact that I said he was being recorded.
Before it even got to the point of foreclosure, I asked them for the buyout price so that they could be paid off and I could work with another lender (because I had enough of being bullied by them). I was told, "No one will work with you. You owe us money. Any company you work with is going to call us and we are going to tell them what's going on with your file. They won't work with you." I said, "All I am asking is for you to give me the buyout price please." He said, "We will mail it to you." I asked him if he is able to give me that information over the phone (because 21st sent me a letter of default stating basically that I had a few weeks to come up with the solution or I will be going to foreclosure, so I tried to get this information via phone to hurry up and come up with a solution). But of course, the manager wanted to degrade me, yell at me and get nowhere.
I asked him again (after dealing with him yelling at me) if he could please give me the information via phone. He said they can give it to me any way they would like and he chooses to mail it. At that point, I was ready to give up on the house and dealing with them. They call and harass me, and then they call and harass my grandmother (who is also on the mortgage) when I do not answer the phone. They treat and degrade people so bad and they wonder why their customers do not answer their calls. Who wants to be treated like scum when they are facing hardship? I am sick and tired of this company getting away with how they treat consumers, and it is not just us. Other people in our mobile home community have similar issues with 21st. Something will legally be done. Bullying tactics should not be used in a professional setting.

In August of 2007, I contacted 21st Mortgage in regards to a property advertised for sale at 450 Cherry Branch Road in Crossville, TN. I submitted a credit application over the phone and a few days later, was contacted by phone and told that I had been approved for the loan. I was told at that time I needed no money down. Instead, I was to make double payments on the property for 6 months to satisfy what was delinquent on the property as well as keep current with payments from the time I moved in.
After 6 months, the payment was to be $440.07 per month and home was to go into my name. I was told that the "foreclosed purchaser, Laura ** would be contacted for approval about the situation. 21st Mortgage received her approval and I sent by MoneyGram the first of six $888.64 payments to 21st Mortgage Corporation.
After receipt of the first payment, 21st Mortgage gave me the combination to the lock on the door of the property and I moved in. I continued to make monthly payments to 21st Mortgage via MoneyGram in accordance with the agreement we made. The final double payment was sent in January of 2008. Upon receipt, 21st Mortgage stated that I had satisfied the requirements of our agreement and that they would begin finding a title company in my area so that I could sign the necessary paperwork and to save me a trip to Knoxville. It was during this waiting period that I made a payment for February 2008.
I received a phone call from 21st Mortgage stating that they had some bad news for me. I was told that Laura ** had contacted 21st Mortgage and stated that she wanted her home back. I was told that 21st Mortgage's hands were tied on the situation and there was nothing they could do, they had to give it to her. I was told that I would have to vacate the premises immediately. I was very upset with this information and did not understand how this happened.The representative, Rachel (whom I only dealt with), profusely apologized and stated that 21st Mortgage would love to still do business with me and that I had $6000 credit with the company and that when I decided to purchase another home, they had lots of other properties in my area.
I immediately vacated the property per the instruction of 21st Mortgage. A few weeks passed and I was contacted at my work by Rachel again. This time she wanted to share with me that Laura ** had not taken the property. Rachel expressed that 21st Mortgage told Laura ** that she would need to pay advance payments on the loan and pay $2500 in fees for the foreclosure process that had already taken place. Laura ** refused and the home remained empty. Rachel stated that 21st Mortgage was going to go ahead and see the foreclosure through till the end. She stated that the property would be going to auction at the courthouse.
She stated that 21st Mortgage could not bid anymore on the property than what was owed to them, but in the event that the home did not sell, would I be willing to sign a contract agreeing to assume the home if it came back to them. I told Rachel that I was not sure about the situation. She saidshe understood. I did not sign the agreement and it would not have mattered anyway. The home was auctioned and it did not go back to 21st Mortgage.
Since that time, I have tried multiple times to contact 21st Mortgage about my credit and the promise made to no avail. All inquiries to the company went ignored until recently. I sent an email expressing my anger about the situation. I was contacted by a customer service representative who stated, employees I mentioned were no longer there and that the name of Laura ** or the property address was not found in there system. The next day, I emailed copies of paperwork I have to substantiate the claims I am making. Upon receipt, the representative stated that it appeared I walked away from the home and that my situation was to be turned over to the legal department. No one will return my calls.

The lady from 21st, whose name happens to be Missy, assured me the trailer was nice and in excellent condition! The mobile home was not on site to view, but they sent beautiful photos so I agreed to purchase it. When they brought the mobile home out, there were questions about certain things that weren’t done. I called 21st Mortgage and they assured me they would send someone out to fix it! They never did! I called again, they told me I had to speak to Missy, the owner of the trailer and supervisor!
When I called her, she told me to fix the things and send her the bill and she would take care of it! She never responded! I called and spoke to someone named Tim there and he told me to send him a list of damages and he would get someone to handle it right away! He never did! A storm came and water was leaking everywhere in the home. Over my electrical stove, plugs, wash room, damaged rugs, etc.! I called them furiously and all they could say was, "You need to just continue paying your mortgage and we will eventually get someone out there!" At this time I was fed up, stressed and seeking mental help!
I stopped paying in 2007 and contacted the head manager and was informed that I needed to call the insurance company for damages. The insurance adjuster came out and said there was nothing they could do because the damages were caused by unstable sealing and damages to the mobile home that were just patched up!

I called the lady Missy and told her that I was going to move and they could have the piece of junk! She stated that she owed $6000 in debt on the trailer and that if I found somebody that would buy it and fix it, she would sell it to them for a lesser price and not put it in as a foreclosure and wouldn’t put me in the credit borough! I called my aunt in New Jersey and she came all the way here to Alabama and looked at the trailer and said the only way she would buy it is if she gave her a good price and promised not to put me in the credit borough! Missy agreed!
The finalizing of the paper work ended in June or August of 2008! When I went to apply for credit in May of 2009, I was in the credit borough for 21st Mortgage owing $27,000! I called the mortgage company and they said that Missy no longer worked for them! I called Missy and she said, “Yeah, I did tell you that.” And she said she would take care of it for me! Months went by and I called the mortgage company and they told me that Missy was no longer a part of their company and they don’t care what she said, they will not change it! After I went through all the hassle of selling this house for them. In that condition, they tricked me like this! I have been calling since March of 2010 this year until they told me if I called again, they would get an attorney and sue me for harassment! These are the dirtiest lowdown people I have ever seen in my life!

I suffered for a long time and was forced to file disability! Now I am living on Disability income and unable to get loans or anything because of the damage they did to me and my credit!

We eventually moved from Louisville, Kentucky where the home is located to our present address in Illinois in March 2008. We put the home up for sale for $18,500. We still had a balance of around $18,100 with 21st Mortgage at the time.
We had a lady interested in the home and had gotten approved through Aaron Financial for the amount we were asking. We had gotten the loan documents ready to sign and have the home sold until we ran into a problem. They had to do an inspection on the home and doing so found out the model of the home was wrong. The home is actually a Clayton Atlantis and not a Clayton Ardmore. The data plate inside the home plainly states Atlantis as the model. Aaron Financial then started they could only approve the loan for $14,000 now because that is what the home is really worth. The lady I spoke with at Aaron Financial said that under NADA an Ardmore now in 2008 is worth a base value of $14,512. An Atlantis is only worth $10,456.
We contacted Clayton Homes and they told us that they don't even make a Clayton Ardmore home. 21st Mortgage spoke to them as well and was told the same thing. We also had to pay 21st Mortgage $450 to have the home appraised before we purchased it. The appraiser clearly put Ardmore on the appraisal as the model and noted on it as well that he obtained that information from the data plate inside the home. Which says Atlantis on it so I'm not sure where he got that information of Ardmore being the model. Neither 21st Mortgage nor the appraiser researched this information to make sure it was correct prior to selling the home.
The appraiser told me he got the base value of the home through NADA that he listed on the appraisal. If they would have pulled up the serial # it would have shown Atlantis as the model but they failed to do so. They lied to us and latterly we signed papers for something that doesn't exist. They told us they have done what they can to fix the problem by sending us a cure letter, but I don't believe that is right. We do have a FHA Title 1 Mobile home loan as well.
We still believe we paid too much for the home. 21st Mortgage gave us many excuses as to how the problem happened. The home was made in Ardmore Tennessee and that it was because the home was a repo its hard to get the correct information. Yet the data plate inside the home has the correct information, so why didn't they look at it? Whether they know it was wrong and was trying to make a quick buck or not its still unprofessional and something needs to be done. They kept insisting the model being wrong doesn't affect the price of the home. Yet our tax amount for the home went from 17,660 to 11,660. That ends up being a $70 difference on our yearly taxes we pay. Also the difference listed under NADA for the homes is a $4,000 difference. We have sent them all paperwork we have showing them this but nothing has happened.
At first the representatives at 21st Mortgage kept telling us that they didn't go off NADA for anything to get the value of the home. Then once I told them the appraiser told me that he used NADA to get the base value of the home listed on the appraisal and then added and subtracted amounts based on the homes condition, 21st Mortgage changed their story. They were now saying they used NADA in a combination with other things to get the amount. I have repeatably asked them that if the appraisal has been done correctly, wouldn't it of made a difference in the price we paid for the home and I always heard "not necessarily", never no. They said they used the appraisal and a combination of other things to come up with the $19,147.50 that they were selling the home for. Like the state its in, and other things. How can they guarantee us that we paid the proper amount when they used a document with incorrect information on it to help determine the price? Also they were sloppy in preparing the home to be sold.
There was plywood under the kitchen sink that you could tell had been wet and looked as if it was rotting. We had asked to have it replaces and were told it was to be fixed but it never was. Unfortunately we never had it in writing. Also we had a document stating a dishwasher was to be installed within 21 business days and that wasn't done on time. There was trim that was needed to cover the holes on each side of the dishwasher as well and we didn't receive those until we moved out in March 2008. The big problem was the carpet. The carpet in our master bathroom started to bubble a few months after we moved in. The master bathroom and bedroom are connected except a separate room on the side with the stand up shower and toilet.
A few months later we decided to remove the carpet in the shower room and put tile down. Well to our surprise they had put carpet over an open-air vent right outside the shower, which was causing the carpet to bubble. We carpet now needs to be restretched to fix the problem. We informed 21st Mortgage of what happened but they just apologized and dropped it. They also carpeted over half the kitchen linoleum flooring and in the hallway. Also the garden tub in our master bathroom had the original carpet on it and they carpeted right over the old blue carpet that was in the home around the garden tub.
In the past few months we have discovered more. Since the appraisal was done wrong, we are able to get the original appraiser to do another appraisal but my boyfriend and I just don't understand how he got the model he did in the first place. He had to of spoke to the mortgage company first and then just ignored what the data plate said. I don't trust him to do another appraisal. I have filed complaints thru BBB, FTC, and Kentucky Attorney General. The BBB eventually said they can't do anything and that we need to seek legal counsel. We are unable to do that right now. We are paying for 2 homes, a baby, and I have recently lost my job. We believe there is legally more the mortgage company has to do to fix their mistake but they are refusing to do so.
At this point it has caused to much stress and hassle, we believe 21st mortgage should take the home back and sell it the way it should be sold instead of lying about what it was. We shouldn't be held responsible and be expected to keep paying on something we were lied to about. We signed a document agreeing to purchase an Ardmore home and we got an Atlantis. I was lied to and its wrong.
I am now stuck with a mobile home that I am no longer living in and cant sell it because they screwed us on $4000. I was suppose to have the home sold in March 2008, but once they found out it wasnt worth as much as they thought because the model was wrong, they could no longer finance her for it. Therefore we have been stuck paying for it since them and now cant afford to pay it anymore. We are living in a different state, paying for 2 residences, a baby, and only on one income. They didnt even care when we calld to say we didnt know if we wouldnt be able to make Augusts payment, but we somehow did. A september payment will not be made because I will put food on the table for my son before I continue to pay for something I didnt agree to buy.
