Unfortunately, nothing good to say about Chase. I was a customer for 15 years, never was late in a payment, never missed a payment. They required $500 to start a refinance application on a house with over 50% equity and they did everything in their power to not close this refinance. It has been 6 months and they are constantly delaying and asking for information that is meant to delay the process. It has been a terrible experience. I would never give them the benefit of the doubt, in any process. Mistakes and delays all the way through the process.

The wait time was more than an hour, call dropped, Direct numbers to get help forwarded to main customer service line. Talk to representative option is discouraged. Chase must improve this service for existing mortgage clients.

I called regarding my escrow account which states that much more was taken and what was paid. The representative said she was going to put me on hold for one moment look further into the situation. I immediately received a recording stating their office was closed and call back another day. I started contacting them at 5 p.m., they close at 6. I was kept on hold for about 38 min, much longer than the estimated wait time that was given to me at the beginning of the call which was only 8 minutes. It took the representative 15 minutes to find the statement that I was referring to which shouldn't be that time-consuming since there's a statement date listed clearly on each statement.
Enclosing the service that I have received from Chase regarding this in issue and issues in the past is inferior. Not only that but their numbers do not match up, yet instead of getting answers I get hung up on. Unfortunately my mortgage was bought by Chase, I never would have chosen them due to their lack of customer service, knowledge and lack of integrity. I'm referring to the lawsuits being filed against them for not paying mortgage holders interest on their escrow account which is required by law in some states.

We have had Chase as our mortgage company since 1993. That little fact plus ZERO missed or late mortgage payments didn't stop them from keeping our $500 good faith funds when attempting to buy a new home. The home that we were trying to buy failed inspection with severe structural damage. The sill plate (the structure in your home that your floor joists sit on) was completely deteriorated. The inspector reached his hand into it and pulled out crumbling wood. There was other damage just as bad, but apparently Chase thought we should proceed with this purchase as they have flat out refused to refund our money! Chase policy state that if a home fails inspection the good faith funds are returned. Just words in the air. The funds should be called GOOF FAITH! THEY sucker us into believing we can actually trust them. I am out $500 for ZERO services rendered. FOREWARNED IS FOREARMED -- use your local bank. I WILL!!

I was a mortgage customer with Chase for almost 20 years, so when we were looking to sell our home and finance a new one, of course I thought that the easiest way would be to go through the company we had dealt with for so long; good idea right? WRONG! I will NEVER again do business with Chase or ANYONE affiliated with them. At the time I was seeking a new home loan with them, my business (self employed) had been operating just under 2 years. I was very clear from the start about our financials and situation but their representative who should be the first gate keeper warning of possible issues, ignored the clear red flag.
These scam artists shoved me through their system, stringing me on for weeks knowing full well that I was not going to qualify since self employed companies require 2 years of tax returns in order to qualify as a source of income per FHA loan requirements. They were more interested in jacking up their "number of people served" rate, than actually doing right by a long standing customer such as myself. It was only AFTER we had an offer in on a home and had our previous one sold (and were renting it back short term) that they pulled the rug out from under us. Luckily I was able to get a short term loan (albeit at insane interest rates) to buy the house we wanted and later refinanced once we had 2 years on the books, with Rocket Mortgage, an actual good company as opposed to these worthless snakes, but this experience took years off my life due to stress.
What else should I have expected though from the company originated by JP Morgan, one of the shadiest American oligarchs in history who was largely responsible for the great depression and likely committed insurance fraud over the sinking of his ship the Titanic... but I digress. STAY AWAY from Chase at all costs, they will rob you, cheat you, and take advantage of you for their ends and will always lie to you to benefit their goals.

Have had a mortgage with Chase for over 15 years and it has been paid on time or ahead of time for that entire time. Recently I notified the local bank office that the property taxes would be paid a little late and explained the reason. The county tax accessor had already been approached and an arrangement had been determined. The county notified Chase by fax as requested by the local branch. Shortly thereafter the taxes were paid as agreed with the county. Chase filed an escrow a month later claiming they had paid the tax (they hadn't) and the county said, if they had, it would have been refused. Then they filed a second escrow for insurance from two years before that had been paid and closed.
They followed this mess with a series of mortgage statements (2-3 a month) with entirely different due amounts. In good faith I worked with a nearby branch but they did little, over a three month period. The escrows were dropped (supposedly at my request) and then they turned the account over to a collection agency. Mind you I am 77 years old, retired and a vet and probably will end up losing what is my home and retirement income to a bank that doesn't care or attempt to try to help in a way one would expect to protect the client. Thus far have been unable to get any help and have had my credit driven down to the low 500s thanks to Chase and the incompetency of staff at branches.

Chase claims that customer satisfaction is 100% guaranteed. After working with chase about refinancing my home, I discovered that chase is 100% unsatisfaction guaranteed. The level of unprofessionalism on the part of the loan officer is unbelievable. I have complained to his supervisor and requested working with somebody else several times via e-mail, but, my complaints were totally ignored. After the loan was approved, I decided to walk away as I was very frustrated with the unethical behavior and practices of the loan officer. I do not recommend chase.

My realtor warned me, but I went with Chase anyway...Short story is, Chase has no respect for their customer's money, time or sanity. The long story is: Lending advisors were insanely hard to get on the phone. I had to run around basically begging people to tell me what was going on. They even had 45 days to close, not the normal 30. Finally, in one of our last calls, I was told that we'd DEFINITELY be ready to close by (x) date. The close was then scheduled on an email thread where Chase was cc'd and all parties were ready to go. At 4pm the day before our closing, I find out that Chase never actually cleared us to close and that the lending advisor was no longer with the company (!!??). No one from Chase called to inform me, I had to find out by calling his voicemail and getting a redirect to someone else. This was only made worse by the fact that I had taken PTO and booked a rental car for the 5 hour drive to the close.
After the second close was scheduled, I was getting calls and emails on the drive up that Chase had not gotten some necessary title documents and STILL might not close! We didn't even know if would happen upon walking into the office that morning. I asked for some kind of credit because of the botched closing and the disappearing lending advisor fiasco, but it didn't fall under their "late closing" credit promotion because we had a few more days per the contract. Again, I only found this out after WEEKS of calling, emailing and following up. I ended up being out roughly 1000 dollars on prorated rent/bills, partner's lost wages and PTO I couldn't cancel. I had to cancel my movers and move everything myself. Total disrespect for my time. I ended up wondering if they just personally didn't like me by the end, but most reviews make it sound like that's their default attitude. Also, notice how all of the 5 star reviews seem like they were written by the same person?

I am a first time home buyer. While I'm not uneducated about the process, I'm definitely no expert. The few times I spoke with my lending agent she was knowledgeable and pleasant, but I mean the FEW times. I have spoken with her on the phone a total of three times, including the initial call after I submitted my application. My calls, texts and emails most often went days without a response. I actually called her manager, who was very helpful, but I would have thought her responsiveness would have improved after this. It did not.
When my closing disclosure came and had amounts on it much higher than expected, it was my real estate agent who offered to review it and discuss with me, not the bank. Chase has definitely become the "Walmart of banks". While it would be nice to have all of my payments and accounts through the same bank, I will be moving my accounts to a different bank as soon as my loan is closed. If the opportunity to refinance through a different bank comes, I will also be doing that. I most definitely do not recommend Chase mortgage, especially if you are a first time buyer.

We started our refi on May 17 2021. This is Sept 2021 and our refi still has not closed. We were told it would take approximately 45 days. Wrong!! We have had one problem after another. We were told our appraisal would be waived. Wrong! Our home is in a Trust and because of something in our Trust the appraisal waiver would not apply but were not told what it was. We out about this a month after our Trust info was given. Our credit scores were excellent 800 range. Our home is worth at least $500,00.00 and we have been with Chase for 9 years with no overdue or late payment and are financing only 145,000.00.
It is very hard to get answers promptly or even any answers at all. They claim their computers are down or have a huge demand of clients. We have promptly given all info when requested. I sent info early on for verification of my employment and just last week they told us they could not get thru to my employer. We have an application with another lender and they will not need an appraisal and are going with them. We will not do business with Chase ever again.

I called back in May to perform a mortgage recast. The person was very nice and made me feel that all my needs were met and made the process seem super easy. The individual quoted me with my new monthly mortgage amount, when my new autopay amount would take effect, and reassured me that the terms of the loan (interest, years) would not be affected. The individual instructed me to use the online platform to make the payment toward the loan. They reassured me making a $30,000 payment toward the principal would work fine on the platform. I followed up right after the phone call with attempting to make a $30k payment toward the principal using the Chase.com.
I found out that the max daily limit was $25k, which I assumed was not a big deal and logged on the next business day to make the $5k. Then I waited 1.5 months to see when the first auto pay would be the new amount quoted after fulfilling my requirements of giving them $30k. To my surprise, the auto pay amount was the same as before. I immediately called customer service 7/6/21 to find out what happened to my money and why my payment amount wasn't changed. I was told that a form needed to be sent and signed which was not what I was originally told. Now I am guessing I will have to wait another 1.5 months for the originally agreed upon lowered payment amount to kick in. Even though I fulfilled my end of the agreement by giving them $30k. This is extremely upsetting and unacceptable, and I don't know how a mistake with that kind of money involved would be allowed to happen. Fix this problem for future consumers.

Chase managed our file extremely poorly, making many mistakes and dragging their feet for a month. We ended up closing late. Aside from the lack of customer service and false/misleading information that we received, Chase was impossible to get a hold of for a week before underwriting began and a week during underwriting. Our client care specialist was MIA during those two weeks. Despite all this, Chase never apologized for closing late and refused to honor the Closing Guarantee, which is their own program that promises a refund of $2500 if they cause customers to close late. If you are not going to take responsibility for the late closing, why have a closing guarantee program in the first place? Answer: Because Chase lies just to get customers through the door and then treats them like trash afterwards.

Chase approached me by mail to refi with them.. The rate change was not super interesting.. but it was no closing costs.. I don’t have a whole lot left.. The biggest reason I went through with it was to have my mortgage payments to be super easy within my banking app.. making bill payments more streamlined. I liked my last company.. but about a half a point and more convenient access made me switch..
The signup process was agonizingly slow.. They have an online communication thing on the website so you can ask questions and check in.. but nobody monitors it.. so you have to email angrygrams and call to get your answers. I think start-to-close about took about 60 days. More than my previous two mortgages combined. Then.. just after my second payment.. about 35 or so days later.. they sell it.. Reason number 1 was convenience of ‘all within Chase’. I won’t ‘loan’ with Chase again…. I hope the 'servicer' Freddie Mac hires doesn’t suck..

Chase messed up our finances during underwriting and we ended up closing late and paying more than we expected despite having a conditional approval and being told by the Home Loan Advisor that we were more than qualified to purchase the house we bid on. To make matters even worse, they didn't even honor their Closing Guarantee of $2500 and even tried to blame it on us for not submitting documents on time even though we submitted required documents within 12 hours of requests. They were the ones who ignored our file for 2 weeks and the specialist was impossible to get a hold of and whenever she did call it sounded like we were wasting her time.

Everything went great until we submitted our purchase contract. Chase had 30 days to close. We didn't hear from anyone for an entire week. When the Client Care Specialist finally reached out to us, she gave us false and misleading information, which meant we submitted documents that didn't end up being acceptable or weren't even needed. When documents were marked "Incomplete," the Client Care Specialist never reached out to explain what we could submit instead and never returned our calls, emails, or voicemails for an entire week when we reached out to ask how we can move our file forward with the right documents.
Chase caused us to close late, made a mistake counting our funds so they increased our loan amount by $70k beyond what they had pre-approved us for, and then miscalculated our closing date and charged us for two full days of prepaid interest when the loan had not funded yet. They refused to refund us for that charge and they did not honor their Chase Closing Guarantee program. The program is not a guarantee at all because Chase can start the underwriting process a week or more after receiving the purchase contract, cause their client to close late, and then take no responsibility for it.

Laura ** was the young woman who returned my phone call. I was denied, which I had a feeling I would be without have stellar credit. No biggie. What threw me off, was that Laura asked me if I had any questions at the end of the call. Which I did. She offered me no help or information to any of the questions I needed answers to. Just because I am not approved now, does not mean I won't be in the future. I have a very good job and my score dropped after purchasing a vehicle. Laura decided I was not a buyer and did not what to give me the time of day past that. Very rude and off-putting.

Chase sucks HUGE!!! When our mortgage got sold to Chase I knew things would be bad. I was so right. They send a letter saying that things will happen on certain dates related to access and of course they don't happen. Then we call and they act as if it is our fault. Hold times are ridiculous and then every time "they" transfer us they want to waste time with more personal verification crap so they can transfer us again. Cindy and Bernard in the "online or whatever department" are unhelpful and useless. All they want to do is verify who they are talking to.... So they can do the job they originally in writing stated they would do.
We did not ask for any of this time wasting Chase is providing. Chase bought our mortgage and now wants to torture us as if we caused the issue. We just want to pay the mortgage online and on time and Chase wants to make it as difficult as possible because that is what they do. Bernard and Cindy are perfect employees to assist the Chase goal of torturing all customers that are not wealthy corporate clients. Also they keep telling us the call is being recorded for whatever reason and I hope it actually is so they can hear how useless they are. Last and not least Bernard told me I was getting my "first warning" when I told him they are morons and unhelpful. I am not sure exactly what that means "first warning" but I found it laughable so I hung up on him for being a moron.

I’d give this bank a zero if I could. I settled on my house on November 6th and although they say they sent a check for reimbursement on the 10th, I’ve received nothing. I’ve called 3-4 times and have received only a ‘we will see if we can fedex it’ response. I can barely understand anyone I speak with as well. Also, with respect to my Chase credit card- I asked for a 5k credit increase because I was putting in a retaining wall and needed money literally to use for the week. Even with having 810 credit and a substantial income they refused because of ‘too much credit available.’ Unreal. Not a partner in any aspect. With respect to my owed funds, I’m beginning to question their Integrity- Matt G.

This was one of the most horrific experiences I have ever had with a loan. I understand we are in the middle of a pandemic, but it does not excuse the neglect and incompetence experienced. There was no point in messaging because the specialist would never respond. I was given a quote for an interest rate with no points and locked in that rate. Without explanation weeks later my locked-in rate changed to one with points, without any information provided on why whatsoever. Trying to get an answer was close to impossible.
My appraisal was performed by the laziest and most incompetent appraiser ever. He didn't even get out of his car to walk the property, didn't contact me to ask about the interior of the house or for interior pictures, did not ask about upgrades (there was over $200k in upgrades since buying 3 years ago), and appraised the house 300k less than two offers I had received that year when briefly on the market. Despite disputing the "appraisal" nothing was done. And I paid $600 for this "appraisal" which my toddler could have performed.
After agreeing to another rate and locking it in, points were then again added for no rhyme or reason, since all of the information was already available. Over the phone I would hear one thing, and then when getting the actual documents would see something else entirely. Maybe that is why messages and emails were almost never responded, they likely did not want to have anything in writing. It also took over 3 months for a simple refinance with someone with a credit score over 800, despite me providing absolutely everything requested within hours of the request. Someone really needs to get fired...

Chase sent three emails to an Allstate insurance broker that I have never provided and did not authorize to contact. I reported this after the first email and the broker received additional two emails after The appraisal came out with plenty of mistakes including taking a lot size rather than property measures, using properties in different neighborhoods, lower quality (frame) smaller. Chase requested to review the appraisal and came out with the same mistakes. Chase requested to the same appraiser to perform a new appraisal (Chase only have one appraiser).
The new appraisal came out matching the contracted price. The loan manager Garett started to deal with me despite the endless problems at Chase end. I had to request an extension to the seller. Chase was unable to provide with a mortgage commitment letter after 45 days and having all the documents needed I feel that Chase has no idea about the mortgage and I dealt with a highly incompetent team at this Bank. On the opposite another bank has processed the same application in only 21 days (Chase 45 days).

I recently had Chase for my original mortgage (they purchased it from the original mortgage broker when I purchased my house). The process to have them was straight forward, put my plan on auto pay, done. The refinance is where everything fell apart. Originally reached out to submit a refinance for my $200K mortgage due to the rates being extremely low. Took about 6 days for someone to reach back out to me. When they did they walked me through the process with a phone call every so often. We worked the numbers and I would have been paying a few thousand to refinance.
I took two days to think about it and reach back out to the representative who supplied the rates. We confirmed that they would call me back at 12pm noon on a Wednesday. I waited an hour, nothing. Waiting another hour, nothing. Called the representative and received their voicemail. Waited a third hour thinking maybe they were helping a client. It was not until 7 HOURS LATER they called me back at 7pm that night. I'm very big on say what you mean and mean what you say. If you say you will call at 12pm noon, call at noon.
I decided to look elsewhere and boy am I glad I did. Went through RocketMortgage which was simply the easiest process I've ever done in my entire life. Everything is online, they have you upload the documents and once you hit submit a representative calls you within 20 minutes to explain the process. Not only did they save me the thousands I would have paid with Chase. I actually walked away with THEM PAYING ME! Received a better APR rate for my mortgage and my closing was done within a week. If you can, look elsewhere. Chase only care to get your initial business, not to help you save money. Due to a lack of being punctual, it cost them $200,000. What a shame.

I gave a good faith deposit of $500 to do a refi on my house; they declined the refi due to low income (I have an S-corp which they did not take into consideration even though they asked for and I provided all of the information). I refied my house in 2011 with similar income with similar obstacles (self-employed S-Corp have extra hoops to jump through) without a problem.
Chase claimed they had a $535 drive by appraisal that would use up the $500 deposit. The appraisal had multiple incorrect bits of information, including that my house has a fence (it does not) and the pictures were easily from Google maps (which clearly show no fence); much of the other details were from when I purchased the house (ie, covered porch) and have long since been removed. The average cost of drive by appraisals in my area is between $300-500 so they overcharged on the so-called appraisal. They were responsive to my correspondence until I pointed out the fraudulent aspect of their activity. They responded to nothing after that. At $500/good faith deposit for every person they decline, that is quite a great scam Chase has going on.

They disregarded the due diligence promised to their customers by using their customers financial records to generate unaudited fraudulent court documents both Chase and HSBC swore to the court were legally accurate --- then admitted they'd used those same illegally generated type records potentially used on my 56000 cases before that day realized it was illegal..

I am an existing Chase customer for 10 years and went through the process of doing a refinance with them. What a horrible mistake I made! Zero communication or follow up; I'd have to call/email or post on the refinance page several times to even get a response back. When they did get around to communicating back, they would ask for the same documents over and over again and when I inquired they said because someone else in underwriting wanted to see them. Going into the 4th month of this process I just cancelled the entire thing. I've done six mortgages in my life, have excellent credit, and this was the worst experience by a mile. Avoid the time, expense and hassle and go somewhere else.

We have been using Chase over the years for purchase of property/homes and refinance as they have been good to us. They offer many loan types and most recently offered a program that allows us to break our mortgage payment into two installments. We pay half on the first and the other half on the 15th, which gives us significant savings over the term of the load by reducing the interest on the loan by making two payments instead of one. It's a great benefit and glad it was available to us.

I've had my mortgage loan with them for the past 13 years and always paid on time. Sometimes I paid online, other times I paid in person at a local branch with cash. About 5 years ago they instituted this new idiotic rule for anyone and everyone to show their ID, even when depositing money or paying them. Fine, always had my ID and they took my payment. However, I lost my ID during the pandemic (had it stolen to be exact along with my whole wallet, but thats another story). So as I went to pay my monthly mortgage today, they refused my payment saying they can't deal with me without an ID. I explained my situation to them, said all DMVs were closed and even now that they're open, by the time I'd get a new ID, I'd be late on my mortgage payment.
The teller brought out his manager who was treating me like a criminal, asking a million questions before refusing to take my payment. I said to them that even if I had my ID right now, we're ALL wearing masks so there would be no way to identify me either way. They just stood there like robots, told me there was nothing they could do, gave me NO explanation as to WHY I'm required to show an ID when PAYING MY OWN MORTGAGE! It's not like I went there demanding the money. NEVER EVER do any business with CHASE! They're only nice when you play by their sheep rules.

This is my experience dealing with Chase Mortgage, I was being serviced by Home Lending Chase 3415 Vision Dr. Columbus, OH 43219. I already had a pre-approved application. I started my loan application by submitting the purchase offer which had the closing date. Chase requested several documents of the next 2-3 business days and every document was provided within 3-4 hrs of request. After repeated follow ups, several e-mail and phone calls they could not even get a basic conditional underwriting done after 3.5 weeks (4 days before closing date). They have such lax attitude that there will be no follow up for several days, indeed they will never follow up until you call them to find out about the status.
Seeing the progress I started another parallel application with a leading lender and I thank God that I did that. After I informed Chase about my 2nd application that is when they started pulling up their socks and asked for a 2 weeks extension on closing. In the meantime within 3 weeks I had the closing disclosures from my 2nd application. Thankfully I closed within 2 days of my original date with my 2nd mortgage. So the bottom line is Chase Mortgage is slow and inefficient at least the branch, please do not use them unless you have no other option or only if you have more than 90 days of closing time. Even if you do have 90 days please follow up frequently or else you will never be able to close on time.

I requested a mortgage modification a year and 2 months ago. As the process moved along there were weeks with no response from the lead at Chase. I spent $800 on title insurance, $300 on processing which was never completed. In the mean time I spent $3500 on legal fees defending myself from an affected neighbor due to the extreme delays from Chase. Now I am out $4600 and starting a refinance with another bank since Chase is incapable of finishing the work.

Another huge mortgage company that does not value it's clients and that does not respect closing deadlines in contracts. Jean ** in Jacksonville, FL is over a week past the closing deadline and the closing has still not happened. Do not recommend. It is so rude and disrespectful to the lender's clients and everyone involved in the transaction not to work efficiently and respect closing deadlines. JP Morgan please train your staff better and if they are not performing in the way they should make them accountable for their bad work ethics. If they can not even make closing deadlines maybe this is not the right job for them.

Below are some examples of points that come to mind that imprinted such feelings on us were: - The 1st addendum change. When we submitted the sales contract on April 07, 2020, the contract had a seller's concession of 3.5% and closing date of May 4th. Then, on April 10th we were informed that Chase could not honor that value and its guidelines would force us to reduce that amount to 3% if we wanted to proceed. We are first time buyers and that made us afraid of losing the house offer, so we agreed to that. The sellers, eager to help us gave a discount on the house sales price on the .5% Chase would not honor.
- The due date on Easter. The task requiring the addendum was posted in the portal with a due date of April 12th (Easter Sunday), a holiday Sunday. Which of course, with the number of players involved and the incredible small lead time was not possible to be done. We were able to deliver on the 15th. - The lack of feedback on the homeowners education program bonus. On April 15th we were contacted by Chris about some documents, on that call he informed that the house title was cleared and all the major roadblockers were done. He also asked if I had completed the homeowners education course and that could give us a bonus up to $500.00. I said no because no information or guidance where given. Only then, a link was provided to us (he sent it), I completed the course right away and sent the certification. No feedback on bonus or anything was provided after that. No mentions of the course at all.
- The lack of notice on tasks to be completed by Chase people and portal. The portal has a major flaw: it doesn't send us a notice when a new task is posted. Neither does the person who posted the task, so I had to access the portal several times a day to make sure I had no new task and that I had everything in order. That made the process cumbersome, time consuming, and prone to anxiety.
- The homeowners' insurance. Although I gave the documentation and contact of my homeowners insurance to the team, informing that I had paid the premium in full, it was necessary several reminders and request to that number be added as a paid before closing bill. Only at the final document, that amount was finally input, though the 3 months of the insurance where still collected at the closing costs. After several reminders only on the 27th more documentation was asked to prove my claim.
- The procrastination on documentation. On April 17th I had provided all the documentation required and was just waiting for the final audits and verdict. Then on April 22nd I received a call from Chris informing me that someone had made a typo (or something of sort) and that they need a new document from me to verify my SSN, which I provided right away. The team had my documentation since the 17th, still it took them 19 extra days to send me the closing documentation (something I will get to later). I was told that Chase policy changes though would not affect me because I had a lock contract was affecting the team. My question is: why internal issues should affect the customer that is not even in the stage where the changes have influence?
- The "pushed against the wall" options. Later afternoon on May 1st, a Friday, we receive a call from our agent saying that they receive the closing documents with wrong numbers. The closing was supposed to be the following Monday. Then few minutes before 5:00pm Chris and Gabi conference call me saying that they could not apply the whole seller concessions and we had 2 options lose it or risk to take longer to close and also risk our APR rate to change.
We are first buyers, with no knowledge of the process and what we knew was: 1) the team was already taking way too long for closing, 2) we wanted to close asap as the sellers asked for 60 days after closing to move and each extra day would put us farther away from the move in (yes, the team was informed of that), 3) changing the APR could risk us losing the mortgage, 4) We were given no time to ponder and give an answer. The way we saw the options was lose it the left concession or risk lose the closing or the mortgage. We were pushed against a wall.
- The lack of time for final documentation review. The bank was not able to honor the closing date, so on May 4th we had to file for a second addendum to extend the closing an extra day. The sellers knowing our situation with their concession put at risk once more by Chase, jump again in aid, reducing the sales price to reflect the "lost" money. The final documentation with the closing costs was only sent to me on May 5th at 2:37pm after my request when the closing was supposed to happen at 5:00pm the same day. I will stop here to express how disappointed, frustrated and disrespected I felt. Virtually no time was given to us to review the numbers. I not even knew how much was the amount I was supposed to get a Cashier's check with, to which I had to drop everything I was doing to get the check on time.
- The communication of our agent not being answered. Since the beginning our agent was trying to contact the team. He was the expert in the case trying to help us, but Chase team ignored him most of the time, and sent no document to him, even after I signed the document (a desperate attempt to help myself during the closing). I have no knowledge of the business, he did, he tried to help me, Chase did not allow. What that should leave me to think of Chase business?
- The delay on providing closing costs and documents. Chase had several days, weeks to close our mortgage application, I have impeccable record, financial stability, no creditors, excellent score. I was diligent fulfilling my tasks and providing the documents. Yet they took 19 days to give me the final document and did what they did during the closing.
- The unsound answer on the guaranteed closure program. I am aware of the Chase 21 guarantee closing program by emails sent to me by Chase itself. Given that Chase was already over the 21 days I asked about it and the answer that I had was: "that is for a contract without a closing date or something that needs to be done ASAP. As long as 3rd parties don’t delay the process, then we are eligible for that the program guarantee.". Well, that's not what the eligibility lines of the program say, there is no reference to contract without closing day, and are saying we don't need to close asap? Is that why they took so long to close? From our point of view, every day passed was a day further from getting in our house and a day without pay for the occupancy of the sellers, and no, we had no 3rd parties delaying the process, only Chase delayed the process.
One thing that I've just learned from Chase execute office personal, was that the home lending team concealed a very important information from us. When we asked if we could add a discount of $300 in the last addendum and that wouldn't impact anything for us. They said no, no impact would come from that. Therefore they failed to tell us that yes, by making that change we would no longer qualify to the guarantee closing, which would give us $2500 bonus. They knew they wouldn't be able to close in time, therefore we would qualify to receive the bonus, and concealing this information they push us towards something that made us lose the bonus.
Who in their rightful mind would choose a $300 discount over a $2500 bonus? The team did not get anything bad from it all but we just got robbed the chance of having the bonus. They lied when we first ask about our qualification to the program (I do have the email) and they concealed the information at the end. They did what they could so we wouldn't qualify. We were robbed the opportunity. And now the answer from that office is there's nothing we can do about because it happened. It happened because we were pushed and tricked to do so.
- The financial loss feeling and lack of transparency. The rushed documents, the constant change on the money applied from the concessions, no feedback on the bonus for the course, the delay on the closing, some concessions just disappearing on the closing documents, and the closing document being higher than was provided before, the pushed against the wall options, the 21 days guarantee program not being honored. All that, and how the whole process was carried out made us lose all the trust, made us feel under a financial loss provoked by Chase, and that it was done the way it was so we couldn't take our time to investigate the numbers, to understand the process, to question, to seek advice from our agent, to be advised by our agent. I, we, were put in a position of be nice and complacent or risk lose the house, or risk have your application rejected. We felt hostages.

They are ridiculous when it comes to assisting with mortgage modifications especially. You can have tons of proof of your past many years of payment history with them under your current financial situation (which is much different than it was when your loan was originally approved many many years prior; they just didn't know it had changed and my payments were still never late) and tons of proof that nothing about your financial situation has changed from the many years prior that you have been paying all payments on time (in your current financial situation) would prevent you from continuing to make all your payments on time, but they still say you don't qualify for a new (which is actually a modified mortgage) that would actually lower your payment which would make it even easier to make your payments.
They say that they can't be sure I'd make the payments. I have been making the payments, but this would ease my burden and make it easier to make my payments. They would not be loaning me any more money; so either way, if I couldn't make my payments (which I could), they'd end up with a foreclosure.

Finally, I had chosen it and the interest rate at the closing was 5.125%. I asked my mortgage advisor several times about my credit for not buying the mortgage discount point before the closing. He said it will be shown at the closing cost. However, it was not included in the closing cost. I asked him at the closing table. He said to resolve the same day or the next days.

While selling one home we were purchasing another home. We both have excellent credit and Chase quickly approved us.

I really felt pushed back and forth between the Lending Advisor and the "Client Care Specialist." Although the online interface was convenient, the personal touch was sorely inadequate.
My bottom line is that they missed closing because they initially wired the wrong amount to the escrow account, and they failed to honor their 50,000 credit card mile bonus. The powers that be at Chase reviewed the first guarantee and said I had too many closing addendums, but the real aggravant was that they said the bonus miles was an expired incentive. They reviewed my telephone calls with the Lending Advisor. They confirmed he had made the offer, and so they gave me a check for $500 even though I refused and said I wanted the miles that were offered. Of course, they also said they would be sending me a 1099 Misc Income form because the $500 check is taxable.

Chase explained to me if I pay the past due by November 22nd, 2019, I can reinstate my mortgage, yet when I received the statement in the mail additional attorney fees were attached in which I'm unable to keep the agreement by November 22nd, 2019. Yet if they had accepted my payment there would have been no further need to hire a attorney to gouge money from a family which is already traumatized. When a family has documented proof of prolonged illness, hospitalization and unemployment creditors should allow up to 12 months to recover from the devastating effects of prolonged illness and its ravaging effects on families. It's a disgrace.
When my husband is healed I will take my cause all the way to the supreme court. Banks do not want a bunch of REO'S so why not make the process easier for families to keep their homes no matter what the circumstances are especially when there is an obvious devastating disruption that has occurred based on prior payment history which was ON TIME for 10 years prior to my husband's hospitalization. How TRAGIC and UNFAIR. I should not have to lose my home due to my husband's hospitalization. I am trying my best. I have a four year old, I cannot lose my home nor should my mother and I be forced to file bankruptcy. I want more time to be able to get my mortgage caught up. Help!

I was the seller of a property - the buyers were using Chase. Chase missed the closing date 3 times! The buyers lost their earnest money twice due to missed closing dates. It got to the point where we severed the contract because we lost faith in Chase's ability to close. We started to take new offers. Here is the kicker. The buyers Bank with Chase and they still got poor service. Seriously. Find a better mortgage company. There are many out there.

I had a mortgage with Chase Manhattan Mortgage Corporation. In 2004, I refinanced it with them for lower interest rates. I got a letter dated May 12, 2004 from them saying the original mortgage loan was paid off in full and the lien release papers would be sent between 60 to 90 days from date of payoff. The second mortgage loan was subsequently paid off and the lien release for that one sent off in 2015. I recently applied for a HELOC and discovered that the lien for the original mortgage loan that was supposed to be released in 2004 was still open.
Chase says they sent the lien release in July of 2004, but the county recorder's office did says they did not record it because they either did not receive it or it was defective and they would have sent it back. Chase says I have to have a full title search done (at my own expense of $60 to $80) to prove to them that there is still an open lien and I have to prove to them that I paid off the loan (remember, Chase gave me both the first and second mortgage on the house) before they will search their archives to find a copy of the lien release document to send to me so I can bring it to the county recorder and have it recorded at my own expense ($46).
Why should I have to pay for a full title search to prove to Chase that there is an open lien against my property in order for them to send a copy of the lien release they claim they sent to the county? And why can't they send that copy to the county directly themselves? They made enough in interest from me over the life of two mortgage loans to cover a little research, postage, and recording fees.

I applied for a HELOC at Chase and was pre-approved. I waited three days for Chase to call. When the agent called, he asked a few questions, looked at my existing mortgage and told me that it was a home equity loan, which it is not, it was my original mortgage. Anyway, he said the only way I could be approved for a loan is if the entire mortgage was refinanced at Chase. Problem is that my original mortgage is 3.5%, and Chase quoted me at 6.4%.
I told the agent that it was hard to believe I had an equity loan, but I wasn't sure, because my mortgage has been transferred twice since the original lender. I told him that I was not interested in doubling my mortgage rate, and declined. I then called my current lender and confirmed, I did not have a home equity loan. Chase lied in an attempt to double my interest rate.

My mortgage was sold to Chase. I thought this was great since I was already a Chase customer. The escrow for property taxes was not setup correctly and there was a significant shortage. Additionally, they claimed to never receive the tax bills and I had to contact them to get the taxes paid. When interest rates dropped I decided to refinance. Chase offered a great rate and since they already held the initial loan the process was supposed to be straightforward. This was not the case. The initial loan officer sent me a loan application with inaccurate information despite our 40 minute phone conversation for him to collect the pertinent information. When I asked that he update the form he said to just sign it because he told underwriting about the updates.
It wasn’t until I stated that it is a violation of federal law to knowingly provide false information on a mortgage application and for that reason I would not sign it that he updated the application to reflect accurate information. They didn’t seem to know what information was needed once my application was conditionally approved. I had to ask them when did they need insurance and HOA information. There was closing date set that came and went and no one contacted me. I called and expressed my dissatisfaction with the process and that we were nearing the rate lock expiration. I finally closed but if purchase and additional property or decide to refinance again I will not go with Chase. The process was unorganized and took too long.

I filed against Chase Mortgage which at the time was listed under JP MORGAN CHASE and filed with the OCC and other agencies including the INDEPENDENT MORTGAGE REVIEW which is a government agency that investigated the foreclosures of the 2008 mortgage scam. At the time I had my home listed for sale AFTER my insurance company BADGER MUTUAL INSURANCE - failed to pay out my claim when the pressure relief valve on a NEW boiler failed and exploded the radiator in my upper unit apartment where I resided causing about $15,000 in damages.
I had listed my home on MLS listing and the REALTOR listed the duplex in the price range of $179,999 - and from then on I had nothing but scams involving a few police officers, housing authorities, zoning and of course the integrity of CHASE MORTGAGE and the attorney firm they hired - Gray, End and Associates -along with an attorney firm in LOs Gatos, CA SMWB (attorneys Kurt Wilson and Stuart **), COMERICA TRUST BANK - Brenda ** which actually threatened to "have the government funding discontinued to the Legal Aid Society in Jefferson County, WI - if they continued to help me stop the foreclosure" - COMERICA TRUST in Minneapolis, MN was shut down (to my understanding by the FED's) on or around May 15, 2019 - so I continued to contact the headquarters in Dallas, TX - however, the Babbs and the new CEO ignore contact from BBB, OCC, Federal Reserve must be part of this scandal as I write to them and they just keep passing the buck to each other as provided with emails to Senator Ron Johnson which were never resolved there either.
Look. The INDEPENDENT MORTGAGE REVIEW sided with me and with all the scandal, beating up, attempt at burning down my new resident with me in,, firing of police officers, manipulation of court dates, court files, and failure to pay my claim and than putting a insurance policy in plan that cost $2,200 a year instead of the $500 I was paying (billed TWICE in one billing) obviously, this was a scandal and CHASE was ordered to pay me my damages by Dec 2016. CHASE WANTED until the last minute to pay not the $179,999 due me but an insulting $8.93 on Dec 16, 2016 check #** for CHASE FCRA SETTLEMENT CLAIMS ADMINISTRATOR in PROVIDENCE, RI 02940-3390.
I attempted to contact the Independent mortgage review to dispute this unfair "settlement" since I had my property listed for $179,999- where I only owed $77,000 balance before they illegally manipulated the zoning/ health dept saying I was a bum living in their bank building without electricity, heat or running water/plumbing-and had several dogs and cats and police to temporary "CONDEMN" my house just long enough for them to barge into my house steal personal property, trash my apartment by throwing garbage (some from the outside) and clothes all over, turn off my refrigerator with food, and then go into the basement and cut my water line at the meter so I would have to pay $250 to have zoning come out and fix it if I wanted to continue living there. They FORCED me out of my lower unit apartment I was residing in which was FINE and had a separate working boiler (heat), running water, clean, and I had one dog.
It's funny that I took COMERICA TRUST BANK TO COURT in SANTA CLARA COUNTY AND Brenda ** submitted a sworn statement saying she held funds to pay for all my financial needs and then turned around and failed to provide any money - I wrote to the BBB, the CONSUMER FINANCIAL PROTECTION BUREAU (CFPB), and Helpwithmybank agencies are suppose to help the consumer - however, a no name person there just deletes all complaints about any banks sighting it 'Duplicate' or needs to go the OCC, Federal Reserve, or other agencies to "help" consumers- but, then you get a letter from all those sending it back and forth to all agencies as in the emails I sent to SENATOR RON JOHNSON.

Not only was I screwed out of my FEMA payment because some "unknown" manipulated my claim address- the summons was for West Allis claim for over $8500 for not fixing stuff by the due date of the letter- which was thrown out in court- but, the corruption is still present.

Where to begin... I purchased a home from a friend for $200k, about 50K below the market value. During the entire loan process I asked the question at least 10-15 times "If the appraisal comes back at $250K I don't have to pay PMI, correct?" Every single time the answer was "that's correct" you will own %20 at the point (which I now know is not true). Several weeks pass and the appraisal comes back at $225K which I was obviously surprised. I expressed my disappointment to two different Chase employees and decided that I wanted to dispute the appraisal so I would not have to pay PMI and because the home value was more.
BOTH employees agreed that I had a strong case for a dispute, let me remind you I made it extremely clear the reason I was doing this was to avoid PMI. BOTH employees let me write a 3 paragraph dispute which they were both on the email and one of them was actually the one to submit it on my behalf. So now the entire process is on hold while we wait to hear back from the appraisal review.
After over a week, and calling Chase several times for updates I get in touch with a third employee. I let her know what's going on and her response is "I'm not sure why you are doing that... The appraisal does not affect your PMI on the initial purchase". I lost my mind and thought for sure what she was telling me was a mistake as I was told the opposite for the first month and two other employees agreed with my dispute for PMI purposes. She discussing with one of the others and their response was "I made that clear to him the entire time that the appraisal wouldn't change his initial loan-to-value (LTV)". My first question was "If two employees made that clear to me then why did those same two agree with and submit a review on my behalf to avoid PMI...?"
If I would have know this from the start my friend and I could have easily wrote the purchase price as 250k, he could have handed me 50k at closing, and I could have immediately refinanced and avoided PMI. At this point we were a week away from the projected closing and it would have cost me around $1k to start over. This whole PMI mess was on top of several other things... They listed my attorney as the title company which still wasn't fixed even at closing. I talked to them 3 times about this, the title company called them, and the attorney contacted them. Secure messages about closing and the title were still going to my attorney even on the day of closing. The denied appraisal was posted to my account for 3 days without anyone contacting me. Also, Chase has a $1k closing guarantee (if they aren't ready in 21 days), just so happens my pointless appraisal dispute voids that.
I talked to one of the managers who agree with me that experience was terrible. He said "Wow... That is a lot to process, I would not be as calm as you right now if I experienced all of that." He asked what Chase could do to make it up to me, even though he stated "I already know that Chase has lost your trust". I asked for the closing guarantee but of course he couldn't make that happen although the appraisal dispute was because of incorrect information. I also asked for additional travel points on my Sapphire Reserve card or for them to pick up any of the closing cost such as their mandatory fees. Both request were denied. Every phone call with Chase is recorded as well so they could easily review those to hear the incorrect information I received. Bottom line, find a mortgage company that will take care of you and work for you. Not like me, where I felt like I was working for Chase.

I've never had problems with mortgage lenders or servicing companies. Unfortunately, my latest mortgage got sold to them after the close, so I didn't even get to choose them. Unfortunately:
2) They kept losing our proof of insurance -- literally provided it to them 4 different times in 3 different ways (website upload, fax, mail), but they still charged me $2k for extra flood insurance that they bought even though I'd already bought my own (and sent to them).
3) Worst customer service -- completely condescending; no access to talk to a manager when they didn't address my concern; and of course no resolution of the issue.
4) Lying -- they said they'd reached out to my insurance broker and company multiple times, yet I confirmed with both that they'd not received any notification.
So, obviously I would NEVER use Chase as a lender if I had a choice... And going forward, I'll check with the original lender to see if Chase is one of their servicing partners. Avoid my wasted hours and heartburn (and $2k).

We have had a home Mortgage with Chase for 11yrs and during this time we have always paid our mortgage payments in full and on time. We have never been late. Recently with the latest rate drop we decided to refinance our current 3.25% 20yr fixed rate and roll-in a 2nd line of credit (5%) that we had with a local bank. The combined debt = $414,000 and we wanted to refinance this amount with Chase and hopefully get another 20 yr or maybe even a 15-rate if it made sense. Well, my wife called Chase and spoke to one of their Lending Advisor's (aka, loan originators named "Nick") and told him in detail that we both had excellent credit, good paying jobs, and the current state of our finances, home value and debts.
This gentleman (Nick) ran through the current rates and programs that Chase was advertising and gave my wife an estimate of what to expect for our new mortgage. Needless to say the rate and payment amount that the Chase loan advisor came back with was very good. Now, I had also been looking at rates and could not touch the rate and payment that my wife had gotten by this man...not without paying heavy points to buy down the rate a very lot. I figured that this rate was given to current longtime customers like me that had shown financial responsibility. Plus, all of my escrows were already in Chase accounts so no new escrows would have to be given or rolled into the loan which could cause the rate and/or payment to become higher.
My wife called Nick the following day and asked him to confirm the rate and payment for the 1st mortgage and 2nd line of credit to be consolidated. Nick again ran the numbers and again came up with a fantastic rate and payment. My wife was thrilled and told me that we should both speak with Nick tonight and fill out the official credit refinance application to proceed. Not wanting to miss out on this deal we both called Nick and once more Nick confirmed the rate and payment. Nick explained that with excellent credit (740+) we could expect the rate he had quoted us 3 times now (3.125%). I told him that I was a bit leery of the rate that he had quoted, but he assured me that the final rate and payment would be in-line with his previous 3 quotes "give or take a little..."
I told him that I DID NOT want to be subjected to a "bait & switch" scenario and he again assured me that his figures were good. So we proceeded with the credit and gave him our social security numbers and he ran our credit. He told us we both had 779, 777 and the lowest score of the 3 credit bureaus 753 would be the one they would be using. He said that 753 was in the "excellent" range and would be back after he entered in all of our information and told us what programs we were eligible for.
Lo and behold, Nick came back and said that the original payment would be $1,000 higher than he had quoted us. Not, $, or $10, but $1,000 more? I yelled at Nick and wanted an immediate explanation and all he kept saying was that "Everyone in his office at Chase has been experiencing systems issues...and he was not sure how this happened.." Would I like to go ahead and finish the application? I told absolutely "NO" and I wanted to speak with his manager right away. This is loan deception and misrepresentation by a bank at its very worst. Not only that, they had done a "hard-pull" of my credit which would lower my credit score even more!!
I finally got one of Nick's managers (Mike) on the phone and he said that I must have made a mistake. I told him that all of the calls are recorded and that he should listen to all 3 conversations and what was said to my wife (twice) and both of us together by Nick the crook! He did listen to the three calls and then called me back and said it was an honest mistake on Nick's part and that training would be needed to correct the issue. **! I told him what they did was fraud and misrepresentation.
He said that only people with 800 credit scores will receive top tier rates and since mine was less, I was out of luck. Well, on Chase's website and almost all others it says that credit scores of 740+ is considered "EXCELLENT." Apparently they do not believe in Truth in advertising. This is just appalling and I'm a long time customer. Not after this slap in the face. As soon as I get rid of Chase the better. People, DO NOT do business with Chase or JP Morgan Chase... You have been forewarned.

We refinanced our home in 2003 and Chase bought our mortgage on the market. For years we paid extra to the principal, finally lowering our balance on a 30 year mortgage by 59 months. One day we received an offer for a "recast" of our mortgage. This is not a refinance but lowers your payments. What they hope is that you will make the lower payment and then they can recoup the interest that otherwise was paid off earlier.
There are no fees associated with their recast. We received on paper a document from Alexis at Chase stating what our new payment would be and if we continued to make the old payment, we could pay off the house sooner. That was our goal in the first place, lowering the balance and paying it off faster to be mortgage free in our senior golden years.
Well, a few months later I was looking at their online mortgage amortizing tool and saw that it had jumped forward a month for the final payoff date. Thought it was odd so contacted Chase. Found out that Alexis hadn't been accurate, perhaps intentionally to get us on this recast and our payoff date didn't change from prior to the recast. We had hoped to cut out another two years off the mortgage.
Also, the payoff date moved forward a few months from July to September. So now we have to pay much more each month if we wanted to cut out that extra two years we thought we had gained by the recast. Also, watch out for that mortgage amortizing tool on their website. It's clearly skewed in some way and will give you the wrong numbers. I would get a lawyer but think we will just sell the house in a few years and buy a home for cash.

Our Mortgage has been with Chase for the last few years and we are more than frustrated with the bank's clear reluctance to apply funds correctly as we work to pay down the principal balance on our mortgage. We have sent in multiple extra payments that we have ear-marked as principal-only payments and yet Chase keeps applying them as though they are regular payments, taking big chunks of interest out. This happens even though we are fully current on our regular mortgage payments and even though we notify them in writing each time we send in an extra payment to apply it to principal.
I've talked to so many supervisors and each time I call they will reverse it/fix it, and they always promise it won't happen again - and then it does. I have called so many times I have now been given the direct number for supervisor Katrina and I've been promised my account is now coded to prevent this happening and yet it continue to happen. So, bottom line - BEWARE, and if you are trying to pay down your mortgage and sending in extra payments, make sure you always check to see if they are applying your funds correctly.

We made our regular mortgage payment, and I added another full payment to go toward our "principal" but it was simply applied toward the overall loan. And then, for some reason, there is a refund that was made on March the 8 as well - for over a $1000.00?

I had a hard time with Chase Home Mortgage. Before Escrow every thing looks so good and once the process started, it really sucks with hell lot of documents. The realtor keeps on promising that everything will be good, but I am not sure what document they really need to care and what not. And at the end moment, they denied my loan. Just a week before the Escrow ends I have applied a different bank and it approved within 3 days. Chase told me that I have property out of USA and you switched your job 2 times in a year. Even after all the written proof But they said they canceled it because I had a returned check before the repayment plan started and they did not realize.
I don’t think they can legally cancel after agreeing to the payment plan. I feel this is unfair business practice and wrongful foreclosure when they agreed to the payment plan and my payment cleared. I feel this is unethical of Chase. This is one of the worst nightmares for the first time homeowner. I will never would recommend going chase.

This is a very honest and un-biased review. I love Chase banking and have been a customer of their services for over a decade. I was the biggest advocate for banking with Chase. Started the mortgage process this past month. I made well over 6 figures, have a great credit score, assets, proof of income... everything you need to get a mortgage.
Our loan officer knew that this was our first time purchasing a home and we had several questions. She would ask me to call her and when I called her, she would make fun of me for calling so quickly. She told me I could get the house with 3.5% down, that turned into 5%, then 10%. Gave me ZERO guidance as to what my options were in order to get more money down. Never communicated anything with me. Forgot what my income was. Forgot the amount of the loan and the purchase agreement. Couldn't figure out any options to bring to the table if and when you hit a bump in the road. I could tell this was all about her and her only. I felt so uncomfortable with a pit in my stomach for weeks. To think we would have lost our real estate deposit and upfront fees if we waited on Chase is terrifying and a lot to lose for a first time home buyer.
The mortgage process is not supposed to be a dreadful experience if you have your ducks in a row and have great income, proof, credit and are quick with your responses to LO's. We did everything right and she was the absolute worst rushing us off the phone every time we had a question. Even on email she shared brevity and little to no customer service. I was so shocked since I love Chase Banking - but seriously, DO NOT DO YOUR MORTGAGE WITH Chase.
I made a quick decision to move forward with another lender and I have to say, I am blown away at the difference. Outstanding customer service - excited to see the emails and to do's come through from him - he thinks of 10 options before I have questions and sits on the phone with me for awhile until I feel comfortable. Answers my texts, answers my emails and returns my calls in the same day. He is OUTSTANDING. Even received lower interest rate, lower PMI, lower closing costs, lower mortgage payment... the list goes on.
Do yourself a favor and don't go with Chase for a mortgage. Again - this is a real review and very honest. Disappointing to say the least. When I told the LO at Chase that I was going in another direction, her response was, "I wish I had not spent hours working on your application until 830pm last night." I responded that I couldn't risk the earnest money fall out, numerous runs on credit and wasting others time and money to not close or feel confident to close. She responded, "Have a good one." I think that says it all.

I always paid cash for things but needed to est. credit so took out Chase card for $1200. When I mailed my first payment which was a check printed by my credit union, they rejected it saying my address wasn't 'printed' on it as my account was just opened and I do hospice work so I don't have my own address for long--one of the considerations before you do work caring for elderly, disabled & children: banks really take advantage of you.
Even though I'd paid $200 monthly for at least four months (it was nearly paid off) they charged me nearly $1,000 for a late fee they caused by 'losing' my second corrected check. So, twice, they refused my payments so they could make them late. I didn't know until a year later that what they did was illegal, but there is no legal help for the poor as we need at least $5,000 just to be heard by an attorney. I did lodge complaint with DA & nothing happened. Chase Banks wins. I hope Jamie Dimon enjoys the breakfast he bought with it because even $1,000 is the difference between having a home for a couple months or being on the streets for someone like me.

Good afternoon. Me and my husband bought our home in 2012 and our mortgage was perfect. Everything was paid on time and the actual mortgage company we was late. They was there calling me or my husband to make sure and every mortgage company bought our mortgage was very good and we was always on time. Unfortunately in 2017/2018 Chase Mortgage bought my mortgage. In the beginning we was very excited because it was our bank but on 04/2018 my husband have a heart attack and in 07/04 he went under heart surgery. Everything went well but of course my family was little under stress.
Unfortunately we paid the 07 payment late more the 30 days. That meant my credit report have 30 days late payment but my question is why Chase Bank don’t call me/contact me. I am on the contract too! The manager Erika from Chase Bank on my question why she just answered to me they don’t have my phone number and by Law they need call only the primary on contract. I told the lady which she keep repeating, "Your payment was late!!" I got that but if Chase Bank call me and only my husband which he was confused and worried about his heart I was able to make sure they will received sooner the payment and not that late.
I guess Chase Bank like to lose money and time on 1.500 instead make one more phone call. When I signed the contract for the mortgage I give my phone number. I guess Chase Mortgage/Bank like lose their more money and time with lazy people. For sure after this I will make sure to cancel everything we have with Chase Bank. Banking account etc etc etc. We paid all the other rates and thank you. Good I sold my house which means no more Chase Bank. Run from Chase.

I have had several mortgageS with Chase Bank and prior to this mortgage they WERE great. StartING day 1 they have messed this mortgage up. 1. My insurance was paid up for the year. Next thing I get a check back from insurance company for a refund because Chase told them to send it back, then I get a letter from Chase saying I don't have insurance on house. They also got involved with what I was paying and my insurance increased over 50 dollars a year! I REQUESTED THAT THEY STAY OUT MY INSURANCE BUSINESS IGNORED BY CHASE.
The people in the escrow department can't seem to add and subtract. Every year I get a nastygram from them saying I am underpaying escrow and they are increasing by $30 to $40 month. This year they increased my escrow $$16.00 per month or 168.00 per year. My taxes when up 35.00 and my insurance when up $30.00 per year. Between the accounts the increase was $65.00. Why the huge difference? This has happened every year that I've had this mortgage. What is the problem with this bank? Pretty simple take my taxes $800.00 per year and 721 add them together and divide by 12 you get escrow payment.
Regarding the yearly nastygram they are in control of the escrow account. WHY can't they get it right. With all the issues with the escrow I have requested to pay the taxes insurance my self. They refuse. I WANT TO NOTE IN 10 YEARS WITH CHASE I HAVE BEEN LATE ONCE with there payment. When I paid my taxes they were always paid on time same with my insurance. They suck. Stay away.

My Mortgage was just sold to Chase. I received a letter from Chase welcoming me to Chase.

This morning I received a letter from Chase stating "that as per my request" they were terminating Automatic Payments against my Account. I never made the request. It seems that unless the payments were coming out or debited against a Chase Bank to begin with you have to go through the process of filling out additional paperwork.
The 4 Customer Representatives I spoke to on the phone this morning admitted the letters I received were form letters and the information was incorrect. I was then told I could not get an email automated bank debit form sent to me. It would have to be faxed or mailed. Who has a Fax Machine today at home? This is 2018. Not 1988? I was also reminded the full payment was due the 1st of the month. The short time (3 weeks) that I have had with Chase indicate to me there are issues as far being able to Trust them in what you are told. Even when they give it to you in writing?

I tried to give zero stars but it's not an option. I purchased a home for my elderly mother to live in who is on permanent disability. Because of her sickness many upgrades needed to be made to the home. I made a loan with the smallest down-payment possible so I could conserve cash to make improvements. After spending tens of thousands of dollars fixing up the property, I had it appraised through Chase and requested that the mortgage insurance be canceled. My appraisal came in with a high value, as expected because of the improvements and they declined my request, stating that it was not their policy to remove mortgage insurance until my loan reached a level of 75% of the home value.
My original loan contract says 80%, they ignored that and refused. This is over $140 per month. I followed the terms and rules laid out in my loan and they trumped it because they know I don't have the resources to fight them. What an awful way to conduct business, they're the poster of corporate greed and spitting on the little guy.

(Set to Autopay.) This same thing has happened with Chase many times over the years of working with them.
Other times in the past, we mailed a check with "Principal Only" written on the check, and they applied it to our next 3 monthly payments instead. This is why we decided to do additional principal payments online... But NOPE, that is not a sure thing either. I saw on other reviews here, even calling and making a principal only payment on the phone is not reliable. They still applied it to the next monthly payment.

Stay clear of Chase Mortgage. My father passed away in 2009. There was a probate hearing in 2010 at which time the home was given to me. I called Chase, numerous times to get the loan transferred to me and they told me that they do not recognize the court order because they were not there. The court gave them three months to appear and they did not show. That is why it was awarded to me. I attempted to get the loan in my name by working with Chase. Each time they sent me paperwork, I completed and sent back, they would lose them, a form was sent in the wrong format, or they would say they never received them. It took me three years before a representative got me on the loan as a contact person just so they would talk to me about the loan details.
Once she helped with that I asked to continue to get the loan in my name and she said that it was someone else area not hers. When I attempted to find out who to talk to, no one knew who I needed, yet they would ask me time and time again if I wanted the home and would be keeping it. I had been making the monthly payments since 2010. After four years they change the loan from my father's name to his estate (which closed four years earlier). After runaround after runaround I was advised to get a loan through someone else and get away from Chase.
This year I did just that. Now they sent me the balance of the escrow in the name of my father's estate. They are telling me that they cannot send the check in my name because I never assumed the loan. They are telling me to get my money, I have to go through the process of assuming a loan that no longer exists, so they can put it in my name, then they can cut me the check correctly. Now I am out $3400 of my escrow, plus seven years of tax claims because of their more than very bad customer service. The funny part is back in 2012 Chase held a meeting stating that its goal was to have #1 customer service rating. Here we are in 2018 and their customer service is still ZERO!!!

I pay my mortgage with recurring automatic payments from online banking. I have had a Chase mortgage for 10 years and never late or missed a payment. I moved and my notices were late in coming to me and Chase had increased my mortgage payment from $1840 to $1906 - $68 due to an increase in escrow collected beginning January 1, 2018. My payment issued prior to the due date was $1840 as I didn't realize it had increased. Chase applied the ENTIRE $1840 to the mortgage principal - something they should only do if instructed to do so. Then they charged me a late fee.
I paid two payments in February hoping to "catch" up and not understanding what happened to my payment. I finally sorted out the mess with a Chase banker in late March and at that time was over 2 months ahead in my mortgage payments. I was told I was good through July. Well, June was not covered after all and by the time I realized it, I paid for June on July 16, July on July 17 and August on July 26. Because Chase has reported me late on my mortgage, my credit score is below what will give me a decent mortgage rate. They want to interpret the problem of just looking at the fact that my June payment was late - period, not the whole mess of calls, and reversals and all the activity between when they misapplied my mortgage payment to when I paid 3 mortgage payments in one month.
I spent 2 half days on the phone (away from work!) trying to straighten out things in March. They don't care about my trouble, they just want to look at the late payment - not the fact that they caused the issue that snowballed into a big mess by misapplying my mortgage payment. They are supposed to call me in 2 days after the SECOND request for them to look into the issue.
I have sent them a detailed account reconciliation that I painstakingly did - which took me a lot of time as I had to figure out what they were doing in my account and look up my old bank statements to verify the payments I made to them were accurately applied to my account. Oh - and Chase wants to see if they can prequalify me for a new mortgage - but won't remove the late charge (yet - I plan to keep fighting this!). And, not that it is related, but I just dumped $50K with them closing our business account at another bank and reopening at Chase. But it stings.

This was not my first home loan and it went terrible compared to the others. The entire process was bad. There was the typical scrambling on their part as they requested several times the week before the closing date for additional documents and information that they didn't realize they needed; I expected this and was very fast in getting those documents over to them.
Then the week of my Thursday closing, I hear from the Chase rep on Monday and then not again until Wednesday evening saying they needed more documents and the closing would need to be pushed to Friday. I was given the green light Thursday afternoon for a Friday morning closing and the closing went as expected. I walk out of the attorney's office thinking I just purchased the place. About an hour later, I get a call from the closing attorney saying that Chase would not release the funds.
Every step of the way, from the initial conversation I had with the rep to the final underwriter asking me questions, I told the individual that I have a loan on a rental property and provided several documents throughout the process showing insurance, renters contract and property management companies contract. The reason that the funds weren't released is because the particular type of loan was contingent on me only having one property. The one the loan was for.
I immediately call every number I can find, Managers, Supervisors etc. and I am only communicated back to via email from the rep that made the mistake. The seller had a strict closing date but was willing to work with us a little. She gave us 4 business days to try and get it right. I explained this to the Chase rep who seemed to care very little as the process basically had to start over with a different loan type. As I called the rep, his manager and any other number that I had while trying to get updates, my calls were not returned and instead, I received a vague email with no helpful information. The team did not have any sense of urgency and did not apologize for their mistake, but instead acted as if I had tried to deceive them and it were my fault. The seller has since accepted another offer as Chase set around twiddling their thumbs and I lost my dream place.

I would use any bank other than Chase. We had fraud by DirecTV on our account for 6 mo. that we were unaware of and did not recognize. We never received a single bill from them either, but they got our debit card from ATT Wireless which we have an account with. Due to severe tragic family circumstances, we didn't notice the charges until August. I filed a claim for the two charges in July and August because they were within the 60 day period of filing a claim. They refused to dispute the charges because the first fraudulent charge by them was five months earlier outside of the 60 day period, and judged us for not having noticed them. They would not listen to reason, would not listen to our explanations. The first three were $10 each and blended with our other minor expenditures.
We noticed when it raised to $35 and $40 within the 60 day period, and that was the first month that the circumstances in our life allowed us the time to get back to the bills and the minutia of all the medical bills and statements, financial account statements, etc. We understood the ones outside of the 60 day period, but we absolutely don't approve of the policy they used to not dispute our fraudulent charges. Don't do business with any bank that can't be personable and treat customers on a case by case basis. Don't do business with any bank that doesn't care if you have a fraudulent charge just three weeks prior, and judges you for not telling them sooner. There is no reason on this earth you could give them that they will agree is understandable, and our reasons absolutely were.
Not to mention that they committed fraud themselves with our mortgage five years ago when we were doing the modification. And they got away with it because we couldn't afford an attorney to fight them. We could only afford one that helped get the modification done. Chase kept throwing our application it into a back room and let the 60 day filing periods run out four different times so that we had to keep reapplying, all while they tried to force us into foreclosure and encourage us to stop making payments and go into default so that they really "could" help us finally. We had never missed a payment and had perfect credit so we refused. Obama meant for that process to help families like us who never were in default but had imminent default due to the fraudulent mortgages that were written, especially those without consent who had proof like us!
Chase did not follow Obama's Modification guidelines and lied about the value of our home, which would have resulted in them lowering the principal first, thus lowering our amount owed and our payment. This kept the balance too high and the payment too high. We had evidence of fraud and how they misled us into a bridge-loan mortgage that we didn't agree to stay in after our previous home sold, and they ignored us as we tried several times to refinance it like they promised. They deceived us with our closing documents into believing that the first payment would be paid by autopay because of the timing and that our first payment wasn't due until nine weeks later. Autopay took 4-6 weeks to set up. The signature page was at the top of the next page.
Then they fraudulently switched out that document (our R.E. attorney saw the original too,) and replaced it with a penalty for prepaying before one year agreement that would prevent us from refinancing until after one year! That meant that the bank never received the document applying for autopay. Chase knew we would default on that first payment, and one default on a perfect credit score drops it significantly. We were told that they did this to protect us from refinancing because we wouldn't qualify for the low interest rate we had set up.
They also knew that reverse amortization would accrue since we couldn't afford the payment when interest rates kept increasing. That increased our mortgage by $24,000. We couldn't afford any attorney to actually fight them even though we had proof of everything, and Chase wouldn't listen to us or look at our proof, instead shutting us down and not returning calls, and local banks telling us they couldn't do anything we had to call corporate. Because we were above poverty level, we couldn't get pro-bono representation either. Luckily the market dropped and so did interest rates and we could afford the full 30-yr payment for the next five years, stopping the reverse amortization bleeding.
After the market crashed, our home was only worth about $375,000 compared to all the other fairly comparable nearby homes with its same specifications. That was $125,000 lower than purchase price. They fraudulently used the sale price of homes that were twice the size of ours, and luxurious unlike ours, just because they were also nearby. Our attorney who was helping us get the modification done wouldn't fight them over it because he just wanted to close the case and get it done rather than the expensive process of fighting them. Another notch in his belt/win record. Chase lied earlier in court when they purposefully increased our escrow by over $1500 without telling us trying to push us into foreclosure, and the window to dispute passed before the first statement showing this was received.
Our mortgage payment went from $2100 to $3600 with all their "underages" of the escrow balance they claimed existed but didn't. We paid our Real Estate taxes ourselves and never had an escrow. So, we were double paying taxes! We couldn't afford that, and we did NOT want an escrow with them! The county judge at that time was in the Bank's pockets, focusing on shutting down the ridiculous lawsuits by people trying to get a windfall for a decision of gambling with a dangerous mortgage they knowingly made. We were different, and not asking for a windfall at all, only asking Chase to return our escrow money and close the escrow account!
Our attorney filed for damages saying it would let the bank know we were serious, but we only wanted our escrow money, and we would have been happy. He said he would let them know that once they were seriously there. We had proof with receipts that we already paid the taxes before they did without our knowledge and they didn't disclose that. The judge ignored all our paperwork and the entire courtroom was aghast. You could hear the disbelieving breaths being taken in at her audacity and Chase's deceit. Our attorney for the modification wouldn't fight that either, saying that with the situation by the big banks, he would lose to them and it would cost him business if he had so many losses on his record, and if he got on the wrong side of a judge he would have problems winning other cases. The attorneys that could and would fight them were too expensive for families like ours.
Chase lied, and hurt us. They have shown they are robots and don't care about their customers, and they are greedy beyond measure. Trust me, when it counts they will not care about you; when they make mistakes they will not care about you. It's better to do business with a hometown bank even if they have higher loan interest. In the long run? You'll lose less money, and be treated with dignity.

After having a loan with Chase Mortgage for 6 years with 0 late payments, I went through a divorce. The ex did not pay the very last payment right before settlement when we sold the house. Chase reported it to the credit bureau. This caused about a 150 point drop in my credit from 800 to 650. I asked for a courtesy fix on it because I had been a good customer for 6 years. The answer was they did not do courtesy credit fixes. The guy on the phone said in 17 years working there he had never seen one granted. I think they can do better. Especially seeing the circumstances and pattern of timely payments to them. I went to another lender when I bought my next house specifically because of their ignorance.

The Chase loan experience was awful and very stressful. I’ve gotten 6 loans before from other banks (credit unions, local lenders, and national lenders). This was the worst, not to be attempted again. They bait you with incentives (points on my Chase Sapphire card was the lure) and drag you thru at least twice the paperwork and scrutiny of any other bank. The agents are centralized somewhere with no knowledge of the local market. They advertise rates they ultimately can’t fulfill. And they collect fees along the way that get you increasingly vested in the process. It is without question not worth your time. Buying a home will likely involve its own taxes — don’t add to that.

There should be far less red tape/paperwork, and the terms should be readable, i.e., in common English. Home loans should be available to individuals of ALL income levels.

Violated! That's how you feel after all of the data points and information required by the overzealous underwriters at Chase Mortgage. Good credit? Good job? Documented history of business with Chase? None of that matters. They want to nit-pick every penny you have ever spent. It's sad, because the lending agents seem to feel my pain. I doubt I will see approval from the underwriters (After pre-approval and conditional approval) but I will NEVER use Chase again for a mortgage. If they buy your mortgage after the fact, you are ok though. Hopefully I will get my deposits and earnest money back. If not, then it's off to court.

I recently had flood damage at my home where Chase held the mortgage. My insurance company issued the initial check to me which Chase endorsed and the funds were used to pay the contractor for some of the work. After living in a motel for some 6 weeks we were getting ready to move back into our home and my insurance company issued another check for the moving expense. When this was taken to my local Chase bank they called the Chase claim department and I was advised that since the total of the two checks exceeded a certain amount, they would not endorse the check until there was an inspection since the two checks exceeded the limit by $100.
I advised the supervisor of the situation and the need to have funds to pay the movers who were coming in three days but she did not care. She insisted that the property be inspected before they would endorse the check but that would take days I did not have. She could not care less. Chase Mortgage did not care that I had never been late with a payment over some 10 plus years and would do nothing to help me. I will never do business again with Chase and would strongly suggest no one else do so. They are a typical big company that does not care about their customers.

My mortgage was taken over by Chase around 2006. At that time, CHASE promised that all original agreements from the previous lender would be kept. There would be no changes. After a few years I lost employment and took advantage of HARP. I carefully reviewed every document that I signed. I still have them. None of the terms having to do with insurance or PMI changed. The only changes were for interest rate and payment schedule. Unfortunately, my loan was going from about 24 years to 40! It was do it or lose it.
Per the original loan, my PMI insurance was to stop in 2015. I could request it Jan 1, 2015 when it was to reach 80% value, or it would AUTOMATICALLY stop Dec. 1, 2015. I tried both. But the Jan. date required a home inspection, so I gave up and waited for December. It never happened. I made multiple frustrating calls to no avail. They were requiring a home inspection at my expense to make proof of value. But the loan documents only stated proof was needed for the earlier date. It didn't matter what I said, or who I talked to, the agreement would not be honored. AND, according to their computer info, that secondary date wasn't to happen until 2017. What?? When where did that come from? They certainly didn't discuss any changes with me! It didn't matter that I had proof otherwise.
CHASE continued to illegally charge me for PMI insurance all the way through the year 2017! It's like I constantly have to watch them, because they will try to slip stuff by. Recently they increased my monthly payment without warning, and the automatic withdrawal overdrew my account. We figured it out, but they should have communicated any changes like that.
Now I am realizing that the terms of my loan are not calculated in the standard way a loan is calculated. If I round UP to the nearest thousand owed, and increase the interest rate to 5%, and round UP Chase's listed escrow for my loan to the nearest $100, and even decrease my loan term down to only 30 years, I STILL get a loan payment cheaper than CHASE! For $119 of principal, I'm paying $200 interest. How's that going to work? Something smells really rank!!! i.e., DON'T USE CHASE UNLESS YOU ABSOLUTELY HAVE TO! They don't follow the rules, are unapproachable, and are obviously above the law!

My loan was taken over by Chase a few years back. I was looking to refi to drop my years to 15 and possibly roll a small HELOC in. Chase contacted me when I was working with another institution so I figured I'd see what they could do since they held my current loan. Chase said my home value and HELOC would be sufficient, I wouldn't need an appraisal since they held my loan and I'd been paying for so long.
After submitting tons of documents, signing paperwork, a $500 hold fee (to be reapplied upon closing) my phone and email started to get inundated with appraisal notices. I kept inquiring with Chase and was told they were looking into it. After a week and many complaints from me, Chase started to inform me I needed an appraisal. I insisted they reevaluate their "recorded" calls as that was not in my original agreement. Chase insists that their member never agreed with me, just speculated so an appraisal is necessary. I am not authorized to hear the calls. Chase misleads their customers.

Unless the loan officer is recommended by your friends or family. Do not risk going in and get a random loan officer. Go with a local bank if it's possible as they do things faster because one person or a team is responsible for your case. When it comes to the corporate world, it seems like no one knows or everyone refuses their responsibility.
My journey of obtaining the mortgage was a nightmare. I lost sleep over the entire process because of delays. The Seller was angry, threatened to cancel, and wasn't compromising. The loan officer was nowhere to be found and unresponsive. The loan officer was incompetence, unavailable, and irresponsible. So I tried to submit the documents myself on ** but it is wacky and unreliable, rather than fastening the process it causes more delays. I have submitted the documents many times but it keeps popping up the To-do-List and no specific instruction is left on what revision is needed. But when the loan officer submitted it (the same paper), it got reviewed correctly.
Not only they're not proactive but they're incompetence. The Underwriting team keeps asking the documents that have already been handed to the Loan Officer and Loan Processor. When I was running out of time, I had to hunt down the Manager, who came to the rescue. We barely made it in time. However, I had to release the Loan Contingency before the final approval and that was a huge risk to take but I did not want to lose the house. Luckily everything worked out, but please, please do not go over to Chase unless you know that the Loan Officer is going to do his/her job.

Jumbo loan closed in 29 days. Chase just funded my purchase of a mid 1M+ home in Southern California. I contacted Chase through their online mortgage page on May 1st 2018. Dennis ** from the Arizona branch called me and helped me finished my loan application on May 2nd. At the time, I was working with another local mortgage broker, but their fees and rates were too high. Originally, I plan to put 20% down, but Denis convinced me to put down 25% for an easier approval.
After I submitted all the financial documents, I received a conditional approval on May 9th. There were about 10-12 conditions that I need to meet in order to get the full approval, which took the longest time. One of the conditions was to prove that I've made the 25% downpayment to the escrow. Apparently, the underwriter mistakenly thought the 25% was the earnest money deposit. Nobody should send in downpayment before the loan is fully approved, so I refused to meet this condition. Luckily, Kristi the loan processor was able to correct the underwriter's error and remove this condition. This process took two weeks. I took care of other conditions within hours.
I received the full approval on May 23rd. On the escrow signing day, to my surprise, Chase gave me additional $2500 because the actual closing cost is much more than their estimated cost. Well, Thank you Chase! (The escrow and title fee are fixed no matter what lender I choose). So here are a few things I learned and some advices. 1) Chase loan officer, processor are very professional and responsive. The turn around time is 0-4 hours. 2) Chase underwriter is slow, sloppy and ask for ridiculous conditions. The turnaround time is 8-48 hours. Be ready to explain something that you believe has nothing to do with the loan. 3) Chase online document server is buggy. I had to upload my prove of insurance 3 times. The best way is to email it to the loan officer. 4) Chase has the best jumbo loan rates. 5) If you stay on top of things, Chase can fund your loan in 30 days.

The house has never been worth that amount and considering the fact that it was built in 1954 with outdated fixtures and bad plumbing and structural damage, Chase should have said or done something considering they knew just like I knew the value of the house and my loan was PITI.

From the beginning until the end of the process, there has been chaos, miscommunications and mistakes done by Chase. There wasn't a single person responsible for the entire process at Chase and I think this was the source of most of the issues we've experienced. Mortgage application process: I'm not sure how many times our application forms had to be filled out and signed using mymortgage.chase.com and emails, but there were always documents missing that weren't uploaded or sent to us. We did countless back and forth during 10 days. Then Chase used the wrong State name (Delaware instead of New York) in our application file, we had to file a new application package again. My wife and I had to come in person to a local branch in Brooklyn as we wanted to sign all the papers in person and make sure that nothing was missing this time. At the closing, Chase asked me to sign many of the same documents all over again.
Interest rate: when the rates were around 4.10% we were advised by Chase to wait and not lock right away. The rates went up and we locked at around 4.375% when we were advised by Chase to lock. It took over 2 months between the time we provided Chase with a signed contract on January 17th and our closing on March 22nd. Chase didn't provide a "clear to close" until the very end. There was a lot of confusion as the Chase mortgage bankers would confirm that there was a "clear to close", but Chase's attorney would say the opposite.
My attorney and I insisted that Chase had the wrong real estate taxes for the property, and that monthly escrow amount was therefore inflated. This was reported several times to our Chase mortgage bankers and Chase's attorney, but never corrected in the documents. At the closing I ended up signing final documents that will lead to higher than needed escrow payments. Chase didn't provide the final numbers for the closing until the day before the closing.
The closing: Chase hadn't taken care of the wire transfer to pay the seller. We waited for about 2 hours for this wire to go through. Then we waited for funding approval. No one at Chase was able to give a verbal funding approval. We were about to leave and postpone or cancel the closing, as my attorney had to pick up her kids at school and then was going on vacation. We ended getting the funding approval at the last minute. You can imagine that all parties (buyer & seller side) were completely stressed out, nervous and horrified because of this situation. I can assure you that the real estate agents and attorneys involved will never ever want to work on a closing that involves Chase again. Applying for a mortgage with Chase was a very stressful experience, a waste of time and probably money, as I don't think we've got the best rate.

This is a formal complaint regarding my current situation with Chase Mortgage Division. As the seller I have been treated horrible, and after 67 days our home still has not closed and we still have no closing date. Working with Chase Mortgage has been a nightmare. Our pre-qualified buyer and I decided to use Chase Mortgage Banking since we’re both Chase customers. However, if we had known in advance of the incompetence, inexperience, lack of professionalism and continuous resubmission of documents, we would not have used Chase to close my home. Every time I tried to personally get information from the lender he said I had to ask the buyer, because he couldn’t give me information for privacy reasons. Since when can’t a lender give the Seller information regarding the buyer’s documents status and the closing updates on Seller’s home?
History: I put my home on the market December 8, 2017. The buyer and I signed the contract December 30, 2017. January 2, 2018 Rex ** of Chase Mortgage received our contract and said everything looked great and we should be able to close in 35 days or by February 9, 2018. The appraiser came on January 12, 2018 and we renegotiated the price based on the appraiser’s low estimate (that is another complaint), with an addendum to our contract. The new addendum was signed and submitted to Chase on January 21, 2018. By the way, per the original contract the approval letter should have been submitted within 5 business days. That didn’t happen. Our buyer received her approval letter via mail on February 23, 2018.
Complaint: On February 6, 2018 when I complained to Rex **, Home Lending Advisor about the lack of communication on updates, changes, documents, closing and response to questions asked, he said not to speak with him and to solely communicate with our “first time” home buyer for information and feedback in the future. Chase lending has not been responsive to me, the buyer or the Attorney’s office with updates or the closing status. After 67 days, no one knows what is going on. Is this how Chase Mortgage trains their lending staff to treat “valued” mortgage customers, or is this treatment reserved for ** and Hispanics?
After selling three homes, Chase lending has been the absolute worst experience. The treatment throughout this process is unacceptable. Every promise Chase Mortgage has made has been broken, without apology. This is what I want to happen, immediately. After 67 days with no closing date scheduled or insight, I want to know our exact closing date today. I want Chase lending to communicate with me and the buyer directly and have us close as soon as possible, without any more excuses and needless request.

I was very unhappy with the Chase's practice during refinancing process in October-December 2017. Chase charges a "good faith" charge of $500 for doing absolutely nothing, making you think that this charge will be applied to closing costs. This charge binds the customer to Chase and discourages the customer to look for better deals. This charge also discourages Chase Bank from getting you the better deal. Chase gets their $500 and if you don't go with them, they keep the money. Chase, however, will match any better rates that you are free to shop for, of course, spending your time and the time of another lender. They will not BEAT the better rate, they will match it.
I feel like a long term customer of Chase was not rewarded for my loyalty, but rather was taken advantage of. So, I did not let Chase refinance my mortgage and had them have my $500. Chase Bank obviously needs this money more, than I, a widow, living off my husband's pension fund. (They make you sign Application Disclosure making $500 unrefundable.) So I went with another bank that DOES NOT CHARGE ANY "GOOD FAITH" FEES, but rather just gives its customer the best deal. I will make sure all my friends and family are aware of those practices and think twice before refinancing with Chase.

The worst example of professionalism I have ever seen with a company. CHASE Mortgage could care a less about customer satisfaction. They treat you as a number and that's it!!! Please please do not go through them!! There has to be better alternatives out there. I have already had my credit pulled by CHASE and have been waiting over a month for appraisal. Finding out that one was never ordered from their independent appraisal company. Even though I have them 500 to schedule one. Again bad business on Chase part. And dealing with a horrible appraisal company. So while I have been waiting for 3 weeks for a phone call from an appraisal that was never going to happen nobody knew this???

Chase issued two mortgages on our house in 2010 and 2017. In both instances the title on the deed was in his deceased wife's name. My husband died and I am unable to get a clear title to the house. Now I have to go through probate, and the courts are backed up from six to eight months.

We refinanced our house thru Chase recently. It was a nightmare from the start. The closing team kept messing up our paperwork and the overall numbers we owed and what we were getting back fluctuated a lot. The mortgage specialist would tell us one thing and the closing team would tell us another. I kept catching errors in the paperwork that they had to correct. Finally they told us they had them done correctly per what we discussed and we went to closing. At closing we signed a paper saying we wanted our old escrow money returned to us and our closer said we would have it within 3 weeks - our bank information and everything were on the form we signed as well. When we didn’t get the escrow back, I checked on it and was told that the closing team made a mistake and put that money towards the loan instead.
How can this happen when we were very clear what we wanted and our mortgage specialist knew and our closing specialist knew we wanted that escrow back? We were counting on that escrow for the rest of our daughter's tuition for spring semester. Also, all the way up until closing we were told that our first payment would be due in February. At closing they told us it was due Jan. 1. When I questioned it they said it was because we didn’t close on our original date but we didn’t close on the original date because of errors by Chase that had to be corrected and no one told us that the payment date would change when the closing date changed even though both dates were in the same month. Very frustrating experience and we will NOT be using Chase for anything ever. Do not recommend them at all for mortgages or refinances after our experience.

Chase has sent us 6 debt collection letters in 2017 even though our mortgage has never been late or in default. We recently found out that our prior homeowner's insurance provider was a bank client of JPMorgan Chase. The insurance company raised our insurance premiums every year by a significant amount but never disclosed that Chase and State Farm are in business together. State Farm would raise our insurance premiums and Chase would hold the money in our escrow. Illegal.
We recently found out that Chase is not the legal mortgagee on our property. They transferred our mortgage through MERS so the clerk of court has our first mortgage company as the legal mortgagee on our property. Chase disbursed from our escrow account on 12/1/17 to pay our property taxes through electronic payment. As of 12/17/17, our property taxes are still unpaid. They basically stole money from our escrow account. The customer service dept. said that they mailed the check which I knew was a lie because last year it took 30 days for Chase to pay our property taxes after they disbursed from our escrow. Organized Crime Operation!!!
Updated on 12/23/2017: On 12/15/17, I mailed our 4/1/18 mortgage payment of $1249.80 by certified mail to Chase. Yesterday on 12/22/17, Chase signed for the mortgage payment. This morning on 12/23/17, our mortgage account shows that the whole $1249.80 mortgage payment was applied to the principal of our mortgage even though the payment slip and check showed that it was clearly marked as a mortgage payment. Keep a copy of every document and payment you send to Chase because you will need it. Don't do business with Chase!

When I first bought my home in October 2005. I was under land contract with the owner for so many months. I was making my house payment every month, my insurance payment was not escrowed, and everything was on time. After a year it was financed to me through another lender. That I never missed a payment with. But when it got sold to Chase from the other lender. The price of my house went up 10,000 more and my payment went up almost 300.00 more a month. They have tried to foreclose on my house every other year since then. When it got sold to Chase I never got a letter in the mail for that action. I have reinstated my house 4 times and been under a world of stress. They tried to make me do a short sale and told me that my home was only worth 20,000 which my garage is worth that much.
They told me I had a loan modification in 2015 and had to wait until 2017 to do another one. Which was wrong and I have the paperwork to prove it. But to make a long story short my home is on a FHA loan and they know they would get their money anyway if they did ForeClose. I had to pay 3000.00 to an attorney because we was in a mediation and Chase’s attorney told me I needed one. On top of that he had no clue about the short sale and who the company was that called me out of the blue. That bank should be paying my house off with as much drama and heartache they have put me and my family through. It is ridiculous the way they get away with doing people. But I really need to know where I should turn too.
After hiring that attorney and getting a loan modification down to 650.00 a month when I only bring home 1200.00 is really crazy. But they have messed up my credit so bad with all of the late payments that I have a lot of work to do with that too. But hopefully I will keep looking for answers because they must do their loans electronically because that is not my signature or my initials on those loan documents and the people I actually purchased my house from is not on there nowhere. Sounds like fraud to me somewhere.

I have had a home loan with Chase Bank since 2003. After being lied while doing the loan. We got into financial trouble many years later. Needed help and Chase was horrible to deal with. Even to this day after getting out of trouble and keeping good with my loan with this company I still have trouble. The customer service is horrible. You can call every day of the week about the same issue and get a different response to the same question every day and not one person will see notes from the previous phone call after they tell you they will make notes. I just found out after 15 years with this bank that they do not even have the correct paperwork on my house after I tried refinancing with another company. Have tried for 3 weeks to get one piece of paper. And cannot because no one at Chase knows what to do. They only know how to lie to you to get you off phone and to get to next person.

If you use this company to handle your mortgage, you are a FOOL and that's coming from a FOOL. How is it possible for a national bank to be rated 1 star and be listed on rip-off.com. I'm 64 years old, been a successful business owner my entire life, good assets and credit score over 800. None of that mattered, took 2 1/2 months to get a loan. It was a very humbling experience. I could tell you some of my experiences, but they sound unbelievable to me, so I won't go into them. I will say this was likely the final straw. We were promised we would close on the 15th, again after 2 1/2 months of providing documents. Some of these same documents were provided (5) times. Back to our promised closing date of the 15th, after missing the original date of the 1st. Fortunately the condo has appreciated approx 50K since we signed our contract. It expired on the 1st. The seller signed an extension for us.
I'm not sure I would have done that. He could have picked up $50 grand. The point is we could have easily lost the house, that we were renting at the time. On the 6th, we got (2) letters from Chase. The first one we opened said we were approved and moving towards closing. The second one said, they were sorry that they had to reject our loan. Get this, both letters dated the 6th, both sign by the same person. I started buying houses in 1979 to a build a rental portfolio for retirement. I've purchased 30 or more. The time it took to buy all of them added together didn't take 2 1/2 months. As we shared with our friends along the way, they assured we were not the only ones that had similar experiences.
I never felt single out, I just felt I was going crazy. To my knowledge this is the 2nd review I've ever written, but for respect of my fellow man, I had to write this one. I want to go to a consumer advocate group, but I'm too beat down. You often hear about business being "too big to fail", this business is big, but at some point they have to fail. You don't know me, but don't use this company. I don't want to throw some other companies under the bus, but no one seemed surprised. I don't drink alcohol, but I came darn close. Its was an experience I would not wish on my worst enemy. I'm going to stop here, but part of me wants to put it all out there. The approval/rejection letter from same sender, same day should tell you all you need to hear.

They did however apologize for the whole misplacing the letter thing and I'm sure my credit, my finances, my marriage, & my kids' future or lack thereof will all accept their apology for the paper.

In 2006 our mortgage company was bought out by Chase. Our mortgage payment had included taxes and homeowner's insurance. When Chase took over they never sent payments to the tax dept. nor homeowner's insurance. They also had escrow money and failed to use it to pay them. I called & was given the runaround to call their escrow, customer service & other depts. with no avail. Yet they raised my mortgage $900/month as they took out an insurance policy for themselves. My job closed & my husband went blind.
Our payments should have been paid through the insurance but since they never paid premiums we couldn't put in a claim. To no avail they would not help or give us answers & after 24 years we list our house to foreclosure. I couldn't show up at the hearing as I got bit by a brown recluse spider and they padlocked the house with our belongings in it even before the court hearing. The foreclosure papers said Wells Fargo LLC not even Chase. A class action suit was brought against them & also advised us to obtain a lawyer to sue them individually. No lawyer I called would go against the two banks. I have lost all confidence in both banks!

Chase was terrible. First thing's first, it is unfair to homeowners that mortgage companies can sell the homeowners' mortgages to another investor without their consent/knowledge. Homeowners have no input. Not right!!! The owner of the home should be told before their loan is sold to another investor. We were solicited by Chase for a refi after they bought our mortgage from Flagstar Bank. That ended in predatory lending issue (adjusted ARM). Terrible, could not do another refi. Did a modification which was a joke. Still didn't help us enough.
The economy was terrible, I had hurt myself and I had to go on SSI disability. We had to apply for a second modification with Chase. Of course our loan was sold again without our knowledge. This time THANK GOD. The customer service was terrible. They are so big no one knows what the other is doing, CSR were hard to understand many times, and a lot of times read the script and really couldn't help. You got transferred a lot. It was a HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE.
