Do not do business with Chase unless you want your credit score trashed. We were with them for over 20 years and NEVER made a late payment with the exception of our last payment when we obtained a reverse mortgage and paid them off. It was 15 days late due to slow paperwork. Our credit score fell 100 points for 1 late payment. I contacted them and asked if they could forgive that one payment and their answer was absolutely not.

I see that others are having the same experience that I have. Chase Mortgage gave my father, who was 81 years old at the time, a 30 year home equity mortgage, interest only for 10 years. And now that he is 91 (and deaf), his principal payments started and they are 3 times what he was paying. The mortgage alone is 62% of his total income. They gave him this loan with no income verification that he could pay it back but now do not want to do a refinance to help him stay in the house, rather, they are giving him the run around for documents for a refinance. I have sent the documents 4 times, updated ones, and they keep asking for more. Then they sent him a letter saying that they are happy to help him with the short sale "he requested", just sign more papers.
I called the bank to demand they back off, he wants to stay in the house. He is up to date on the mortgage. They just want to steal his house. They already have received $50K in interest payments, so if they make a fast sale they will profit. They included an "appraisal", in the last set of papers they sent to us to try to prove that there is no equity in the house in order to refuse to refinance. They left out the highest selling comps which would show there is still equity in the condo. The appraiser was not even licensed! I want to know why there is no government oversee bureau preventing this kind of financial abuse, elder abuse, and predatory lending?
Updated on 01/08/2016: I wrote previously about trying to get help for my father who is underwater in his mortgage. Chase suggested that I go to the Florida's Hardest Hit program to see if he is eligible. Chase sent an undervalued appraisal to try to prove that my father had no equity in the condo so they could deny him a refinance. Meanwhile, I used that undervalued appraisal to show the Florida's Hardest Hit program that he was over his head in his mortgage. After 4 months of paperwork, I was informed that my father was eligible to get $25,000 - the difference between what he owes and the market value. BUT the catch is that Chase has to approve the pay down. Of course they didn't accept it. They were the ones who referred me to the program, but now they said they can't accept it on a HELOC. They have prevented him from withdrawing more money from the HELOC. If I had $ I would sue Chase Bank.

I am a REALTOR, Chase is the worse mortgage lender! They are incompetent, asking for items they already have. They do not know the meaning of "time is of the essence", and are requesting water well documentation which the state does not require. This has been going on for 3 months!

After this ridiculous experience I will never use Chase & I will go out of my way to spread the word to everyone I know, about how Chase has mistreated us!! I have been waiting to sell my house to a couple getting their mortgage through Chase. They have been lied to over and over, pushed back our closing dates numerous times, my realtor has been rudely spoken to & lied to. I've paid for unnecessary storage because of false dates I was given from Chase, wasting my time and money! It seems David ** & Scott ** are the laziest mortgage reps on the planet! I am outraged that I even have to write this, but currently this situation has been nothing but a huge headache.
At this point we were told the CEO, and her personal underwriter would handle this file until completion! But still we are not being answered and dates being pushed back again! At this rate, I am supposed to close on the house I'm buying in 7 days! There's no way this is going to happen & I'm risking losing this house because Chase can't get their act together and just do their jobs!! I'm furious & nothing Chase tells me at this point, I can believe. They have proven to be lazy, slow, liars and unprofessional! I really hope they can get their act together and stop ruining my life!
I don't want any association with this bank & want to warn anyone else to NOT use Chase! Especially the mortgage reps in Farmington, Michigan!! Not to mention, their clients are in their 80's and have been loyal customers for many many years! It's sad, they've been treated this way. Their mortgage rep is too lazy to meet up with them to help move this along! Obviously he doesn't care much for being good at his job! It's just bad, it's all so bad... Bad business Chase!

First I must say, Linda of Clever MO posted on Aug. 12, 2015, I am going through the exact same thing. My home was financed by Chase Mortgage out of OH. I move out of the home in Charlotte NC in June 2009, after losing my job and getting the run around with Chase for about a year not wanting to allow me to enter into some hardship program that would lower my interest rate so that I could remain in the home. I receive a foreclosure letter letting me know that the home was in foreclosure and a sale date was set. Well I then received a letter from Brock and Scott (Chase Mortgage attorney) saying that the sale date was pushed out a whole year.
So in 2012 I started receiving letters from the city telling me that I was being billed for the property upkeep. I told them that the home does not belong to me anymore. I received a letter from Brock and Scott stating the home sold in Oct 2012. Well 2 years later 2014 a cop calls me and tells me I have squatter in my home (drug dealers) and that I was responsible for the property. Again I tell them that I do not own that home and explain that I had moved out on 2009.
I have tried reaching out to Chase and it has been unsuccessful. If there is any Lawyer reading these reviews please file a class action lawsuit, I guarantee you will come out on top and we all will get a piece of the settlement. My credit cannot improve because of this foreclosure and it is hard to recover from it when they just keep letting things linger on for years. I have been out of that home for 6 years now and today, just today I received a call from a person wanting to buy the home... A HOME I DON'T OWN!!

I have had a mortgage with Chase since October 30, 2009 and it has been a total nightmare. To start, at the closing, their lawyer told me what my payment would be, I saw it on the documents. I sent the payment in on time for 4 months. Then out of the blue I get a call from them telling me that I was in arrears and wasn't paying enough. I ask why I wasn't notified. They gave me the address they were sending notices to and it turned out the notices were sent to the house I sold, which Chase did not finance, instead of the house I purchased. Not only that, it turned out that I was in the system under a different last name, not the name on all my documents that are legal documents. It took me 4 years to get that changed.
Found out today 10/2/15, that they still have some of their records in a name I haven't used for 10 years. I also found the real mortgage amount under a staple, at the top of what appeared to be a blank page. Their lawyer didn't do his job. So, then begins the recovery of my 800 credit score. Over the years, I have had to place multiple calls over months to rectify the issues I have had with the mortgage. NO ONE seems to be doing their job.
This year, Chase was sent a declaration page on my insurance, which I pay in full directly to the insurance company and ALWAYS have done. Well, this year they decide to pay the declaration which has caused me tremendous grief. They increased my escrow payment to much more than the $437 for the policy. I called them to pay the insurance directly. They took the payment, but didn't apply it to the insurance. I am currently on the 4th call about this issue. This rep is telling me she has to file an insurance waiver.
Why didn't this process happen before? I feel like I have to call Chase every month to make sure they are doing their jobs. I am so sick of babysitting this company. I've been a homeowner for 25 years and this is the only company that I've had to dog to make sure they don't ruin me. This has gone on for years and I am sick of it. The stress is terrible.

I always make the payments through Chase online using my checking account. In this case it has been two payments to the principal that has been rejected. They block my payment option and are blaming my bank. I called my bank, but I don't have any problems. I always paid my Chase credit cards with the same account and even my mortgage with the same account and now they blocked my payment option until March 2016, and want me to send a letter with a proof of funds from my bank. Which is incredible, because if I don't have funds I am not going to send extra payments to the principal? It's a waste of time to deal with a bank that don't help their customers to solve a problem. I can't even send a message to them because they have communication issues.

Chase required me to pay a 'shortage' on my escrow account. Based on their escrow analysis my account would fall short of the cushion (Chase requires the RESPA maximum allowed cushion of 1/6 of total payouts). The only reason I was falling short was that Chase pays the property taxes the month before they're due. If they paid them on the due date my account would never fall below the cushion. When I called to explain this I was effectively told that they're legally allowed to screw me over like this. So now I effectively have to pay another month's escrow payment for absolutely no reason. VA doesn't require interest be paid on escrow accounts so Chase will use the extra funds to make themselves a little more cash and I get nothing.

All was well with CHF home mortgage until 18 months ago when I began sending a separate principal curtailment check (to knock down my principal balance) with regular payment check. The trouble began and continued for 5 months running. They threw the extra principal into escrow. This took extraordinary time and effort on my part to rectify. Sat on phone Mondays for about 12 weeks, continually repeating my problem to new people. After 5 months, voila! They applied the extra check where it belongs. These people are all about home mortgage & this should never have become a problem but it is for THEM.
Now, 18 months later they have conveniently lost my additional payment check. This really only benefits their company to not apply principal curtailments. My most recent phone call of Sept. 4th revealed they do not have record of the check being deposited. Their solution was for me to stop payment on "that" check number and resubmit another. What? So they can destroy that one also? My checking bank charges me $45 to do a stop payment. Wish I could refi away from them but as you know to do so is expensive. I have decided to go into a Chase Bank branch and submit my checks through them so as to get a receipt. Finally I shall call them everyday (although this is time consuming) and bug them about that lost/destroyed check. Tying up their lines everyday should have some effect, somehow.

I will be very quick. Resume: Don't go with Chase or you may lose the home or the Down Payment!!!! First I want to recognize that this is my fault because I trust Chase and I thought that it was a Bank that care about their client. I did not do my homework and found later that I made a very bad mistake by choosing this bank.
Here is my story: I found a home of $ 240,000.00 in a very good area in Miami FL (perfect home, very good condition). I been with Chase for many years and I can buy a few homes like the one that I'm describing here by pay cash with the money that I have in my bank account in Chase. I told Chase that I will give them $ 80,000.00 down payment and I will finance the other $ 160,000.00. They ask me "why you chose us" and I told them "you have all my money. I want you to have my home as well..." I thought this is the most common sense decision and you may agreed with me. This is a very easy deal that any broker will kill to have. I will say I'm the perfect buyer since it is impossible to lose with this down payment that I'm putting and with my perfect credit score and income...
After 45 days of asking me for paper and asking me stupid questions, writing stupid letters and after unnecessary delays and mistake on their end, they told me NO. Basically the seller told me no more extension and if I don't come up with the money today "you will lose the 12K down payment and the home." Tomorrow I will go and close the deal and I will pay 240,0000.00 from my own money from Chase ACC just because I trust CHASE MY BANK! And I did not went to another lender or even check them online for reviews. Now I will search for other bank to transfer all my account and stop making money for this **.
Let me tell you something about myself so you can understand how bad is this bank. My credit score is above 750. I make more than 150K a year! A lot more! I'm a professional license and they know because they ask for it... I have my own business with few employees. I pay a lot of taxes. I have a home with no mortgage, the American dream! I do not have any type of debt, I drive a Toyota. LOL! I'm American citizen (Hispanic maybe that is why they say no). I been with Chase since they buy Washington Mutual probably more than seven years ago. The home was for 240K and I was putting more than 30%. And they say NO after make me lose a lot of time and money.
My friend if you don't get the right answer for my experience go there, do your loan and let us know your history! If you think this History is not True here is the Chase Branch # and the name of the Loan officer. Chase Branch 12795 S Dixie Hwy, Pinecrest, FL 33156. Phone: (305) 253-3685. Loan Officer: **. The reason why you can't get with Chase Bank is because all this loan officers and brand manager are just employees with no power at all. They will not get anything done. To you they are just there to fill up your application and ask you for more documents once the other part of Chase ask them. Even my business account manager is not able to do anything, no power at all and trust me he does not want to lose my account. LOL. You will never be in contact with someone with the right power (A real Manager). It is almost like go to a Mcdonald's to get a loan...
This ** can crash the market, make Companies like Blackstone & Invitation Homes and buy all homes in foreclosure and then rent it back very expensive to the people, get bailed out from the government and stolen our hard work money and they don't even give me a little loan because now that the rate are low it is not good for them!!! Do you understand how the ** works? This people don't give a **. This Banks and this Government are using us like stupid animals!

My husband and I paid off our Chase mortgage in April. At the time, papers were whisked away from us and we were told they would handle everything as far as the payoff and recording. I just found out the documents were never sent to a location in another state instead of to us. Chase is in possession of them.

I have been banking with Chase for 10 years and I didn't think I will get this kind of treatment. It takes 2 weeks when others take 3 days. They have so many overlays so your loans will get rejected anyway. Please avoid it at all costs.

This company is like a vulture. They pretty much kept kicking me down, when I lost my job. Was still paying on time with my savings but contacted them about my situation. They immediately jumped on me. Had it not been for government laws, I would have lost my home. Can't wait to pay off this mortgage, and say goodbye to Chase forever. I will never purchase any of their financial products ever again and discourage others from doing so as well. I assure you they will find every way to squeeze every last penny out you, if they can. They do not care about their customers, only their bottom line.

I am writing to see if you can assist me with my problem or if you can recommend an office that can. I have been disputing this matter for several years and I am tired and frustrated with dealing with it and desperate to receive a satisfactory resolution. Please see the following for my story. The Hoffman Law Group was the law firm that was representing me with my case against JPMorgan Chase Home Finance. The information that I have regarding the case that evidently is filed is as follows: Filed in May 2014. US Federal Court MD Baltimore Division. Case **, Case name: **, ET AL v. JPMorgan Chase. The case could be filed using my name or that of my father's, Johnny **, Sr. I have full authorization to discuss and handle everything regarding this matter. I can provide documentation of such if necessary.
Below is my story that had taken me to the point of where I ended up with The Hoffman Law Group representing me against the mortgage lender that erroneously foreclosed on our property and evicted me from my home. I have written to Chase Home Finance numerous times regarding a serious matter with our account # ** and have yet to receive any satisfactory resolution. Going on approximately four years ago we initiated a request for a loan modification on the first mortgage of our home. The home is in my father’s name, Johnny **, Sr. and I have complete authorization to discuss the account so that is why I am writing.
Initially I attempted to proceed with obtaining the modification on my own since I was told that it was possible to do. Since I was not getting any cooperation and basically getting the runaround about the request I had given up. I was told to send this and send that and do this and do that. I fully complied to all of the requests but never got anywhere. So in my disappointment with the lack of results that I was receiving I obtained a real estate attorney for assistance in obtaining the modification.
It has still been several months and it seems as though even with the assistance of my attorney we are still just getting a runaround. We were being asked for the same documents over and over again but once they get submitted still nothing gets done about the request. We have paid off the second note of over $50,000.00 and have even attempted to keep paying the temporary payments but then was told that they can no longer be accepted because the loan was under review for a modification. Well, I thought that was why they were temporary payments
It seems that even though we paid the second note completely off and we are cooperating fully with the requests for documents (over and over again) it doesn't count for anything. All we were asking for is a loan modification to reduce the monthly payments to make them more manageable and attainable. We were asking for the payments to be between $800 - $1000 per month. Since the second note has been completely paid off we don't feel that this is a impossible request.
It has gotten to this point where we were told that the house was going to go up for foreclosure/sale. So we were weighing our options and preparing for such. On the morning of the scheduled sale date my attorney received a phone call from a representative at Chase Home Finance informing them that the sale was stopped, they even have this on a recorded at their law firm. Instead the sale went on and the house is being foreclosed on. I was simply writing to request that the foreclosure be rescinded and that Chase Home Finance will simply honor our request for a loan modification on our home.
We even received numerous mailings from Chase Home Finance asking us to apply for a loan modification. Again, all we were asking for is that Chase Home Finance rescind the foreclosure and that they PLEASE honor this request so that we can resume our regular payments and be back in our home. Even after reporting this to our local congressman and receiving a response from the executive office they basically accused me of lying about everything and absolutely refuse to provide any resolution forcing me to take legal action and sue them. We are extremely angry and are telling everyone we know about this matter and how horrible they treat their customers.

I have banked at Chase for nearly 10 years and thought Chase was great. On the flip side, I have also been a great customer of Chase. I've never overdrawn any of my accounts and have completed every market research survey Chase has asked me to complete. In August of 2014 my mortgage loan was sold to Chase Bank. In early July, I began the process of requesting that the PMI on my loan be waived. I completed the paperwork and mailed the $450 check to Chase to order the appraisal. The appraiser completed the appraisal of my home right away and then things quickly went downhill. After about 2.5 weeks, I started calling Chase to see if the appraisal came in. Each time, I received a different answer. It was obvious that the customer service reps were not given the information necessary to appropriately answer my questions.
Finally, on 8/14 I spoke with someone who informed me that the PMI would be waived. She had a hard time letting me know when the PMI would fall off and couldn't give any info on the appraisal. This rep told me that I need to contact the appraiser for a copy of the appraisal. I explained to her that I did (based on earlier calls to Chase customer reps) but that the appraiser was not getting back to me. The problem is, I paid Chase to order the appraisal. Chase contracts with the appraisal company so it makes sense that the appraisal company wouldn't communicate with me. This particular rep did not have a pleasant attitude and put me on hold for 10 mins before transferring me to her supervisor. The supervisor told me that the full appraisal was in the mail.
As of today, I have not received the appraisal. So, I contacted Chase again. This time, I was told that there is no appraisal on record so please wait 7-10 business days so Chase can research again and get back to me. I spent $450 and have no idea what the value of my home is. This process has been so frustrating and it has become obvious that I am not a valued customer of Chase. Therefore, I went to Chase to close my bank accounts and move my money elsewhere. While I was there, I explained to the Chase employee why I was closing my account. This person relayed to me that he/she is in the process of purchasing a home and even though Chase employees receive a discount, he/she is not obtaining a loan there because of the poor service.

We owned our home for 17 yrs. Shortly prior to the economic crisis that was going on in 2008/2009, we refinanced w/ Chase. After doing so, my husband job was getting hit with the economic situation, as well as myself (which I working 2 jobs 60 hrs per wk, 2 days off per month)... Long story short, we called countless times to ask for help or remodification, but never heard back from them. By July 2009 we were 90 days in the rear, we left our 4 bd. home, with only basics for my husband and myself. Thankfully our children just moved out, we didn't have to drag them into this mess with us. Left furniture, tools, school items that our children made.... just about everything... to downsize to a small apartment, which took us 1 year to save up for after we left our home. We declared bankruptcy in June 2010, which our home was included in.
Since then, we have been fortunate enough to rebuild our credit to almost 700 range. So, we applied for a new home. Everything looked great.... but Chase kicked us again. We just recently discovered, our home was not foreclosed, until Jan. 29, 2014. In order to qualify for a home after foreclosure, a person has to wait a minimum of 3 yrs. I called Chase, to ask why did that wait all that time to foreclose? We moved out after 90 days of not making our payment. We haven't lived there since July 1, 2009. Their attorney was rude, and told me he is not at liberty to discuss this with us... However, they were granted to stop the foreclosure proceedings until, it was officially foreclosed on Jan. 29, 2014.
So, now we can't buy a house. We are 50 yrs old.... and have nothing to look forward to, other than to pay high rental payments. I am so mad at our country for allowing big corporations do this to the general public... Not our fault that the economy went sour, not our fault that now we cannot get into a home. But Thank You Chase, for doing nothing more than messing up our lives!!!!! I want to know who I can write to in Washington to look into Chase' s shenanigans.

Chase was my mortgage holder for the last 4 years and made all my payments on time. I was in process of selling my house and moving across the state and made one late payment. I was also having a home built, but since the late payment was made it ruined my credit score. Chase was in no way willing to work with me on improving the credit score, even though my lender told me other buyers had similar circumstances and their bank would work with them. Thanks a lot Chase. Now my family and I will most likely lose the house we are having built. I would highly recommend never doing any kind of business with this company. Also, none of the customer service agents were understanding about my situation and they all sounded like robots. "I am sorry to hear that sir, but I can't help you. We must report to the credit bureau."

I have been with Chase Mortgage for 11 years now. Always paid on time more than what is due. Credit score upper 700. Wanted to refinance to pay for a bathroom addition. I contacted Chase on May 15 and started the refinancing. We owe about $74,000 on the original note. With the bathroom addition I needed to add $17,500 to the note to pay off a note I acquired to pay the contractor which I did not think was a problem. I had to fax them the past 2 years tax forms twice. They wanted to know all of my assets and income which I can understand. Their appraiser appraised our house at $186,000. You would think it would be a simple deal but apparently not with Chase.
I have property in another county which is in Arkansas which is not mortgaged but I get a letter from my insurance company stating that Chase was the mortgagee on it so I contacted Chase and they said it was mistake but they have not corrected it. Then I get a email asking about the property in Alabama with same address as Arkansas. I told them I don't have any property in Alabama, it is in Arkansas. I had to get a personal loan to pay the contractor which is costing me $150 a month in interest and about to make my 3rd payment. August the 13 it will be 3 months since I started this fiasco. I contacted Chase looking for someone to complain to and was sent to the person I wanted to complain about. Never, never, again...

I was shopping mortgage rates. I first called and got the best rate that my current mortgage holder could offer. Then I called my bank, Chase, who I have been with for more than 15 years and who I have many checking and savings accounts. I was on hold for more than 15/minutes, no problem, they were busy. And then 'Dave **' blasted on the line and bombarded me with a ton of unapplicable questions. Yet he had no idea what I was even really calling about. After he finally got done ranting and talking over me I explained to him that I was shopping rates and that I was quoted a great rate from my current lender and wanted to know if Chase could meet or beat it. It was that simple. I gave him all my personal information so he could confirm I was a Chase client and he could pull me up on the computer and get a 'value' of my home(s). He had everything he needed and I knew he could have easily given me a quote right then.
But he was pissed at me because I didn't let him railroad me and drive the conversation where HE wanted. He said, "I'll call you back." I knew when I hung up the phone that Dave ** was not going to call me back. He was NOT going to do his job. He could not handle it. Of course I was right. He never called me back!!! It's strange because I've found other areas of Chase that are efficient and great to work with. (Chase Visa/Debit Card is one.) Mortgage lending is NOT one of them and never has been. I've approached Chase several times regarding refi's all with similar outcomes. This will be the last.

When I first purchased my home the loan was through another lender. They ended up shutting down their mortgage side and sold out to Chase. I should have immediately looked for another lender being my credit was amazing at that time. My parents had awful experiences multiple times with Chase. They were able to get away from them just to have Chase purchase the mortgage AGAIN!! They raised the mortgage on my parents a second time. They eventually got away from them and haven't had any issues. But, me being a first time homebuyer I was naive. I was doing great with my mortgage for the last 4 years (when Chase took over). I unfortunately had some trouble and turned to Chase for a loan modification. I was approved for $250 lower than my current mortgage. I thought "GREAT!! That would help significantly." I just had to make it through the 3-month trial period. No problem.
My trial period started June 1. I was 2 months late. I was able to get myself caught up before my trial period. I made payment on May 23rd to pay my May 1st mortgage. I was informed AFTER she processed my payment that it may affect my trial period and that the payment could not be reversed. How convenient for Chase. I panicked and told the woman that I was not aware of that. And I was never told nor was it in the paperwork to stop paying your mortgage including late payments. It stated to not make additional payments once the trial period started. I panicked and told the woman I did not want this to mess that up. I put paying other bills aside to get caught up. The ONLY nice thing with the whole ordeal was that the rep who was in charge of my account kept in constant contact with me to let me know they were working on my account and if they needed any additional info.
The end of June I was contacted by my rep and he informed me that my trial period was over and I would be sent a letter from Chase and that I owed NO money to Chase until September. I said "Are you sure?" He said, "Yes. You are good until until September 1." I received a phone call that following Monday before the letter, stating I was late on my mortgage. I called them and was informed that my trial period had ended (not even 30 days in) and not only did I owe for July my normal mortgage but also an extra $250 for the June payment. I lost my ** on the phone. I explained, pleaded and cried to this woman who then referred me to her "boss." I told her the same story. They said because of the payment I made on May 23rd they decided that I could indeed afford the regular mortgage. And then proceeded to tell me that I needed to make a payment for June.
I said "HELLLOOO!! I paid other bills that I put aside to pay my late payments which I was NEVER told not to make. It wasn't until that May payment that I was informed that it may affect my loan modification." So it was a back and forth. She then said that if I had all the original paperwork to just refax it. So I did the very next morning. Didn't hear anything for a week so again, I called. I was informed that they received the paperwork and that it was not acceptable and they would be sending me a new packet. I received that packet among SIX additional packets every other day. So now they are trying to bombard me with these things I feel to frustrate and confuse me. I filled out the first packet and faxed it in. I have called three times in the last 3 weeks. The underwriters are still reviewing it. I have not heard anything from my new rep which I was told would be contacting me on a few days.
I have not heard from her once in the three weeks. I wish I had the money to afford the kind of lawyers that these millionaires can afford who ALWAYS get their loan modifications approved. They are driving around in ONE out five of their $80000 cars that they are still paying on. Their multi million dollar mansion. It's make me so angry that I am trying to straighten my life out with help from my mortgage company. I am trying to provide for not just myself but my child. Life took an unfortunate turn for me but I am surviving. I have my health, my job and my son's health. Now I just don't want to lose our home. But due to miscommunication on Chase's part I might have to reconsider my options. Stay away from them. They will not help you. They seem like they will at first. I would suggest getting lawyers involved if you can afford it at all.

Feb turned in modification loan package. My home was in foreclosure, paid off what I was behind in March 2015. Since then waiting for 6 months for a decision, but in this six month of waiting I've been faxing over and over documents. I believe they're full of it. My lawyers advise me that "9 out of 10 you might be approved, it shouldn't take this long. They're just seeing how far you'll go with this since you paid off what you're behind in." Why should they help you? If you want to lower your rates, go through a real bank, at least they'll tell you upfront. Just today Chase just asked me to fax the RMA again 8/3/2015, which I faxed Feb 16, and March 7, because they can't see from fax or can't read it, or some bull excuse. Chase should be sued. And if you escrow your mortgage and taxes to your payment, you better watch if they say you are in shortage. Make sure they give you a detailed automization of what you are short in.
I bet my bottom dollar they'll say something you owed them from a last year analyses. I have used Chase since 2003, 2007, 2011 because I have bought houses and sold back then. I have never had a solid mortgage payment that will last more than six months. It goes up, and I don't have a variable rate. It's fixed. Do your research before you buy your home. Don't have your insurance or taxes escrowed, pay them from you! My experiences have led me to this point, and I can give a rats ** if Chase sees this, cause I'm through. I guess if I hadn't caught up my payments my home would be on a short sale. Even your on assistance program, news folks, they can do that behind your back. Talk to a lawyer get advise, it's worth it. I'm sorry if I post it, but it's the truth and I know you are in my boat as well.

This bank is pushy, and a lot of the time, customer service reps are rude. I simply called this evening to confirm receipt of our very large house payment, and the guy was incredibly rude, would not let me get a word in, and was interrupting me every time I tried to speak. I only wanted to make sure they received our payment. Also, when my husband lost his job, they were unwilling to work with us, on any kind of solution to help prevent foreclosure. Instead, they tacked on $400 more onto our $1300 a month payment, for "repayment" on past due. Hello, we were unemployed! I'm not happy with this bank at all.

I refinanced my Chase mortgage loan in 2007, then again in 2009, never missing a payment and always paid on time. In 2014 I became unemployed and sought a loan modification from Chase. After being told I only qualified for a unemployment forbearance I accepted but remained in good faith, paying the entire mortgage amount because the forbearance is not forgiving or tacked on the end of the loan but due at the end of the forbearance. After the forbearance ended and still unemployed I was told I could qualify for the loan modification.
After submitting much paperwork and waiting for the reviews and underwriter to make their decision, I was again denied the modification and offered another forbearance. Now for people to understand why I am frustrated with Chase, my house is underwater so far it sank. I have not walked away from it like my neighbors and many in this country because I believe in this country. I want to do what's right and pay it through but when the very institutions that build and prosper in this country decide to limit their support for those who made them great, they too shall fall. I did want to share my anguish about Chase in public like so many have but Now I feel relieved!

I am a real estate agent that has completed over 30 real estate transactions in the last 6 months. This is by far the worst lending service I have seen in years. There was a 21 day financing and appraisal contingency in which Chase failed to meet either contingency. The appraisal came back over a week after the contingency expired and the financing approval is still not available and the file is 14 days past the contracted closing date. The continued response is that they will know more 'tomorrow' and each time we have new information, we are advised it will take another week to confirm if they can get the file to close.
Now, 2 weeks after the contracted closing and ~45 days from the start of the contract, it looks like they may not be able to provide him the approval due to an issue that most local lenders find when pre-approving a buyer (before a contract is even in play) and the contract will fall through thus the buyer losing his earnest money and the seller losing the entire spring market season waiting on this awful service. The kicker - the buyer even works at a Chase bank...
I will never recommend that my sellers accept a contract with a buyer utilizing Chase financing and I will certainly advise every buyer against even considering working with Chase for a loan unless they want extremely poor customer service, a questionable closing, and the potential to lose their earnest money. There are so many amazing local mortgage brokers out there, there is just no excuse to provide a customer experience like this and to make what is already a stressful situation even more stressful.

I have had my house and only owe half of the original loan. I only owe 15 years. I got a divorce and needed to refi to get it out of his name. They had me fill out all this paper, bring tax returns, ask for more papers again, another list of my 401K, and all of my bank accounts. I have enough in investment equity in my other 3 homes which Chase has two of the other rental homes and has proof I've owned them for 15 years and owe very little on them. I have a house out of state and they called the credit union to verify on a 3 way call about and I only owe 40,000 on that loan and my credit union told them I have paid in advance for 4 months ahead.
Now after this so called company Chase uses a third party calls me and insist I again do another 3 way call for a balance of 45.00 on my American Express bill. I have never been late. I have a credit score in the 800 and Chase takes my money of 410.00 non refundable application fee and then ups the percentage 1 point and wants me to close at a higher rate than what I signed up for. They are using the excuse they don't know if I'm living there. Well all of my houses are rented, which I can prove and the county appraiser came by unannounced during this and he said they check out all the properties when a divorce has been completed for homestead. He didn't have any concerns.
But all of this is still crazy. No one said I had to live there to refi my own home. Even though I am living there? It just seems crazy with them when they have my rentals and I don't claim homestead and I put the 20% down 15 years ago. I haven't hid anything. It is one big harassment. DO NOT USE THEM. Do like Clark Howard says and use a credit union. I have removed most of my money and I will be moving all of my 3 houses from Chase. They know I have enough money to pay them off and I still get treated badly and they act like I'm stupid and will go with a higher rate. They called me with a counter offer!

Please do not use Chase bank. They have the worst customer service and all cover for each other's inadequacies. I recently refinanced my mortgage. I was lied to from the original mortgage consultant (Charlie ** from Oceanside, NY). Then, I complained to his boss (William **) who didn't call me back and I had to keep calling and emailing him. Then I complained to William **'s boss (Mujeebur **) who also did not call me back. My case was referred to the corporate office to Courtney **. She called me and I explained the problems I was having with trying to refinance my mortgage. The lies I was told and the fact that Chase was unable to handle a certain part of my loan and I had to take care of it for them. In addition, I told her about the non-responsiveness to the entire mortgage team that I was dealing with.
I received a letter from the corporate office a little while after the phone call whereby Chase just stood by their own people and basically said I was wrong. I complained again because my issues were still mounting even as of the day of the closing (they were charging me the wrong amount for closing costs/title insurance). I had to send several emails. I called Courtney ** and I emailed her asking that she call me. Of course I never heard from anyone. After my closing I received a call from a third party asking me to take a survey about my experience with Chase. Of course I gave them a lousy review. After that, I received a call from the Chase resolution management department and spoke to Joseph ** and his boss Brandon **. They referred me back to Courtney **. When I told them Courtney ** was part of the problem they said there was nothing they could do.
About a month after my closing Courtney ** called me and said she didn't know I wanted her to call her. Of course this is just another lie that Chase (Courtney **) told me. And by the way, when I left a message for Courtney **'s boss (Toby **) I never heard from him either. After my call with Courtney ** I sent a copy of the email I previously sent to her that said, "I left you a message and copied you on several emails regarding the service I have received from Chase. I would like a call back prior to my closing today". If this isn't clear that I wanted a phone call then I'm not sure what else I needed to say. Perhaps English is just not her first language.
Today I received a letter from Chase whereby they stated "Although you may have carbon copied her (meaning Courtney) in your emails to your Mortgage Banker, there was never anything in these emails to suggest that you wanted a phone call from your Research Analyst...". Gee, I thought my email saying, "I would like a call back prior to my closing today" was pretty clear that I wanted her to call me. This is what prompted me to finally write to the Department of Consumer Affairs. I was lied to by everyone at Chase. Lastly, I was accidentally copied on someone else's email by Charlie ** (thankfully it didn't have her personal information). The other Chase customer also slammed Charlie and said he is an idiot. This is someone I don't even know but obviously is having the same experience I had. I warned her and I am warning everyone else not to deal with Chase.

Chase Mortgage purchased our loan from our original mortgage company. In March 2015 we attempted to refinance our loan in response to one of mailers from Chase offering to refinance our existing loan. We diligently complied by responding with documents to Chase in anticipation of closing in early May 2015. Each submission of documents lead to additional requests noting that Chase did not delay in charging us their processing fee of 460 dollars. Lists of requested documents repeatedly followed which all were complied with - again only to receive 'new' lists demanding documents -- many of which had already been provided, etc., etc. etc.
I had worked for the U.S. Federal government for more than 40 years and am familiar with financial validations including those imposed by the departments of Treasury and Justice. As It became evident that Chase has an accounting problem and cannot effectively keep track of the documents provided to them. Too, there seems to be an internal competition within the bowels of Chase as to which agent/department can create the most difficult and redundant paperwork demand to the point of being utterly ridiculous.
After Chase having raised the bar on numerous occasions for historical (20 years past) paperwork, and after numerous requests that Chase confirm our closing date, it became clear to us that Chase no longer wished to honor the interest rate that had been locked in, and that its effort was to seek and secure a way and means to not honor the refinance. Another lending institution has agreed to refinance our home, but unfortunately with a higher interest rate - which serves to further substantiate Chase's decision as to why it has worked so hard to find a reason to not honor the refinance with them. After three months of being beaten up by Chase seeking any way possible to not honor our refinance we are shopping for another lending institution who truly wants our business. Bottom line -- Chase Mortgage is a disappointment that will never be forgotten!

I would like to start off by saying if you are buying a condo, town home or anything with an HOA please do not use Chase for your mortgage. I started doing business with one of their loan officers a month and a half ago. About two weeks ago I was told everything was great and all I had to do was wait until the closing date and the place was mine. I am in great financial standing, excellent credit, and no debt making me a pretty easy customer. A few days before the Closing Date I was told that they were having issues receiving all the proper documentation that was required after having a month and a half to do so. The day before the closing date, I was told they were unable to complete my mortgage because the HOA did not have an ordinance that Chase required.
It so happens that 16 other units were sold here in the last 6 months (none through Chase). Today is closing day, I have not heard back from Chase after leaving several voice/text messages. I now have to hope the sellers are fine with extending the closing date, my rate will be higher and I will not receive the appraisal money back ($485). This whole experience has not only cost me a significant amount of money but a huge amount of stress that I could have gone without. Please do not finance a home with Chase. At the very least do not finance anything with an HOA through Chase.

I have had my home mortgage with Chase since 2007 and just refinanced a few months ago. That process was smooth and efficient. I have never missed a house payment in all these years. My monthly note is due on the first and I have made payments that were technically late but always within the grace period and before the 16th, which is when a late fee is charged. I have never been late to where I was charged a late fee. Out of the blue, last week, I got a call from Chase and I thought it must be in regard to my recent refinancing. The caller asked if I was busy. I said "Well, I am at work. What is the call regarding?" With that, she proceeded with "This is an attempt to collect on a debt. This call may be recorded..." and also asked some strange questions, like was my house payment paid for out of my income, and was my house still in the same condition? What? Was that not covered in the refinancing?
I gave her the date that my payment would clear my bank. Again, this is before the 16th of the month. So why the phone call and what comes next? I will do everything in my power to pay on time but wonder if I will be harassed at work again if I can't pay on the first of the month. I checked my home and cell phone and they never tried calling those numbers first. All the lady had to do is to ask me when was it a more convenient time to call and on what number. Maybe I am paranoid, but I am concerned this is some kind of setup to try to take my home away. I will be doing everything within my power, even if it requires getting a second job to make sure that does not happen.
Also, I have noticed that when my bank shows payment as been made, Chase has not posted that amount to my account until the following day, which seems reasonable, but I will be watching to make sure Chase does not hold funds longer. At least I have printed the receipt from my bank, which shows the date they sent the funds to Chase. I am very dissatisfied with them calling me out of the blue at work like that, for no good reason. I found it to be harassing when I have paid my mortgage since 2007 without any problems. Why are they calling now, when I haven't done anything differently than before?

We purchased our home on a land contract. We legitimately had credit issues and worked diligently to correct them prior to going to Chase Bank for a refinance. I went to the branch with a current copy of our full credit report, 3 years tax returns, 90 days paystubs, copy of land contract, and the payoff on the house. I asked him to evaluate our circumstances prior to pulling the credit himself as to not knock our score down. He said, "Yep, we can do this" we went in the next day to sign paperwork. He told me an appraiser would be contacting me.
Chase took $480 from our account without permission to pay for the appraisal. We've never done this before so we thought we would write a check in 10 days when the appraiser came. We discussed getting extra money on our loan for home improvements to which we were told “yeah, no problem as long as the appraisal shows equity we can give you 85% of the value.” The payoff is 70,000 the appraisal is 103,000. I was asked to write FOURTEEN letters of explanation for things like why do I have to EFT each month. 1 is for car insurance and the other for my daughter's gymnastics class. I provided all that was requested.
More than 2 weeks went by after our submission of the letters with zero correspondence. I emailed the officer asking for an update and I got this in reply "file still in underwriting thanks." I replied asking about the extra cash at closing for improvements to which he replied "no extra money" that's all he wrote. More than 2 more weeks went by, not a word from him, I emailed him. 4 days after I sent that email, I called him, left a voicemail. Waited 2.5 business days to call him again. No response. Waited 2 more days to call his manager.
The manager assured me I'd get a callback yesterday, no. Called again today, manager says I'll get a callback today, which I did. The officer said "the file is still in underwriting but it will be denied" WHAT??? His reasons were genuinely crap, lies. This entire process was unprofessional, and in my opinion, not that it matters, appraisals should be when they know it will work out. We are now down $500 and back at square one.

We had to provide our relative's bank statement before and after the check cleared to prove that it's legitimate gift fund (although this amount isn't for down payment).
Wasting us almost a week to clear the check and ready to submit to the underwriter for review. Waiting for 2 weeks no status so we called the bank yet nothing happen. We have to go to the manager for assistance. Finally, on Friday 5/22/15 we got the result back with 20+ conditions that we have to meet in order for approval. Waiting for another week to come and the closing of escrow is near but no answer so we called them and get the answer that they are still waiting for Tax transcript and employment verification.
I called my HR to expedite the process but people there told me there were no request from Chase. We contacted the processor and the manager and they told us still waiting for requested document. Our loan application was put on hold because they still haven't receive the Tax Transcripts and the employment verification yet. The processor then emailed my Realtor agent and requested them to extend the contingent without discuss with us. He then said it was our fault that we provided him with wrong information and submitted the requested documents late. They had tried to expedite the process but it was up to our companies to respond or not.
I wonder how would my HR respond when they didn't even submit the request yet. The processor said "I can't make a processor disregard all of the other loans in process and immediately work on your... It is definitely a challenge to close escrow on a condo purchase with mortgage insurance required in less than 30 days." Disregard whose fault it was, we believe the bank should had requested all the necessary document like rental verification, tax transcript, and employment verification ahead of time not wait until 1 week near closing escrow. We were so upset then went further to senior lending Manager for assistance. 3 more days to our closing of escrow and we still don't know what's going on with our loan. But at least this time we had involved the higher manager and hopefully they can close our escrow on time.

What my home refinance with Chase bank is about to surface is no less than a murder mystery. It need a forensic bank cop to undo the cover ups, and come clean on this very particular loan practices that Mr Chase Bank is performing. The forensic cop or entity we are looking for should be cleared of having had any income from any bank in US. Me and my wife, we refinanced our mortgage with Chase bank in 2006 from Washington Mutual Bank. Every OK, like usual business. But in 2008 August, a JP Morgan Chase Banker named ** from a different Chase Bank location offered a better and sweet deal to refinance our 30 year loan to a 20 year which we suppose to save lots of money. Here is the beginning of nightmare which they make it look like we are bunch of lunatics and make us look like some crazy folks in front of first a lower court judge and then a federal judge.
Ended up throwing our case out of court and finally giving summary judgment to Chase without us having a chance to go in front of a jury. Basically Mr. Federal judge sided with Chase Bank story, that all our complaints amounts to nothing since Chase Bank does not recognize that person as their employee. Now we have our 2008 loan application for refinance signed by **. It has a date that matches our complaint. It has our name and home address and of course it's marked mailed to home owner. Also that loan officer was a customer of our Beer Store then. He gave more loans to our sworn customers. More so, he bought a Merchandise from our store, paid $800.00 check with name ** on his check which was deposited in 2008 into our bank acct., this is October 2008.
More funny is that we received $41,000.00 as home improvement which was deposited into our acct directly. But the said bank does not provide us with copies of our bank statement for those three months period. We are asking numerous time, we have asked for our records. They just provide everything from 2006 claiming they have destroyed all our records from those three months that's why we call this a Mysterious Mortgage Refinance. We are going to go with main street news media to get this across the world informing people these giant Banks are able to make all their wrong doings so normal. It's scary. We have told our families to watch for us in case we are murdered. Look no further than Chase bank. This story will aired soon, unless these big head executives come down to earth and smell the special roses they plant all over the world.

Chase Mortgage has been giving me the run around also. I have made all my monthly payments, but they sent me a letter saying that I have missed payments. When I contacted them to correct this wrong information, they started with the "musical" phone playing. Passing me from one person to another with no answers. I had sent to them for written request and had no response, until I got NOVAD involved. Then they responded with another number to call, which when I called it and asked for ** whom they said will handle the case. The "musical " phone tag started all over again. When I reached their "executive office" and tried to resolved this issue and asked them to pull up the scans of the checks that I have sent to them (which they don't return by the way for some reason). They tell me that they don't have access to that information, that the back office has that access.
After asking why they told me I could send in a written request for the copies of the checks, so I asked them for address and she gives me a fax number and told me that there is no address for that rudely!

I contacted Chase regarding a possible refi on an investment property we have had for several years. I spoke with Mortgage Consultant **. He stated there were several items they would need, including to pull our credit reports. He did not advise me he was going to pull them immediately. He sent two emails with information they needed to process the loan. He called me on a Saturday, demanding the information. I stated we had company and I was getting the information together. I completed my research on my end and we realized we did not need to move forward for another 1.5 years. I advised him we were going forward with someone else. He did not advise me that he had pulled our credit reports, then turned around and sent denial letters and dinged our credit. Their letter is, of course not dated. My email is dated May 5, and another May 8 clarifying that we don't need to pursue this matter at this time.
This is not acceptable practice. He should have made it clear that he was pulling our credit reports prior to even starting the application process. We never started the application. I am completely frustrated and very upset that he has taken action and it now appears we were denied for a pre-qualification on a loan that we never submitted anything but a phone call inquiry about. I want to know what agency I may contact to have this damage reversed. Thank you.

I have had a mortgage with Chase since Jan. 2010. My credit is excellent and I have never been late on payments to anyone. In mid April I went to main Chase Bank and talked to the mortgage manager to explain we needed to move back to Ohio due to family illness. I asked for info on a mortgage assistance programs. She contacted their customer assistance specialist who took a request over the phone in the manager's office. I was informed I would receive a packet in the mail which would have all the forms and necessary paperwork that I would need to send back. The specialist told me to make sure I continued making my payments.
I did receive the packet a week ago. I also received a call from customer assistance specialist who was extremely nice on the phone and telling me they were sure they could work something out. She said she saw there were no problems with my credit and payment history. She also reminded me to keep making my payments till they let me know what assistance plan they were going to put me on, but she did said she thought it be a short sale. As of this date, I had not returned in paperwork to Chase yet.
Now May 1st comes around, and I go into my Chase bill pay and try to make my house payment as usual. It won't take my payment. I tried to pay it again today. Still no luck. So I went to the branch bank and the mortgage person there was able to find out they turned off receiving payments. She was very helpful at the branch in get things straighten out. I told them to cancel my mortgage assistance request.
After telling me to keep my payments up, and then turning my account off, so it would not receive payments. I could see the handwriting on the wall, these people were not about to work with me on my problem. Chase was going to make me delinquent on my loan and start adding late charges. I'm sure their plan was to ruin my excellent credit and try their best to bankrupt me before I ever turned any paperwork in for assistance. At 69 years old, I don't need this after all the years I have used Chase, long before I got this mortgage in 2010. I'm sure God will deal with these kind of people in his time. Good Bye Chase, it has not been good knowing you.

We refused it and appealed due to my health we decided to put it on the Market. We were Blessed that it sold within a month after being on the market, which meant we did not accept the final modification so the trial payments showed us to be delinquent although the agreed amount was paid on time. The amount did not equal the original payment so it has been reported to all three of the major credit agencies as a delinquent account. The only one on our report.

I was one month behind on my mortgage. I asked if I could pay a little at a time onto my regular payment to make my account up to date. They said no and that I should apply for the Mortgage modification program. They told me the problem was I wasn't far enough behind to qualify and to stop making payments. I stopped making my next payment and then I should qualify. I applied. Till I got all the paperwork they wanted [which was the same paperwork over and over again] six months went by. All the time I'm getting in deeper and deeper.
Now besides going from one month to six, they put me in the credit bureau. Now I have to refinance according to them. I have no choice but to do so. I had a 30 year mortgage which I was down to about 23 years. They re-appraised my home and gave me the new loan. Till it was all said and done, my interest rate went up because I was now in the credit bureau which they put me in. So we take the loan, which again we had no choice. We went to settlement and they supplied the lawyer who was supposed to be impartial. He told us what each document was for that we were signing. We didn't read each document. If everyone did, settlement would take a week. The lawyer was supposed to be impartial. That was my mistake for listening to Chase.
After about a year, I find out that they had me sign for a "45" year mortgage. I went from one month late, with good credit and 23 year left on my loan, to a 45 year mortgage and bad credit. My plan was my home being paid for so my niece could move in and raise her family and let my handicapped son have his same home and his same bedroom. My niece is 30 years old. I have 38 years left on my mortgage.
At that rate, if something happens to me and my wife, she will be 68 years old till the home is paid for. And by the way, I was exposed to agent orange, I'm 67 years old, and I have every sickness there is from it and more that I'm sure was caused by it. I don't know how much longer I'll be here. I am so worried about my wife and son. Anyway, Thanks Chase. You should be closed down. I'm sure I am not the first one they've done this to. I can't afford a lawyer so I am totally screwed.

When I was doing my re-modification they would not accept phone payments, however they would not give me a date that the auto draft would come out of my account, so I had to wait until they first to see if the payment came out and then of course my payment was late. They would send me payment amounts and within 24 hours I would receive another payment amount. I had no idea when, how or what I was supposed to be paying.
Just recently they sent me a notice that my payment would be changing by $200. No explanation as to why or if it was going to be an increase in my payment or a deduction.

Questioned my husband about a insurance by out that is on his pay check stub and treated him as if he was lying about the income.
He has faxed Chase a third party letter, stating that I am authorized to speak to them regarding the account and they always come back with "we never received the request". We have faxed three separate documents within the last 6 months and they always return with "we didn't receive all of the requested documents", a month later, which then all of the documents are outdated, so you get to once again fill out the million page request. This was a repetitive cycle for us the last six months.
In the meantime, we received calls from concerned family members because they see in the paper that Chase is suing us. Wait, they told us to not make payment until all paperwork has been ran through not mentioning at all that they plan to foreclose on your home. Sorry, is all that they can say. Oh yeah and "to keep your home, you are obligated to pay the full loan amount plus attorney fees." Okay, so now you are at a dead end because your credit score is ruined because your credit score has been ruined!

On my return I found FOUR letters from Chase Mortgage informing me that I had not made my house payments and that I was about to be foreclosed. The following morning I contacted their collections department who treated me extremely rudely (since I MUST be a deadbeat debtor). I finally learned that a third party (I still don't know who) had paid off their debt to Chase and Chase erroneously credited my mortgage account and notified my bank to STOP sending payments. At some point subsequent to this Chase detected their error and put the funds in the appropriate account. They DID NOT HOWEVER, notify my bank to resume payments. As a result of this they have entered a late payment entry into my credit account that now means I have a somewhat lower credit rating.

January of 2015 we received from a third party bank a too good of offer for 10 years refinance as Chase already had our 15 years refinance mortgage we decided to go with a better known name. We called their call center as we had done 2 years prior. This time they asked for $495 for application fee and it would deducted from the closing cost. We were so sure we would get the loan, we paid it. I work as teacher and cannot answer to the phone calls. They are in Ohio 3 hours ahead. It was nightmare to communicate because initially they request the papers, etc through this secure email, to which when I send my emails I have no copy on "sent" mailbox. Then, when the loan application goes to processing, for some reason they refuse to use emails. We were quickly approved as our credits are over 800 FICO and LTV is over 40%.
Then it started getting nasty. They have an internal department called Project Team who reviews condos. In the beginning the processing department were so slow to respond and the rate was only good for 60 days. Then I found out about this department who was asking these questions and apparently were not getting answers from the HOA, then I told them I can help by contacting the HOA myself only if they could let me know what were the questions. Long story short, I helped them with all of their questions, the HOA, the legal team, the insurance company for HOA and condo helped with all the questions. The complaint escalated to the Executive Office as I was waking up at 5 to try to talk with Ohio, several times having to leave messages to 4 or 5 people, writing emails to the supervisors! Then to their supervisors.
But in the middle of this my husband and I began to realize they were set their minds long ago to not give us this loan for one reason or other. I asked them earlier to make their decision so we could take the application somewhere else so we would not go through the calling, waiting, waking up early but they kept us waiting. We are confident we are getting refinance we want somewhere else, but Chase needs to stop this nightmarish practice of traumatizing the whole experience of refinancing of honest people who strive to live a life with excellent credit score so we can afford to refinance for shorter mortgage term. I wonder if we should group and bring a class action suit. I contacted a real estate lawyer and it seems a long shot individually, as there was not a precise prejudice against us personally. This is a big corporation, they know how to do it, but it is not right!

We have our mortgage with Chase. An insurance company that we did not have or authorize was able to bill and receive an insurance payment out of our escrow account.

After 2 hours on the phone with several different people, they still could not take a payment from us to go to our escrow account so the insurance company would get paid on the 4th.
At one end point we were transferred to a woman who would not stop talking long enough for us to explain what we needed. The mortgage is only in my husband's name so they would not talk to me. Even when we had this lady on speaker phone and my husband asked for her to talk to me so I could explain what we needed, she still would not listen or speak to me. She got an attitude with us.

We had a USDA Rural Development loan, which we took out in July of 2008. It was sold by the original mortgage company to Chase almost immediately, and we have been with them ever since.
In August of 2013, we had a family catastrophe and around October or November, we were late on our first payment. It's been a game of catch-up since then. My husband became unemployed in November of 2014, and we applied for a modification. After not hearing from anyone for a period of time, after applying, we contacted them several times before they responded and told us they needed even more documentation - some of which had been included in the application. We sent them what they requested, but then they came back and said it wasn't in the format they needed. We had the format changed, and this too was not correct. Each person we spoke with advised a different format was needed, and none of the formats matched what the other representative had advised. Finally, we had everything, and they told us it would be sent to the underwriters; they said we would hear back in a few days.
After 4 days, we called, and they said we were missing documentation, and that nothing had gone to the underwriters. This was December 23, and I was lucky there was anyone in our HR Office who get me the documentation I needed in time. We sent it over and were told the file was now complete. Fast forward to late January and several voicemail messages to our representative with no response or update, and we were broke. We decided to file for bankruptcy and set our appointment for February 4. On February 3, a packet from Chase arrived, telling us that they had decided we could pay $10 per month for the next 3 months as a mortgage payment; after those 3 months, our account be under review again for possible continuation or other options.
We filed for bankruptcy, due to our other bills stacking up, and Chase, obviously, cancelled the agreement. We stated in the bankruptcy paperwork that we would like to keep our house and negotiate other options. We tried to call our representative, but she wouldn't return our calls. She did call our attorney and said she couldn't speak with us due to the bankruptcy, but that Chase is open to working with us.

He said that really we just needed to have it by END of that month, not ON JANUARY 1 and then when end of January came and we accumulated the money due for first payment due, I called the company and since HE DIDN'T ANSWER I talked to some lady who obviously didn't care or didn't know anything because she said and I VERIFIED IT again with her that it only needed to be DATED POSTMARKED end of month, so we did that.
WE SEND THE MONEY DATED JANUARY 31, 2015 VIA FEDEX and just last week they sent the money back saying I broke agreement that I NEED TO HAVE THEM RECEIVE THAT MONEY on or before end of month NOT DATED POSTMARKED that date which I explained that whoever I talked to told me twice before I even sent it this information. I was redirected to a manager who said she would try to fix it understanding what I was saying.
Today she calls and says no, they didn't approve it and that our house will go on sale March 1. JUST WHEN I COULD BREATH AGAIN, they are trying to take our home again, IT WAS NOT OUR FAULT. It arrived to them 4 days after the ending of month and they want to take it. THEY WILL NEVER TAKE MY FAMILY HOME, OVER MY DEAD BODY. I cannot go thru another modification process. ESPECIALLY when that so called MANAGER says "IN ALL HONESTY your income has changed" since it's winter and my significant other works outside, and it would make income lower.. bla bla bla... That's not in all honesty at all when in ALL HONESTY IT WAS THEIR MISTAKE NOT MINE! They are making my life miserable. IF I COULD FIND A WAY TO SHUT THEM DOWN I WOULD!

Three years ago the county had a 911 address change giving every home here an actual street name and number not just an RR or a road name for emergency purposes. Chase was notified of this but EVERY year at least once I get another phone call or letter about this. They can't seem to change the property address on their computers,no matter how many times I tell them it is the SAME HOUSE. Their bills get here, they get their taxes money and statements, etc. even the insurance co has sent them letters regarding this. They are so stupid that I refuse to answer their calls anymore.

For 3 years, I have sent my mtg payment in on the 7th. That is my payday. I have had this house for 15 years and though I hit rock bottom a few times after divorce, medical issue and jobless, i always paid my mtg before the placed ended up in an auction. Once was a forbearance and that was in lieu of a modification as I witnessed before my eyes people losing their homes in this trap after being told to "stop paying their mtg for 3 months and then apply for modification; you will get more urgent service.” I know that because it was said to me. I sent payments in via Western Union to ensure they were applied to my account and sold everything I could to keep up the payment... losing my home was not an option.
So, I am now receiving calls from Chase every month, "this is an attempt to collect a debt" is their introduction. My payment is not late until the 16th. I am a paycheck away from the street unless I sell my things; I am self-employed in a dying industry. Just the same, I pay 600.00 a month plus 200 in ins/tax. The house is nice enough. I would like to grow old here. This sudden hounding is worrying me. I know when Chase wants a house, the lengths they go to are traps in disguise as helping hand. Has anyone experienced this? I would like to consider CALS as it is harassing in view of their predatory nature and my vulnerable state. Thank you.

We have been trying to get a loan modification for our house since the summer of 2014. Our "specialist" assigned to our case is never available so I always have to speak to someone else. In doing so, I get different stories or different answers of what else we need to do. I have faxed over everything I was told I needed, more than once because our information expired, or according I whom I spoke to just wasn't correct. I feel that Chase keeps dropping the ball on getting this issue resolved. I call almost everyday to check in the status and that's when I am told I need something else yet again.
I was actually able to speak to my "specialist" on Wednesday and she informed me I needed proof of employment. Again. Got it and faxed it over, even called to make sure she received it and she told me yes, everything is ready to go to the underwriters. I felt I was finally getting somewhere. I called just last night to check up on it, where I had to speak to someone else because my "specialist" wasn't available, and i was informed that my case had no reason to go to the underwriter. What? She told me that I "verbally opted out of the loan modification program on 2/11." I was transferred to a manager, by the customer servicer's decision, where once again I feel I was given the runaround.
To continue this application process, they have to follow their policy and review my phone call on 2/11 to confirm that I did not opt out of the program. What sense does that really make to go through this much stress and problems to just give up and say "Never mind" to her? I am beyond stressed and overwhelmed with he lack of communication and simple policies that Chase should be showing. They have been nothing but a problem to deal with since the beginning of this whole process. I just want someone to settle this, quickly, so we can be okay again. I don't even know how this is going to be worked out, or how long it will take. Just an unreal situation in this day and age with all of the "help" available.

I strongly do not recommend Chase Mortgage for any type of home loan. Chase representatives are not attentive to their file and inefficient in handling the loan process in a timely manner. Moreover, they are inexperience with their investors' regulations and standards. I was working with a buyer with the Sale of a condo, unfortunately, the buyer decided to go with Chase Mortgage in Metairie, Louisiana location. The buyer has great credit and income so that was not an issue.
However, Chase did not check the condominium association's standards before having buyer invest money i.e, application, inspection fee, appraisal and other charges plus her time from work. Buyer was out of pocket several hundreds dollars when Chase notified buyer that loan may be declined. Chase was ineffective in their loan process. Condo Assoc standards should have been checked when buyer credit and income simultaneously. Why waste Borrower's money and time and then decline loan?

Chase bought my mortgage back in 2008. I had to file for chapter 13 bankruptcy in 2009 due to the recession causing my business to fail. I filed chapter 13 to keep my home - problem one: I was still mailed my second mortgage and paid it until it was discovered I wasn't to be making the payments, because the second would be stripped. It took the Bankruptcy judge threatening to cite Chase for not releasing those funds back to me for months. Problem two and the current problem: My bankruptcy ended in August of 2014 - In October, I received notice I was "missing a payment" and was being nailed with late fees in a "we are confirming your debt, if correct don't answer" type of letters. I hit the roof, I began calling asking what date of the alleged missing payment. I was quoted August of 2014..
I provided them proof of payment (bank statement) that they were wrong and to remove the late fees and to credit my account. The associate was so rude the call had to be escalated to a manager when she said she wouldn't do it. The escalations manager couldn't tell me an exact date, would review it and could only send me a copy of my payment history AKA, you find it yourself... When I tried to call the manager back, after receiving the payment history, and hopefully her inquiry would issue an exact date... Another manager had to take the call and they had to go all the way back to June of 2012 and verified that as the date of the missing payment - 2012! I went again to the bank records and provided them documents that I had made two payments in May 2012 and they hadn't credited me with the first payment. I called to confirm the crediting and fee removal... They hadn't received the documents, please call back...
I call back a week later and their hold time was estimated at 26-30 minutes... I called back three days later and was immediately connected to a "senior escalations" manager who tried to tell me the case was closed, they had sent a letter saying the payment documentation wasn't accurate. Again, I hit the roof! I literally told them they couldn't be playing hopscotch on picking a date hoping I might not have payment history. Either credit my account or give me the exact month of where I missed a payment. This senior escalation manager placed the account under an audit and are continuing to scratch it's head why the computer says a payment was missed despite the fact they have received exactly 12 payments a year for the past five years...
To have allowed such a situation to occur without any form of notice, to have told the courts that my history was accurate at the time of the bankruptcy completion, to try and fine me 4 years is obscene! To have a system that cannot have special notation of a missed payment and yet they try and play "pin-the-tail-on-the-customer" who is proving them wrong with a payment history is a serious reflection of how bad their accounting is. This is clearly a human error compounded by lazy employees who don't care if the system is right or wrong.
Frankly, I question if this is payback for having a second mortgage stripped and if this type of shakedown is legal. If, big word, I missed a payment back in 2010 or 2011, I should be charged for that amount, instead, they want a current house payment, which of course has only risen a hundred bucks since then. No, Chase is preventing me from getting refinanced, is applying fees that won't be reversed until they are proven wrong and my credit rating is being hit again. Am I angry with Chase? Yes. Five months later they still can't tell me the exact month to clear this up, five months of fees, and headaches of dealing with arrogant, rude and unprofessional people who think you are the jerk for daring to question their accounting. Next stop, writing my Senators and contacting the local media for a consumer segment on TV and ask if any one else is thinking of getting a Tort lawyer involved. This is WRONG.

I applied for a loan on a property that was fully paid and owned by me, and was told that I was approved. After paying for the appraisal on the property, I was notified by mail that I was approved and also the amount approved according to the appraisal or the value of the property. They made me close a Bank of America credit card (lowest interest rate that I had) - according the loan processor, it was required by the underwriter. They then send a fax requesting their name on the homeowner insurance. After all of this was done, I did not received any more phone calls from anyone.
After numerous attempts, I finally called asking to talk to a manager. That's when I finally received a call from the original loan representative letting me know about what happened. He also told me the appraisal was only good for 3 months. He basically said only good luck, and that was it.

I couldn't apply for a modification on my 2nd mortgage with JP Morgan Chase until Umpqua was done and it was completed in 6/2013, they just now 1/27/15 COMPLETED MY MODIFICATION. I am not clear on this recent judgement against Chase if 2nd mortgages are included in the settlement, but it should be because it has taken nearly 20 months to complete my request to modify my 2nd mortgage. The options they gave me were: I can release my home to them if it's my first mortgage (WHICH IT'S NOT NOR IS IT AN ACTUAL OPTION) or repay in full the amount due of $50k+. The reason stated by them is because NOW that I was recently laid off I cannot repay them so they won't set up payment options.
Had they finished up the modification in a timely manner (6 mo at least) I would have been repaying them already. Every time I sent in information requested they would switch my modification to a new representative who would then ask for more information and they would say they had all they needed, then switch representatives again.

With all these reality and exposure tv shows maybe they should look at doing one about Chase's mortgage process. With their underwriters violating federal housing as well as privacy laws under a ruse of claiming to need such for the so called new federal regulations of verifying where funds came from and went to... but in reality, as you can see from the numerous complaints, it appears that JP Morgan Chase is running an application fee scam on the public in the housing sector. Then we will have to have the same grievance on why our FBI white collar crimes division has not investigated the multitude of grievances that upon an audit will find the majority of those they bilked out an application and appraisal fee, qualified for a loan by moving on to another mortgage company - who by the way, has the same risk management definitions as a CHASE Underwriter.

I have spent the last 8 months trying to resolve a situation with CHASE Home Finance. (Funny they don't have a tag on FB) Back in June of last year I received, via registered mail, a delinquency notice from Cook County for unpaid taxes threatening tax sale if the delinquent taxes were not paid by July 1. Knowing that CHASE pays my taxes on my condo and the notice directed me to contact the company that pays my taxes. I took the notice to CHASE BANK to investigate this matter. I knew the parcel number did NOT match my mortgage parcel tax ID number and asked them to INVESTIGATE this notice that was sent to "occupant" at my address.
18 days later I receive a letter from CHASE telling me they have paid those taxes from my escrow and I need to file papers to add this unknown parcel to my mortgage. I called them immediately to tell them I NEVER asked them to pay anything or add any parcels to my mortgage and made a trip downtown with my mortgage papers and the notice in my hand. In a matter of 5 minutes I was told that the delinquency notice did NOT pertain to me, that it was just an address and to not worry about it. And that the parcel tax ID had an OVERAGE.
Once I returned home, I called CHASE to again tell them that they should NOT have taken money from MY escrow to pay these taxes, that they belong to someone other than me and that I confirmed with Cook County that the taxes were NOT mine to pay. After numerous phone calls, special INVESTIGATIONS, talking to a number of supervisors, escalated investigations, Half refunds, escrow shortage notices, mortgage recalculations and the incredible frustration and maybe an ulcer. On 12-27 (almost 7 months later) I thought the matter was finally resolved and all monies were returned to my escrow account.
On January 13, I received a letter from CHASE stating that the erroneous parcel number is mine and the charges to my escrow have been deducted accordingly. WHAT!!!! I too received a letter from the CHASE Home Finance Tax Department Executive Office that an INVESTIGATION has been initiated due to a complaint I had made to the Illinois Attorney General. Today (1/29) I had a call from CHASE to tell me I should deposit the check they had finally sent to me after the 12-27-14 completion (or so I thought) one of the most grueling, most frustrating matters of my life. (OMFG) And I am serious. Even after all of the crap I went through being beaten, smashed with a car, dying, and the 2 years it took me to recover.
It kind of pairs with the numerous hours (nearly a full time job) I spent on the phone resolving the issues around my insurance claims with BLUE CROSS/BLUE SHIELD. Even though the 3rd EXECUTIVE consultant was informed by myself that the taxes were NOT mine to pay and that they should have never been taken from my account and that I am pretty sure it is illegal to take monies from someone without authorization to pay someone else's taxes. She still stuck to her guns and told me that I was responsible for the taxes AND the penalty fees and the next years installment fees for 2013. OMFG - These people are insane and taking me with them.
In search of another confirmation, I have called the management company of my condo association / buildings to inquire about the tax parcel number and they were able to tell me the ACTUAL owner of the erroneous tax ID number. THE OWNER OF THE TAX ID THAT MY BANK PAID ON IS IN THE BUILDING NEXT DOOR. Same unit number but different building number. JP MORGAN CHASE HOME FINANCE, did NOT do any investigating. Those lazy ** did not contact anyone, just paid the bill, made a mistake, don't want to own the mistake and are trying to make me pay.
I AM AT MY WITS' END WITH THIS SAGA. Though I was told by the last Chase employee I spoke with today, that this matter will be finally be put to rest. I AM NOT CONVINCED. JP MORGAN CHASE HOME FINANCE should be outed on this. Because it is ridiculous and uncalled for business practices. Mere common sense would solve this problem. Or at least one would think.
"LIKE" IF YOU AGREE - "SHARE" IF YOU MEAN IT. Don't worry - It is ALL completely the truth and have documentation to back it up.

Chase Mortgage must be the black sheep of the company because customer service was HORRIBLE. Avoid lending from them!
My appraisal was said to take 2-4 days but ended up taking 30 days. I was way pass the escrow closing date. I trusted my loan officer when he blamed it on the appraiser. I believe him when he told me he has never seen such a long delay in his career. The appraisal cost was included in my loan application fee. So when the appraisal was delayed and my loan was eventually force to fall through, I asked for a refund on my application fee. It felt reasonable for Chase's mishap.
My loan officer turned and blamed the delay on the house and not Chase. When I escalated it to his manager that there was NEVER any communication to me of such an issue, I was getting the run around that it was internal communication and it is not disclosed to the buyer. Also since most of my communication was over the phone calling asking my loan officer for updates on the appraisal, I had no written proof; they said the delay was on the appraiser. A refund was not possible.
I am pretty much still in shock on how they made this process so difficult. I thought I was getting a great deal to have the appraisal included and paid for but definitely learned my lesson to pick my own!! In the end I felt they just wanted my application fee and never intended on lending out money. Now I'm house-less and out $600 for the loan application plus inspection fee.

I was inquiring about lowering my interest rate on the loan to lower my payment. They were very nice and started asking all the questions, which I answered. They mentioned lowering payment by extending loan to a 20 or 30 year and I said I am 76 years old, I don't want a thirty year loan and it be done without extending the term. They said they would see what they could do under new guidelines. A few weeks went by and they contacted me and said they could help - that with the government's new standards they could cut payment almost in half. Now I'm really interested. They told me to start making a payment of 850 on the first of the month. I said "I would but what about the rest of the payment should I make it?" They said "No" so I made the first payment.
I got a notice from bank about late payment. I called the number of the contact person handling my loan, she said not to worry it would be ok. This went on for about 6 months. I kept asking with every payment how is this going to work without extending my loan. People I discussed this with at work heard me ask over and over "how can you do this without changing the length of my loan." They said with new government rules when all was final and they told me I was accepted. I find out they wrote a 30 year loan added all the late fees and unpaid payment to a ball on payment at end of the loan. I said "I didn't want that.

When I receive the Estimate closing fee, it came up to $6900 without explanation. When I complained to his boss (his boss: James **), he was a Jerk too. It took two weeks to get back to me and he did not explain it. Same thing for the Executive office. I am so tired of dealing with Chase, and I will bring it to the Attorney General office.

In 2003 my wife and I paid off the Mortgage we had with Citi Mortgage in 2007. However they sold all their Mortgages out to Washington Mutual Mortgage. Citi Mortgage sent the Convince of Paid in Full Documents with all of their Mortgage. However the Documents was not properly handled at all. In September 2008 I was doing a Mortgage to pay off an Second Mortgage that I had with Great Basin Bank of Fallon, NV. Not being aware of the fact that this loan should have not ever been a second Mortgage in the first place, as at the time I received this I had no First Mortgage as Citi Mortgage was Paid in Full from the Estate Money from my Wives Fathers Estate left for her in 2002.
The nightmare started because of my health issues and I was not mentally able to understand what was happening with our Mortgage and the American Escrow Title Company did not catch that the Citi Mortgage had been Paid in Full and we had the Deed Title from them long before the Wells Fargo Mortgage came about in 2008. So where do I go with a messed up deal like this, been trying to handle it, the Attorney General of Nevada mailed a letter to Wells Fargo Mortgage to help get it straightened out for me. But all Wells Fargo Mortgage was tell me that I have to get Washington Mutual Mortgage to pay me the money they Paid to Washington Mutual Mortgage that was the First Mortgage that, never was made at all as the Citi Mortgage was all ready Paid in Full 3 or 4 years before Washington Mutual Mortgage ever in the Picture at all.
Now I have to Deal with JP Morgan Chase Mortgage as they now have all of Washington Mutual Mortgage, and they're not doing anything, I had faxed all of the papers from Citi Mortgage 5 times now, and walked the paper in to Chase Bank and they Faxed all the paper to The Department, that someone would get back to me within 48 hour. That never happened at all to this date. About the loan that I have been paying to Wells Fargo Mortgage for the last 6 plus years. All I want is my Money Back Plus all the Interest & damages that, they have caused me. Today while I was at the Doctors and Lab taking care of my health issue, Chase call me to ask me what they can do for me. The massage was on my answering machine, and wouldn't you know it they was not, where I could get them back on the phone today, as they're calling from the Central Time Zone two hours ahead of my time. The Attorney General told me that, he could not do any more for me by law, that I would have to hire and Real Estate Lawyer to help with the matter. Don't have the money to hire one at all. I for the life of me don't know, why the American Title Escrow Company and the Banks that made the mistakes on all of this cannot get it all worked out and just get me my money back to me?

This is an unbelievable case. I had a paid up mortgage with Bank of America when they sold my account to JP Morgan who within 8 days of receiving my account and without contacting me filed for foreclosure. JP Morgan insisted that they do not have to accept the BofA modification and did not participate in HAMP and refused same. I continued to pay the mortgage payment to MARIX Servicing LLC and they still continued with foreclosure proceedings. I hired an attorney who was no contest with the high powered BofA and JP Morgan attorneys. She ultimately released all defendants and we were evicted. Prior to the eviction we offered to repurchase our home at the current market value which was at $235,000 per evaluation. They even signed two stipulations that they would work with us on a repurchase. They came back with the original purchase price of $520,000 and the same modification we had with BofA if I should release all defendants.
Needless to say I refused as that would put me in nearly $1,000,000.00 in long term debt and a grossly undervalued house. They sold the house AS-IS for $370,000 and never offered to work with us. I filed a complaint with the CFPB who ultimately closed my complaint without explanation even though I sent them paperwork showing that we had a paid-up modification and continued to pay the JP Morgan servicer. They totally destroyed my credit, put me in great debt and I lost most of my lifetime belongings. Had to move in with Son. The Justice Department looked the other way and gave me a name of a person handling illegal foreclosure financing which was a farce. I haven't quit fighting and will continue to fight until someone pays attention.

I want to file a complaint for Chase mortgage services. I chose Chase for my mortgage services before few days when I started to look for my lender for my home buying process. I have been really very disappointed with Chase bank mortgage services. I was given a pre-qualification letter with 3.875 mortgage rate. When we wanted to start the loan process for the house - all of sudden the banker told me that now Chase bank has changed some policies and I need to have 100k on after paying 20% down payment for my property. I should have been informed if policies have changed so I can make a informed decision. Then we were asked us to do some conditional loan approval process which took more than 2 days to finish.
I was about to close deal on a house and I had to back out from middle of it because of delay in the process. This is totally unacceptable - as a lender for mortgage the bank and the service people should understand the buyer's situation and should be able to stick to what they have offered us when we presented them all the documents. I want to file this as a complaint against the banker and the lending manager that the customers are not being kept in loop when policies are changed. The bank shows a different behavior when buyers actually going through the process and need time critical answers from lender. Please don't chose Chase at your lender.

Applied for loan modification, went back and forth with lost documents, run around for approx 2 yrs. I received a knock at the door. Chase was starting foreclosure process. I sought help from local Housing council. (Chase looked at them like pee-ons and still gave us run around telling me I didn't qualify for payment option so much down then so much added on to regular monthly payments.) They also said, "We will just send the money back to you" when I told them I was gonna send them lump sum anyway. Denied mods AFTER trial payments, not once but twice. I wrote to NYS Banking Association, (Chase looked at them a little more serious, but not much) gave me a ridiculous balloon payment mod that no one could explain where it came from, not Chase, not the Housing Council and the rep said, "Just sign it and worry about the balloon when the time comes."
After 4 YRS of run around, Chase finally takes me to court. I stopped making repairs 2 years ago. My significant other and I finally split after 17 YRS. I move to a low income apartment when one came available and because my utility expenses are too high, my furnace is acting up and winter is quickly approaching. The final day in court, Nov 8, 2013 and Chase comes back with yet another ridiculous Mod (after trial payments of course). I refuse offer. I receive settlement offer. Chase wants me to reapply for mod. House is still in foreclosure limbo. I opted out of the national settlement for 1 big reason. In April 2013, Chase SOLD the servicing of my loan and settlement clearly stated I was no longer eligible because of it.
Aug 2014, Chase rep calls (Again) asking me what my intentions were for the mod they offered. WHAT? Explained to her about court, tells me house has "FALLEN" out of foreclosure, and wants me to apply for yet another MODIFICATION. I tell the lady, "I'm not going to do anything. I don't live there anymore but allow my 30 yr old son to stay there." Oct 2014 Chase has released the mortgage but I still owe them the original amount plus 5 yrs 7 month of their "Lost interest." Interest, that would not have been lost, if Chase had handled the MODIFICATION process, in a TIMELY manner. Now I may be stuck with a house that needs MAJOR repair, that I can't afford.
I will have to move because the house will be an "Asset" causing me to be over the income guidelines. Problem is it's winter again, the furnace doesn't work, the hot water tank barely works (my son put an old one in). I'm a single mother, unemployed. The house is barely liveable, has been vandalized and vagrants have been suspected of staying there (which is why my Son stays there, security) oh and there are no appliances.

I was unemployed from March of 2010 to April of 2011. When I did find work, it was at a substantially lower salary. In June of 2011, I filed for bankruptcy but did not include the house in it. I got through it all and still had my very high mortgage with Chase reinstated without issue. However, things remained tight and back in May of 2014, I contacted Chase to see if I could get a loan modification at a lower rate than my fixed 5.25% to get a little relief. They told me I didn't meet the criteria for a modification but they offered me a forbearance plan. My mistake was accepting it.
The initial explanation I got was that the plan allows you to pay a reduced amount for 6 months and at the end of 6 months you go back to your regular payment and then a payment for the deficit is also due. As I got into the process I was told my credit rating would take a hit because they would report a missed payment after 30 days. I didn't quite understand what they were trying to do because even at the reduced payment (which amounted to a little more than a few hundred dollars a month) I was covering the principal and interest so the only thing that was being shorted was my escrow account. So from my point of view I never missed an entire payment. I merely paid a reduced amount. However, my statements from Chase printed a missed full payment, even though I had paid nearly 87% of it on time for 5 months.
Well today, they told me that on Nov. 1, the date of what would have been the 6th forbearance payment, amount I needed to pay to keep my credit from being hit would be a full payment now and then another full payment by the 15th of the month! When I ran the numbers of what I actually paid versus what was due over the last 5 months, I was NOT a full mortgage payment behind. Long story short, by using the forbearance plan, I am going to end up paying $650 more at the end of the plan than I would have otherwise. The really sad thing is that I hung onto enough money in my savings to make up the deficit for what I would have been behind at the end of the 6 months.
Not only did they make me jump through hoops to get accepted, they did a terrible job disclosing the details of the program. I would have been much better off just to use the money I had in savings to make up the difference and pay the full amount and not even bother with this questionable program. A word to the wise: avoid using the forbearance with Chase. It really does nothing for you and is a money maker for them. If I had the money I would hire a lawyer to go after them for consumer fraud with this program, but of course, if I could afford a lawyer, I wouldn't be bothering with trying to get some mortgage relief.

Yep, I had a documented hardship, and asked Chase for a Modification almost 2 years ago. It took them almost a year to finally approve it instead of foreclosing. Yesterday, I was reading over the Mod agreement and found in the little tiny print a clause that stipulates I can't sell the home without written permission from them... forever. If I try to sell it anyways, they will require the full amount of the loan amount, or foreclose due to breach of contract. Two weeks ago, I finalized adoption of my 3 grandchildren and need a bigger house before I zone for good so they and my wife and two bio kids will be all set up. I explained all this to Chase and told them they should have helped me understand the consequences. They took advantage of me at a time I just asked for help.

We continued to pay on time for over 2 years and when applying for credit we were told that Chase was not reporting our loan as being paid. We again went into the same branch and was given the run around collecting court papers and other unnecessary documents only to be told that it was impossible to reaffirm our loan as too much time had passed and that the lawyer was to have done this not us.
Why did not the bank employee tell us that back in 2009? Because CHASE is just trying to steal our home for little or nothing. Some government agency ought to step in and investigate their practices. If the mortgage is being paid and is current why is it not being reported? If we would have chose to lose our home it would be different. These communistic people are controlling people's future and are making many homeless due to their practices and Customer service is a joke.

We have the feeling that we will not get the re-mod and we cannot get a loan for the arrears that they caused because they did not work with us on a forbearance that we asked for as of January 2014. Now it is August 2014. Consequences are we will have to fight to save our home and spend money that should go to the mortgage on lawyers because of the delays.

I received a loan modification in 2013, I was laid off on October 3, 2013 working 40 hrs a week. I was laid off from October 2013 to 5/21/2014. I was cut off my unemployment. I was denied an extension. After December 12, 2013, I return back to the same job thru a temporary Service, same amount of dollar but less hours. I was working 16-25 hours a week. I got behind in my mortgage for 7 months. I re-gain full time employment in April 2014, with more money. I was denied a re-payment plan, or assistant with my rearage. I'm so upset, I worked so hard as a single mother. I now have anxiety from this. It seems as though they help you more when you're not working. I'm currently working 40 hrs a week. I'm scared!!! I need help with my rearage to save my home. Please help me!!!

He had the job for over (5) months and only completed 20% of the work then abandon the job after he was paid $25,000.00.
I gave Chase all the required documentation to get the contractor name remove from payee on the check, but Chase refused and said that it had to protect the abandon contractor. I had to spend my personal money to complete the job and Chase still fail to drop the contractor name from the check. Chase continual to protect the bad contractor over the homeowner.

However, Chase continual to fight the homeowner and protect the bad contractor.

Every month I get receive a late invoice to pay off my mortgage loan. The reason is that Chase puts a 19c stamp on the loan invoice. Since I live in Malaysia (next to Singapore) the letter takes a month to arrive. With 19c stamp it will not be sent to me by air mail so the invoice arrives late. I pay immediately but I always get charged for a late fee. Every single month - for several years. They claim it is my fault because I should pay the invoice the first of every month - although I do not yet have an invoice. But that is not logical. People pay only when they receive the invoice.

My husband and I took out a mortgage with Chase. We were doing good until I lost my job. We tried to refinance 3 times: 1. When I lost my job; 2 when my unemployment was cut; 3 when my unemployment was all done. Each time we were told we made too much even though our household income lost 25000$ a year. Then after they foreclosed we were contacted by our mortgage broker and told that there was part of our mortgage that would have let us keep our house and reduce our payments. All we had to do was call and request this. We didn't know or realize this until it was too late. Why didn't Chase just do what was put in our paper work? We now live in a travel trailer year round and have nothing but now they are going after wage garnishment. As far as I'm concerned Chase Bank is not a place people should go for a place to handle any kind of money or contracts.

I have had the same problems with CHASE bank as I have seen written before. They smile and say they're doing everything to help you, but they talk of lost paperwork, different person assigned, phone hold, delays, etc. In the end I had my house sold for more money than they foreclosed and received. Is there any person at CHASE bank that has any common sense that can help?

Chase continue to Lie to consumers. I was deny for a modification. I have been sending in the info they requested for 6 months over and over and today they tell me I am not qualify for a modification because my household income was too low to. If they lower my APR from 7.5% to at least 2%, we can afford our home but they refuse to do anything to help us save our home. Chase continue to steal from the American people and hide their PROFIT overseas while we pay their taxes.

We applied for the modification on February 15, 2014. We still do not have an answer. I have documentation of ALL of the communications between Chase and myself, and we are still being told we just need to send more documents. Even though I have been told by specialists (other than the one assigned to our case) that everything was present, legible, and in order, exact words "Nothing more needed at this time." My husband lost his income in 2012, and this is our third attempt at a modification. We do NOT want to lose our home; however, WE NEED TO KNOW WHERE WE STAND!!!

I am having a hard time about this but here goes. The bank repossessed my car on Thursday. We went to the bank and went over all our payments and showed that we were up-to-date and they said that my last 38 days late even though they cashed my payment that day. They wanted to refigure the 6700.00 that we owed but with just my checks not my husband's even though both our names are on the loan. They told me to call at 8 the following morning which I did. Now this was Friday and I called and they gave me the run-around about having to wait for the charges from the towing company. What they didn't know was that I had already called them to ask for the charges and they said they only charge the 40 dollars a day.
Well at 4 yesterday after getting the run around by the bank they told me that they had said that they had told me that it would be 24 hours when the paperwork started. I said that they did not or I would not of called every 2 hours and, "you told me to give you 2 more hours and call back." I told them that I felt that this was a scam so they could get more money. They had me on speaker so I had her on speaker and at that time my husband spoke up and said that they could of told us this yesterday. She got real upset because she wanted to know who was in the room with me and I told her it was my husband. At this time she told me that I should of said at the beginning of the recorded conversation that he was also in the room. She began to scold me for not letting her know that he was in the room.
By now I am crying because I am mad. I told her that they lied to me and I am refusing the reschedule. I had made payments every month and showed good faith to pay my bill. I said that I would have to see what my choices are. She started trying to talk to me and I told her "you know I am a senior and when they find out how you treated me and I get all my documentation together, you will lose more than just my loan." I am just bummed out because the car would of been paid for in 9 months. I am not the first person that they did this to. I feel that if I had been on welfare they would of left the vehicle here. But they thought they could get more money from us.

He pushed it through with no problems then he tagged a credit line on the account for 10k driving my payment up. I never revived the 10k and reported it to Chase.

Chase Bank tricked me when I applied for loan modification. Lead me through the hoops for months, and like others, kept me faxing repeatedly the same paperwork over and over again over the period of about 3 months. At the very end of the process, I was denied help and was told that I didn't qualify because I made too much (I had zero income whatsoever, and spelled that out repeatedly in a P/L statement). But when I called and spoke to the supervisor, I was informed that that was NOT the real reason. The REAL reason I did not qualify for loan modification was that the investor who held the mortgage has caveats - that I'd only qualify if I were disabled or my spouse was dead. And... here's the kicker: Chase said that they COULD NOT have told me that up front when I applied because it would have been discriminatory. So they put me through months of agony for naught, knowing it was all a sham.

I started the Home Mortgage Loan Modification process with Chase in approximately Feb of 2014. Within 3 months of their crap I realized something was terribly wrong and they had no intentions of helping me in any way. I was continually lied to, I was asked for everything from my first born to my place of birth and they still kept coming up with excuses as to why I was still not in compliance to continue the loan process. It was at this point I decided to do a little research on the internet and discovered that I was right. What a bunch of rotten scammers. I made the decision to stop the process due to Post Traumatic Stress and why bother wasting my time and stressing out over something that was never going to happen.
They now claim each time I call to make my payment I need to opt out of the program over and over again. What a bunch of idiots! My boyfriend sent an email to Amy Klobuchar office and we got a call back! They have referred me to their office here in MN. I intend to call and file a complaint tomorrow with my senator's office and see what other options I can take to help stop Chase from taking advantage of hard working people. They make me sick and I would like nothing better than to see them all go up in a ball of fire that was ignited with their ill gotten money!

I began a long and tedious process of obtaining a mortgage from this manipulative and inferior lending giant in November 2013 and it was one of the largest financial errors I have made in my life. I was assigned Rachel ** NMLS Identifier: ** Direct: 800 667 8424 ext ** Fax: **, ** as a mortgage consultant. Rachel did absolutely nothing from the start but place barriers in front of our family, degrade my character and discriminate against my occupation. As a result, the application was declined on the grounds of employment verification.
I am a contract employee who works in 90 day segments. I have been in the profession for 13 years and have had no longer than 5 days of lag time between contracts. This gap was quite simply, to move to the location of the new contract. Although I displayed this history and admirable income, cash flow, investments and credit. I was denied a mortgage, NOT based on employment as suggested, rather based on CHASE MORTGAGE GREED.
I was buying my father’s property as my mother is ill and requires my father to relocate. I was borrowing 75K on 372K equity. I had paid for homeowners insurance (therefore not giving the bank a monthly payment to operate on in addition to my mortgage payment), title fees were to be paid directly at closing by me (which Chase estimated at 17k and the title company estimated at 534.00). Given my profession, payment history, credit, cash flow, savings and investments, CHASE MORTGAGE knew I would not be late, default on the loan and moreover knew I had full intentions of not taking the loan to term. Therefore, they lose as the above actions profit the firm if I default and they cannot generate revenue from interest.
Rachel knew it, Chase knew it, the title company knew it and my broker knew it. So from the start of the process this big bank disgrace of a firm was trying to get out from under the loan. They were successful in complicating my family’s future but they will never defeat our family. I advise anyone with the means, to avoid at all costs Rachel **, filling the pockets of this big bank, or any for that manner and turn this market back to the American people and own land, rather than rent from manipulative conniving and unethical banks which base a business model on GREED. Not only did they discriminate against me for my occupation, they solidified the practice of cash purchasing and taking the bank completely out of my life. If you are currently making the significant error of corresponding with Rachel **, I strongly advise you quickly ask for a new representative and strongly reconsider obtaining a mortgage from Chase.

Attempting to close a real estate transaction. I am the seller and the buyer is using Chase Mortgage. It has taken Chase more than 3 weeks to re-verify buyers employment because they do not complete loans within their own system. They partition out their loan process to 3rd parties. As a result this has brought the transaction to complete stop for nearly 3 weeks. I am purchasing a home once mine sells and now that transaction and the one the sellers are trying to close has also come to a halt. DO NOT USE CHASE IF YOU WANT YOUR LOAN TO BE COMPLETED IN A TIMELY MANNER.

Someone stole my mail from my mailbox in Feb 2014 so I had to close my account. Opened a new account. Since I had checks to be mailed in the mailbox, one of them being to Chase, I contacted all the payees to let them know that the checks had been stolen or if they happened to show up, don't deposit them as the account had been closed. Well, stupid idiots at Chase went ahead and deposited the check. It bounced, account closed. I gave them the courtesy of calling and offering to pay my Feb account online direct to an operator and the damn person at Chase took my debit card number and failed to process the payment. Since my wife had been in bankruptcy, they said they could not contact me with any status of my payment.
Now it is June, and I have made all the payments on the loan unknowing that they never did process a Feb payment. Just this week, we received foreclosure papers from a two bit law firm, saying that the bank had never received the Feb payment and that they were foreclosing! What???? No notice, nothing. Who the hell do they think they are? I should sue their **! Total incompetency. No recourse as the Feds, court systems, politicians are all as bad and in bed with them all.

Made a payment over the phone. We kept getting calls our payment was late. I told the person we made the payment, gave them the info and they basically called me a liar. This went on for months - we were treated so rudely! I contacted my credit union, gave them proof of the payment and calls kept coming. Over and over again we were accused of lying to get them off the phone. We tried to be nice because we figured it wasn't the persons fault but they were so nasty. We even received letters in the mail saying we were in default of our loan. After months of this Chase informs me I can get a number from my credit union that will show where they put my money. So basically after months of phone calls, nasty people and threatening letters, my credit union was nice enough to fix their mistake for them. Believe me you don't want to deal with a company who can't even communicate with their own collection department to flag your loan as in error.
