I too was a Citibank mortgage customer until the 11th hour of a loan modification request and, without notice the mortgage was sold to Bayview Loan Servicing. I received a generic letter stating I owed them money, I waited several weeks for a response and finally learned of this mortgage sale to them from Citi. From day one of this transfer, Bayview has lacked any reasonable response to a loan modification and sends a 'package' with instruction for a refinance application.
Once the package is returned, several months pass in which Bayview requests additional information such as a small business tax form from IRS, etc. Sad that Bayview didn't include these document requests initially or, are they stalling the loan modification process. I recently found out that Bayview is really a mortgage company but rather a 'debt collection agency'. Citibank should be investigated and include Bayview as part of that investigation. Bayview seems to be likened to the Denny's Restaurant, a place you don't plan to go to but a place you wind up at.

My grandfather had a loan originally with CitiFinancial. They sold the loan to Bayview and it has been the worst experience ever! They are not helpful and at all! I wish that I can get some answers as to how to get a short sale to sell the house. I live in NC and I have moved my grandmother here with me so no one was going to be in the house. The agent first told me that she could not talk to me because I wasn't on the loan. I explained that he had passed away and I have been making payments. She still refused to talk to me. I called back and got a different agent who told me that there was nothing that they could do to help me, I would just have to pay the loan and then sell the house. These practices are absolutely unethical and these people need to be put out of business!!!

The absolute worst company I have ever had to deal with. They are holding my insurance money from two hail storms that hit my house in June and August and are making it almost impossible to get my money to pay the contractors who are fixing my house. Based on the other reviews I have read this company needs a class action lawsuit filed against it. I will be reporting them to any and all agencies I can. STAY AWAY FROM THIS COMPANY!!!

I closed on my condo and paid off my loan with Bayview Loan Servicing in April, 2018. I received a letter from Bayview in May of 2018 that the account was paid in full. October 9, 2018, I received an e-mail notice from Transunion and Experian that Bayview Loan Servicing is reporting me past due. The incorrect delinquent payment report was removed after I filed complaints with the Better Business Bureau and Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, however, Bayview continues to report it again after it was previously cleared up. There is no one at Bayview Loan Servicing that has been able to solve this. I have escalated and spoken with managers, etc. THEY STILL CONTINUE TO TELL ME TO FAX A COPY OF THE INCORRECT REPORTING FROM THE CREDIT BUREAUS SO THEY CAN FIX IT, AGAIN!

This group foreclosed on my home even after successfully completing a 3 month trial loan modification program. The fact is, they coerced me to enroll in the program to begin with. I only owed $35,000 on a home valued at $225,000. They took advantage of a senior citizen they felt confident could be done. I have learned the property was auctioned off to highest bidder for $113,000. That was Chattahoochee Investments LLC who evicted from the home I had custom built 22 years ago. As a 76 year old senior citizen, I now am homeless.

There needs to be a class action lawsuit against this company. They are trying to add money to our mortgage after Chase sold us after 1.5 missed payments. They tell different stories every time we call. We are going to look into a lawyer. They added an escrow account for insurance we already had, so we now have two homeowner policies. They continually send notices they are going to send us to foreclosure even though the mortgage portion is current. Even though requested information was sent to them for validation, they say we are still in the rears. Isn't there anyone that can make these thieves stop? They are unethical and should be put out of business.

22 years in my home and not late one time, I fell behind 3 months. JP Morgan Chase set up a repayment plan. I made the first payment June 2018. July 2nd they sold my mortgage to Bayview... Bayview knows nothing about the Chase repayment plan. No money has been applied which shows me further behind. The money is held in "unapplied" funds. Is this even legal?? Chase tells me Bayview should have been given the repayment plan. Bayview tells me they didn't get it and to wait and check back. Rest assured... it is now August 17th. I'm afraid to send $2500 anywhere... help me. Thanks so Much. I own two homes... Scared to death.

Where do I start! Same thing. Our previous mortgage company sold us to BVL. We had automatic withdrawal on May of this year, they stopped the withdrawal on our payment. We called. Their system was down. They never contact us! My husband called. His contact person is Kenneth **. He was very rude telling my husband to stop calling him, he was not in charge of our account. His name was always been on the statements and my husband has always called him and no problem. That's when everything started.
June statement read we owed $20,412.89, July $21,604.06. Our bank statements shows different. All our checks have cleared! They are not posting payments. I have a company that checks when someone is checking my credit. The credit report shows I am behind on my payments. Just today we hired an Attorney regarding this matter. There should be a Law. They need to let the consumer know when they are selling our account to another mortgage company.

WORST COMPANY EVER!!!! Our home loan was transferred to them from Chase. Payments were not accredited correctly showing we were behind when we were not. It took 3 months for the account to even show up with Bayview. In the meantime, I was told to send payments to them with the Chase acct number on it. I have spent the last several months working on a different issue to get the deed transferred and no one knew how to do it.
I asked for a supervisor only to have the male employees who answered the phone refuse to send me to a supervisor as it was not a supervisor call (Btw these employees hindered the process more because they didn't know wth they were doing). I finally got a female employee and she said no problem. She did get me in touch with a supervisor and per my request gave me one point of contact. If I could give this company zero stars I would. When we get our next home and if our mortgage is EVER transferred to this company again, I will refinance just to get away from them!

Bayview is the worst loan service I have dealt with. They have failed to pay my county taxes out of my Escrow Account. I received one statement in May showing it was paradise, then in June my statement showed it was returned back. When I call them about why my taxes was not paid, they gave me a excuse that the check was cancel because it was not cash in 90 days. I can count very well, May until June is not 90 days. If my Taxes are not paid right away I am going to sue them and report them to every Agency that governs them. Something is not right with this company.

My mom passed away and willed me her house. She had a mortgage at Chase that she was behind in that was transferred to Bayview. The company reached out to me and said they were offering a loan modification. I accepted, sent in the documents they requested, Mom's Will and death certificate. I made the 3 trial payments and a 4th payment. They sent me documents that were made out to my mom, a deceased person. When I called my rep Marsha ** said to cross her name out and initial it, so I did and had all copies notarized. Then I got the runaround and said it will be finalized but to keep on making payments.
When I tried to make my 5th payment they said they would not accept it. I said that I did everything you told me to do. Then Marsha ** told me that I have to do an assumption first and that this should have happened at the beginning which was never told to me. But now they said the only choice is an assumption or a short sale. I am not going to do an assumption because that would be me assuming the loan "As Is", and a mortgage on my credit file behind 12 months. Who in their right mind would do that?
I would have never done anything like this, I feel all this company did was string me along for 6-7 months with its only intention to extort money from me by making promises to keep my mom's house after trial payments when they never intended. I talked to Marsha ** numerous times and all she said was the escalation team was going to reach out to me, well that was for 3 weeks in a row. The last time was, "Her manager" was going to. Still nothing. Marsha ** said that Bayview should have never taken any money from me, and I would probably get a refund, approx $6,300.00. This has caused a lot of emotional stress as I am a middle-aged man with a heart issue. This is also the house I grew up in. All this company did is take my hard earned money from me, lied to me dozens of times. If there is a class action lawsuit please contact me, **.

I last spoke with the the person taking care of the modification in April of this year. He assured me that was all he needed and ask me to fax the same information to their underwriter. I did. He says he would call with the update. He never called. I call Bayview. I was assigned someone new. This person just told me yesterday he didn't find the documents and want me to start the process all over. This does not sound right. He can get the information from the underwriter.

In late March 2018, I received notice from Chase that my deceased brother's mortgage was being taken over by Bayview Loan Servicing and that I'd be hearing from Bayview. I tried calling Chase on April 3 to find out why the loan was no longer with Chase, but they said it had been transferred, and didn't have information. They suggested I call Bayview, which I did. Bayview said they didn't have any information, probably because the loan hadn't completely transferred over yet. They said they couldn't look it up under the Chase account number, or my brother's information, but I would be receiving paperwork with the new Bayview account number shortly.
Once I received the paperwork I called Bayview again. This time I was told that they couldn't talk to me until I had authorization to speak on my brother's behalf. The estate is in probate, as my brother died suddenly and left no will. Immediately after the probate hearing on 4/23, I called Bayview yet again. This time I was told that I needed to fax the Letter of Administration and Death certificate to their office. I was given a fax number. We tried that fax number every day for over a week, and got an error message every time.
Finally I called the customer service number again, and after twenty minutes of being shuffled around through various menus and hold messages, all taking me back to the main menu, I finally reached a live person. I told him my story, and he asked for the fax number I was using. "Oh no," he said, "that's not the right number!" He proceeded to give me a new fax number, which worked, and told me that it takes 24-48 hours for the information to be uploaded into the system. Since it was Thursday morning, he told me to call Friday afternoon, or better yet, Saturday. I asked him if they would be open on Saturday, and he assured me that they were. I looked at the customer service information on the mortgage statement, and was shocked to find that they do, indeed, list Saturday hours.
I called on Saturday, and over the course of about two hours was transferred by automated system to this exchange, which told me to please wait, only to be greeted by "Nancy" the automated greeter, who encouraged me to push 0 to speak to a colleague, which I did, and which then took me back to the main menu again. After far too many tries, which did nothing but infuriate me, I finally for a left a message asking for a callback on Monday. I also visited their website, which lists totally different business hours than are given on the mortgage statements.
By Monday afternoon, I still had not received a callback, and it was nearing the 5 pm. EST that is touted on their outgoing messages, despite their statement stating hours of M-F 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. ET and Saturday 8-5 ET. I called and spoke with Solange, who told me that she couldn't find the authorizing letters in the system. She asked me what fax number I used, and I told her the number given to me by Rafael. "Oh NO!" she says, "That's not the right number! It's..." and she gave me the number that I'd tried unsuccessfully to reach for a week.
At this point, I'm ready to blow, and I told her the situation. She said it was impossible to talk to me about the mortgage because they didn't have authorization. I told her I just want to make a payment plan to avoid foreclosure on the house. She said I can make a payment, she'd be happy to do that for me. Okay! Now we're getting somewhere. NO! Unless it's the full amount, they can't take a partial payment from me because I'm not authorized on the account. BUT I AM!
At this point she tells me I can email the documents to a loss mitigation department, and I did, and I also emailed them to Customer Service. I am about to go looking for the CEO's information and contact him or her, but I think I might just try my Congressperson. Judging from the complaints listed here, this is standard operation for this company, and it's shameful, if not downright unethical.

Bayview had contacted me with a loan modification to pay mortgage, promising that it would not affect a short sale of the property. The short sale amount was approved by Bayview, indicating the bottom dollar that they would accept. When I finally got a buyer for the home, Bayview had denied the short sale on the basis that the payments on the loan were up to date. Thus in Bayview's opinion I was able to afford the loan, regardless that the market value of the property was much less than the principle that was owed. I keep calling Bayview and they put you on hold when they recognize your phone number and hang up after 10 minutes. I've called every number they list, with the same results. I would like start a class action suit based on fraudulent practices and I need everyone's help if you can assist in any way. Thank you!

Paying off my mortgage has been a nightmare. With a balance of .25 (yes, twenty five cents) BAYVIEW claimed my final payment BOUNCED and assessed a $20 fee... (My bank Guarantees no payment was submitted and it certainly would not have bounced). Furthermore, NOW, Bayview's online payment site will not accept any payments on my account. They put the account in the hands of a "foreclosure counselor". (This payment isnt actually due until tomorrow.) Thus, being that Bayview will not allow me to make this payment, I have to hire a Lawyer, and pay this payment (25 cents) through the court tomorrow, just to cover my ass from whatever scheme Bayview is trying to pull.

I wouldn't give this company any stars BUT it doesn't allow for that. This company SUCKS! First I never signed a contract with this company but yet they now own my loan! Second, the numerous attempts to reconcile my acct with this company has failed miserably. I can't even begin to tell you just how many times I had to call this company to set up a recurring payment plan but for some reason this would always fall through and I'd find myself right back to square one calling them the following month to set it up again! I filed bankruptcy and our house was included and we never reaffirmed the home loan. However, we stayed in the house making the monthly payments.
This company took over our loan and from the beginning couldn't seem to get their head out of their ** long enough to get the process right. Now, many months later, after I've had enough and absolutely just have given up they are sending threatening letters telling me they're going to foreclose on the property if I don't pay the entire loan amount. Seriously, at this point they can just SHOVE IT UP THEIR REARS! Something MUST be done about these sort of companies, this is theft, not a penny of the monthly payments that I managed to pay since 2010 has lowered the amount of the loan. It's ludicrous that this company and the previous company has literally stolen money and yet are still in business. I agree with another that made comment. This is exactly why people destroy properties before they exit. I mean after all why not?! Might as well take what they can, right?

Dealing with this company has created the most significant ulcer ever. My mother passed away in May of 2017; I didn't become executor of her estate until sometime in September I believe... in the meantime, we had no idea where her mortgage was located, which bank, etc. Finally, after finding out it was Chase, they had just sold it to Fannie Mae, making Bayview lending the servicer for this account. My mother, because she was dead didn't make mortgage payments, and we couldn't because we didn't know where it was, so Bayview needed to collect back payments. And politely arranged a payment plan, of which as soon as I found out about I started paying on.
I have never have missed a payment in now what five-six months. Well, they wanted me to assume the loan, and sign paperwork NOT UNDER MY NAME UNDER THE ESTATE OF MY MOTHER, which is weird to me. SO I attempted to talk with Fannie Mae, another crappy company, they asked that I send formal paperwork establishing me as executor and her death certificate, which I did. Then they said they couldn't talk with me after receiving these documents because I didn't redact (BLACK OUT WITH A MARKER) stuff they didn't need to see. NO **. They wouldn't talk to me for that reason. SO I'm stuck with Bayview... once I received the paperwork, which I had no idea was coming, to take on the loan, they gave me ten days to return the form notarized and signed. IT WAS A BOOK.
I received it on a Friday, which automatically took one day away Sat, Sun gone, which left 7 days to have my attorney look at that papers and then have it notarized... My attorney was on a two-week cruise, do they think I can afford another attorney to look at that book? SO I called my rep. Yeah old Ben **, and I left a message... now he said he didn't get it... and was sweet all the way through this process until a later. He told me I needed to write a formal appeal, which I did in February, I received notice the 3rd of March that they would reply to the appeal with a decision if they would send the papers again by the 20th of March, it's March 30th, I haven't heard anything.
Keep in mind I keep making payments, not missed one. NOW I get a notice today that they are accelerating the loan process for possible repossession. BEN my service rep for this account, stopped talking to me because we finally had words over this account and I let him know that I record my calls... which is legal if you didn't know. (I don't even have to let him know I'm recording, and federal law states if you are holding legal business transactions over the phone you can record in any state)... but this company refuses to let their people be recorded. NOW he won't talk to me at all, refuses to return my calls, and I have to practically beg to get them to take a payment, they have to ask BEN first if they can take it... which he has approved twice now.
Even today as I made a payment, and left a message asking if he knew any news regarding my appeal... he was too busy or wasn't taking my call, too busy is possible. I'll give him that... but I finally found someone nice who explained why the company doesn't like to be recorded though they can record you... I use it to translate to a word document, to know who I called what we talked about and so on... as executor I talk to many people about mom's account, so it's important to keep good notes.
Now they send me notice that they plan to expedite the procedures to foreclose though I'm paying each month and I can't talk to a damn person. Not there or Fannie Mae... I wish Chase hadn't sold the account, this is the worst company, and there is nothing I can do but hope to God they try to take me to court, because I'll be there with all my transcripts of their playing with me, sending me notices with ten days to respond, but including days that I haven't even recieved the letter yet, or leading me into paying something that I thought was paying down her payments of being behind in payments, only to JUST LEARN, what I've been paying is essentially a way of pushing a hold button.... not one damn credit towards her late fees... in fact the amount has gone up though I've been paying.
There has to be a way to hold these companies accountable for their actions, has to be... why would they choose to take the loss on a house that is being paid for each month. I see why people, who are forced from their homes by mortgage companies, why they destroy the inside of the homes, taking the copper, spray painting the walls, ruining the carpet... etc. I get it... especially if you treat someone who is paying, as though they are a deadbeat who hasn't. What a joke company. And what's worst of all... the fact that I was under the assumption the payments I made were going to lower the amount she was behind, NOPE... it's just something they pocketed. THAT SOUNDS CRIMINAL TO ME.

Due to unfortunate circumstances, I fell behind 4 months on my mortgage with Chase who then sold my mortgage to Bayview. The first thing I received from them was their "Welcome Package" which threatened immediate foreclosure. I called them and they assured me that foreclosure proceedings had not yet begun. I made a 1 month good faith payment to try and work with them. Last Saturday I ran an early morning errand and returned to find a note taped to my door that Bayview had been there to inspect my house - before 9am on a Saturday (and they expected me to let them into my house before 9am on the weekend, unannounced, and with the rest of the family sleeping in their bedrooms)!
Then I get a FedEx package from them on 03/19/18 saying that I had 3 options: 1) Accept a loan modification paying $300 less each month that would extend my mortgage (with only 15 years left on it) for another 40 years! or 2) Leave my house and let them do a short sale or deed-in-lieu-of, or 3) Foreclosure proceedings would CONTINUE (they assumed the mortgage on 02/01/18 and foreclosure proceedings have already begun by 03/15/18?) This company obviously wants to buy my $450,000 Long Island, NY house for the $118,000 remaining on my mortgage and flip it for profit. This company is sleazy and aggressive.
They bought my mortgage with the sole intent on evicting my family (including 2 children with autism to whom this is the only house they've ever known). Bottom line: they are sharks looking to take advantage of those of us who have fallen on hard times. And if they send another agent to my house unannounced and at an unconventional hour, trying to force his or her way into my home - they will have a very rude welcome, after which the police will be called to arrest the home invaders.

It's unbelievable how incompetent they are. My mortgage was transferred to them. They asked for proof of insurance. I sent it. They kept on asking. I called them. They kept on asking. I uploaded proof to them. They kept on asking and they added an insurance premium to my monthly payment. I called them and got the payment removed and sent proof of insurance via the email address provided in the phone call. The next month, they again added the bogus insurance charge. So, I logged onto my insurance carrier's site and sent them 200 individual proofs of insurance in one day. Then they responded that they had received my proof of insurance. But, no worries. They continued to try to charge me the additional insurance charge.
The latest, actually as of today. I sent them my payment electronically. They sent me an email confirmation but never processed the payment. So, then they added an NSF charge. I sent them a message through their messaging system. No response. I called them. I tried to submit the payment again. Nope, their web page said that my bank does not allow electronic transfers. I called them. The idiot on the phone told me that they might be liens on my account or some other **. I told her to process the payment again. She did it. It went through.

How can an account be past due when the amount is being taken the same date MONTHLY?!!

I am so glad to read these reviews on this sleazy company. My homeowner's loan was sold by CitiFinancial to this company in June of 2017. I had no idea it was gonna happen til I received a notification out of the blue from Citi and these crooks at Bayview. My situation was I was in a chapter 13 which my home shouldn't have been included since I continued to make my payments on my own. I have been requesting since that time for them Bayview to send me monthly statements so I can pay my payment as well as track my balance.
I have even had my lawyer to contact them for the same request and to this day they have failed to comply. Saying at first they can only send statements to my lawyer which they didn't do. Now that my bankruptcy is coming to an end they are still not sending me statements as requested but trying to say I'm behind. Thank God for my bank cause I can track all of my payments. This is an awful company and I am begging for them to be shut down immediately. So sorry to hear about the people that have had to lose their homes. Something has got to be done about Bayview NOW.

It takes them 3-4 weeks to post my mortgage payment in their records, even though the money comes out of my checking account immediately. I've paid via electronic check, physical check, over the phone, it doesn't matter... They are the worst company I've ever had to deal with. Thanks CHASE for selling my mortgage to these losers. I've had to block their number due to their harassment when the error is on the side of the company. The suggestion of a class action lawsuit sounds completely pliable to me.

I am a broker and the process for short sale for a client that wanted to be responsible and didn't want to let go of the home to foreclosure. I presented them with a complete file in May 2016 and it took them over 4 months to present it to FNMA. By that time the buyer had bailed out! I found a second buyer and the second time around even though they had a complete package they still cannot do a good job. Every time they promise but they never deliver. I had to beg FNMA rep to call them and ask them to send the file to them. The worst company that I have ever worked with.

Been dealing with these idiots for a year. Lost my principle reduction loan modification due to their constant shifting of staff. Then they lagged so long on another loan modification that a foreclosure date was set. I kept pressuring them to lift the sale until the loan mod was finalized. Then the hurricane in Florida hit - causing their entire team to be off of work. So they could not stop the sale. I had to file a chapter 13 to stop the sale because no other department located in another area of the country could step in and cover the tasks of the Florida team. What a crappy experience with these people.

Not a week after my mother passed, I received notification that her and my father's (he passed 7 months prior to my mother) I receive notification from Bayview that they now have the loan, but not to worry as automatic payments will continue to be processed. I contacted Bayview to let them know that my parents had passed, and the house was left to me. Which meant I would be making the payments. Bayview refused to take payments from, because my name was not on loan. Even after submitting both wills and death certificates (multiple times) I continued to get the runaround from them. This went on for 3 months. I was able to make a 1 payment for $1200 from my parents' savings account, which brought the loan up to date. When I called the following month to make a payment, I was denied again. I tried to make online payments and was unable to do so. I continued to call and attempt to make payments to no avail.
Suddenly when I call, I'm automatically routed to Danny ** whose title is something like Risk Manager. He never answers. I left several messages for him. When he finally called me back, there was no resolution. He said he could only take a payment from me if it was for the full loan amount. I then receive a letter from a lawyer’s office letting me know Bayview is trying to foreclose on my parent's house. This is the house I was raised in. My father built this house when he found out my mother was pregnant with me.
I contacted a lawyer and was told I could file bankruptcy to keep them from taking the house. So now I'm filing for bankruptcy because Bayview caused me to fall $2500 behind in payments. This company is the WORST. They are shady, they don't care about their clients, they aren't helpful at all. They are crooks. Reading some of these reviews makes me incredibly sad. People are now homeless because of Bayview. How is this company still in business? I would tell everyone to stay far away from Bayview, but by the time you find out your loan has been sold them it's too late.

She did not have flood insurance in her home because her home has never flooded and Bayview sent her a letter stating that if she did not get flood insurance on her property, they would put insurance on the home. We emailed and also wrote a letter to Bayview letting them know that we are paying the balance in FULL which was this August 2017. To clear the debt we sent in two checks which totaled to 2,755.72. After not hearing from them I called and was given the run-around and placed on hold. Bayview took the payoff money and placed it in an escrow account and sent me a bill for the September 2017 payment. No one can give us a clear answer as to why was the money put in escrow and not applied to the balance of the bill which again will pay it OUT! I think the staff is trained to rip people off.

I feel that I am being forced to sell my home due to Bayview mishandling of documents, as well as, refusing to accept my monthly payments for over a year. I am not convinced that the regulatory agencies are not aware of the many complaints against Bayview Loan Servicing.

I am yet another person who had their mortgage loan sold to Bayview and has had nothing but trouble. My loan with SunTrust Mortgage was sold to Bayview near the beginning of 2017 after some financial difficulties. I lost my job of 16 years, then went to work for another company for a year before leaving that job. I was out of work for 6 mo. before finding another job. I was about 6 mo behind on my mortgage payments totaling less than $6,000. I tried to do a loan modification, and the amount of information Bayview requested was more than I had to produce for my initial mortgage. They kept asking for things that I was unable to provide, but I did give them most everything they asked for. I would go long periods without hearing anything back from them.
When I started working again, I spoke with Ben and told him when I would start making my regular payments again. He said that was fine and I had time before the foreclosure process would be started. After I made my first regular payment to them, I get an email saying that they could not do anything with the funds because the load had gone into foreclosure 11 days prior. The latest is that I basically have 2 weeks to come up with the $5,000 to supposedly stop the foreclosure process. I don't really believe that if I make that payment somehow, my loan will go back to normal.
These people string you along, telling you that things are ok, while they are going behind your back and proceeding with foreclosures. I have equity in my home and they are looking for a quick buck at the expense of the down and out consumer. They take advantage of people's misfortunes and exploit them for their own gain.

I pay all of my bills on time and I never had this problem with Citifinancial. I called to discuss this issue, my call was escalated to a specialist name, Victor.

My mortgage was sold to Bayview Loan Servicing in April 2016. I was having some financial difficulties during that year and got behind on my loan. I was working to catch up and try and do a modification. I was denied the modification because they said my package was incomplete which is was not the rep. never got back to me when I faxed them to her. So not wanting to waste my time with that nonsense I worked to get my mortgage caught up. I was finally up to date in November 2016. I paid my December payment on time along with the late fee and modification fee they said I owed. They paid the mortgage but to the fee money and put it into an unapplied account. I kept paying the fees over and over not realizing they were putting money into this account.
Eventually I noticed what they were doing and asked the rep to pay the fees, as she said I had to authorize them to pay them out of that account. Of course I authorized it and it never happened. I have since been on the merry go round of getting my account paid properly. Fast forward to July 2017, I figured all was taken care of since I had a marathon call in June straightening everything out, WRONG! Again the fees showed up and they took my July payment which was sent on the 5th of July and took the fee money out and put the rest into an unapplied fund without my knowledge. So to my surprise I received a call saying I hadn't paid my July payment. I called and it took everything I had to try and get this mess straight. I was on the phone with a supervisor and she was going to fix it and call me back two days later.
No call. Nothing. So I called them and again it said my account was not paid and she took all my money and put into the unapplied funds account. It took another marathon call to find out what the heck was going on and I got the run around from one service rep to another until I finally got pissed and let them know I contacted my attorney and the Illinois Attorney General's Office. Amazingly the supervisor I talked to got on the phone and told me she was trying to get the fees taken off my account and that is the reason she could not make the payment and the funds were in the unapplied account.
Now the service rep said I owed $112.00 and here the supervisor is telling me I owed 50 cents and that's why she could not make the payment, I was short 50 cents. I paid it and questioned her about the July late fees and she said she took them off as well as the old late fees. We will see if she did what she said, because I meant what I said. I am filing with the Attorney General's Office and waiting on my Attorney to call me back. No one gets to play with my hard earned money.

I began a loan modification process with Bayview LLC over a year ago. I have been through numerous Asset Management persons and supervisors. After initially contacting Bayview about a loan modification they begin to request documents. For over a year I continued to send them documents and then they would turn around and request the same documents again. Once they received a completed package by law they had 37 days to respond. But they did not care and nobody held them accountable.
My first asset manager was Daniel who never returned phone calls and was never even in when I called. I then was transferred to Joey who every time I called had an excuse and asked for more time. "Just give me two more days" or, "We will know something by next week." What a liar!! All they did was continue to drag me through the mud promising they were working on a modification while at the same time they were "dual tracking" me, which again is against the law. They continued to pursue foreclosures causing me to file two different bankruptcies to stop foreclosures all while going through the modification process.
I not only spoke to Joey but the two supervisors. One named Guy and the other name Timothy. Both of them were no help. These people do not care!! I have owned my home since we built it new for 13 years. My arrears originally was $15,000 but they continued to drag me through the mud until it totaled $55,000. They then denied my modification to the $586,000 Loan. After I appealed their decision based on the loan value being underwater they immediately sent out an appraiser to do an appraisal. After numerous requests and voicemails that were full and never receiving return phone calls or correspondence they denied my appeal and immediately scheduled a third foreclosure date.
Their incompetence at handling this process is over the top. They continued to blame the underwriter that could not figure out my income. Although they were sent three years of tax returns and also requested tax returns from the IRS. They had over six months of pay stubs and still kept asking for a 1099. It's a shame that the future of your house is held hostage by Young 20 year olds that have absolutely no experience in what they're doing. I still have never received a copy of the appraisal that came in at $580,000 which was less than the amount I owed. They were not willing to work out any kind of repayment plan but instead continued foreclosure. They ultimately sold my house at auction for $446,000. That was $130,000 below the appraised value. And their title is Asset Manager? What a joke!! Nobody can understand the anger and frustration if you have never been through this process.
So my warning to everyone that has anything to do with business with Bayview LLC. Beware. These people are liars, manipulators, and incompetent and certainly not considerate. Don't be fooled by them wanting to help you through a modification. Because they will continue to proceed with foreclosure process and drag it out and drain you financially. I agree that there should be a class action lawsuit brought against Bayview LLC for their fraudulent business activities. The average person would go to prison for the fraud that they have committed. But nobody has held this company to account. Whatever you do, do not believe anything they tell you.
I wish somebody at Consumer Affairs would read these numerous complaints about this company and bring some kind of legal action against them. They have hurt my family and caused me to lose the biggest asset in my life. This company is continue to commit fraud over and over again and never held accountable. They should not even be allowed to do business.

I have to admit, I feel for all the 1 starred reviews I have been reading but my experience has been a very long but gratifying experience with this Bayview. In 2015, I applied for a modification and was denied because my thought process was to catch up on my loan payments and maybe I would qualify in good standing being current. Well I was wrong in thinking this. I was told by my asset manager at the time that "Now that you're caught up that you don't need one," even though I knew it was imperative that I did.
Time went on and I got behind again and spoke to another loan asset manager and her name is VICKY... I started all this loan modification business again back in August and was 2 months behind and she went through all the options available. She asked me if I wanted to keep my home of 12 yrs. and I sincerely said "YES", which I do. It took me a lot of time gathering ALL my information needed and sent it in. Of course there were times where I didn't have enough documents or they weren't in right order etc. but as I mailed them out, I called her right away and asked her to be on the lookout for them. This all happened within the few weeks they were required and finally by the 4th time everything was in correct order.
With VICKY's patience and my finally getting all my documents, copies etc in line and correct, she saw no reason that I wouldn't be approved. I was worried about becoming 4-5 months behind but payments weren't required as it was in review for this modification, that's why you were not approved before. My payments were up to date. Pretty simple.
Well I received my paperwork for approval and if I pay the required monthly payments on time for 3 months which are $800 less than my normal payments, the payments would stay around the same for the life of the loan. She was so helpful in the modification process. The key to this is to keep in touch with them so they record you because it shows them that you are serious. Even if she was unable to take my call, I left her a message to see where my status was. She'd call back and leave me a message saying it was still in review. We spoke many times and left each other many a message during the process but we kept in touch. My plan is to keep my word and pay this lower monthly amount and KEEP MY HOUSE... So the key is to just keep after them and hopefully you'll get Vicky as an asset manager.

I spoke up and my dad made it clear that he would only be making manual online payments that he could immediately print proof of (I don't care what they say. this is 2017 and if you have internet access for payments then you should never give info over the phone and NEVER give a company permission to auto deduct payments).
Internet payments allow you to instantly print proof of every payment and ensure you know where every cents goes. Her attitude changed dramatically when she heard me in the background and suddenly (Magically!) online payments were possible! The most recent issue is that my parents DO have insurance and they sent Bayview proof twice now. But Bayview IGNORED it and has informed my parents they will be charging them 300.00 for Hazard insurance. We have insurance. How can they get away with this fraudulent idiocy? When My dad ends up in the hospital after being at PANIC ATTACK level worrying for two days cause they seem to always get these letters from BV on a Saturday ensuring he worries himself ragged for two days. Will they pay his damn hospital bills?

My mortgage was with B of A since 1989 and was sold to Bayview Loans in 2015. I was very upset and could never find out why my loan was sold. I conducted my own research and learned that financial institutions commonly sell loans in order to free up their cash flow on hand. Supposedly, no increases should occur when your mortgage loan is sold to another financial institution. Bayview Loans immediately began charging me for using their automative system to make my mortgage payments.
In 2015, I was advised that I had a shortage in my escrow account in the amount of $700.00. I paid the shortage with no other additional fees. In 2016, I was told I had another shortage in the amount of $2,400.00 dollars. I paid the shortage and was advised my mortgage payment would not be going up. A week later, I received a letter indicating my mortgage payment would be going up by $250.00, because of my property tax. I was given bad information when initially told, my monthly payment would be the same. Every telephone contact I have had with Bayview Loan has not been good because their representatives are incompetent and rude.

After trying to reach my assigned asset manager for almost 2 weeks, I was told by a customer service agent that she was no longer with the company. A week later, I called to get more information concerning my loan and to ask for clarification of a point that was ambiguous, and the newly assigned asset manager that I spoke with was incapable of comprehending my question, spoke so quickly that I couldn't understand him, and became quickly insulting. I tried to explain that I hadn't heard from the former asset manager and had been told that she left the company when he interrupted me saying that she still in fact worked there but that it was not her role to 'speak' with customers. This surprised me as I had had a number of conversations with her previously; therefore I asked to speak with his supervisor.
He responded that the issue did not need a supervisor, that all I had to do was sign and return the requested document, that it wasn't necessary to answer my question. I asked several times for the name of a supervisor and still he refused, telling me that I was wasting his time and that if there was nothing else, he would need to hang up. If this is the type of employee that this company employs, it doesn't bode well for us as customers. This company does indeed need to be thoroughly investigated.

My loan was sold to Bayview loan in 2013. In April 2016, due to a lapse of 2 days in my hazard insurance, and my insurance company in not reissuing the insurance information, Bayview put an escrow account on my loan. Full disclosure, my mother passed away on March 2, 2016 and I was the executor of her estate. Between settling her estate and a full time job, I did not pay attention to my loan. So I made 2 payments in Sept and Oct thinking that they were late payments. It was in November that I realized they had put an escrow account on the loan and even though I didn't request this, it took a letter asking them to cancel the escrow account, which I did in late December.
I paid December, however they applied my payment to a "suspense" account. I called on Jan. 13th to make a payment and was informed that if I made that payment, that it would go to the "shortage" to the escrow account. Currently they are asking for $2,234.99 lump sum for my "shortage", even though I have contacted their insurance department and they state that I owe $14.15. They also harass me daily, starting on the 2nd of the month for my payment, even though I pay by the 15th of each month. They are crooks and should be investigated.

My mortgage loan was with Citizens Bank (citizens one) and they sold it without my knowledge to Bayview Loan Servicing. Apparently, Bayview acquired my loan in September 2016. My August payment was made to Citizens as usual. On September 6th I received a statement from Bayview saying that I owed two months of mortgage payments; which is impossible since I was current. I called Citizens Bank to ask what was going on and was told they sold the loan and "it was just a business decision." I called Bayview and was told they would clear up the billing error. I always paid my mortgage online with Citizens, so I set up the Bayview online account. The information on the online account never changed, so I waited for the next bill which was a collections bill threatening default! I began receiving two letters every week for three weeks. The letters contained a number to call.
Each time I called before 4:00 pm EASTERN TIME, I received a recording that their office is open between the hours of 8-8, please call back during normal business hours! I called two different numbers from two different correspondence and each time received the same voicemail message. I attempted to use the online account I had set up but kept receiving a message that stated "An error has occurred, please attempt to access your account later." I then looked up Bayview on the internet and was able to find a different number on their website. It was a recording that asked for SS# and other person info. I was so frustrated at this point that I typed in all the information. I requested to speak with someone from the customer service department about billing. I was connected to a man (Jose?) and repeatedly tried to explain the billing error (I have a doctorate degree, I know the communication problem did not lie with me).
He kept saying, "I don't know what your September bill says but you have not paid your bill; are you going to pay your bill?" After numerous attempts to get him to look up my billing for September he said "What are you trying to do, we didn't receive your September payment," he could not have been more rude! Since I believed that I was speaking to someone in the customer service department and wasn't getting anywhere, I asked to speak with a supervisor. He then very rudely said, "You want to speak with customer service?" I stated that I thought this was customer service and to please allow me to speak with a supervisor. He said, "This is the Loss and Mitigation Department because you are in default." Very frustrated now, I asked to be transferred to customer service. I asked about my bill and was told that that my August payment to Citizens must not have cleared before they acquired the loan.
I asked for this to be corrected and was told it would be. I asked about not being able to use the on-line account, as I wanted to see if the correction was really going to be made, but was informed that they have disabled the online account, which is a routine practice when the loan is delinquent! I have never had such a bad experience. If you are able to get through the recording says "You have reached Bayview loan servicing, a debt collection company." I have been paying my mortgage for 22 years and very angry with Citizens Bank for selling it to this awful company. The service is the worst! I just read a couple other reviews on Consumer Affairs about Bayview and now realize that there are other people in the same situation that are still unable to clear up the billing error after many months. If my new statement arrives without the billing error cleared, I am going to post this message EVERYWHERE!

I received my first call last month stating that I was past due and needed to make a payment to be in good standing. I advised them, they were deducting my payment themselves and needed to check their records.
They called back, apologized and said they thought they were only approved to withdraw one of the two payments. They had me make a verbal statement that I approved for them to make 2 even withdrawals on the 1st and 15th and that would handle everything. This month I received a call stating that I was behind again. I told him, I wanted to speak to a supervisor, that I had handled all this last month. He refused and I hung up.

We are going to lapse in Homeowners as of tomorrow. I received an urgent email from our agent last week that they had not been paid by Bayview for the annual premium. I immediately called Bayview, who informed me that this loan does NOT have Homeowner's in escrow - only property taxes! He then read out his most recent statement as to how payment is disbursed each month. That was August. I read him MY statement I received from June that showed $140 more going into escrow and that covers the homeowners. I had to then fax them the Declaration page, and I added the cancellation notice, the email from State Farm, and their own statement showing the disbursement that includes monies for homeowners. The agent said once that was done, it would be paid.
Of course it did not happen that way. Yesterday State Farm called to say they heard nothing and received nothing. We cannot afford to pay this amount and should not have to. After THREE hours on the phone, being transferred to 4 different departments, they steadfastly remain that the mortgage has only taxes in escrow. I finally stated that "BAYVIEW HAS CHANGED THIS MORTGAGE WITHOUT KNOWLEDGE OR PERMISSION. This is a contract and as such you have now breached a contract." They could not or would not even get me over to the escrow department! "We don't have those numbers." I gave the agent the number from the back of their own damn monthly statement. After 3 hours all I got is that they are going to run an "escrow analysis" on this account and I am to call them in 2 days to find out the results. **!!

This is the final abuse from BOA-Countrywide-Greentree-Ditech-Bayview. We already won $1680 in the class-action against BOA and Greentree, but they will not allow us to use the proceeds as needed, instead tacking it on the rear of the loan! I find out that for those who HAD already been foreclosed on, they received a check. To me, this action proves it is OUR MONEY and they are literally robbing us of our just retribution.
Ditech threatened to foreclose over $27 last year (See "A Leopard cannot change his spots"), yet here they are holding $1680 of our money. Now with the turnover of servicing to Bayview, suddenly our loan, which was modified in 2014, seems to have mysteriously been modified again. This modification, by the way, by law or provision put down by HAMP demanded that the mortgage have property taxes and insurance placed into escrow. I hated it, fought against it, but was FORCED to do it. Now it seems Bayview can arbitrarily change the terms of a loan.
I say not and will call foul. This is the end of the line, probably the end of our home ownership, but we will not go down without a fight. We are seeing an attorney next week to find out what action can be taken to force them to be accountable. And I will continue to warn others via this forum of the ultimate in corrupt and contemptible practices from these criminals. And that includes all from BOA to Countrywide to Greentree to Ditech to Bayview.
We had this mortgage since 1999 -- We are all honest people on this forum trying to do the right and responsible thing, but we absolutely do not stand a chance against professional finance criminals such as these. Nor do we seem to have an advocate. If ANYONE knows of how to reach an advocate, please respond to me. To have to move and lose the last shred of basic human needs will be the straw that breaks my neck, but I (we) are so tired of the now 7 years of fighting these miscreants that one tends to be driven to the extreme.
Lastly, I still contend - If WE break terms of a contract - that is considered a breach of contract and therefore renders it null and void. But I wager that is tort law. Banks and finance companies run by their own self-created set of laws. UNREGULATED! But it is exactly what Bayview has done - broken the terms of a contract and therefore a breach of said contract.
If this is how the new WOIA (one excuse used as to why no one contacted me for 3 months) and the TTW participants are assisted in this state (or this region) this will be a worse fiasco than the health care debacle by this state.

In the meantime, I am still trying to find employment by the online job banks. All I receive are calls from recruiters with temporary assignments for skills I do not possess. Right now, I literally do not know what to do, or whom to turn to for advice and assistance. I had always been an advocate for everyone else years ago, now I need an advocate and one with an aggressive plan. I intelligent, I am educated, I am NOT lazy, and I do not WANT or expect entitlements. I want to be able to support my family again and have pride.

I called Adrian my asset manager and he confirmed this. I was so upset because I knew we did not have liens or judgements.
Another "red flag" was that these liens and judgements were only in my husband's name... not mine. We began researching public records (for free) and found all of the legal documents and none of them matched our address, city or anything. The men listed had the same name and Bayview just tagged them on us... as if we are not already struggling... Over $100,000 of judgements and liens and judgements were credited to us by Bayview. I am not happy, and I am going to have an attorney (that I cannot afford) look into this. If I, a laywoman, could find these records why couldn't Bayview? It is a ridiculous shame how companies kick folks when they are down. I'm not going out without a legal proceeding. They can count on that.

They have verbally refused to do this. And continue to claim that documents sent and verified received are constantly lost or as one idiot stated "we delete it upon receiving the document otherwise we would be drowning in documents". They will for instance hold up the file for 30 days an estimated HUD statement and suddenly claim that the full company name was not spelled out on it, so they delayed the whole short sale process for 30 days.
It has been 5 months since we submitted the offer and they keep claiming that next week they will have an answer and "it is going into underwriting today as soon as we get one more tiny verb misspell on this scratch paper corrected by the buyers". Or "your signature looks more like an initial. Can you change your signature to look like a normal signature." And there goes another 30 days. We have submitted two full priced offers and now a third one - all of which have cancelled due to their ineptness.
I know of one asset manager who has been fired from several servicing companies only to land at Bayview. This woman has destroyed so many lives.

Bank of America always wondered why I wouldn't reopen a checking or savings with them. This is just another reason why I will never do banking with Bank of America.

I am seeking help with my current lender. Feb. 2015 we opened escrow to assume the current mortgage on Parker ave., Oakland, CA. 94605. We were granted approval Sept. 2015. I have not heard from Evelyn ** (Dept. Head) since Nov. 2015. We wired closing funds and documents March 2016. We still have not recorded and conveyed the Mortgage and title to us. I have exhausted the customer service loop which always leads back to Evelyn ** voicemail. We have been perhaps too patient, but 15 months for a simple Assumption is excessive to say the least. We simply want what we already paid for, our current Mortgage.

Our loan was sold to Bayview a few months ago. It's been a disaster ever since. We are attempting a loan remodification however, the asset manager is unobtainable. I leave emails, voice messages, etc. When I sent all of the documents (approx 3 hrs of work), I did so via certified mail and sent it to the address provided (Miami). When the asset manager contacted me (finally!) she basically reamed me out for sending it to the wrong location and not contacting her! I put a call in to forge a complaint. I'm over this despicable lack of professionalism, belittling behavior!

TODAY... I had a real estate agent show up at my door and tell me that my home was being foreclosed on? WHAT? I started crying and nearly had to call an ambulance I was in a panic attack. We did not have any papers or any warning of this!!! I dropped to my knees and cried, "What in the world?" My husband stated we were in a loan modification and all was going to be just fine! SURE. Now that I read all the lies and deceit caused by these scumbags! YOU were wrong to do this to us without any warning! This is shameful! Where is the integrity and ethical behavior... it's gone.

Wow, reading reviews from others about this company confirmed that I am not crazy. In 2008 I filed chapter 13 bankruptcy. My mortgage was not included in this but I did reaffirm my mortgage with M&T Bank (who sold me to Bayview). I've owned my condo since 2001 and have never been late on my payments. I have every copy of every check as proof as well as my bank and bill pay statements. I successfully completed my chapter 13 in Sept of 2013. In Dec of 2013 I got a bill from Bayview stating that I was a month behind and also that I owed them legal fees of $278.00. I called and told by the man who answered that he would have to transfer me as he couldn't speak with "people like you" (his exact words). The man I finally spoke with told me that I missed a payment in Aug of 2012, and that the legal fees were because when I missed the payment that they had to pay an attorney to drive by my condo and make sure I hadn't moved out. (Seriously!?!)
I sent them proof of all of my payments and everything was fine for a couple of months when again I got a bill saying I was behind. I called again and was treated poorly. This time they said I missed my April 2011 payment. Again I sent proof. I also told them that if I had missed a payment while I was in bankruptcy, that they were by law supposed to call the bankruptcy courts as well as my attorney and that they were in violation of the bankruptcy code. Since then I have been trying to deal with them. In December I even did a three way call with them and a representative from Wells Fargo Bill pay so she could verify that all payments were made and all checks cashed. The person from Bayview was so mad that she hung up on us!
Today I got a statement from Bayview stating that the payment they received on Mar 2, 2016 is in "suspense". Also twice I have sent them the HOA certificate of insurance and on the statement I received today, I was billed for insurance! I called and spoke with a woman named Maribel, who insisted I have been a month behind for 5 years now. I asked why I haven't been charged late fees and she said my original mortgage doesn't allow it (trust me, it does). She gave me a FAX number to send everything to. I'm going to but I know how it will play out.
I am sending a complaint to the state of TX Department of Savings and Mortgage Lending and I'll see if that gets me anywhere. All I know is that ever since that statement I received in Dec of 2013, I have been so stressed over this, have had countless sleepless nights and am sick of their condescending attitudes. You can count me in on any class action suits! They have got to be stopped!!!

If you read my consequence in full... thank you. I have never had the opportunity to speak with or relate to people who are involved in this mess of trying to keep a home. We are currently in the process of doing our third attempt with Bayview Loan Servicing on our mortgage that was sold to Bayview from Bank of America, while we were in a 2nd attempt with Bank of America to process the Loan Remodification when the loan was sold to Bayview. Prior to the process, we purchased a home in 2008 and went through this similarly in 2013 during the Mortgage Crisis, ultimately walking away from our primary residence during the Government "Bank Buy out" protocol that allowed Washington Federal Savings and Loan, to quickly bankrupt their bank and change the name after they participated in the bailout. They did not remodify any loans.
However, in 2008, Washington Federal quickly approved on a $600,000 loan based on our asserts. Upon acceptance of the offer, the bank would not allow us to do our own appraisal, suggesting that the home was going to be auctioned in a week and the appraisal that they had in the file would work to suffice the loan for closing. However, little did we know that the Builder who built the home had 5 homes on the same block with Washington Federal Savings and Loan, and our Realtor made certain that we were getting an awesome million dollar home, (according to the past appraisals) and that we could gain much equity in 5 years. She even mentioned that she almost purchased the home for an investment herself.
The Bank Manager Brian ** led us to believe that the payment would change in the next few months from $4200.00 a month to just over $1900, with a promise to refinance our other retreat home and use the equity to lower the payment with a new program they were offering multi-home buyers. So, we withdrew $148,000 as an early retirement and used that for the down payment. It never happened.
The housing market crisis started to push our neighbors into foreclosures on both sides of the street in a community of about 200 high end custom palaces.We waited on the approval to lower the payment, which was denied due to the amount of loan and depreciation that hit the market. The purchase was $740,000. with a $150,000 down payment at closing that we were supposed to receive $1800.00 back from the title company for overpayment of the down payment and we had to fight to get that returned to us as it was an overpayment.
Both the Title Company, Branch Manager and Bank made commissions, manipulated the numbers in the file and would make up "bank fee verbiage" to justify the confusion that they said we had at closing. We paid the Mortgage for over five years consistently while diligently trying to lower the payment with the MRC or Re-Modification after a decline in income... Not only did we NOT get to re-deposit the early retirement withdraw back into our retirement, but we're unsuccessful in getting anywhere with lowering the payment to be able to keep the home and try to build from the loss.
Moral of the story was the home was worth about $500,000 when we got the loan and the bank used an OLD APPRAISAL in the file. They stated it was almost a year old and was crossed out and written over by the appraiser to suffice the closing. We had a $600,000 mortgage with a bank that helped ruin our impeccable credit and would not allow us to lower the payment so that we could at least regain our credit to make the payments each month.
We value moral respect and we're willing to continue paying on a home loan of $600,000 knowing the reality that the home's value was about $550,000 and steadily falling in value by the month. We knew that if we would have stayed in the home for 20 years, that we could NEVER make any gains or recover the losses. The house started falling apart, the concrete on the foundation was spitting, the upper lever balcony and much of the roof was never repaired by the builder Sunrise Development - Justin and Christine ** which was all listed in the closing agreement and signed to repair.
We finally moved out in May 2013 and watched the value drop down at one time to around $489,000 on the home. It finally sold in December 2014, after we were long gone, better educated and seeking legal actions, while still licking our financial wounds. The scamming builder who lied for over 5 years was now paid to do the repairs by Washington Federal so they could put the house on the foreclosure market. There was NO Confidentiality in our case and both the builder and the realtor Carey ** from Woodhouse Group were in on the fraud and misrepresentation to us with Branch Manager Brian ** leading the way on how.
We currently moved into our second home which is a mountain retreat that we paid cash for in 2004. We had a small loan with Countrywide Mortgage, which was then sold to Bank Of America. When the previous early tax consequence and losses snowballed into a tax problem, we reached out to start a Re-Modification with Bank of America, which was in the second attempt at processing and nearing a fair resolution and we were almost to closing, when Karen the BOA loan officer that was servicing the process informed me that the loan was sold to Bayview and that someone would soon be contacting me to continue the Re-Modification.
Nope, they had nothing except the loan number and I was assigned to Toby **, who has been the servicing agent now for almost over a year... I have sent over 3 RMA's due to them taking so long and the application needed updated financials. Continuously have called, emailed and left messages. Nothing for weeks and then a letter will come requesting some type of document needed again. WTF??? Is there any resolutions known in a Re-Modification? How is this Legal? Who would be interested in petitioning a Class Action Lawsuit and advocate for people in this unsecured process of wondering if they are going to lose their home.

Several months ago I was experiencing financial struggles and reached out to Bayview hoping to get some help. The very first thing they always tell you is that the call is being recorded for quality assurance. I asked the representative if they would offer me a postponement of payments for 2 months while I get back on track. He put me on hold for a short while and came back. As he was typing away, he said that I was all set. I clearly confirmed with him at least twice as to when the next payment would be due (in October). He said yes... at least twice! I was very pleased because it would give me time to catch up on other debt and a chance to breathe.
About a month later or so I received a call from them stating that I was 2 months past due and that I would soon enter foreclosure if I didn't make a payment. I advised them of my last communication which they conveniently didn't show notes of on my account. I was told a supervisor would review the account and call me back. 2 days later I received another call from an account manager stating that they never offer postponed payments and that they didn't have record of my conversation. I urged him to go back and review the recorded call. After a couple of conversations with this "account manager" in which I asked him to review the "recording" he claimed that he hadn't had a chance to listen to it but regardless of what was said that I would have to begin payments immediately and catch up the 2 months overdue.
This company of full of crap!! I once placed an order for a car part from a small company I found online. When I received the order I realized that I got the wrong item. I immediately called to complain about the order and advised them that I think the person sent me the wrong item. Within seconds I received an email with a recording showing how I clearly ordered as the wrong item. So if a small company can go back and quickly send me a copy of the phone call proving that I was wrong, why in the world can't Bayview do the same!! If I was wrong I'm sure they would have done the same. But because they screwed up they claimed that they didn't have time to find or listen to the call and regardless of their findings, I would still have to catch up. There's no accountability with these people. The left doesn't know what the right is doing and worst of all, they don't care! I will be shopping for another lender ASAP!

I had my mortgage sold to Bayview in 2014. Ever since that date I have paid the amount due plus extra that should be applied to the principal only. They have constantly misapplied my payments, suspended my payment into a limbo account and say I have not paid the payment. After weekly and daily phone calls to customer service I ask to fix the application of funds. Sometimes it works but 9 out of 10 months it does not get corrected properly. This misapplication makes the loan amounts wrong. When paying the principal extra payments amount the interest should be reduced. I find the interest is sometimes more the next month. To my surprise today I got a certified letter from them advising what steps I can take to avoid foreclosure when they have over $2000 in some sort of suspense account. NEVER DO BUSINESS WITH THEM.

My Father fell ill to cancer, that thankfully was removed from his colon about 4 years ago. My mother is legally crippled... My husband and I took it upon ourselves with discussion between my father, my mother and ourselves to leave our home of 8 years to reside their basement to help pay the first modification they were able to get. Since then my husband and I are currently living in a "new" home, formally my late in-laws I lost last year. I had another child, had cancer removed from my cervix, and am only 37. My father's heart is now failing along with many other health issues. My mother currently needs a hip replacement, she is only 61.
My point in explaining all this is we are real people with hardships in life. My mother was a nurse's aid for 12 years and my father worked for Meridian health system for over 30 years. It took until 2016 to get him fully insured for medications needed for him to survive. He was paying out of pocket prior to now. They both live off of social security and disability. During the time I had to move with my 2 kids and 3rd one just born, my family was trying to re-modify their home. My mother isn't great with legal paperwork. She is always worried about my father passing and her bills.
She has sent this company BAYVIEW LOAN LLC that her "debt" (mortgage) was passed to. They NEVER ANSWER! I call the bank the mortgage was sold to and they get a Bayview Loan LLC person all the time. My parents have resided at their home for almost 30 years. It's not just a house. It's my childhood home, my sister and brother's memories. My twin brothers' only home they know. MY PARENTS' NEIGHBORS the most wonderful people God could have ever blessed my family with. It's so sad to me people want nothing but to take money. You're not taking money from my family by procrastinating and never answering or yet calling me back as the advocate for my father who can't talk for more than 5 minutes, because of his heart and high blood pressure. You are rude, inconsiderate, heartless, greedy people with one thing in mind... MONEY. The root of all evil.
My parents just want a place to live and have their kids and grandkids to keep coming too. A place they can be for their last days, when that time is to come, a place they worked so hard to have. A place they raised 7 children together in. To you Bayview Loan LLC it's just another house on your desk. To me it's my mother and father having a place to live out the rest of their days. A place I call HOME!!! All we want is to get started on this modification before YOU make it too late for them. They have called, written you, sent you paperwork. I've called and called. Spoke to you several times and you NEVER called me back as promised LaKisha!!!
We live in a world of greed... People who are hard working, veterans of war and taxpayers such as my father. This is the end result. I will hound this company until they wanna hand it off to a professional company that cares about the welfare of a United States Veteran, hardworking retired citizen from Meridian Healthcare, and a long standing taxpayer from his community. When someone falls ill to disease this is how you treat people in hardship... God Bless I will pray for you and in hopes you will do the right thing BAYVIEW LOAN LLC!

I was 1 day late with the 3rd payment. I was supposed to make the payment Friday before the end of the day. Unfortunately I was at the hospital with my sick wife. I made the payment at the bank first thing Saturday morning. I normally would have noticed the withdrawal from my account by Wednesday before the end of the day. This time the funds were still in my account. I waited until Friday and the funds were still in my account. I called my account manager and she said the payment was late and I am now in default.

I was on this merry-go-round for 3 months and I was highly upset. Needless to say, I am now 6 months behind. On the sixth month I get a certified letter from an attorney advising me, they represent BOA in the foreclosure proceedings. On the seventh month I get a certified letter from BOA saying they no longer hold my mortgage, Bayview Loan Services does. A month later I get an escrow statement and a certified letter from Bayview. They offer me a loan modification. Of course I am excited and complete the package they send me and include all the necessary paperwork. After waiting 2 months I call to get the results and the account manager tells me I was denied because I sent them the wrong package. I was infuriated.
I admit I did yell. I said, "How could I have sent you the wrong package? I filled out and returned the package you sent me." The account manager (male) said, I was rude and he could no longer assist me. He then hung up. I blew my stack. I admit, if I could have broke his face I would have.

Now it is over 2 years later and I am waiting to go to court for the foreclosure. I really wish this never got behind in my payments.

I called Bayview and I spoke with a rep named Rachel. I provided Rachel my SSN since I didn't have an account number yet. I explained to her that I needed to make a payment. Rachel stated that my SSN isn't in their system yet to give it another week or so. I called back and spoke with a rep, said my account has an assigned case manager since I was in Bankruptcy and she was gone for the day. I explained to him that I needed to make a payment, but refused. Said I can only make a payment with my case manager. This is frustrating. He sent my case manager an email and requested that she call me back.
A week goes by and still no response. I call Bayview back again, and spoke with a new rep, who again stated they can't speak with me and will relate a message to my case manager. Said the usual turnaround time is about 7 days. By this time, it's mid June and I still haven't heard a response back. I called back June 23rd, 25th, and 26th and with no response (I have my cell phone records to prove that I called if needed). Finally on June 30th, I had enough. I refused to continue to get the run around. I insisted I talk to someone right away. The rep gave me the name of my case managers, manager name. I left message for Kelly **, expressing my dissatisfaction.
About an hour after I left a message for Kelly, Tambra **, my case manager decides to finally call me back after 3 weeks. When I spoke to Tambra I again expressed my frustration and asked for Kelly to call me back. Tambra refused to transfer me. She apologized and said she can help answer any of my questions. Giving her benefit of doubt, I continued to speak with her. She was very helpful in gathering the information needed and even returned my call with the answers she wasn't too sure of. She then explained to me, that we may be eligible for a loan modification. She sent me the packet a few days later. On June 30th, I read over the requirements for the loan mod and seen that Bayview requested mortgage statements. I don't get statements, so I called Tambra to get a copy. I left her a message. I left another message on July 3rd.

Unfortunately he wasn't able to give me the name due to policy. At this point, I'm not surprised. I figured since he was sending the email, someone in upper management would give me a call back as requested. Again, no response.

My loan was transferred to Bayview by the FDIC from a local bank that went belly up. After Bayview received this loan, they had me enter into a 30-year Modification. I said OK, being they were taking the original loan and paying all property taxes and homeowners insurance for the next 30 years. Well lo and behold, they not only had me fill out the loan modification and send them $1500.00 by wire transfer and send monthly installments of $203.00 dollars (but I never received the Modification even after paying the monthly installments from August to December), but I find out they sold my loan to 2 different companies!!! Can you say fraud, and theft? I will gladly join any class action suit against Bayview if notified!!!

My loan was sold to Bayview loan services in February of 2014 and it took almost one year as my loan with American Servicing Co had started a loan mod and then sold the loan. The rep originally handling the paperwork was Juan **... he would never answer my calls. When I sent paperwork it never seem to get there on time even via email... they delayed it. I had to call and make a payment with my rep according to him... he never answered. When he called me I was always in my car driving home... did not have my check book. I would ask him to call at specific times and he never did. Then I got another rep and the cycle begins again. Finally the modification is done and signed although not totally happy. They extended the term to 36 years which I thought was ludicrous. I had been here 10 years and to have to pay another 36 years was ridiculous. Then I began getting statements of payments due which was in correct.
Dealing with this company is very stressful and illegal practices. I also had a bad experience with American Servicing Co where I began getting checks in the mail from Wells Fargo with absolutely no information on them... no perforated stub attached explaining.. no number to call. This went on for 3 months and then I got calls from law firm and foreclosure papers in the mail. I was baffled but then I realized the checks were the same amount as my mortgage. They made it seem as though I never made a payment and was 90 days late by sending my money back. I was now at the mercy of this company as no one else would touch me.. well lo and behold Wells Fargo had a class action suit against them. So yes BAYVIEW LOAN SERVICES needs a class action law suit... and to be shut down... count me in.

I had my loan transferred to them by M&T bank. M&T bank purchased our loan form Chase. After many months of working out our new loan, we signed our new documents in February. We told numerous times that our first or next payment would be due once the loan was closed. Bayview took 3 months to process our documents and in May we received an aggressive call from a Bayview employee (someone new to our account) saying we were in default on our loan and that we owed them over $7K. It was obvious that there was something strange going on because we followed Bayview's process all the way until closing.
Now they want to add the $7K plus to our new loan? This is a scam but I don't know what rights I have. Bayview claims I am in default of a loan that never closed. How is it that M&T or reputable banks work put their reputation on the line by working with a company like this? There is no question in my mind that we are being bullied and scammed.

I was hired by Bayview in October 2012 as a Foreclosure Coordinator. Part of my job was to run SCRA Searches on a Government Website known as the Department of Defense Website. In order to Proceed with the Foreclosure you have to check if the Borrower(s) are in the Military on this Website. If the Borrower is in the Military you cannot proceed with the Foreclosure. The way you have to check to see if the borrower is in the Military you need the Borrower's Name and Social Security Number or you could use a birth date but that is not an accurate search.
February 19, 2015 The Foreclosure Manager directed myself and two others by E-Mail that if we cannot locate a Social Security Number then to use an Invalid Fraudulent Social Security number of 999-99-9999. That is complete Fraud and an abuse of the Government Website with a Fraudulent Social Security Number. I refused to do so.

I needed help with my mortgage after going through a sudden illness that left me unable to work. I actually was close to retirement age - I was 62 years at the time. I spoke with CSR at B of A. They took my application for modification and told me that someone would be in touch. I kid you not when I tell this took from Aug of 2009 until July of 2014. B of A gave me the run around for 5 years and during this time I was getting further and further behind. Anyway eventually they sold my loan to Bayview Loan Servicing. After checking the people in charge of my loan never turned in any modification papers on my behalf because no one was ever handling my case. My case got shifted from place to place and finally B of A sold my loan which was the best thing that could of happen to me.
A young man by the of ** took the time to help me go through the steps. I didn't have any faith in him - I had said to myself he is going to do the same as B of A. Not true. He was sincere. He helped get all my documents together and made sure that I had all papers before I sent them in. Within 2 months everything was taken care of and I now have a mortgage that I can afford on my fixed income, hopefully Bayview will hire more employees like Mr. ** and turn a POSITIVE CORNER and that will be good for all.

We have completed 3 loan modifications with Bayview Loan Servicing and in each case they have adjusted the agreed upon pmt. to an amount higher than the original pmt. amount within 30 days of completing the modification. The last modification was completed in March 2014 with the first payment due in April 2014. We made the April 2014 pmt only to receive notice from them April 12, 2014, that there was a "miscalculation" in the modification. They increased the monthly payment by more than $1000. In July 2014 we sent Bayview a certified 10-page letter detailing all of the concerns we had with the servicing of our loan. They responded by sending me a copy of the letter we sent to them?

I had to keep calling them each week and after 6 months and talking to 3 or 4 new Asset Managers (explaining my whole story to each of them from scratch), they finally realized that issue was the force placed HOI. They were double charging me for insurance I never needed, even after faxing them proof that I had my own HOI.

The tenant found this out August after a notice was delivered by posting on door and several of the same type followed by mail.

The Attorney for Bayview Loan Servicing LLC would be informative as general question would apply. The next thing they said the loan was not in foreclosure and could not say anything else. What happened in a nut shell? The Tenant is now in foreclosure solutions and if she can evict the tenant she will receive the incentives for doing so. Bayview would then need not to deal with the laws of the PTFA and all is done. The papers brought to Magistrate Court were just Loan Modification terms and did not show any pertinent information. The same Bayview said to discontinue payments to the landlord but it indicated that there was not a tenant but her son's girlfriend who was house-sitting.
The new info put that bait into play. They say they will move back into the condo. The Landlord is in SC and has a whole new life, had filed fraudulent eviction papers and wanted Tenant to lie if anyone asked. The tenant was suspicious and her mother told her NOT TO and was on her way. The tenant if this was true would be happy, the family IS TRYING but it's a lie. Countrywide Loans were not the best and had fraud done with him now. They hauled but???!!!??? The facts are clearer in front of the lawsuit. There's more but I don't trust anyone right now. Please call **. I have more details and they are letting the foreclosure be made not to be either.
FACT: Landlord has Separated from property for two years and tenant was harassed and tormented. The tenant's peaceful privacy has been violated in all ways. Bayview allowed the tenant to evict by taking the property off courthouse sales, requested to file that eviction. I want you out too. I am not that timid and I have been forced by Legal aid attorney and landlord to move without going before the new owners for a process. Tenant's mother wanted to purchase but they are claiming Deed in Lieu and Bayview is letting.

My mom who is 87 years old is being harassed by Bayview loan servicing. They bought her loan from Franklin credit almost a year ago. They are saying that she is like 6 months behind in her payments but she is not and she has money order receipts to prove it. We faxed them copies of the receipts and they kept sending her foreclosure notices. So we hired a lawyer and the foreclosure notices stopped until today when she received one. They keep applying her monthly payments to the amount they say she is behind so therefore her statement is showing that she stays 6 months behind and they apply late charges to it on top of that. So we are so disgusted with this. I don't know what else to do except catch a plane, go to them with all her paperwork in hand, take it and personally deliver it to them and tell them I'm not leaving until this is settled. Any suggestions from someone who has got burned by them?

I had the misfortune of having my mortgage transferred to this nightmare called Bayview Loan Servicing. The loan has been transferred at least 6 times within a year. All of these loan servicing companies lack customer service, but Bayview is the worst of all. They called me to collect when they already had cashed my payment, they increased the monthly payment as they please, they do not answer to letters asking them why they increased the monthly payment. It is really frustrating because there is no authority regulating these loans servicing companies. And we the consumers are always at a loss with the banks and such loan servicing companies.
