    Nationstar has been the worst mortgage company that I ever dealt with. It is hard to get service and it seems as if one department do not know what the other department is doing. I have never experience the problems with any other mortgage company as I have with Nationstar. I have a debt on me at the bank I changed from because Nationstar makes it hard for you to transition from one bank to another. I was told to write a request stating that I changed banks. My question is: If I am on the phone with your customer service and I ask them to send me the proper form so I can send Nationstar the latest information from the new institute I changed to, why do I have to write a request? I feel that Nationstar have the forms. Why can't you just put one in the mail so I can send you my latest information from my new institute?

    My mortgage was sold to Nationstar by Bank of America. I recently received my first annual Escrow Account statement from them. To my horror and surprise I was informed that my Escrow Account is short $918.31. Therefore my mortgage was being increased to compensate for this shortage. While my mortgage was with Bank of America when I received my annual escrow statement the shortage was normally always less than $325, which reflected the increase in the property taxes and insurance for the year. I was always offered the option of paying the amount of the shortage in full to avoid an increase in my mortgage payment and I always opted to pay the amount in full.

    Now that my mortgage is with Nationstar not only have they increased the escrow payments to reflect the increase in property taxes and insurance but they stated expressly that federal law allows them to hold a cushion of “two times your monthly escrow payment”. This means that they get to hold $918.31 of my money as a cushion in the escrow account resulting in me having to pay them an additional $71.97 per month for 12 months to satisfy this cushion, further increasing my mortgage payments.

    In all the years that I have had a mortgage on my home, none of the mortgage holders have ever expressly stated this law and neither have any of them ever held a cushion of two times my escrow payment in the escrow account. What is the purpose of the cushion? The homeowners insurance is paid once a year in full so that payment cannot be increased mid-year requiring an additional payment that justifies the cushion. Likewise, the property taxes are set once per year and divided in quarterly payment that are set at the time of the assessment and these payments are not normally adjusted midway through the year thereby requiring additional payments to be made.

    Again, where is the justification for the cushion? While Nationstar is hold almost $1000 of my money in the escrow account, would I be paid interest at the same rate they are charging me on my mortgage? I am totally disgusted and appalled that Nationstar is allowed to do this. I would really like to know if this is allowed and if it is why after having a mortgage for over 14 years I am now being made aware of this Federal Law for the first time?

    Nationstar assumed my original loan from Bank of America. They kept bugging me about refinancing at lower rates and I took them up on the offer. In speaking with the Nationstar representative I made it clear that I wasn't interested in them adding a bunch of junk fees and wanted an expedited process. First indication of junk fees came when they charged me $675 for a $375 property appraisal. Then, their loan underwriters kept asking for more and more documentation, some which had previously been sent. In the end, I refused to send additional material and they cancelled the loan application. This was the most dysfunctional company I have ever seen. The term "Customer Service" is not in their vocabulary.

    If you are a consumer and are angry with Nationstar. Trying working there. IT’S AWFUL! Managements knows NOTHING. The employees know more than the uppers and then takes credit for what their team does for them but doesn't have the back of their employees. They also scam you on timecards. They have no resources for assistance in job production since management is inadequate. They laid off 200 people and is moving the offices out of Lewisville and into Irving. I live already an hour away.

    This place demands you be a robot and slave but compensates you for nothing!!! The morale is so bad that everyone tries to get in and get out as fast as possible. Even when you take concerns to your management they are very unprofessional (even using bad language) and then puts the blame on the employees. I have seen it done to countless team members. I can only hope and pray this place gets shut down. But before it does I am getting as far away as possible. Being on welfare is better than working here.

    I had the same experience that others are going through with Nationstar Mortgage. I was calling and emailing these people for about 3 to 4 weeks about why my PMI went up by 8 hundred dollars and I was getting the run around. I made a report online with Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and they sent them the email. They had to respond to them within 15 days and I got results - my PMI was corrected. You can't get anything resolved by calling. You have to do it in writing.

    My loan was sold by MetLife during a promotion by Nationstar, no closing and all fees paid. Last April I received a notice from Nationstar Mortgage, stating that my escrow was being increased and my mortgage would be increased by 353.00. I constantly called them, no one could explain the increase to me. After a dozen calls some "Intelligent Person" figured it out that the insurance was paid but it wasn't recorded. Here it is April again and I'm getting another notice for the same exact reason, insufficient escrow. Unbelievably it’s for the same amount. I called them several times and no one can explain the drastic increase. This is the worse in my 15 year history of paying a mortgage. I wish I had read the reviews prior to refinancing.

    We were small business owners and our company was embezzled by girl in accounting for approximately $500,000.00. There was no way by theft we could continue to operate. We closed the business and liquidated all. Because both my wife and I worked in our business, we lost our jobs. We were forced to file 3 bankruptcies - two corp and one personal. We knew we would have problems paying approx $3200.00 monthly. We applied for Hamp with Nationstar. I receive 3 to 4 times a letter that we were denied because I did not send documentation in time required when indeed we had. They would say just disregard.

    I submitted a Hamp on both first and second; Citibank which was the second modified immediately. We then started making the 2nd mortgage payments. I can assure you I sent approximately 3 to 4 feet of paperwork to NationStar. Nationstar started foreclosure letters somewhere around September. I, being upset, called Nationstar to be told not to worry, that it will stop once modification goes thru. I believe that it was in December of 2012 I started on modification paperwork. We were in modification review so long that we had 5 different loan specialist.

    Every time we got a new one, they would require the same paperwork refilled out and all new backup paperwork sent in. I know what the guidelines are after diligent research and each of the different loan specialist told me our income falls right in the pocket for HAMP modification. It was not unusual to have to fax to them 40 to 85 pages at a time. All of this time, I was receiving letters of foreclosure. Two days before Christmas, I get a call that we were denied. This is a year after applying.

    My husband drives a truck and I am a freight broker. I requested facts of what they compiled of why we were denied. All I was given was 55. The number for qualification was 31. We have made $2800.00 to NationStar and the previous mortgage company since 2006. I requested back up because I do not believe the review officers knew how to do analysis on our income. So they pushed the foreclosure thru and we are packing. I was contacting them 3 times a week. Until the last month, I called or emailed them 5 days a week. I looked at what we have paid in to our Freddie-Fannie loan. The investors have a very good shot at receiving a healthy return in what is ordered foreclosure and sheriff's sale.

    I truly believe they never intended to modify. So word to the wise - get legal involved and back up when they start foreclosure. I have yet to have been presented with the backup on how they disqualified us. I truly think that we went in and out of review 30 times. They would kick it back and say, "Well, we need this," or that when I submitted it so many times, I could recite it. By the way, had they modified as the 2nd did I would not be packing.

    Back in October 2013, I no longer could make the mortgage payments which had also gone up after Nationstar took over from Bank of America. I then was told I should do the paperwork for the Short Sale option and so I began that. I was told everything I need to send in and so I did just that. Gathered everything they needed and more. They kept coming back saying "you need to send more info on your 3rd job." I sent every single commission amount, deposit proof, and monthly reports from the company. They still just kept saying they never got it or needed more. I would gather a bit more, basically same stuff and noted everything on it for them to read and see black and white!

    They kept on 2 more times requesting stuff. I thought how can they need anything else. I finally was exhausted and just gave up. I couldn't take the stress and came to terms to just walk away. Then talking with someone, who wanted to purchase my house. He re-did all the paperwork with me 2 weeks ago and sent it in to do a short sale. Nationstar had now set up Sheriff's auction and is scheduled for May 7th. He had to call every day and would get no one to return his call and finally got routed to speak to someone 7 days later, and they said, "well we can't do that now because it is just less than 30 days to the auction."

    He has been doing these for years and done them in 2 weeks. They can push the sale out one week, but won't. They are crooked and thieves. I have paid more in interest than what my house is even worth in 14 years! Something needs to change, because why are banks making 3, 4 or 5 times more off us than what our houses are even worth!? I will watch and follow up on this lawsuit and have all my paperwork as well, and proof that I tried to work with them, and they know how to give you the run around until it is too late.

    I would have inserted NO STARS if you had such a category. Loan was sold by Bank of America in June 2013 to this Company (I use the term very very lightly). It has been, as many have stated, a nightmare. It took them four months to get the address for mail correct and charged late charges since I never received the payment notices, which I had to request in writing twice. I wrote a letter to the CEO and was not favored with a reply. You try to call them and you can't get to talk to anyone. When you are lucky enough to talk to a person you get excuses and never action to resolve a problem. But they have no problem calling you multiple times to scare you into paying the Loan before it is due every month. I refinanced the Loan just to get rid of these guys. They should be shut down under the poorly named Consumer Protection Law.

    I have tried four times to get them to notify the Credit Bureaus that the Loan is paid and send me a letter stating that the Loan is paid and closed without any response. It’s been two weeks they have had the $500,000 and still no action. They had the gall to say that these actions require a special request and it would take two weeks to a month to get done. I thought I was D-O-N-E with them and I am not. They are a curse on the customer and the consumer. I sincerely hope they go bankrupt - they deserve it. I would give Nationstar a minus five stars total and complete dissatisfaction and anger for the worst customer service and arrogant attitude. I am still waiting on them.

    This incompetent company is holding our insurance check meant to pay the contractors who are repairing fire damage. First customer service gave misinformation regarding processing. Next the check got sent to different departments and different states, returned to us, and sent back to them. Many phone calls and faxes later (takes sometimes 2-3 days to process a fax there!), and after many more "WE need one more form" conversations, we were told last Friday that the check was to be cut that day and sent out Monday. They would process it but we still need to fax another form.

    Repeatedly we were assured that the check would be sent Monday - no way did they say the form had to be there first. Of course, Monday - NO CHECK. A complaint was issued to our senator's office. (They have helped us with this company before on another matter of their incompetence.) This is Thursday - almost one week later. We called. Now it is going to take 5-7 more business days to process the check. We are livid! They cancelled the first check cut which they assured us they made. Our contractors are wanting their money for materials and are going to quit!!!

    This means that the whole process with the insurance company and mortgage company will have to start again. We have been in a motel since mid January. WE are 77 years old and of poor health and basically homeless. Nationwide's giving us the run around. It almost seems like they are holding on to the money to get interest. How many other people are having similar experiences? How much money do they make from this type of financial manipulation? The Federal government should investigate them to find out!!!

    I had the unfortunate dealing with Nationstar Mortgage. Got pushed to them from another mortgage company and from day one, they never treated me like a customer. From day one they robo dialed my number multiple times if the payment was not applied on the first date of the due date. There's a grace period. I never let it go past three days after the due date, but got the calls anyways. Even when I paid on the 2nd I got harassed. To top that off, they charged me for many years to make my mortgage payments online. Never in my whole loan term did I have to do this. They finally make online payment free, but never refunded me for all that time they were charging me. What a scam.

    Then I tried to get my house refi under HARP. Not only did they waste my time, but they ran my credit a total of three times in a period of four months claiming Fannie Mae wouldn't not take a risk on me. Guess what, I refi my rental under HARP and got the rate and customer service I deserved. Only took 24 days to close. Not one part about debt to income, or too much of a risk. I tried refi my Primary residence with them as well. Same story, continued the harassment, making me basically pull money out of my butt. Went with another mortgage company, closed in 30 days. Not only does Nationstar have unprofessional staff but are bent on making you miserable everyday they hold your loan.

    I am lucky that I never was late or had hardship, because I know they would have then downgraded me to trash and continued the questionable and illegal harassment. I am now waiting for my escrow and overpaid to be returned to me. I guarantee you they will screw me over again with that as I finally close this chapter of my life. If you see any paperwork that says your mortgage is being sold to Nationstar just find any excuse to refi, or sell off stuff to get a traditional refi. It will save your sanity.

    My second mortgage was transferred from BOA to Nationstar last July! We had just inquired with BOA about doing a short sale on this property that we could no longer afford. And then, wah la!! Next thing we knew the second was transferred to Nationstar. We contacted Greentree about doing a short sale and after the condo was on the market for 50 days Greentree offered to do a deed in lieu of foreclosure but based on the second releasing its lien for 10% of the loan balance. This is where Nationstar became a pain in my rear. To make a long story short... they don't return phone calls. They transfer you from one point of contact to the the next. They lose paperwork so you have to resubmit numerous times.

    We DID get our local congressman involved but it really doesn't help for those of you thinking about doing it. Even though our congressman was great about keeping up with everything and requesting the status of our acct numerous times. Nationstar replies to them and lies about everything making it look like we are the problem and not answering them. I have everything written down with dates and times and names of every person I've spoken to so they are only lying to themselves. Also, I demanded the note and they sent us the note on our first mortgage that they don't even service. When we pointed it out to them they sent us another note that wasn't even on our property and then when we pointed that out to them they responded with, "Well that's the one that was in your file"!!

    They sabotaged our DIL with Greentree so as a last resort we offered them 10% to settle and release the lien and they haven't replied. You can't even work with these banks... not once have they offered us a modification. They don't want to help you! Bank of America sold these loans to avoid the nat'l mortgage settlement so they wouldn't have to modify or help the homeowners in trouble. These big banks were accused of giving bonuses to their employees for losing paperwork and sabotaging any foreclosure alternative so they could accumulate penalties and fees because this is how they make more money along with other things but when the government cracked down and fined them they sold our loans to a few mortgage companies that aren't regulated and the law didn't apply to. How do they get away with this?

    So basically, and maybe I'M wrong but go with me on this, if a judge tells a husband that he has to pay his wife's car payment in the divorce he can just sell the car so he doesn't have to pay. Problem solved and everyone turns their heads and all is good! The banks are the cause of this whole nightmare we are all in and after given tax money to help the homeowners in distress they still just want to take the money and help no one except themselves. I hope there is a class action lawsuit against these crooks and I would love to be a part of it because I am a total victim.

    Our taxes have never been put into escrow since we got our original loan 10 years ago. We always pay the taxes and insurance ourselves. Because of serious financial trouble, we became delinquent on our taxes. Delinquent but not years. We were 1 payment behind. We received a letter from Nationstar stating they know that our taxes are late and they have the right to pay them and then charge us; if we had questions or plan on making payment please let them know the situation. We had this same issue one time with BOA. I had no problem working it out with them and they didn't touch anything.

    I faxed Nationstar as well as called and emailed stating we just needed 60 days and we would be completely caught up. I explained the reasons we were late and requested they work with us. We requested that they not touch anything unless we fail to catch up. We heard nothing. So we faxed another letter and called, also no answers. We applied for the three-month trial period as well as filed chapter 13. We had our property taxes that were delinquent put into the payment plan for our Chapter 13. When I log in to check the status of our request for the three-month forbearance I see that all of the sudden we had a negative escrow balance of over $3600. So now our mortgage payment goes up $665 per month.

    I asked how they expect me to pay this and they said, "Well, we don't know your situation." Yes you do, you have been informed of the bankruptcy by the court; I have sent letters and called you a million times. Now my attorney is trying to straighten out this huge mess. I will have to pay to amend the bankruptcy and take the taxes out of the payment plan which is more money out of our pocket. Not to mention they told us the amount they would pay if they did so was $1900. They took it upon themselves to pay the $1900 plus the next payment that wasn't even due yet.

    I have been on the phone all week with these people and I get nothing but the runaround. I keep hearing talk to your dedicated loan specialist. Well, I did and he had no idea what to do! And I could only get a response from him some of the time. Last time I did get a response, he provided me a new name and number and said, "Deal with her." I have emailed her twice and left three voice mails and have heard nothing back. I have not had one positive dealing with this company's customer service since they acquired my loan from BOA. Our forbearance period was approved so we figured we would use that time to try and pay some of this back escrow so our payments will not be so large. There is just no way I can afford that.

    When we got our mortgage we got a 80/20 mortgage so this is only the first mortgage. We still have another we pay monthly. I hope our attorney get somewhere with this company because I am at the end of my rope with them. My husband is a customer service manager and I was a team lead for several years. I can without a doubt state that any company who runs their customer service this way will have no happy customers!

EVER since it had been a nightmare with them. 2009 my husband had a wreck and had to have a spine infusion as well found out he has this blood disorder. Went behind on payments. It was hard to get anyone there to help us out. 2011 told us they might be able to do a loan modification for 40 years term. Went through the process, started the trial period. Fast forward 09/2013, notice was posted on our door foreclosure. We had to get out telling our 5-year-old we cannot stay here. Now they are calling and emailing requesting our IDs etc., etc. They sold our place in no time as will give the new owners a quick claim deed. My husband told me that day one he felt like they didn't have our deed. I am in on going with anyone that wants to put a suit against them or I will by myself. Just need the right direction to go??? Any help??

    My mortgage was with Bank of America. I was in a modification with Bank of America for 5 years. They sold my mortgage to Nationstar in 2013. Nationstar quickly approved my modification. However, the new contract added $100,000 to my original loan of $260,000. The contract I signed did not include my taxes and escrow. After sending the first payment, they began calling me telling me my payment was $500 more per month than what the modification contract I signed indicated. I mailed 2 checks which they claimed they never received. They have offered me no help; they have offered me a mortgage the same as where I started 6 years ago with Bank of America.

    As like the others, my mortgage was with Bank of America, and the servicing sold in 2013 to Nationstar Mortgage. BEWARE! They are taking your payments, posting them on different dates than received, then removing them and reposting them even days later, at times charging almost $100 more a month in interest actually owed.

    The original loan was paid off in December 2013. A small balance was due me because of their "overcharge" of interest due. This affair was/is complicated by the death of one of the principals. However, the court (with the original will) mandated a change in how the property was to be listed. Repeated attempts, with all the legal documentation, have been submitted to their "Escrow" balance department via certified mail. I have had no response.

    Numerous calls to their "customer service" an oxymoron at best has resulted in nothing. The "customer service" rep promises they will correct the "problem". Nothing happens. This isn't a large sum of money; it only demonstrates the total lack of interest. I'll just wait them out. Someday, when they need to "clear" their accounts, maybe, just maybe, they will realize that they cannot close out this account without following the legal procedures required. Anyone want to place a wager on when?

    I called to make my monthly payment and was told without warning or reason that my payment was $300.00 higher than the previous payments made because they reviewed my escrow and decided to charge me more. I am on the make homes affordable plan to lower my payment and have been for over a year and had no problem until my loan was bought by Nationstar from Bank of America. Why are you on an affordable plan if they can change the rate you pay every month with no warning, phone call, letter or explanation? This is completely unfair and puts me in a financial burden!

    NationStar has foreclosed on my wife's house even though payments were made. After making Payments and explaining that we live there and here is our contact information, they continued sending it to the tenant who never gave us any information about foreclosure or anything. They did everything they could to keep my wife from keeping the home. When they answer the phone, it's like they are reading from a script and could offer no explanation as to why the house was foreclosed on. And then the kicker - they held an Auction for the house and no one showed up because they didn't notify anyone the house was up for auction and as a result they tried to take possession of the house today. Didn't work well for them.

    I am filing a class action lawsuit against this company and would like anyone willing to join me. This company has done nothing but scammed. I am filing a countersuit against them for $300,000 and anyone else who wants to join the class action is more than welcome to jump on board.

    Here are the current issues.

    Nationstar email alerts and actual monthly statements do not agree on how much is due each month. For example, April email alert displays $530.05 while the actual statement displays $558.15. Nationstar is now recalculating an escrow shortage over a period of 24 months which I did not authorize. In fact in writing I specifically told Nationstar not to do this. At the end of the annual account analysis period there was an overage not a shortage. At the end of the annual account analysis period the overage was not refunded.

    Nationstar still has not cancelled my mortgage insurance. I have attempted this since June 2013 and again in writing March 1, 2014. This is in violation of HOPA! My current escrow should be $212.78 (insurance, $1,750 and taxes, $803.41). There is a low point but there is nothing in RESPA or Nationstar's Guide to Your escrow Account that says or allows the escrow to be calculated based on the low point. My annual escrow account balance reflects an overage!

    Nationstar has opened, to date, six different complaint files, assigned six different customer service agents and a Dedicated Loan Specialist and still has not addressed any of my concerns. Nationstar recorded incorrectly the tax status of the mortgage insurance. Nationstar has not disclosed who the mortgage insurance provider is. The closing balance from Bank of America and the Opening balance recorded by Nationstar appear to be different. The mortgage insurance payment recorded by Bank of America appears to differ from the payment recorded by Nationstar, for the same period.

    Nationstar did pay my taxes on time but it took three phone calls from me, three from my homeowners insurance carrier and two conference calls before Nationstar paid the homeowners insurance. It was received late, the policy was cancelled and had to be reinstated. This is definitely a violation of RESPA. What is my assurance this will not happen again?

    Nationstar appears to be administratively challenged since I had previously received two copies of the same letter, in the same envelope, from Ms.**, one of the five Nationstar Customer Service Agents. In recent mail, I received an additional three copies of the same letter, in the same envelope. Ms. ** suggested I remortgage if I cannot afford the escrow calculated by Nationstar but addressed none of the issues. I also filed complaints with my state legislators in Florida. If we do not complain this matter will not be remedied! Also, a class action suit sounds like a wonderful idea. I do not personally know how to initiate one but if someone does, let me know.

    I will never take out another mortgage with Bank of America for the simple reason they sold our loan to Nationstar Mortgage. We have no way to make our payment locally so I set an account on Nationstar's own website to go in and make payments. They actually CHARGE me an extra $10.00 to go in and make my payment on time, on their own website. We have no choice in this other than mail the check and never know if it got there on time. You are also charged the extra fee if you call your payment in. We never agreed to this change in lenders or their policies. This should be illegal.

    I made an ACH payment from my bank account in the amount of $20,000 to Nationstar on March 19th. Nationstar refuses to credit my account for the payment even though I have provided them all the pertinent money transfer information that my bank, Capitol ONE 360, provided me. So, since I cannot get anywhere with Nationstar customer service on my own (they simply deny the payment was received), I took up the issue with Capitol One hoping to leverage the weight of that bank against Nationstar in hopes of a resolution.

    On March 26th, that lead to a 3-way call with me, a capitol one manager, and a Nationstar customer service rep. We pleaded for the Nationstar rep to get us to a manager or someone in the accounting department to help us trace this payment. But, she refused saying that that she would submit a report to their "research" department. I was also promised that a manager would "look into it" and call me back. Of course, that never happened. I'm still waiting. Seems that Nationstar is adept at stonewalling even the big guys. I did receive a response today from the research department denying my claim, but the response indicated they did nothing more than I look at my account and confirm that a 20,000.00 payment was not posted to my account. No research whatsoever was done.

    So, as of today, I'm still out $20,000.00 and there seems to be no way to resolve this matter. Capitol One refuses to take responsibility since they have "proof" the payment was made and accepted by Nationstar. Nationstar refuses to accept this "proof" and acknowledge the payment. Nightmare. If someone knows a good lawyer who can resolve this matter, please contact me.

    Loan sold from BOA to Nationstar. No problems until refinanced Harp Loan with Greenlight. All going well until automatic payment was taken in February prior to payoff in error. Immediately contacted Greenlight who confirmed they see the payment and it would be refunded. Waited 2 weeks and not refund. Contacted Greenlight; they advised Nationstar is responsible for refund. This is where the nightmare begins.

    Called Nationstar; was on the phone for 2 hours being transferred from one country to the next. Nationstar rep looks at my account and states "I've never seen anything like this before." She would have someone call me back. 1 week later I call back on the phone for 2 hours again. Same response. "I'm not sure what is happening it shows we mailed an escrow payment to you on 2/28/2014." I advised I did not receive it. I was told I had to wait 30 days from mail date before they would resend. Also advised second check on it's way. I asked why didn't they just refund my payment in full when they received the pay off. Crickets... Was advised I would get a call back next day. No call.

    I call Greenlight back to advise of the events and they are just as confused as I am. However they do not have a contact at Nationstar to resolve (What??). They have to call customer service. Unbelievable. Was advised they reduced the amount of the payoff due to my payment (What??). Does this mean I am not getting my refund? Does this mean I will be afforded an additional month without a payment to reconcile? The answer was no. I should get a refund. ??? I contacted Nationstar again and spoke to a supervisor who sounded promising.

    During one of my calls I was advised to let the first caller know I want to speak to someone in the United States to ensure I got to someone who could see my account in its entirety and can resolve my issue. Apparently this is the cause of my 2 hour calls and multiple transfer. So I spoke to a supervisor who advised I should get the escrow check and the other check and he would contact his executives to resolve.

    In the meantime I am receiving all kinds of letters in the mail stating my loan was for the original amount and not the reduced amount and that I have an escrow refund coming. I have contacted Greenlight loans and advised I was no longer able to contain this concern within their company and would be seeking outside influence. 5 days ago I received a letter from Nationstar advising my 1st mortgage payment will be $60 higher than what was quoted in my Greenlight Loan agreement. I will not be paying anyone anything until I get my refund. I believe an escrow account can be created outside of Nationstar to house my payments until this is resolved as not to have an adverse affect on my credit.

    Was forced to use this company when Bank of America sold my mortgage to them in 2013. Never in my life have I had so many problems trying to PAY my mortgage payment! I set up an account online to pay my mortgage, like I always have and for the first few months everything was fine. The 4th month, for whatever reason, my payment did not go through and when I called to find out why the money had not come out of my bank account (THEY did not even notify ME, I am the one who noticed that it hadn't been taken out of my account), they told me it must have just been an error and that they could enter the information over the phone and make the payment that way.

    I gave them my bank information and was given a confirmation number and hung up, assuming there would be no further issue. What a HUGE mistake that was! Apparently, the person who entered my bank information entered a typo, which from that point on deemed my bank account INVALID! This SAME bank account that I used to pay my mortgage for YEARS to Bank of America and also to Nationstar for the first 3 months, they were telling me is now invalid.

    I assured them it was NOT invalid and that they needed to correct the issue on their end, as it was NOT my error and NOT my bank's error, though they tried to tell me to contact my bank (when I did, the bank asked what they could do since the money was in the account and there were no holds on the account - there was simply no reason for them NOT to be able to get to the money unless there was a problem on NATIONSTAR'S end). For months I went through the same thing...ultimately ending up with late fees by the time I got someone to get a payment to go through.

    I eventually had to change the way I paid my mortgage all because Nationstar couldn't figure out how to FIX their system that made my bank account invalid, as far as they were concerned - though when I sent a check from THAT VERY SAME BANK to them, they sure cashed it and it was VERY valid! I NEVER paid my mortgage late, not with Bank of America and not with Nationstar (until THEIR issues caused the payments to be a few days late) and I am furious that I was forced to deal with this company. There ought to be a law against "selling" mortgages.... This is a lot of money and I should have a choice in who is handling mine for me!

    I was originally with Aurora Mortgage and never had a problem. I was in the middle of a modification and never received a notice that Nationstar took over. I finally got modification papers from Nationstar and paid for modification and first month. A week later I got a call and said check bounced. I called the bank and my account had been compromised. I called back and and said that I could pay for modification, but I needed a few days for first payment. Told that was okay and to pay by Jan 7th. I sent money Western Union and made sure it got to the mortgage company. They said everything was good.

    The next month I come one night and there is a note on door to get in touch with a real estate agent. I almost had a heart attack. I came in and called Nationstar. I was assured it was a mistake, was told they sold my house on Jan. 10th. I was in shock. Said the loan would be rescinded. It took forever and I got a lawyer to read the papers. Everything was filed in July and things were fine. In Aug., I got a letter saying I owed $30,000. Again, I am in shock. Called and they said it was a mistake, and the agent was shocked that when I mentioned modification because he said it was never done and bookkeeping would call in three days. I spent hours on the phone and nothing happened. I told them I would not pay until it was settled.

    On top of that, I am a real estate agent and I was shocked to see my house on Auction.com. The stress I have endured is crazy. I found out there was an office in town, wished I had known that a long time ago. I went there and was told they just laid off 100 people and only 20 were left. Not shocked at all. I talk to the manager and she was really sweet. She hopped on the phone to see what was going on. We were on the phone almost three hours. She was really upset, they kept saying all these lies and then said I was in foreclosure. I never had a clue. She told me to get a lawyer and even offered names.

    Yesterday, I called to get some documents and my friend did a conference call with me. She has been in the mortgage business for 30 years. She also said she has never seen an operation like this. We finally hung up the phone after 3 hours and 45 minutes. Apparently, they sent three certified letters all on the same day and I never got one. I really don't think the post office can mess up that badly. So now I have to go through the stress and panic of saving my house. I also found out they emailed a modification in Oct. and it was $300 less than the one before. Why were they doing that, I already had a modification. The email looked like spam and no one called. Their customer services sticks. I have way too much equity to lose house, but not feeling hopeful about this at all.

I was told that it "was on the way." I called again March 5, 2014. They said they would contact DeKalb County where I reside. I called on March 6. "Lee" said "I promise you that the letter will be sent," but would not give me a confirmation number. I called again on March 13. Josie said that she was "processing" my payoff letter, but could not find the supervisor that I was requesting to speak to. She would not give me a confirmation number or order number. She looked at my file and said that she could understand my frustration, and would have a supervisor call me back.

    I called on Mar. 13 and was told that I should have the letter in 7 days. I called on March 19 and was told that I needed to wait 7 days from the original "request" to receive the letter. March 24th, I called again and was told that I should receive it on Wed., the 26th. On Mar. 24th, I inadvertently received an advertisement in the mail from a “mortgage consultant”. I decided to call and when I mentioned Nationstar his response confirmed my fears. He referred me to the complaints against Nationstar - unbelievable pattern.

    My observations: Loans in overwhelmingly large numbers sold by Bank of America. Was Bank of America complicit in this fraudulent activity? I looked up the executive structure of Nationstar: Bingo! Jay Bray is CEO and Chief Operating Officer of Nationstar. He had "a variety of leadership roles at Bank of America from 1994 to 2000". 4 of the six members of the Board of Directors of Nationstar have formerly had high positions with Bank of America! On Nationstar's website: "Customer Service is in our DNA," "Nationstar is ranked 2nd among the top 10 services for fewest complaints from delinquent borrowers". (How are they defining "delinquent"? What about "non-delinquent" borrowers?)

    Questions: Has anyone actually seen them or their offices? Why are they protected by the legal system? How can the United States Government allow companies like Nationstar to operate in an illegal and unconscionable fashion? Where is the accountability? Yet we, who have very little compared to these companies and executives, are severely penalized if we do not make loan payments on time. Is this "Justice"? Request: to be contacted regarding a class action suit. Final Comment: The fact that hardworking homeowners are subjected to this kind of illegal and disreputable behavior is shameful and reflects on the entire business structure of this country.

Since the purchase, what was a very normal and stress free process, has become very stressful and turbulent. First they deleted my automated payment schedule that I had setup, then charged me a late fee when payment was not received on time. I had a very difficult time rescheduling the automated payments.

    Now this month, after checking my bank account, I found out that they increased my mortgage payment by approximately $400!! After three (3) unsuccessful attempts to contact them, I finally spoke with someone in the escrow office that told me my escrow account was increased. I did not receive any notification from Nationstar, and she could not eloquently explain why it was increased, other than to explain that the requirements for the escrow account at BOA is different that at Nationstar.

    Why was my loan purchased if the terms could not remain the same?? Why should I be forced to a higher payment because of this? I do not understand how these companies are allowed to continue operating, while conducting such unethical and illegal practices.

    Nationstar mortgage bought my husband's mortgage loan from Bank of America several years ago and we could not be unhappier with it. We are both in the military. When we got furloughed, they did not provide us with any sort of payment assistance, extra time for payments or even a deferment, even though their website falsely advertises help for military families. I had spoken to several friends who explained all the help their mortgage companies gave them during the extremely difficult furlough and was embarrassed that my mortgage company was doing nothing. That was only 1 of many incidents with Nationstar.

    When I moved in with my husband, (then boyfriend) I added my name to the authorized list so that I was able to make payments over the phone. We had to fax in a letter requesting this. After almost 2 years, I still waste the first 10 minutes of every phone call explaining that I am an authorized member on the account and the customer service representatives just finally give up and let me make the payment.

    Today, I got on the phone with a customer service representative (APRIL) who seemed like she had never spoken to anyone on the phone before. I understand this is a mortgage company and verifying the identity of individuals is very important, however, she should have gotten a degree in beating a dead horse. The first thing she asked me was for the loan number. Since I do not have that memorized I provided her with the SSN. After giving her the SSN she then asked me to verify the last 4 of the SSN........... Not that big of a deal, but after asking me to verify the home address and phone number, name on the account, my name, etc. she asked me again for the last 4. I just ignored this and kept going.

    After jumping through the usual "who are you, you are not authorized on the account" routine, we finally proceeded with making the payment. She tells me that my mortgage payment is nearly $40 more than I usually pay and that she was also going to charge me a $15 convenience fee for making a payment over the phone. *Record scratch*. What?! Mind you we pay over the phone EVERY month and have NEVER paid a convenience fee. When I explained this to her she said and I quote "Oh I am unsure of why you have never paid this, but I will give you a one-time only discount and only charge you $9.99 is that ok? That is the price you would pay if you paid online so I will help you in making that same price."

    Being in the military and working with disgruntled people all the time, I never raised my voice and kept the phone call as professional as possible. But I was very angry at this point. I asked her if this was a new process and also asked her to please check all past payments we have made to see that we have never paid such a fee. She continued to push the "discounted price" of $9.99. I refused to pay a fee I had never paid before unless it was a new process but she continued to push the fact that Nationstar has always had that fee. Finally, she gave up and said "Ok I will waive this fee for this month only, but just note that you will have to pay it again next month if you pay over the phone. "

    At this point I was so angry, I had forgotten about the extra $40 that was being charged. I re-visited that and she explained to me that this was a late fee. Well, surprise, I have never been charged a late fee before either. My husband and I were both victims of unemployment and also furloughed in late 2013 and fell behind on our mortgage. Little by little we caught up as much as possible and were making payments when we could and were NEVER charged a late fee. I explained this to her and when she looked at the history of payments she said, "Yes ma'am I do not see any late fees before, but they were always paid on time." I am not proud to say that those payments were not made on time during our furlough, however, we still were never charged an additional $40 last year or EVER for that matter.

    After an exhausting what seemed like an eternity on the phone, it was my turn to give up and finally just asked her to process the payment. She then asked me for the routing and checking number. Normally this would not bother me, however, we use the same alternating 2 accounts and both are always saved. I told her to use the *insert bank name here* account and she said she did not see it. I told her it is usually there every month did something happen? She proceeded to tell me that they had no record of them ever using that account... I told her "Ok, I will just give you the information again just add it." She was like, "We can only add 1 at a time so I will delete the previous account information and replace it with the new one." I spent another 5 minutes explaining that we use both accounts and to just keep both on file. After giving her the routing number and account number and a long pause, the phone got "disconnected". I was livid at this point.

    I called back and spoke to someone else. I explained that I was in the middle of processing a payment and the phone call got "disconnected". This new representative put me on hold for 5 minutes and the call got "disconnected" again. I called back a third time and spoke to another customer representative who explained that my payment went through. This means that the phone call really did just get disconnected, or after processing the payment, the original customer service representative (APRIL) just hung up on me.

    I will say that the customer service rep (APRIL Her name is April) was never rude or raised her voice at me, but it seemed as if she was just inventing things to charge me for. I understand it is a business, but a poorly organized one. This company has never made us feel proud to give them money and it has always been like pulling teeth to make payments. You would think a company who prides themselves of robbing their customers would make it easy just to take money from them and not have them jump through hoops. If you are late, they bombard you with phone calls. But when you try to call them back to make payments, they make it the most difficult bill paying experience ever. I cannot wait to switch mortgage companies. I am surprised they are still in business.

    NationStar became the servicer of my loan from BofA in late 2013. Somewhere in the transfer, NationStar made a clerical error and misspelled my name. I called in several times and sent in request via the website to make the corrections. I finally got a response back from the website saying I needed to send in two forms of ID and a birth certificate to make the correction that they mistakenly made. I replied back to look at the original loan documents that a notary looked at and verified when we originally signed.

    The second issue and more pressing issue is, per the loan Note, the servicer of the loan is supposed to give no less than 30 days notice of a change in rate/payment. I received my March 2014 statement on March 3, and the payment increased nearly $400 from the previous Feb payment without any notice. When I called NationStar to why the payment increased without a notice, I was informed I had a fixed rate product and that no notice was sent because the interest rate doesn't change in a fixed rate loan. I asked the Customer Service Rep what was the rate in Feb, (4%) and what it is in March (5%), and she was dumbfounded and was unable to answer any more questions and told me that the rate wouldn't change again until March of 2015. She agreed that the bank has to give a notice on any rate/payment change, but didn't have any answer to why no notice was sent. I demanded to speak with a supervisor since she was unable to help.

    After a long hold time, a supervisor got on the line and confirmed that the interest rate did change and that's why the payment did change, but did not know why NationStar did not send any payment/rate change letter. He also let me know that they did not have the Note to the loan, so he was unable to assist me further until the requested it from the previous servicer and see what obligations NationStar has to me. I have a copy of the Note, and it says that the loan servicer has to inform the customer no earlier than 30 days of a change in rate/payment.

    I proposed a resolution to the bank of accepting payment for March and April of the payment at the 4% interest rate and start the May payment at 5% because I received notice on March 3 thus NationStar eating the difference for March and April for failure to give notice in proper time without any fees or negative credit reporting. I also demanded for NationStar to show proof of the Note and Deed to show legal standing to service the loan. NationStar needs to abide by the contract they bought into including the modification agreement that specifically states that the agreement does not cancel or supersede the original note except the specific items that the modification addresses.

They automatically put extra payment toward my principal. And when I calls to express my concerns. They'll put me on hold for 35-45 minutes at a time. This company is a joke, real joke.

After trying several times to submit the paperwork on our end, I lost out on two sales for the house while waiting to hear anything from nationstar. They kept saying they didn't get the forms. It frustrated my real estate agent so much that she quit. So I opted for a deed in lieu. I submitted the paperwork and kept in contact with my representative. He said that the deed in lieu was going through and that was the last I heard from him. I called and called and sent email after email to find out anything for four months. I got nothing and when I did talk to a representative the story changed time after time. The house went into foreclosure because they said I had a second mortgage when I know I didn't have one.

When asked why it appeared late, I was told by the Nationstar rep that they "were experiencing bad weather and didn't get any payments posted on time in October". These two issues have caused my credit rating to drop drastically so I cant even refinance to get away from Nationstar. I have spoken to 37 different reps at Nationstar and cannot get this resolved!

Our house payment went from $1500 to $2300 per month. It took us calling twice a week and being transferred to about 4 people before we got to speak to the person in the right department. This is the most frustrating experience we had to deal with. Luckily, we were able to make the house payment because it took about 6 months before we received a refund that was applied to the escrow balance and monies refunded to us.

    Nationstar bought my mortgage from BOA last July. I have never been behind on my loan but my husband was diagnosed with an incurable medical condition and has had to go on disability. I wanted to lower my payments to keep from getting behind on my payments. I applied for the HAMP program in September of 2013. I finally found out in February of 2014 that I was not approved but in the meantime, they paid my taxes and insurance that I was already paying on like I have been doing for the past 10 years and they set up an escrow account. They told me they would spread out the amount they paid over 60 months so that I could afford the payments and then I find out that even though I talked to at least 5 people who told me that this would be taken care of, they said they could only do it over a 12 month period which raised my payment by $427.00. I am in a worst position now than what I started. Nobody cares and nobody wants to listen. It is like they are all talking from script. My letter and emails have fallen on deaf ears. I know that they have violated UDAAP because of the way my information was handled. I was told that I was approved on the website and would get papers in 10 days and after 10 days I called and was told that the message is a standard message that is sent to everyone.

    It took an act of congress to get the escrow removed from my account, but they still did not honor their agreement to spread out what they had paid out. It is very frustrating. They need to be taught a lesson in telling the truth and making sure their staff is well educated. I never spoke to either of my two dedicated loan specialists even after leaving them both several messages. I was promised that all would be taken care of and no late fees would be incurred. I went to pay this online and they wanted to charge me a fee. I was so mad that I called and refused to pay it and they took the payment over the phone. I had no choice but to pay the higher payment and it is putting a financial stress on my family. I would gladly participate in a class action suit.

They took one payment from us, one was drafted from our bank account, and then the next month, they wouldn't take a payment. We requested a modification through Nationstar, after sending in paperwork for months, we were assigned a case manager. To this day I don't think this person exists, after several emails, fax, and phone calls, we get a package in the mail saying we were approved for a modification, our payments went from $345.00 a month to $740.00 a month. We called as soon as we got that letter. We were told we were still under review, told them about the letter and they had no idea what we were talking about. Said they would get in touch with our case manager and she/he would call us back. That's been a week ago. I read where, by law, a modification is to help you repay your loan with a reasonable amount.

    Nationstar acquired my mortgage from Bank of America last fall and it's been a living hell and the stress unbearable. My mortgage was always $932 until February 2014. Without warning, it is now $1,100.00. I've always paid monthly mortgage in the amount of $1000.00. The nightmare started when Nationstar applied February's payment that was received on January 31st to my home principal and then harassed and demanded that I pay $1,100. No one cares that I kept saying that I paid February's mortgage. I request a breakdown of my escrow to see why the jump, and I was told to pay and get it straighten out later so further action will not be taken against my home.

    My reply was that I was not going to pay for something when I don't know why or what the charge is for. I was told it was noted at Nationstar that I refused to talk with the escrow dept and I told him it should also be noted that I requested my breakdown of escrow in writing not over the phone. ALSO, since it was Feb 28th, I asked when will I get March statement and was told, "I would get it when February amount of $1,100 was paid.." I lost my mind and hung up. I then rec'd March statement on March 8th. I called Nationstar on March 10th and advised their rep Desiree that for the record, I was recording our conversation and I had a friend (who identified herself) for legal purposes.

    Desiree stated it was a glitch in their system and March statement was mailed late and she was the first to admit my $1,000 payment can be reapplied for Feb's mortgage. She stated the escrow dept sent an email to an old address that has not existed in 4 years She could not open the email. I told Desiree that my insurance co informed me that Nationstar paid them twice and the extra payment was returned and cash, I want it all in writing to make sure I'm not the one paying for Nationstar's mistake and them charging me for it is not legal... I shared my concerns over the crude and hostile methods Nationstar is using to force me to pay. To date, I have not received a breakdown of my escrow, but is receiving demanding letters and phone messages. What kind of mortgage company is this? Is this collection agency being investigated?

I have my paperwork and we do not escrow and never have, in Sept they contacted my Insurance company and paid the bill out of my escrow account that was to be used for property taxes only. First I had canceled the policy effective 09'22'2013 for a better price with another carrier so they got paid and I did not even have insurance with them. I called AARP and they refunded me that money. I called Nationstar. They apologized for the error and said it was corrected since mine gain was paid for the next year. I sent it to Nationstar so that my account would not be short. I thought we were all set and then today we get a billing statement adding Insurance to my bill. I called and was met with a combative representative who now claims we have to pay now for next year and they will pay it for me. That gives them money for over a year and I have always paid my own. That is not in the terms of my mortgage, I asked several times to be transferred to someone who could better understand what I was saying.

    On Principal I am refusing to pay for something I already have paid for. I would not recommend them as they are not capable of servicing these loan they purchased. I was with BOA for 10 years, never escrowed homeowners and never had one single problem with them. Do not do business with them unless you want to be stuck in a circle like I was today for over an hour and still it ended with me telling them I would get a lawyer involved as they are not getting one Penny for escrow until they correct their error.

It is not supposed to be collected through the escrow account (we live in a condo so its different from a single family home). 4 or 5 months after we refinanced, I found out that they paid my insurance premium for the year. After calling them and telling them again that they are not supposed to be paying it, they sent another payment. When I asked them today where that money came from, they said it came from the money that is supposed to be set aside to pay my taxes. So now my escrow account is short close to $500 because they paid my insurance using the money that was set aside to pay my taxes!!! Now they have to re-analyze my account and my payment will go up so that we can make up the difference for the shortage. COMPLETE IGNORANCE!

I gave verbal authorization for Nationstar to withdraw the specific amount of our mortgage payment. Again, they read the amount of the bill to me and asked for my consent to withdraw the specified amount from my checking account. They did not include any additional amount or ask me to provide my verbal consent to an additional convenience fee, but I was actually told that there would not be an additional fee for paying over the phone. Two days later, I received an alert from my bank that Nationstar had withdrawn $15 in excess of my monthly bill.

    I called Nationstar again, and was lucky to reach a nicer person this time. She admitted that Nationstar withdrew the extra money without my consent, and that the fee was charged not only by an error of Nationstar's, but also that we should not have been charged a convenience fee because the only reason we paid by phone was because Nationstar failed again to send us a bill. The customer service rep said she could not assure the money would be returned to me or credited to me at anytime in the future.

    While $15 does not seem like a lot of money, by principle this is very very lousy business practice. I don't see how it is legal to take money from somebody's bank account without their permission. Furthermore, this $15 that was taken without our prior consent or knowledge could have caused our account to overdraft or go below the minimum balance, which is even more costly than the original $15.

    I don't see how a company can continue to get away with causing so many consumers financial and credit damage. We have made every payment on time throughout the duration of our loan. It seems as if Nationstar is hopeful that people will miss their payments. THIS PLACE INFURIATES ME! They ought to be shut down.

    My mortgage was sold from BOA to Nationstar. I used to pay 720 to BOA. In one year they jacked my payments to 795 and now it is up to 995$. They don't give explanations to why they keep using escrow, tax and insurance lies to charge more. They push you to refinance to screw you up. When you don't refinance they increase your payments to push you to refinance. THEY ARE SCAMMERS AND LIARS. There should be an action against them.

    Communication with Nationstar is very bad. I left my dedicated loan specialist over 15 vmessage and she never called me back. I got a manager involved and though he was somewhat better he was unapologetic and he also drags his feet getting back to me. I am trying to do a modification and at first every time I talked to someone they said they did not receive my paper work or it was the wrong paper work. When I would try and call and speak with that person again or email that person I never heard from them again to find out what else they needed. Dealing with them has been a nightmare. Trying to get something done or find out what needs to be done and get a response is a joke. I have never dealt with such poor customer service.

    Our mortgage too was sold to Nationstar from B of A. Our taxes were not escrowed and we never signed anything stating that they would be escrowed. Nationstar paid our taxes without us knowing and never even warned us. The town taxes we had already paid by us and the school taxes we were paying the same day their transaction went through. They then, without notice, forced our escrow and raised our payment almost $400. We could not afford this! We continued to try to fight this for 2 months and they would do nothing for us until we contacted the BBB. The response we received was mostly lies and the document that they submitted to the complaint said nothing about a forced escrow.

    We began to shop for a refi which we were successful in obtaining. It takes a while to close so in the meantime we have received at least 5 calls a day. This is harassment if you ask me. We have been paying the mortgage payment and the interest but because Nationstar refused to credit and instead put our money in a suspense account (or apply it to escrow) our account according to them is late. Now they are tacking on late charges. The last piece of documentation my lawyer needed to close was a payoff statement. It took them 3 days (of me calling) to get this. When I did, I was shocked to see I have been charged 3 months of interest. I have made our payments on time so there is no reason why I should have been charged 3 months. I should have only been charged for the month of March. They also have compounded late charges. They refuse to work with me on any of this.

    I am disgusted and am really happy that we are refinancing with another company. We also have a rental property that was sold to them. We will be refinancing that one next. Even if it doesn't save us any money - it is worth it. Good luck to anyone who has to deal with these crooks.....

    We refinanced our home through Nationstar Mortgage LLC, DBA Greenlight Loans in October of 2013, saving us almost $200.00 a month. Since we were already with Nationstar we assumed all would be the same. I always received my statement stating that I could make my payment on the first of month or pay late fee if received on or after the 17th. Since my auto loans were always due at the first of month I set up payment to be made by the 17th as I had always done previously. All of the sudden I was receiving calls, sometimes twice a day from Nationstar saying that my payment was late and I needed to make my payment. I informed Nationstar that I had always paid my payment before the late payment and was now told that I had to make at the beginning of the month. I called both of my auto loan providers and changed my payment to later in the month so I could make my home payment at beginning of the month. I then proceeded to make another payment that month to Nationstar so they would receive it before the first.

    I had made a payment for February on the fourteenth and then again on the 28th for March. I continued to receive debt collector calls from Nationstar. On Monday the third of March I received a statement saying that my monthly payment was now $816.23 more a month and overdue. I checked my bank statement and they had taken out for two payments so I called them. I was told by Natasha the debt collector that my payment went up and then she transferred me to the Escrow department and I was told that my yearly insurance payment had increased and was over 8,000 a year. I then was transferred to the Insurance Dept. and was told that she had no copy of my insurance payment and would have to obtain one. I asked if she didn't know what my insurance payment was, how it was determined that it went up to 8,000 a year to which I received no reply. She said she would get a hold of my insurance company and call me back.

    She called back and I was told to call back in a couple days, this is after I had been on the phone for over and hour. I called back in two days and after an hour on the phone was told that they would quit harassing me by calling to collect a debt and that I was to disregard statement saying my payment had been increased and that an error had been made on their part because they figured $8000 a year for insurance instead of $887.00 a year. I was then told to call back the following Wednesday to make sure things had been resolved.

    Today, March 12th a week later, I receive a call at 9:30 am from Nationstar telling me my payment including the $816.23 more was due today and did I wish to make payment over the phone? I asked to speak to someone in the escrow department after explaining to them what I had just went through the previous week. Maria in the Escrow department after over an hour on the phone tells me that my payment is now $120.47 more a month because of shortage in escrow of $1,424.44. She cannot tell me why there is a shortage and says the only thing she can figure is that when we refinanced there was not enough taken out for escrow when closing. She then refers me back to collection officer and I ask to speak to loan officer who closed on our loan and am told by green light loan officer that they need to email Nationstar and find out what's going on and they will get back to me.

    I am disgusted that I was told today that I should just go ahead and pay the $120.00 difference a month to make up for insufficient amount. Why would anyone refinance their home to save money, pay over $4500. to do so only to have to pay $120.00 extra 5 months later because someone made a mistake when refinancing our loan? I told Nationstar I thought it was kind of fishy since a week earlier I was told to pay over $800.00 a month more and if I hadn't argued it they would have gladly taken my money and not cared enough to find their error and now a week later I am told to pay $120.00 extra a month because somehow escrow account is insufficient and they don't really know exactly why....So after over 3 hours on the phone since this all began I still don't have answers as to what exactly is going on and will have to continue being harassed daily until this matter is resolved...

    My issue with Nationstar Mortgage started in July of 2013 when my loan was sold to them by Bank of America. Dealing with this company has been a nightmare since day one. There has been a lack of follow up and communication. Once I received all my loan information from Nationstar I submitted my Making Homes Affordable Program packet. Every time I would call to check status all they would tell me was either they were missing a document or it was expired. I have been faxing documents in on a monthly basis since July 2013 to finally be told that I have been denied since I am so far behind in my payments and that they will be starting the foreclosure process. In addition, I have been sending payments in to help get caught up only for them to be refused and sent back. At this point I feel like Nationstar is more focused on taking homeowners houses vs helping them keep them.

    It seems to me that I have been getting the run around on purpose to cause me to get behind in my payments. After doing a little bit of research I can see I am not alone. It looks like this is just how they do business and us homeowners are stuck in a hard spot since we had no control over our loans being sold. I am now afraid that I am going to lose my house since this company seems to not have any business ethics. I finally said that I was fed up and filed a BBB complaint against them. After reading about all the complaints and investigations coming from New York, I'm glad to know that it's not just us homeowners that have concerns.

    Original Review: March 12, 2014

    From the start in July 2013, the modified loan documents were missing, albeit the modification was acknowledged as established fact, over the phone. I was told to proceed with making my payments, which I did electronically from my bank. After 2 payments, I was notified that those payments were being held in a suspended account. I also realized that somehow my loan was being tracked 2 ways: 1) according to the old, superseded loan, which had been behind by 4 payments, thus the modification, and the payment was ~$140 higher. On that, I monthly received a default letter. Track 2: the documents were missing and eventually I was asked to re-sign copies of the original modified loan documents in October.

    In the interim, I'd send the payments monthly. NS would send them back. I'd resend, etc., etc., until November, when we agreed on a pause in payment until the newly signed documents could be entered into their system. All along, I'd contact my "dedicated loan specialist" of the day. I had about 6, several times a month, because my payments came back, my statements were wrong, and I got default warning letters. I was told not to worry - this would all be cleared up as soon as the documents were properly registered. On December 19, I got a call to immediately make 2 payments to bring my account up to date that day, or else (?), whatever, which I actually did. I then resumed payments and made up the remaining returned payments in January and February.

    As of last week, I am still getting "debt collection" calls, insisting that I am 2 payments behind, which I am not, and that I owe some $ 5,000 from the missed payments that HUH took over. Of course, the default letters still arrive promptly every month, and are "signed" by that same loan specialist I'm assigned to, and can never reach by phone. As of today, I have sent off a letter to her, describing this same situation, listing the date of payments and returns, and attaching copies of my bank statements as proof, with an earnest request that she straighten out the situation. The alternative will be that I finally will seek legal help. Now I'm waiting to see.

    B of A had my loan at the time I lost my job, and I began modification. I was sent the paperwork right away. This was August of 2012. A few months later, the mod was still in process and they sold the loan to Nationstar, who made me send several more docs and told me to stop making payments. While this did not make sense, my finances kept me from making payments anyway so I felt like I was given permission. Obviously, my credit went into the toilet.

    It is now 3/14 and my modification is STILL NOT DONE. I have provided document after document, explanation of document, fresh document because the first one was too old, you name it. I am scared to death they are suddenly going to deny and foreclose on me. I have had good experiences with customer service though, even spoken to some who concurred that it was insane how your case could not stay with one underwriter who could actually complete the process.

    We got stuck from this company after American Financial (7-2012) sold our mortgage to them (9-2012). After having this company after seven months they gave me a hard time on paying my insurance, which is escrowed and within the closing documents. Additionally, they increased my mortgage insurance more than the closing docs. For weeks they were telling me "I had to obtain" the closing docs and provide to them. I threatened the BBB then all of a sudden they have the closing docs.

    After 15 months (10-2013), I called to see why my Mortgage Insurance was not decreasing. They told me I would paid over the whole life of the loan. Incorrect from many financial individuals and companies. They still have yet to get this corrected as they would rather increase than decrease. Your MI never increases. Two months ago (1-2014) I made a payment. As usual, I take screen shots and check the pending payment section. No pending payment after I just made it, but its okay. I had the screen shot and confirmation number. Waited THREE DAYS and then called and they state there was no payment. So, go and make another payment and obtained another screen shot with confirmation number. Well, funny thing was that night the first payment was deducted from my account and then the next day the second was deducted. I called them and provided the screen shots and I got "We will correct this", but then again I have a letter stating they want their money. Hello! You were only entitled to ONE PAYMENT!

I sent in $750.00 for Nov and they put the funds in suspense instead of applying to my statement balance and then call me that I must pay $1478.10 immediately! Explaining that I only have half and will payback as soon I find a job was useless.

    My daughter sent in a check Feb payment of $1478.10, a few days passed I called to see why it was not posted to the account. They told me an error was on the check, they were returning it then took her bank from her. The next day the check was cashed then they sent a letter informing me that the payment dated 2/6/14 drawn on Western Union was returned for reason: No Account/unable to locate account (they took the info and then cashed the check so the funds were not in the bank to cover two payments). Then charged me $15.00 dishonored fee. The letter further states that as a result of two or more returned items within a six month period a check block has been placed on my account. I have never have a check returned so I am clueless. To date they are still telling me that no payment was received from 1/1/14.

    Nationstar has too many departments doing the same work but they are all on a different page. They refer you to their website but when you send in a message they emailed back saying please call and then I will be on hold for ever. I am experiencing a temporary hardship and need help but from last Oct. I called and informed Nationstar for a Forbearance Plan; to date I have not heard from them. I now have the house on sale so that I can sell and move just to have peace and no more calls from Nationstar.

    My mortgage was sold to Nationstar by BOA a few years ago I was never told until I received a notice for no payment! The first time I called Nationstar I got thru right away! and complained how I was never told my Mortgage was sold to Nationstar. They tried to charge me the $10.00 fee but I utterly refused to pay it! And they said they would honor clearing it up! About a month went by, I started getting calls from them telling me my payment was late. They expected my payment on the first of the month! I told them my payment would be on the 15th take it or leave it! They kept calling me everyday or night sometimes after 9:00 pm telling me to setup an automatic payment and they would stop calling me! I told them if they didn't stop calling me I was going to sue them for harassing me. They explained they were just trying to remind me to pay, BTW, my payments were and are always on time.

    When I tried to setup the automatic payments, the latest you could pay was the 5th so I called again and could not get any real person to speak to! So I got an Idea I used another phone which wasn't recognized by their computer and when they asked for the policy, I didn't answer that question, BINGO a real voice! By this time I realized they were a bunch of crooks! In My Humble Opinion these people do not belong in the mortgage business! Please let me know when this lawsuit begins. I want in. There is a group called OPPT that says these mortgages are illegal we all have been duped and lied to.

    From what OPPT says the money for the mortgage did not come from the bank, it came from an account setup by the government in our names called the Strawman account, a trust that was setup by your birth certificate. So let's get this correct, when we signed the mortgage agreement it gave the agent POWER OF ATTORNEY over this Strawman account and they took our trust money to purchase the home! What this means is the Bank never loaned us the money! We all paid with our own money, are you all starting to catch on? Then they sell your mortgage signing your name without your knowledge or consent which again is fraud!

    OPPT is telling everyone to file a UCC-1 Financing statement which gives you and I control over this Strawman account also know as the Treasury Direct Account! And stops these agents from touching this TDA. The next step OPPT says to do is Discharge this debt with the Accepted for Value process! A friend of mine did this and a month later he checked the bal. on the mortgage, guess what? The Bal was 0. The mortgage co. tried to intervene. He asked them for every document with respect to this mortgage and also asked them to produce the "WET INK" contract! They couldn't which means they do not have any authority to our mortgages!

    Everyone starting to see where I'm going? I suggest everyone look into the Strawman or OPPT and read or listen to the videos. All I can say is once you use the UCC-1 you are in control. Please check them all out before you accept any deals with mortgage agents. BTW every last one of these mortgage companies is and will continue defrauding home owners. One last thing OPPT won its case in court and proved the Mortgage system is pure fraud! Your mortgage was paid in full when you sign the original contract!!!! which was destroyed immediately after closing. Wonder why hint FRAUD!!!!

They do not sign their letters for the most part. They make statements that are conclusions of law misleading the people. They violated the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act for which I am preparing a case against them. They put in affidavits in foreclosure cases that are absolute nonsense...as a matter of course. In short this is not a servicing company. They are ONLY in the servicing to illegally foreclose on your home. So how did they get all the rights to foreclose? They seem to think that just being the "holder" of the note (where they are not named at all) is enough. Well look at your state's Uniform Commercial Code to see who has the right to enforce a note. Sure, the HOLDER. But how, exactly, did they get ALL of the rights of a holder.

    Original Review: March 10, 2014

    We are under water in our home and contacted Nationstar in March of 2013 to pursue a loan modification. After three months, they denied us both HAMP and standard loan modifications. We then decided to short-sale in August of 2013. Within a week of listing, we had several cash offers and we accepted one that actual offered $10K more than our asking price. The buyer opened escrow and we submitted the package to Nationstar. Then we did not hear from them for three months. After numerous escalations by our realtor and many phone calls, they have responded by asking for re-submission of forms we have previously submitted twice. Their inaction has caused this short-sale to roll into 2014 and now with the Mortgage Debt Forgiveness Act not extended, I face a tax bill of $10K-$15K in 2015. I know that when I began the process in August, they had received a flood of new mortgages from B of A and perhaps that has overwhelmed them. However, we continue to suffer due to their lack of responsiveness and incompetence.

    I have Nations*** (star) as a Mortgage Co. I wanted to have more paid down on my home for retirement. My payments currently are $2166.26 in July 2012, I began paying $3000.00 a month, two payments a month of $1500.00. The first payment on or around the 1st of the month; the second on or around the 10th. The first payment held in "limbo" waiting for the additional payment to make up the difference and the remainder going to principal. All was good for a while...then some genius sent the first payment to principal and the second payment was held...so the cycle continued.

    My payments were being send to principal and then I would get a $84.00 late fee. I would call and they would do some changes and apologize then a $10.00 fee would show up. Each month the same thing!! One "customer service" gentlemen (I use the term Customer Service loosely) replied to me "hey at least your principal is going down". So then I began paying the full payment on the 1st and additional fees near the middle of the month. And...they began holding that payment and when I would pay the 1st of the month payment, they would make the the payment and but applying it to the previous month!!!! Oh My God! I called in January, when I received a certified letter stating that they are foreclosing for no payment for Dec, Jan.

    I made full payment on 12/5 and a 1/2 payment on 12/15, then another full payment 12/3, 1/2 payment 1/15 and full payment 2/4. Ok..They took my 1/2 made in Dec. and my full payment made on 12/31 (which was for 1/1/2014). And applied it to principal!! You know why?? Because the system can't handle two payments in the same month!! So, when I paid the rest of the payments they went directly to principal!!!! I called and an agent "fixed" it, told me to make an additional payment for Feb.

    So I did..what happened? Well, my "extra" payment went to principal!! I go to make my March payment on the 7th and showed I was late for February. I tried to refinance and discovered that I had 10 over 30 day lates on my credit!! Per Nationstar records, I have made every payment not late! I called again spoke with a Manager and requested that my account be fixed in a week. Lates removed from my credit with in a week or I will obtain a lawyer!

    BOA sold our account to Nationstar as well as many have said. My experience has been a frustrating nightmare from the start. BOA raised my payment due to escrow increase, so I changed my homeowners deductible and sent the reimbursement right back to BOA as additional escrow to lower payment to original balance. That's when I was sold to nation-star. The payment never changed back and money was in unapplied funds. Then the fees started, then got behind couple months before found better job. But by then the foreclosure notices came and fees and more fees. Applied for modification at their suggestion......last year. Filled out all paper work but somethings always missing. They say "one more" it never ends. Tried to settle with them amount behind on payments....oh no! they just added 2700$ in att fees and said no. They are foreclosing while supposedly applying for modification. They are trying to steal our home!!

    We had our loan transferred from BofA to Nationstar. My husband and I went through a bad financial time in 2013. His employee was stealing from him. We were not able to make our payments and we were able to get a loan modification from Nationstar. We made our 3 trial payments and were set up on a payment plan to be taken out of his bank account the 10th of the month. Now it is March and I received a certified letter stating we did not make our payments and were behind $10,000. Nationstar did not send anything in the mail stating we missed our payments. It was a giant surprise to us to find out we were behind. Now how can we ever catch up? We were on our way to improve our credit and get on track but Nationstar through their neglect is making user to prevent that.

    This company are a bunch of crooks. They have taken money from us but haven't acknowledged a payment on our account! We too, are former BofA customers, always paid on time, never a problem. Two months after the transition, we made a payment, on time as usual, and they didn't credit it. Then they slapped a late fee on. We even sent proof of payment, as it cleared our bank, and they are still not acknowledging the payment. In addition, they now show us five months late! They have destroyed my husband's credit!

    My mortgage was transferred by Bank Of America to Nationstar in 2013. Their Customer Service is horrible. The reps are not properly trained and don't give correct answers to the questions that I have asked. I have been trying to get the overpayment amount that was applied to my 2013 escrow account since November 2013. I know that my escrow account was overpaid by $600. However, I have called over 20 times to request this overage to be refunded. Each and every time I get a different answer to my question. One rep admitted to me that they did not have the escrow balance correct and that they could not send out an Escrow Analysis for me to review how they are handling funds pertaining to the Escrow Account for my property.

    I asked them to tell me who owned my mortgage? Who is the investor who owns my loan? They could not even answer that question. I know that is ILLEGAL and who would I make a complaint to? I wish this company would be put out of business. It is a waste of consumers' time to deal with those scum bags at NATIONSTAR MORTGAGE. I hope that they are forced to close because they are the same type of people that was involved in the mortgage fraud with how they operate. I am a advocate for them to SHUT DOWN!!

    Just last month, we noticed an increase of about fifty dollars on our mortgage payment to Nationstar. We called and were informed that this was the cost of an "appliance protection policy". We explained that we never ordered such a policy, but found out that a month earlier, when someone called about the policy, my wife said "send us some information about it." We discovered that once you do that, they consider that an order for the policy. We haven't been able as yet to find out the exact relationship between Nationstar and this "Total Protect Company," but we're still looking.

    Nationstar is incompetent and probably corrupt. My mortgage was sold to them by Bank America and nothing correct, required by my loan, has happen since then. I just got 5 dunning notices, one certified mail, and 20 robo calls for a reported delinquency that does't exist. Calls are pointless because their rep.s acknowledge the error, say they'll send out a loan history, and then the same wrong information starts again. I consider Bank America's act of selling my mortgage to Nationstar a breach of contract because Nationstar's bad reputation is generally known. Nationstar needs to be fined out of existence by the federal banking commission or agency that allows them to operate. They are a bad joke, massive waste of time, and do not contribute positively to the loan industry.

    My wife and I bought our home in 2005 during the peak of the housing Boom. After I lost my job, we refinanced to help cover cost while I was unemployed. We tried to ride things out when the housing market crashed. But, we were racking up more and more debt trying to stay in our home. Eventually the neighborhood had deteriorated so bad that we were more than 60% of our home value under water and not capable of making the payments any more. After our 3rd month of no payments we had received the auction sale notice and left the home. The auction sale never took place and shortly thereafter NationStar Mortgage took over servicing our loan.

    We are now approaching the 4 year mark with absolutely nothing processed on the foreclosure. We have been offered the opportunity to modify. My wife and I have seen the neighborhood and have no desire to live there. We have asked to do a deed in lieu. Nationstar says we have to list the home for sale for a min. of 90 days. I just want them to get the foreclosure over with. My wife and I have since returned ourselves to better times financially but because its taken so long our credit is terrible. I could have been more than halfway back to a decent credit rating and the ability to purchase a new home. But, instead the major hit to our credit hasn't even begun. This is ridiculous! Meanwhile the taxes and interest continues to pile up against the house which was scheduled to be auctioned off four yrs ago. I think this should be illegal.

    I had my house for almost 15 yrs. I started with GMAC mortgage which were great people, never had no problem with them ever until my loan was sold to Nationstar. I rented my house out for one year and mover to Arizona and when I came back the house was completely destroyed and and then found out that there wasn't any payment being made which was my fault for not checking into that ..... and foreclosure was being done so I started to do bankruptcy on the house but I felt bad 'bout doing that to the mortgage company so I talked to them and got things moving to getting the house back all good so far .....

    Nationstar first told me that my new payment would be 275.00, then they said it would be 375.00 with tax and ins. on it. I told them that's fine so I signed the contract. For about 6 to 8 months went by then my payment went up some. I didn't think much about it and kept making payments ........ Well after a year they forced my payment up to 466.03. I kept calling them and asking why. They said to pay escrow. I told them that was all taken care of in the paper work. He told me "you signed it, deal with it" and then he hung up.

    A few months went by and I couldn't make the full payment of the 466.03 so I sent in 400.00, and then I kept making payments on time in full and about 9 months later they send back the 400.00 I sent in and they called me and said that they have to have this amount of money, otherwise they wasn't going to accept anything lower than the amount I was told, not a penny less. And I told them I didn't have that kind of money ..... So I continued sending payments as I should only leaving me only 66.03 behind but now they will not take any money from me at all ..... They have sent back 4 house payments and they tell me that I'm behind 4 house payments when they had them they sent them back . So now the house is in foreclosure when it is not even my fault . I honestly feel they are discriminating against me because I am disabled and low income ..... and for that they are running me out of my home ... so I'm writing this just to see who really cares or to see who can help me yes keep in mind I have no money.

    My bank got me a mortgage with them, and the mortgage was quickly sold to Nationstar. Nationstar completely messed it up. They took my loan, and, suddenly decided my house was in a flood zone, which it is not. So, I called the number they gave me in the demand letter for flood insurance, and, they totally ignored any logic, facts, whatever I had. All they said was the “only” way to get flood insurance off of my loan was to get a LOMA certificate from the government. Ever try to get one? Not simple at all! Never mind all of the facts I provided, they couldn't care in the least, they ignored it. Never mind the original loan documented where my house was, they did not care. Surveys, FEMA maps, you name it, none was relevant, I had to waste taxpayer money getting a LOMA certificate.

    In the end, between all the various resources I had to contact and use, I spent close to 40 hours of effort to finally get it removed from my loan, plus the taxpayer cost of FEMA. I figure what happened was someone keyed it in wrong since anyone could see it was not even possible for me to be in a flood zone. So, all they had to do was actually listen to the customer for once and it could have been swiftly handled.

    So, I wrote their Consumer Affairs address, and, they basically said oh well, we fixed it, too bad. Never mind the cost to me on this. They are awful, completely ignoring any concerns or facts one may have. They simply ignore you and show zero interest in helping a customer. I was a customer not by choice, but by the selling of my loan. I can promise as long as I live, I will “never” do business with this company again. Unfortunately, I am stuck with them for the life of my loan. Every monthly statement will be a reminder of how much this company cost me.

Then a year goes by and they jack our payment up to more than it was before the modify because they did not have all the taxes figured for the escrow. They made the mistake but my family suffers because of it.

    Then the economy slowed down and I got behind one month and had been behind for over year and a half. All this time they were tacking on late fees and another fee, that they say was for someone to drive by and see if we had abandoned the house.

    I had originally started the refi process late November early December of 2013. I have had my mortgage through the same bank for the 7 years I have owned my home. Other than them changing names I have not changed anything on my end. My plan was to lower our interest rate as well as roll in our credit cards (minimal amount), which now has done nothing but ruin my credit. They told us we would close not to make Jan 2014 payment then told us 2 days before it would be late that we needed to pay it, which we have NEVERRR been late on a payment ($9.95 service charge for paying over the phone) because it needed to be paid asap. Then came the talk of finally closing again which we did Jan 23rd 2014 which would defer Feb payment and we wouldn't owe til March as stated on our closing documents.

    We have now closed and we are almost to March and I still have not received any payoffs on my cards, no one has answers for me and I have been given the run around as to where the money is and why my payoffs are not done considering I closed in Jan. I was told to contact a manager that would be sure to follow through and I have been waiting for him to call me back for 2 weeks now after leaving numerous messages. I have never been so stressed out in my life, not only am I showing a late mortgage payment but also late on my cards because no one would respond and when they did told me the payoff was sent. So now my loan is in the research department that apparently there is no number to contact anyone there so I sit and wait and my hands are tied. There is nothing more I could have done on my end.

    Now who will fix my credit? I was told in an email that the company would absorb some of the costs and fees as well any accrued interest for this past month, I asked for that in writing and to see exact numbers as to what my loan would be credited and when I asked now the woman doesn't know what I'm talking about. I have the email saved so I have done all my work. All the fees and closing cost I have now for what? Interest I have paid on a loan that nothing has been done with or late fees on my cards and mortgage, all because no one was honest about their mistakes.

    I finally called the closer today who doesn't even work for Nationstar and he was able to tell me the status of the payoffs they are funding today, I was told they funded well over a week ago. Absolutely the worst experience I have ever been through, inconsiderate employees, no return phone calls, no answers to your questions, I have asked to speak to managers and supervisors and have not been given any other contacts other than the one I have contacted for 2 weeks straight and still have yet to hear from.

It's like they have a bunch of Jr. high school dropouts working there. I am now receiving collection calls for a mortgage check I sent 10 days ago. It has not cleared yet, so I am not sure what the heck they are doing there. They say to allow 5 days, and it's been 10. The worst I ever had though, was Taylor, Bean and Whittaker who then transferred me to Cenlar, and lost automatic draft payments, etc. Letters of "apology" from them offering to correct my credit report, of course, never happened.

    I have a three ring binder full of correspondence from these clowns. It got to the point I sent everything certified mail. I am now looking around for a local servicer for this mortgage. I have post B.A. education, and let me tell you, these folks can give you a run for your money.

    On February 7th, 2014 I made a payment of $986.22 via telephone to Nationstar Mortgage company. I spoke to representative "Deandra" and with given authorization/confirmation number for payment to post that day. This payment posting did not happen. The error was caught and corrected on February 14, 2014. This was a human error on the data entry persons, which could have caused my credit to incur a negative report. How can this be prevented and/or corrected? Please research and reply.

    To this day I am reminded that they are a Debt Collector and that because I filed Bankruptcy clause on every bill and statement, and when I call them they have to transfer me to a specialty dept. in order to assist me. Why is this? I pay on time every month except June 2013 - including late fees. Why do I have to be reminded that I filed Bankruptcy? Why do they list themselves as a debt collector and any info will be used for this purpose? I pay online, including 10 extra dollars because I cannot just go into BOA anymore and pay it in person, oh and save 120 dollars a year? This is horrible, at least for the next 2 years when I can refinance my current loan with someone else! Class Action is something I would join if I met the criteria of such lawsuit!

    In September 2013 with my monthly mortgage statement, I received an offer to enroll in the NATIONSTAR MORTGAGE LLC Equity Accelerator Program. I paid a $295.00 enrollment fee & chose my auto-draft dates. I paid my regular October. Third week in October I received a confirmation 'welcome letter' to the program with an enclosed calendar showing my first auto draft payment on November 11th. In late November I received my mortgage statement in the mail (dated 11/19/2013). I immediately called Nationstar concerned with late charges. I was told my account was current (paid to date). I again reiterated my concerns about this new program which allowed me to choose my auto-draft dates and consequent late charges. The Nationstar rep did not seemed concerned, assured me the date discrepancy problem would be corrected & assured me he would waive the late fees.

    The next month, late charges again (statement only shows current info & is generated between the 18th-21st of each month) by the time I called about my statement my mortgage it always showed paid. After 3 months of calls & writing letters and faxes. I received a letter dated 2/03/14. I called immediately upon receipt & was told the extension given on the letter did not exist and the person whose name was given as my 'Dedicated Loan Specialist' was no longer assigned to my account and not available to speak with. The person I did speak with "Ms. **" informed me that this 'program' I enrolled in had nothing to do with Nationstar, she knew nothing about it. Going on to tell me it was through a third party and any agreement in regard to payment dates did not apply to my account with them. She went on to say I was responsible for all late charges applied to my account. She did not care to hear or rectify the on-going late payments caused by whatever agreement I had entered into.

    She did not once - nor did any other representative from Nationstar, mention my account seemed to be missing a payment (Nov 2013- which was drafted in Nov but posted in Dec 2013) and simply making a payment now would rectify any future late charges. I had to figure that out on my own after 4 months of phone calls, letters and faxes. Now I have to find out what if any impact this customer service nightmare may have on my personal credit. I feel I was fraudulently solicited for a program I believed was through my lender - or at least through the current mortgage loan servicer. I was misinformed about the program and about my account and its status. Not on employee to the 5 minutes to look into my account & rectify it. Why should I be responsible?

    As I was being discharged from Chapter 13 my mortgage company changed hands to Nationstar (NS) Mortgage. I never received a call or letter from Nationstar confirming the changing of hands. There were many addresses and phone numbers online to Nationstar which had me a little unnerved. I began calling NS the month that my Chapter 13 was discharged in Jan. 2013. For 3 months of calling weekly and or every other week I was told that I would receive a payment booklet and letter in the mail when the records were in order (and not to worry). I never received a letter or a payment booklet so I automatically sent in a payment on the 4th month from the discharge of my Chapter 13. It was at that time that I received my first angry call that I owed much more than was sent and I would be put into foreclosure if I did not send the 5000 that was owed.

    I explained that I wanted to see this in writing and I was told "not to worry about the payment until the records were in order". I was called a liar and an unworthy customer. The next month I received a statement of payment (of the late charges only). I questioned the charges and was told that I missed x amount of payments and a late charge was tacked onto the payments. The payment that I sent the previous month was not included. They told me it could take up to two months to post. This went on (the letters, payments, and calling due to false charges) for 4 more months. I decided to do a search on NS mortgage and not to my surprise I found out that this was happening to multiple folks. I decided to go back to my lawyer for help. Filed chapter 13 in Sept. 2013 and they have not sent the record into the courts as of yet.

    NS had 60 days from notice to turn in the records. Also, I paid 30000 off of my mortgage while under chapter 13. Had the house since 2000. Bought it for 78000 and the last statement said I owed 86000 (this is not counting interest). Before I went to my lawyer I was threatened with foreclosure. Having lawyers in my family helps. I was told that foreclosure cannot be filed unless you are a year behind in payments. They threatened me (while not posting my payments) after month 6. I will be meeting with my lawyer on Wed. to discuss our next step. I will post what I can. Stay tuned!

    Our mortgage was sold by Bank of America to Nationstar with no notice. It has been a nightmare. In January 2013 we paid late. In February we struggled and then in March they wanted to set up the payment with our normal monthly payment. When we sent the said amount our check was returned. They then wanted a certified check for the full amount the next day. As we couldn't do that they offered home refi program. So we filled out all the paper work and sent in. During this time they wouldn't accept any payment.

    Month after month they told us they needed more paper work. We never had the same representatives twice. They strung us along. We then were served foreclosure papers but telling us they were still working on our app. In October we were told we didn't qualify. We contacted a lawyer and in order to buy time he had my husband file chapter 13. We are in a mess and nothing we can do about it. The house has occupied by my husband for over 20 years.

    I have had a mortgage on my income property since 2001. First with Countrywide and then Bank of America. I paid the mortgage on time for 12 years. Also paid my own taxes and insurance for 12 years. Then.. along comes Nationstar. They sent me a letter confirming there is no escrow account for my property, then they go and pay my mostly-2013 taxes, claim I am delinquent, and now they want me to put $29,571.96 into escrow over the next 12 months. And for what??? This amount is THREE TIMES the dollars they paid off, meaning they are charging 300% interest. Put another way, the next current tax I will owe is $3500, due in October 2014 but, between now and then, the amount they want into escrow is $19,714.64. (They sure do math funny down in Texas!) I've written countless letters pointing out their errors.

    Today, I thought I was getting close to a resolution, they SAID if I sent the letter showing there was no escrow when they assumed the mortgage, they would cancel the escrow. But, I just came home to a silly voice-mail from the young lady I spoke with, referencing my "condo" and "flood insurance". I don't have a condo and we're not talking about insurance!!! Why did Bank of America sell our mortgages to this dumbass outfit? If I sue Nationstar - which looks all but unavoidable - I think I will attach BofA to the lawsuit.

    So my mortgage was taken over by Nationstar from Bank of America and it has been a TERRIBLE experience. We didn't receive anything from them after Bank of America sent a letter to us. I went online to see what I needed to do and it showed we owed $3000 within a week. When I called them and asked about it they said that this was fees due to a refinance we did with Bank of America and they are going to charge late fees on it until we pay it in full. I waited until I got home from work and called again and was told that amount did not need to be paid until the pay off of the mortgage. I went back and forth with them for a month and by this time I ended up a month behind, still not receiving any paperwork from them in the mail. I was given a repayment plan which added an amount onto the payment each month to add up to the month I was behind. A week after I made my first payment for this amount I got a letter in the mail telling me, "Congrats for being approved to set up a plan," to get my mortgage current.

    When I looked online and seen that the over payment amount was showing as an unapplied amount I called and asked why and they said they had never approved me a repayment plan and that they would never even set up a 6 month one. So when I told him I received a letter in the mail saying, "Congratulations on being approved for a repayment plan," and that the letter showed the amounts due and the dates and everything, I told him I would send him a copy, he very rudely told me he didn't need a copy because it was garbage. I asked for a supervisor who told me to just pay the amount on the letter and everything would be fine.

    I just called because my last payment for the repayment plan cleared the bank and it still shows the overpayments as an unapplied amount and I was told they calculated wrong and I still owe another $100. So I said "this has been a mess and if I pay that $100 then what. "They are going to tell me there is another mistake and they need more. I said, "this is my house, you people keep changing things and messing things up," and she said, "I need the extra $100 what do you want to do," and I said, "I want to talk to a supervisor." She said, "my supervisor is not here today, you have a great weekend" and hung up on me!!!!! I have never in my life dealt with such rude and unorganized people. This is my house that I am living in with 2 children and they just really don't care!!!!! Every single person I have dealt with has been rude and told me a different story they have no clue what they are doing. What do I do now???? Is there a way to change your mortgage company??

Funny how the dedicated agent could not figure that out... So then the new person says its under review and we get a new agent. The process starts all over again...

    Our FHA mortgage was initially with Countrywide, taken over by Bank of America. During hard times we tried to get assistance through B of A by requesting help under the Making Home Affordable Program. We were denied several times though offered a refinance with estimated costs of 2000.00. We asked for a 15 year loan. We received paperwork for a 30 yr. mortgage and approximately 6000.00 in costs. We received a phone call that our closing was set up though we signed nothing and had left messages, couldn't get through to a person, that the paperwork was not what we asked for and the costs were inflated three fold.

    When we refused to refinance with B of A our mortgage was given to Nationstar. I called to make payments in advance of the due dates to make sure they were posted correctly. In September 2013 we paid Oct., Nov, and Dec. payments months ahead of schedule. The payments were posted correctly, though they charged a $12.00 fee, for what we don't know. We were also to receive $227.00 from our escrow account that was overpaid. That money was not received for months until I complained. They gave no reason for not sending it.

    In December 2013, we paid ahead again for January and February 2014. We followed the same process we were provided previously. We received no confirmation or statement until January 28, 2014. It was for February 1st due date, which was already paid. We should have received a statement for the March payment. The 1098 for mortgage interest paid was enclosed and incorrect, because it did not include the additional month of interest. I called Nationstar and informed them they had cashed the checks in Dec. 2013 and not applied the payments correctly. I requested they apply the payment as the check and note previously sent had stated.

    I also requested a revised 1098 with the correct amount of interest paid. I was informed the February payment was put toward principal. My note had clearly stated, "February payment, NOT PRINCIPAL." Two separate checks with January 2014 and February 2014, had been cashed and misapplied per their own procedure provided. I was informed I would have to call their tax department to see if I could obtain a revised 1098 since they did not consider the February payment moved until 2014. I asked them to write down a term and share it with their legal department, "wrongful conveyance and misappropriation of funds." I was informed I had to talk to a tax professional. I am a tax professional. I needed them to appropriate our payments as specified and correct our 1098.

    I then asked what happened to the monies due us from our over collected escrow account. They had no reason not to send it, since our mortgage has remained "paid ahead." I was informed it would be sent. I requested additional interest be paid since they held our money for months. I doubt we receive any. I spoke to another individual, named Paige, on January 30, 2014, to confirm they, in fact, were complying with our requests. She stated a request for the revised 1098 was pending and a check would be sent for the overpaid escrow monies. We have not received a proper accounting of 2013 interest paid, nor the March statement.

    Our mortgage was turned over to a debt collector, which NationStar is, and I don't trust them at all any more than I trusted B of A. B of A had refused to accept payments ahead, and threatened to have me removed from the premises when I complained, they had to. At that time, I had to go to the main branch and talk to a branch manager to get them to apply payments forward. Now, I can't be sure Nationstar actually moved our payment or will send us a statement for the March payment timely since we did not receive the erroneous February statement until January 28th.

    Terms come to mind in reference to this loan servicer like:

    Breach of contract, I was given verbal instruction to make payments ahead that worked the first time, but not the second.
    Wrongful conveyance, because I am supposed to be able to trust this company, and they are not doing what I was told with our money.
    Theft by deception, because they are charging fees with no reason ($12.00) and holding our money to their benefit, not ours.

    Misappropriation of funds, because they failed to follow their own procedures to our detriment of time, money and stress.

    B of A appears to have refused families dealing with hard times that tried to get assistance with more affordable mortgages. I feel, they tried to drive these families to foreclosure so they could take their homes. For the families that actually saved their homes, they transferred their mortgages to Nationstar, a collection agency. This immediately puts a bad mark on credit scores making it near impossible to refinance and get away from their, in my opinion, deceptive practices.

    In my opinion, it's time for the government to get involved and investigate Bank of America practices and Nationstar's, and put an end to the greed of these institutions. I feel CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT is the only way to put an end to the deceptive practices, in my opinion.

    Mortgage service sold to Nationstar back in 2010. Like most of the posters here, I've had nothing but trouble with them ever since. Like some others here, Nationstar preemptively paid my property taxes prior to their due date. They then bumped up my mortgage payment with an escrow amount which was DOUBLE what it should have been. I immediately re-paid the property tax amount they had paid on my behalf (in full). They just held that in "suspension" in order to apply once the amount exceeded both the principal, interest and the doubled escrow amount. All of this without notification to me. I pay by electronic transfer from my bank and always pay on time but.... soon I realized that they were claiming an arrearage and began charging me "late fees".

    Repeated attempts to resolve the issue were met with the same result as so many others here: being passed around from one department to another only to eventually be dropped and left to start the whole call-in process all over again... only to be dropped again... and again... and again.... Now they've decided to pre-pay my Home Owner's insurance. I had already paid my insurance and my check was cashed by the insurance carrier only to be issued a new check from the insurer reimbursing my payment and a notification that Nationstar had paid the premium AFTER I had already paid it. Now, Nationstar has added that amount to my monthly payment, as well. I understand the mortgage company's need to protect the property from damage (in the way of insurance) and from tax auction. I get that. But they really need to do a better job of communicating with the homeowners whose loans they are servicing and to be more responsive to legitimate concerns and complaints regarding their errors.

    I'm not sure that they (Nationstar) are malicious or of bad intent. If you read their bio and how fast they've grown in the last two years, it is reasonable to conclude that it could be possible that they have grown more quickly than their ability to properly service those accounts with which they are charged. Given the amount and similarity of complaints against them; however, it might be equally reasonable to have some form of government audit of their business practices to identify problem areas and to correct errors, make the proper adjustments and to stop being so sneaky and heavy-handed. Playing "fast & loose" with people's homes and futures is no laughing matter, particularly in these trying times.

    Nationstar Bank and Auction.com are in collusion to sell REO homes in a manner that is not beneficial to the community, the taxpayers or the Real Estate Community. Nationstar Bank requires that you only submit purchase agreements to Auction.com. Auction.com tacks on a 5% fee automatically reducing the amount that a bidder would pay for a distressed property. At the end of the auction, even if you have met the reserve price they don't always award the sale to you. They can hold for 15 days or reject after 15 days. They even go as far as making a counteroffer to your bid....

    If this is a true auction site, then when the gavel drops the property should go to the highest bidder or the seller should withdraw the property immediately and notify the buyer. Instead Auction.com forces the bidder to put down 5% immediately and they hold this money until the Seller decides to accept or reject an offer. 5% doesn't seem like much, but for properties that are selling for hundreds of thousands... it is a significant amount of money. There is a Facebook page for anyone who has faced this issue to make your opinions heard by Nationstar and Auction.com, www.facebook.com/nationstarauction.com. Like it and leave a comment or story.

When you call you get someone who either doesn't speak English well or who appears to be incompetent. I believe today's work force is very challenged in work ethics compared to prior generations. So I blame BofA, Nationstar and our society for the growing incompetence out there.

    My loan was sold to Nationstar. I have been a customer of B of A for over 20 years and have had my mortgage with them for the last 13 years. They sold it to Nationstar and have had nothing but problems since then. I have never had a late mortgage payment, ever. I have tried online and have called Nationstar 3-times to have autodraft for my mortgage set up. They cannot get it right, so every month after the 1st I get calls and e-mails telling me I am late on my payment, even after reassurance from their reps that my auto payments are set up correctly. This is infuriating.

    Late mortgage payments can cause a serious blemish to you credit score, which I do not want. I never had this kind of problem with B of A and have always paid on time. I am interested in joining any class action suit against B of A for selling our mortgages to Nationstar.

    In May of 2013 I decided to Refinance after seeing attractive rates in the marketplace, I applied, was qualified and secured 4.5% interest rate. I submitted all my documentation as required and was told I would close within 60-90 days. Months went by, I kept receiving the same documents in the mail, dozens of packages with my loan disclosure documents, etc. etc. Well in January 2014, I received a letter stating, application denied. WTF???? I could not believe it. I called Nationstar, an employee with little knowledge of my product said to me that we needed to start over again. I cancelled the re-fi, lost out on an opportunity to refinance my home, and was never refunded the money they charged me for credit reports and the like.

    It is wrong that BOA could sell our mortgage to another company and we as a consumer have no choice in the matter. The consumer should have choices where it is transferred. We have a choice when we applied for a Home loan in the first place. Why not when they choose to no longer want our business they can just do whatever they want. BOA wooed you to get our business and then they just dumped us and so many others to whomever they wanted with zero concern for the customer. They are clueless.

    I had tried for 5 months to do a loan modification. I sent in my paperwork had a tracking # etc. I would receive a letter stating I was missing docs. Then I was told to fax the docs in. I kept records of fax conf. I would call and be told they had all they needed. Next week I was told I was missing docs again. This went on for months telling me it was in review only to be told send and fax again and again. This went on for months. Finally I was told I needed to start over because my information was not current. I felt like the right hand didn't know what the left hand was doing. They test you to see how long you're going to try and win. But you never will!

    With companies like this, there is no wonder this country is in trouble. They should not be allowed to remain in business. I am a very organized person and keep good records but none of that matters. They could careless about helping customers. But if you're one day past the first of the month and they don't have your payment they will call you everyday and 2 or 3 times a day. I wish I had a choice of where my mortgage was sold to and wish Nationstar was not benefiting from all the interest they are receiving from me. If there is a law suit filed against Nationstar I want to sign up! They need to be put out of Business today.

They ESTIMATED my monthly income which was much higher that it actually is and they ESTIMATED the value of my home which is much higher than it actually is.

    Our first experience with NatStar was Feb 2013 when they bought a block of Bank of America mortgages. They completely botched the transfer and we were embroiled in a battle with NatStar for months about how much we were to pay. After months of spending hours on the phone and submitting requests to the nebulous "Research Department", I finally gave up and paid what they wanted after I had a good month for income. Even if it was more, I just wanted them out of my hair.

    Then they switched me to paperless billing without my consent. I didn't think much of it since I just paid my bill online through my bank's electronic billing system anyway. Suddenly in January of 2014, after months of nothing from NatStar, I get a "Guide to Your Escrow Statement" which says that I now owe them an additional $256/mo for my property tax escrow, which they paid for me in full. Since they had cut off contact with me, I wasn't aware of this payment by them and the subsequent charge they were adding to my mortgage because of it. Sure enough, I contact my county treasurer to find out NatStar paid my taxes for me without telling me, and is now demanding that I pay them back to the tune of $256/mo in added to my mortgage. By the time they sent me anything, they were already considering me behind in the schedule. I, of course, would have had no way of knowing any of this had happened.

    I called NatStar. And, yes, like the rest of you, I was on hold for long periods of time, sometimes having them drop my call. When I finally spoke to someone, the first rep said he couldn't help me. He forwarded me to the "escrow department" where the lady there was very rude and lied, stating that my county requested them to pay my taxes for me. I demanded proof of such request and she said she had to forward me to the "tax department." Tessa in the tax department was actually nice. I explained to her that I have never had my taxes escrowed in the past and that I always paid directly to my local entity. She suggested that perhaps it was because the BoA mortgage was an escrow, but it wasn't. Then I demanded she produce written evidence that my county requested their payment of my taxes. She looked into the account and found that there was no correspondence of any kind from our county, nor was there any notifications sent to me from NatStar (as their policy requires). From what she could see, there was no reason for them to have switched my account to an escrow account.

    Unfortunately, that's where the help ended. As with all other issues I had with them, she "opened an inquiry" and told me I needed to call the infamous "Research Department" in 7 to 10 business days to find out what they learned. I already know that will be pointless from my previous experience. What's worse, after I hung up with Tessa I went straight to my County Treasurer's office. She explained to me that they have received another complaint about NatStar. She verified that they did not make the request nor would they in my case.

    NatStar was just blatantly lying. NatStar literally hijacked my property taxes and is using it, I presume, as a way to put more financial burden on us with the hope that we default and they can sell off our house. That's my assumption. We do know for fact that NatStar deliberately paid our tax bill for us without any solicitation on my or my County's part. What other reason does NatStar have in taking over this bill and then trying to force us to pay them back, if it isn't to try to push us into foreclosure? My County Treasurer is calling NationStar to formally complain and request they leave our residents alone. However, with the mess of a Call Center system they have, that complaint will no doubt fall on deaf ears.

    I'm going to try to get my taxes back, as I would rather pay directly to my county rather than be a slave to the whims of NationStar. But I can only shudder at the prospect of endless calls, messages and emails as I try to get a year's worth of property tax payments reimbursed. I don't see that ending well given their terrible track record for customer service. They sought this debt for a reason, and it wasn't to give it back to us.

    NationStar needs to be investigated by the feds. Is there anyone participating in this forum that can give legitimate legal counsel on how to stop this corrupt institution? In the meantime, I have no choice but to spend my time trying to get a refi with another institution just to try to get NatStar out of my life.

    Lesson learned: NEVER deal with a lending institution that doesn't service its own debt. This mess started when we bought our first home and didn't know to ask such questions. The local bank sold our mortgage to Countrywide, who went belly up. Bank of America bought Countrywide's debt then sold a bunch of the mortgages to NationStar in 2013. We never saw this coming when we sat down with our "friend" at the bank 7 years ago!!

I have fax the paperwork several times in the last 5 months and the issue has not been resolved yet, and they are increasing our escrow due to that.

    That is only one of the issues that we have with them, then it goes to not sending us statements some months, putting us automatically on electronic statement without our authorization, continues automated phone calls at all hours of the day for payment when the payment have been done and the list keep going.

    We had Bank of America for 4 years with no issues. Last year, our loan was picked up by Nationstar. Wow, I never imagined what a headache they would cause us. My parents told me not to fret, as mortgage loans are bought and sold frequently. Before I even made my first payment with them, they began soliciting me to refinance but wanted us to get a new home inspection, closing costs, etc. I told them, "How about you let me make a payment first, then we'll talk". As we wanted to see what kind of customer service they offer, we decided to stay put in the meanwhile.

    Unfortunately, they have made multiple mistakes on our loan. Misapplying extra principal and/or escrow money even after I spoke to them and correctly filled out the remittance which specifically has lines for you to enter the dollar amount and what it is for. I also had sent an extra check for a shortage of escrow, as like everyone, our taxes and insurance went up. It took them almost 3 weeks to deposit the check (which was shocking done the day after I made a phone call to complain).

    We are now waiting for our latest monthly bill, which has not been corrected to show that there is no escrow shortage (so our monthly payment would remain the same as last year). Here it is one day away from the first of the month and nada. We're also patiently waiting for our end of year statement so we can also get our taxes done. On the website it says it will be available on 1/31, which is required by federal law. I'm so fed up with this company that I'm currently looking at refinancing just to get away from this company.

    Nationstar assumed my home loan after my bank went under, I had no issues with them until May 2013 when my mortgage payment increased by over $1400/mo. My story looks exactly like dozens I have read on this site. No assigned point of contact, phone extensions that lead nowhere, no accountability, waiting for months for an answer that never comes, never reaching the same person twice, lost paperwork, and an endless battle of dealing with someone on the other end that could not care less or put forth less effort to assist on your behalf.

    I have applied twice for a modification, both times I have waited over 90 days for a decision all the while trying to maintain the outrageous mortgage payment to stay current. Both times my file has been closed due to "missing paperwork". The first time I gave up frustrated beyond belief, but after I was notified that my payment was to increase by another $800 in December of 2013, I applied a second time for the modification in October 2013 hoping that it would be approved before the new payment took effect. This time I corresponded with a customer service rep via email every 2-3 weeks to ensure that nothing was missing and that my request was being processed.

    After 7 months of making the higher payment, I have drained my savings and have missed the last two payments while waiting for an approval. On Jan. 17, 2014, our property inspection was completed, all paperwork was accounted for, Nationstar was processing my application and we were to be notified by Feb. 11, 2014 of their decision. I emailed my customer service rep Cristine again and asked for my point of contact, since she was clearly aggravated my continuing to contact her and she gave me to a new person to contact, Pamela. On January 27th, I received a notice of pre-foreclosure and contacted my new service rep who informed me that my file had been closed a second time for missing paperwork, and there is nothing she can do except open a new file. Pamela would give me no explanation, no opportunity to find out what was missing, if they had requested it or when.

    She was rude and hostile and told me that if I wanted to continue the conversation with her we would start from the beginning with a new application as all my paperwork was now out of date. She informed me that she was not responsible for what transpired with my last two applications and made no apology for the fact that I have contacted them bi-weekly following my application or for the fact that they never notified me or gave me the opportunity to supply them with the missing info prior to closing my file and that because I live in Washington state, she is not permitted to call me directly. She also never emailed me or sent me notice that she was my representative or that there was missing paperwork but that was also my fault apparently. Mortgage modification with this company is an outright scam and a stall tactic at best.

    I have never in my entire life been repeatedly broken down to tears of frustration and met with such blatant cold, hostile and uncaring human beings in my entire life. Pamela has since not responded to a single email question or call requesting general information about my loan like who owns it or if PMI is built in. My husband and I have lived in this home for over 16 years and never missed a payment until December of 2013. We re-built this home after a fire destroyed it in 2007, it is the only home our children have ever lived in and it means everything to us. We have invested ourselves in it for nearly two decades, it is our forever home and not one single person at Nationstar cares what happens when they adjust your loan beyond your means especially if they can auction it off from under you and get a quick paycheck.

    We are consulting a lawyer but given the lack of cooperation we have been met with thus far I am frightened of the outcome. I genuinely hope and pray that one of their victims follows through and files a class-action suit against Nationstar; there are thousands of borrowers who have stories like ours who will take part.

    We had our mortgage sold to NationStar over five years ago. They have been a headache from the beginning. They constantly change our billing preferences to "Paperless" without proper authorization. This is one instance where I desire a "paper trail". Our mortgage includes the 40+ acres of land that our buildings set on. Homeowners Insurance does not cover the dirt, only the structures. We have to argue this point with them on a regular basis, with them insisting that if there was an insurable loss, it would not cover their investment. They don't seem to understand that dirt does not burn. Even if everything was destroyed, the 40 acres would still be there and have value.

    For the last three years, I have received cancellation notices from our insurance carrier. NationStar collects the monies for the premium, that are held in escrow. They are responsible for making the yearly remittance. They insist that they do not receive the statement from our insurance company, but when asked about their lapse, do acknowledge that they are aware of the due date. The insurance company has verified addresses to send the statement, and insist that notice has been sent. It seems to me that they are using our money for their own purposes until they are harassed by our insurer and us.

    Several weeks ago, they called us about refinancing. I explained to the solicitor at the very start of his sales pitch that my main concern was getting out from under the PMI premium. I told him, that like many people who bought in the 2006-2008 time frame, we were probably "underwater". He stated that a new appraisal would not be necessary. After most of an hour of him tossing numbers back and forth, different terms, 15 year fixed, 20 year fixed, different interest rates,etc., etc., he told me that because it was a Fannie Mae, there was a formula he had to use for assessing the value, which of course does not take into account the land, water well, septic, outbuildings, and so forth. In the end, whatever money we would have saved was more than cancelled out by extension of the PMI for the foreseeable future.

    I would end this by stating that we have NEVER been late with a payment and always pay more than what is required. These people do not believe in treating their customers with any respect whatsoever. We are nothing but cash cows to be used and abused.

    Well, In June of 2010 I had to go on Social Security Disability. For the following 2 1/2 years between disability and unemployment insurance, my income was only reduced about 25% and I was getting by. My original loan was with Countrywide, then sold to BOA. Finally in Sept 2012, my unemployment ran out and then things got really tight. In October I requested a home loan modification from BOA and received and returned the packet I was sent. Mid-November 2012 I contacted BOA to try and determine the status of the modification. I was told it was still in review and I would hear something by the end of the month.

    Well that was accurate after a fashion, the end of November I received a letter stating the loan had been sold to NATIONSTAR! Didn't seem that bad as after contacting BOA, they told me that the modification as well as the servicing of the loan had been sent to Nationstar and that Nationstar would contact me on or about January 3 as the effective date for transfer was Jan. 4, 2013 but I should receive a billing statement from Nationstar late December 2013. I contacted Nationstar on January 3, 4, 5,and 6th of January and they still had no information for me about the loan.

    January 8th I received a letter stating my payment was late and they were going to charge a late fee in addition to the original payment. I called Nationstar and explained that they had informed me that they still hadn't received the loan and was informed that they had on January 3rd and just hadn't got the information uploaded at that time. I also explained that by the terms of the loan the payment wasn't late until the 16th of the month and was told they had to abide by the original terms and the late fee would be dropped and allowed me to make the payment. I asked at that time about the loan modification and was told there was no modification paperwork sent to them by BOA. I told them that the process was started with BOA and I would send the paperwork to them via mail. I sent the original packet "Certified mail".

    After getting the confirmation receipt I called once more. The person I talked to claimed it was never received! I stated to them that I knew that it was due to having a receipt and told them even what time it was received. They still claimed it must have gone to the wrong place and gave me an address to send it to. Accepting that this could have happened I resent the packet to the address provided by the service rep "Certified Mail" once again. Once again when I got the receipt I called Nationstar and asked if the packet had been received and was told that it was but would take 5-7 days to upload into their system.

    During the month of January the Social Security dept. also determined that they were paying me too much and reduced the disability by 1/3 really putting me in a bind. Regardless, To make a long story short, for more than 1 year I have been trying to get the modification to at least go to underwriting at Nationstar. Every time I send documentation it is either lost by Nationstar, the incorrect document, out of date, or needs clarification. I have several letters stating they have all the documentation they need only to find out 1-2 weeks later they are still missing documents I have to believe that Nationstar, as a company, is either PHENOMENALLY INCOMPETENT or, that they are not in the business of servicing home loans as much as FORECLOSING them.

Now they are withdrawing my account twice a month! (They response was that I requested so, unbelievable) I asked them to refund last month's double payment and they haven't going on two weeks now. This is a crooked company. If I didn't have enough in my account for the second withdrawal (2x a month), I would be stuck with the fees from my bank. And holding your checks until they are past due to charge late fees? Malicious and Egregious.

    I have had a first mortgage with Nationstar for likely 10 years at 6.3%. I contacted them about refinancing my first and second mortgage in November of 2012! They saw no issues. I have corresponded with them monthly. They say the new rate is locked in. I've heard everything. They were slammed with new applications, for some reason, it never made it to underwriting. Had to re-do the paperwork because of the time elapsed, and on 12/11/13, I should hear something any day, but it should be fine.

    It is now January 2014, 15 months later, and no word. I paid for the appraisal and they've had it for more than a year. There doesn't seem to be anywhere to turn. So very frustrating. There needs to be some sort of regulation that if it is over x number of months, they have to refund any difference in interest. My loan is a small one, so I can't see them delaying just to collect those huge interest dollars. Unreal.

    Horrible company. Sign me up for the class action against these delinquents. Started deed in lieu (lost my income) on October 9, 2013 they gave me a move out date of November 18. I packed my house and my three children up and got ready to go. I called, emailed and fax my "dedicated loan specialist" to find out where papers were etc. Nothing - no reply. On Nov 16 after trying to get info from anyone, the agent told me that the deed in lieu was canceled! No notice nothing. I finally get thru to the specialist and she says "well there were liens on the mortgage". There were not. I asked for the title search and lo and behold the company they used had personal loan obligations from previous owners on the search.

    I went to my county clerk office and pulled the title and faxed it to Nationstar as they requested. No reply. Dozens more calls, emails, faxes and on January 21 I get a letter saying I don't meet the program guidelines! They told me I did meet the guidelines when I signed on in October! I was trying to close before December 31 to take advantage of the mortgage relief act but now they've forced me into bankruptcy on top of everything else! I've done everything they asked. I took time off from the little work I had - without pay - to get the papers their fraudulent title company should have done properly and I'm in the same boat I was in October. It doesn't pay to be a responsible person with treatment like this. To make matters worse Fannie Mae owns my loan and they aren't helping me either.

    So my ex-wife and I divorce 5 years ago. During the divorce I gave my ex the house, she never refinanced the home loan. About 2 years after my divorce my ex quit paying on the house. For 3 years she did not pay it was under US bank. During this time she ask the bank to do a loan modification on the house. I would not sign the papers so she could not do a loan modification. NATIONSTAR took over the servicing the loan. Without my signing any paper work they did a mortgage loan modification with just my ex-wife signing the paper work.

    My name is all over the loan but I was never notified about the loan or I never signed the loan, so I called to ask them about the loan. Their reply was all they need was my wife to sign the paper work. I told the guy that is not true and she is my ex-wife for 5 years. Then I was told well in the divorce I gave her the house. Again my reply was "No I did not." They then told me they had a quick deed on the house. I told them "yes there is a quick deed." They told me that is all they needed. I again stopped the guy and told him he could not modify a loan with my name on it without me signing. He hung up the phone on me.

    So I hired an attorney to question the loan. They reply from their law department was there is no loan modification in place at this time and if there was it would both me and my ex-wife to sign the paper work. That was Dec 11 2013. So on December 17th I received a copy of a signed loan modification that has been processed thru nationstar mortgage. My ex wife also has been paying her payments on time with them and they keep hitting her up with late charges and it is going my my credit report. So now I get to file a lawsuit against them too.

    Nationstar took over my mortgage from Bank of America around March or April of 2013. The first week in May, I was contacted by a Nationstar representative asking if I would be interested in refinancing my loan which has never been late, is currently at 6.125%. The rate they would be able to offer would be 4.625%. After a few quick preliminary questions over the phone including asking if I had a second mortgage. I told them I did and the representative (Tiffany **) indicated I still shouldn't have any problem. A loan application was immediately sent to me and within a day or two, the completed package was sent back to Nationstar.

    Tiffany and I communicated back and forth and she indicated that because of the mass volume of loans Nationstar had taken on, my closing could take up to 120 days which would have put it around September 2013. I continued to ask Tiffany how things were proceeding and was always told everything was going along but that it could take longer because they had so many.

    It wasn't until the beginning of October I was told that the subordination paperwork hadn't been sent back yet and that was the last remaining thing to be done. Since this was the first I had heard about it, I asked if there was something I could do to speed up the process and it was suggested I contact my bank that holds the 2nd mortgage and get a contact name they could fax the paperwork directly to. I immediately did that and was told by the supervisor I spoke to, she saw no problem with the lien subordination and would see to it that the paperwork would be filled out and sent back to Nationstar as soon as they received it. I then contacted Tiffany and advised her of this and gave her the necessary information. She told me to give it another few weeks. She assured me everything was fine and the interest rate was still locked in since the delay was at their end and always apologized and thanked me for being so patient.

    When I didn't hear anything by November, I once again asked about the status only to be told the same information .. it was being processed and I should hopefully hear from a closing agent fairly soon. During this process, I was sent several 'closing packages' each time indicating a slightly higher total amount that would be owed at closing.

    My last closing packet was received on Saturday, January 4, 2014 and on Monday, January 6th, I received a 'Statement of Denial of Credit, Termination or Change' and the reason given was "Title Incurable". I immediately called Nationstar and spoke to a representative (got his name but won't reveal it here) who told me that he, among other mortgage specialists, came into work only to be welcomed with a deluge of angry phone calls and emails - all from customers who received the same letter I did with no explanation. He indicated he had no clue what was going on himself and sounded pretty pissed since they all work off commissions. I was given his supervisor's name and number as well as the supervisor above him to see if I could get any answers. Of course no phone calls or emails directed to Tiffany ** have been responded to.

    I wasn't surprised when I picked up the paper and read this past week how the mortgage loan process had upped its requirements making it more difficult for homeowners to get refinancing effective on applications received on or after January 10th. I believe it was Nationstar's intent all along to drag it out until such time as this new requirement went into effect, thereby relieving itself of the contractual obligation to process these pending applications. My loan process drag out for almost 9 months.

    I know Nationstar has long line of unsatisfied customers and it's not fair nor right that we are being held hostage. I would love to see a class action lawsuit filed against Nationstar and would be the first on board if it was.

    My husband and I had 3 homes, my primary home and two others that both have loans over their value. We don't believe in just walking away from our obligations and have made all payments on time. We just got divorced and as part of the settlement, I keep my main home, and we each have an upside down property. I contacted Nationstar to try to get my ex off of the mortgage per our agreement. They recommended that I apply for a special program that they had going - to refinance at the same rate the balance I had. All I had to do was show them that I had been making the payments for the last 12 months. No appraisal necessary. I have personally made the payments for the last two yrs and make enough to support the mortgage.

    I supplied all the necessary documents, and got to title, my ex signed over the house. I was just waiting for the notification to go sign documents and got a form letter in the mail that the loan was denied. There has been a tremendous lack of communication all along. In fact, they had sent requests for data to be sent to an email address that would accept no messages. Their customer service and communication suck. I would not recommend them to anyone.

We incurred late charges and marks against our credit as a result (note my credit is perfect and this is the first negative mark ever - not happy). Emailed and called several times asking them to make sure my credit gets fixed. They have been non-responsive. This all started in December and it's still not resolved. I still get automated calls from NationStar every other day saying our payment is still late. It's been an absolute complete mess and now my credit has been effective.

    All the people we've talked to at NationStar are about as helpful as a doorknob. The one lady Deanna we spoke was responsive and helpful but she had to turn it over to her supervisors as her hands were tied in helping us. Based on all the ratings and complaints against NationStar I'm not expecting much. I'm going to do everything I can to bash their company short of flying down to Texas and throwing rocks through the window.

NationStar should be investigated by the govt because they are not participating on helping Americans get back on their feet. They are part of the greed and corruption that is destroying America.

    The morning of Thanksgiving 2013, our house burned and was determined to be unfixable by our insurance company. In June of 2013, BOA had sold our 1st mortgage to Nationstar. They kept our second mortgage. I have a checking account that both payments come out of each month. The fire destroyed the checks for that account and I was unable to make the December payment.

    Our insurance company was out the Monday after the fire. Dec. 2nd, we received a content check that Wednesday (Dec.4th) and the dwelling check on the 6th that Friday. On Monday the 8th, I spent 4 hours on the phone bouncing from one person to the other and never getting the same answer from any of them. Tuesday (Dec 9), I tried again and got a fella named Rick who told me that if I had a fax machine he could fax me the necessary paperwork. I told him to give me his number and that I would go to my insurance agents and call him back. I did but when my agent called back to give him the fax #, he was told they could not do that. Needless to say, another 4 hours was spent on the phone. We finally called Bank of America and arranged for them to sign the check. We overnighted it to them and they signed it and then overnighted it back.

    Then we contacted Nationstar to see how to proceed. We were told that we would need a packet and that it would take about 30 days to get here. At that point, we got bounced to another department and told that they could fax the paperwork. (From the very beginning I had made it clear the house would be torn down and that all I wanted was to pay off the mortgage.) Well the packet it turned out was for rebuilding the house. Around Dec 23, I received a payment coupon with a pay off statement attached to it.

    I took it to my ins agents and we started calling again. That is when we found out that we didn't need the packet. We were told to send the check with the coupon and they would cash it and get theirs and send back the rest. 7 days was what they told me. That was Dec.26. I overnighted it and they received it at 12:37 on the 27th. I gave them a little over a week and no funds returned. I got with my agent and we called and the money had been put in a escrow account and was sitting there. Again we talked to another lady who assured us that she would get the loan paid and the money returned in 7 days. By this time, they had told me that I was being charged another late payment for January. Even though they have the money to pay off the loan they wouldn't do it. This last Wednesday. I called again and again I was told that they would send me the money in 7 days.

    I will be calling them on Monday to see if it is still in the escrow account. We are living in a motel (insurance paying for it) and suppose to close on a house on Feb 7. The problem is that I can't pay off BOA without the insurance money. If I can't pay them off and have to keep paying that payment then I can't make the payments on the new house. I am running out of time.

    Our mortgage loan with Bank of America got transferred to Nationstar Mortgage in December 2013. We have an escrow account for the life of the loan to pay property taxes and insurance. Nationstar Mortgage got our insurance agent to change the lien holder from Bank of America to Nationstar and received a copy of the certificate of insurance for the property.

    Our insurance agent informed us a few days ago that Nationstar had stated there was no account to pay insurance. We sent Nationstar a message and they responded that an insurance amount of $600 has been paid. We then informed the insurance agent that $600 was paid. It doesn't appear to have been paid. Today we get another message (the previous message has been taken back) from Nationstar informing us that we could open an escrow account and to contact them. We have now sent them a message that they need to honor the escrow account we had with Bank of America and pay the yearly insurance.

Unfortunately, I fell behind on my mortgage payments when my husband started having medical problems and as he is a truck driver - when work slows down that does not help either! On January 3rd 2014 a payment I sent in in December finally hit my bank. On January 4th 2014 a letter was written from them stating they were returning the payment for unacceptable payment amount. I received this letter yesterday January 21st 2014. With no payment returned.

    On January 7th, 2014 my husband closed his retirement account so we could pay the past due payments and get up to date and not be foreclosed on. I paid the amount thinking I was all caught up and could breathe again! WRONG! I received a letter stating I need to pay so and so dollar amount to bring my mortgage current. Fine, so where is the payment they refused? That payment that would bring me current to February 1st 2014. On all of these letters there are different "Dedicated Loan Specialist" that seem to always be "out for the day and to leave a message." I'm still waiting for a call.

    I am truly fed up with dealing with this company and am to the point of contacting an attorney as well as making a complaint with the Attorney General. If they would send me the payment they refused I could be caught up! From my point of view they are making it impossible for me to ever get this caught up and now can keep charging me late fees.

We always send in extra principle each month. At first they posted correctly with the payment on one line and the extra principle on the next line. Well this month they can't seem to get their data entry correct. We always make the next month's payment on the third Wednesday of the month so we have never been late (no late fees or processing fees have every been added). Our loan will be paid off in five months and now they can't get anything entered correctly. Every time we call we get a person we can't understand because they have off-shored their customer service. We had to ask for some who speaks English. She did tell us that she did see the correct amount we sent in but she couldn't tell us why it was not posted correctly and why we could not see our payment on the transaction history. Normally this is updated Wednesday night and has been entered correctly and already posted on our bank website.

    This month the correct amount of month came out of the bank when it was supposed but they can't seem to get their website working. We asked for a supervisor to call us back and as of this writing we still have not received a call back. We have called for three days in a row and asked for a supervisor with no success. The last time we called we were transferred back to customer service because the lady that told us she could see our payment and what the correct amount was, could not explain why it was not posted and that customer service would have to talk to us. We told her we wanted someone who spoke English and guess what, again transferred off-shore and could not hardly understand them. I realize everybody needs and has a right to work, BUT GIVE ME A BREAK. They can't explain what the problem is or when it will be fixed. We pay on the internet every month.

    My mortgage was sold to Nationstar by BOA last summer. We have not had any problems until we refinanced with another company back in November. We started receiving the annoying phone calls to make our payment and I told them we had refinanced. I looked at my account online and it was still open. I contacted the title company to see what happened. They called Nationstar and found that they had paid our taxes on 11/26/13, a little fishy since we closed on 11/27/13, and the payoff was "short". They ended up wiring back the money to my title company.

    Long story short, we were waiting on the county to refund the taxes but in the meantime the account was left open and we have been charged 2 more months of mortgage, late fees, interest, etc. Nationstar has not been cooperative at all and in fact, just plain rude and unethical. I sent a complaint to the Customer Relations Officer and still no response! My title company and I have been lied to and hung up on several times. They have sent a certified letter saying they are going to foreclose on my home.

    I called Nationstar Monday to see if they received the refund, which the county mailed 12/23, and was told they had not. I asked for the supervisor I had spoken to before but she was unavailable. 2 hours later she called me back to say they had researched and found that they did receive the refund on 1/7 but it would be 3-6 weeks before it was applied to my account. I told her that I received a certified letter that they were going to foreclose on my home and couldn't wait that long. She said that was a different department and couldn't help me. We have a mortgage company that we made our first payment to for January so I don't believe there is any way they can actually foreclose but we are now hiring an attorney to settle this. I do not understand how this company is still in business and I am with several others on the class action idea. I will be speaking with my attorney on that matter.

    This is hands down the worst company I have EVER experienced in my ENTIRE life. We have had a buyer ready to purchase our home for MONTHS! Everything has been in line to sell on both sides. But we can not get the approval from Nationstar to sell the property. No one knows which way is up at Nationstar. They have costs us thousands of dollars. The customer service is beyond terrible. They constantly give conflicting answers to very basic questions. When you call or email to try to get the right answer, no one can give you an answer on anything. Emails and phone calls are not returned.

    In the midst of a short sale with Bank of America, a property owned by myself and my ex-husband was without warning transferred to NationStar. We had already received HAFA pre-approval under BoA for the short sale. Our loan was then transferred to the nightmare that is NationStar in August 2013 (we began our short sale process in May 2013). At the time, we already had a signed and agreed upon buyer contract in place. We have never been late on our mortgage, but the property value is significantly under value from its purchase price at the peak of the market in 2005. Due to a job loss, a move out of state, and a divorce, and the large decrease in property value, a HAFA short sale was our only option. Since the transfer to NationStar we have encountered nothing but errors and delays and our file has been transferred to so many NationStar reps, I've lost count.

    Additionally, per HAFA guidelines, NationStar has missed several important dates/deadlines due to their incredibly slow response time. Subsequently, the short sale negotiator working on our behalf filed a complaint against them for this. Do they care? No. They seem to think they are exempt from meeting those deadlines. In November, just as we *thought* we were finally going to close, NationStar suddenly informs us, our agents, and the buyer, that the property MUST be placed on Auction.com and our buyer - who already had a legally binding contract! - must bid on the property (against other cash only bidders) if he wants his offer to be considered. This was something we were forced to partake in against our will as NationStar stated that if we did not agree to this process our file would be closed and the sale stopped.

    Numerous complaints later, and we were told that our file at NationStar was being "escalated" toward closing. However, we've had nothing but more delays and issues since Auction.com got involved. The buyer ended up having to increase his original offer in order to take the winning bid on Auction.com and secure the property under a revised contract and YET, still NO closing!! After this process was completed we received a message received from OUR short sale negotiator stating: ..."as of Dec 12, we were told our file is complete with NationStar...from the 12th of December, there is a max review period of 10 days." Interesting, as that review period was NOT met, and the closing date then provided to us (as well as the buyer and his agents) of January 10, 2014 has come and gone.

    NOW we are being told that the Auction.com rep is saying that the "offer price" has not been met and is $61,500 over the current contracted offer!?!? I think these banks are just jerking consumers around and trying to squeeze every dime out of properties even when the value simply isn't there. How in the world Auction.com ever got involved, and where they get their market info I've no idea, but the appraisal has been finalized and came in right at the contracted amount. Additionally, it appears from every angle that Auction.com and NationStar are in bed with each other and I don't believe it can be legal for NationStar Mortgage to be profiting off the backs of everyday consumers trying to avoid foreclosure, which by this process it appears they must be, by forcing properties into a bidding war on an auction site when there is already a legally binding contract to buy in place. You know NationStar is filling their pockets somehow, or else what reason would they have to use a secondary servicer like Auction.com when the property is NOT a foreclosure nor bank-owned and they already have a legitimate offer in hand?

    The Mortgage Debt Forgiveness Act to assist consumers facing short sales or foreclosures from being hit with taxes from the sale of depressed properties expired the end of 2013, so we're now unsure where we stand with regard to being taxed on a property that is severely "undervalued. " Every form and piece of paperwork has been signed and delivered by us, the sellers, as well as by the buyer and yet, here we sit still waiting - on a closing date and being given the run around by NationStar.

    As of yesterday, we were informed by our short sale negotiator that our "rep/negotiator" at NationStar who has been asking for unnecessary revisions to the HUD, is "no longer there." How convenient. And, we've been told there is a 3-day re-assignment period until we can get a new rep...yet another delay in a long line by NationStar. Seems to me, NationStar is purposely delaying this process that or they're completely inept and inadequately staffed in getting the job done, which is a real possibility. Either way, the longer they delay closing this sale, the further they put us in jeopardy of foreclosure - something we we've been trying to avoid from the start.

    If your loan is transferred from another mortgage company, your loan is handled by a different department. They keep transferring you between agents who know nothing about the issue you're calling about and ask you every time to verify your account information. I spent an hour just trying to fix my log-in and because my account was transferred to them, the department that has the account could not help and they transferred me back to the online experts who do not have access to my account info and they asked me to be transferred back to the second person and here we go... They have the worst customer service experience I've ever seen so far across different sectors. They tell you your call will be monitored for quality purposes and sometimes you receive an automated call to give feedback. I gave once feedback and they've never contacted me in response and they've never fixed the issues. Don't transfer your loan here even if it costs more to stay with your other mortgage company.

    We purchased our home with financing through Discover Home Loans. Excellent customer service! We bought a beautiful home from a desperate seller, so we had equity starting at closing! We purchased our home October 31, 2013 and our first payment was due December 1, 2013. But before our first payment was received, we were notified that our loan had been sold to Nationstar. That's when the problems started. Early in November, Discover sent us a very nice package explaining that after our December payment to Discover, we should make our January payment to Nationstar, and Discover even gave us the phone number and our new account number with Nationstar.

    Well, one month passed and nothing came in the mail from Nationstar. I called early in December and got their address and verified our loan number and payment amount in case I absolutely had to mail our payment (Don't ever mail your payment to Nationstar, judging by all the reviews they can't seem to keep track of anything you send them in the mail or on paper). I also had them correct our mailing address, for some reason they didn't have our PO box even though it was on all our Discover paperwork.

    I tried over and over again during the entire month of December to get on to their website but it didn't recognize my information so I couldn't setup an account. Finally about a week into January, after our first payment due date (but before the "late fee" date) I was able to have our loan number recognized by Nationstar online and get our account login setup. The first thing I found out is that somewhere along the way, they didn't even put in our entire street name for our mailing address, and they had lost our PO box address which I already called them with a month ago! The only address they had bothered to input correctly was the actual physical property location.

    You bet they know which house to foreclose! I corrected the address and then went to the payment screen so I could pay online. Lo and behold, there was a $10 fee for the privilege of typing in my own payment! I went through all the steps, even got a printed and an emailed receipt, but nowhere in our online account does it show our payment ever being received and our bank still hasn't received it for processing either and tomorrow is the "late fee" date! How much do you wanna bet that the first letter we receive from Nationstar will be a foreclosure notice! I am afraid that we will be just another one of Nationstar's "Equity Victims" and we've only owned our beautiful new house two and a half months!

    After having my mortgage transferred from Bank of America to Nationstar, my job began a cost saving effort to cut overtime. This cut is understandable, however the effect of this was that my bills became a lot tighter. I also started paying towards my healthcare which really had an effect on my financial status as well. I fell behind on my mortgage. I contacted Nationstar to try to reconstruct my mortgage to where we both would be happy to keep up the payments on time. I was denied. I then filled out paperwork for the Making Home Affordable Program. A month later...... Nationstar told me that they had not received my paperwork. I was astonished.

    After numerous calls over a 3 or 4 day period I finally got an associate who told me he didn't know why everyone told me that. He stated that my information was right in front of him on the computer. He told me I had to fill out a separate form because 1 page was not correctly sent. I did that. Approximately a week later I received a letter saying I did not qualify because, "Default not Imminent." A week later, I received a threatening letter stating if I didn't pay the full amount due? Foreclosure procedures would begin.

    I was assigned numerous Loan Specialists.... and could never contact the specialists listed. To this day, I have never spoken to a Loan Specialist who was assigned my loan. They send people to my home although I continue to tell them I will not and am not vacating the home. I have lived here for 19 years. With 4 children. I am completely astonished by the way Nationstar conducts their business, and the way they treat their customers. Last note? I am a veteran of the United States Marine Corps, and can't believe the VA would allow such a company with a Grade of D from the Better Business Bureau. In these times... we all could use some help.

    Steve ** from the Nationstar Mortgage sales (refi) department called me to encourage me to refi the loan that I had with them. He took some info over the phone and discussed my credit score and made a comment about another mortgage that I have for another home with another lender. My credit was run without my permission which I believe is an unacceptable practice. After reviewing the credit he needed to check on the "type" of loan I had to insure that I could refinance. He confirmed I was eligible for refi and then offered several scenarios over the phone with different upfront fees, APR rates and terms. I asked him to email me the data so that I could review.

    It was the holiday season so I did not open the rate/term options that he emailed to me and after the holidays I went to open the rates/term options but a time limit had expired. I emailed Mr. ** and was advised that he could not write the loan based on credit info and that it was the wrong type of loan. On December 4th it was the right type of loan and credit had been reviewed and offers were made but three weeks later it was not available. They called and solicited me, they checked my credit, they verified it was the right type of loan and made offers. Suddenly wrong type of loan and credit issues? They assumed my loan and I have not been late with payments and this is my primary residence. Don't call and solicit my business, make me several offers and then tell me I am not eligible. Nothing changed between the offers made on Dec 4, 2013 and my follow up on Jan 8, 2014 except the date.

    June and July of 2010 I was only two months late and the first week of August I pay check by phone like I always did since purchase of home in August 2003. I put a down payment of $68,000 on my home purchase of $141,000. At this time my mortgage company was First Horizon. They said they couldn't accept my payments of three months. My payment is due on the 15th of each month. They gave me the runaround and said to call their lawyers. They said leave name and account number on answer machine and I would receive a package in 5 business days. I did it 4 times and never received package. So I called back mortgage company. They said they didn't know what my home was worth. I said you are lying, it's your job.

    Then in September I hired a lawyer out of Jacksonville, Florida, paid them $1,850. I gave them all my information to which they promise to get my loan modification. They played me for over a year and rip me off. In that time frame my mortgage was switch to Nationstar Mortgage company. I gave them all paperwork they ask for time and time again. Every week they would say call back next Wednesday and they would have answer. They just kept playing me over until the next quarter and then I would have to start everything over again.

    Now they are getting ready to foreclosure on my home. I know why this is happening because I have a lot of equity in my home. It's worth $190,000. When a lot homes were bought between 2005 and 2008 that were way above what they were really worth and people walk out. So now all these mortgage companies are trying to steal homes they can make money on to make up for all the greed on their part.

    This company has, by far, the rudest representatives I've ever had to deal with. It seems like they don't have a bit of compassion for ANY type of situation that may cause hardship for their customers. Most mortgage companies say they want to resolve problems without having to foreclose because they really don't want people's properties, they want people to continue paying them on a monthly basis. I believe them. I think that is the best for both parties. I have dealt with many companies because my loan has been sold about 8 times since I bought my home. In the 25+ years I've made monthly payments, there have been about 4 times that problems surfaced that had to be resolved. And they were, with different companies in a respectable manner, that didn't include threats, undue stress or insults.

    And, because of this, I was able to continue to live in my home while I fulfilled my obligation. There are many different ways to deal with customers. The best of course is to resolve problems without compromising anyone's dignity or self worth. I know there are people who just want to do the best job they can, and damn anyone who gets in their way. That works in some industries but when dealing with the public as a customer service representative, if you identify and even show empathy for their situation, offer viable options you would do yourself if in their position, and resolve problems without putting them down or angering them in any way, you may find your job more rewarding and show the company that success is inevitable.

    Businesses rely on professional courtesy and so should businesses who deal with people. When you make a commitment, it should be kept. When options presented change after selected only because the original rep is no longer available, it shouldn't jeopardize an arrangement. If there are no notes in a customer's file detailing "special arrangements" made between a customer and the rep, I don't understand why management assumes the customer is being difficult. I have tried to communicate with many representatives with this company and even though all say something to the effect that it will be noted in your file, I've come to realize that this is ** and there really is no way any rep can attach anything to your file, which is why whoever you talk to, you need you to bring them up to speed on your situation.

    If there was "history" the rep could review, whoever you talked to would know how to proceed. I don't know if they are acting stupid or if they really are. I've tried to get my loan modified but a lender is not likely to help you attain a modification if they think foreclosure is really the best option. You can't argue with anyone about modification because while in the modification process, you are kept in the dark about its progress. You simply answer all of their questions while they answer none of yours. When you realize you should have heard something from them, besides the daily phone messages requesting a call, left on your phone machine by their autobot, your call to them reveals that any information they collect will be used to collect a debt.

    I realize I am obviously in collection by a company that is not only my lender, but a debt collector. I don't want to believe I could actually lose my home, especially now that I have limited funds to make my loan current. But making it current would make my application for modification non-applicable to the current situation. And that means I would have to start another application for a different type of modification, in a year that has been reported to be more difficult with the same company, Nationstar. So resolving problems in a positive way with a mortgage company that just doesn't care is about as likely as turning water into wine, or spinning thread into gold.

    Below is an email from the seller of the property. The home is scheduled for foreclosure on January 7, 2013. My client is the buyer who has stuck in for almost TEN months and increased the purchase price not once, not twice but THREE times. The negotiator, Lauren has not returned the phone calls over the last few days and no one at Nationstar will help!

    From the Seller: We have tried to contact Nationstar numerous times and have been hung up on more times than we can count. The employees we encounter are incompetent and could care less about the file. A voice message was left for the negotiator several months ago from us and we have yet to receive a call back regarding this. We are done trying to talk with them as they clearly do not want this to close as all parties have done everything required and met their demands. They have had this latest file for a week and a half and NOTHING has been done on their end.

    We were told when Nationstar took over the file in JUNE that everything would proceed from the place it was at with BOA. It was almost at the closing stage when it was sold. BOA was asked to not sell the loan due to being close to closing and they refused. At this point, we feel we are being discriminated against by BOA and Nationstar. I would assume that Nationstar has a process in place for escalation of a file to the highest point and a manager, VP, President, etc. The law office needs to be as aggressive as possible in getting this done MONDAY, January 7, 2013.

    My loans were sold by BOA to Nationstar Mortgage. I have a home and a rental property. The home loan was fine until they contacted me to refinance it at a lower rate with no closing costs. But they added almost $3000. to the principal with no explanation. I asked and they called it a "good faith" amount. There were other questionable issues happening as well. I did not finish that refinance. The rental loan is the bigger kicker. I had automatic payments set up to pay my principal, interest and escrow for taxes only. I paid insurance myself. In July 2013, they started taking about $250/mo. more than I had payments set up for. This drained my account so I couldn't pay utility bills. I contacted them right away. They said I needed a flood insurance policy and they placed one on the account for $2200 which I was being charged for.

    I told them I had flood insurance on it and it was $465 per year. They had the policy number, insurance company's name & address. They continued to over draw my account so I had to cancel my auto-pay and now they charge me $9.95 to make my monthly payments. They have caused me to have NSF fees (overdraft). SIX months later, in Dec. 2013, they finally reduced my payments from $1050/mo to $760/mo but will not return the $1500 they stole from my account or pay me the NSF fees I had to pay the bank. I would love to refinance this loan with someone else but on 10/10/13, I lost my job due to the business financial difficulties. I made good money there but have not found another job yet.

As he was topping the last bid, the computer went down and another bidder was determined to be the winner.

    After six weeks, the final bidder did not perform and the bank will not accept my buyer's offer nor will they speak with him or with me. The title to the property is flawed and the listing itself is incorrect. Their actions will cost me serious damage because the property they hold is half of an estate and the sale of both properties is needed in order to close the transaction and pay off the obligations.
