This company has the absolute worst customer service there is. They completely messed up everything. I can't get any straight answers from them. I applied for HAMP. It took them 6 months to deny me. During the 6 months I had to keep calling and calling. No one would return my calls and a month later, I got a "you didn't check this box". They told me to not make payments ha! Now 6 months after that they denied me. I owe all this back pay. So my mortgage is now more than what it was. How can they get away with this? They must do this to make extra $. It was completely insane to not get answers. Recently, I called to get a break down of my escrow. Not one person could help me. They either hung up or transferred me over and over. I still do not have an answer. How can a mortgage company get away with this?

I have 16 days to make a payment. The robo calls start 1 day after the first of the month. I called customer service. They state that these are only friendly calls only; however, they said I should log into their system to set up an account with them. Looking at the types of complaints, I think one would be better to stay with your bank. These people cannot take funds out of your accounts with your approval so stay with your bank and control your money. And then place them in the do not call list.

Called several times and asked that my name be removed from these calls. My account is due 1st until the 16th grace time... After being transferred from BOA to Nationstar (I have noted that on their board of directors, some at least one is a former office holder w/BOA. This is questionable as to how BOA is transferring accounts to former employees). My 1st payment w/ Nationstar was the month of August. It cleared my account on 8/11/13. Received from them a call morning of 8/12/13 that my account was passed due. Received a bill dated 8/2/13 for 9/1/13 showing a past due and present billing total 1,455.21. Have called many times asking for a corrective bill, to no avail and now late calls from 888-881-5279. SOS, please.

I was surprised to find out the BOA sold my loan to Nationstar Mortgage. Well, I was trying to give them the benefit of the doubt until I got my first bill. The bill was very confusing as to how to pay it online and read that I had to pay $9.99 to make my payment!!! which is unheard of... I work hard for my money and I don't like to give it away. I knew then that this company is bad news and is not going to get richer on my behalf. Needless to say, I'm refinancing my house with BOA as we speak. I can't wait to get rid of these people and go back to BOA.

Our house is in pre-foreclosure and we are letting Nationstar have it. We bought in 2007 and borrowed to do some upgrades. Well, in 2008, the market came crashing down and we are about $60,000 - $70,000 underwater as of current market values. We'd have to stay another 5 years or so just to break even. I will state that this was not our dream house, just a home to stay 5 or 6 years before we moved on to our long term home.
We were with BOA and the payments were too high so we tried to get a modification and that was a big hassle but we got one, although they didn't lower the payment much, just lump the back payments into a new loan and extend it a few more years. They immediately sold the loan to Nationstar 6 months back and I knew the minute I got the welcome letter that they would be crooks.
They do everything they can to either get what THEY want or just force you out. So, I feel for anyone going through all the crap with them and trying to save their home, much less their dream home. They are not interested in modifications and even if you could get one, the terms and tactics they use are so shady it's disgusting. I wouldn't even want them as landlords on a rental property. Going through a short sale with them looks to be a nightmare too and they offer no help on the matter. They just want their money, PERIOD!
It's just a big game to them. They lose documents so often that I am amazed they know how to run an office. My wife is actually a loan processor for a mortgage company in our state and they use several hundred companies to do mortgages with and she said that they would NEVER go near Nationstar because they are a complete joke.
So, we are saving all our money and plan on renting for a few years before buying another home. Foreclosure sucks and can be emotionally draining but it doesn't last forever and you can start getting halfway decent rates on mortgages in about 2-3 years as long as your other credit is good. Our mortgage credit will be bad but all our other bills are current and in good standing.
I have been keeping close records of everything though in case we go to an attorney or join a class action suit. One thing I would recommend to people is taking screenshots of their website and all the changes it shows to keep track. I have a file full of all the stupid modification requests, messages they put on which make no sense and show how incompetent they are. I have images of times when their website was down in the middle of the day but a pop up box said it should be available that morning. Images of weird dates on things (1-1-001) and I even have an image where they lost their accreditation with the BBB for 5 days, yet they were still advertising it on their website.
Don't listen to anything they say. They will lie to you and PLEASE never give them access to your bank account. If you did, change that immediately. If you can refinance elsewhere, do it but we chose to just let them have the house as in our case, it's not worth the hassle of dealing with them. They would rather foreclose and write off the loss than modify the loan. Honestly, we just needed our monthly payment lowered about $400 or so and we would be good but they are not interested so they can have this place.
God bless all who has to deal with this company and I do believe they are headed for something bad as all these tactics and pissed off people will come back to haunt them... GUARANTEED!

In 2006, I entered into a contract with Fremont Investments for a refi through a broker. Fremont had my appraisal for my home listed at $316,000. They promised that part of my principal would be used for investments that would help pay down the principal. I had enough money saved up to make the 2,174 a month payment until the projected value of my property met what I was being sold, then I would sell my house and be totally debt free. However, as 2007 ended, Fremont would not return my calls nor would they answer any letters that I sent. I began to do some research with this company and that is when I began to think something was wrong with my mortgage. I was running out of my savings to make that payment so I contacted a mortgage fraud HOPE hotline who gave me the run down on the things that I had to do. I followed that format to the letter.
Maryland DLLR got my case and based on the conversations that I had, I was relieved. I began to suspect that there was an issue with my appraisal and I requested Fremont send me a copy of that appraisal. That is when I found out that Nationstar had my mortgage. That is where this who saga began to turn ugly. I submitted a complaint to my state for investigation and received notification that there was nothing wrong with my mortgage. My home was worth what they say it is. I talked to my couple neighbors, one of whom has a log home and four times the land, and found out that the value of their home was only around $150,000. I brought this to the attention to the state along with copies of two court ordered appraisals from my divorce in 2003 that I forgot about. Even with that amount of evidence, the real estate commission denied my complaint.
I appealed to the Governor and others and finally in 2010, the state did send an investigator to my home. The first words out of his mouth were that this is no $300,000 home. The state took the appraiser to court in which I did testify in late 2010 and she was fined $2,500. However, I was given nothing whatsoever. My status with the mortgage company did change the payment to around around $1,700. By this time, I was out of cash and very deeply in debt. Finally, I now stand to lose my home because of an issue with the statute of limitations and the fact that Nationstar still believes that my home is worth what the contract says it is. I have filed with the CFPB and have others working on my behalf to secure a PRA modification under HAMP, but Nationstar sat on my paperwork for a month and did not submit anything.
My HRDC has been hung up on, put on hold forever, and made to fax documents to multiple numbers. They now say that my paperwork has expired and that I need to re-submit. This type of service is pathetic and unacceptable. If it wasn't bad enough that I was scammed and fraud committed and then let down by the negligence of others who are trusted to prosecute and protect, but to have this happen now is horrible. I feel sorry for anyone who is dealing with Nationstar Mortgage as they are impossible to deal with. I live on a country road when access is limited to 4x4 only. I am the only one who maintains this road and yet Nationstar insists that I live on a tar and chip road. I sent them photos to show that I didn't. I never heard a reply about that either.

I had my loan modified from BOA and then Nationstar took over. I was unable to log in the first couple weeks due to they didn't have the part together. Remember I need to make a payment. Well the modification didn't go through on the website so I made the payment less than what the modification said. Then they got it set right but didn't add the payment toward my new modification. Now I am 2 payments behind. I have been told no modification to yes waiting for it to come through a letter saying yes and no to the modification. But now all should be right other than they want to take that first payment and put to the modified side of the loan. Now as for someone to call you, I left a message for one of the specialists to call me and it took almost 3 weeks. The other specialist assigned to me month later still hasn't called, so I have decided to just do a deed in lieu and then fix up this house that is falling apart and rotting out. I really wish them the best.

PSB sold my mortgage to NationStar. I went in, set up automatic payments starting September 1st and continuing the 1st of every month thereafter. I came into work knowing that Labor Day would mean that my payment should come out on the 2nd of September due to the holiday. I have an email notice saying my payment is late though I have a 16 day grace period. I called and was told by customer service that they do not see any payment coming out of my account or any confirmation number confirming I had set up the payment. I was told there was an error and to set the payment up again. So, stupidly I listened and did. I got the same exact confirmation number as I did the first time. I called NationStar back and was told that I should have received a new confirmation number. Not to worry only one payment will come out.
My payment came out on the 3rd and again for September 1st on the 4th. I called NationStar back and told them what happened and asked for the monies to be put back into my account. I was told it was my fault. I said "Wait a minute, you told me the payment wasn't made, not confirmation number was showing and that no payments were pending." I received the same confirmation number twice. I was told I had to send them a statement showing they took the payment out twice and it would take 90 days to refund to my account.
I believe this mortgage company is foreign owned and a bunch of crooks. They can see that two payments were taken out using the same confirmation number. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to see that two payments within one day hit my account. Now what do I do? This is harassment and they cannot start telling people they are late when they are within their grace period. If this doesn't resolve itself I will go to an attorney!!! No doubt.
So is Consumer Affairs looking into all these complaints and doing something about it? That is my question. When 90% of the people are unhappy and fraudulent practices are taking place, it is time to step up for the rights of those who are being infringed upon.

My experience with Nationstar is much like everyone else's. I used to try to describe my experience with Nationstar to others and it was dumbfounding to people, and I would conclude by saying, "yeah they have 900+ reviews on a website and not one of them is positive, and I haven't even felt compelled to write a review yet." Well, I guess that has changed but where on earth do I try to begin? I will give a brief summary of my experience but the words I choose do not come close to describing it.
Much like everyone else, my Citi loan was sold to Nationstar without my knowledge. I attempted to refinance with Nationstar soon after, and I submitted an initial application. I was not eligible because the value of the property had decreased. About a year later I received a several hundred dollar "service fee" on my statement. After several very frustrating phone calls trying to find someone who could explain this, I then demanded a manager, who eventually informed me that this was a routine "home inspection". When I told her that no one ever inspected my home she eventually got back to me and said that there was a "drive by inspection" during the time that I attempted the refinance. What????
Several years later now, I again attempted to refinance my property since values had gone back up (obviously with a different company)... This is where it gets really messed up.
After spending several weeks submitting loan paperwork with my new company my lender said something was not adding up as I was again told I could not refinance. After an investigation we eventually found out that Fannie Mae had no record of my original loan - this was because Nationstar added extra letters to the name of my street so that Fannie Mae would not have a record of it, thus preventing me from refinance to a much much lower rate. I was told that Fannie Mae only updates their address database once a month and that Nationstar would have to submit an address change for it to get changed.
So I contacted Nationstar and I explained this situation to at least 6 people on 4 different days (yes about 25 people total) after getting transferred at least 5 times on each day to someone who eventually said they could help me simply change my address, I was told on each of these days that the address had been changed. I even confirmed with them on each occasion and they assured me that it was done. So two times I waited about a month for Fannie Mae to update their address database and on each of these two times they still had no record of the loan or the address getting updated.
I called back Nationstar, again, and asked for a manager - I believe this is when I spoke to someone by the name of Marcus who told me that there was no way that Nationstar could update my address unless I sent proof to them that it was spelled wrong (what?). His description of what he needed in order to erase two letters from my street name made it seem nearly impossible to do (he needed certified paper work from the city and county records, and all types of additional forms, contacts, etc that were not feasible). At this point I lost it. I demanded he change the address and he continued to say that he could not. I eventually contacted Fannie Mae myself and told them that Nationstar intentionally put my address wrong and refused to update it. Somehow without any of the hoops Marcus was trying to make me jump through the address eventually got updated with Fannie Mae, thus finally making me eligible for a refinance. Today my new loan is finished (thank the Lord) and Nationstar decided to send me an overnight FedEx package stating that my current mortgage is eligible for an express refinance, and then they called me asking if I received the FedEx package.
I am sure that I am leaving out something else major that I should write about this negative experience. There are many other occurrences that I have spoken with Nationstar and it is always so draining. I can't even describe it but if you have ever dealt with them you know what I mean. I hope this helps someone, somehow. If you haven't already - run from this company, as far and as fast as you can because they are no good and they do not care about you to say the least.

Nationstar is servicing my mortgage and I always dread trying to communicate with them. As I write this, I am heading into almost two hours in trying to resolve an issue with two accounts identically labeled.
I have encountered three people that didn't know how to resolve the issue, and one hung up on me and didn't call back. Apparently there is little training for telephone assistants. They don't answer questions, seem to have trouble working the computer, and apparently have no accountability. I have had them hang up on me if the issue is too complicated. The people I encountered today were sullen, had the worst telephone manners, and served as very poor reps for this company.
I have been waiting on a supervisor for 25 minutes. I guess they are showing me who's boss. Now after speaking with a manager--dense--dense--dense. Not very helpful--had to be forced question by question. I am looking to just pay off this loan since I firmly believe misery should be optional. I fear for American business if this is a trend.

Every month I get a phone call from their collections department stating my payment is past due whether it is 1 or 5 days late. I have never missed a payment and never paid a late charge. What is their problem? It is very annoying to receive these phone calls and especially when you don't get a person on the other end. I would not recommend this mortgage company to anyone. I have never had a problem before until with them when my account was sold to them. I will be looking to go with someone else who is more considerate and personal.

Due to unforeseen circumstances in which I take full responsibility for, my mortgage fell behind several months. I began receiving foreclosure notices from the mortgage company as well as a law firm. I contacted the mortgage company to review my alternatives. I was told that there were no options but to pay the past due mortgage along with a large dollar amount due to the law firm handling the foreclosure. I explained to the mortgage representative that I was able to pay the past due mortgage; however the large dollar amount of attorney fees was preventing me from paying the total amount due. She stated she contacted the law office and was informed that the amount she sent and quoted me was the amount the law firm quoted her. I asked her to send me a breakdown of the amount due.
She sent me a very detailed email outlining the amount, total amount due along with deadline to pay to prevent the foreclosure. After raising the money to have my mortgage reinstated, I called the mortgage company and spoke with the same representative who informed me the amount she stated still was good and I was to send the certified funds to her. I decided to call the law firm the same day I was to send the reinstatement payment to the mortgage. I was informed by them they were not contacted by the mortgage company regarding the charge that should be added to my reinstated amount.
The mortgage company advised me I had to pay $4777.59; the actual amount due per the law firm was $3333.12. The legal fees were only $50 and I was consistently quoted legal fees in the amount of $1502.48. You can imagine how upset I was to learn that I could have possibly lost my home due to the negligence of the mortgage company and their representative. Please help me. Was this fraud? Was I being scammed? How many families have lost their homes due to this incompetence. I am reaching out to you in hopes that you hear my story and somehow bring right to the wrong that was done to me. I am not looking for any monetary compensation; an acknowledgement of their wrongdoing would be fine. Perhaps they should be made to review and revise their reinstatement policies when it comes to their employees.

Nationstar took over my mortgage from BofA in June of 2013.
I recently contacted Nationstar Mortgage because I have an insurance settlement payment (storm damage) that must be signed by them before I can pay the contractors. My first suspicion there may be problems came when none of the IVR's menu options clearly applied to my situation, none offered to speak with a representative, and all seemed to require an account number before continuing.
I didn't have my account number so I used the age-old method of "hammer 0s until you get to someone". Queue my next red flag: when I did this, the IVR prompted me for my social and responded by saying that this call is related to an unpaid debt and that I need to speak with them or action will taken. (Go figure, I called them... Note that I have no unpaid debts.)
Hold time was approximately 7 minutes before I made it to a rep (this was 8:30am CT on a Monday). The rep was extremely curt and at times blatantly rude. He insisted I give him my account number. When I explained I didn't have that handy, he interrupted by saying "Social Sec Number then". I gave this number and he said I have no information in their system. This surprised me as I've been making mortgage payments to them for months. I said the same thing to them and he asked me for my number again, with the same result, and then he added "Sir, why don't you hang up and call back when you have your account number." (Geeze...)
After being treated so poorly I asked to speak with his supervisor, which he refused. I asked for his name. He said "Bill" and refused to give his last name. I asked if he has an ID number that could be used to reference this call and he gave it to me (will not post here). Finally I asked again to speak to his supervisor and he said "Look, we have policies not to allow people to speak to supervisors when we can't verify their account information. You need to call us back." I explained to him why I was calling to see if he could help even without pulling up my account (i.e. just tell me where to mail the check for Pete’s sake...) He refused to answer. At this point I explained I felt his treatment was unprofessional and dropped the line.
I'm seriously considering a refinance with a local CU just to get away from this place.

Ours is an ongoing story, refinancing under HARP, instructed not to pay in May 2013 as they had pulled down a settlement figure. They did not close us as they stated and then they sent a letter saying we were in default. They have continually blindsided us. We are still attempting to deal with them. We have initiated two internal investigations (they cannot find the recorded conversations we are referring too - surprise!). Their internal investigations are a cover up.
I now copy the CEO on ALL my correspondence and all of you should do the same (CEO: Jay Bray, Email: jay.bray@nationstarmail.com). Look him up **, see where he came from and then you will understand why the company is run the way it is. Nationstar is purely a debt collection agency. They don't want you to re-fi as then they make less money. I have been repeatedly asked by employees of Nationstar over the last year not to keep copying Jay Bray on correspondence. I still do it and I will continue to do it. When he changes his email, I will find that one and again I will do it. You should do the same.

I have had my own experiences with Nationstar and it's only been since June 2013 when they took over the servicing of the Countrywide/BofA loans. The Dodd-Frank Bill created an entity as part of the Federal Government called "The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau" or CPB. I have used them twice. Through their website, you document what happened and specifically what you want done. This is important because Nationstar has to respond to each item you ask for. The CFPB is a federal agency that regulates the financial institutions. They are keeping track of what institutions are defrauding consumers. When you go through the complaint process, you are given a case #. Nationstar has to respond to each one of the items you would like to see addressed or changed. Nationstar is also obliged to respond within 30 days after you file your complaint. It's all done online and it's free.
Like I said, I've used it twice once for Nationstar and once for BofA. Both of them acknowledged my complaint 3 days later and then did the obligatory follow up in 30 days. The best part of the process is if you don't like their answer, then you can dispute it and the process goes on. That way you have a running record of their behavior with the bureau. If all of us follow this process, it will have an impact on Nationstar and other viruses like them. This is the best way to document your problem and share some of the misery with Nationstar. They are very shady and they need to be watched. Remember, this is part of Dodd-Frank. The CFPB has only been around this year. They are eager to make it work. They are your best resource for affecting change. Or a class action lawsuit.

Our BOA mortgage was transferred to Nationstar. We sent in our mortgage check to Nationstar. In a week we started getting robocalls saying that our mortgage was past due. So for the next three months we sent in the checks by certified mail. The checks were signed for and we received a return receipt. BUT, we still kept getting robocalls from Nationstar saying that our rent was overdue. We waited long periods of the phone with "customer service" (which turns out to be in the Philippines while their offices are in Texas).

Nationstar bought my mortgage from BoA. However, they didn't buy both loans, just one. I'm told that this is because they knew the housing market is bad, people are upside down in their mortgage, and that the second loan probably isn't good. Yes, I actually heard this from one of their customer service agents. Well, I didn't find out my loan was being transferred until of course the last day of the month. They didn't establish an account number until the first week of the new month. I couldn't pay BoA because the account no longer existed so I had to wait. But according to the agent, no problem because I have 60 days to make sure the account is current before any late fees are assessed.
Well, I had an allotment that went to BoA. My house is a rental property so I had to have my property manager hold the rent check until I could find out where to pay. Don't you know that a week later, I started getting calls saying my account was past due? Well, because of the allotments, I had to stop everything. So I set up an account with a different bank to make things easier for my property manager, stopped original allotment and started a new allotment (after I finally got a Nationstar account number). I called Nationstar to let them know all of this. Response, no problem; however, I still received harassing calls everyday. I called them again and told them NOT to call me anymore unless I went past their 60 grace period.
Well, the calls stopped but now I get a letter saying they are about to put my house in foreclosure status. But get this.... account was made current two weeks ago. My 60 grace period does not end until today. What in the world is going on and how was this company (a collection agency I must add) ever get approved to be a mortgage company? What makes things worst is that unlike other mortgage companies, you only have until the 10th to get payment in before you are assessed a late charge (most give you until the 15th). And then there is this bank wire fee because they are not associated with a bank. I'm almost at the point until I'm ready to say.... keep the house. By the way... they only get one star because I have to give them a star. They are not even worth that!!!

My mortgage was transferred to Nationstar by BOA (the 2nd worst) as I was about to get a mortgage reduction from BOA. I had filled out the paperwork from BOA who assured me that this info would be transferred to Nationstar. I know that BOA did transfer it but Nationstar said they has not received it, which was a total lie.
Since then, I have been trying to get a lower rate but it is impossible to get someone on the phone. When they finally answer, they always transfer me to another agent after having waited at least an hour. Then the next person has to transfer me to someone else. I currently have a 5.65% rate and I am trying to lower it but nobody will help me. I already sent Nationstar all the info they requested by registered mail and they claim that they lost it. I also was told that I am not allowed to switch my mortgage to another company. Basically, BOA is allowed to sell my mortgage but I cannot change companies. I hope there will be a class action suit against Nationstar as they are, in my opinion, trying to do what many insurance companies do - "Deny the 1st claim". This is a disgrace.

Nationstar took over as servicer on 7/1/13. BOA had screwed our loan up about as bad as it could be. They kept insisting we had agreed to a higher payment but would not provide us with the proof. In the middle of lawsuit, they transferred it to Nationstar so they could say they have nothing on file. Nationstar will not remove the code saying we have an attorney so no one can talk to us.

My mortgage was recently transferred from Bank of America to Nationstar. I had paid extra payments to principal for more than four years to BOA. I wanted to make sure Nationstar had record of these payments and could assist me in how much time the additional payments may have shaved off the mortgage. For weeks I have been attempting to find someone to help me. I could go on about the ridiculous automated answering system and horrible treatment by the individuals taking calls, all of whom sound as if they are from a different country and do not understand what I am saying.
The last person I reached insisted she could assist me, repeatedly supplied me with the original date of the loan's maturity, did not grasp the simple concept that the extra payments to principal would reduce the maturity date and finally told me that I should ask my husband because surely he has an understanding of such things and she was certain he would help me sort it out! BOA apologizes but what good does that do me now? I have (I think?) only about 8 or 9 years on the loan and it probably makes no sense financially for me to refi even with current rates. So I'm stuck with this horrible lender. Homeowners in the US deserve some voice in these situations. If anyone has advice, please post!

My loan was sold to this company by Bank of America; the rest of the story has been a NIGHTMARE! We never had any defaults in our 9 1/2 years with the bank. With 6 months left on the loan, we have had nothing but problems with their customer service. Red notations all over our account for ONE day past their new deadline. Phone calls daily beginning one day past due date. (They advertise 11 day grace period.) And this is all when you pay bills online! I advise anyone using this loan company to buy a good supply of Aspirin for the headaches you are going to have!! Oh, and it would also help if you speak a middle eastern language.

The end of June 2013 I refinanced with Loan Depot - not a bad experience as far as the actual refi.
My first payment was due August 1st. Since I pay electronically I set up the payment for July 20th to be sure I had time to rectify any issues. After I set up payment I received a notice from Home Depot telling me they had transferred the servicing of the loan to Nationstar. The notice stated that I should make payments to Loan Depot until Aug 1st. Since this was already set up I did not change it.
A few days later I received a letter from Nationstar stating basically the same thing. To make a long story short Nationstar is showing my account as delinquent and have applied my September payment as if it is paying August. They have send envelops with notations on the outside stating we have payment option to our mailbox in an attempt to embarrass us. I have called them 4 times since the end of last month. They are totally unhelpful (one of their customer service reps told me my "beef" was with Loan Depot not them) and the latest attempt to harass us is to state that they have been advised that our insurance has lapsed and they are going to purchase insurance on our behalf. Totally untrue (we wouldn't have obtained the loan without a paid up policy less than 6 weeks ago). They have told me to have my loss payee changed to them (on my cancelled policy) even though Loan Depot has assured me that they did not sell the loan - only the servicing. Bottom line is stay away from Loan Depot and especially their agent Nationstar. There are too many good companies out there to deal with organizations such as these. I'd also like to know from others whether this is their standard operating procedure.

I made my August payment in July on NationStar's website as I have for months. Without my knowledge, the payment was reversed and I was never told. When I went to make September's payment, NationStar shows that I have missed a payment. They charged me a late fee AND they cannot accept my payment from the bank I have always used. NationStar tried to claim that the routing number had been changed for my bank. I checked with Bank of the West and I had the correct routing number, account number, and more than enough money to make my payments. I am not sure what is going on, but from my perspective - it looks like they are trying to make me default on my loan! We went to Bank of the West and got a Cashier's Check for the August and September payments and mailed it yesterday. The teller at Bank of the West also has her mortgage with NationStar and had nothing good to say about them. What is going on with NationStar and why are they allowed to continue with questionable business practices???

I was informed a few months ago that my current homeowners insurance was not going to renew so I was assigned another company. The company forwarded the information to Nationstar as well as did I WELL prior to the payment being due. On 8/7/13 I faxed the information to Nationstar & on 8/12/13 I called them to make sure they made the payment... I was on the phone over 20 min and the girl said she was making the payment.
Today 8/28/13, I get a cancellation notice from the insurance saying they never got the payment. HOURS on the phone and I had to call the insurance to get a overnight address. I called back because Nationstar needed to add more money to cover the late fee. The rep wanted me to hold on the line while she called the insurance to see if they would waive the fee. NO WAY not after being on the phone with them for hours.
This also happened a few years ago and I went thru pure grief trying to get it all corrected. It is their job to get my payments to the companies on time.... thought that is what I paid extra for... instead I have to do leg work, fight thru the VRU system, speak with RUDE reps and have to call back a few days later to make sure what they said they were gonna do is done. Oh and overnight... means 4 days later. My payment is already LATE. Nationstar should be forced to close.

I had completed a loan modification with Bank of America and my first permanent modification payment was made on June 1, 2013. When I signed my permanent loan modification paperwork with BofA I noticed an error the underwriter made in the BofA documentation. BofA recognized, then advised that they would correct the error. BofA told me they would send me corrected documentation to sign. Well two months go by and then my loan got transferred to Nationstar Mortgage effective June 4, 2013. Bank of America said they are no longer responsible and could not help me in any way as the loan was now transferred to Nationstar.
Nationstar says they are working on this when I call them and now it has been almost three months that have gone by. I continue to make my permanent loan modification payments, however Nationstar has written me with certified mail stating that my mortgage is several months past due and now they served me with certified mail stating that they intend to enforce the provisions of my original note and related security instrument unless I pay the full amount of the default on the loan by 9/25/2013. Essentially Nationstar says one thing on the phone "that they are working on it" however I am being communicated with written documentation and served with written documents that state they are going to enforce the original note, in other words foreclose.
Basically my permanent loan modification that I spent about a year working on with Bank of America is not being recognized or revoked by the new servicer Nationstar mortgage. I have provided all the documentation I received from BofA to Nationstar, however they do not recognize the permanent loan modification. Nationstar also has not returned any of my calls on this question. I have had to always call them again, and again, and again. I have had what they call 6 separate SPOC "single points of contact" all of which I left messages with or can't reach, and after asking to talk with supervisors I get the same old answer - well we will escalate the call, but nothing happens except the letters I receive saying how much I am late and in default and they are going to enforce the original loan agreement and foreclose.
It seems like Nationstar is dragging this out until they can show I am so far behind, and then jump in and try to foreclose without regard of the Bank of America permanent loan modification. This all started because Bank of America's underwriting department made an error and then transferred the loan to Nationstar who now isn't recognizing my previous loan modification. I feel they are both terrible companies to deal with and somewhere there should be some type of redress for me due to all the emotional trouble, and time I have had to spend to try and make use of a government program that shouldn't be that difficult to implement.
It is ridiculous, and maybe if these servicers were penalized in some way they would get their act together. It has been too long, waiting and waiting only to find out they plan to start foreclosure proceedings 9/25/2013. If something isn't done to resolve this matter I feel that I am going to lose my home even though I am making my permanent loan modification payments.

Our lender sent it all. I have filed a complaint with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and have asked Nationstar reimburse me any 'rate lock extension fee.' This is fair and I will get it I hope if they are late. I expect them to be late after reading everyone else's complaints. I am a mortgage broker so I know this is 'over the top.'

I had a house fire on October 8, 2012.

A third claim check (with 2 more yet to follow at a later date) was received by Nationstar on July 18, 2013. It was, according to one agent, "misdeposited" on July 19. Several weeks and more than several phone calls later, the check has still not been located. Yet we were assured during some of those calls that it was either located and/or deposited into the correct account. As of today, Aug. 28, a "specialist" in the Loss Draft department told me the check was indeed "never" located since July 19, and I should call my insurance company to issue another check. Upon calling the insurance company, they informed me that the check was "cashed" by Nationstar on July 24, and therefore they will not issue a new check. I have no resolution in the foreseeable future to this issue. Meanwhile, I have already paid thousands of dollars to contractors for work completed out of my own pocket. I am at a complete loss.

Per the bank this payment was delivered to Nationstar on 7/9/2013, with a due date of 7/11/2013 or earlier. The statement from Nationstar on 7/15/2013 for this payment showed a received date of 7/12/2013. I don't understand why it took 3 days to apply this payment, but it was NOT late and I refuse to pay a late fee - even though they are trying to bill $65 for a late payment.
At the same time..... on 7/2/2013, we received a "notice of non-payment of premium" for our Homeowners Insurance Policy from Nationwide. The insurance was scheduled to be canceled on 7/17/2013 if they did not receive the annual payment that was due. On 7/10/2013, I made payment to Nationwide, as they had still not received payment from Nationstar (even though they had it in my escrow) and without this payment we would have lost coverage on our home, which would not have reinstated and would have caused our home to be uninsured. Nationwide finally received payment from Nationstar on 7/25/2013. At this point, I think we should be billing Nationstar for a late payment...This was all AFTER a terrible refinance with them.

Back in 2010, I had an awful experience with BOA with a modification, people not calling me back, giving me false information, etc. I took scrupulous notes. My loan is now transferred to Nationstar whoever. Getting back to 201... They approved my modification only AFTER I got sick and tired of their **. Here's the solution that I did... I know I'm going to have to use it again as I'm still having issues and I'm sure I'm going to have to dead with Nationstar soon enough.
I wrote the CEO a poison pen letter. I explained my entire situation and what and who was contacted and what was said and what I had to offer, what I expected and the rift I went through. I sent a copy of that same letter to - believe it or not, I truly did - The President of the United States, The US Comptroller, The Florida Attorney General and numerous others. I spent nearly $40 for all the postage including certified mail return receipt requested. It was amazing how many responses I got and how things got fixed the way they should.
I can tell I'm going to have to go that route again. Due to health reasons of my mother and my own, our home went into Foreclosure. I am asked to go to mediation and have some money to put down to get back on track. However, I am very hesitant after reading everyone's comments. I don't have a clue whether to go forward or just give up the home. We built it. We love it. I'd hate to move. Our credit sucks so I would resort to renting and that's a waste. Maybe this Mediation thing might work. I dunno.Bottom line....Don't give up and try what I've done and definitely put in the complaint to the Better Business Bureau and the clerk & Comptroller of your state. Carbon copy everyone with your plight and fight and flood their offices with your complaints about this company. It is the only way to make progress.

I am totally surprised that with all the complaints here on Consumer Affairs, there is only one complaint filed with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) on Nationstar within the past two years. How can anyone expect positive changes without making a formal complaint? They forward these complaints to the company and expect a response from them. If you feel you are being mistreated by Nationstar, you need to let the the CFPB know. If enough complaints are filed maybe the CFPB; and who knows, Nationstar themselves, may get the message.

Yes, Nationstar is not working for us it sounds like it is working for BOA.

I will start by saying Nationstar mortgage company sucks. I am 67 yrs. and my wife is 59. We applied for a loan modification back in November 2012 and after sending in 84 pages of documentation to Steve ** was told that the documents had been received and the loan was approved. Our contact person from then on would be "Tracy". Today is Aug.18, 2013, we have so far received eight (8) Good Faith Estimates dating from Dec.6, 2012 which showed the cost of the loan to be $5,533.46. Another one on the same day showing the cost of $5,928.46.
On Aug. 17, 2013, we received an email from Michael showing the cost to be $8,349.19 (cannot make copy, of course). The interest rate has increased also. We are current with mortgage payments, but we don't know how long we can continue to make these higher payments. We have been current on payments for over a year now. This is not only dishonest, but just plan shameful. How would they feel if someone was treating their parents or grandparents the way they have treated us.

My mortgage was sold to Nationstar by BofA in June 2013. We had been with BofA for 14 years, never a late payment. My concerns began when I got a call from a "service rep" at Nationstar in mid-July who wanted to go over my account with me and fill in some information. I said "Okay" and he said "What's your address?" I said "What? You're calling me, pal. If you're from Nationstar, you should have my address in front of you." He said he didn't so I hung up on him. Seemed fishy, right?
I went online as per instructions by mail from Nationstar and "signed up" and set my auto payments to begin the 5th of July until the mortgage is paid off. Got home from vacation today with a letter telling me they're foreclosing on my house because they haven't received a payment for July or August!! Wow. I went online to try to figure out the problem and can see that, for some reason unknown to me, they haven't taken the payments out of our bank account. I tried to make the payments right then and the site won't allow me to do that. I'll call Monday morning and hope this will be resolved...but seeing the comments here, I don't feel optimistic about that. I'm going in...wish me luck.

This review is regarding issues applying additional principal payments each month. Nationstar Mortgage has made this an unnecessarily difficult process, and I would like others to know about it. I'm also seeking advice on things I can do about it.
Some info about myself: I have never missed a payment on any form of loan or revolving credit. At 28 years old, my credit score ranges between 775 and 800. I have owned two houses and had mortgages sold several times in the past with no real complaints. There is always a bit of a learning curve when switching companies and adjustments are required. This is nothing unreasonable to me. I am aggressively paying off my mortgage, sending additional principal payments every month.
My loan was sold from Bank of America to Nationstar Mortgage sometime in May 2013. I made my May and June payments to Bank of America and made my first payment to Nationstar Mortgage in July. The first payment made in July went extremely well. They accepted my normal monthly payment of $893 and applied the additional principal of ~$3500 to the principal balance.
The second payment made in August did not go as planned. Nationstar took the initial $893 payment, as expected. Then, they took another $893 from the "additional principal" payment I made (total was ~$4000) and applied that to my September payment. The rest of the additional principal payment was applied to the principal balance. So to recap, it looked like this: I intended for $893 August payment and $4000 additional principal. Instead, they took $893 August payment, $893 September payment, and then $3107 additional principal.
I contacted Nationstar to inquire, and the customer service representative informed me that this was standard operating procedure. He called it "payment application logic". He said that it was Nationstar's policy to apply any additional payment (above the normal monthly payment) to the next month's payment before applying anything directly to principal. I stayed on the phone with him for about 30 minutes until he agreed to request that they correct the payment application.
He said that this could not be guaranteed, but that he would attempt the request. He also let me know that he could send me a form to fill out that would request that all future additional principal payments be applied directly to principal instead of following the normal "payment application logic". I also asked him to send me something in writing detailing this "payment application logic". He has agreed to send that to me via mail. What I don't understand is how can they force me to pay a month in advance before paying off the principal directly? Also, why did they not use this "payment application logic" to my first month's payment? Am I being pushed around? Any help is much appreciated.

I have been dealing with a loan mod since April. Every time I call, I am told a different document I provided is illegible even though they are scanned. Every time I am given a different answer. These are some of the people who I have dealt with over email: Jonathan, Deborah, Cynthia, Marcus. Nationstar will not help with a HAMP because they do not benefit from it. They will make sure to foreclose on the property and will do whatever it takes to procrastinate and play games until the homeowner is exhausted and gives up or has fallen so much behind they can foreclose. The only reason they offer the HAMP is because they have to, but they don't have to qualify anyone for it. I would love to hear from anyone from Nationstar. Next I am planning on running an advertisement in a few newspapers for any whistle blowers from Nationstar to come forward for a reward. That's the only way to expose the scam.

Lesser level of service than BOA (no same-day online payment without fees or phone payment without fees). Receive many "courtesy" calls to hound me for a payment BEFORE my traditional pay date. Customer service is absolutely rude and refused to even hear me speak (She had a spiel to go through apparently). I need to refinance asap - I can't stand dealing with these people and it's only been a couple of months! Sad thing is - I have a big payment and have never gone out of my grace period on a payment!!! TERRIBLE!!!!! BOA must really care about their customers!

I will start out by saying that Nationstar Mortgage is nothing but a foreclosure mill and they will lie and deceive people to get what they want in the end and that would be your house. I had a court hearing with them today in Florida and I am stunned at the lies they told in regard to my house. Let me say that I have done everything possible to stay in touch with them to obtain a modification or a deed in lieu to avoid a foreclosure and the rep from Nationstar just lied to the judge at the hearing (she was on the telephone). The thing that really hurts is that I had proof of all of my dealings with this evil bank (I believe that they are just an extension of Bank of America and as bad as them if not worse).
Well guess who the judge believed even with my proof that was in writing with every detail of what my dealings were with Nationstar bank? He went with Nationstar and didn't even care what I was showing him right there at the hearing. They made me feel like I was nothing and so I want to forewarn anybody who thinks that this bank will help them to save their home that is not this bank's intention and they are the biggest FRAUDS just like Bank Of America and perhaps other banks as well.

I agree with the last customer's comment about this company. My contract was sold to them by Bank of America in June 2013, and since then, problems occur. I never had problems with my mortgage payments. I feel an investigation should be implemented, since there are over 800 complaints about this company. Also, the customer service is despicable. I would like to know if there is anyone who has advice on what actions to take, to start an investigation and transfer to another mortgage company.

I finally got a job on 11/07/2012. I had been out of work for over a year and finally I might be able to catch back up on my mortgage that I haven't been able to pay. Nationstar had bought my loan from Bank of America and had been calling me threatening me with foreclosure and options for modification that wouldn't help me cause I tried and I never qualify for anything. So I finally called them and let them know that I can afford to pay my mortgage again so what was I looking at paying... Their response was they could not let me pay anything less than $3000 to get started back up. I kinda expected something crazy and said could I make payments to that 3000 cause I just got a job and there's no way I could afford that. They gave me the option to do a loan modification, sign over the property or pay 3000. I told them I'd try my best and I'd call them back.
Well it took almost 2 months to go 3000, so I called them back. After them denying they had ever said anything about $3000 they said it would cost 5700 to get to be able to start paying my mortgage again. I said I'd try and could they give me a month. Well a few weeks later I called back. I had 7000 in the bank and I was ready to put it all in. They said no one ever told me about $5700 and it would cost 9700 to got back to be able to pay on my mortgage. Now I'm really freaking out. I asked them could they at least took what I have and I could pay them in about 3 weeks the rest. They said they couldn't take anything under 9700 and I had until March to pay it.
Well I made it to March. I've got 10600 in my account. I call... They say they don't know who told me 10600 but it's going to be 11190 to get my account back up to start paying. I hung up, went borrow the rest I needed from a friend since I'd thought I'd be done and called them back. They gave me a bank number to wire transfer it to and I did it. This was on a Friday and I asked for confirmation and a letter saying I had paid them and I could start paying my mortgage again. Well I couldn't call them back cause by the time I got back from the bank it was after business hours. Monday I get a call. Nationstar acts as a debt collector... etc. The rude woman tells me I paid the wrong amount and my funds are frozen and will not go towards the balance unless I come up with about $530 more... I freak out asking them what the hell is wrong! Why do they keep lying and making up things. Every time I call back it's a different person, they've never heard of the last person I've talked to and don't recall conversations I've had.
I asked about the recording of the phone conversations that they keep for quality service and they say I can't get them without a court order.... I begin to cry and hang up. I go borrow more money and call them back, set up the payment, do a wire transfer and ask them to please God sent me confirmation, set me up on a repayment plan and let me pay my mortgage. They drop another bomb on me... They set me up by saying I'm 22000 behind and I have to make up the balance by paying 1600 a month until caught up, and by dong that I'm still going to be marked as late every month until I meet this $22000 some odd goal due to lawyer's fees and such....
Well I get by a few months doing that then on July 23 2013 I call them and set up a payment. 1600 as usual but I ask the lady a question. I tell her I work offshore for 3 to 4 weeks at a time and work when I'm home. When I'm gone I don't have communications with the shore for weeks and it would be easier if I could pay two months at a time. She responds by saying that is completely possible and she could set it up anytime, so I tell her I have the funds available so could I make a payment for August as well. She sets it up, does the draft and gives me a two confirmation numbers for July and August payments. I write them down and ask her could she note my account that I am paid up for two months and email me, send a letter, etc... She says it's no problem at all and I don't have to pay again until September 1st. I ask again will I be penalized or will the money be applied to the balance or will it actually go to August's payment. She assures me again that August is taken care of and I have only 5 more months of paying 1600 a month to be free of this mess....
Well August comes and my wife gets a call August was not paid and penalties and possible reinstatement of foreclosure will recommence if it isn't paid by the 16th of August..... I finally get time (by the way I'm 300 miles off shore) to beg a high up to use a phone to make a call. I call Nationstar and wait an ungodly amount of time to get through their wait to talk to a woman who tells me there is no note of being paid for August and the two payments were confirmed and they were applied to the balance, not the loan..... That's today 08/13/2013.... I'm offshore, have no money until Friday and now I'm considering giving up. Michael ** doesn't know what to do anymore. Will I ever be able to keep a roof over my son and wife's head?

Since my last post, I contacted my Insurance agent and had him contact Nationstar to get the insurance policy reinstated. Yesterday I received a "FINAL NOTICE" letter from Nationstar which informed me that they had setup an "Insurance Binder" for my mortgage with "Standard Guaranty Insurance Company". This policy just happened to be almost exactly DOUBLE the cost of my previous policy!
Once again I contacted Nationstar and they told me they had no record of contact with my insurance company, and they needed proof of insurance sent to them before they would release any of the Escrow account funds, which were supposed to have been used by them to pay my insurance premium back on 6/23/2012. Wasn't it convenient that my mortgage was transferred to Nationstar (along with my escrow money) just 16-days before my premium was due??? Yet I wasn't contacted by Nationstar about my insurance until 7/10/2013 when they let me know that my, "insurance policy has either expired, cancelled, or non-renewed on 6/23/2013 and a replacement policy has not been provided."

Wow! After reading these complaints, now I'm really quite worried about my own situation with Nationstar. In May of 2013, I completed a loan modification with BofA. On June 4th, my loan transferred to Nationstar. On June 11th, my home property were involved in the Black Forest fire in Colorado. My insurance company has issued checks to me get everything repaired and rebuilt and, by law, they have to put Nationstar on the checks as an endorsee.
I cannot get Nationstar to endorse the checks so I can start rebuilding. I've been fighting with them for almost 2 months now. I have spoken with dozens of people at Nationstar, including several "supervisors". I'm told that I am showing up as delinquent in their system (owing them a $12,000+ payment!), and until I am "current" in their system, they cannot endorse the insurance checks.
I have also been getting foreclosure notices! They say it takes them 60 to 90 days to "review" my loan modification to make sure BofA did everything correctly, and then they will show me "current" and then I can get the insurance checks endorsed. I have had no less than 5 "supervisors" tell me they would put a "rush" on it and it would be done in 5 to 7 business days. 2 months later, still not done!
The bad part is, I have a water well that was destroyed in the fire, and I can't get it fixed without paying a downpayment to the well people. In addition, I sent them my 2nd mortgage payment to arrive by 8/1/13. It has still not cleared my bank. This is all totally out of my control. I was perfectly happy with BofA and had nothing to do with this company buying my loan. I don't know what to do!!!

Our mortgage loan was sold to Nationstar Mortgage a few months ago. It is due the 1st of every month, delinquent after the 16th. It takes us a week to 10 days to collect rent from our tenants, deposit and make sure their checks clear before we pay our mortgage, which is always before the 16th. Nationstar begins DAILY harassing automated phone calls on the 3rd or 4th saying our account is past due and they are a collection agency attempting to collect a debt. This continues every day at all hours of the day and night - even after they have received our payment. I see online that our payment has cleared our bank and they still call us every day. There is no option in the call to speak with a real person - just constant calls that even paying them don't stop.

I have already had one problem but not sure of the outcome.... Let me say after reading this page and another website I am worried. BOA sold our loan to Nationstar. I can't say I was upset at first. After 10 years with BOA, I left them (I thought) closing out bank accounts and IRA-CDs totally disgruntled with how their service had gone downhill. Countrywide then transferred my loan to BOA and I was back in bed with them like it or not. Nationstar took over my loan July 1st. When I learned about the transfer there wasn't time to make my payment by the 1st and since I had paid online with BOA, I now had to mail in my payment to Nationstar until I got an account number from them. I don't own checks so I got two money orders--included my BOA account number on them like instructed.
My home monthly payment is $1043. I had to get two money orders because they couldn't make the money order for more than a $1000. So, I got one for $1000 and one for $100--putting an extra $50 toward my $120 fees. (I had some late fees with BOA but not an overwhelming amount of fees). They applied the $1000 to my home loan and put the $100 toward the fees... IN EFFECT.... they shorted my July payment and told me I hadn't made the full payment due for the month. So they recorded my monthly payment as late. I called and got a wonderfully nice woman on the phone who said they probably didn't even read the BOA payment slip included with my payment.
(Seeing as how they are taking over for BOA you would think they would at least LOOK at the payment slips or if nothing else put the full amount toward the monthly payment and the remainder to fees. My fees were only for paying after the 16th NOT for paying missing a mortgage payment completely PLUS IF THEY DIDN'T READ the payment slip how did they know I didn't want that 50 to go toward escrow or principal???) Anyway, I was told the correction had been made. Again, I got no sense at the time that the person I was speaking with wasn't following through on what she said. But then my next statement came.... and it still shows the same thing. I am calling today to get them to change it. When I went online to find info about the company Nationstar I saw several complaint pages popped up--so of course my curiosity was peaked. I have to say I am now scared to death that our loan is with Nationstar. I don't have perfect credit and definitely not an 820 like someone else mentioned.
We have been buried with medical expenses for my daughter over the years but felt like we have been above water lately... but always knowing that medical issues could pull us right back into a financial pit again. We have never paid our loan 30 days late just to note for the record... but it sounds like we are perfect for Nationstar's victim pool if all this is true. I do find it funny that Jay Bray President and CEO of Nationstar (CEO since 2000) --- was employed with Bank of America for 6 years prior to going to Nationstar... His bio said he had multiple leadership roles which might mean he "knows exactly how the system works" to set people up to fail. I hope that assumption/opinion is wrong.

Months went by and no response from B of A until August I received a letter saying I've been assigned a relationship manager. I tried calling the relationship manager numerous times every week but only got her voicemail. A few weeks after receiving the letter advising of my assigned relationship manager, I received another letter stating that she is no longer assigned. A few weeks after that, again, I received a other letter stating she was assigned then a couple days after that again, another letter saying she was no longer assigned. I then, a week later, received another letter saying my modification was cancelled because documents were requested and I did not provide them. I became very confused by that letter because NO ONE requested any documents from me whether via phone or mail.
I then called B of A again in October 2012 to inquire what is going on with my modification only to be told that u need to complete documents. I did not complain, I completed the documents and sent them back promptly. A week later the new assigned relationship manager told me it was not approved because it does not show the need even though on my income worksheet and my bills it shows I am short over $1000/month in income for bills. I also went as far as explaining to the new assigned relationship manager that I am a newly grad and was to finalize my divorce plus I was out of work for 7 months and the new job I work now is not even half the income I use to make when I purchased my home.

I faxed the decree and here it is 2 months later and I a yet to get an answer instead eh keep going back and forth telling me all kinds of excuses with the latest excuse being that "your ex husband was not on the lien so that won't make you qualify for the modification". I became very upset and told the assigned RM I will be reporting B of A for their shady practice and worse I am struggling to decide "should I pay my heating bill or should I pay my mortgage or should I buy food to eat or should I pay my student loans".

I contacted the number listed for Nationstar, listed in the first and only letter BofA sent me in May 2013 advising they sold my loan to Nationstar. When I contacted Nationstar, I was told that I did not complete the pre-modification trial. Now, you can bet your bottom dollar I was livid. Livid because, the 3 months trial, BofA automatically debited my checking account for the amount that my trial was set for. To this date, Nationstar still states that I did not complete the trial and is now 5 months behind my mortgage. By this time, I am FUMING! I asked the representative how in the world can I be 5 months behind when BofA debited my checking account on May 1, 2013 for my 3rd and final pre-modification trial and I was also advised that I completed the trial in May 2013. The 100th representative I spoke with gave me the same falsify story that they do not have all the information they need from BofA and that it is a system error.

I can't give Nationstar a 5 star recommendation only because our time dealing with them has been very short. However, we had a home built earlier this year and our builder told us that within a few months our mortgage would be transferred. Toward the middle of July we got a letter stating that Nationstar would take over our mortgage on August 1st. The letter gave us our loan number with Nationstar, where to make a payment etc and stated that we would receive a packet from Nationstar shortly.
Near the end of July we received a welcome letter from them with info for logging in, telephone number to call for questions, etc and it stated that we would soon receive a welcome packet. Today, August 12th, we received the packet. Since we make our payments due on the 1st during the middle of the month prior and we had the original letter from the builder giving payment info for Nationstar we weren't concerned about getting the packet right away. On August 3rd we were able to log into our account and all figures match that of the final statement printout form the builder.
Instructions in the packet include how to pay online at their website (for no charge), a payment coupon if we want to send it by mail (which we would never do) in addition to other payment choices. There was also information pertaining to our account. I had already set them up as a payee in our bank account so that they can be sent our payment electronically through the bank or on their website. I just made our Sept payment online at their site and there is no charge. In order to not have a charge you must be making your payment no later than 10 days late. This one was about 19 days earlier than due date. I do believe that anyone complaining about this company may possibly have one of the following issues:
1. Not taking a proactive stance on your loan obligation.2. Not thoroughly reading or paying attention to instructions.
3. Account transferred from a company that was not as efficient as our builder.
4. Late payments
5. Not computer savvy - it's the best way to do things these days and if done correctly can save much hassle.
We have no issues with them at this point. We'll wait to see if that changes at the end of the year when it is time to review the escrow amounts for ins and taxes on future payments on our VA loan. I hope everyone can have as good as an experience as we have had so far.
Updated 01/17/2015: On Aug 13, 2013 I originally wrote a review about Nationstar giving them 4 stars because we had just had our builder's mortgage transferred to them and had not had much experience with them at that point so didn't have knowledge to rate them higher. I still believe in my rating comments that many issues with this or any other company are due to many factors: Not taking a proactive stance on your loan obligation. Not thoroughly reading or paying attention to instructions. Late payments. Not computer savvy the best way to do things these days and if done correctly can save much hassle. In addition to Government Regulations, human error, possibly a transfer that wasn't as efficient as ours and other things I might not have mentioned.
Everything has not gone totally smooth during this past year and a half but I can say the outcome itself has been 5 stars. The 4 star rating is for the issues in general. We make our payments in one month for the payment due on the 1st the following month so the payments are always early. We nearly always pay them through our banks bill pay while sometimes we pay directly on the Nationstar website. Fall of 2013 all goes as expected but since I am very proactive I check the site every month after I have made the payment to make sure that it has posted. This takes only a couple of minutes and is worth the effort.
In Dec 2013 we received a large check from Nationstar with a letter stating that our escrow had been overpaid and that beginning Jan 2014 our payment would be lowered. The amount was about $200.00 a month. My husband and I discussed the fact that I really felt something was not right but since our payments were posting and everything was going along we thought maybe we missed something and they knew better than we did.
Fast forward to Sept 2014 when our county tax bill arrives. I went onto the website to see if they had made the payment to the county. I wasn't totally familiar with this process as we had never had a mortgage before that included the taxes /insurance being paid by the mortgage company. The payment hadn't been made yet (actually wasn't due until Nov) but our escrow balance was not near enough to cover the tax bill.
Light Bulb goes on!!! We believe that they had used the previous tax amount for an empty lot not with the estimated house taxes as the builder had calculated which is how we ended up with the check the past Dec and lower payments for 2014. I was not a happy camper so I called Nationstar and talked with a very helpful lady in the escrow department. You need to be sure to talk with the correct dept. She explained how it works and that if the balance is short at review time in December the amount still due will get tacked onto next years payment in addition to a payment hike for the actual amount the escrow should be. As a preliminary calculation we figured the payment would go up nearly $400.00. I told her that I wanted the payment to be about the amount that the original mortgage was with the builder since those are figures we had originally counted on. She told me that we would have to pay the negative balance of the escrow for that to happen.
So the plan was to make extra escrow payments with the regular payments in Oct, Nov and Dec so that we had it paid. Oct and Nov go without a hitch. Come December the review of the escrow account is before we make the final shortage payment so it already showed in our account online that the payment in Jan will be higher than we want it to be. I know how they got that and as long as I paid the amount still short that payment would be adjusted. My problem was that when I would make the payment in Dec (for Jan) I would be making an incorrect payment based on the newly calculated amount for 2015 that didn't take into account that I would be paying the balance of the shortage.
I couldn't make the payment through my bank account since there was no way to add on the escrow and if I went online to make the payment as I had in Oct and Nov so I could add the escrow, the regular payment would be wrong. So, I called again and they gave me an address to send the escrow payment. After that the correct payment due in Jan would be calculated. I sent the payment online through my bank to the address given. When I checked the site to see if it posted it had posted as a principal payment. The holidays were upon us and I knew that there would be a time crunch in order for everything to get done before my Jan payment was due. I used the message center on the site, which works like a charm and they replied with the fact that they would reverse the payment and apply it to the escrow all dated the original payment date and then they would recalculate the 2015 payment amount. They took care of everything exactly as stated and before the ringing in of the New Year I had made the Jan payment for the correct amount.
Anything can happen anywhere at any time, a computer glitch, a power outage, short on help when everyone is sick, etc. etc. and there will be mistakes but you are never more in control than when you are proactively being in control. Yes things will fall through the cracks since we are all human but when we, the consumer, take the effort to be responsible for ourselves, the issues are far less common. Nationstar can’t babysit us, if we are old enough to sign a contract we certainly should be doing it by reading, asking questions, checking the situation and doing everything to be sure it is what we expect. They made a mistake and they fixed it, which is all I can ask for beyond expecting everything to be perfect and that isn't going to happen any millennium soon. I am still very happy with their company at this point.

First of all my loan was automatically transferred about 5 months ago and it's been crazy ever since. On this particular incident, I called Nationstar customer service line to inform them about my July 2013 payment. I told the young lady that my payment will be late due to my wife lost her job. The young lady stated that if I get my payment in by Aug 1st everything would be fine and my account will stay current and I said fine. Received a call from Nationstar to call this number and put a certain code in so I did that and the message said please make your July 2013 payment by Aug 1st to keep your account current. I made my payment on Aug 1st and Nationstar reported to all 3 credit bureaus that I was 30 days late and my score dropped 76 points.
I called and spoke with a customer service manager and explained my situation and she basically said there's nothing they can do. I've been a homeowner since 2002 and I have never been late on any of my mortgage payments and if I was going to be late I always called and everything would be fine. This mortgage company is not trying to help people keep their homes in my opinion. Well they just lost another customer.

I recently became acquainted with Nationstar while trying to help a friend foreclosed on by this wonderful institution.. She lost her home last week at the Trustee Sale. They have only one objective and that is to foreclose on your property. They find it almost "painful" in posting borrowers mortgage payment. If you somehow manage to get your payment posted at all, they will somehow show it was late and charge you a late fee, or at the very least nail you with the $15.00 pmt acceptance fee. Trying to get a Loan Modification with these folks is almost asking for a Notice of Default to be filed. If you are behind in payments with this lender, I would strongly suggest obtaining legal advice now, so you don't end of like my girlfriend and her children, waiting for the "30 Notice to Vacate" to be posted on the door.
One more thing to ponder, seems a little fishy that BOA sold so many of their loans to these wonderful folks since recent allegations against BOA claims bank employees received kick-backs and bonuses for the number of foreclosures they processed for the month. BOA are the guys who started the ball rolling for my friend when she applied for a Loan Modification. She was current on her mortgage when she was told she had to be 2 mos delinquent to qualify for program. Several months and a couple of trees in paperwork later, they deny her and sell her off to these sharks to finish her off. The thing that truly surprises me is why the BOA employee would give up the "foreclosure bonus" she worked so fraudulently for. Maybe Nationstar will send her some of your $15.00 payment processing checks their screwing borrowers out of, and call it even.

Our mortgage was transferred from BoA in June 2013 and so far, our experience has mirrored many of the other complaints by those who left one and two star ratings. We've received the annoying "courtesy" calls, trying to get detailed information on our account has been a challenge, and frankly, the fact that I have to pay to pay my mortgage (that is not a typo - they charge you to pay your mortgage online while making it difficult to mail in a payment by check) is ridiculous. But the reason I give them a one-star rating and not a two - though I wish no stars was an option - is that their system is constantly down for maintenance, making it nigh on impossible to make payments.

Our story is very much the same as another...Our Bank of America home mortgage was sold to Nationstar in June 2013. I was disappointed that our loan was sold since we bank with BOA and it was easy to make our payments by transferring money from our checking account to our mortgage acct. I ALWAYS made our payments online by the 15th and never had any issues, but the 1st time I tried to make a payment with Nationstar it seemed like they charged a fee for online payments and/or telephone payments.
When I first called them I was told that payments had to be made by the 10th to avoid a fee for making a payment. REALLY????? Never heard of that before. Then the next month they called my husband 2 times on the 7th to let him know that his payment was late and then AGAIN on the 8th to tell him the same thing!!!!! What harassment! When I tried to make our payment online on 8/10/13, their website said there was a $9 fee for making a payment. How is that possible? So I called and spoke to a guy who said after I questioned him that there was a glitch in their system and I could make a payment with him and avoid the fee.
It appears they are trying to make some extra money by charging extra fees here and there. HOW IS THAT OKAY??? If they want our money why do they make it so difficult to pay them? I am not impressed with NS either. My husband suggested we refinance to get away from them, but I don't think a lender should be able to treat customers badly and force us to refinance, force us to record our calls with them as proof of conversation or hire an attorney to protect our interest. Maybe NATIONSTAR should have their mortgages serviced by another company, someone who knows about customer service.
With service like this NOBODY should ever use them for anything!!! Considering all I am reading I will NEVER mail them a check. That would just allow the possibility of the check getting lost and them charging a late fee or hitting you with a 30 day late! You need to cover yourself and not give them an inch. How sad we are treated like this and just have to take it. I would love to hear about some class action suit...someone needs to hold this company accountable for ALL their actions.

Nationstar Mortgage may operate "on this side of the law" but its business model and practices, in my experience, are unethical. For the past 16 months my interaction with at least 20 named Nationstar representatives (with titles such as Loan Counselor, Single Point of Contact, Customer Relations Specialist, Foreclosure Prevention Specialist, etc) and unknown numbers of supervisors, underwriters and telephone representatives have been, with about three notable exceptions, characterized by confusion, cavalier disinterest, lack of knowledge, refusal to assume responsibility, presumption that customers are fools or dishonest, and, dare I say it, incompetence.
After 16 months, I believe Nationstar is purposeful in its dealings, and its purpose is to maximize its profits while minimizing its service, rhetoric to the contrary. I am fortunate. After 16 months of stress and misery, I have a HAMP Tier II loan modification and a correction to my credit rating. The efforts it took to get to this point are appalling, and underscore that Nationstar absolutely does not care (expletive deleted).
To summarize my experiences, in May 2012 I applied for, and received, an in-house 2-year loan modification which I accepted, signed, had notarized, and returned. The mortgage was current at the time of the modification, and was paid, according to the terms of the modification, each month in full and on time from July 2012 onward. However, Nationstar never recorded the modification, then asked that I send the original paperwork again (which I did in July and again in August). Finally, in September, 2012 Nationstar "FOUND" the original paperwork and agreed to honor it (why this was a favor is unclear).
At that time a Nationstar representative suggested that it would be better for me to apply for a permanent modification through HAMP. Since I had an in-house modification (which reduced my interest rate by more than 5%) this seemed a reasonable suggestion.
In October I prepared the HAMP documents, added the documentation submitted in May for the in-house modification, and submitted it to 5 named Nationstar representatives. Now the fun really begins. Months of requests for one more thing, missing documents, lost documents, replacement of outdated documents, etc. followed. Finally, in February, 2013 I was notified that I was ineligible for a HAMP modification, and almost simultaneously, that I had been approved for a HAMP Tier II modification. Since Nationstar knew as a going-in proposition that the modification was on a rental property, this elapsed time and processing is mysterious.
When the HAMP Tier II modification was offered, with a 3-month trial period, I grabbed it. When the 3-month trial ended, I complied with Nationstar's 10-day turnaround deadline to sign and notarize the modification. However, I had serious questions, so attached a covering memorandum requesting clarification -- specifically, given the in-house modification and a year of on-time and in-full payments under that modification and the trial period, why was the new loan principal thousands of dollars more than the original mortgage. That was on June 11.
By June 25 Nationstar had not acknowledged either my memo or receipt of the signed and notarized modification documents. So, I wrote an e-mail, to which I attached the June 11 memorandum and a second memo restating my questions, to three Nationstar representatives. In this case I received both a phone call and a letter, stating Nationstar would answer by July 25. Around July 25 I received a second letter stating Nationstar would answer by August 2. It is now August 9. Surprise, no letter.
Given the history of this situation, in July I finally wrote up the case and submitted a complaint to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB). The CFPB has responded, and has sent the complaint to Nationstar. Nationstar has notified me it will respond to me by August 8. Shall we take odds of when it will be August 8? Under the circumstances, one must consider whether filing complaints with the Better Business Bureau and the Consumer Protection Office within the Office of the Texas Attorney General would have any utility.
Let me also add that Nationstar's handling of this mortgage had serious negative implications for my credit score, and that, following nearly 6 months of pressure from me, during which Nationstar initially did nothing and did not respond, then proposed to "fix" everything after the HAMP modification was completed. Confirmed to the credit bureaus when they investigated (at my behest) that Nationstar negative reporting of delinquent payments was correct, and only after numerous entreaties, modified its reporting. There appeared to be little appreciation of or concern about the damage Nationstar's erroneous reporting did to my general credit worthiness, and thus to my financial situation.
Obtaining a HAMP modification should never have been so difficult. No customer should have to go through what I did, and what, apparently, many others have. Such corporate behavior should be investigated and censured.

My loan was transferred from BofA as of July 2013 so the very first check I sent via mail, it was cashed. Second due date August 1st, I made an automatic scheduled transfer to go through for July 31st. It went into being transferred but then got reversed back into my BofA account. I was checking on Aug 1, where it said it was in process of going through.
I thought everything was fine. Today Aug 8th, I received a call in regards to payment due. That is when I discovered it had been reversed to my BofA account. The message on my answering machine gave a number and a message code. I called and pushed in the code (4 times). Message code did not work and I was then told to call a different number. Before I called this number I tried to make a immediate payment on my Nationstar, my account, they could not receive my payment at this time, and gave an error code 3314.
So now I called the second number and here I spoke to Brenda. Brenda could not explain why my payment had been reversed back to BofA but I could make a payment with her. I proceeded to give her my BofA account number, she then said the transaction fee via phone was $15. I said, "No way, your message code for making a payment via phone did not work, your online payment does not work. The number given in case of error codes was this so I am NOT paying you $15." She then said, "OK I will drop it to $7:50." Again NO WAY.. I am not paying anything to make my payment when your system is NOT working. She said, they will waive the fees this one time.
Well isn't that nice!!! Anyway I have now set up a new payment via BILL PAY via BofA, I am printing every piece of paper and proof of that I am doing my job in being on time. They seem to have a major problem or a "scam" to make the extra fees when they are the ones not having their ducks in a row. I see a big class action lawsuit being filed against this company pretty soon if they do not change their ways.

They have called me up to four times a day on some days, emailed me and send an overnight Fed Ex letter asking me to refinance with them. I told them I was working with another bank to refinance and to please stop asking, they didn't. My new bank requested a verification of mortgage on 6/28. Nationstar says they will send within four business days. On July 8th after they said they cannot accept my personal check and told my bank they needed a cashier's check, a cashier's check was sent on that day.
On July 22nd my bank called them again after not receiving the VOM. Nationstar told them that it was sent on the 17th of July so we should expect it any day. On July 26th, still nothing. At that point I called them and they told me that the bank did not send them the proper request so it was never sent. Of course they had no record of telling the bank it was sent out on 7/17. I requested they send it immediately and they said they would. I also requested they send my personal check back which they refused to accept and I was told they would do so. On 7/29 I called and spoke with a supervisor and asked her to verify the VOM was sent and this supervisor also gave me the address they sent it to which was my bank. She verified it was sent on 7/26 but said they never received my personal check so they would not be sending it back to me. I told her I spoke with a staff member there on 7/26 and she confirmed they had my check and would send it back. She said they had no documentation of my call at all on 7/26.
On 8/1/13 we still received no VOM so I called again and asked that it be faxed to me. I was again assured by the staff member that my VOM was there and prepared. He said he would fax it to me and guaranteed me that I would receive it within 24 hours maximum. Of course on 8/2 no fax had arrived. My bank then called and they said they would fax it to them. They never did. I called at the end of the day on 8/2 and told the staff member that I would remain on the line while he faxes it to me so I would be sure to receive it. He put me on hold for over a half hour and then gave me to a supervisor, someone different than the first supervisor that I spoke with on 7/29. He then proceeded to tell me that they did not actually have my VOM because it was attached to someone else's loan so they could not even send it!
I explained to him all of the requests that were made, the confirmation numbers we were given and a letter I received saying that is was sent in July. He had no comment and just restated that it was not sent and would need to be sent to their research department again. I explained that my rate guarantee had already run out and I was on an extension until 8/8. If I do not have this refinance loan closed by then I will lose my rate and they have all gone up now. I will also lose all of the money for the appraisal, credit check, etc. that I have stuck into this as it is non-refundable. He said there was nothing he could do to put a rush on it and gave me no other assistance.
This place is just a nightmare to work with. You talk with someone different each time. They won't give you their last name or direct line so the next time you call back, you start all over with another person who has yet a different story to tell you. They just keep you in this vicious cycle. I believe they are doing this to prevent me from leaving them as no place could be this incompetent.

I have been a homeowner for 25 years (300 payments). Over that time period, I have never had a late payment, not until my mortgage was sold to Nationstar. Nationstar seems to think I need monthly repeated telephone reminders to pay my mortgage. Thus far, I have made 5 monthly payments. The first 4 were mailed and received within 3-5 days before posting as received, the latest of which posted on the 12th. The last payment made was mailed on the 8th, but according to them, they didn't receive until 11 days later, on the 18th, and charged me a late fee. Somehow, I don't believe my check suddenly took 11 days to arrive when the rest took less than half the time!

I have sought outside help through my State and they have filled out and filed these papers with Nationstar. So they can't say they were never received! I pray that this phase 2 HAMP program will approve us and render some help! We are senior citizens and desperately want to stay in our home, at an affordable rate!

Nationstar (NS) is as bad as Bank of America (BOA) with regards to high fees; our Regions loan officer was shocked at how much they charged. It's no wonder that my BOA mortgage was sold to NS; they seem to have the same level of sleaziness! We called to complain about the very high fees we were simply told that NS are legally allowed to charge these kinds of fees.

My mortgages were also transferred to Nationstar from B of A. I have 1st and 2nd mortgage... both modified through B of A. Told first mortgage was fine. Nationstar DID NOT modify 2nd mortgages and according to B of A, I had not made payment for 8 months (which was not true). Told I had to pay $27,000.00 immediately and that they were starting foreclosure proceedings! Apparently, my paperwork from B of A never made it to Nationstar. I faxed them all my signed modification documents as well as cancelled checks for payments I supposedly never made. Called constantly and always got someone different who had no idea what to tell me.
I actually called Bank of America to find out what the heck happened. They were beyond rude and basically said I was Nationstar's problem, not theirs! Long story short, I called EVERYONE from the AG's office to HUD... with little help. Out of desperation I contacted my US state senator's office and got help from them. Within 24 hours my senator's office had filed a full inquiry in regards to this. Of course now Nationstar execs are calling me promising to correct the issue(s).
I urge EVERYONE with an issue with Nationstar and Bank of America... or any other financial institution to contact your state Senator's office! If more people complain to our elected officials, maybe this can be stopped. I believe once an investigation is launched or an inquiry is made, the state banking commission in which the mortgage companies reside are brought into the investigation. PLEASE contact your state Senator(s) for assistance!

I was with Countrywide and BOA and now Nationboobs. I have not made a house payment in almost two years. I have been waiting for them to foreclose as they have threatened in the at least 50 packages I have received in the mail. I thought BOA was bad, but Nationstar makes them look like winners. On June 6, I received a one-page letter saying some attorney in VA Beach was going to foreclose. Never heard anything else from him. Since then I have received more mod offers, letters saying I notified them I changed my mind on the mod offer, letters saying the mod was declined because I requested that it not be approved, blah, blah, blah. I must have received at least 25 Notices of Intent to Foreclose and mod offers that they waste money sending Certified and in regular mail and by Fed Ex ad nauseum.
Problem is I NEVER contacted them about anything at any time ever. Never requested a mod, never declined a mod, never had any contact at all with them. They just sent the standard roach in the airline food letters, I guess. They are so screwed up. They tried to get me to make trial payments and gave me a deadline. When I missed the deadline, they sent me another package with a new deadline . . . over an over, always scamming for the "trial payments" before they turn you down, trying to suck a little extra money out of you before they foreclose anyway. Homey didn't fall for that trap. I finally got sick of waiting for them to foreclose and bought a little spot in Florida that I am moving to the middle of next month. I turned off the utilities effective my move-out date and thought I would let them know I was vacating and they didn't have to spend money foreclosing.
Today I tried to call them. . . after listening to the robot give the same spiel over and over and trying to dial the extension I was given for my Nationstar Dedicated Loan Specialist Quinetta ** at ext ** and having the call dropped as soon as I was finally allowed to dial it after listening to the endless recording and options, and calling back three times, I finally got through to someone in the wrong department, who stayed on the line and transferred me to the "Bankruptcy" department, Kyesten (not allowed to give her last name) told me that I didn't need to do anything. That the house was in an active foreclosure and that was that. Of course, there will be no record of my conversation with snotty little Kyesten.
I asked why they wouldn't want to know that I was vacating, and that the house will be sitting empty with no electricity. She didn't seem to give a rat's. I've never received a formal foreclosure notice, just the endless intents to foreclose, no sign on the door, notta'. So I don't know if she's full of it, doesn't care or it really is too late to avoid foreclosure -- and I don't care if it is as I already have a discharged bankruptcy from over a year ago that included this $302K house that I've put another $100K into and still needs another $80K to finish it and is now worth $228. I pity the fool that buys it, but I no longer care about Nationstar, the house or any of the rest of it. I've got a big old palm tree in my new front yard down in Florida and I am glad to be rid of the $2200 a month in first and second mortgages for a house that's not really worth anything and won't be in my lifetime. Buh-bye, Nationstar.

I have been a BAC customer for the past 3 years and NEVER had a single late payment or any other type of problem with my mortgage. On 6/4/2013, Nationstar Mortgage purchased my mortgage, and already they have tried to scam me twice! First they tried to charge me a $79 late fee on the very first payment! When I called, the lady told me that the late charge came over from BAC. I pulled up my bank account while I was on the phone with her and informed her that my last payment to BAC had actually been made a day EARLY, not LATE. She then said they would "forgive" the late payment because I was within the 61-day grace period on the loan transfer. Gee...THANKS!!!
Now I have received a letter from Nationstar telling me that my HO insurance policy "has either expired, cancelled, or non-renewed on 6/23/2013". Then they go on to inform me that if a replacement policy is not produced by 8/10/2013, then they will be "forced to obtain coverage to protect our interest in your property." Translation: Nationstar will purchase a HO insurance policy for my home, probably from one of their subsidiary companies, for an inflated rate.
I called my insurance agent and he said that sure enough, BAC did not make the payment on my policy. I checked my Nationstar documents and found that they have $1,340.71 in transferred escrow sitting in their account! No wonder why BAC didn't make the payment...This seems to be a bad omen of things to come... Any class-action lawsuits already filed against this company?

After years of being plagued by scamming correspondence (which I kept all the correspondence and intend to send it all to the Texas Attorney General) and threats of foreclosure on March 26, 2013, BOA and I finally reached an agreement of $1048.34 starting on May 1st, 2013 (Fixed Interest rate of 2%!). Of course the loan goes through a ridiculous 2053 (I would be 93) however, I can deal with it since I plan to sell in a couple years, after improving my credit due to BOA screwing it up!
The pain that I endured (yes, injustice again) when I tried to be proactive and honest was unbearable and I was constantly frothed with fear that I was going to get cancer again from all the stress.

Where do I even start? Well, in October 2012, we had fallen 3 months behind on our mortgage. I had contacted a company to help me with a loan modification and it was okay'd through Nationstar mortgage. I had to pay these people 900.00 for 3 months to show Nationstar that I could make the payments. Well, the 6 months was up and lo and behold, I found out from family members that my home was in the newspaper for foreclosure.
I tried contacting National Legal Assistance and come to find out the numbers that I had been given were no longer in service. When I contacted NationStar to let them know that my husband and I were involved in a scam, there was nothing that they could do for us. They however did tell me to put in for a loan modification, but nothing was ever sent back to me and the foreclosure process was well on its way. In Michigan, we have what is known as the step forward or hardest hit program. This program helps homeowners become current on their mortgage. I had 3 weeks before my sheriff sale and the Friday prior to the sale, Nationstar still had not given this program what they needed as far as my amount. It is now July 30th and I am now just being told that as of July 26th, our prayers have been answered and we were approved for the grant and they wanted to go through my payment dates.
Here is the worst thing: the home was already sold back to Nationstar mortgage for 15,000 less than what we owe. My complaint is where is anyone to help victims if they can prove they were scammed, and why couldn't Nationstar push out the sale of our home? The biggest thing is they sent this information to the government without a sale date, indicating to these people that we still had a mortgage. I am now in my redemption period and not at all pleased that there is no one you can turn to help track down the scammers or get any kind of help from these mortgage companies....

Thank God I got out when I did. My mortgage was sold to Nationstar in 2009. My mortgage, for some reason, shot up to an astronomical amount that I could not pay. After trying to negotiate, it became apparent that was not going to happen. When I was served with foreclosure papers, I decided to fight back and had my attorney call them and put them on speaker phone. They were surprised I had done this, but he held his ground. Later they called me at home and asked what I wanted. I told them they could have the house back and I wanted to participate in their deed/lieu program, and they agreed. I also had a second mortgage with the city and they agreed to call them and see if they would take a smaller payment and close out the second mortgage.
To my surprise they did, and Nationstar gave them half of the money from the program. I was in touch with my rep every step of the way and she made herself available. I moved out in the time frame, cleaned up the house, and emailed her with pictures of the empty house showing nothing was damaged and it was in the original condition. The next day, I got a check at my new house from them through FedEx. And true to her word, it is not showing on my credit report to this day. I am so glad I gave up the house four years ago because reading these complaints made me think I got the only reputable agent that worked there.

My mortgage was sold to Nationstar by Bank of America as of 5/1/13. While I did have some trouble with Bank of A, I kept on them with phone calls and documentation, resulting in a loan modification. Subsequently, medical expenses caused me to fall behind, so I applied for forbearance (Bank of A would take the arrearage and put it on the end of the loan, so I wasn't trying to get out of paying). When I moved to Nationstar, I called for instructions based on my situation. I spoke with a man who reviewed what docs were needed and what fax # to use. He assured me that the fax # would get my info directly to him.
I faxed a packet on 5/24/13. Following that, I received multiple letters, informing me each time of a different Special Point of Contact (SPOC). When I called these people and left messages, they were never returned, so I ended up calling almost daily and talking to whatever rep answered. I documented each name and time of call. I was repeatedly given conflicting answers as to the status of my file, since I was told it was in underwriting then I was told that they sent it back.
Finally, I got someone who told me my initial SPOC did not enter my information until 6/6/13 despite having it on 5/24. I was anxious, as an auction had been scheduled and my request to expedite my file was denied. I was also informed that my file kept getting sent back because they needed my "year-to-date profit and loss for my fram (sic) business". A rep and I figured out that they must have meant "farm", which was of little consolation, since I have never had any connection with a farm. They had me write a special letter, assuring them that there was no farm (my tax returns reflect a single income source and are quite straight-forward).
Then, one rep blamed me for putting too much info into the letter and speculated that the underwriters probably "didn't read the whole thing"! Ultimately, I was assured that I was under review and to call back in a couple days (which was the date of the auction). When I told the rep that, he replied, "We're not worried about the auction. The underwriters can postpone it. They do it all the time." Well, I called the following day and got a rep who told me that within that last half hour, my file was denied because it was too close to the auction! Luckily, I was able to obtain an injunction from the Court to postpone the sale.
Nationstar has actively engaged in unethical, improper, and untrue practices in order to "run down the clock" until foreclosure. They don't care about honest reviews of circumstances. I am a hard-working person with an 828 sq ft condo that I am trying to keep. I'm not asking for special treatment, but the HAMP program should be implemented appropriately by lenders. Those of us with modest homes are the ones that HAMP was designed to help.
Nationstar is a shameful greedy company whose primary goal is to make money on every loan they buy. Obviously, I am not saying that they shouldn't make a profit, but they are obligated to review each case in good faith. My circumstances are perfect for simply allowing me to stay in my home and still be responsible for the entire loan amount. Nationstar DOES NOT reach out to people, so I recommend calling them daily, if you have to and document everything!

In October of 2012, BOA sold our mortgage to Nationstar. We did not receive notice from Nationstar until mid-January. In the meantime we paid our Mortgage to BOA and they would forward it to Nationstar. So they told me. In December of 2012, they refused to accept payment, told me to call this certain number and pay it that way. Now at that time we did not even know who THEY were. I called the number they gave me. The person at the other end said, "Oh I'm sorry; you'll have to wait for the papers on this."
In Mid-January we received a notice from Nationstar stating we owed them X amount of monies. They had brought up our Mortgage payments by thirty something dollars. I asked why since taxes hadn't gone up or home insurance either. Nothing had gone up. The person replied, "Well now this is your new amount." No explanation, nothing. They also stated that since they hadn't received full payment from BOA in December that we were now 1 month behind. They had received $45.00, from BOA. He also suggested that we begin paying bi-monthly to catch up. In January, I sent 1 payment of $600.00. Then next one was remainder by the end of January.
My contract was until the end of January with BOA in the amount of our regular mortgage. Because of his suggestion of paying bi-monthly, I began paying that way including the amount of their hike. Everything was going well until one day a man from Nationstar called me and said, "You will never catch up this way." Which I would have by making double mortgage payments in one month. Which would have been in JUNE. He asked my age, whether I was retired or not, etc. Then he said, "OMG you qualify for a Loan Re-Modification. Let's get the ball rolling here." Worse mistake I ever made in my life.
He sent me a package with all the required papers. I got all the documents together and faxed them to him personally. His fax #. I asked for a Mortgage Statement every month so I could mail my payments in. I forgot to state this earlier in my note. You would laugh at what they sent me. Sheets of paper copied with 4 payment coupons on them which I have to cut with scissors every month. No envelopes, nothing. Just copied amount of Mortgage and that's it. I could have done a better job copying them on my home printer. If you call in a payment, they overcharge you to do this. Either $15.00 or $25.00. Since my Mortgage had gone up I would not do this.

I have sent them 6 packages with all the information they've asked for at my cost. My Bank got aggravated as well as I and offered to send them the Documents through their system. I just received another letter from them asking for more Documents, the same ones I have sent numerous times. Last week I called for a status report on my loan. The man replied, "It's at the underwriters being reviewed." If it's being reviewed why send me another letter to ask me for the same thing again and again.
The Government needs to be made aware of being played for fools by this Company. After all the Loan Re-Modification is by the Government, a program they have put together to help people. I called again today to find out my status as the man told me to do last week. I was put on hold then hung up on. Something is sure smelling in Denmark. Such as a SCAM. Why isn't anyone doing anything about these SCAM ARTISTS? Using the Government program to hide behind. An Attorney contacted me concerning this issue. We will be working on shutting this so-called Mortgage Company down.
Oh now, I am still 1 month behind, pinned against a wall making Mortgage Payments twice a month. Nationstar sent me a bill stating that I now owe them $4000.00 something dollars. Does anyone get this? I believe my rights have been stepped on, therefore I will fight back with everything I have. They will not win this battle. They do this to Foreclose on homes. Let them try this with me. If they've never met a Devil they sure will now. This is from far a threat; it is a promise. I have every receipt and so does my Bank. If I need to record our conversations, I will do that also. Just like they record ours. Or so they claim. I believe nothing that comes out of their mouths. I have never dealt with such a crooked company as this one. NATIONSTAR MORTGAGE? HUM HUM

Like everyone else on here... I started the Deed in Lieu process. Not a peep from Nationstar. This past weekend I received a packet of documents to fill out. It was the same packet of documents I filled out a month previous. At this juncture the house will probably go into foreclosure since the Deed in Lieu "Specialist" Sarah ** has completely blown me off. Seems to me that a class action suit is brewing, and I'd be elated to be a part of it. Nationstar is ruining a lot of people's lives and needs to be confronted.

My loan was transferred from BoA - last payment to them was June of 2013. I just received my "Welcome!

No statement. I live in an $80,000 house; I do not have $11,000. And of course, there is no one working at this time, so I cannot even call to ask what's going on. However, I do work for an attorney, so guess what I'll be discussing with him on Monday? Not happy, already! Welcome to Nationstar? Yeah, right.

I agree with so many reviews on here - how can this company still be in business?!? My loan was just transferred to NS from BOA a little over a month ago, and I have had nothing but headaches ever since. I had a single point of contact, but never heard back from them when I called. THEN, I saw online that they were replaced with someone else. No problem, right? After I saw the update, I emailed this new person to find out more information about a loan modification. I submitted forms online, then had to resubmit them via email. I was told I was still missing documents, but when I asked for the forms they still needed (after I know I sent everything), I didn't get a response. I asked again a few days later, and was told "its ok just get it to me as soon as you can". Seriously? That's a professional answer? I said I would love to get them the paperwork as soon as I can, but I still needed WHAT WAS MISSING.
Three messages later, still no response. There was also no response to my asking to receive their supervisor's information. I did get a letter in the mail though - it was dated two weeks before I received it and gave me my single point of contact - you know, the person who was no longer mine, lol. To top this off they call about a payment I made to BOA at the beginning of June saying I still owe it.....every time I go online my address isn't correct.....they charge a fee to pay over the phone or online so I mailed in my last check. I finally received my welcome packet with account information 3 weeks after they took over my loan. The list goes on and on. It said at the top of this page that NS isn't part of this message board and will not respond to customer complaints. Of course not. They would need a small staff just to handle that task alone!
I agree in regards to a lawsuit. Thankfully, for my situation at hand, I already have a lawyer lined up in case I need to take them to court. I refuse to succumb to the runaround and shady practices of this company. I actually had hope when they first took it over after BOA didn't seem to care, but now I would take BOA back in a heart beat. If my fiance wasn't out of work and we could afford to refinance this loan on our own, I would go for it. Unfortunately, we need help with our payments as is it.
Why is it that when you try and do the right thing, ask for help, put your house on the market to try that avenue, WANT to pay a fair amount and do what would be for the greater good of all involved, it doesn't matter? Is this what I have to look forward to? From what I see of other reviewers' stories, will NS just be able to take my house and ruin my life? I am not late in my payments, nor have I ever been, but the time is at hand and I fear for my future. This is what NS has done to me - they have made me afraid where once I was optimistic.

I made an on-line mortgage payment (June 22, 2013) and put the amount of my payment (which included extra dollars) in the line that said other amount, thinking it was the place to put a different total than the regular payment. In actuality it added that amount to the payment. When I received the confirmation email I realized my mistake and tried to correct it. There was not a way to correct it online, but a window popped up stating if you need to change or cancel this payment, to call customer service. I called customer service one hour after it opened and the agent said he could not change it due to it hadn't posted yet. I was not able to change anything as the window on their website stated.
The funds were removed Sunday evening (June 23rd, 2013) causing my account to go into major default between the overdraft charges from outstanding checks as well as 6.99 a day until that money was returned or funds were able to cover this amount. Remember it was more than twice the payment amount that was deducted. When I started my journey to refund the overpayment on Monday June 24th, 2013 with customer service, the games began. I sent in the information they asked for on Monday the 24th by fax (per customer service supervisor) and was told she would try to expedite the overpayment. Thursday the 27th of June, I called to follow up and lo and behold, I needed another piece of information which I immediately faxed to them and called to see if they received it. They did receive it. Followed up on Friday and found out it was never processed and was told they will start that day.
I followed up on July 5th when 5-7 days as promised, was up. The customer service rep informed me it was never processed and applied to principal. I was then promised after much rudeness, it would be handled. I called July 12th and after a wonderful service rep finally answered my call said it was coded incorrectly and put me in touch with main office. I was apologized to and promised it would be in my account by Tuesday, July 16th. Not in my account, and when I called again the fight began again. They were arguing to apply it to July payment and paying fees from the past and anything to prevent returning it. 3 and a half weeks later, no money!!! They are scam artists. DO NOT DEAL WITH THESE PEOPLE!!!!!
I tried to take advantage 3 years ago of the Making Home Affordable Program and was told every time I sent the requested information in, they always needed more and repeats of the same information until the time was up from the onset of the application to the time it expired. They never intended to make this application good by the deceitful way they handle everything they do with my attempts to apply for this. My account and late payments that were applied to other bills I was not able to pay because they would not return my money is up to 310.00.

Where do I begin?? Suntrust sold our first mortgage to Nationstar AFTER we filed for bankruptcy. After the discharge, we began getting phone calls. Then the week of Thanksgiving got served foreclosure papers. Keep in mind this is all over the deed, bankruptcy discharged. We were anxious to get this part of our life behind us. Wrong! After two years and THREE attempts at the deed in lieu, we finally started getting somewhere, so we thought. We had to hound Suntrust to settle with Nationstar on the second mortgage before anything could happen. Finally got that under the belt.
Next we called and called and called, like a lot of others, different people all the time. I kept asking what the hold up was over the deed, they told me it was the electronic filing Suntrust did. I stated it was filed through the courthouse and if it was good enough to file, then it was good enough for the courts. Then they finally agreed and I have not been able to talk to anyone since. Feb of this year was two years since my discharge. And now I am told the laws have been changed about acquiring another mortgage. Three years after they take possession of the deed.

I started calling them for update status and every time, spoke with someone different. Then their games started as they started asking for documents that had previously been submitted. Every time I would call, they would need more documents that I had previously submitted. I finally started recording these conversations and advising them that they were being recorded. Finally, I got them to admit twice, that they had received all of the necessary documents. Then the emails and letters to me started, requesting documents that had previously been submitted.
No matter how many times they requested the documents, I would oblige them sometimes faxing up to 34 pages of documents with a cover letter informing them of the dates the documents were previously submitted to them. I would fax them to a fax number they sent to me in one of their letters but when another request for the documents would come, I would call and they would say to fax them to a different number. Nationstar assigned us a "POC" point of contact but we could never reach him to speak with him. I really don't think he existed. Nationstar is not trying to work with homeowners who have stellar credit and have never been late with a payment.

He started with my expenses, when I said I did not have all the information handy, he stated "you don't know what your bills are?" with a very nasty attitude.

I asked why they did not call me so I could get it to them, I was told that I must keep calling on a regular basis they would NOT call me.
The modification went through, but I had recurrent cancer and surgery and was again on disability and again called Nation Star to seek some help and was told there was nothing they could do. So to keep my home I pulled what little money I had in my 401-K to pay my mortgage. In December 2012 I stopped making payments. I was called by this ** company day and night.

I received notification that my loan was bought by Nationstar from Bank of America on the evening of July 1, which happened to be the day I was trying to receive the payoff amount from Bank of America to pay off the loan. Unfortunately, the loan was transferred and it was too late. I immediately called Nationstar and was told they couldn't even speak with me for seven days, even though I wanted to pay my loan off. They assured me that once the seven days were up, I would be able to get the pay off amount and pay the loan off over the phone.
I waited and called on Monday, July 8th. They could not give me the pay off amount, even though I wanted to pay off the loan that very morning via check or debit card over the phone. They refused to tell me the pay off amount and said they had to 'send' it to me. I asked what methods they could do this, and they said mail or fax. I said, "Okay, please fax it to me." I was getting upset they were charging me interest this whole time on a loan that I was trying to pay off but couldn't. I thought that I would save a little interest by having it faxed to save a few days' transit time. Nothing was mentioned AT ALL about any fees.
Twenty-four hours later, I received the pay off via fax, with a $24 fee to pay the loan off and a $25 fee because they faxed it to me. I called to have the fees removed because they were not told to me, but I was told they couldn't remove the fees. I tried to pay the loan off over the phone but they refused to take any payment over the phone and said I had to send a cashier's check. (Keep in mind they have no reason not to accept any payment from me; this is just apparently their policy). I told the customer service rep that I cannot pay a fee that wasn't warned to me, but was refused for it to be waived again.
I asked, "What would you have charged me if I had let you mail it to me rather than faxing it to my TOLL FREE fax line?" After being put on hold a few minutes, I was told I would have been charged $7. I said, "Okay, fine, charge me $7 because that is what I would have chosen if the fee was advised to me." The ONLY benefit to having it faxed is to save a few days of interest. The interest on this loan is $0.44 a day, so obviously, I would not have paid $18 extra to save $0.88.
I told the lady I need to speak with somebody else. She put me on hold forever and then told me she can't get anybody else. I told her I would hold until she can find somebody. She put me on hold again for awhile, then said, "I can't get anybody available so I will submit this request to a supervisor for you." I told her thanks, went to the bank for a cashier's check like they said I had to, and put it in the mail to them. Three days later now, I received an email from them denying any of the fees to be waived, with no further explanation.
These people are just out to get your money and are looking for ways to trap you into paying for things that you shouldn't have to.

I have an agent and looked at a foreclosure property. It is in the neighborhood I have been wanting to move into, and I have a little one ready to start kindergarten in the fall, so timing is important. We were set to make an offer, and I already had financing lined up through my own bank (not Nationstar). All set, right?
No. Nationstar won't even accept an initial offer unless you apply for financing with them. You literally cannot put an offer on a home unless you allow them to run your credit. Better yet, their application asks what your price max is, as well as your loan limit. So, you basically have to lay all your cards on the table to the SELLER of the home at the same time you are trying to put an offer in. To me, this is a conflict, but I played along because the house was just right for my family.
I put in a very fair initial offer, only $5,000 below their list. They countered $1,000 below their list. I AGREED to pay this price! The next day, Nationstar put the house up for auction and their listing agent told me, "Nationstar did not put anything in writing yet, so they just decided to do something different and not sell the house to you."
Seriously, shady business practices. First, they ran my credit for no reason, so I know I will have to explain that to my bank when I do find another house. Second, they tied me up for two weeks in a bidding process, while other homes listed went under contract; maybe I could have gotten into one of those, but now they are gone. Third, they put my family through an emotional process of being excited that we found the right home (we showed our little boys where they'd be going to elementary school, etc.), only to pull the rug out from under us. For what?! Lastly, the interest rates are rising; the time they wasted could cost me on a different property.
Worst of all, after kissing my butt on the phone and returning EVERY call in the "intake of credit app" process, now that I am calling to ask for a better explanation, no one picks up their phone. I qualified for credit through Nationstar and four other banks. I am not a risk for a mortgage. AND, their mortgage guy told me that IF they accepted my offer, they would only give me closing help if I financed through them. With all the complaints I see online about their mortgage services, what a joke that is. We are not even entering into the auction. Although we have enough cash to most likely win, I feel like I would be doing a deal with the devil. Nationstar is a disgusting, shameless, and corrupt company.

The issue was that we could now afford the payments, but they tacked on the late fees and demanded them upfront which we could not do. So we have been working on paying them off as fast as we can. We have never been 90 days late, but they decided to move us over to foreclosure status anyway. So now they are demanding all late fees and payments in one lump sum or they are going to foreclose. They are not willing to work out any type of payment plan.
I went over all my financials proving that we can afford the payments now, but they said all that did was confirm that after we pay the money due, which is two months mortgage plus late fees that they will let us roll our July and August payment together. So Kind! We have been trying to make our monthly payments but now they send them back stating that they will only accept all money due. They are not even thinking it through. Add all the attorney fees, on top of the mortgage and the home will definitely lose money in a foreclosure sale so they will just write off the loss. They then said that they had been trying to get in touch with me, which is not true, as I have phone records showing that I have not received any calls from then until just recently when they moved me into a foreclosure status. There is no written correspondence either. I could go on and on but this company is a scam.

I have had the same problems as many of the people posting within your blogs. I have been told by Nationstar Mortgage that my loan modification would only take 2 weeks back in January. By March, still nothing was completed and even though I had sent everything in as I was asked, I felt I was given the runaround. THEN, I took up a loan with my local bank to catch up, so they, of course, asked for more paperwork. I was fed up! I was too busy, looking for a new job and getting help otherwise, that with trying to contact a new agent for my account (3-4 within one month), it was getting ridiculous! I'm about ready to just give up and move on! How is any of this legal???

I was having difficulty leasing my rental property which was worth $30,000 less than I owed and was starting the short sale process with BofA last April. In the middle of the proceedings, I was notified in writing that my loan was sold to Nationstar effective immediately. I had to start the process all over again with Nationstar which took about 7 months, faxing the same documentation several times. Meanwhile, the collections department was calling me several times nightly. The first few times I explained that I was in the process of a short sale, but the deluge of calls continued, so I stopped answering the phone.
After the second month of working with them on the short sale, I received a certified letter that they were starting foreclosure proceedings. Thank God for my realtor who stepped in and worked with them on my behalf. It was a nightmare of misinformation since none of their departments seem to communicate or document anything. I was lucky and got it resolved in 7 months. That was in October 2012. Now I am getting collection calls from a third party telling me that Nationstar has transferred the debt to them and that I need to call them back to make payment arrangements. I tried to call back once to let them know the house had been sold, but it would not let me through without giving them my social security number. Yeah, that's not happening.

I lost my business back in 2009. At that time we were with BOA. Between my wife's income and my unemployment, we never fell behind on our mortgage. In 2010, BOA sold the loan to Nation Star. In and out of work for the next 2 years, it was not until August 2012 that I missed my first payment. We were in a real financial bind now and needed all the help we could get. Since then, we have been trying to do a loan modification, and as many people put on here, we keep getting letters saying they need more paperwork. We keep sending everything they ask for and nothing happens. Now we just got a letter saying that in 17 days the house will go to auction.
We have also received about 10 letters changing who our contact person is. Yep, every time we call that new person, we get a voicemail and no return phone call. We have been trying to set up a Deed in Lieu of and a short sale for months, and no one is working to get it done. Our real estate person is working hard to get through to them and they just don't answer. I believe this is a complete scam by this company and they never really intend to work with people who are in trouble. They just want the property and build up as many fees as they can in the meantime. They are ruining people's lives. There needs to be a big civil suit filed. I am sure many will join in.

I cannot believe this company has not been in the news for their completely unethical and criminal activities. My family and I did absolutely everything that was asked by them, but then they stole our home right out from under us. On top of that, we recently received threatening phone calls from this company demanding $270,000 to be repaid because they were short at the auction. We had a cash buyer for them and they turned it down. This is completely documented in emails to this company. Our story is long, horrible and has ruined my life forever. I am now considered a scumbag in a community that I helped out and volunteered for 15 years. My children have suffered. I have no home, no way to even buy a new car - NOTHING. This experience has had the worst emotional toll on my family, even my children.
At the start, we went 90 days late, like they told us we had too in order to renegotiate our mortgage. We sent them every piece of documentation that we had and then they just stopped calling us back or returning emails for almost 1 1/2 years. I had no idea what was even going on. We tried to do a deed in lieu and went through the entire process like they asked. Nationstar refused to return our calls until it was too late. They completely stopped talking to us. We even found a CASH buyer for the house before the foreclosure and they REFUSED to consider it. I realize now it is because they already had a plan and probably had a buyer. My entire life is ruined because they did not follow through on their end of the deal. We went through the re-modification processes with them 3 times to get it right. Of course, it got worse with every interaction.
When my mortgage payment went from $2,200 per month to $7,600+ (absolutely documented), that is when I realized we were losing our home that we paid for close to a decade and that there was nothing I could do then. A home that we upgraded and cared for deeply, completely taken away. EVERYONE thinks that I am a scumbag and the truth is that I am completely depressed and starting to feel like they are right. I know there will be people who will think that I brought this upon myself and in a way I did because I should have never listened to them when they said we had to go late. I know some people will not believe it, but it's absolutely true. The final straw of this nightmare was the call last week, demanding that we repay $270,000 because they came up short at the auction. We had a cash buyer for this home so why were they allowed to go short at the auction?
When we asked for the NOTE or proof that they actually had the mortgage, they refused or ignored our calls. I cannot believe this is what my life has become after working so hard. Why are they allowed to get away with this nightmare? Why? So many other people have complained but this company keeps getting away with grand theft and no one stops them. I hope this helps someone else that they are not alone in their grief. I say grief because that is how I feel and I know that is how others feel too. It is not every mortgage company, but this one is special. If you are buying a home, do not use this company. No matter what they say. Go with a real bank, any bank besides this one...

My husband's mortgage was sold to Nationstar. He had been working and got laid off. I got pregnant and had our two children. During that time, we had fallen behind on our payments. Towards the end of 2012, we were a couple months behind. We made extra payments in January to try and pay up. Eventually, I contacted them to set up a repayment plan. We agreed on a monthly payment. I set it up for a direct pay out of my checking account. We paid the amount. In February, they explained that there had been some miscalculation and I need to pay a different amount. That was fine, and we started a new repayment plan with a higher amount to be paid for four months. We paid the amount agreed and thought we were on track. After we finished all scheduled payments for the plan, they informed me that I was still a month behind. Their reason was that there was an added fee for something and that fee was now added to my monthly payment, and my payment amount had changed sometime during the repayment plan.
So after six months of paying exactly what they said I owed, exactly when they said to pay, I am still behind. Now to resolve the issue, I still have to pay twice what the payment should be. I just have absolutely no way to come up with more money. The lady I spoke to said that everyone in that company I had talked to in those six months had all lied to me. They had all miscalculated the amounts and they had all just told me what I want to hear, just to get me off the phone. She, on the other hand, could not agree with me just to make me happy. And she agreed that NO, IT WAS NOT FAIR, but that in the end, there was nothing to be done to resolve it except for me to pay the extra money to bring my account current. How is that a company’s personnel can tell you that you owe them a specific amount, you pay the amount as agreed, and then tell you that you still owe money because their people miscalculated. Still no resolution.

My mortgage was sold to Nationstar shortly after I refinanced my home. Unfortunately, I was laid off of work and fell behind in my payments by a few months, but I contacted Nationstar and told them the situation and made an arrangement to send them all the back payments from my severance package. Nationstar even gave me the amount I needed to pay. I sent the money as agreed upon and Nationstar contacts me and says that they never received my payment. I contact the bank and my payment was indeed cashed. Nationstar still denied that they received my payment.
This went on for several weeks and then I was told that yes, they did receive my payment and cashed it; however, it was being held in another account because they would not apply any payments due to some fee they said I owed. I asked what the fee was and they informed me that they would have to write the attorney and ask him. Needless to say, I got nothing but the run around. Every month, I sent in my payment and every month, they held it in a special account. During this time, they were also adding late fee after late fee and threatening foreclosure.
About 6 months in, I received a check from Nationstar for all of my payments attached to a letter stating that I owed them money. Hello? You are returning my money. I have hired an attorney and Nationstar even refuses to work with him. The attorney is now saying I have no other choice but to fight them in court, which is going to cost me even more money. I am close to $70,000 upside down in my home. I don't want to lose my house, but don't know how much I can afford to spend fighting them. I agree that a class action lawsuit needs to be filed against this company. They are in the business of TAKING homes, not helping homeowners.

I’m 75 and since this problem with Nationstar started, I have been in the hospital with heart problems and at this time, I cannot return to work. I purchased my home after living in the same house for 29 years and paying for someone else’s mortgage. I had put aside some savings and I was still working. But my employer closed the doors because they could pull out of a Chapter 13. Until I became ill, I was seeking other employment of any kind. I cut my expenses and combined services for lower payments, cut items that I could do without. I filed for HAMP modification, which says they would have to lower my payments not more than 31% of my gross social security check each month. That would mean I could still stay in my home.
VA is a NON-JUDICIAL state that cannot insure that the mortgage company has the authority to foreclose. Well, my home was sold at a public sale this morning. Being alone is no fun and at this point, I have no one or any place to go. I talked to Nationstar last night and asked that they wait until I received word on the HAMP modification that I applied for.

I am a real estate agent in the Los Angeles county. My client had made an offer on this home that was currently a bank-approved short sale. We were told there were currently 15 offers on the table - make your highest and best offer. We did. My client bid $51k over the asking price - all cash, no contingencies, and a seven day close. This was on Feb. 15. A few months went by and they asked for a credit check on my client, and a few more documents. This is an ALL CASH offer??? We complied.
June 1 finally comes and the listing agent tells me that the bank feels they can get more. The house is going to ACTION.com. The house will be held open for two days. My client was VERY upset. We thought we had a solid offer. The Action is open for three days and the bid was set at $200k. Later I was told that the appraisal from the bank came in at $389K... The original list price on the house was $399K. My client again bid $51k over asking. The auction closed after three days with a selling price of $452,500.00. The only person to gain in this fiasco was the auction house. Their 5% commission ($22,500) has to be paid by the winning bidder. The bank gained only $2,500. REALLY???
What I would like is an explanation of why the bank put my client and myself through 4 months of waiting, only to accept another cash offer for percent more than the offered price. This could have been sold by the end of February 2013 if they had gone with my client's offer. What the bank did in this case seems to enforce the stereotype of banks as greedy and heartless, not thinking about the damage they cause as people try earn a living.

I had decided to make my monthly payments in two equal installments. I had read that if you paid that way, you would save money on interest and pay off your mortgage sooner. I started doing that in March 2013. In April, I received a call from the collections department indicating I was late for my payment. I explained that I had made two equal payments (of exactly 1/2 my regular pay) and I was NOT late. After a one-hour conversation to fix this, the gentleman indicated that the problem was caused because their systems don't know what to do with payments when they are not payments in full, so they apply the entire payment to principal which does not count as your mortgage payment. He said he reversed the payments to principal and applied correctly and that everything was fine now.
I asked if I would be reported to the credit bureau and he said no. In the meantime, I had already paid 1/2 of my April payment, so I had no choice but to make the second installment. I got a second call from collections saying I hadn't made my March payment. I again explained everything and the woman said they had no record of one of the 1/2 payments. I sent her a confirmation number from my web banking. She said if I did that everything would be straightened out and no report to credit bureaus. Again, a one-hour conversation and a waste of time because I got a third call a week or so later telling me I was two months behind on my mortgage, a one-hour conversation and I asked to speak to the supervisor. I didn't get to a supervisor but I was told that he was aware of the situation and would expedite the correction.
Then I got notification from Experian that they had sent a notice to the credit bureaus saying I was late on my mortgage. It caused my credit score to go down dramatically. I sent a fax to the research department where I had sent the prior confirmation, and I sent a spreadsheet of all of the payments I had made since January and all of the bank confirmation numbers along with a letter saying this needed to be corrected immediately and a notice needed to go to the credit bureaus correcting the prior notice. A few days later, I got another call from collections. Now, I review my account and the company has reversed every payment I have made since March and never re-credited them so my principal balance did not change despite making four full payments. This is still not settled!

My husband and I decided to go through with the signing since we were told earlier that we could lose our locked in rate. That was the end of January. We have made many, many phone calls with few responses.
We finally got an agreement from our Mortgage Professional, Mr. **, who said his boss agreed to a $1,500 credit. The credit never came. We sent a letter to the President, Mr. Harold Lewis, Jr., to complain and received a response from Bree (sp?) who promised they would resolve this in one month. June 18th was the deadline. I have called her three times, leaving three voicemails but no response. Our initial loan should have been $1,500 less than it was. Consequently, this loan will require we pay $1,500 plus compounded interest. I have never dealt with a company that was mostly unresponsive and when they did respond, just gave us the runaround.

Horrible company with useless employees!

I am writing to my fellow consumers to express the outrage of Nationstar's handling of the recent $10.4 billion dollar acquisition of housing debts from BOA. I am going to write a letter to the Secretary of State to inform the said representative of the following:
Nationstar has increased fees for services to my mortgage, of which I did not agree or consent to in any form; furthermore, these services leave no option for cancellation or removal. Nationstar became the debt collector for my mortgage and added Insurance + Property Tax + Escrow Fees. If you notice, it is illegal for Nationstar to increase the principal of my house, since this is federally-owned and regulated. Instead, Nationstar made this move for a mass acquisition from BOA in order for them to charge customers excessive amounts in various "fees and services" that they are "uniquely" providing. This is unacceptable. It is bleeding Americans of their money so that they can use the additional cash capital for investments to their company, at their own discretion.
I wanted to keep my personal feelings separate, but since this is a consumer affairs review, I will let you all know. I spent multiple hours calling Nationstar, particularly dealing with their escrow department. On 6/13/13, I spoke with a representative named Jason **. I calmly asked why the escrow fee was charged and why the rates would be increasing over the next few months. After talking for a while, he simply said he did not know. At this point, I asked him to remove the insurance and property taxes so that I may pay for it myself. He obliged and submitted a "Request." I called yesterday, and spoke with a woman named Stacy who apologized for having no updates, but reassured me that if I called during 8AM-5PM CST, I could speak directly with a supervisor.
I called again today, 6/28/13, and spoke with a representative named Quentin. Quentin refused to let me talk to a supervisor. Not only that, when I asked how my application was thus far, his response was, "What application? Did you physically fill out an application with us?" This was said in an extremely condescending tone. I told him, "The request that was put in for escrow removal." He then told me, "Sir, once the escrow process has started, Nationstar will not remove it. The department just doesn't do that." So when I asked him if the request was, therefore, wasting my time, he said, "Sir, those are your words, not mine." At this point, I thanked him and asked to speak with a supervisor. Quentin, not only denied this request, but he denied it 20 times. He said I could not speak with a supervisor for any reason that he deemed inappropriate. I said, "I just wanted to make a comment to the supervisor." Eventually Quentin put me on hold. He came back 5 minutes later, picked up the phone and told me, "Sorry there is no one available. Thank you for calling Nationstar," and promptly hung up on me. Keep in mind that this was now 9:30 AM. I had been on the phone with their automated service since 8 AM.
I strongly advise anyone who has been a victim of this company's questionable tactics to inform your local representatives. That's what our tax money is for. We need a way to get out of this. As it is now, it is a completely unjust situation and is bleeding America from its core.

They are ** worthless as a loan agency. I have been calling since Tuesday trying to get a loan payoff amount so I can sell my home today. And after 5 phone calls, countless promises, my manager is busy, etc., etc., they still haven't sent anything to me and I sell my home in less than 4 hours. I've never missed a payment but as soon as you try to close out an account, they give you a runaround. The last manager I spoke to, David, stated the same ** the rest of their staff did but if there is a 48-hour turnaround (keep in mind the first and second requests were made on Tuesday), then why haven't I received anything? How ** difficult is it to send a fax of a loan payoff amount? DO NOT EVER USE THIS COMPANY - THEY ARE WORTHLESS...

My mortgage was transferred from BOA 4 months ago. With BOA I was able to see my full history, which up until the transfer was accurate. When my mortgage transferred, I lost access to the BOA website and I am pretty confident my initial balance during the transfer is higher. I contacted BOA requesting a full history and was told to contact Nationstar. I've made several requests for a full history from Nationstar. The first request came only showing my 1 payment to Nationstar. My follow up requests have not been met. With no response, I suspect they are hiding something. I would recommend anyone in the same situation to request a full history. My next step is to file a complaint with the Attorney General’s Office.

I received my notice from BOA mid-May 2013 that our loan was being transferred to Nationstar. I didn't receive my welcome letter from Nationstar until the second week of June with the info on how to make payments. Therefore, I was charged a fee to make an online payment which I sometimes incurred from BOA anyway if I paid after the 1st but before the 17th. Our welcome letter included all information needed including the new account number and it took me minutes to set up my account and save my bank account information. I made the payment the day I got the letter and it came out of my account 3 days later (longer than normal).
I keep seeing complaints about fees being charged to make an online payment but if you make your payment when it's due, those fees aren't applied. I also see complaints about not being able to make partial payments with Nationstar but my letter clearly states they are allowed as long as the remainder of the payment is made before it becomes delinquent (the 17th)... It is also explained on the site. I'm wondering if many of these complaints come from people who don't make their payments online and maybe aren't computer savvy?? My welcome letter did not come with a slip to mail in a payment so I'm wondering if that's the problem for many people... plus our payment amount changed, about $10.00 lower a month but the total loan amount didn't change at all. It's weird but fine with me.
I will be keeping a close eye on this and I am saving every piece of paper that comes from them and BOA. I have no complaints so far and feel bad for those having issues. Hopefully, we have no problems. Also, don't forget to contact your insurance company to tell them about the change.

I received notice on 06/04/13 that our loan was being transferred from Bank of America to Nationstar Mortgage. I was advised to wait until 06/10/13 to make a payment. I attempted to contact Nationstar for info on setting up automatic payment through our bank. Rep for Nationstar told me I had to do everything online. I explained I did not want to do online banking. I was told to contact at a later date. I made contact again on 06/12/13. I was told the auto pay form could not be located in the computer system at that time and I should enroll in their online system. I explained I did not want to enroll in online system. I made my home payment via phone for the month of June. I was told to call the next day about setting up "auto payment".
I called on 06/13/13 and the rep I got this time said I needed to go to my bank and initiate the auto pay service from my bank. I need to mention there is no direct line to reach a customer service person. Each time when I call, I have chosen a random selection such as "Information about refinancing" or "Information about taxes and insurance" etc. On 06/26/13, I contacted the customer service number as I went to my bank and was told the bank provides Bill Pay service and I would be charged for that but the mortgage company generally will provide customers with a form for Automatic Pay Withdrawal which is what we previously had in place. Today, I have been hung up on three times while talking to reps from Nationstar. The first person who answered my call yelled "What the hell" and the line went dead. The second person disconnected the line in the middle of my sentence.
The third person seemed pleasant but insisted he was not customer service. When I addressed the fact, I dialed the customer service number, he had no explanation. He said he could not provide me with the auto pay form but would transfer me. Once again, disconnected. The fourth contact I made I asked her politely to NOT hang up on me. I admitted to her I was upset and previous reps had hung up on me even though I had not cursed or screamed. She explained to me the form was hard to find. She found the form and told me I would receive the form in 5 to 7 days. I do not feel comfortable conducting my banking information online. The statement we received from Nationstar does not reflect the payment we made on the phone on 06/12/13. This entire experience is frightening. What can individuals do at this point? I did inquire if there is a complaint process and was told "You can go online."

I was previously a Bank of America customer since 2009 and have always paid my mortgage payment on time. I've never had any issues with BOA. They have real professional staff members that are well informed about loan information and were able to answer all questions. So, much to my surprise, I received a letter from BOA notifying me that my loan was going to be transferred to Nationstar Mortgage effective June 4, 2013. I was very shocked. I actually thought it was some type of scam. Unfortunately, for me it was very true.
My loan had, in fact, been transferred to Nationstar Mortgage. They have the worst customer service ever, staff members seem to be very confused with regards to basic loan questions. I was transferred numerous times to still get no clear answer. Nationstar doesn't take payments over the phone without tacking on an additional $9.95 fee. They have no local branches and/or offices in the state of Virginia, so you can't walk in and pay your mortgage. Prior to my loan being transferred to Nationstar Mortgage, I was in the process of getting my mortgage refinanced for a lower interest rate and have requested online and over the phone that Nationstar Mortgage fax over the document as soon as possible so that I don't miss the deadline on my lock-in rate.
According to the website, it takes 3 to 5 business days for payoff to be released. However, when I called to check on the status, four separate Nationstar Mortgage representatives gave totally different answers. Rep 1 said there was no record of me requesting a payoff; rep 2 said they are prioritizing and processing the customers that were closing at the end of June first. Rep 3 put me on hold and then hung up the phone after I requested to speak to a supervisor since I had been provided with so many different answers. Rep 4 said my payoff request was in queue to be processed and I should receive it hopefully this Friday, June 28, 2013.
I hope to goodness it arrives so I can refinance and get away from this awful company. I'm not sure how they have been in business for so long for the lack of knowledge their employees have. They need to provide better training and/or support to their employees. You can clearly time they are reading off some type of script that they well just keep repeating over and over and over. Honestly, some questions do not even require the scripted answers but it seems as if that is all those employees know. It is absolutely the worst terrible customer service ever but I guess I will give them some credit for least keeping people employed in this economy. - Extremely dissatisfied transferred customer.

Unfortunately, I chose to work with Nationstar on the purchase of my new home. I requested for my rate to be locked after they offered me a rate I was okay with. Days later after many emails, they said they never received my request to lock and would not honor the rate. At that point, it was too late to use another lender and still close on time, so I was stuck paying a much higher rate than I was expecting. I basically used them because I was trapped by timing. I will never work with them again. I recommend you find a lender you trust.

Nationstar is the worst bank I've ever dealt with. My mortgage was purchased from BOA two months ago. They were unable to take my first payment for several weeks and agreed to let me use my one-time phone payment "for free" even though they couldn't figure out any other way to take my payment. Then you pay through Western Union... What kind of a bank can't take payments?? So I decided to refinance. I've requested a payoff seven times... the last time from a manager. It's been a month. I've got no payoff and my rate lock is about to expire. My next call is to my attorney!

The origin of the loan was Leader Bank in Arlington, MA. They sold to BOA; they sold to NStar which has been a nightmare - almost like dealing with brain dead, but that is probably easier. I wanted to pay off the loan, got a payoff amount, and sent in a check for well over $350,000.00. They sent it back, said it was not the proper amount, that I still owed the EXTRA insurance they added - I ALREADY HAD HOUSE INSURANCE. My insurance company sent them the proof and they still want it. Now, I sent in the June payment early and they tacked me with penalty! They need to be reviewed for deceptive practice and just being plain obnoxious!

I was also a BOA customer. I never had a problem with them. BOA sold my loan to Nationstar effective April 1st. Nationstar did not mail out the welcome package until April 18th, which I received around April 20th, resulting in me having a late payment. I called to pay them, and they wanted me to pay a fee to pay them! I complained and the CS Rep said I could pay for free online when I set up an account, which I did. I then tried to make an online payment, and it goes through Western Union, which charges a fee! Unbelievable, aye yi yi! They want a late payment fee, plus a payment fee on top of that! They are taking in our money hand over fist, and don't want to be offering good customer service in return. I am going to try to refinance with GreenTree, who is the servicer for Citizen’s Bank on my 2nd mortgage. GreenTree offers fast and friendly customer service. They don't call and pester you until after the late date, and then it is still more like a friendly reminder. If you can't pay that month, they will roll you over into the next month.

We refinanced with Provident Bank in California in May. Within 5 days, they sold the loan to Nationstar. Then 5 days later, they sold the loan to Fannie Mae. I was instructed to continue sending payments to Nationstar. I made 2 payments and then was able to pay off the mortgage in full. I requested a payoff figure online and received the instructions within a day. On June 10, I wired nearly $195,000 to them and received no notification that the money was received. On June 12, I was locked out of my online account. The phone teller said my last payment for $1250 was received and my next payment is due July 1.
I called the main phone number and after 15 minutes of going through their menu, I was connected to a live person who spoke little English that told me they had received the money, but about $600 less than I actually sent. I asked for confirmation in writing, and they said they guaranteed my balance was zero. I requested a confirmation of this is writing; they said they would within 24-48 hours by fax. Nothing happened. I called again, went through the same crap and the next person who also sounded like they were in India said their policy was to send a letter and refund in 30 days. I wanted a receipt of some sort.
On the 14th, I called again and got the same runaround that a fax would be sent in 24-48 hours. On the 17th, I called again. On the 20th, I called again and finally got a supervisor who said no one submitted anything. He promised I would have it within 24 hours. On the 21st, I called and spoke to another agent, this time with a strong Filipino accent who said I would have it by the end of business day, after I threatened to have my lawyer contact them. Nothing came. Now I am going to call the FBI. I have $195,000 somewhere in the Ethernet, with no way to verify it was ever received. This is a crime.

My mortgage company was Wells Fargo and they were wonderful. I had good credit. When the interest rates went down, I decided to refinance with a different company so that I could get a lower rate. Roundpoint Mortgage Company became my mortgage company. They were wonderful just as Wells Fargo was. About two and a half years ago, they switched me over to Nationstar Mortgage and I started having problems right from the very beginning. They increased my monthly payment by $600 and after going back and forth many times, they changed the increase to $500 a month. They have been trying to take my home for the last two years. I cannot afford to pay this increase that they came up with saying that my home was appraised at the wrong amount. It wasn't the wrong amount when the other mortgages were handling this. Why now?
The appraisal value of my home has not increased. It is decreased, so my mortgage should not have increased at all. My rate should have been fixed, so they should not have been able to do this to me. There are so many complaints against this company. Why aren't we planning a class action suit against them? How are they allowed to do this continuously over and over again to so many people and nothing is being done? They should be sued for all of the emotional stress that they are causing in addition to being sued for ruining people's credit. They have turned my life upside down.

I am one of those whose mortgages got transferred from BOA at the beginning of June 2013. I was leery about Nationstar due to the numerous negative comments and reviews. I decided to NOT hit the panic button and refrained from making phone calls the very day of the transfer like so folks seem to want to do. I just waited for the dust to settle, let the transition get a few days of debugging, and the new folks get used to their new offices (I assume anyway). I just made my first online mortgage payment to Nationstar via their Western Union Web Payment using my routing number and checking account number and found it to work flawlessly with NO additional charge. I repeat, NO additional charge. Other states may have an additional charge, but it appears that Colorado does not. Very pleased so far. But then again, I have a standard issue 30-year VA loan and make my payments on time like I should (read: not complicated).

When GMAC went bankrupt, Nationstar Mortgage LLC moved in as assignee and assignor by MERS assignment. The original lender was Homecomings Mortgage and was not signed as a CEO on the NOTE. All the people involved in this assignment were employees of NATIONSTAR MORTGAGE, including the NOTARY. HOMECOMINGS had the mortgage with me and never formally recorded the MBS as required by law and used GMAC as the servicer. Then Nationstar came as servicer two years later when GMAC went bankrupt. I sent seven QWR to Nationstar to find the proper mortgager but never received any answer. They would only send the statement of payoff of this as their debt, but the assignment is a fraud as this was supposed to be a secured loan by Fannie Mae. But that was never recorded.
This mortgage has been sold to several MBS under different loan numbers to make them appear as a normal mortgage to each mortgagor in the securities. Nationstar is not suing in the name of any trust or stated any trust number. Nationstar has even stated in letters that they are the servicer and not the owner of the loan. But they state in court and the records that they were assigned the loan as mortgagor, which they cannot show in any records. There have been many TILA, UCC, PA act 6 and 91 for not sending notice of foreclosure in their name. I have documented all the frauds and violations of the laws in PA, but the court has been siding with the Plaintiff because Nationstar's legal dept has told the court that I have been living rent-free for over four years, but have not produced the proper documents in court or the records showing that assignment that was filed was legal.
When a loan is sold to another out of the original mortgagor, said buyer and owner of such sale has to, by law, send notice letters to the borrower that they are the new mortgagors proper which was never done, along with the Foreclosure Notice Act 91 from Nationstar which also was never received by the defendant. The assignment should have the signature of the CEO of Homecomings stating the assignment and also should have done a title search of the deed before filing in the county records to file foreclosure. Nationstar has been producing fraud to the court proven by document produced by the plaintiff and filed with the county court. How can I get the court to force compliance from Nationstar, as they have been using hearsay documents to file the assignment which by the way in the MERS records, GMAC was not recorded and Nationstar was not in any records as having any standing to this property?
If further documents are needed, I can send them to you as I cannot afford a lawyer and only receive $300 per month. The Legal Aid in my county has no lawyers, so I have been doing the best I can with information from online sources and filing everything myself. I have just come back from court for the oral brief and the lawyer for Nationstar has been telling the court that I have not been filing any arguments or answering to the discoveries. But I have the documents filed in court and the postal receipts of being sent and being received, all being accepted by hearsay evidence to the court.
