    Bank of America also sold my mortgage to these idiots and since then, it has been nothing but hell. Every month, they call “Your check is late. We are charging you late fees.” Every month, I have proof that they cashed my payment before the due date!!! I called and asked for a manager. “Oh yes, we apologize.” Once is one thing, 6 months in a row, something is going on. I am not sure what is wrong with this company but I am going to find out. The worst customer service experience and criminal. You cannot cash my checks, then turn around, harass me and then apologize.

    We applied for a HAMP modification at the end of March. Nationstar is still dragging their feet after raising our monthly mortgage payment to over $2,000! We live in a middle class neighborhood. This rate is outrageous. They have now offered to lower it to $1,717 but that is STILL outrageous and is NOT 31% of our monthly gross, per the terms of the HAMP agreement. It should be closer to $1,000 a month. Our friends say they are trying to push us out of the house. Our assigned representative at Nationstar hasn't corresponded with us in any way for over two months. Every time we call, we get someone different with different information.

    My account got transferred from BofA in the beginning of June and ever since, it's been an absolute nightmare. I have tried to make a payment and got the runaround. I was in the middle of the trial period for making Home Affordable when they sold the loan. My wife had brain surgery and lost her job, so now everything falls on my shoulders. They have not sent me any information in the mail on my loan number and where to make the payment. They don't accept payments over the phone. Their automated system runs you in a loop to get you to enter your info 3 times before it will accept it. Then when you speak to someone, it's in the Philippines. Then they transfer the call 4 other times until you get to talk to some rude chick on the phone. They need to shut this company down!!!

    My loan was sold from Bank of America to Nationstar Mortgage. I was in loan modification when my loan was sold. Nationstar did not contact me. Calling Bank of America, checking on my modification status, I was told that my loan was sold and another mortgage company will contact me. I asked what will happen with my loan modification. I was advised that new company, Nationstar, will continue the process. When I finally received the letter from Nationstar telling me about my loan being sold to them, I called Nationstar Mortgage and was told I have to start the loan modification process again from the beginning. They said they do not have any information on me regarding modification. So I began the process again.

    It was taking a long time. New contact person was assigned to my loan and changed again and again. Poor communication, no guidance and at the end, I was denied. No solution was given to me either except to make all past due payments which is impossible. I made a monthly payment via online banking in March which went okay. Now, when I made my payment in June, it was returned back to me. I feel I was taken for a ride and was not treated the way you treat a homeowner in distress and real need. I also know this mortgage company takes their time not to approve you and then say you do not qualify due to not having enough income. So why start the process for loan modification if I make enough? I bought the house at high price. The value declined.

    So now, no communication from the company with any other solutions to my account or even help me set up repayment plan. Nothing! It’s as if I am left and ready to face the worst. And it looks like does not matter if our president Obama comes up with solutions and help for homeowners in need if the companies do what they please and do not give help like they’re supposed to. If Nationstar would continue with my loan modification when they took over from Bank of America, I would not be in this situation today. This is called total negligence!!! I know I am not the only one out there. Next step for me is to contact an attorney.

    My mortgage was sold by BofA to Nationstar Mortgage. I never had any problems with BofA, always paid my mortgage on the 10th of every month. Nationstar starts calling me with a robocall on the 5th of every month. When my bank account did not show that my mortgage was paid after sending the check more than a week prior, I called them; they had not received my payment. They, of course, immediately offered the online payment for a fee and also offered the automatic payment taken out of my bank account monthly.

    I do not trust them so I keep on paying by mail but how? They can always say that they did not receive my payment and charge me a late fee and also threaten to report me to the credit bureau. Should I send my payments certified mail now? With a return receipt to prove that I did send my payment? It's cheaper than their late fees. This company should be reported as fraudulent. So many complaints do not lie.

    Nationstar is a mess. Since our mortgage was sold to them from Bank of America DURING a refinance process, I was attempting to close on with another mortgage lender, nightmare is the best word to describe... I was able to access my account on June 10th and on June 11th, my new lender and I requested a payoff so we could close on my refinance. Well at this point, we still do not have it! You have to send in a request even if you call on a 3-person conference call to speed things up and authorize the info. They will not do it over the phone or fax!!!! They first told us it is 5 business days. Then when we checked on Friday, they said they never received it. The new lender had the fax reply to prove and a documented phone call as well as me calling personally.

    We were told Friday, June 14th. It would not be able to be accessed for the payoff amount for 24-48 hrs and this has to be business days! So since we had not heard anything, we called today, June 18th, past the 48 hrs and were told it was not processed yet!!!!!! After numerous calls and complaints messages to supervisors and another 3-person conference call, amazingly they then found the fax from June 11th but the time limit had been expired/date. No one bothered to tell us about an expiration date on the authorization form I signed. They were talking about the original one I signed with Bank of America which they had nothing to do with because we did not realize they were selling our mortgage. The fax paperwork request had the right date June 11th but that doesn't work!

    No one ever mentioned this in the 3 phone conversations we had with Nationstar, nor did they attempt to notify us about the date. The new lender and I have left 3 messages for supervisors or managers today to get back with us since a supervisor is never available and no one will call us back. Needless to say, our closing date passed last week and we're still battling with them just to get a payoff so we can pay them off!!!!!! My suggestion is if you have them as your mortgage company, try your best to refinance with someone else. If you are looking at them for mortgage lender, I suggest stay away. I am going to file a complaint through the BBB and our State Attorney General's Office.

    I have been trying to get my loan modified since 2/1/2011. Aurora sold my loan to Nationstar in July of 2012. They tried to quickly sell my home at a sheriff's sale on July 15th. I had to engage the MN Attorney General to stop the sale and get someone at Nationstar to talk to me. Nationstar fails to return phone calls and emails on a constant basis. In addition, the name of the person they give you as your point of contact either does not exist or will NEVER return a call... so you are left with no one to call to answer your questions. I emailed one supposed point of contact for 6 months with no response. Then finally, I got an email stating he would be out of the office until 1/20/2020!!!

    Nationstar has had me fill out the HAMP application 5 times; they have misplaced documents multiple times, have failed to update income documents and profit/loss statements, and have tried to do a sheriff sale 10 times on us already. WE have had each sale successfully postponed as each sale was invalid or was going to be done illegally. After threatening to run a securitization audit on our mortgage checking for illegal sales on Wall Street, they finally sent us loan modification documents. They then forced us to pay our first trial period payment almost 30 days early...which we did.

    Our next payment then was to be due on 7/1/2013. It clearly states this on the paperwork they sent us. Well, on June 6th, they demanded the second trial payment which, of course, we sent. Yesterday, we got two letters... one stating that we are good to go with the trial period payments and that once they get our third payment, our loan will be permanently modified. The second letter we got said that they are sorry but they cannot offer us any assistance due to "negative monthly cash flow"... which is false. We completed our required HUD counseling session through Money Management International, who then recommended us for HAMP. Within less than a week, we got our paperwork from Nationstar... so who knows what is going on?

    Our trial period payments are $2933.66...so you can imagine the size of our original loan! Nationstar needs to clean up their act as they are not helping homeowners out as the program is designed to do. I suggest anyone trying to do a loan mod with them contact the Help line set up by the government as they were very helpful in getting Nationstar to finally work with us. I think we will see Nationstar in the news soon having to settle with consumers like Bank of America had to... They just don't get it. Our battle has gone on 30 months and isn't close to over! Shame on Nationstar!

    Bank of America sold my home mortgage to these guys. I'm unhappy because I was told by BOFA that everything would stay the same. My June 1 payment was sent to them via BOFA. My June 15 payment, I was finally able to pay on the phone with a representative. It took me about two hours to finally get the right dept. and to get through. At that point, I was told they don't offer bi-monthly payments of my mortgage. I have to pay the full amount on the 1st.

    Well I can't AFFORD to do that. That is why I pay half on the first and half on the 15th and was told it would not change by BOFA. If I want to keep my payments the same (the 1st and the 15th), I have to go with this third party company and pay an enrollment fee of $295! What a scam! I am livid, and I am going to put my mortgage account with a credit union like BECU as soon as possible!

    Bank of America has transferred over my account to Nationstar who never sent me any kind of proper information. I have been calling over and over to get my account in order to make my payments. They do not allow accelerated payments on the account and the overage in my escrow was to be applied towards my July payment. This past Friday, I authorized the balance due to be withdrawn from my bank account and instead of the $220.00 due, they have taken out an entire month payment of over $1000.00 making my bank account overdrawn by over $700.00. I contacted Nationstar and told them to return the money only to tell me to do a complaint through my bank which now can take up to 60 days to sort out. I don't have a secondary bank account in which to handle my finances and I need my money so I can take care of my bills. Nationstar is a huge POS.

Paperwork has now been sent to them a total of 3 times - the worst customer service I have ever experienced.

    Where do I start? So many complaints for Nationstar. Been calling and faxing proof of payments (canceled checks) for 6 months now. My payments have been applied to escrow or in an account just being held. This is what I have been told by customer service and escrow dept. They first keep telling me that the reason my payments got higher is because I missed payments. I keep faxing proof of payments. Then I was just told that escrow did an analysis of my taxes and escrow and they raised my payments $500.00 a month (my loan is a fixed rate). Every statement that I received would have a different amount due each month.

    I keep calling and calling customer service. IT DOES NO GOOD TO CALL THEM! Just as of last week, they reported to the credit bureau. Could not believe that they do that! They tell me I have my money sitting in some account and will not apply it to my payment. I have called so many times. Not sure what to do anymore...

    I was among those whom Bank of America sold the servicing rights to Nationstar. I have made all of my mortgage payments on time and in full. Nonetheless, Nationstar's introductory letter promised to provide negative information about me to credit reporting agencies and characterized Nationstar as a debt collector, thereby, falsely implying that my mortgage was in default. In reality, I was ahead of schedule in my payments. Additionally, my homeowner's insurance premium, which Nationstar is responsible for paying from my escrow account, is due June 28. Thus far, Nationstar has not paid it and I am concerned that it never will. My advice to those who have experienced problems is to file a complaint with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and with your state Attorney General's consumer protection division. A critical mass of complaints may bring remedial action.

    My mortgage was sold from Bank of America to Nationstar in May of 2013. After I got a letter welcoming me to Nationstar, I created an account and logged in, making my first payment with them on 05/08/2013. This payment was subsequently reversed for some reason, but I wasn't notified by them that this happened. The money was available in my bank account and I have never missed a payment on my mortgage. Then I get a paper statement at the end of May stating that I owe 2 months of payments. It was then I found out that my prior payment had been reversed. I attempted to make another payment but find that I get charged a fee for ad-hoc payments online (using Western Union). So I sent them a check instead, this time to cover both May and June.

    This payment cleared on June 4th and my online statement is showing that I'm current with my payments. The next one is due on July 1st. Today, I get a letter in the mail saying that I haven't made a payment in over 60 days (strange because 60 days ago, I was a Bank of America customer) and that I'm in default. On top of this, they've supposedly notified credit reporting agencies, which I'm really upset about because I have a rating in the high 700s. Not only this but I understand that when a mortgage is transferred, there is a 60-day grace period where no fees can be charged, and I'm assuming I can't be placed in default, even if I hadn't made any payments. I'm dreading having to call them because I'm reading that they're outsourcing customer service overseas. I've since written to them and notified the BBB of this issue.

    My BOA loan was transferred to Nationstar. For 18 years, my loan had to be paid by the 16th, as still does per my Nationstar statement. My pay day is the 10th. Nationstar charges me a late fee of $25 plus other fees I can't understand or get resolve on if not paid by the 10th, even though they acknowledge I have until the 16th. When I can't find answers online, I call and get charged another $20 fee for calling. I can barely understand the Nationstar representative who seems to be following a script that doesn't answer my questions. Payment options are scandalous, in that they force you to pay automatic out of your check account on the 1st of the month, no other date. When I Western Union the money, one of their very few options, they took the house payment out of my checking account 3 weeks in a row and stated they had no obligation to pay bounce fees in my account (luckily, BOA cleared them after I explained what Nationstar said).

    When I called to tell them to stop taking out excessive payments, they stated they were going to charge me a fee for calling and correcting the error, and made me contact Western Union to stop payment. Then Western Union said they had to coordinate with Nationstar to verify the payments were excessive. The payment is different every month. I can't understand why, and I can't get it resolved without paying for it. Then, if I want to make a payment by phone, it is 5 days before they can credit me. When I read to them the BOA letter that they were required to honor the terms of the contract, they said that did not apply to their services. When I called to get the payment amount by automated phone line, the payment is less than what is showing on my statement.

    It has been an absolute nightmare since BOA switched me to Nationstar. I want to make my payment today, the 15th, but find that no matter what way I pay, I won't be credited for 5 days. This makes it impossible to pay on time. Through the tough economy, I have never been late on a house payment. I pay that before I buy groceries and all other necessities. With Nationstar, however, I am guaranteed to be late because they make sure you cannot get credited in a reasonable time. They are not willing to set up automatic payments except on the 1st of each month. They are not trustworthy to do their Western Union plan (which costs more fees)…scandalous! I never use to worry about my mortgage. Now, I worry and stress about how Nationstar is going to screw me this month. I tried to refinance, but unfortunately, I have always paid my mortgage on time. I am not underwater. I do not have my loan with Freddie Mae or Mac, and do not have a large enough loan to go through a traditional bank. HELP! I can't get resolve and am desperate for help.

    My loan originated at Countrywide and this company was bought by Bank of America. Last month, with no notice, Bank of America sold my loan to Nationstar. My monthly mortgage payment has always been $1,094.17. Last month with Nationstar, it was still $1,094.87. I have been paying this amount for the past 8 years. This month they increased the payment to $1,148.70, which is a $53.83 per month increase. I never got a good reason for this increase after several calls to their customer service. This would be like being in the middle of a 10-year lease and the owner telling you he was raising your rent. I really think this is illegal, so I have written my US Senator.

    In 2010, our mortgage was sold to Nationstar from Suntrust. We never had an issue with Suntrust and didn't know why the mortgage was sold to this debt collector when we never made a payment late. We've had nothing but problems with Nationstar since the beginning. We made a payment on time one month... or so we thought. When you make a payment over the phone one time, it keeps your account info and when you call the next time, it will ask if you want to pay using account number such and such, press 1 to use that account or 2 to put in a different account number. So I called to make my payment on time and press 1 to use the same account we always use. Fast forward about 4-5 weeks later, I looked at our bank account and saw that there is more money than there should be in the account. I decided to call Nationstar to confirm our payment had gone through okay since I couldn't figure out why there was extra money in the account.

    After being on the phone for about an hour, I spoke to a very rude man who said that we never made the payment. I informed him that I had made it and there had to be a mistake. After a whole lot of arguing, he decided that I had to have put the account number in wrong but I never put the account number in and only pressed 1 to use the same account I always use. He basically told me I was screwed as far as my credit report was concerned because they weren't going to take responsibility for the mistake. After hours on the phone with several people, including a supervisor, they said the only thing I could do was write a letter to the company requesting that they take the late payment off my credit report... Of course, I have not heard anything back about that and it's still on the report as a late payment.

    The latest and biggest issue we've had is in trying to refinance. They told us from the beginning that if we wanted to refinance, we would be pre-qualified and would have to do nothing but fill out some paperwork. The only condition was that we had to not have any late payments for 6 months. Because of the mistake mentioned above, we had to wait 6 months from that point. The refinancing process started on March 1st, 2013. We filled out all of the necessary paperwork and were told it would be no problem to have it refinanced. Sometime in April, we received a letter stating they have stopped the process because we requested to "withdraw the application". We NEVER requested such a thing. As far as we know, the process was moving along just fine. I spoke to a lady that was very apologetic for the mistake and assured me she would take care of it and they were moving forward with refinancing. I spoke to the same lady last week and she informed me the paperwork had gone through underwriting and we were just waiting for a closing date.

    When I got a letter in the mail from them on Tuesday, I assumed it was to let me know when the closing would be. To my surprise, the letter stated our loan application has been denied! After months of going through this process and several promises that it would be approved with no problem, they have denied our request to refinance. I have made several calls and sent several urgent emails to them to find out WHY they have done this to us. But of course, there has been no response so far. Because our loan payment is so high and we were counting on it being lowered, we now have to sell our home. This company has put us through absolute hell. I don't know how they are still in business or how they haven't been sued for bad business practices. We bought this house in 2007. It is the only house our children have ever lived in and now we have to sell it (and will probably owe them money because it's not worth what it was in 2007, of course).

The customer service number took 5 minutes to go through their automated system before I even had an option to talk to a human. The supervisor - Morgan - was no help and acted as if they had no obligation to find my payment. This company needs to be shut down. It is terrible and a liability to people's credit scores.

    I am very offended by the fact that my mortgage was transferred Bank of America to Nationstar - a debt collector. I'm low risk, never late, never refinanced, and paid on time - always down on a 30-1-arm fixed mortgage - at two years over annual payments. I have a chronic illness, requiring daily treatment with medical instruments in my home. I do not use the phone and I am prevented from using computers due to risk of machine interference. When telephoning Nationstar, after taking hours and constant automatic hang-ups, the reps started out by noting this was a debt, and the communication was being recorded; if I want to make payment, send in by mail or via Western Union. What a disgrace.

    I am a homeowner, where BOA gives me full access to its banks, even when I required assistance. I feel consumers have no say-so in how they are treated. We are like blood and can be put into a lottery of investors to pick and choose amongst us as if we are non-human. We need to protest these types of businesses and hold the federal government accountable. This is painful, distracting, and could very much jeopardize our good credit rating. We all need to DO SOMETHING - all of us - as lenders are holding on to all the cash - classifying responsible consumers as risk if they cannot make money off them through late fees and high Annual Percentage Rates. When the laws changed to protect consumers, the creditors and lenders got greedy and nasty and began to find ways to keep consumers from progressing in any way, shape or form.

    Nationstar does not have a direct online payment - you must pay through Western Union, which charges a fee for the service. You can never get a person on the phone - just a recorded message that limits your options. They harass me for my payment when I have until the 16th to pay the mortgage. I did not choose this company - B of A sold my mortgage to them. There should be some kind of protection for people from this kind of thing. This is the fourth company that has had my mortgage now, and every servicer is worse than the one before.

    My mortgage was perfectly fine while I was with BofA. I didn't find out about the loan sellout until November 2012. My daughter went to make my payment at BofA and was told that they no longer have the account in their system. I can't begin to explain what was going through my mind and how upset I was to find out my loan was now sold, again. This makes it the second time since I've bought the house which was purchased in 2009. When I actually found out that the buyer was Nationstar and located in another state (Texas), I was livid. I was a couple of days from making the payment without having to pay a late fee.

    When I called and asked how to make a payment without accruing a late fee, I was told that I could make the payment by paying a $15.00 fee over the phone or by Western Union which is $9.95. Fortunately, I did get the payment in on time with $15.00 included. I later learn that Western Union payment does not post to the account the same day it’s sent. The payment has to be processed by the company which could take a couple of days. Unlike some of the other comments posted problems with payments not being posted, I'm thankful I have not experienced that and pray I don't. What I am having a problem with is the increase in my escrow account. I don't understand how my escrow went up when the insurance premium has not changed nor has the homestead tax exemption filed on the property not changed.

    When I called to get someone to explain this issue to me, I was given some off the wall story about an audit that was done to force this increase in my escrow balance which shows $346.00 shortage. How could this be when I was not with them to do an audit, I was with BofA? This took my mortgage up $60.00 plus the shortage which was divided up over a 12 month period. Now I'm paying $80-$90 more than what I was paying BofA. I cannot wait to find me someone else to buy out this loan because I cannot see myself paying anymore in the near future without a logical explanation and proof of why they (Nationstar) keep finding unnecessary reasons to increase my mortgage payment.

    This is absolutely outrageous and something should be done. That's why I’m going to one of my credit unions to get them to buyout my loan. This may take some time to do, but it will be worth the wait. This mortgage company (Nationstar) should not be in business at all. They are bogus and ripping people off big time. With all these complaints, surely something can be done. This is unbelievable.

    Every time I have had to call this mortgage company, it has resulted in the absolute worst service with no answers I have ever seen a company produce. Unfortunately, I was "sold" to Nationstar by Bank of America, and I am not sure I would put one better than the other. I recently sold my home in May, and closed in May, at which time the funds were dispersed and loans paid off. I can't get into the Nationstar account to check escrow balance because they lock you out and tell you to call them. When I call them, the recording says I still owe the June 1 payment. But when I finally talked to a real human with a pulse, they said the account shows paid off May 24.

    When I asked about the escrow balance, they said they didn't see any balance. So they transferred me to their escrow department - another recording tour. When I got a real person in the escrow department and went through the whole story again, what was the balance and when could I expect to receive it, his answer was, and I quote, "You have a good question, as I don't see the escrow balance" which by the way is $3,302.02 per my May 2013 statement. Total incompetence at this company, which leads me to believe they have highly paid executives that are also incompetent since the old saying goes, you lead by example.

Remember Nationstar never received their money because the bank sent them back.

    How can you send money back that they never received? I filed Chapter 13 in 2007. When I finished with Chapter 13, they tacked on escrow $3500. So now I'm paying a high house note... $435 tacked on my note each month for escrow and I know I was paying on escrow before Chapter 13.

I explained to her that it had been sent. She wanted to know what check number it was. I told her I was at work and asked why I had a grace period till the 17th, but I was getting rude threatening phone calls. She stated my contract says my due date each month was the first. I wasn't going to argue with her because she just didn't understand my point. So I told her when she knew what she was talking about, she could call me back and I hung up.

However, there wasn't one person I talked to who could answer my questions, let alone set up my payments.

I have been making payments every month and Nationstar still hasn't applied those funds to this so called amount. They still can't explain why I have them still showing up on my account. They continue to send me certified mail for foreclosures. I get phone calls. It is ridiculous.

    I have already signed for my new mortgage and got them notarized, which cost me $75. They sent them back, and they still continue to call and send certified letters. This is a nightmare. Every time I call them, it is the same thing. The system hasn't been updated and that’s what we are waiting for, or my favorite is, "We are waiting to hear from corporate."

    My husband was laid off in November 2012. We immediately called BOA and advised them of he was laid off and they referred us to Nationstar which took 2 months and several phone calls for a loan modification. Finally, my husband spoke with someone who stated they could help us but instead of a modification, they suggested a refi which sounded good so my husband said okay. The person said it will be $20 to get it started so we paid the $20 and started the process. Ever since, it has been a nightmare. He said we would not need any out of pocket money. We ended up paying for an appraisal and we ended up paying $800 in bills that they said we had to get rid of before we could get the refi. They stated the only way we could get this refi is if we pay the bill. We stated to him that was our house payment money. He said, “Once you get this paid, we would be closing in February.”

    Our house payment was due in March which we paid to BOA. During that same month, our loan was sold to Nationstar with a payment due in April. We never received the welcome package until the end of April and I had to call and inquire about that information. The lady stated they were running behind on mailing out the packets but the late payment would not affect our credit because it was their fault. Needless to say, we never closed in February or March nor did we hear anything from anyone about closes. On yesterday, we received a call. Mind you, it is June and the process started in February that they would not be able to help us because we were late with our April payment which was not our fault and because we had to shell out $1,200, unexpected dollars put us in more of a strain.

I tried for over 45 minutes to contact a person on how I can set up my payment to be paid, as I am never late with my payment. I always have it paid through automatic payment by the 5th of the month. The letter made it clear my auto-payment transfer would not transfer with my account.

The person reached somebody at Nationstar, who said I cannot set up my account to pay my bill to them before JUNE 10th. This is ridiculous, so I began to investigate this company and found the 375 complaints and horror stories. This will not do. IMMEDIATELY, I've begun steps to refinance taking my loan somewhere else before Nationstar can mess up my excellent mortgage rating. I am nervous about my June payment, but will pay it via Western Union, certificate, register, or whatever it takes so they cannot say I did not pay on time or at all, nor have them try to give me a late fee. If so, I am documenting when I got the first notice of their takeover, which is JUNE 5, 2013; the first time I can set up my payment account with them, which is JUNE 10, 2013; and the grace period, which ends JUNE 17. If they change anything or try to pull a fast one, I will not hesitate to lawyer up.

    I'm amazed this company is even permitted to handle mortgages. To BOA's credit, they have always serviced my loan well: never late, never a problem. I just wish my mortgage was not in the group sold this time around. It's worth paying to stay with them and reduce my interest rate too.

Of course, all the settlement funds were payable to me and Nationstar Mortgage.

    It has now been more than six weeks since they "certified" that all repairs were made. Yet, when they sent their "final" draw check to me, it was made out in such a way that the bank would not accept it. The check was returned (per their instructions!) with the promise that a "new" check, with the correct "payee" would be forthcoming within 10 days. It is now 3 weeks since they received the "wrong" check and I was told it would be another 10 WORKING DAYS before a "new" check would be issued.

    Every customer "service" representative I've spoken with has either promised to have this resolved within 72 hours and/or would call me when they knew when the issue would be resolved. No one, not even their "supervisor", has called with ANY information.

    When my loan was transferred from BOA to Nationstar Mortgage, I was very guarded. I was one of the many readers on this site and thought to myself that my experience would be a mess, and that I'd be one of the many hundreds that are in fury. The reason why I am writing is to promote some good news for those that were in my boat and were/are concerned. Sometimes, you have to think outside the box and expect a process to not go according to plan. It took a while for my account to post, but I have to say that when I called to inquire, I always got a voice and there were no long waiting periods or transfers.

    I thought like many here that I'd be waiting forever. My loan was transferred this year in April, and I was encouraged to send my payment regardless as the payment would be eventually linked to my account. Now why would I take that chance? Many here did and suffered greatly. Sometimes, we also have to be accountable and not leave everything for a company to handle. I get it, we should be able to. In the case of working with a company with bad reviews, why take the risk? I have yet to set up an auto-debit, which is what I had with BOA. From day one, I waited until my account was active and made a payment via MoneyGram. I decided to go this route because I read (in this thread) horror stories about Nationstar hitting accounts two to three times.

    Though it blows my mind that this would happen, I did not want to chance it and still won’t. Granted there is a fee, but I call it a “peace of mind” fee. At least I know the payment was received immediately and applied, plus I have total control of it. Yes, it is a step that no one should have to do, but if you are dealing with an investor with some operational issues, why take the risk and play by their rules? Leave your account info off the site until the dust settles and make changes later. I have been making payments via MoneyGram as I stated and have gotten used to it. I may just leave it as is. I spend more money on Starbucks and D&D daily, not a deal breaker. I would not be so quick to scream fire. Take matters into your own hands, if you can.

    I am not discounting other experiences. If you can do something, just do it. Don't wait for the "Aha!" Set up your account online. You don't need to set up the account with your personal banking info, but at least you can view your statements. Don't bother waiting for it and calling to scream. It will come and if it doesn't, take control and pull it yourself. I think by nature we leave a lot for others to do. If your mtg info is that important to you, then just take the steps to get your information without having to make a call Monday morning. The statements are mailed by their back office, not the rep who answers the phone. Calling to say "You people suck" and torture the rep on the phone with attitude and a mouthful of bad words is not going to get you service with a smile.

    We are all human and will take offense at some point. Do you really need to go there? Again, I get the mess others are in and I am only putting the message out there for those that are coming in as a new customer, reading the same as I did and placing ourselves in a panic. In the end, I was fine, totally. The difference, I got involved, just enough to not have to spend my day fighting on the phone. I am sure that this investor has operational issues.

    I called Nationstar to cancel my escrow account. They said I could not do this because they did not originate my loan. I did some research to find a statute in Minnesota, which states a mortgagee has the right to discontinue an escrow account if it is a conventional loan and is at least 7 years old. My loan is conventional and it is over 7 years old. I explained the law to Nationstar, but they still refused to cancel my escrow account. I escalated the call to a manager and it was sent to their Research Department. I had to fax them a copy of the statute. If they have a research team, why am I doing all the legwork?

    It's been over a month since I made my request and this situation has still not been resolved. I want to cancel my escrow account because Nationstar mistakenly double paid my taxes in April. In Minnesota, taxes are paid in 2 installments (due on May 15 and October 15). Bank of America paid the May taxes in early April. Then the servicing was transferred to Nationstar effective April 5. Nationstar paid the taxes again, but the county has no record of receiving the money. Nationstar claims they wired the money on April 19. So basically, they took the money out of my escrow account and now it's lost. This item is also currently in their Research Department. At this point, I don't trust Nationstar to handle my taxes and insurance. I refuse to let them borrow my money and earn interest on it throughout the year.

    My mortgage was sold to Nationstar in March from BOFA, so I understand some months later. I did not receive notification from Nationstar until April 13. The only notification I DID receive, I wasn't able to make payments online with BOFA any longer which was sometime in March? The link to my account in online banking simply disappeared and I was unable to make any payments. Since then, I have contacted BOFA who told me to wait for the "Welcome Package" from Nationstar. By the time this arrived, I was already behind 1 payment. I went online to Nationstar's website and scheduled a payment by ACH since this is the ONLY option.

    Suddenly, it seemed as though I was being treated as a delinquent payor? It's confusing and disheartening to say the least. I always made my payment online with BOFA on time or within the grace period. Let me say, the grace period is there for a reason. This shouldn't be used against us. Most of us get paid bi-weekly. It takes more than one paycheck to pay the mortgage. The payment I scheduled in April by ACH never went through. It was reversed by Nationstar, for whatever reason, and I was charged a late fee. I had to take time out to cal them and ask why - very inconvenient. They did apply the payment and reverse the late charge. However, the same thing is happening with May's payment. I scheduled it and it is not applied. ACH doesn't work automatically???

    I don't want to make another call. Why should I? I should be able to transfer funds and be done with this. I have spent my entire Saturday (today) trying to set up recurring payments according to my biweekly pay schedule (since that is all they offer). However, since I'm delinquent now because of their inefficiencies, it appears that I am now unable to set up monthly recurring payments. Ugh! It's completely frustrating. My Fannie Mae Loan does not allow me to be 90 days delinquent. I can see how this is a "cash cow" for Nationstar, forcing people to lose their good financing to just simply offer their own financing at a higher rate. Please help.

    B of A transferred and sold my mortgage to Nationstar Mortgage effective May 1, 2013 - not to worry about any late payment charges for May. There was no problem; I made my payment on time. Today is June 1st. I called Nationstar after being unable to make my payment online, unless I paid it through Western Union and paid a charge to make the payment on their website. Nationstar hours are Monday through Thursday, 8 am to 8 pm, and Friday 8 am through 6 pm, ALL Central Time, closed Saturday and Sunday.

    My Mortgage is due today, Saturday, June first. I do not feel I should pay any amount to a third party to make my Mortgage payment on time. I will write a check today, and take it to the Post Office here in Downey first thing Monday morning making sure the envelope is postmarked June 3rd, and send it Registered Mail. Someone will hopefully SIGN for it and NOT leave it on a desk somewhere. I will be watching my bank for the check to be POSTED. I will also call Nationstar regarding my Mortgage Payments.

    Nationstar Mortgage purchased my mortgage in November 2011 from Bank of America. I have been in Chapter 13 bankruptcy since July 2010. Per the Bankruptcy Court ordered plan, BofA, and subsequently Nationstar, were to be paid back two missed payments and lender-purchased hazard insurance (escrow account) by the Court's Trustee in monthly disbursements over the course of five years, and my monthly payments would return to principal and interest only.

    However, BofA, and then Nationstar, kept charging me for the same insurance escrow shortage in my monthly mortgage payments; thus, the Banks were receiving payments directly from me, plus payments through my bankruptcy plan -- an illegal practice by the banks known as "double dipping". In October 2011, I purchased my own hazard insurance policy to avoid Nationstar from setting up an escrow account, which would increase my monthly payments even more.

    After the transfer of my mortgage to Nationstar, I received an annual escrow statement from BofA proving the bank's violation of the Bankruptcy Court's orders, so I informed my bankruptcy attorney. My attorney sent BofA a qualified written request in February 2012. Four months later, my attorney received a response back from BofA admitting to the illegal escrow charges, and filed an Adversary Proceeding Lawsuit against Nationstar and BofA in June 2012.

    In October 2012, BofA and Nationstar's attorney (both banks used the same attorney) requested a settlement offer. My attorney proposed that they forfeit all payment arrears and modify my loan by lowering the principal by $30,000 and the interest rate to 3%. In January 2013, Nationstar refused to take payments over the phone. I knew they had a habit of "losing" checks, so I did electronic bill payment through my checking account (at least that way, I had confirmation of payment received). Then, in April 2013, the two-and-a-half years of over-payments finally drained me to where I couldn't make a payment. In mid-May of 2013, Nationstar informed my attorney that I was five months late in making payments, and would only agree to a settlement where they pay the missed payments and my attorney's fees. By then, I was only behind on two payments (if you consider the 1st of the month the absolute due date), and gave my attorney proof of this, through a phone payment log I kept and the three electronic bill payment confirmations.

    My attorney went ahead and accepted the "settlement", advising me that the Bankruptcy Court would look unfavorably on me for not making mortgage payments as per the bankruptcy plan, implying that if I didn't take the settlement and the lawsuit went to Court, I would not win. Even though we had overwhelming proof that BofA and Nationstar broke several Federal and State laws, violated the Court's own orders and resulted in me paying over $3,000 extra to the Banks, the court would find in the Banks' favor. How can that be?

    I was behind on the two mortgage payments because the extra charge per month for the illegal escrow over the course of two and a half years had slowly bled me dry. Nationstar knew they could keep overcharging, deny a mortgage modification application, and stall settlement negotiations for as long as necessary in order to force me into a position where I'm the bad guy, and their crimes go unpunished.

    Please sign my petition to have them investigated by the Government. I do not want anyone else to be bullied by the Nationstar Foreclosure Industry. Please sign my petition at http://wh.gov/.

    I was with BOA in the past. Since late 2011, I was seeking a modification from BOA. I was also challenging their right to collect on this debt. So instantly, on May 2012, my mortgage was turned over to Nationstar. This is where the nightmare begins. BOA said Nationstar was now my mortgage server. I never heard anything from then until August, saying I owed for three months. I again said I was seeking a modification. It took five months, until January 2013, to get Melody to finally approve my modification. The modification was for three months. I paid January and February, and about to make the final payment .

    I received a call from Brian who says, "You are not eligible for a modification." I was about to jump through the phone and strangle him. The explanation was so much **. I asked for my money back that I paid. They said they cannot return the money from January and February. Two weeks later, I get served, telling me they are going to foreclose on the home. They started foreclosure proceedings in January, while I was in a modification. I have had six representatives from Nationstar: Melody, Brian **, Ellerbe, and three others. They don't know where the $1,800 is from the two payments. I'm still seeking my $1,800. Now they are making me pay the legal fees on the foreclosure that they prematurely started...

    Nationstar has all these different accounts to hide your money. I asked to get a copy of all my transactions, but they said they could not do it. SMH... I'll bet you Nationstar is an affiliate of BOA. There needs to be an investigation. Nationstar is an abusive mortgage server, and they are practicing this abusive behavior. They are participating in shady business practices and unethical behavior. Look up "abusive mortgage servers". Nationstar is doing this. The bad part about this is that our congressional and senate representatives know about this and are doing nothing. This is an unregulated area of banking that is allowed to abuse consumers. I've filed complaints with the FTC and state and federal reps, and nothing has been done. We need a class-action lawsuit!!!

    Bank of America sold my mortgage to Nationstar in March of 2013. I called to set up my online payment options with them, which was no problem. This week, I received a certified letter in the mail saying that my mortgage was $1,132.26 behind. I knew there was no way of that. I called them immediately. The person who I spoke to looked up my account and could only find the usual payment amount and not $1,132.26. It's like they pulled that number out of thin air and slapped it in a letter and sent it to me.

    No one that I talked to could see anything on my mortgage saying that it was late $1,132.26. All I got from the person was, "Uhh, I don't know why it is saying that." I was like, "Are you kidding me?" I asked to speak to a manager and the person said that they weren't available. So I left my name and number and no one ever got back to me.

    BofA sold my loan to Nationstar a couple of months ago. I received the first payment bill & paid it on the 1st. The grace period is the 1st through the 17th. A few weeks later, I got the bill for the next month but I also got another bill for next month. This 2nd bill states I owe a late fee of $51. I called and was asked to put in my phone number by the computer. I did and was told they were connecting me to the collection dept. WHAT??? I have never been late and have impeccable credit. Next, Luisa (who was nice) said that my loan was sold to Nationstar and I am in the "probationary period". WHAT? I didn't ask for my loan to be sold!!! And I have done nothing wrong to be on probation!

    She confirmed they received my payment on the 8th and acknowledged this was during the grace period. But, if I pay during the grace period I may get late notices with fees and to just IGNORE them! WHAT? Just ignore them and let Nationstar accumulate fees to put in their pocket & ruin my credit? I told her that this is harassment and that I am retired and have lots of time to write to everyone about this RIP OFF!! I told her that many people don't question the late fee and will end up being out late fees and double payments. I have no doubt this is their intended plan!

    Think about this: You are Nationstar & you buy up loans. Then you harass people when they are in their legal grace period from the very start of acquiring a loan. If they can harass you enough to get you to pay early, they then have multiple millions of dollars for an extra 2 weeks for them to invest. For example, it's like having free money in the bank to earn interest on for 2 weeks a month or 6 out of 12 months. It's not your money but you can earn interest off other people. The strategy is simple; just harass the new customers during the grace period to TRAIN them to pay early so you can use their money! If they can get customers to pay early, they will make millions off investing your money for those 2 weeks. WHAT A SCAM!!!

    Luisa then asked if I wanted to speak to a supervisor. I said NO, but I wanted her to write to her supervisor and mail me a copy of the letter. Of course, I got her badge number so we shall see if she follows through and what she says. The first question was to confirm my phone numbers when I called. The 2nd number she read had never been my number. I have no doubt after reading all the above posts they confirm your number from the start so they can harass you later. Okay, I have copy & pasted my report. Now, off to find other sites to lodge my complaint. I encourage you all to do the same. One place is called Rip Off Report & another is the BBB.

    I am a military retiree with a direct deposit/electronic transfer of a home loan from the U.S. government to NationStar. First Horizon held the mortgage for 12 years, no problem. NationStar takes over, and for the last two years, they claim late payments each month. Now they say the May 2013 payment was not made, and it's the 29th of that month.

    I called retiree military accounting and finance and was told that NationStar refused payment on the 3rd of May. Of course, NationStar denies this and wants proof. The military will not resend the payment so it will return to my account in 3 weeks. So payment will not be made.

    My loan went one month behind last year due to unforeseen financial issues. Up until then, I was not late for the five years that I had my mortgage with Nationstar, after my loan was transferred from another mortgage company. I requested a restructure twice and was told I could try, but they doubted it would go through. After living in my home for 47 years, I decided to let them foreclose on my property due to the homeowner's insurance being so high in the state of Florida, and the fact that they would not help me by restructuring the note.

    Then on Dec. 23, 2012, my home burned down due to an electrical short. Within two and a half weeks, my insurance company paid off in full on my policy. I called for a final payoff with Nationstar and received it by mail. I mailed them the payoff, the attorney fees for the foreclosure and a note saying to pay off the mortgage and send me my title as soon as possible. That was the third week of January. Then I received a letter and a phone call saying they would be glad to restructure my loan. A little late and I was not interested. On March 6th I received another call saying I owed another $380.00 for fees, but was assured that would take care of the remaining balance and I would be receiving my title soon.

    To make a long story short, I called again asking where my title was. I was told my money of $115,000.00 was put in a suspension account. Nothing was ever posted to my mortgage because they needed my signature on a small piece of paper saying the money was intended to pay off my note. Because of moving three times due to the fire, some of my mail may not have reached me, but my phone number is still the same and I did not receive a call from them regarding the issue. It took one employee, who has some brains, all day and he said he experienced the same problems I had in customer service (don't know, not their job, etc). He said he understood my frustration and he attempted to help me.

    He found the problem and had to get his boss involved in order to get the money out of the suspension fund and apply it to my loan. I was told it was taken care after he faxed me the necessary form that needed signing, and I faxed it right back within the hour. All of this took place in the middle of March. Then I find that they cannot pay it off because they were saying I owed another $1,400.00 for additional fees and late payments. Finally, the same employee went to his boss and ended up going through a total of 5 bosses to get the fees waived. The loan was considered paid on April 6, 2013. Now we are approaching June, still no title. I was told it was mailed, but the $520.00 check from the money in my escrow is still in processing and I need to call back in another 5 to 7 business days. Something about another $186.00 fee.

    I cannot sell my property without the title. I can see they are trying to cheat me out of the remaining money in my escrow account. I spent another one hour lunch break on Friday of last week, spoke to 3 different people telling them the same information only to find out the above regarding my check, which I was told should have been sent out before my title was mailed. It was supposed to have been mailed on May 18th. After reading some of the other stories on these reviews, I know this was not a first time error on their part with my mortgage. It is the way they do business. I would like to know who I can contact with the government that would be in charge of checking into these crooked mortgage companies.

    I have been working with Nationstar for almost two years (ever since my former mortgage company sold the loan to Nationstar). It was difficult from the beginning, but I am speaking on the phone right now with customer service (48 minutes, 45 seconds). This is my latest concern. In March 2013, I mailed my mortgage payment in ten days before the penalty date. On the due date, I received a call from Nationstar telling me that they did not receive the check. This was on 3/18/2013. I was told to call and cancel the check and to pay over the phone. I did exactly as they instructed. $35.00 fee for check hold from my bank and $15.00 fee for paying over the phone from Nationstar. I did avoid the $80.036 late fee. However, when I got my bank statement, my check had in fact been cashed on the 15th of March. I had double paid, had been charged the above fees and Nationstar did not inform me of the additional payment.

    Eventually, Nationstar credited me for the extra payment. My wife convinced me to set up automatic payment with this mortgage company. So now I am attempting to find out why my checking account was accessed two times on 4/3/2013 for the exact amount (my mortgage payment). The customer service rep has continually told me (comically five times) that I must have sent a check. I did not. When I asked to speak to her manager, I was put on hold. After some time, she told me no manager was available; but if I faxed my bank statement to 972-459-1611 proving I did not write a check, they would return the money withdrawn from my account. She assured me they would not double withdraw from my account again.

    We are refinancing, not to lower our rates, but to rid ourselves of this company. Because I am upset, I want to mention a scam Nationstar pulled on me last year. Without being told, my statement increased by around $250.00. No explanation. I called, another marathon telephone call, and was told my escrow did not cover the increased taxes and insurance that January. I was some $65.00 short. The rep told me that by law, they had the right to charge me 25% more than what was paid annually, which was reflected in the extra $250 a month!

    I was so upset that I paid an additional $2,000.00 just to cover the additional escrow. They mis-allocated the two grand towards principal and continued to charge the inflated escrow fee. It took two months and two phone calls to straighten it out, but I am still charged the outrageous escrow fee. I have literally lost hope of ever getting an answer for the mistakes and overcharges from Nationstar. Where is the regulation? My first time ever writing in to complain.

    My first experience with Nationstar was about 3 years ago. I got a letter stating that they were taking over my loan on the first of the month, and it was already the middle of the month. I had sent the payment to the previous servicer already. They told me I would have to pay them again and get my money back from the old servicer. I contacted the old servicer, which said that they had already forwarded my payment to Nationstar. I spent several months trying to straighten that one out. I finally sent a check to avoid late fees.

    In the meantime, they claimed that I had not made a second payment. Thinking it had been lost in the mail and not wanting to be 2 months behind, I mailed another payment. I was now 2 months ahead and not receiving credit. I mailed them a letter that I was not making any more payments until I get proper credit. After the next payment was over 30 days, they finally called. We went back and forth with payment dates and amounts, copies of cancelled checks and finally agreed that I had made the payments. I asked for a letter stating that in case I had credit reporting issues. They agreed. Before I got the letter from them, I got one from Roundpoint Mortgage saying they were taking over the loan. The amount they quoted did not include the 2 missing payments. I just quit making payments for over a year and they finally cashed out the loan at a huge discount.

    My second experience was with a different loan that I had previously modified before they took it over. When the modification expired, the payment jumped from $650 to $950. I only get $800 rent for this house. I contacted them and told them about it, and told them I needed another modification. They kept threatening to foreclose but didn't. After I was finally contacted by one Sara ** on 12/3/2013, I filled out all the paperwork and emailed it back to her. I later found out that they went ahead and foreclosed on 12/6/2013.

    I emailed a complaint. A couple of days later, they contacted me by phone and said that we might still be able to work something out. After emailing information back and forth for several days, a lot of it redundant, I told them I would like to see some progress. I haven't heard from them in several days now.

    My husband and I separated. He kept the house and became disabled. He now lives on a fixed income. I have been trying to help him receive a loan modification and have been getting the straight runaround with this company. I was only trying to help him, but now they have pissed me off. Even though I do not reside at this residence any more, I do have the resources and money to start a class action suit against this company, and I will so stay tune.

    I am currently in the process of applying for a loan modification with Nationstar Mortgage. Since it has just been submitted, I know nothing about what to expect. However, I can say that the way I have been treated over the last two months by Nationstar's personnel has been anything but indicative of the posts on this blog. Every agent with whom I have been in contact with has been courteous, professional, patient and helpful. In fact, I cannot think of one instance about which I could complain. I even sense a bit of compassion from these individuals and find myself telling them, "No! Thank you for your patience! You are doing me a favor!"

    I have every reason to believe that Nationstar and my contact, Mr. Marcus **, is sincerely working in my interest and on my behalf for a successfully accepted loan modification result. I am sorry that all these bloggers have had such disappointing experiences. If my loan mod goes through, I will not be surprised as its approval would be in direct concert with the service I have received from all those working for this institution (Mr. **, Hanna **, Mr. **, Ashley ** all all-stars!) I will re-post after I hear the verdict on my loan application. Thank you.

    Several years ago, I signed a Veteran's Deferral of my property taxes. Due to being a veteran's widow and being disabled myself, I was having a hard time making payments. Nationstar hired an outside firm to contact county tax offices and pay all outstanding property taxes. Before I go further, I have documented names and the name of this outside firm. I was never in escrow and signed a waiver when I refinanced with Centex Equity, which later became Nationstar Mortgage, and paid taxes and insurance myself. I had lost my job due to being disabled and signed a Veteran's Deferral Affidavit with my county, which states that my taxes will be paid upon my death or if my property is sold.

    This is my first home and I've been here for 30 years. I am in a wheelchair and have home health nurses in weekly to care for me. I was contacted by Nationstar that they had paid the taxes and I needed to pay them back, which was several thousand dollars. I didn't have that money and Nationstar told me to call the county tax appraiser's office. After several months of talking to both, I was able to get the county to return the money to Nationstar. After that, I was paying my normal monthly payment and I thought all was well. In 2011 I received another letter regarding my unpaid taxes and I again contacted Nationstar about this; sending them numerous copies of my Deferral Affidavit to the tax dept, escrow dept and other departments. None of these departments know what the other is doing and upon contact, all they say is they will put in a research and that's the end of it.

    I am in the same situation again. They have escalated my mortgage payment 200%, to an amount that I would not be able to pay my other bills including my car payment. My mortgage had been on time every month for several years and I cannot understand why I have to tell so many people my situation. For the age of computers, you would think that my file would be on their computer and they would read it before discussing it with me. That is not the case. I have to repeat myself every time I talk to someone. I had talked to one lady, who stated that she would make a new loan for me. I would not have to pay any late fees and it would include the $8,000+ taxes. My interest rate also would go down. When I called her again, she had been transferred and the man taking her place said she should have said all that.

    My situation at this moment is that I stopped paying my mortgage. I am taking a stand with these people. I live on Social Security and a small pension, and they know this. I have not paid my mortgage in 20 months now. I am still fighting and will continue to fight them with all I have. The company computer calls me almost every day, which is documented on my phone. I just hang up. The last letters I received were the same letter - a date a day apart and giving me two different names to contact. What a company! I surely would love a class action suit against them. This has stressed me out for years and I am now 65 years old.

    My realtor called Nationstar on Monday to get payoff on our house and said close date would be fine for Friday. They said if we didn't have it on the title company's fax 24 hours before close to call them back and expedite the payoff. Thursday morning, we still did not have it so we called Nationstar back. This time, they said expediting would take 48 hours. They told us they changed their policy on Wednesday and were sorry they did not let us know. So waiting at title company, I called again. One individual told us they had already faxed it and had confirmation. Next person told us it had not. A supervisor by the name of Anthony promised us it would be there. I took off work and both jobs require two weeks to get personal day approved. I wonder what Nationstar's policy is. They lied to us multiple times and failed to inform us that we may want to change our close date due to the fact that they were not ready. Everyone showed up but them.

    We fell behind on our home loan with BOA. When we called them to see what we could do, they refused to talk to us unless we paid them the $13000 we were behind. Two days later, in the mail, we got a letter from Nationstar saying they acquired the loan from BOA. We thought, "Great, maybe they will be willing to help us modify the loan." Things went great; we sent them all the paperwork they asked for and did everything they wanted. We moved fourty-five miles to get back in the property for the modification. We were then told it was denied because we did not reside on the property. We were told to send in a current copy of all utility bills and our driver's license that show the property as our address.

    We informed them it would take a month to get those bills; they said okay, to send them in when we get them and we could start the process all over again. Now nobody in their office returns calls or talks to us other than their automated system that says we need to call. Tonight, we got a letter saying we have thirty days till the house goes to auction and that we declined mediation. The amount we are behind magically jumped up almost 10000 dollars.

    Our loan was sold by Bank of America in April to Nationstar. First, we did not receive our welcome letter until well after the due date. I was able to contact the customer service department and make a no-charge telephone payment. That was nice but that's where anything nice ends. Since that time, I have received calls constantly - several times a day every day. I have ignored them because I always make my payment before the late charge date and make them online.

    Today, I decided to answer the calls to see why they were still calling as the payment had been made. It was someone from their refinance department trying to get us to refinance our loan. I told her that at this time we were not interested. About 2 hours later, I received another call from Nationstar. I answered it. I am quite sure it was the same girl, only this time she asked only for my husband. I told her he was unavailable but that I was his wife. She again asked if we were interested in refinancing. I told her I had already told a rep a few hours ago that we were not interested. Less than half an hour later, we received a third call, this time from a gentleman again asking us about refinancing. I got a little snippy this time and told him that this was the third call today and "No, we are not interested in refinancing!"

    At this point, even if we were, I would not refinance with these people. If this is the kind of harassment we have to look forward to with this company, we will be checking out refinancing, but it will not be with them.

    Unlike the many comments I've read here, our story is a bit different. Our first mortgage was originally with Greenpoint before being sold to Nationstar. Our property is an investment property that became vacant last June. We were unable to keep up the payment and finally decided to list it as a short sale. Both our realtor and ourselves contacted Nationstar to advice and coordinate the short sale, and all the necessary paperwork was completed and forwarded to them. The contract with the buyer was also sent for review and acceptance. This was in mid January of 2013. There was no response from them so both our realtor and then ourselves began trying to make contact with their short sale department.

    The short story is this: we were bounced around to different departments, told we couldn't be found in the system, and then told all our paperwork and the contract was lost and would have to be submitted again. In the meantime, we were sent a notice that our home was being foreclosed and a trustee sale would take place on July 30th. Presently, we are still trying to contact them, but our realtor has advised us to do what Nationstar calls a Cash for Keys, which is what most lenders call a Deed in Lieu. Our realtor doesn't have a dime on this, and a Deed in Lieu is much like a foreclosure; it stays on your credit report for 7 years.

    BOA did not provide us with 30 days written notification as required by law. We received the notification 10 days prior to the transition. We have received nothing from Nationstar. We had no loan number or anything to reference so that our payment would post properly. I contacted them yesterday. First, they could not find us in their system. After 15 minutes of providing them information, they found it. They state that because of the payment structure we had with BOA that we did not have a payment due for May.

    I asked if they offered the same options as BOA, and they had a similar option and transferred me to a different department. I spoke with a gentleman named Brian who began asking me very strange questions such as: What was our original loan amount for? What was the weekly amount payable? What was the principal balance? I asked him why he didn't have that information, and he said that he worked in a different department. I asked if he was an employee of Nationstar and he said yes. After giving him some information, he forwarded me some forms to enroll in the Equity Accelerator Program. The domain name provided in the email was from paymap.com. I asked him again if he was an employee of Nationstar, and he replied with yes. I told him that I would not agree to anything and would review the information with my husband. He was rather indignant that I agree to the terms. I hung up.

    After discussing the situation with my husband, we started doing some online research and found some pretty astonishing complaints about them and that they are in fact a 3rd party contractor for Nationstar, but not an actual division. It gets better. After reading this, I contacted customer service at Nationstar last night at 7:45pm. I spoke with a gentleman and explained our concerns and how our mortgage situation is unclear. He stated that our welcome packet was mailed out on the 14th. I requested to speak with a supervisor. I was on hold for 48 minutes and when he got back on the line, he said that the supervisor was still assisting another client. He said that the supervisor would call me back last night or first thing this morning. I never got the call back.

    I called this morning and the young lady I spoke to ran circles around everything that I was saying. I explained that I even tried to sign up on their website and it did not recognize our information. She didn't even offer to try to help or even suggest trying to connect me with technical support. Folks, there is a serious disconnect here on both parts. BOA and Nationstar are both at fault. If you read all of the comments on here, BOA is selling mortgages at different times, whether it be December, March, April or May. Are they selectively selling mortgages? Nationstar obviously does not have their act together either.

    I was assured by the young lady this morning that everything would be fine and that we would not have any issues. I explained to her about the number of complaints posted here as well as what has been posted about paymap.com. I am with the rest of you and the best thing for everyone to do is to find a different lender ASAP! I have already been in touch with our real estate agent to help us. I am going to lodge a complaint with the BBB right away and encourage you all to follow. Hopefully, we will be able to get away from these idiots.

    I never used to think much about my mortgage company. I mean I send them a payment each month and they take care of the rest, right? Then my Bank of America loan got transferred to Nationstar Mortgage this spring. Now, in just over a month, I've had to deal with them acting like they've received payments only after lengthy delays, a payment placed in suspense where it doesn't get applied toward anything, abysmal customer service where everyone seems to tell me something different, and a horrific payoff system (because I finally decided to use all of my savings just to try to extricate myself from this horrible company) that strings you along as long as possible while they continue to collect interest and try to find ways to charge fees.

    Even as I type this, they have more money from me in suspense and in escrow than I owe them on my loan, but somehow the loan remains open and interest continues to accrue. If customers had choices about mortgage companies, Nationstar would close in a heartbeat. Unfortunately, Nationstar can buy loans from other banks without customer approval, then try every sleazy method imaginable to collect fees and extra interest to which they aren't legitimately entitled. I used to be a happy man, then my mortgage got switched to Nationstar, and now I want to kick puppies. This company deserves class action lawsuits at best, mobs with pitchforks at worst.

    Our mortgage was sold to Nationstar sometime in late March. We received a payment form from Bank of America in late March for the April payment which my wife paid. We then got a payment form from Nationstar also for the April payment. On the 3rd of April, I got an auto dialer call from Nationstar stating they had not received the April payment. I told them that my wife had paid it to Bank of America since we received their statement prior to one from Nationstar. I was asked to arrange for another payment to Nationstar over the phone.

    I told them that the payment had been made to Bank of America since we had no idea when the switch was to take effect and assumed it was not for April due to the statement from BOA. I was informed by the caller from Nationstar that the payment was past due. I informed them that we were well within the grace period (it was only the 3rd on April). I was told that actually since the payment is due on the 2nd that the payment was past due. My wife called Nationstar that evening and explained what had happened with that April payment. She was informed to get a copy of the bank statement showing that payment, along with the check number and fax it to Nationstar once the check cleared.

    Beginning the next day, I still received daily calls from Nationstar informing me that the April payment had not been received. Even though my wife had talked with them informing them what had happened and had agreed to send them what they required concerning that payment. I was informed that once the 2nd had passed, that their auto dialer system placed calls to any customers who were passed the actual payment date, even if not past or near the grace period. I received these calls daily along with nearly daily noticed through the mail.

    My wife has since sent the required documentation to Nationstar for the April payment. Once May 3rd arrived, I began getting daily calls about the May payment, even though we are well within the grace period along with nearly daily mailed notices. I was even called at 3:30pm on this past Sunday on Mother's Day. What kind of shady company is this and why am I being harassed over payments that aren't even close to being legally late? This company worries me as I have read nothing but bad dealing with them. I am also tired of being harassed. We have never made a late mortgage payment.

I called the President’s office, spoke with his assistant, and told her how angry I was to the point of a lawsuit and contacting the MI Attorney General’s office. She flipped me to a Latasha ** in Compliance; whatever that means. She had to call me back since her system wasn't up. She said the call was being recorded for quality assurance purposes, to which I scoffed at and said, "More like pull later for legal reasons.

    They just bought this portfolio. I've never had a call within the 15-day due to late period and won't stand for it now; especially when I got my first call from them 2 days after April 1st. And now, on Sundays? I always make my payments between the 1st and 15th and have never gotten calls from Countrywide, BOA or anyone ever. They also say they don't charge late fees before the 15th, but that's a lie. They use Western Union for online payments, which do charge fees; so they lied again.

    My mortgage was sold from BOA to Nationstar in December. I have to say I was pretty excited about that. Wrong! The letter stated that all loan needs after 12/3/2012 would be serviced by Nationstar, so I sent my December payment to BOA. After receiving my welcome packet from Nationstar days before January 1, I sent my January payment. A few weeks later, I received calls asking where my January payment was. I reminded them of my 12/31/2012 payment. They said that was December's payment. I went on to tell them that I made my December payment to BOA as it was prior to 12/3/2012. They said BOA shows no record of that payment. The nice gentleman opens a research request for me, tells me this has happened a lot and sends me on my way.

    A few days later, I received an email asking for a bank statement and a front and back copy of the cashed check or the electronic submission confirmation from my bank. Seems reasonable so I sent both. Never heard anything for a month, yet still getting calls as if my payments are late even though they are on time. It got to the point in February where I was speaking to someone who could do nothing for me for about 45 minutes at least twice a week. Then I get another email from the research department asking for the cancelled check. Mind you, the research department has no phone number or email. They can only be reached by fax and customer service has no idea how to even reach this department. I started to wise up and correspond via fax that there was no check, so I could not give them one. But that I sent them the electronic submission confirmation that states paid.

    A week later, nothing but more harassing phone calls. I finally emailed Consumer Affairs and immediately the research department sent me a message that if I go to my bank and get a bank officer to sign a bank letterhead paper stating that Bank of America cashed the check, we can proceed. I went to the bank. They laughed at me. They told me all they could offer me was everything I had already sent them. It wouldn't say paid if the payment wasn't accepted. And unless they went through legal, they can't sign their name to anything that is not bank official.

    So that's that. I'm at a loss. My last ditch effort was to send a final fax stating that if that was not a ridiculous request, that they could send me on Nationstar letterhead a statement that BOA provided more proof than my bank statement and submission confirmation, that my payment was never made, and that I need it signed by a manager with a direct line to reach them.

    My loan was acquired by Nationstar in late 2009/early 2010. While I was not happy about this, there was little to nothing that I felt I could do about it. While I have been a customer w/ Nationstar, I have made all of my monthly payments on time. This past September, I accidentally typed in the wrong amount for Bill Pay, coming from my checking account and was short about $100.

    I recently pulled my credit report and saw that Nationstar reported me 30 days late for September, even though I had made my payment - in September. I contacted their Customer Relations department (what a joke) to be informed that if I submitted a letter of explanation with a copy of the three credit bureaus showing for this month that I was reported late, my request would be taken under consideration and it could be waived.

    After almost three weeks of not hearing anything, I called them to follow up and was told, again by their CR dept., that Nationstar does not waive negative reports submitted to bureaus and even though I had made all of my mortgage payment but the $100 they did not process my payment until October when the difference was paid. So whether the account was $5 or $100+ off, if full payment is not received, I am assessed a late fee and reported to all three bureaus.

    Wow! Again, I admit my wrong by typing the incorrect amount but when looking at my history and how much I have paid, $100 is only pennies to both them and me. In addition, if there was no consideration b/c the full payment was not received, why was I informed by the initial representative that it would be? Is this how good, hardworking and honest customers are valued and treated by Nationstar? One very innocent mistake and Nationstar will give the decree of - Off with your head?!

    While my mortgage was indeed paid in the month of September, Nationstar elected to sit on it and not apply the funds to the account until October. Why? Because of a measly $100 mistake, now I pay the price long term with my credit score. Nationstar is not an ethical company and couldn't care less about their customers! Nationstar's focus is not customer service but that of customer punishment. If considering them for a loan, buyer be aware!

    My BOA loan (1st mortgage) was sold to Nationstar on 04/01/2013. I had been making a 1st and 2nd mortgage to BOA and assumed Nationstar took over both loans. On April 1st, I sent two checks, one for each loan and marked each accordingly with previous loan number to avoid confusion. Ten days later, I realized Nationstar only assumed the 1st mortgage. I called Nationstar to explain what happened. I was requested to send a letter of the issue and bank docs showing check had cleared the bank. I have sent docs three times and made six phone calls (each lasting approx. 45 minutes), and all I get is “we apologize and you will need to talk with someone else”. Each person I talk to has no clue of what to do and more apologies. This is the worst customer service I have ever encountered. In my business, I would have lost my job by now.

    My loan was sold to Nationstar from BOA effective April 1. I'm selling my house, settlement date is May 13. On May 1, the loan processor called to get my payoff information. By May 7, it still wasn't sent. They refused to release the info because I had 2 different names for my same Social Security number (names changed by marriage). When I called May 7, they promised to fax the payoff. On May 9, I called to confirm and that's when they told me they still hadn't sent it because of the name issue. I told them I need the payoff before May 13 and to fax the payoff to me immediately. By the way, every time I called, I get someone with a very heavy East Indian accent.

    My first experience with this reassignment of loan to Nationstar started when I received a statement of delinquent taxes from my village. Our mortgage payment contains an escrow payment which goes toward paying the village taxes. I expected a smooth transition from what Bank of America communicated to us and a promise of no-change. Nationstar already told me that by policy, they deemed insufficient the escrow payment previously in place with BofA. Why? Well, because they say so and they have every right to do so, said their staff. Getting through to speak to someone is very frustrating.

    Their website shows us having to pay a different amount than what we've paid so far. They say their records are not yet up-to-date, after 2 months! On their papers, Nationstar writes they are also a collection agency.Where have we landed? Are we now in the hands of predatory mortgage processors? I am left with that feeling "run like hell (away from these people)".

    Mortgage was with Bank of America and recently changed to Nationstar. I was told to send payments to them after April 1, 2013. Behind the scenes, they arbitrarily increased my mortgage amount by $5 which caused a past due balance. To be fair, they did not charge me a late fee, but when I called, they could not justify the reason for the $5 increase - they also told me the escrow review calculation was not done yet, so that is not the reason. FYI, it was absolute hell getting through their automated phone system to get to a live person, plus the wait - it took me 15 minutes. Hitting zero did not work either.

    My gut tells me it is a "ploy" to capitalize on people who are a bit sloppy with their bill paying and may not notice or pay attention to the $5 past due. I can guarantee the next month though the late fee will hit them. I caught it early and got it resolved, but based on other complaints I read, this seems to be a trick they do to generate revenue via late fees. They told me I will not get a credit ding because of this BS, but it will get ugly if I do.

    My mortgage has now changed servicers 4 times and now I, like everyone, else appear to have landed in the hands of a company I don't want to do business with. This process should be outlawed without the mortgagee's consent. It seems the only thing to do is watch them very closely and share our experiences here.

    We received a ratified purchase contract from Nationstar on 11 March 13 after a minor bidding war. I have excellent credit, sufficient income, and residual VA loan entitlement. Nationstar owns the foreclosed property we are buying, and offered 3% towards closing, but only if we used them as our lender - big mistake! The contract closing date was "on or before" 10 May 13 (60 days). From day one, the loan originator was unresponsive to my realtor. Not just a little unresponsive, we are talking communication blackout! So I had to attempt to communicate with them on my own. I haven't gotten too much farther. Voice mail messages and phone calls were completely ignored and emails often went days/weeks without replies.

    Their voice mail recordings and emails instruct you to contact their managers for immediate assistance with pressing matters. I have emailed or called and left messages with managers in both the origination department and the processing department no less than 30 separate times, with no reply in almost 56 days (and counting). I'm not even sure they exist. I was pressing the originator from the beginning for an earlier closing date to lessen the hardship on my family. They told me that the VA appraisal process was usually the culprit for late/delayed closings, and if the VA appraised the property in a timely manner, we could potentially close as early as April 29th.

    The VA appraisal was completed on 20 March 13; so the 29 April closing date looked promising right!? Wrong! It took approximately 25 days from the date of the VA appraisal for Nationstar to email me the preliminary mortgage application documents, most of which I had already completed online many weeks earlier. I returned the package within 24 hrs. After almost 2 more weeks of unresponsiveness from the originator, I was able to solicit the contact information for the loan processor from him. Despite numerous emails and phone calls for status updates, I got limited or no response from either the processor or her management.

    When the processor finally did respond a few days before the 29th, it was to inform me that the loan was rejected by underwriting because I was not eligible for VA benefits due to the fact that I already owned a VA backed property in another state. I had to reeducate her on VA eligibility and county loan limits. Additionally, I had to contact the VA regional service center and literally arrange a one-on-one conversation between the processor and the VA rep so the VA could explain the second tier benefit process to them - information they should already know!! When is it ever okay for a customer to have to educate a lender on facets of the banking industry? Don't answer that. Needless to say, April 29th has come and gone.

    The loan is now back in underwriting after the VA debacle. It is now 7 May (3 days before closing) and I still do not have an approved loan. I left another message with the processor's management today. Her voice mail said she would respond within 24 hrs. That's what it said 30+ days ago as well. I'm spent. With no end in sight, I write this and hope I can spare someone the frustration I've endured and continue to endure. If you have a choice and one of them is Nationstar, choose the other one!

    After many phone calls, the harassing letters stopped. However, Nationstar continued to send me letters that don't make sense. The most disturbing thing is whether on phone calls or letters, Nationstar invariably declares, "This is an attempt to collect a debt ...," which is in violation of the statement on the FTC website, "Your mortgage servicer is considered a debt collector only if your loan was in default when the servicer acquired it."

    My house was damaged by hurricane Irene. I went through the painful process of adjustors, insurance and dealing with how to get it repaired through the Bank of America process of hold funds, inspect, release small amount, inspect and so on. Not 6 months after it was fixed, I was hit with even more damage with hurricane Sandy. This was 3 times the damage and even harder problems to deal with for insurance, but at least I knew what to expect to repair it with Bank of America. My claim was finally settled last month. The bank paid me the initial funds they were forced to by the government and set me up with the process to handle the claim and for inspectors, etc. Not 3 weeks after that, they transferred my mortgage and my loan to Nationstar mortgage.

    Now Nationstar is claiming that Bank of America gave them no information and I have to go through it all over with them. And worse than that, they are forcing me to do things their way and I can't. It's too late. I can't go back in time and inspect the money I've already spent on repairing the house. I can't use the contractors they are demanding as I've already started. So basically, they are saying that I can't have the rest of the money to finish repairs because I haven't given them contracts and copies of contractor licenses, etc. I'm not a licensed contractor, but I can repair my house and I have been doing that because the insurance wouldn't pay for all the damage. So in order to fully restore it, I had to cut labor costs and do some of it myself.

    They say they don't allow it, but I didn't know that because I didn't pick them. I was using the other bank's policy which does allow that as long as I prove I'm doing the work. So Nationstar is now saying even if they send an inspector and he says the work is 90% done, they won't release the rest of the funds because I didn't send them a contractor contract, license and all that stuff. They want to charge me for their own demanded inspection too. Bank of America never charged me for those inspections. They are making interest off the insurance money they got and now they refuse to let me have it ever. Now I can't finish my house.

    All this time I am paying off my mortgage on time. It is at a high interest rate and it is on a house that isn't worth anything. I can't live in it due to the damage and I am stuck with no recourse. They should be honoring the deal I had with Bank of America. They should not be allowed to do this. It's not right.

    After 3 months of phone calls to dispute a charge under "other" of $12, we were told we would be credited. Guess what? 90 days later and no credit. When we called Christian in Customer Service and asked, he explained where this credit was and also wanted an explanation of why our monthly statement showed us making a payment of more than twice the amount of the normal payment. We were put on hold and finally disconnected by this Christian person at Nationstar. Our mortgage was unfortunately sold to this incompetent company over a year ago, and now we can't get assistance with a simple statement that they generated. We can't wait to get rid of these people!

    After contacting me for help with my mortgage and stating that they would assist me in refinancing my home, I was taken through weeks of paperwork and sending in requested documents about my personal finances and assured that I would be contacted as soon as the underwriter approved the application. Well, that didn't happen and after waiting 2 days for a follow-up call, I finally called the agent who was working with me to be told. She thought that someone else was supposed to call me and tell me why I wasn't approved. Well, this person never called either. Knowing in the beginning that I was having problems with my financial situation, they cited my credit as the reason for the failure of approval. I could have told them that in the beginning and saved myself a lot of needless aggravation. Next time, thanks but no thanks. Keep your help.

    We have been trying to get a loan modification since December 2012. They faxed the forms to me on December 14, 2012, and we filled them out and mailed them back, along with all documentation, on December 20, 2012. I called them on January 14, 2013, and was told the packet had been received and the case was then opened. I heard nothing from them for 2 months, so I called them in March and was told they needed some additional documents, which I then provided. I called a week later and was told they needed more documents. I sent them the documents and waited another week.

    Now it's April and they still did not call so I called them and now they tell me we need to fill out another packet because the original one expired. Every week, they tell me they need more documents, updated pay stubs, etc. It never ends! We feel that they have no intention of helping us get the modification. I never get the same person to talk to and when I asked to talk to someone in the Underwriting Department, I was told they do not have a phone. Really?! We are fed up with Nationstar. Unfortunately we are stuck with them since we were sold to them from Bank of America and we are going through bankruptcy.

    Still waiting for the welcome package from Nationstar. I had to contact them to find my new loan number so I could make my payment on time. Did what they originally said and used my BOA loan number when paying, and Nationstar refused to accept my payment. It took forever to find what my new loan number is. Still have not received the welcome package and it is almost May 2013 - 2 months later. Then I wanted to refinance from a 6.56 interest rate. I was told by their professional loan rep that I could and that the cost would only be $20.00 for credit check. Credit is in the 800's. After talking to their professional loan rep, who told me my total out of pocket costs would only be $20.00, she mailed me a packet showing closing of costs over $3,500. I wanted a 15-year fixed and they would only quote me over a 30-year interest rate for a 15-year loan. Told me I should be happy since it would lower my existing rate regardless.

    Rate for a 15-year should have been 2.5% at the time. They would only give me a 15-year loan at 3.75% - APR 4%. Closing costs were over $3,500. I called and asked her why I was not being charged a higher rate and exorbitant closing costs, and for their loan rep to please put her reasons in writing so I could better understand. She refused. I sent a letter of complaint to Nationstar and to this day I have had no response. They sent me a letter telling me I had 2 weeks to accept their refinance terms or they were closing my file. Didn't accept. They need to be checked out by the State Attorney's office or someone. Too many complaints.

    For all of you that have recently had your loan servicing rights transferred to Nationstar, I suggest you begin the refinance process ASAP. Nationstar is a shady, deceitful company and will employ deviant tactics to make you appear as if you're behind on your mortgage. They are a predatory lender and they make their money off of foreclosing on your home. I took out a conventional mortgage and put 20% down when I purchased. I've had my home for 4 years. My loan servicing rights were transferred to Nationstar after a year and that's when all the trouble began.

    Mind you, I was never behind on my mortgage and never once paid a day late. My payment was always due the first of the month and I never paid later than the first - 90% of the time it was earlier. Since I had put 20% down, I did not need an escrow account. I always paid my taxes and insurance on my own, and never fell behind. There was never a lapse in coverage and property taxes were never late. I always provided them with proof of coverage as requested and have Nationstar on file as the lender of record with my insurance agent (which doesn't matter legally because your insurance agent will always add ISAOA, which means "its successors and/or assigns") since mortgages are transferred all the time.

    Bottom line, 3 months after my loan was transferred to them and after providing them with my proof of coverage 3 times, they proceeded to open another homeowner's policy on my behalf. Then they increased my mortgage payment by $400+/month (yes, the policy they added was 3+ times what I paid on my own). I refused to pay the additional escrow amount they added because I had already paid my insurance and taxes on my own. Then they started to say I was late on my payments because I wasn't making a full payment. They added late fees, put negative marks on my credit and didn't apply payments (holding them in suspense accounts).

    To make a long story short, I spent 6 months writing letters the Better Business Bureau, the Attorney General, and the State Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs. I finally got everything resolved about a year ago. Then three months later, they started right where they left off with the same bag of tricks. This time I spent the same 6 months writing letters to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, the Attorney General, and the Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs. But since I knew they would never stop trying to take my home, I decided to refinance in January. Since I was diligent in dealing with this company, I was able to maintain and protect my good credit. Don't let them get you backed into a corner. If they get you to where they've dinged your credit, you won't be able to refinance. They know this. And they will do anything possible to put you there.

    Don't wait until it's too late. Get away from these scam artists ASAP. It did cost me money in the end since I had to pay closing costs for the refi, which I feel Nationstar should have to pay since it was their negligence that forced me to refinance, but either way at least I don't have to worry about losing my home (at least until my servicing rights get transferred back to them again. Knock on wood!). I would love to see a lawsuit brought against this company. Good luck to those of you who recently inherited this mess!

    I found out today that Bank of America sold our mortgage to NationStar March 29, but we received no notification that this transfer had taken place. Bank of America claims that something was sent, but it never reached us. All we did receive were days of phone calls from NationStar, a company we never heard of and did not know if they were real or a fictional construct to scam people. The speaker refused to tells us why they are calling or deviate from some written speech. We had no idea what NationStar is and no idea that they were even a mortgage company.

    The company presents itself like an internet scam that has chosen to use the phone to catch people off guard and refuses to tell you that they have your mortgage or that you now have the misfortune to be affiliated with their company. We received no mailings from the company and no emails, just uninformative, harassing phone calls that interfere with our work. The only way I found out was to search their name and then check if my Bank of America mortgage account was still open. Now I see that the auto withdrawal for mortgage payment has not been made from my account, and who knows what trouble that will cause.

    Being a Nationstar customer, my humble advice is, please, please think again if you are moving or planning to move to Nationstar (and if they are offering 0% interest rate, it's up to you). I setup the online ACH payment for my mortgage and the next day, I got a call from Nationstar saying my mortgage is due. I told the agent that I already set it up to pay online and he insisted, "Pay by phone." Then I asked the agent if that would end up in a double payment. He assured me that wouldn't happen and that was on a Friday. The following Monday, I realized that my concern was real and they charged twice. The story began now.

    I called customer service (the customer service by phone really sucks). After hours and hours of trying, I got a human at the other end and explained the situation that Nationstar charged my checking acct. twice and hence my checking acct. was negative and they were charging $35 for each bounced check as well as scheduled bill payments. He asked me to wait and I waited and waited. That was it. He was gone. I called again and after many trials, I got another lady and explained from scratch and she asked me to send a signed letter explaining the situation, bank statements, etc., to a fax number and she told me that it would take a week.

    After the call, only then did I realize that I already wrote many checks before all this happened and they might come for collection. So I called again and asked for a turnaround time. The lady said that it'll be 3 days. After the 4th day and with no sign of my money back in my checking acct., I called them again to find a status and now they are saying it will take 10+ days. I literally don't know what to do as my next pay check will arrive only after 2 weeks, in order to make my checking acct. to a positive balance. I'm still waiting for those guys. I'm not asking for their mercy. Rather, I'm asking just my money back that they charged twice falsely. So, it's your turn to decide whether to go with Nationstar or a bank with higher interest rate (I'd go with the latter).

Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, which deals directly with the misplaced payments and customer service issue, and the Federal Trade Commission deals with the escrow servicing.

When I called Nationstar (and finally managed to find the right option to speak to someone - Option 2 by the way), I was told that I needed to fax proof from my bank that their mistake caused me to go into overdraft before they would return the overpayment to my account! This was their mistake, not mine.

    I specifically asked if I needed to stop payment on the check and they said that all of the checks sent by former BOA customers were going to be voided b/c they didn't have their Nationstar Mortgage # on them (because we haven't gotten that info yet).

    In Dec '12, my loan was transferred to Nationstar. That’s when the nightmare began. BOA had placed me in foreclosure and I paid all fees and monies due in 2 weeks to get out. The same week was when my loan was transferred. Nationstar repeatedly called for past due fees to be paid. I set up a conference call with BOA and Nationstar so BOA could tell them all fees were paid and I was current, and BOA had sent all monies due to Nationstar. Now in March, I received a $445 fee for legal fees due to a foreclosure. And they are claiming that they never received a paid in full letter from BOA, and the rep I spoke with said he can’t comment on a call he was not a party to.

    Also, I have received two $12 inspection fees so far since April. They say they are allowed to charge these fees per terms of the loan. But in 4 years, BOA never charged me for these fees. No one can actually tell me what these fees are for, or how they are inspecting the property. Also, every time you call, you get someone new. They don't enter notes in your file so you have to explain everything again and then wait for a call that you never get. Join Nationstar Sucks on Facebook.

    I too had a similar experience as a recently placed review/complaint. I had mortgage with Bank of America. About second week of March 2013, I received a farewell letter from Bank of America. In the packet, there was an address to send payment to Nationstar for April 2013. At end of March 2013, when I did my online payment for bills for April 2013, I still had not received Nationstar's welcome packet; thus, I did not have a new loan number. About the last day of March 2013, I received the welcome packet. I went back into bank online payment to set payee for Nationstar with the new loan number, new address (PO box) and set payment. It went out on April 2, 2013 and it cleared.

    A few days later, I set up to log in to Nationstar and saw it hadn't been received. Just recently I realized on April 10 that it had been returned to my checking account. Now I had to use one of Nationstar's billing methods - none of which I agree with. They all have a fee. I chose Western Union Speedpay. They charged me a fee of $9.95. I have been paying a mortgage since 1980's and have never had to pay a fee to send in a loan payment. Nationstar sets program that if it is sent on or after the 10th day of each month, the owner is forced to pay a service fee (online). I think they will only accept online payments (from banks also) for the first nine days with no fee. This is in conflict with the fact that there is a 16-day grace period. Also, I have sent at least 2 within Nationstar's contact us messages and have not heard back.

    I agree with what a previous person said. It is as if Nationstar wants us to miss a month's payment/default. I too have never ever been late on a mortgage payment. I have never had to try two times to send in one payment. I would very much appreciate it if some agency would explore Nationstar to see why they sent out welcome packets so late (received them when payment was due) and why they charge for online payments on the 10th day on, when we have 16 days for grace period.

    Why are so many of us, customers, unhappy? It seems like the only people we can call and talk to is customer service. I have never in the past used Western Union Speedpay for a bill. I only do bills online with online banking. It seems really odd to me to expect people to pay through Western Union and MoneyGram. Those are the choices or by phone (with a fee, of course). Then there is regular mail. This is the first time to have such a rough start with a mortgage company.

    My loan servicer was transferred/sold from BOA to Nationstar Mortgage as of April 1, 2013. I was informed of the transfer through a goodbye letter from BOA 3 weeks prior to the transfer. The letter stated that I will receive further communication from the new servicer including my new loan/account number. What a fraud. My payment is due and I have received nothing. No correspondence from the new servicer. I do not know my new loan #. There is no physical location anywhere to go make a direct payment, and on top of that, I tried calling and they are closed on Saturdays. No correspondence. This is very deceitful in my opinion. I have never missed a mortgage payment and this experience as well as all other complaints I read above seem to indicate that they are working hard to make you default or have a late payment. This is absolutely unacceptable behavior. I cannot believe that with the amount of complaints against this company's business practices, nothing is being done to correct or slap their hand.

    In February 2013, we were seven years into our Countrywide / Bank of America mortgage. We paid online every month. We were never late and we had never applied for any loan refinancing or modification. When we received our "Dear John" letter from Bank of America, I was insulted, but only slightly concerned about being transferred to a new mortgage servicer. After waiting for, but never receiving, the elusive "welcome" package from Nationstar, we mailed a cashier's check for our April payment to Nationstar on April 2nd. While waiting for our payment to arrive, I decided to do some research about our new mortgage company. After reading negative review upon negative review online, I began to worry. My husband made two calls to Nationstar, talked to two polite customer service reps, and our payment finally posted to our account this morning (Saturday, April 13). We set up an online account after our first call to Nationstar, and all the information posted online is accurate.

    So far, everything has gone fairly smoothly, if not quickly with Nationstar. I will be keeping careful records of all future dealings, though.

    We purchased our home through Countrywide Mortgage in 2006. After the first couple of years, the loan was sold to Bank of America. I was apprehensive, but that transition was seamless and Bank of America was always helpful if I had to contact them. We have a 30-year fixed loan but have been sending extra payments (four times amount due) and were on track to pay the mortgage off in five years or less. I sent them a payment on March 15, 2013 and received a letter in the mail the next day that our mortgage had been sold to Nationstar.

    I tried calling Nationstar but after 20 minutes of trying could not find my way to a real person on their automated phone system. The letter received on March 16 said we would be getting a welcome packet from Nationstar. I received a mail from Nationstar three times over the next week but none of it was the promised welcome packet and none of it provided our new loan number. Without the new loan number, I couldn't make the payment which was due on April 1, so I tried again to call them. After 45 minutes, I was finally able to reach a real person. She said not to worry, the payment wasn't actually late until the 16th, but I would receive courtesy calls daily if it was not received by the 1st. Daily?

    It was too late to get a payment in the mail that day, so I mailed a payment on April 2 (just the amount due) and sure enough, on April 5th, I received one of their courtesy calls. When I answered, it was a machine telling me to call Nationstar immediately about my account. No other information. My payment had been mailed on April 2 so I didn't worry about it. I checked my own bank account today (April 12) and my check to Nationstar cleared on April 9, long before the April 16 deadline to be considered on time. But when I got home, my statement was in my mailbox and showed that my April payment was past due and I owed two months on May 1st.

    I called them and after 20 minutes of dealing with their automated system, finally got to a real person. She has apologized for that being on my statement said it should not have been on there but said don't worry about it. She showed that my April payment was credited to my account. So far, everything I've experienced with this company has been totally screwed up, so them telling me don't worry about it for the umpteenth time is not very reassuring. We are in the process of trying to refinance with another company. At this point, any company would be preferable to Nationstar.

    At the end of 2011, I applied for a modification with Bank of America. I completed all of the required payments, and my payments were on time for the 4 months that was required for the modification. In December 2012, I received documents from Bank of America that my modification was complete and my first payment for the modification was to be made in January. Also in December, I received notice that Bank of America was no longer my mortgage carrier, and I needed to make all payments to Nationstar.

    After contacting Nationstar, I was notified that I was behind on my current mortgage payments and they had no paperwork indicating the modification. On December 24, I spent $94 faxing over all requested documents, and I was advised that all of Bank of Americas modifications were going to be honored. Today is April 8, 2013, and Nationstar advised me on April 4, 2013 that my ex-husband had three judgments against him, and therefore it was on my title and they needed more time to complete the documents for modification.

    Each time I call, I'm placed on hold and transferred to multiple individuals, and each person advises me of the past due amount, but no one is able to tell me where I stand in the process. On April 11, 2013, my ex-husband contacted all the companies that "had judgements against him". He was advised that he was the wrong person, and all information should have been verified by his social security number. I contacted Nationstar to advise them of this information, and the rep told me that the title company that they use do not cross reference the social security number to the said person that has a judgment against them. She told me that I'm able to pull my own title and fax to them showing a clear title. She also stated that they have had lots of customers who state the same thing about mismatched information.

    I'm pissed. A title in my state cost $250. That's extra money I do not have. I'm stressed out, and I find myself crying because I'm just being fed information to just get me off the phone. I have contacted legal aid today; however, I have no clue when I will get a call back. This company is full of it. I feel like this company is trying to take my home.

I called repeatedly to get welcome package but could not get an acct. number/info to mail mortgage payments.

As soon as the welcome letter arrived on April 2nd, I started getting daily robocalls harassing me for payment. I have never once been late on any payments in more than 40 years.

    I called Nationstar's customer service more than once to complain, but the representative told me they cannot stop the continuous robocalls on a daily basis. Today, April 11, 2012, I spoke to the customer service supervisor, Ashley, who repeatedly used the excuse that the calls were courtesy calls. They need to learn this behavior is not okay. I intend to pursue all legal rights to stop the clearly abusive harassment calls from Nationstar which has a long term pattern of repeatedly robo-calling customers on a daily basis starting on the 4th of every month.

    Under consumer protection rights, most state laws prohibit the use of harassment and abusive collection tactics. For example, in Texas, the activities of debt collectors are regulated by the Texas Debt Collection Act. The Act prohibits the use of fraudulent and abusive collection tactics by individuals or corporations to obtain payment on outstanding debts against a debtor including using the telephone to harass debtors by calling anonymously or making repeated or continuous calls.

    As a Realtor I would never allow my buyer to use Nationstar in a purchase transaction. With a 30-day closing date, they have no commitment to perform and get the deal closed on time. Calls have been met with "We are doing our best". That's scary. Extending the closing date 10 days did no good; they now want over two additional weeks but cannot commit even to meeting that deadline. My suggestion to any buyer has always been - and remains - to use a local lender that you can walk in their office or at least call and converse with. The long distance thing seems to give lenders a sense of invincibility and protection. Promises, promises.

There have been FTC code violations, Truth in Lending violations, constant servicing issues. I have written, faxed, emailed, and called Nationstar and it is always the same story. Either they have no idea what is going on or they start harassing me for information they already have. They do not respond within the FTC window for answering complaints or they do not respond at all.

    After the predatory lending and I was coerced into signing documents that were not the right ones, I have endured being a hostage. All I wanted was what they promised, a fixed rate mortgage that was affordable and the right to live in my home without being harassed. I tried every way possible and each time was given false information and told that they never said anything about a fixed rate and they held my payments until they were late so they could report me for delinquency. The last modification that was offered was ridden with clauses so that I could not have any other route and they said, "Sign or we foreclose."

    So, here I am, with chronic health issues and a family and even through every step of the way, Nationstar has found a way to Segway to a foreclosure. I am desperate to find a solution and Nationstar will do anything to keep me from a solution as I await foreclosure papers. I am tired of this company and they should not even be in business. Every move Nationstar makes is a move that is a benefit for them.

While it took a lot longer than I anticipated, I have to say that the two people I worked with were outstanding. They were friendly and replied to my endless emails right away.

    While they couldn't expedite their underwriting department, they did the best they could with what they had to deal with. The underwriting department seems to have issues that should be addressed to them. I don't know why they can't look at a file and tell the customer what all they still need instead of adding one item a day. That's pretty sad.

    My mortgage was sold to them about 3 years ago. The transition was seamless from Flagstar to Nationstar. However, with the economic collapse and medical issues, our income had drastically changed at that point in time. We tried to refinance and were told we made too much. We ended up filing bankruptcy and still were unable to afford the mortgage. It seemed that every 6 months our escrow needed to be increased. We fell behind and they kept sending us paperwork to refinance or take advantage of Making Home Affordable to modify. We kept being told that we do not qualify.

    In September 2012, we submitted paperwork the 5th time to modify and were contacted beginning of December 2012 that we were approved and needed to make 3 trial payments then we can modify. We followed through and received our modification paperwork on February 28th and were asked to have it notarized and return it by March 9th. This is only 6 business days. They require 7-10 business days for any correspondence we send them. I had the paperwork notarized on March 4th and attempted to send it back to them the next day. However, the prepaid air bill and FedEx envelope they sent to me were not compatible. I called them and they stated they would send another one out (FedEx is 80 minutes round trip from the nearest office).

    At the same time, I inquired about the $414.00 past due escrow and stated I would like to pay that. I was told to mail a check in that amount to the regular payment address with "apply to Escrow shortage" written on the memo line. I mailed it out on March 5th. They cashed it on March 15th and put it in suspense. I received a letter on March 26th telling me I had funds in suspense. I call after going through an automated system for 20 minutes, and I am told that I owe another $90.21 in escrow. I begin questioning why my legal modification documents state I owed $414.00 and wanted to know where the difference came from. No one can tell me.

    I talked to Tommy 3 times while I waited for the new envelope to show up and he kept saying he had mailed it to me 3 times, and that there is nothing more he can do for me. I ended up having to pay $30 to have it overnighted. They received their paperwork on March 20th. In the three conversations I had with Tommy, he just stated that the paperwork needed to be in their hands by the end of the month. I am now being told that because they did not get the paperwork by the 9th (which was a Saturday), my escrow amount changed. For what reason I have no idea and neither do they.

    This is a frustrating company to deal with. No one seems to know what they are doing and they just keep transferring you around from one person to the next and you have to keep giving your information and repeating yourself. If on March 9th the escrow amount changed, when were they going to notify me? In my modification documents it says I could just have the $414.00 added to my payments for the next 5 years. So if they are willing to finance this $414.00, how did $90.31 get added? At this point, I am stuck with these people unless my home value increases, and I can come up with $30,000 to pay off the part of my loan that is being deferred. This company needs to go down; they are clearly doing things illegally.

    If I were to speak from my frustration and the length of my interaction with Nationstar Mortgage, it would be a short novel. Rather, here are the shortened details:

    In Feb 2012, I recognized that with home under water and expenses, but not salary rising, I was becoming increasingly late in paying mortgage. I began receiving notices from Nationstar about options to reconcile account - including foreclosure, deed-in-lieu, or short sale. In May 2012, I finally contacted Nationstar to (reluctantly) start the process for deed-in-lieu (promise of transference of property back to Nationstar with no residual financial consequences, plus up to $5K in relocation assistance).

    On June 20, 2012, Lindsay ** from Nationstar contacted me as rep handling the transfer. She advised my former partner and I that we had to vacate the home in order for the process to be started. On June 28, 2012, Lindsay ** asked for a firm date when the house would be vacant - I gave her July 20th - which also started her process to have the house evaluated for fair market value and order title and deed. On June 29, 2012, Lindsay said she officially started the process with ordering title and deed. On July 18, 2012, I contacted Lindsay to say that I would be delayed by a weekend in moving out due to storms in the area.

    On July 19, 2012, Lindsay confirmed the delay was fine; the house was vacant on July 22, 2012 as I quickly sold most of my belongings, stored my clothes, and scrambled with temporary shelter with friends as they could allow ... waiting for resolution from Nationstar and relocation assistance to help with new apartment down payment. On July 20, 2012, I received notice of layoff from my job. On August 3, 2012, I received email from Lindsay about the second lien (IndyMac Bank) on the mortgage and requesting authorization letter from me to speak to them on my behalf - I sent it the same day.

    On August 14, 2012, Lindsay advised after speaking to One West Bank (IndyMac parent company) that One West was requesting - IndyMac account info, authorization for Nationstar to speak on your behalf, hardship letter explaining reason for deeding home, 3 months pay stubs to show (gross/net), 3 months coinciding bank statement to verify income, most recent Tax return and monthly expenses. She also advised that Nationstar wanted the same information (no mention of this when the process started); Lindsay gave fax numbers for One West and Nationstar (her) where I would send.

    On August 28, 2012, Lindsay emailed me to find out status of documentation - I replied that I was still gathering since some of the papers were in storage boxes. On September 13, 2012, I provided all documentation to Lindsay and faxed to number given at One West. On September 20, 2012, I received this email from Lindsay Harpole upon my request for status: "I have called twice to follow up on the information you have sent. IndyMAc states they have not received the information and do not have my authorization on file. The rep from their bank gave me a new fax number to send documents to, fax #269 353 2432. Hopefully they will receive and, "I can help you settle this."

    On October 2, 2012, I received this email from Lindsay upon my request for status: "I am still having trouble getting to even speak to One West. They stated they have received your documents; however, the authorization letter you sent is apparently not acceptable for me to speak with them as a 3rd party. The letter needs to include your One West loan number, my name specifically, and that you are authorizing me from Nationstar with a date. I am trying my best to work something out for you as the first lien holder. However, the other lien seems to be making the process very difficult. Please call them asap to figure out what they need to allow me to continue this process for you. There is an additional fax number I received to resend the documents fax # **; this is a gentleman named Jose ID **." I re-faxed all information to Lindsay and the new fax number (and finally a name) at One West with new authorization letter.

    On October 22, 2012, I received a message from Lindsay upon request for status stating that One West says information is still under review and she believes they are being uncooperative and her hands are tied until they respond. On October 23, 2012, I wrote a letter to the CEOs of both Nationstar Mortgage and One West Bank: Mr. Jay Bray, CEO & Director, Nationstar Mortgage, 350 Highland Drive Lewisville, TX 75067 and Mr. Joseph Otting, President & CEO, One West Bank, 888 East Walnut Street Pasadena, CA 91101

    On December 12, 2012, I received a call and email from Crystal ** at Nationstar to say that my file had been transferred to her and she would be handling it. She would order the title, deed, and I would need to fill out forms from Nationstar and One West and fax over documentation (yes, once again!). I complied. On January 2, 2013, Crystal advised Nationstar would need a letter from One West to move forward with deed-in-lieu. On January 22, 2013, after weeks waiting for the title, Crystal advised of receipt of title and sent letter of offer to settle to One West. On January 23, 2013, I got a call and private email message from Patrick ** at Nationstar to alert me he would investigate and handle my situation and needed a weekend to get the details on everything.

    On February 6, 2013, after not hearing anything from Nationstar, I emailed all the parties named thus far, and added Ramie ** requesting status - I received response from One West stating they were still reviewing the settlement offer. On February 20, 2013, I received notice of settlement from One West and sent to Nationstar; Crystal advised she would submit settlement to the investor (unnamed, who would, I learn, take ownership of the house and provide the relocation assistance). On March 4, 2013, after nothing from Nationstar in weeks, requesting status I received note from Darrius ** at Nationstar advising he would be handling my file with negotiations with the Investor - there was no estimate when the transaction would be closed. On March 11, 2013, I learned from email from One West that Nationstar had informed them privately that they expected close of transaction end of March. Nationstar never advised me. On March 27, 2013, the last communication with Nationstar was my request for status and Darrius advised no closing date for transaction.

    Nine months and counting, there is still no closure on this nightmare and not a dime in relocation assistance from Nationstar Mortgage and unless I contact them, there is not a peep from them.

    I have written an article on this whole episode that I hope to have published if and when this is finally resolved, so that other people whose mortgages end up in the hands of Nationstar will know to refinance immediately and get and stay as far away as they can from this horrible corporation.

    I am a landlord who originally had 2 mortgages through Countrywide bought by Bank of America, then sold to Nationstar Mortgage. Payments are due today. No paperwork has been sent for one of the loans. After being on hold for over 34 minutes, they were kind enough to pick up just to tell me they can't access that account. While waiting, I read the reviews and found out this is typical for them. When I have tried to contact them before, I can never get through. How do they stay in business with this kind of service?

    Wow! After reading these reviews, I feel even more helpless. I was transferred to this mortgage company a few months ago and they are completely consumer-unfriendly! I made mortgage payments online only to find out a month later that I did not make payments?! They only accept payment through Western Union for whatever reason. Plenty of money in my checking account! So now I have late fees and I am in foreclosure for being 45 days late. **? I am so pissed off now I just want to not pay them and see where this will go. I am under water so it certainly will not be to their benefit. By the way, I was in the mortgage industry for 20+ years and used to do foreclosures.

    I am a 100% disabled Veteran, 100% non-workable. This is according to the Veterans Administration and I receive a check of a certain amount each month to compensate me for these disabilities because I cannot work to support myself. There are no taxes taken out of this check. I also do not pay personal income taxes to the IRS or the State because of these disabilities. Since I cannot work, the only money I receive each month is my disability check from the VA. This is the same for any disabled person, veteran or not.

    I applied for a HAMP loan modification in August of 2012. I received notification from Nationstar Mortgage that I have been approved and given the amount I must pay each month. Per HAMP the amount should be 31% of my income. The amount I was given is closer to 42%. When I asked why, I was told the check I receive is considered “net” per the Making Home Affordable Guidebook and they added the 25% that is required increasing my income by a sizeable amount per month.

    Making Home Affordable Guidebook (6.1.1 Monthly Gross Income) - Monthly gross income is the borrowers income amount before any payroll deductions and includes: wages and salaries, overtime pay, commissions, fees, tips, bonuses, housing allowances, and/or other compensation for personal services; Social Security payments, food stamps and adoption subsidies, including those received by adults on behalf of minors or by minors intended for their own support; monthly income from annuities, insurance policies, retirement funds, pensions and disability or death benefits; rental income and other miscellaneous sources of income. If only net income is available, the servicer must multiply the net income amount by 1.25 (125 percent) to estimate the monthly gross income. All non-taxed income, including non-taxed social security income, is considered net income. Version 4.1 As of December 13, 2012, Page 101.

    I have asked Nationstar Mortgage to explain it to me but they can’t. Making Home Affordable helped me finally get my loan modification although they added an extra 25% to my income. I don’t understand why, so I’m writing to them online at www.makinghomeaffordable.gov. I have tried to ask them when I called 877-300-5454, but they don’t seem to have an answer except that it’s what is written in the handbook! I have written to these two government sites with no replies yet: Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Consumer Response Center, 600 Pennsylvania Ave NW, Washington, DC 20580-0001; US Dept. of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), 451 7th St. SW, Washington, DC 20410-0001. I just wrote to the Dept. of the Treasury asking them about this additional money added to my income, as they were the ones that wrote this guidebook.

    I contacted the National Mortgage Settlement, at http://www.nationalmortgagesettlement.com/help, a department of the Federal government that helps homeowners that are being wrongfully treated by the 5 major banks (Ally/GMAC, Bank of America, Citibank, JP Morgan Chase and Wells Fargo), but none of these are my lenders so they couldn’t help me. Unfortunately they have begun with those 5 major banks but have done little to help those of us that have one of the smaller banks or a loan servicer. These banks/servicers are still being allowed to do pretty much whatever they want, unless we complain loudly and continuously.

    I have also gone online to Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) and filed a complaint. This is a government site and looks into the issues. California just passed its Homeowners Bill of Rights and can be seen at http://oag.ca.gov/hbor and I have been reading it to see if there is anything in there that can help me. It has taken me over 3 years of writing and calling all these government offices to finally get my loan modification, and it’s still not right! If anyone has any other suggestions, please let me know!

    I just wish that they have negative stars rating because I'd give them -5 stars! Giving them 1-star rating is way too good for them! My loan was originally from BOA. Nationstar took over in Sept. 2011. I received letter from BOA saying that I'd receive mortgage statement from Nationstar but nothing had arrive. I had to call BOA and asked them if I'd still be able to make payments through them because I didn't know where to mail my payment to. Anyway, I've set up an auto payment online. They just took the money and still charged me with late fees?

    My loan was under Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac and also under water. I tried to refi through Chase and BOA, but they said I'd need to work with Nationstar. I've been calling for months until I finally got someone live on the line to help me. Anyway, I got my interest lock in on 12/27/2012, with 4.75% fix for 30 years. That was pretty high at that time, but I had no choice but to go with Nationstar. My mortgage will reduce from $1,193 down to $1,003. The loan officer had quoted me with $2,560 closing cost. One month later, I received GFE from him. The doc showed that I'd have to pay $5,509 for closing cost! I called and called and kept calling the loan officer to find out what went wrong. After 2.5 months, I got a hold of him and he went over the GFE with me. He said he'd fix the doc before I went to closing.

    I just received new loan doc from Nationstar. My monthly payment is now $1,007 instead of $1,003! The total fees went down to $5,420 but why do I have to pay $6 more per month? Yet, the closing cost is not even near what they first talked to me. The processor got it fixed down to $1,003 and I'm closing today in 2 hours, but the closing cost is $2,900? I called and got the loan officer to call me back. It was a horrible attitude that I've ever dealt with! He's threatened me that he'd cancel my loan! Well today, the rate had gone up quite a bit and he said he'd not get the same deal if he cancels my loan! He said whatever he had quoted me before and all those documents I've received were all wrong! He said he didn't remember anything about my loan! The monthly payment was supposed to be $1003.13 but it went up to $1003.65 and $2,900.00 closing cost.

    He even said his people were doing a good job to help me to go through the process and I have problem with 50c different from his first quoted amount and the final HUD! Okay, first of all, it was not just 50c I'm talking here. It's about the principle! It's about all the time I've put in to get a hold of someone to get my loan mod moving! It's about that what Nationstar had promised and not executed! At the end, I'm paying 50c more per month for the next 30years! And I'm paying $340 more on the closing cost! I wish I could refi my loan through other banks. Nationstar is a joke!

    I have had Nationstar not even a year, and three times I found out only when they called to tell me that I was late that my mortgage did not get to them. Recently for February, they told me they didn't get it and I paid it to them by phone but found out that they cashed my check for February on March 8th. How messed up is that? They got three payments from me after March was paid by phone to them because I was afraid they would not receive it.

    You can never get an agent on the phone at all. They harass you on the first of the month saying you're late with your mortgage when indeed you have until the 17th. I asked them to stop calling me but surely no one called to tell me that they got an extra payment. I am so sick of this company. Never did I once have a problem with any other mortgage company before this one took over. I am going to file a formal complaint because I am stuck and cannot refinance. Just venting with the rest.

    I had a mortgage with Bank of America from 2008-2012 and my mortgage was always paid on time. August 2011 I applied for a loan modification through BOA with a program called Making Homes Affordable, which is a legitimate government program. The process was great. The account reps (BOA) were always available and helpful. All trial payments were made on time. Everything went great. The loan modification was approved in December 2012. January 2013 I phoned BOA to make my new loan modification payment and was told to call an 800 number. I called and to my surprise, my loan had been sold to Nationstar. What a nightmare. I spoke to a rep and inquired about what the heck was going on. Nightmare continues.

    I was told to set up an online account and was given an account number. However, I wasn't able to pay via internet due to NS was asking for a mortgage amount other than what was agreed on. I don't know how they came up with the amount. I called back and was told to mail payment in. I mailed in January. The rep also told me to expect my new modification documents with Nationstar via FedEx within the next month. I was relieved! Everything is back on track. Boy that didn't last long. A couple of weeks later I received a call from NS stating that my house was going into foreclosure and would need to start over with my loan modification, although I had faxed all the final documents to NS from BOA.

    During this time I sent February's payment via mail. This time I was told I couldn't pay via mail and that I would need to send certified funds. I'm in tears now not knowing what to do or how to get this misunderstanding cleared up. My loan is current, however, today I got a letter from a company in San Diego stating that my house is indeed in foreclosure. I have been to hell and back. I am scared about what Nationstar is trying to do to me but have done nothing wrong!

    I originally financed my house through Centex who in turn sold my mortgage to Nationstar. It was the worst day of my life. They would never give me a 30-year fixed loan. They would only give me a 2-year ARM loan. They wouldn't refinance me and said my debt to income ratio was not good. So the 2-year ARM loan kicked in. My payments went from $658 a month to $1,100 a month which I obviously couldn't afford. I contacted them a year before I actually lost my house. They said they had a program to help. They told me to write a hardship letter explaining why I was unable to keep up with the payments. I wrote it and faxed it to them the next day.

    When my payment came due the next month, I inquired about the letter I had faxed. I was told that if I made a payment, they would submit the letter. This happened for two more months. They never submitted the letter. I did everything they said and they never helped. I called and told them the money for the payment wasn't in the bank. They assured me that it wouldn't come out. It came out anyway. They said they had no record of the call.

    Two years after I lost my house, they sent me a forgiveness of debt which would have me owing the IRS about $9,000. Thank God I declared bankruptcy so I didn't have to pay IRS. Something needs to be done about this company. I really want to start a class action lawsuit!

So I am supposed to make my mortgage loans to Nationstar beginning on the first of April. I have no loan number from them or any paperwork from them!
