Company: NATIONSTAR MORTGAGE LLC
State: MA

Complaint narrative:
I am seeking to have the PMI on my home removed, and after consulting a local real estate professional about the value of my home, I paid NationStar Mortgage {$450.00} fee to have my home appraised. The company took the fee and ordered an appraiser that lives XXXX miles away to perform the appraisal on my property. His opinion of value was $ XXXX $ XXXX less than the range given to me by one of the most successful real estate professionals in my city. I believe that the appraiser lacked sufficient geographic competence to perform the appraisal, and submitted a dispute to NationStar outlining this. I submitted that dispute on XXXX XXXX. I have received no resolution. None. I have spoken to multiple call center reps, including XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX. I have asked for their manager, XXXX XXXX, to contact me on numerous occasions, and have never received a call. I have contacted them at least 6-7 times and they are either incapable or unwilling to provide me with any answers. I have a perfect payment history with NationStar and all of the companies that owned this mortgage before them. I believe this behavior is unacceptable. I think they ordered an appraiser that was more likely to produce a report favorable to the mortgage company than to the homeowner. I believe this to be deceptive and unfair. I have contacted them on numerous occasions and given them every opportunity to respond in ANY fashion to my dispute and the follow up inquiries. They have not done so. I believe that they have an obligation to respond to formal written disputes that they have not held up.

Complaint narrative:
This complaint is related to CFPB case number : XXXX ( see attachment entitled : " CFPB Case XXXX '' ). In response to that complaint Nation Star Mortgage indicated in a letter dated on XXXX/XXXX/2015 that proof of insurance was received ( see attachment entitled : " Nationstar Letter Acknowledging Receipt of Homeowners Insurance XX/XX/2015 '' ). In a Nation Star Mortgage Statement dated XX/XX/2105 it is clear that the escrow payment for missing insurance was eliminated as a result of the CFPB case. However in the most recent mortgage statement dated XXXX/XXXX/2015 an escrow amount of {$640.00} mysteriously appears ( see attachment entitled : " Nation Star Mortgage Statements XX/XX/2015 '' ). I would like Nation Star to eliminate this mysterious escrow amount from my mortgage statement.

I have perfect credit and NationStar bought my Mortgage from XXXX. XXXX thing is they charge XXXX for processing your on time payments via their website. Next I tried to call the customer service line and I need to type my information in many times but it never worked, next If you speak your information it takes a few times to get that to work as well. Once you do get to a representative they ask for the information again because it does n't feed to the representative. They also introduce them self as a DEBT COLLECTOR. Next I begin to tell the badly trained XXXX rep. about the {$10.00} fee and she said it is a processing fee. I told her that the letter I received stated that they honor all terms of the original mortgage and fees for payment was not included. I ask for a manager and never got XXXX ... The call was disconnected after a few minutes being on hold ... I called XXXX with the same story and XXXX time I was disconnected.

Complaint narrative:
My home has been under the short sale program for several months with SPS, we have presented several offers to this company and all have come back being denied, my property needs repairs, we have been working with a buyer for several weeks that has spent time and money to prepare a bid for repairs for this lender. The value set on my property is for fair market value and my agent has been working to have the value properly reflect the repairs needed. Throughout this process we are all being told by SPS that my property did not have a sale date even though XXXX is publicized for XXXX XXXX XXXX, XX/XX/2015 at XXXX. As of today I am still having communication problems with having SPS advise their trustee that the sale scheduled for my property on Monday is on hold. They are trying to foreclose on me instead of working with my agent to sell my house. SPS has mislead us for several weeks and has lied many times by advising my agent that there is no sale date and that all is being worked on. When indeed there is a sale date and per their trustee it is active.

Complaint narrative:
I have a home improvement loan with this company since XXXX XXXX, 2015 and this is a interest free loan for 18 months. This was approved by XXXX XXXX. 
I am suppose to pay BB & T {$250.00} per month for 18 months. 
This amount is suppose to be applied to my principal. After 18 months I pay the remaining balance. 
I have been paying {$250.00} for the last one year. BB & T has been sending me statements stating that only {$9.00} go towards the principal and the rest {$190.00} goes towards the interest. 
I have contacted the company in reference to this issue many times and they state that they can not do anything. 
This is the way the statements are printed. 
On XXXX XXXX I spoke with the manager ( XXXX XXXX ) and she promised that she will investigate it and call me back. It has been a month and I have not received any response yet. 
I had notified the sales rep from the contracting company ( XXXX XXXX ) who had offered me financing through BB & T home improvement. 
I had notified the accounts payable manager and told her that the consumer should have a clear statement of what the client has paid and what they owe at the end of the term. 
This is unacceptable. 
The contractor was notified that they should not use this company anymore in order to sell their product.

Complaint narrative:
Almost five years ago I was forced to file a chapter XXXX bankruptcy after years of battling with our health insurance and XXXX bills from my wife. She had a XXXX that caused her several complications and XXXX issues that continue to date. When I filed bankruptcy we met with a attorney and explained we would like to stay in our home and he suggested we try to modify with our lender to make our payment within our budget. We requested a modification and it was done around the same time as our bk filing. Our mortgage is with Nationstar Mortgage and we have had the worst experiences with them. When we initially refinanced with them we were told we could refinance into a lower rate/payment a year after we signed on our high and adjustable rate. We called them in a year our loan officer was no longer working there and they were not FHA approved so we could n't get out of the loan we had. I requested a payoff a couple weeks ago and it shows we owe over {$250000.00} with {$50000.00} in misc fees.

I just received a scheduled foreclosure date from XXXX that my house is scheduled for foreclosure on XXXX, 2017. I called my dedicated Loan Specialist XXXX on XXXX, 2017 to check on the status of my HAMP Loan Modification and left message for her. When she returned my call she did not give me any answer to my call. She only left me phone numbers. I old her in the pass that I can only talk to her about my loan modification and nobody else. Since then I have not heard from her but to get this foreclosure notice. Attached is the foreclosure letter. The letter claimed advertisement is enclosed but there is no advertisement enclosed. 
I checked XXXX paper from XXXX to the time of this complaint the house was not advertised for sale. 
Nationstar Mortgage is not making any effort to modify the loan to a more affordable mortgage payment since XXXX till now. They have been looking for any rabbit hole to foreclose as their intention from the onset was not modify but to foreclose. I did everything they asked me but always come up with lies upon lies which I have disputed many times in the past.

NationStar Mortgage continues to apply unnecessary inspection fees to my account, NationStar claims that these are inspections to make sure the home is occupied. I have maintained constant communication with NationStar and continue to advise NationStar that my home is occupied, so NationStar well knows that I continue live in my property. These frequent inspections consist of a door tag with NationStar 's contact number. Additionally NationStar has applied additional home inspection fees of {$640.00} and legal fees of {$2000.00} to my account with out justification. NationStar continues to violate California 's Home Owners Bill of Rights by adding unexplained fees to my Veterans Affairs mortgage loan.

Complaint narrative:
I have agreed to do a standard short sale with Nationstar. After my agent has submitted a solid offer with a solid Buyer and the lender conducting a BPO on the XXXX of XXXX the lender ( nationstar ) is trying to force me to go thru an Auction Process of which will scare by buyer away as they will withdraw their offer. Conducting an auction that makes no sense after having received a solid offer. The property has been on the market for almost 1 year and we finally have an offer to close quickly and now they want to force me to allow an auction. How can a lender who has no legal right to conduct a sale on my property force me to participate in such a ridiculous action and cause me to lose the solid buyer i have in place. Also, to make matters worse the 2nd Lien Holder foreclosed on the property on XXXX/XXXX/2017 but has agreed and allowed me and my agent to continue Negotiations and proceed with Nationstar for a STANDARD Short Sale. Not an Auction from a Vendor/3rd Party who will try to sell something they have no legal right to sell. What an Absurd practice that they are trying to force upon me. I know a few other individuals who have had gone thru the short sale process with NationStar and none of them went thru a forced auction. This Practice in my Opinion is wrong and should be looked into. Please help bring Light to this Situation as they seem to be on a one track mind and are adamant about either going thru with the Auction or they will decline the file. please see the attachment that was sent to me this morning stating the above.

Complaint narrative:
I had a mortgage with XXXX. It was sold or transferred over to Nationstar. I have become past due almost three months which I hope to be able to catch up in the next 60 days because I quit my part time job to be able to cash out my XXXX so that I do n't get much further behind. I am behind on everything. Nationstar has been calling me everyday sometimes twice a day but I have not returned their calls. I received an email from them on Wednesday about a possible home loan modification assistance program. I called them finally to let them know what my situation was. I was advised to fill out the packet and return it ASAP so that I can get some type of assistance as I transition. Currently, I am looking for XXXX new jobs with the hopes of being able to earn more money so that I do n't have to file bankruptcy. I faxed and emailed the documents. The representative I spoke with on Wednesday said to call back every 4 days to make sure they have all they needed. I called XXXX times today to check to make sure they have the forms. I could n't get not XXXX person to answer the phone after making XXXX calls. I called the following numbers : XXXX ( 6 times ) and XXXX ( XXXX time ). Both numbers were listed in the email I received on Wednesday. Half the times the phone rang and stopped, then it never even rang, then it did ring a XXXX times and no one picked up, then finally I got the automated message that this was their " busy '' season and to go on their website. How are these people supposed to help me save my home if I cant even reach them? I think this is all a rouse. A ploy to make it look like they are helping poor consumers such as myself so that they can take my house from under me making it appear as if I did n't submit forms or try to help myself. I do NOT want to lose my home! I am doing everything I can humanly possible to get assistance but I cant even reach these people so what am I supposed to do? I am frustrated and afraid and scared and just want help. XXXX would not offer me any assistance when I contacted them on numerous occasions about trying to lower my mortgage payment. And now I have to deal with a company that I cant even get to come to the phone?! Please help.
