Product: Mortgage — Conventional fixed mortgage
Issue: Loan servicing, payments, escrow account — 
Company: NATIONSTAR MORTGAGE LLC
State: NV

Complaint narrative:
Nationstar mortgage has disrupted my credit because they state that in XX/XX/2015 I missed a payment. I never missed a payment. Between XX/XX/2015 and XX/XX/2015, my payment changed because Nationstar states that my loan went from an interest only loan to a principle and interest loan. I made my usual payment of {$3200.00} in XX/XX/2015. What I did not know is that Nationstar put that money into suspense and did not apply it to the loan because they do not accept partial payments. When I received my statement in XX/XX/2015, I noted the increase in required payment adjusted my payment accordingly. At the time, I was remodeling the home and I assumed that the increase in payment was to cover additional escrow because the taxes and insurance went up. I never thought any more of it and continued to make the new payment ; actually paying more than the required payment. ( This is a practice that I have always done with all of my loans ) Nationstar never notified me in writing, email, or by phone prior to XX/XX/2015 that my payment would be changing in XX/XX/2015. They state that they tried to contact me in the month of XXXX, but that my phone was disconnected. That would not seem plausible since, as a surgeon, I would never not have a working number. Even if they had tried to contact me, it would have made no difference because I already had corrected the payment. At the time, there was more than sufficient funds in escrow to cover the {$600.00} difference that they said that I owed, but they did not apply those funds. Instead they put the {$3200.00} into suspense and did not apply it to the loan. I never discovered any of this until I started the process of refinancing my home. Now, Nationstar says that they can not amend the report. This is disrupting my credit and making it difficult for me to refinance the home. At XXXX years old, I have never declared banckrupcy, short sold a home, or missed a payment in my life!! This is a mistake on Nationstar 's part that is affecting me. I find it hard to believe that they can not amend their report based upon all the evidence available. I think that this is fraudulent and shameful. Moreover, I believe that legally, Nationstar should have notified of the payment change. Had they done so, I would have adjusted my payment accordingly and this never would have happened.

Company: NATIONSTAR MORTGAGE LLC
State: KY

Complaint narrative:
We have been working on a mortgage with Greenlight Loans since XXXX XXXX. This is a XXXX family 30 year fixed conventional mortgage. We have good credit, were pre approved ( with a promise to close within 30 days ), and can satisfy debt-to-income requirements. The house was appraised and we received conditional approval within 15 days. The condition responses were returned the next day and there has been no forward movement since then. We did have a hiccup with the seller not having the pool ready for the appraiser, but that was completed and the appraiser report was sent to Greenlight on XXXX XXXX. Every time I follow up to see what the status is, the closing coordinator indicates something is being cleared in underwriting and we " should close next week ''. I have been hearing this every week for four weeks now. I always have to ask for a status, they are not proactive in updating me at all - I believe the file is sitting on someone 's desk until prompted to work on it. They had not asked me for XXXX additional piece of information, just keep delaying the final steps. Then last Thursday, they have a list of information they need for underwriting, which I completely understand they need to update their file. It was simple stuff and was returned within XXXX minutes. But, how could the closing coordinator be promising to close when the XXXX file was not even complete or up to date? Today, their response is " being cleared by underwriting for funding and this will be done in about an hour '' - that was XXXX hours ago. The sale of our house is closing Friday and we are going to be homeless if we do n't get this closed. Further, this is not just affecting my family. The sellers and our realtors are all impacted. I honestly believe that the closing coordinator does not know what she is doing and has no training or guidance. I also do n't think anyone at the company cares. My husband filed a complaint on their website and I have also called their Consumer Affairs Department with no response.

Complaint narrative:
I never went in and signed any paperwork to start this account. Everything was done online. Once I realized that they had opened the account I ask them to close the account because my job did not offer direct deposit and they never did close it so the fees for not having direct deposit added up and now they are saying its my fault. I ask them to close it.

Company: NATIONSTAR MORTGAGE LLC
State: PA

Complaint narrative:
In XXXX 2014 my mortgage company, Nationstar Mortgage LLC deducted XXXX mortgage payments from my checking account. I called them and told them I only authorized XXXX payment and to please refund XXXX payment back to me. On XXXX XXXX I was issued a check from Nationstar for {$1500.00}. I attempted to cash this check but Nationstar issued a stop payment on XXXX XXXX, 2014. I contacted them again and said since my next payment was coming due to just apply to the XXXX payment. This never happened nor do they acknowledge that the check was stopped from payment. I have been in contact with them for almost 2 years trying to resolve this issue. I was told my money was put towards principal instead of payment and that it would be corrected. My money was moved over XXXX times around my account. I am now in collections and owe over {$800.00} in late fees and still am getting the run around from their staff. I will attach a copy of the stop payment that they claim does not exist. I only want my account brought current, the fees taken away and my credit repaired as I have been paying high Intrest rates on car loans and such because of a poor credit score. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Complaint narrative:
*Since XXXX, I am still " fighting '' with Nationstar regarding this mortgage ; they will not comply to the financial security standards as binding by Frank & Dodd Law . After fighting with them for two years when I overcame an illegal foreclosure in XXXX XXXX for filing a CFPB claim ; forging modifications documents ; I ward off another illegal modification and became current, and STILL NATIONSTAR IS CLAIMING MORTGAGE IN THE REAR! 

I had to pay {$6200.00} by XXXX/XXXX/XXXX to be reinstated ; it will not include the XXXX mortgage. An electronic transfer was submitted in the amount of {$6000.00} with a promise for the balance of the {$250.00} to be paid within 90-days. I have attached the payments for XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX. I have also attached Nationstar website claiming I owe them for XXXX. 

I have forwarded through their webpage multiple inquiries ... .with no response other than to call them. I want a written response no verbal. 

I have forwarded a separate electronic email transmission via worksite with receipt confirmation ... ..still no response other than to call them. I want a written response, no verbal. 

I have submitted a copy of the bank check for XXXX XXXX, and the XXXX other electronic payment processing documents for their validation, but they have not reconcile with the reinstatement documents with the amount {$5100.00}, which would leave my account current up to XXXX XXXX. 


These are harassment tactics that consumer should not have to endure because Nationstar bought her contract ... ..I DID NOT SEEK OUT NATIONSTAR. I DID NOT CHOOSE THEM AS MY LENDER. THEY WERE FORCED ON ME. Now, that the property is still underwater I can not refinance this property, but I will when the opportunity arise! Until that time, GOVERNMENT REGULATOR GET THIS DOGS OFF ME.

Company: NATIONSTAR MORTGAGE LLC
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
XXXX sold my loan to Nationstar while I was in a modification. After 5 years, as per mod agreements, interest rate was to go from3 % to 4 % for a year, then 4.5 % until term. The payments at 4 % would be too much for me because of lost income and other events. XX/XX/XXXX I applied for another modification with Nationstar. It was approved, but I would n't know the terms until finished with the trial payments. Every month or so I will be assigned a new " loan specialist '' to help with my issues, but to date, never once spoke to the person assigned to me. every phone call I made meant I had to start over and every person I spoke with offered a different version. I was told by Nationstar staff not to worry about XX/XX/XXXX payment of {$5200.00}, to start XX/XX/XXXX with the trial payment of {$3600.00}. I paid on time all the 3 trial payments. Before that, I had never been late. XX/XX/XXXX, I was reported delinquent to the credit bureaux. My credit score went from XXXX to XXXX. I contacted Nationstar. They retracted it but never sent me documentation. Some of their staff told me they did n't report me. But again they reported me XX/XX/XXXX. 
My 2nd issue, I have n't been able to sign the mod agreement because they added my husband 's name to the loan. We are not legally divorced, but his name has never been on the mortgage and I am unable to locate him. I 've always held the mortgage alone and prior mod with XXXX had not been an issue. His name is on the deed. I was told by Nationstar it has to do with regulations from the town I reside in ( XXXX XXXX XXXX , NY ) I went to the town and was told that is not so. Any insight on this issue? All alone the 've been dealing with me and me alone. 
My credit score now is so low that I can ' even think of refinancing, because I do n't think Nationstar deserves my business. Also, the new terms of the loan is for 40 years when I only had 10 years left. I am XXXX now. I ca n't get them to write that there will be no pre payment penalty. I feel so lost now. 
Please help and advise. 
Thanks XXXX

On XX/XX/2010 I closed on a house for me and my children. The property should never have closed in it 's condition. The broker acted in concert with the realtor to close the loan on a house that is almost uninhabitable. The condition of the property was grossly misrepresented by all parties involved. Because of their deceptive business practices our finances have been in ruin.

Complaint narrative:
After being contacted with a postal mailer and e-mail, I responded to the advertisements and called to start a loan to improve my residence. I informed the person I spoke to, XXXX XXXX, that I needed a HUD XXXX loan to do the improvements. Instead she put me on track for a loan where I had to make the improvements before I could close the loan. The company 's action in trying to steer me into a loan that did not meet my needs was deceptive and time consuming. It almost locked me into a loan that did no meet my needs. After I rejected the loan they were misleading me into, they posted a letter to me claiming that I was turned down for the loan because I refused to provide credit information. That is untrue as I provided all such information and they had already issued me an approval letter. This has cost me time and as rates are increasing, significant money as well.

Complaint narrative:
I had a long standing credit card with BB & T that was opened because liek XXXX XXXX XXXX BB & T had pushed their employees to open credit cards for customers. It was fine, I used it for a while and then decided to stop using it because I did not like BB & T customer service or fraud protection. I let BB & T know this and suddenly my account was closed due to suspected fraud. There had not been any charges on it for months and it was being paid, so I have no idea what the " suspected fraud '' was and BB & T will only respond with nonsensical answers to that question. The truth is that most likely it was in retaliation for my conversation with customer service. I do not care about the account and had planned to close it anyway. The problem is that it is derogatory in my credit report now because it is showing a balance due and closed by the issuer -- that is a red flag and it has delayed my mortgage application. I alsed BB & T to simply remove it and XXXX XXXX of BB & T falsely claimed that they are required to continue reporting this by the Fair Credit Reporting Act. She also included letters that were supposedly sent to me about the suspected fraud, but given that there were no charges on teh account, again -- I have no idea what they are talking about. It is clearly a XXXX attempt.

Complaint narrative:
Submitted application for home modification with my servicer a year ago. They have been asking for documents since then. We provide them every time they ask. I feel that we should have been given an answer in a timely manner. This has caused the arrears to continue to go up. If we would have been given an answer in a timely fashion, we would have been able to explore other options. They simultaneously have served us with an intent for foreclose, with 35 days being given to answer the complaint. My husband and I have been doing everything we could to save our home, i.e. making applications to better paying jobs, going to food pantries, eliminating unnecessary bills such as cable, and keeping our old cars, which have no monthly payments. It is essential for us to keep our home. We have been here since we are married and have a special needs son. This house gives him some stability, and he is currently in a good education program, where he is making progress. We would just like them to provide an answer once and for all. At this point, they have all updated income information and bank statements.
