Wells Fargo home Mortgage
New York
United States

I made the mistake of going with Wells Fargo since they already held my mortgage. I thought it would make it easier. I thought I could trust them. I thought wrong.
I gave them $341 out of pocket to do the appraisal. After being confirmed that the loan refi would be no problem, all my numbers were excellent, great credit, LTV ratio was perfect, income was good, everything was in order. I was approved and awaited the closing date. Then I got a denial letter. Something about "not being a benefit to borrower". I asked numerous banking professionals what that meant and not a single one could come up with an explanation. And of course it was impossible to get anyone at Wells to talk to me. To add insulet to injury, they weren't going to refund my money. Luckily one of my customers is a real estate lawyer and talked to someone at WF and got me at least my appraisal fee back ($325).
But the joke ended up being on them in the end. I got a better deal elsewhere and just gave WfF the official boot!
I hope they go bankrupt !

Wells Fargo Home Mortgage are all theives. Our story was almost identical with some twists. Our mortgage, sadly, is also with WF and we also thought it would be prudent to refinance with them. Big mistake. We were strung along for 3 long and grueling months by our loan officer (initials: M.R.) in the WF branch office Concord, MA. He told us right until the last minute that everything was fine and that we were, in his words, "all set". At the very last minute he pulled the rug out from under us and told us that WF had changed the requirements and that 86% LTV was being modified to 75%. Worse, he kept us waiting for weeks, never returned our calls, and made numerous promised he could not keep. We're out a whopping $575 for the appraisal, that we can only hope to get a refund for. I would strongly recommend staying away from these bandits.

I too and going thru almost the same issue. WF has my current loan..after they contacted me about refinacing . At least i have not had the rug pulled out from me yet.
I've been out $673. 6 months later this appears no closer to closing .We've seen given a couple different closing dates, that have came and went.Along with numerous loan employees..that all of a sudden you no longer hear anything from..only to find out they are no longer with the company. And getting a return phone call..is pretty much out of the question. I feel your pain. Have you tried calling the 1-800-840-5812 complaint number? I feel your pain!

I am going through the same thing with Wells Fargo and also submitted a claim with the Better Business Bureau.

Would rather not ID myself too much but, been waiting 3 months to close refinanced reverse mortgage. Your comments about WF are scary. Hard to believe banks are getting away with this stuff during our financial crises.

I went through the "exact" same thing as edie in ny...our stories are identical...my loan was orginally with another lender who sold it to Wells Fargo...so I didn't have a choice at that point on who was going to hold my mortgage...I hate WFHM and would NEVER finance anything with WFHM ...can anyone offer any other alternatives? I really want to take advantage of the lower interest rates...that is the only reason I am willing to refinance...

My situation is simlar to the other posts. I thought refinancing through Wells Fargo would be easier since they held the original loan. I started this process in April 2009 - it is now approaching mid-August 2009. I have received four rate extensions. I have had very limited contact from my mortgage refinance contact. When I do receive e-mails from my contact, there are misspellings and poor grammar. It's impossible to reach WF representatives by phone and when I do, there is a series of mixed messages and confusion on their part. If I didn't have a low rate locked in, I would stop the process with WF and try refinancing through another bank/credit union. In all honesty, I wouldn't be terribly unhappy if Wells Fargo denied by refinance. I'd prefer not to do business with them ever again.

My husband and I went through a rough time due to his job loss. We were never late on a payment. We bought the house in March of 2007 and in October of 2008 we could no longer stay alfloat. We called them they didnt want to help beacuse we were never behind on our payments. Finally at the end of November they agreed to let us do a short sale. We had an offer for 135, 000.00 and the house was appraised at 145, 000.00 it took them a month to tell the realtor they wouldn't accept the offer. In March they sent us a letter about a deed in lieu of foreclosure. I filed the paperwork immediately it took until April for someone to even contact us. They said it was approved at the first of May. Towards the end of the month we received a phone call saying everything had went through and we would have to be out within 30 days from the date of the letter. May 29, 2009 we received a letter saying the deed was denied. My husband was on the phone with them for an hour and a half . They said it was denied because the paperwork wasnt turned in enough time. We got a letter in the mail saying to foreclosure date was set for June 2, 2009. We had to gert out immediately we moved everything we had in one weekend. On top of that my husbands credit is ruined and they have put the house on the market for 137, 500.00. This company should be shut down completely.

I am almost sad that my original complaint had so many similar stories. I guess I'm not surprised though. When you are dealing with such a large impersonal company, it seems to go without saying. Not that its excusable though. There is no excuse for the treatment I (and you all) got. We are the ones paying for their bonuses, their bail-outs, their yachts and Beemers.

I did report them to BBB, all appropriate gov't agencies I could google, my state banking dept, and even considered a class action law suit (who has the time for that?) I posted on here and I tell absolutely everyone I know about my experience with WFHM.

Best advice I can give is be patient, do some research and then go local. Do not go with a big bank or lender (like Ditech). Trust your instincts, if it smells fishy, its a fish. I went to a small local (brick and mortar, do not go to online sites) lender. I got a great rate and am very happy.

Good luck to you all.

OH. I forgot to mention...


;-)

One of my customers is a big real estate lawyer. They deal with WF daily, and even they could not explain why WF denied my loan. But they talk daily to the closing agent (or whatever her title was) that screwed me at WF !! They acted as an intermediary and actually got me most of my money back. In the end I was out about $15 for the credit check.

SO I would also suggest that if you got screwed and can back it up with documentation, talk to a lawyer. Even if they could just send WF something on their official legal letterhead stationery...it might help.
