Mr. Cooper
reviews and complaints

Nationstar will robo call customers on the 4th or 5th of every month, even with customers that have never been late!
This is a very unprofessional company that is in a much lower class than other other mortgage companies. Unfortunately they are my current mortgage servicer since my mortgage was purchased from the professionals at bank of america.

Most professional banks and mortgage companies will allow until the 15th, 16, or 17th of the month before they commence with notifications of late payments. Nationstar has robo called my cell phone as early as the 4th of the month and will vigorously call multiple times per day. This company originated as a debt collections company, but unfortunately is not aware that customers actually do exist that are not delinquents. Having never missed a payment since they purchased my loan from bank of america, they execute robo calling starting on the 4th of every month makes them a very sub par company. I can not wait for my re-finance process to complete (With a different lender of course) so I can move onto a different servicer. They are the worst.

Laid off in oct 2009, unemployed for 1-1/2 yrs. Tried to get loan modification. Took 1 yr for them to even start the process, even though all paperwork they requested was sent. Last year gave me 6 months deferred pay'ts at reduced amount. Paid all 6 payments over amount requested. Found out this year that they didn't defer any of the payments, did not modify & charged me late fees. Tried again to get modified at the end of 2011, assured me that if I made 3 monthly reduced payments that I was already approved to be modified. Paid payts still no modification & I am now according to them 9 months behind & they are talking foreclosure. Customer service is terrible, they are rude, do not as a rule know what they are talking about. Specialist that gets assigned to your case will not return calls. Loan is due to be paid off as of may 2012. Went to lewisville to talk to someone anyone, they refused to talk to me, could not give me a pay off amount. Called last week so I could wire money to them to pay off (Borrowed $) won't tell me an exact amount. Wired money friday, they have as of this am, not posted to account. No clue if my loan is paid off or if they are going to add more bogus charges to account.

I have been dealing with Nationstar Mortgage for two months. They consistently delay paper work, they lie about receiving paper work. I have documentation of
5 FAX's that I have sent to Nationstar. Either their employees are illiterate, lazy, or being told to use delay tactics so that they can deny the loan after 3 months. They are my current home lender because they bought my loan from BofA. They do not return phone calls, their supervisors refuse to come to phone and deal with any issues. They accepted buy out money from the tax payers and then refuse to use any of it to help the ones who bailed them out. In approximately 2 weeks time I will be denied do their incompetence. Then I will be forced to begin a law suit against them and their employee Amber Leeann Holligan ID# 71166.

Nationstar mortgage called me at home on a registered do not call phone to ask me to deliver their collections message to a neighbor. This is a very questionable practice, in very poor taste, a violation of privacy and illegal for calling a registered phone number. Shame on you, nationstar. Hire better collections management.

Nationstar oversees Horizon-their foreclosure practices are dismal. I fell on hard times and been trying for modification for three years and cooperated with all paperwork. Time elapsed and all my all paperwork disappeared-they have all the excuses in the book and also was told 3xs that my file expired-how does your file expired with all the paperwork? I have a good one for you-once they led me believe that my modification was almost complete and the last step was to have a broker come to my home to take pics. Boy was i elated-i found out that those pics were going to be distributed on a investor website selling my home from underneath my feet and displacing my family out in the street. I have no respect for this kind of action and where are my rights as a homeowner. The sad part is that they the bank have been bailed out time and time again and my home has changed mortgages 7 times in the last 8 years so in reality the banks have raked in obscene profits on the buying and selling end! In closing; i am currently on my fifth mod try and also the countless times going to the court house in trying to keep my home. The solution is very simple-stop jerking me around and give an opportunity in keeping my home so you can get paid! Any solutions?

These people are unreal with the harassing phone calls. I have never missed a mortgage payment or been late beyond thee 17the. Unfortunately my mortgage was sold to theem from Bank of America. From thee frying pan into thee fire. My mortgage is due in thee 1st of each monthe. It is considered late on thee 17the of thee monthe. If theey do not receive thee payment on or before thee 1st, theey will harass you everyday until theey receive payment. They will call you 5 times a day and more. The people you talk to have no idea what is going on withe each otheer. They blame thee problems on thee otheer departments. Even when you pay theem, it will not clear internally for some reason anywhere from 1 to 3 days. These people you talk to on thee phone will tell you it has not cleared theere department yet. I believe thee only way theat theey can get mortgages is by buying theem therough otheer lenders. Because I can not see anybody using theem on theeir own. Good luck if you use theem.

My parents lost their home of the last 18 years, because Nationstar sold their home while they awaited an answer regarding their HAMP application, without any prior notification, they did not know their home had been sold until October 2011. That's when they started receiving notices and phone calls from several different companies, all claiming to be the new owners, one even claimed to be holding their deed in his hand at that very moment. We immediately looked on-line to see if this could be true and low and behold, the deed was still in their name, and said nothing about anyone else. We figured out what had happened, though later on, Nationstar representatives had told my parents that in order for the HAMP program to work for them they would have to be a couple of months behind on the mortgage. They did as they were advised and it was then that Nationstar decided to sell their home (they were only 2 years from paying off) to Arcadian Investments. So no they were not getting HAMP, and if they wanted to stay they would have to "PAY RENT" to live in their own home. So now my parents, who worked so hard for their home, live in a tiny little single wide in a shabby 55+ mobile home park. And I am left with the question... "How is it that the supposedly helpful HAMP program is being used as a tool for defrauding people out of their homes" ? They are literally stealing and the new owners have received stolen property, this is, in my opinion... A CRIME AND THEY SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE !

They are absolute crooks & have been stealing my mortgage payments for almost a year now. My payments are automactily deducted from my checking account on the due date every month. I have every receipt where they have taken my money out of my checking account yet they have not applied any of the money to my account. I have tried to refinance the house but Nationstar tells the bank that I am not current on my payments even though they have taken the money out of my checking. This is the most frustrating situation, I have never been late on a single payment in 17 years but because of them my credit has been ruined!They are the worstt kind of scam artist trying to steal peoples homes.

Just an update on my personal situation with them. I stopped making my payments to them last September. They have not been able to prove to me that they are nothing more than a servicer on a mortgage that was transfered. Talked to my attorney. Told me to walk away from my home. My payments are $705 a month. Tried to get a loan mod, would only lower it $50 a month. Now they send me notices every two weeks, trying to get me to hand over my keys for $3000 cash or $7, 500 cash. Oh and get this, last week I got another notice telling me I could get the loan modification. What a joke. I have been dealing with these idiots for 2 years now. No online access, no statements, no coupons, just give us money but yet they never recorded my mortgage with the county in which I reside and from what I've been told that is illegal, they can't foreclose. Here in Michigan it takes two years, so I will wait, not pay a dime, and when they finally kick me out take my money and run and rent somewhere. This company is a joke, and yes they are rude, ignorant and you never get the same answer twice or get to talk to the same person.

I could not pay my full mortgage payment in December 2011. I sent less than half the amount because of extenuating circumstances. I called Nationstar to try and make arrangements to pay December payment. To my surprise they denied my request. I am on a very limited income but I still want to keep my home. So I paid 1619.98 for 3 months plus the amount I paid in December and I also included a 70.00 payment for Dec. for late fees. I get a call from one of their very intimidating customer service clerks. I was informed I owe them 3, 237.52 and payment is due NOW. I knew it was no use at all trying to talk to this unfriendly, unbalanced, idiot. I tried to remain calm but it was no use. I do not have 3, 237.52 and I will not have this amount any time soon. I guess Nationstar wants this house in the worst way. This is a very dishonest and treacherous mortgage company. I will not have a home very soon and I don't know what I am going to do. Nationstar will not post my 5, 479.94, it's like I just gave them money for nothing. Foreclosure is a terrible thing to happen to anyone. Please, anyone who may read this. Stay away from Nationstar Mortgage!

They have got to be the worst out there. Have been trying since last fall to get a loan modification with them when our work hours got cut. They keep saying we make too much money to qualify, are they nuts? All we wanted was temporary relief to help us get back on our feet financially and they insisted we fill out paperwork for loan modification for the life of the loan. Kept saying we were "missing paperwork". Unwilling to try and help us out, very rude when you try to explain your situation. Now, without any notice, they say they have started foreclosure. Anyone else out there having these issues?

Raising money for increasing litigation costs?

VERIFIED COMPLAINT FOR WRONGFUL FORECLOSURE
AND JURY DEMAND

Introduction: This complaint alleges inter alia that Nationstar Mortgage wrongfully foreclosed on real property commonly known as 81 Greystone Trial, Black Hawk, Colorado, 80422. Specifically, Nationstar repeatedly and falsely told Plaintiff that his loan modification was either in-process or had been approved, failed to inform plaintiff that his loan-modification application had been denied, and that this failure prevents plaintiff from exercising legal rights, including but not limited to, Chapter 13 bankruptcy, that would have allowed him to retain title to his home, which he largely built with his own hands.

Plaintiff, Keith Cabaniss, pro se, for his complaint against Nationstar Mortgage, swears and affirms that:

1. Defendant, Nationstar Mortgage, is a national mortgage lender that has transacted business in the state of Colorado.

2. Plaintiff, Keith Cabaniss, is an individual who resides in, and previously owned and occupied real property located in Gilpin County, Colorado.

3. The real property that Cabaniss previously owned has a common street address of 81 Greystone Trail, Black Hawk, Colorado, 80422 (the “Home”).

4. The Home is known as parcel no. [protected], in the public records of Gilpin County, Colorado.

5. The legal description of the Home is:

S: 3 T: 2S R: 72W Subd: LA CHULA VISTA RANCH Block: 002 Lot: 013A & IMPS A TRACT OF LAND CREATED BY BLE 04-09 RECPT #122305 & CORRECTED BY BLE 04-09A RECPT #124137 FORMERLY KNOWN AS BLK 2 LOT 13 & EAST 1/2 OF LOT 18.

6. Cabaniss was the first owner of the Home.

7. The Home is located in the mountains of Gilpin County, Colorado.

8. The Home has a unique and spectacular view of the Continental Divide and Longs Peak.

9. Cabaniss designed the Home, and largely built and finished it with his own hands.

10. Cabaniss purchased the land on which the Home resides in November, 2003; built the home from July 2004 through January 2007; and completed its interior and first occupied the Home in January 2007.

11. On May 25, 2007, Cabainss signed a promissory note to Nationstar for the amount of $230, 431.01 (the “Note”).

12. The Note was secured by a Deed of Trust on the Home.

13. Nationstar filed an action on January 17, 2008, to recover title to the Home by having the Gilpin County Public Trustee conduct a public sale of the Home (the “Foreclosure”).

14. On information and belief, Nationstar did not own the Note or hold the corresponding Deed of Trust when it filed the Foreclosure.

15. On information and belief, Nationstar sold the Note and had previously assigned the Note and/or the corresponding Deed of Trust at the time when it filed the Foreclosure and thereafter.

16. On information and belief, Nationstar acted only as the servicer of the Note, i.e. Nationstar did not own the Note, but contracted with the Note’s owner to administer the Note, including to collect payments made on the Note.

17. From January 2008, when Nationstar filed the Foreclosure, through mid-February 2010, Nationstar consistently and repeatedly postponed the sale date in the Foreclosure action.

18. Cabaniss entered the Streamlined Modification Program Loan Workout Plan (“SMP”) February 19, 2009.

19. Nationstar’s agent, Vessia, told Cabaniss on February 27, 2009, that his SMP modification had been approved.

20. Cabaniss made one payment under the SMP.

21. Thereafter, Nationstar called Cabaniss and informed him that SMP had been cancelled, and Cabaniss would instead enter a Trial Period Plan under the Home Affordable Modification Program (“HAMP”).

22. Cabaniss entered HAMP in August 2009.

23. HAMP requires that applicants complete a three month trial period by making the payments that would be required under a proposed modified loan terms. If a HAMP participant makes these required trial-period payments, the participant’s loan may be modified to reflect the trial-period’s payment terms.

24. Cabaniss timely made his August and September payments under HAMP.

25. Cabaniss pre-paid his October HAMP payment with his September payment.

26. In September of 2009, Cabaniss called Nationstar to ensure that it had received his August, September, and October HAMP payments.

27. By timely making his August, September, and October payments to Nationstar, Cabaniss successfully completed the HAMP trial period.

28. Assuming that Cabaniss met other HAMP program requirements, Cabaniss’ successful completion of the HAMP trial period entitled him to have his loan modified in accordance with the trial-period payment terms.

29. Nationstar confirmed to Cabainss that (a) it had received his August, September, and October HAMP payments; and (b) it was sending his plan to another Nationstar department to draft new loan documents for Cabaniss’ new and modified HAMP loan.

30. Cabaniss’ HAMP loan-modification application was denied on or about Septmber 28, 2009.

31. On or shortly after Cabaniss’ HAMP application was denied, Nationstar knew that Cabaniss’ HAMP application had been denied.

32. Nationstar did not notify Cabaniss that his HAMP application had been denied.

33. Nationstar was required to notify Cabaniss that his Hamp application had been denied.

34. Cabaniss did not receive new HAMP loan documents from Nationstar.

35. Cabaniss did not make further payments to Nationstar while he was waiting to receive his new HAMP loan documents.

36. Nationstar consistently told Cabaniss that his new, modified, HAMP loan documents were in progress. The communications between Cabaniss and Nationstar, include, but are not limited to the following communications:

a. Cabaniss called Nationstar on December 10, 2009, and informed it that he had not yet received any new, modified, HAMP loan documents. Nationstar informed Cabaniss that it was "still working to prepare new loan documents, could take another month."

b. Cabaniss called Nationstar again on January 26, 2010. He informed Nationstar that he still had not received the new, new, modified HAMP loan documents. Nationstar told Cabaniss that “everything is ok.”

c. At the time Nationstar made the statements in the immediately preceding paragraphs (a) and (b) to Cabaniss, Nationstar knew that these statements were false.

37. On or about four days after the January, 26, 2010, telephone conversation in which Nationstar told Cabaniss that “everything is OK, ” Nationstar set a sale date for the Foreclosure.

38. The Gilpin County Public Trustee held a Public Trustee’s sale of the Home on February 25, 2010 (the “Foreclosure Sale”).

39. February 26, 2010, was the last date on which Nationstar could schedule the Foreclose Sale without having to file a new action to request a Public Trustee Sale of the Home.

40. At the time of the Foreclosure Sale, Cabaniss had no notice that Nationstar intended to continue with the Foreclosure.

41. Prior to the Foreclosure Sale, Nationstar provided no notice to Cabaniss that Nationstar had set the Foreclosure Sale, or that Nationstar otherwise intended to proceed with the Foreclosure.

42. Cabaniss learned of the Foreclosure Sale on March 3, 2010, when he discovered a notice that Phil Heter, a Denver-based repossession/eviction processor and REO broker, that Fannie Mae now owned the Home.

43. If Cabaniss had had notice of the Foreclosure Sale, he would have been able to exercise legal rights, filing a chapter 13 bankruptcy petition, which would have allowed Cabaniss to prevent the Foreclosure Sale and keep the Home by restructuring his debts and becoming current on the restructured Note over time.

44. After Cabaniss learned of the Foreclosure sale, he again called Nationstar. On March 9, 2010, Cabaniss spoke with Thomas Brown of Nationstar. Cabaniss asked Mr. Brown to have Nationstar rescind the Foreclosure Sale because Nationstar had (a) failed to provide Cabaniss with any notice that it was proceeding with the Foreclosure Sale and (b) had made multiple misrepresentations to Cabaniss regarding the status of his HAMP modification and of his Note to Nationstar.

45. Brown and Cabaniss went through Nationstar’s records of the communications between Cabaniss and Nationstar.

46. Brown stated that Nationstar’s records of its communications with Cabaniss comported with Cabaniss’ own records of these communications, which are reflected in the preceding paragraphs of this Complaint. Brown also confirmed that Nationstar had not notified Cabaniss of the Foreclosure Sale or of that Cabaniss’ HAMP application had been denied.

47. Despite his concurrence with the facts as Cabaniss presented them, Brown and Nationstar refused to rescind the Foreclosure Sale. More specifically:

a. Cabaniss asked Brown, “What Happened?”

b. Brown responded, "Something transpired."

c. In response to further questions from Cabaniss, Brown would not reveal what transpired, refused to rescind the Foreclosure Sale, stated that he was going to terminate the telephone call, and then hung up.

48. On May 17th, Cabaniss held a conference call with Geraldo Hernandez of Nationstar and Jeff Plaine of Money Management (a HUD-certified loan counselor).

49. During this May 17th conference call, Hernandez again affirmed that:

a. Nationstar’s records of its communications comported with Cabaniss’ own records of these communications, which are reflected in the preceding paragraphs of this Complaint;

b. Nationstar did not notify Cabaniss that his HAMP loan-modification application had been denied.

c. Nationstar did not notify Cabaniss of the Foreclosure Sale date or that Nationstar was proceeding with the Foreclosure Sale.

50. On May 20, 2010, Cabaniss spoke via telephone with Chelsea Giles of Nationstar Mortgage’s legal compliance department in Dallas, TX. He asked why Nationstar proceeded with the Foreclosure Sale despite having informed Cabaniss that “everything is OK.”

a. Chelsea Giles responded that there had been a "miscommunication between [Nationstar’s] Loss Mitigation and HAMP department[s]."

b. Thereafter, Cabaniss asked Chelsea "Why am I being held accountable for miscommunication within Nationstar?"

c. Chelsea Giles responded, “There is no explanation."

I recently received my annual escrow account disclosure statement in the mail and had a shock when I opened it. NationStar will be charging me an additional $300 starting in April on top of what I already pay a month for my mortgage over the next year because it seems that they made a price mistake on PMI on my re-fi loan which was closed back in 2010. They apologized for their mistake, but now I'm stuck with paying an additional $300 dollars a month which I cannot afford for their mistake during a refi back in 2010. Why wasn't this caught sooner? Now I owe owe owe for over a year's worth for their mistake. Is there anything I can do? Please help! fyi: The closing numbers were the numbers we settled on and are listed on the closing documents, it wasn't like they gave me a different number than what we signed for on the closing documents.

I'm a Denver Realtor who has seen this company's dirty work with many of my clients. DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH THESE PEOPLE. What a bunch on ignorant monkeys. Common sense and company pride goes directly out the window with this company from the highest offices (### collecting a paycheck) to the grade school dropouts that answer the phones, transferring to extensions that don't exist, lying, delaying paperwork intentionally, appraising properties far above market value to force a foreclosure on owners that attempt short sales. If you're looking for a recourse as I have against these punks, there are numerous real estate attorneys in the Denver area that have very reasonable retainer fees. Oliver Frascona is a reputable one I hear. [protected]
If anyone has information on how to join a class action on this company, please post. Thank you!

I was notified back in April of 2011 that my Escrow had become negative and my mortgage payment would be increasing. I immediately called Nation star mortgage to start a modification and was told that I could not get one because I had one two years earlier with another lender. I called Fanny Mae and they saidd that they could modify my loan. After six months and several faxes of paperwork Fanny Mae had done nothing. I then called Nation star and they saidd that they would modify the loan. After several more faxes and months they agreed to a payment and I started the trial period of three months on the new payment. I called two weeks a go and asked when I would be receiving my final documents and they said shortly. I received an automated call yesterday to contact Nation star so I called them this morning and was told that they needed me to start all over with the process. Going on one year I lost it and told them that this is crazy. What is going on with Nation star Mortgage?

Vermin indeed! This company recently purchased our mortgage. In mid-January of 2012, they sent us notice that our adjustable mortgage was to increase in March of 2012. The problem lies in that they had used the wrong index to calculate this increase. On Jan 31st, 2012, I contacted them and spoke with Arlene who said that a research request would be sent and that I'd have a resolution within a week. Nearly 10 days later, on 2/8/12, I called again to check status and was told by a man named Chase that thee was no record of any request being sent for research on this matter. Then, he just repeated the steps that were taken in my 1st call to them. I pressed Chase on the matter, saying that everytime I hang up the phone with them, I risk losing 10 days with nothing being done. I was hopeful that I could get deeper than the Customer service rep to try and get some resolution, as the date of mortgage adjustment was rapidly approaching and there was no time to waste. I was refused and it was made clear to me that there was no other course of action for me to take except for waiting for the request to take it's course. Subsequent to this issue, I have discovered that Nationstar has made an error in my mortgage interest reporting to the IRS, causing me to expend as of yet unknown effort in making corrections onn that issue, as well. The mortgage adjustment error is over $100 monthly, and the IRS error appears to be in the $5, 000 range. Have filed a complaint with the Better Business Bureau and will be contacting our states attorney general.

I fought with this company for an entire year trying to get my loan modified after it was sold to them by another company. I finally got the home modified. I had to move out because of other matters and was allowd to put the home up for short sale. After I found a buyer for the home, nationstar foreclosed on the home without informing me, and would not work with me on letting the buyer proceed. Although I was offered a deed in lieu of a foreclosure, they would not give me the necessary time to proceed with that procedure. This is the worse company I have ever worked with and I really feel sorry for anyone that gets involved with them. The government really need to do something about their business practices.

Got a bill from nationstar aug 2011 for a second mortgage on a home that we sold. Turned out that first horizon sold/transferred a loan that had been sold in feb 2008! They even acknowledged that their records indicated it had been sold. After 3 months of telephone calls, faxes and emails to nationstar including but not limited to settlement paperwork and a satisfaction of mortgage from the state of florida, I was told I needed to "provide something that proves the loan was satisfied. "

I just about lost my mind when I went back to first horizon in frustration and was informed that once they transfer the loan they cannot get involved. They also told me that along with my loan nationstar has full access to the file attached which would include the paperwork that says the house was sold!

I cannot believe this is still going on and that I am being hounded by nationstar (Who is a debt collecting mortgage company for those of you that don't know) and am considering getting a lawyer to sue them if what they are doing effects my credit.
