“Didn't pay the property tax on time and no one contacted me... Walk away from this lender”

Mr Cooper is a terrible mortgage company please stay away if you can. Mr Cooper didn't pay the property tax on time until I found out was too late I needed to pay the later pay fee and customer service from Mr Cooper told me that they can't do anything to help me or give me refund... worst lender ever...

“An absolute nightmare - Don't do business with this Mortgage Company”

DANIEL B.
7/16/24

They will disappoint you - big time. It took over a year after my brother's death to get this mortgage company to do what's right. Finally after 10 letters and 5 email messages to their website trying to get a final settlement check issued in a way that could be cashed at my bank, one finally came after my tenth letter (a lengthy letter from the Executor) lambasting their customer service for the way they treated this account. Sure glad its over with.

We are filing suits against them for multiple reasons. Do not even get close to this company, or should I say soon not to be a company.

Have been involved with them since they bought my original mortgage from Bank of America over 10 years ago, back then known as Nationstar and now recently rebranded as 'MRCOOPER' to sound cute or whatever. The short of it is this company acts purely as a debt collector and will treat one as a delinquent borrower even when still paying within the grace period past the due date or before the last day the payment would be considered late, typically between the 1st and 16th of the month. On that note I've never been late, ever. But they'll still call back to back about 'reviewing teh status of muh account' every month.

In my case the short of my biggest discontent with them is that they try to keep the monthly payment as high as possible by refunding any excess balances left in escrow so they can in turn call non-stop about 'refinancing to lower my monthly payment'. One can dump anywhere from $1-10,000 to escrow and they will return it all as a surplus before just leaving it in there to be used to lower a year's payment or cover any future obligations.

Furthermore for purposes of refinancing they don't care if they've owned the loan for over 10 years and you've never missed a payment. Their underwriting department will basically treat you as they would any other non-client borrower far as documentation requirements plus their origination fees are astronomical.

Also the way they offer HELOCs is a bait and switch by which they'll draw you in saying you can keep the existing terms of your mortgage such as current rate and repayment term with a special cashout program they have for existing clients that is not a refinance, etc. but in reality it really is just a typical second mortgage or a HELOC, so it'll just be an additional loan to repay with way higher rate than the current mortgage interest plus tacked on origination fees and so on.

All in all if I could refinance or just pay off the mortgage faster just to be rid of this company I would.

This is the worst mortgage company. The people on the phone are clueless when you call in to ask a question. Why was it switched in the first place?

Their customer service is awful. They pretend you can contact them in ways other than by phone but if you do they always tell you to call them anyway so they just waste your time pretending the other methods are viable. Then when you call them, THEY DON'T LISTEN TO YOU. I called with a question. The rep thought she knew what I was asking, cut me off and launched into a script. I tried interjecting repeatedly to tell her that wasn't what I was asking. She essentially told me to shut up so she could finish answering the question I didn't ask. I've never interacted with any customer service that rude or terrible. I wrote a complaint. Mr Cooper replied with a letter telling me they'd investigated the complaint. Their summary of the complaint also revealed they were totally missing the point. Their summary ended with them saying they found the jerk rep who doesn't listen to the CUSTOMER when providing CUSTOMER SERVICE had done nothing wrong. Neither the rep OR the company I complained to about the rep ever bothered to LISTEN TO WHAT I WAS SAYING. This is literally the worst customer service I've ever dealt with. If mortgage rates ever become more favorable than what we have locked in I am 100% REFINANCING JUST SO I CAN STOP GIVING MR COOPER MY MONEY. Also their reps (even the ones that don't overtly not care what you're saying) give you false info. I was told by Mr Cooper that my escrow pmt increased because of insurance. I called the insurance Mr Cooper's claim flat out wasn't true. I hope they go out of business. It defies reason that such a poorly run and managed company should continue to exist.

Tip for consumers:
Don’t. Avoid at all costs.

My problem with Mr. Cooper's incompetence was what should be a simple one. They posted the incorrect (by $7.00 less) than my check was clearly written for, both numerically and in long hand. My next monthly statement indicated my payment was $7.00 more than it should be. After reviewing my cancelled check and my bank statement which indicated the correct amount (as written on the check) was deducted from my account, I thought I'd give them a call and get this problem rectified. BIG MISTAKE.

This is the most incompetent company I have ever dealt with and, as a result, if they can get the payoff amount correct, I am paying off my loan with them next month. First, it took me at least 10 minutes on the "robo merry-go-round" before I could finally get to a "know nothing customer service representative". After I asked for a supervisor (she said they didn't have them... only people that deal with problems that have been escalated to a higher level. After another 10-15 minutes I finally got hold of one and he was more useless than the initial representative. The first gal said they keep copies of the checks, so I knew that they should be able to pull it up and verify the amount was correct and then remove the $7.00 "overdue" charge. No, that would be too easy, if they indeed keep the checks like they said.

Instead, they wanted me to send them a copy of my check AND a copy of my bank statement that showed my bank actually took the correct amount out. I told them that it is not my place to fix their problems and I was not about to send them a copy of my bank statement. They said that was the only way they'd remove that $7.00. After nearly an hour (total) the guy wouldn't allow me to talk to anyone with some authority and that's the way it is.

In summary, if I could, I'd give them a minus 5 but, hopefully, enough people will read all of the negative comments about this company (their rating is a 1 out of 5) and not be foolish enough to do business with them. If they decide to... I wish them luck, because they'll need it..

Don't trust them! Mr. Cooper purchased my loan in September of 2021. From September through November they did not have my account set up due to pending paperwork from my previous loan provider. Even though this was the case, I made sure to make my mortgage payments to them each month. I have the bank statements to prove that my payments went to Mr. Cooper (this information has also been provided to them). In October of 2022, I tried to get a Home Equity Loan with Discover. My loan was completely processed in underwriting and just needed the Mortgage Verification from Mr. Cooper. When they filled it out, they put that September was not "N/A", October was 60 days delinquent and November was 30 days delinquent. My payment was never late to Mr. Cooper or my previous mortgage company. I was never and have never been delinquent. They have refused to remedy the situation by simply sending a letter acknowledging their mistake to Discover. My loan has been closed with Discover due to their inaccurate reporting, which they admit was never even reported to credit agencies because it wasn't true. I desperately needed to pull equity from my home to make it in this current economy. This has greatly affected my life financially. I have no faith in Mr. Cooper to accept my payments, record them accurately, or even do business in good faith. I couldn't be more disappointed in a company for their total lack of concern for their customer. I made my payments, I've covered my track with a paper trail of proof and they were still able to do this to me. Shame on them. I will not stop telling everyone I know, leaving reviews everywhere I can, and emailing any "important" person at Mr. Cooper.

I would give them a negative 5 stars if I could. My first dispute with them arose from a bankruptcy where we included them in the bankruptcy notification stating that it was our intention to repay the mortgage. They conveniently lost this paperwork and never corrected it. Our mortgage continued to show as "in bankruptcy" for years and they refused to correct it, which lowered our credit rating.
Next, we needed to get a countersignature on an insurance claim check. Even though they have headquarters in Dallas, which is where we live, they insisted that we MAIL the $17,000 check to them to countersign, and they would then mail it back, and refused to overnight it or pay even for a signature or tracking. AFter two weeks, the check still hadn't arrived and I called to track it down. It turned out that they sent the check to an address where we hadn't lived in three years. The had the correct address, though, because all their other correspondence came to the right address. But they said that was a "different department."? What? In this day and age they don't have one database of all their customers? Eventually the check was returned to them undeliverable and they again sent it to us, almost a month after we sent it to them to sign.
When it came time to sell the house, they lost the paperwork for providing our title company a payoff statement, so we had to do send it again. Every time I called about an issue, I talked to someone different who didn't know anything about the history of the issue so I had to explain it all again.
These were just a few of the issues I ran into. But I am getting a headache just thinking about them so I'll stop here.
I do NOT recommend working with this company!
