    Company offered a disaster forbearance back in june 2024 allowing me to postpone my july and august payments. They told me I would have options to restructure my loan and add the skipped payments on to the end of the loan. After them giving me the runaround for several months on this, I have started getting letters saying my loan is in default and theyre going to take action if I didnt pay the balance in full by 1 December. They kept telling me to wait longer and wait longer. That this process could take up to 30 days. Its been 3 months at this point and theyre still not pushing any progress on this. *** has put me in a position that I had to take a loan out to repay this balance to avoid getting my house foreclosed on.

    Good Evening,

    I am contacting you on behalf of United Wholesale Mortgage, LLC ("UWM") regarding our response to the concerns expressed by Mr. ************* We have noted that the Bureau did not include a signed authorization from the borrower allowing *** to share information regarding this loan with the Bureau.  We have responded directly to Mr. ****** addressing concerns and, upon receipt of a signed borrower's authorization form, *** will be happy to provide a copy of our response to the Bureau as well. It should be noted that as this is the second response provided to Mr. ****** regarding the same inquiry, we will not be providing any further responses to duplicate inquiries.

    Better Business Bureau:

    I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ********, and have determined that this proposed action would not resolve my complaint.  For your reference, details of why I am rejecting this response appear below:

    They have offered ABSOLUTELY NO solution. They've essentially told me, "sucks to be you".
    They tell me theyre going to foreclose on my home if I dont pay them, so I put myself in a very bad financial position to get this cleared up as to not lose my house, and now theyre saying oh tough ****, you paid us so youre fine and dont need any assistance.

    This company keeps calling me nonstop soliciting a mortgage application. Theyve called 27 times in 24 hours. They do not take no for an answer, they talk over you, they will not put you down as not being interested, and if you hang up the same person will call back immediately. *** never contacted this business for any type of service. I was told they saw I had my credit pulled for a home loan, and that gives them the right to contact me this type of harassment and boiler room calling techniques needs to stop. They use spoofed phone numbers to continually call you and disguise their number.

    Good Afternoon,


    I am contacting you on behalf of United Wholesale Mortgage, LLC ("UWM") regarding our response to the concerns expressed by Mr. ******** We have responded directly to Mr. ******* addressing concerns via ***** categorically denying the claims of solicitation allegedly performed by ***. As noted in our response to Mr. ******* "UWM is a wholesale lender working with a network of local mortgage brokers to originate mortgage loans throughout the country and does not forward solicitations directly to consumers either via phone or by mail.  Regrettably, third parties not affiliated with *** often attempt to solicit business from consumers while claiming to be our representative, and unfortunately, *** is unable to limit this activity. We have not been provided with any specific information regarding the contact you have received. However, upon receipt of specific details regarding this contact, *** will take steps to issue cease and desist letters to the parties initiating the contact with you. If you have any additional information you can provide regarding this contact, we urge you to send this information to our Consumer Advocate Team at ************************ at your earliest convenience." ************** is able to provide documentation regarding the parties responsible for the contact he is receiving, *** will be more than happy to issue cease and desist letters to these parties as *** does not solicit directly to borrowers. We look forward to receipt of any information Mr. ******* may provide to *************************

    They sold my mortgage to a company, " ****************", with a 1-star rating as per BBB only because you had no lower rating. I don't trust this company, "****************" with my mortgage. Can't find one good thing about this company. United Wholesale Mortgage sold my mortgage only after 6 months without any notification and gave me no choice in this sale. I would have stopped this sale to a company as bad as this. This should not be legal. The homeowner should have some say in this matter after all when I refinanced with "Swift Home Loans" I had some say.

    We applied for a mortgage with our local bank on Saturday, July 21st, 2024. First thing Monday morning I began receiving calls ever ***** minutes from various entities such as "Equity Express" who are subsidiaries of United Wholesale Mortgage. Their calls were unsolicited, as I never submitted any information to them. Instead, they saw the credit inquiry and have been harassing me all morning, trying to "show me my options" even though my local bank has them beat. I have asked them to remove my husband and I from their call list, told them we are not interested in their services, and still am receiving calls that interrupt my work day.

    Predatory practices against customers in need after a declared disaster. We recently suffered heavy roof and property damage to wind and hail after some really bad storms over memorial day weekend. I cant afford to pay my $4400 deducible. I contacted *** about any options I had for them to help me out. Their system recognized that I was in a declared disaster area and they told me there were options that could help in my situation with payment deferrals. They told me they could set up a payment forbearance plan so I could skip a couple mortgage payments with no penalty while it was sorted. It was CLEARLY stated (they can go back and listen to their recorded phone call) that I would have the option to defer the missed payments to the end of the loan, among other repayment options, and that we would sort that out near the end of the forbearance period. I say ok sounds good lets do that. Sounds like its what I need here. A few weeks later I get a letter in the mail saying they want full payment of both months of the forbearance period when it ends at the beginning of September. After getting the runaround for a couple more weeks and being assigned a "dedicated agent" that was impossible to contact, and would hang up before I could even get my phone out of my pocket to answer her call, I was finally able to speak to someone about my options at the end of the forbearance period and find out why this letter is saying they want it all in September. "No, thats not an option" is what I am told now. You can pay it in full in September, split the missed payments up into a repayment plan over the next 3 months (nearly $2000 extra a month i still cant afford), or refinance the whole mortgage and pay over $100,000 more over the term of my loan. The old bait and switch I guess. I live on set disability income and they just expect me to pull thousands of dollars out of nowhere. Youd think theyd want to help me sort this situation out considering how vested they are in it.

    ********************* from UWM called and talked me into taking out a HELOC loan with them. He told us our payments would $208 per month. I sat up automatic payments for double the minimum payment, to be automatically drafted on the 1st of every month. They failed to take the June 1st payment from my account and sold the account to another loan servicer on June 2nd. The new mortgage servicer has hit me with late fees (I guess because they did not take the payment when they were supposed to), overdrew my checking account by $500, and sent me a next months bill for 4 times as much as I was told the minimum payment was going to be; nearly a whole mortgage payment. The new servicer has informed me that my minimum payments are actually DOUBLE what ********************* told me they would be.

    I am in the process of moving into a new home and this company keeps giving me the run around and I am needing a straight answer. I have made multiple calls and spoken to multiple people and receive different information each time and no one lets me speak to a supervisor. They keep passing the blame back and forth between the lending company and the time is running out and I have my home packed up and we&#**;re ready to move out. I&#**;ve been told we can&#**;t have 2 VA loans out at the same time and someone else is saying yes we can. I just need to speak to someone who can give me the right answer before 7/1/2024 when I&#**;m supposed to move out.
