Two checks for my house repair have been returned

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
I was forced to endorse my Allstate claims check and send to Flagstar, my mortgage company. Twice you have sent a check and both times it has been returned "unable to locate". The first time didn't impact my finances but the second time, the bank teller said it was okay and the funds will be available the next day. I wrote a check for $30,000.00 to my contractor. Then I received notification that the second flagstar check was "unable to locate". WTF. Now I have an outstanding $30,000.00 check and a negative balance in my checking which usually has a healthy cushion.

Terrible mortgage servicing

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

My mortgage was transferred/sold to Flagstar Bank and I have not been impressed at all. They wanted to CHARGE ME nearly $800 to have them NOT pay my home insurance through the escrow.

Why would I pay them not to provide a service? If I've paid for my own insurance and have provided them proof of insurance, then they should lower my monthly payment to reflect the fact that I don't need them to hold my insurance payment in escrow. They certainly shouldn't CHARGE ME to have them stop taking and holding my money each month.

Additionally, their payment system is terrible. When you try to schedule out your autopay, it won't let you set a date in the future that goes beyond your current statement.

That's stupid. I put in a one-time payment for the current month. Why do I then have to wait and log in again at some future date to enroll in autopay for the following month? Perhaps they're trying to protect people from setting up autopay and then missing a payment...

but people should be able to figure out that if they set up their autopay for a future date, they still have to cover their current payment. It's a stupid system. The information provided on their website is also bare bones. I much preferred UWM's interface.

Not impressed w/ Flagstar Bank at all. Oh, and their automated phone system is a time waster as well.

View full review
Pros:
  • Still looking for one
Cons:
  • Bare bones online interface
  • Terrible escrow system

Preferred solution: A better payment system and online interface. A better way to contact customer service. A way to provide customer feedback that will result in positive changes.

User's recommendation: Avoid if you can. Lament if they buy your mortgage after the fact.

Your autopay setup is the absolute worst and most frustrating things I've ever had to deal with in this world. And that's saying a lot because this world has so many messed up things.

There is absolutely no logical reason that I should have to sign up for auto pay, within a 10 day window that begins 4 days into the future. Meaning, if I want my payment to come out on the 1st of every month, I have to remember to log in no more than 10 days prior to my due date, but no less than 4 days. And if your having a hard time following what I'm saying, it's because it's the stupidest thing I've ever had to use my fingers to type. I didn't ask to have my mortgage serviced by such an incompetent bank, but here I am, dealing with it because you obviously have enough money to purchase my mortgage, but not enough to figure out how to service your customers.

Oh, and you also don't seem to have enough money to provide an app for your customers to have access to their accounts.

I guess we're all living in 2004 instead of 2024. Thanks for nothing, and I hope you sell my mortgage to some other bank on the near future.

Insurance Claim

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

My house burned down in November. I sent in my claim check in April, they applied the funds to the wrong loan even though I wrote the information with the check.

They have had $420,000 of my money and I can not get reimbursed for my $17,500 bill that I paid out of pocket to have the rubble from my home taken away. I have spent over 6 hours on the phone and every time I call it is like the first time. I am starting to believe that this is a scam to earn interest on the money that is mine. To say they are completely inept would be too generous.

I think they are scammers and criminals.

Since they misplaced my funds, they should have instantly fixed it, instead it has been 6 weeks with nothing. It may be worth getting other people together in a lawsuit if this is their MO.

Flagstar misplace $420,000 and won't reimburse my expenses in a timely manner.

My home burned down and I had to give my entire insurance check to Flagstar to rebuild. They lost the money by placing it in the wrong account and now will not pay me for expenses totaling $17,500 that I paid out of pocket.

I believe they are making it as hard as they can so they can stall and make interest on my nearly half a million dollars. They should be sued by a group of people who they have done this to.

Cons:
  • Scammer make everything difficult to earn on large sums of money

UNFAIR BUSINESS PRACTICES

On September 20, 2022, Airbnb took $427.04 from my Flagstar Bank Account. I moved out of an apartment I was renting through Airbnb on August 30, 2022.

I paid the final electric bill and had a final inspection on August 30, I received a handwritten receipt from the person that did the final inspection. Flagstar Bank returned the money back to my checking account after I filed a dispute with them. Dispute # 1704**** More than 16 weeks have pasted and Flagstar takes the money back out of my account again. I spoke with a banker on the phone and was told that Airbnb submitted a lot of documents.

I have asked Flagstar Bank for a copy of the document that gave Airbnb the right to take money from my account when I already have moved from the unit. Flagstar Bank has not given me the requested documents or the reason the money was taken from my account again. I followed the same procedure I had done earlier when leaving a unit before the schedule date, however this time Airbnb took money from my account although I had already moved out. I desire to see the document that Flagstar Bank used for their reason to debit my account again.

And the money should be returned back to my account asap. I have given Flagstar Bank all the supporting documents, the receipt for the final inspection, the notice of moving I gave to the host, and the statement showing the money was taken from my account.d

This is a terrible bank for a mortgage. They understand estimated my escrow twice in less than three months totaling nearly 11k.

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
I had a mortgage through Chase and this never happened. No only did they underestimate my taxes they calculated my pmi incorrectly and didn't pay my home insurance the first year I bought my home. Avoid this bank at all costs.

Flagstar Website Access for Mortgage Payments

Good morning,

My name is Andrew Norris and I am a United States Marine. I am currently stationed in Iwakuni Japan, but I own a house in Pensacola Florida.

Flagstar Bank is the servicer for the mortgage on this property. When I try to access the web portal to make payments on my mortgage I get an access denied message with error code 1020. This may be because my IP Address is a Japanese IP Address. If I try to rely on mailing checks Payments may frequently be late due to the amount of time it takes for U.S.

mail to get to and from Japan.

If there is any way to access the website to pay my mortgage online from Japan. Please let me know.

Flagstar is a terrible place. There is a chance that your loan has been mishandled.

Look at their Yelp reviews.

Talk to an attorney. You are not alone!

Terrible systems

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

I have had the displeasure of having to deal with Flagstar for several years with a loan. We had an insurance claim on the property with the loan and we had to send the insurance check to Flagstar to get it endorsed and sent back.

It's been almost 3 months and I still haven't gotten the check back. They are completely incompetent. Each time I call to get an update, they cannot find my name on the loan, even though my name is clearly on the loan. Of course, if we defaulted on the loan, they would be able to find my name.

When I ask to be transferred to someone else who can find my name, they refuse to do so and say that they cannot help me. It's ridiculous how difficult it has been to resolve this issue.

On the random and lucky instances that they find my name and are able to "help me", they assure me that "the check is in the mail", but I still have not received the insurance check back. I cannot wait to be done with this loan with Flagstar because I will NEVER do business with them again.

They are useless

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
They kept an insurance claim check for nearly a year, even though we sent them all the information that the requested, even though not required in our original mortgage. The only way that I am getting it was to refinance to another company. Do not use their chat feature as they cannot answer any questions. The response is always we do not have access to the information that you need. Speaking with a live person is the same. They started their own insurance company and claimed that my current insurance was not good enough. Sent snail mail and email almost every other day about their new insurance company.

Horrible customer service

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

I had the displeasure of dealing with their rude customer service rep Jesse today at around (3:15pm central time 10/21/2021). He has such a horrible attitude and was exasperating throughout as if any request I made was a bother to him.

His communication was very poor and the call took much longer than needed with awkward unexplained silences throughout. At one point during the call he was so frustrated that he clearly cursed out loud. When he realized that I had not hung up yet, he had tried to ask if everything went okay. I said "yes" and politely asked if he could hang up so I can complete the survey at the end of the call.

He paused and let more time go by without hanging up. I insisted that I wanted to stay for a survey a 2nd time before he finally hung up. Please only hire people who actually want to help and not unprofessional hood people like him.

Flagstar can go back and find this call if they care at all to take any measures to improve their customer service. Thank you.
