We provided Indy Mac all the requested information to modify our home and 9 months later we have a foreclosure date after we were told that our home WOULD not go into foreclosure...They kept telling us that our home was in review, review, review.....

They have failed to send me information about how they can help me. I need a way to remodify the arm loan that they gave me on the first place. My husband and I can make our figures work by reducing other expenses - but the arm will be expiring and we don't want to be paying amounts that will not reduce the total principal amount. Please help




by Anonymous From Island Lake, IL on October 27, 2009
After trying to work with them for a long time I have noticed that you can never talk to the same person and everyone tells you something different. You would think their customer service department would be much more understanding. Maybe it is their job to give you the run around until your home is in foreclosure. They certainly are not there to assist you. At least they have a job.




by Terry Ann Ramsey From Island Lake, IL on October 27, 2009
You are told to talk to your mortgage company to find a path to take for help. Everyone I talk to at Indy Mac tells me something different which only adds to my total confusion.

They're terrible from customer service to VP to CEO. They do not care because they are not in our shoes. Their customer service department is very rude,they are you to keep feeling out that damn packet to deny you. I the government has given them the money and they want to keep it in house. I think we all should get together and file a class action lawsuit and contact the white house and let them know what's going on

It is amazing how all of the comments about Indy Mac that I have read on this page are exactly how my husband and I feel! It is a shame that they are able to get away with this! Unfortunately, our loan was sold to IndyMac from Quicken loans! We have had two short sale buyers very interested and both have fallen through because of IndyMac's lack of response! We told them we were going to need help before the loan went into default and they said there was nothing they could help us with. They actually told us we had to be in default! I guess they don't like proactive consumers! They were part of the housing problem and instead of using the bailout for good, they just keep on keeping on! UGGHH!

I was given little advice/recommendations available for my situation short of foreclosure without digging and prodding bank representatives. I was never contacted for questions after completing extensive financial packets needed to assess my financial situation. Nor was I kept abreast of the accuracy, completeness, and/or overall useability of my packet. I feel that if a customer reaches an abnormal financial situation were a bank has a majority interest in the outcome of a property or loan, then that bank should communicate to their borrower rights, options, steps, and situational advice to solve the problem. Not just drop a packet to be completed in the mail and not call or follow up after recieving their requested information. After all, this not only effects the borrower but also the lender in these tough economic times.




by Eleanor From Browns Mills, NJ on August 15, 2009
The reason why you can't get anywhere with Indymac is because they make more money foreclosing on homes than they do modifying loans. I also tried to do a modification and they lied to me. Took my money promising to vacate my foreclosure then came up with some story that my ex-husband cancelled the modification. Then 2 months later they said it was because the investor had not approved the modification. They claimed they never received one of my payments too! Write a Qualified Written Request asking them to provide all the documents for your loan (mortgage, note, HUD, etc, a detailed account of charges and where those charges have been applied, and who actually owns the loan) You can find some good examples of a Qualified Written Request online. Make sure you ask them to provide as much information as possible. According to Truth in Lending Laws (See 12 USC 2605(e) and 15 USC 1641(f)(2))They must acknowledge receipt within 20 (make sure you send it certified mail) and have 60 days to respond.(Truth in Lending violation if they don't and I assure you they won't send all info you request). Also issues on their authority to actually foreclose. LOTS of good info on Livinglies website. (Just google "Livinglies") To the person who lost your home even though you had paid them and had proof...sue for triple damages (fraud). Fight these criminals. I am! Good luck!

I tried personally for two years to work with IndyMac after the demise of my previous marriage. They did not help me. I have submitted approximately four loan modification packages. Two were lost, and one was rejected, and the other was submitted by LTV Financial (this one is supposed to be in negotiations)

by Mark Powell From Glasgow, KY on July 10, 2009
Communication has been an issue......tried through an attorney's para-legal to communicate a loan modification, but the communication broke down and IndyMac's attorneys are more aggressive to seek foreclosure. IndyMac representative apparently told our attorney's office they had worked out a solution to forgive the 4 missed mortgage pmts. and lower the interest rate from 8% to 4%. Again, poor communication and IndyMac will not send a loan modification proposal to us.

I have been trying to work with Indymac Bank for over two years and gotten nothing but lies told to me and the run around from their customer service reps to their loan litigation team. This bank should be investigated and held responsible for all their poor decisions that effect peoples lives and the bad info they give out. After a 120 days of negotiations and them costantly losing my paperwork was finally turned down for a loan modification. That was only after they refused to even work with me until I was 60 days past due. Now with all their extra charges cannot make up the pmts even if I wanted to. They are liers and do not do one thing they claim they will do. I hope this bank goes under for all thier false claims and bad mortgages they did. This loan never should of gone down if they were actually looking for my best interest.

We tried everything they told us to do. Me and my husband are both disable. I sent them my whole check to keep them from foreclosing on us, but they did. They sent us a paper said that we had only 10 days to vacant our property. They even said, that we were not living in our home. Someone came out and was going to clean up our property because they was told by Indymac Bank that it was vacant over six months. We have lived in our home since 1987. We qualified for modification but they lied to us about that to.

There are about 4 agents who actually care and know what they are talking about. I learned to call in the morning and I was lucky enough to speak to the same agent twice. She answered all my questions, and had some good suggestions to lower the escrow shortage. I say call in the morning and if you get a rude operator hang up and call back. But call in the morning every time. Fewer operators work early and seem to know what they are talking about.

IndyMac 90% of the staff are rude and disrespectful. If you call 10 times you get 10 diferrent answers from the rep. and no matter how many times you request to speak with a supervisor, they will not put you through. I don't believe IndyMac wants to or is even trying to keep people in their homes.

Even before we got into this situation and the economy, we made many attempts to try and work something out with IndyMac, but they did not give an inch. Their reps were so unprofessional and rude. We were trying to be proactive and do the right thing so as to stay in a home we thought we would retire in, but they did not respond in an amenable way.

When I found I could not make my mortgage payment, I called IndyMac to see what could be done. I offered to pay something towards the loan, they declined, stating I had to pay the entire payment of $2,300- every month. I have had the house on the market since 09/07. I asked if they would accept the payments when the house sold, again, they declined. They would not work with me, even though I called and spoke to several different representatives. Then, they (or someone from another country)called me every night for months to tell me to make the payments, find more income. Very frustrating.

The company led me on for 5 months telling me not to make a payment until the remodification goes through then sends me forclosure papers telling me that it didnt go through after we signed the loan papers. Now expect me to pay 1000.00 a month. 50% of our income.

Horribly bloated interest rates. Feel like we were taken advantage of when we restructured our original mortgage.




by T. Reid Massingill From Spring Hill, FL on August 08, 2008




by Maud Cassagnol From Delray Beach, FL on August 07, 2008
The main complaint we have against that mortgage company is that they let us borrow more money than the property was worth. At the time we purchased the house, we trusted their appraiser to make sure the house was worth the asking price; and found out later that similar houses were being sold at the same time and in the same neighborhood for significantly lesser amounts. The result is that the house is now unsellable. When we started having problems, Indymac would not even consider refinancing because the value of the home does not amount that of our debt. We think it was the job of the bank's appraiser to verify that the bank did not lend more money than the property could cover.

These bankers are rude and liars. We took out a construction loan and were told that we'd get a 4.375 during the construction @ 15 mos. Before we signed the docs, the 4.375 was not there. I coctacted our rep who kept insisting it was there. What we saw was a 5.75%. Finally, they agreed and wrote an addendum to reflect the agreed upon rate. Then we later could not finish to the deadline. We went 6 mos after the deadline. The first 3 mos we agreed and signed a doc stating that we would pay the additional $1700 p/mon (of those 3 mos as we had not gone into the 4th mo yet) for not finishing on time. The last 3 mos the lady rep told us that she would not charge us if we got the C-O by the last 3 of the 6 mos we went over. Then Indy mac would not work w/us when the loan went to mortgage (roll to perm) and gave us a 6.8%-outrageious. We asked for even a 6.7 and they would not budge even though they had already made $30,000 off of us in fees and interest. They also charged us the additional $1700 the last 3 mos inspite of us telling them that the lady would not charge us. Before we ahd refinanced the loan amount had not included the extra $1700 as they had assumed we were rolling to perm w/them. It was only after the fact that they decided to charge us. They said that since that lady had quit, they had to charge us. The woman on the phone asked why we didn't stay w/them and refianced as if to say they would not have charged us those fees if we had not left their bank. When they sent out their inspector, who was not a real county inspector, they would not follow the county inspector's percentage of completion. As a result, they would not release any more money. We could not pay the electrician. Fortunately, our electrician accepted out classic car as payment. Soonafter, Indymac unbeknownst that we were able to pay the electrician, out loan went to the foreclosure dept. By that time the County gave us the C-O and we sent Indymac the C-). They had no choice but to roll to perm. Fortunately, we refinanced w/another bank before all their messes came to light. Do not refinance w/them or take out loans. They do not care about their customers at all. Their crooks and liars.

They are the WORST ever! Indymac Bank was quick to get this loan approved three years ago, in fact DAYS! Then when I need help, it's been since January 4th..I sent in Hardship application b/c my mtg went from $1100 a month to $2300 that November. I rec'd a letter on Feb 29th that they were working on it. You can't talk to anyone, then someone calls me on Apr 20th and leaves a message. I tried calling back for a week, nothing, only a voice mail. Then I finally reached someone and they said they'd get back to me in a week. Then nothing. Then I call AGAIN the same person, they said "we called you on Apr 20th" I said I KNOW I TALKED TO YOU SINCE THEN!!!! Then they said they'd get in touch with me in 72 hours. I called in 72 hours...nothing, could not get in touch with anyone, they won't even give you to a supervisor! THIS IS RIDICULOUS!!! I a now 3 months behind. They will start foreclosure proceedings after this time frame. They are doing this on purpose so that you fall behind. I feel very helpless....In the endm, They can kiss my @ss b/c I owe them $240k plus another $40k in equity line....I will walk away and not pay anything..If it's my condo they want, just remember, when I get through with it if there is a foreclosure, it will look like Cindy Lu Hoo's house in the Grinch Who Stole Christimas....GOOD LUCK INDYMAC!

I never recieved any real help or support from the loss mitigation group, was on hold for 30 minutes at a time and was basically told to give up.

Wow. Egregious. Liars. For the truth about my situation, please visit: http://www.pursuethetruth.com/business/exposed Jesus Christ is the only way to heaven. Study the King James Holy Bible. Even though IMB is trying to ruin me and my family, it's in God's hands. He will plead my cause.

they will ask you for a phone check and they will take out more then authorized. and lie and say you gave then the right to do so and that you never canceled.

Will ask you for check over phone only to rip you off on all your money. Will take out more then what you have authorized.

last year I lost my home thanks to the poor bookkeeping of indymac bank. foreclosure was initiated because they stated i had not sent in the last five payments. even when i sent them the cancelled checks, they refused to respond. my attorney was unable to get a payment history. five of the last payments were put into escrow and no one told us where the monthly payments went until the sale of my property. they are bad bussines and did not offer in any way to help me in my situation.

I've been slowly liquidating some of my savings and other small assets I have to try to keep up with payments. Never been late even though I've sacrificed other things to comply with my obligation. I called them yesterday to see if there was anything that could be done. I don't want to wait until i'm late and them start calling to come up with a payment option, damage my credit rating etc etc . After being transferred 6 or 7 times from a loan consultant to loan resolution(which is collections for them) some lady finally said "look there's nothing you can do, weather the storm or lose your house. Is there anything else I can help you with?" Unbelievable. Unfortunately now matter how rude she was, she's right. I need to come up with a ridiculous amt of money up front to even consider a refi.Damned if you do Damned if you don't. They don't care and make people's decision to lose their house almost a no-brainer. With the exception of a few cases it;s more lucrative to live the house save your money(hopefully), wait till you have to leave and just rent out with the abundance of houses available now it shouldn't be very hard to find something. Very frustrating. The middle finger goes out to my mortgage broker, The Mortgage store who subsequently sold my loan to Indywac. As for myself live and learn and "weather the storm" the best I can.

IndyMac is the reason why we did not continue with the purchase of our first home. Rep. worked from his home and did not even own a FAX machine! He had our loan information for over a month and lead us to extending our closing date three times for a total of 35 days! He was very, very unprofessional with the whole transaction and talked bad about his assistant in front of us. VERY, VERY UNPROFESSIONAL!! When we finally received the paperwork from him, the doc.'s were unreadable. The words seemed to have printed over the other words within the documents. His only explanation to this was that he should have read them after printing them. YOU THINK??? When the paperwork was actually readable, the fee's and amounts were completely different than what we had discussed 3 months prior when we started this whole ordeal. Two weeks later, they were still not right. We dropped the whole thing. I will never do business with IndyMac. They employ incompentent staff and still charge you an arm and a leg for their lack of professionalism and know-how. I am very disappointed...




by Marge Bonsanto From Bordentown, NJ on April 09, 2008
They have always been very helpful. The problem is, the investors are not being very flexible and with the servicers current workload due to the rising foreclosures, it's impossible to get anything done.

They are hard to talk to. You get a different person and they just read the computer file on you, but ask the same questions over and over that have been answered in previous conversations. What bothers me is they turned down a cash short sale before Xmas and I still have the buyer interested. They aren't interested in hardship cases and this attitude may drive me into bankruptcy. I've always had fixed rate mortgages, and my credit rating has hovered at 800. Being talked into this adjustable rate mortgage was a grave mistake.

They do not seem to care that my payment is so high and leaves me nothing to live on in fact when I called one of their people just yelled at me and would not even talk to me then they put me through to someone else and someone else and no one gives a darn.

I never hear from Indy Mac except when the payment is due and as long as I keep it up they are not complaining but then I guess they won't as long as they get their money.

I have had this company for over 2-yrs...When I paid extra principle and double payments, we had No Problems...The minute I got laid-off and couldn't make my payments; they were horrible and unprofessional. I got so much misinformation on Sale Dates and modification options, down payments; it was a Huge Joke and inconvenience, especially when I faxed information 7-wks ago as they requested and barely received some help with a modification, and did I neglect to mention that my home is scheduled to be sold in 2-wks at auction. Not to mention the payment is an astronomical amount and doesn't address my Adjustable Rate which will adjust in May 08. Everyone can have an opinion on why did I or many of us get ourselves into this situation...Well if shady Mortgage Brokers didn't sell me on the fact that I could refinance before my rate would adjust, as my Rip off Broker put it "We are in such a great market-refinance in a year and you will have equity and get a better rate". I trusted the loan professionals, but what a mistake that was...What did I know...Back to the business of how Indy Mac is a Horrible company to deal with and with the rise of customers who are facing rate adjustments in the next year, I hope we get some help to freeze the rates and or cram down the balance to the "Real" Market Value-20% below what I and many others paid for the homes in an overly INFLATED Market. May we all be blessed with divine intervention "Through the Grace of God"!

I have had this company for 3 years now and no problems at all. They were great when we applied and it was fast. No complaints at all from us.

I am in a dire situation as most of these people. However, there is one thing I can say.. that is you truly trust the living God.. and his son who he sent to die for your sins.. Jesus You can cry out to him and he said he will hear you and deliver you from your trouble. Trust him, instead of complaining.. praise him and thank him for whatyou do have. I know, it works for me all the time. Thats why he is the very best Daddy!! much Love and Go out and do something nice for someone else today!! Get your mind off of you! Give love away!! AC

the mortgage banker needs to be fined by the government for approving loans when they knew that their buyers could not afford. I am one of them.I will do everything in my power to destroy them the way they did to so many hardworking people who now faced foreclosures.




by montgomery in indiana From Ragsdale, IN on August 17, 2007
Indymac kept raising our payment - when I went to contact them they would not talk with me because the loan did not list my name (although the foreclosure papers have my name). We are just days from the sheriff's sale and I can't find any help. I am lost.




by Anonymous From Bryan, TX on August 10, 2007
Affordable at first, then rates raised, they paid my property tax without my consent, and now rates doubled. Over 60 hours on hold to try to get paperwork to sell house going. After four weeks of attempting to contact, buyer backed out and moved on. This happened twice. But after finally getting the paperwork needed for short sale, they rejected the last offer we had before foreclosure.




by inspector From Fort Lauderdale, FL on August 07, 2007
Indymac has continuously added charges and upped my payments. They are definitely in the gotcha business. They kick you when you are down and they kick you hard!

I miss one payment on my first and four on my second because we thought the bank paid it and they didn't tell us until it was already three months behind and it only been a year and they what us to pay $6770.00 back on the first and they want $3890.00 for the second and we don't have it...




by Reginald Ward From Emeryville, CA on July 17, 2007
Our payments were affordable when we first refinanced with them one of them 1800.00 per month the second five hundred.Then they started increasing one 2,600.00 the second five and it started getting hard. Before we new it the IRS hit me for back taxes,my eight year old was seriously ill from chronic asthma because mold was developing from shabby work they did to sell us the house in the first place.Medical bills building up.Wages garnished.We kept trying to work with them they wanted 10,000 down to start the payment plan.IRS was not quick to refund our money.Called them as soon as we got it now 14,000,called them back when we fot that they said that they had said 16,000 but now they want 20,000.We have 13,000 a high mortgage a falling a part house,and a child on a machine so she can breath when she has an attack.Medication daily to control it.We foreclosed July 26th but we'll be OK because we still have 14,000 in our pockets that the mortgage company will not accept




by Elizabeth Hensley From Benham, KY on July 10, 2007
I have not had Indy Mac for very long but I have gotten in over my head with unfordable payments and now foreclosure. They have set up a repayment plan for me but I cannot come up with the 3,000.00 down payment required to start the agreement. And the payments thereafter are also huge. I do not know what to do and I have no time left to fix this problem before the impending sale. I am just living on a prayer and hope that God will somehow come to my rescue.
