starno starno starno starno star by fed up From Highland, MI on September 24, 2008

Fed up is a under statement. I believe that this company is just stealing hard working people out of their home. I have ask for the past 2 years if they could lower my payment so I am not starving. They refuse. Tried a Loan Modification,. They wanted $500, faxes of profit and loss statement two weeks of payroll stub, and bank statement. Was told by a guy that I should have my husband do the faxing since I was a female and don't know anything. Surprisingly we got denied for a Loan Modification, I never faxed out my bank statement. Even tho I told them I do not feel right faxing that out. With all of the ID thief that is out there. NO Matter What Get out of this loan with these people.

"We are not behind on our mortgage and never have been. Although we dont always pay it on the first, I pay online through .www.oomc.com its always paid before the 15th which is the cut off for late fees. We never have had to pay any late fees because we always pay before the 15th. Whith that being said I HATE THIS MORTGAGE COMPANY, it never fails they always start calling and harrassing me on the 2nd day. They call every day, sometimes twice a day until they see the payment has been made online. They always ask when are you going to make the payment. I tell them its non of there business. They say well we can stop these calls if you will tell us what day you will be making the payment. I always tell them it will be between now and the 15th. I have repeatidly demaned they stop calling me. One time they told me that not paying on the 1st can hurt my credit. I said you cant put anything on my credit unless its over 30days and if you do I can sue you. I said so how will this hurt my credit, he said it would hurt my credit with them (oomc) I laughed and said do you really think I would ever refinance or use OOMC again. Now I just ask them when they call :is this option one" when they say yes I just hang up. They are worthless and cant wait to refinance in a month. I wish I could get a hold of there numbers at home and call them everyday and night." I READ THIS AND COULDN'T HAVE PUT IT ANY BETTER. THIS IS MY EXACT SAME EXPERIENCE WITH THIS COMPANY!!!!!!!!

Option One Mortgage is an unscrupulous predatory lender that preys on vulnerable consumers who are simply trying to realize the american dream of homeownership. Once they lure these consumers in and the inevitable hardships begin, they do nothing to assist in remedying the situation. Their only option is to foreclose. Which is probably how they arrived at their name.

They signed me witha fixed rate loan then have "adjusted " my rate to a unafordable one so high in the last 5 years that I have basically nothing going towards the actual loan . My 50,000 mortgage has not budged in the last 5 years!!! I still owe 50,000. They have refused to work with me on it. They have also taken a 10,000 check from my insurance company and refused to release any part of it to fix the roof on my house from storm damage. Never mind that I can do it myself and that over half of that money is for things already done and for other repairs like the fence, a storm door and a tree I REMOVED myself!!! No funds will be released unless I have a contractor fix the roof they say...fine but how about the money that Ive already put out for my time in removing the tree and how about releasing the fuinds so I can replace the storm door ??? Its going into a YEAR in AUGUT and these crooks have the nerve to actually refuse to let me sell my house to someone my realtor had with papers signed and credit in place, not once but twice! Then called the realtor and demanded that he ask for 85,000 for the house when the loan is only for 50,000. When the realtor laughed at them , OOM then called the realtor's boss and tried to say that he acted unprofessionally and had used foul language with them, among other acusations. Luckily the boss of the realtor had worked with this man for years and knew him to not act in such a way , telling OOM to try a different scam on someone else, he was not falling for it. I want to be included in a class action lawsuit against these crooks.

If you want REAL action, report your complaints to www.RipoffReport.com. They can respond in their defense, but the whole country gets to see all the dissatisfied people, and the posts NEVER expire: they're on there forever! I suspect they may be an new incarnation of another bizarre mortgage company that failed to pay our real estate taxes on time and sent us a phoney IRS Form 1098 to boot! (Guess who's getting reported to the IRS Fraud Unit in California!) Good luck to all of you.

starno starno starno starno star by melis From Westville, IL on June 19, 2008

OPTION ONE? How about OPTION DUMB! This company has such wrong practices! We fell behind on our mortgage due to a auto accident leaving us a 1 family income. We automatically went into their so called forclosure dept. AAfter paying almost 2,000.00 a month, yeah that's right, we went form a 600.00 payment to a 2000.00 payment and then all the fees, they charged us fees on our fees. We were so fortunate to have a banker look over our MESS and they refinanced us. They called this so called company 3 times in 7 minutes and got 3 different payoff amounts not to mention our new loaner was told there was a fee of 150.00 to figure the payoff amount. My nephew also got tied up with these people. Having the same problem. He got an attorney and he has overpaid them. Now they say he owes even more because they have to refigure his loan and make adjustments. I will never recommend this company to anyone, this is not the type of company that helps people. H & R Block bought them and sold them right away. A friend who works with them said they found out about the practices they do and was loosing tax customers nationwide because they had people loosing their homes. I don't think this company should be allowed to do the practices they do. Banks dont even charge fees on top of fees. That is crazy. Option One is not your only option, stay away from them, they will force you to loose your home, stress out your marriage and put your working husbund in his grave before his time.

I have been dealing with oom for two 1/2 years. I totally understand everyone's plain. I'm glad to here from all of you because I truly thought I was the only one dealing with them. I hate the fact that my husband and I work full time for what. Them to take our house. I haven't received a bill from them for over a year, nothing on knowing what I was to pay so I would just pay what I thought was my payment then every once in a while I would get a certified letter stating that I owed a couple thousand. I just received a letter from a attorney ( that number is no longer in service)that my house was going into forclouser. I set up a repayment plain with oom that only the rich of rich can afford and every time I call there its a different amount that I owe. Of course because they have jacked my husband and i around for so long know no mortgage company will touch us to refinace us because our credit is shot. I'm filing a complaint and I'm willing to do what ever it takes to get rid of this company so all of us can get a normal mortgage and be able to sleep at night.

You ask for help. They reply we are not a loan company we can not help you. We received a letter that they sold our mortgage/ In the same mail we received the payment back that was sent in because I could not pay the past due amount. Letter dated 6-6-08, stating that we owed 5544.00. When I called a lady who could not speak english and talked to fast she told me that we owed $11000.00 because our account had already been turned over for forclosure. We received the letter dated 6-6-08 today 6-16-08. Her response was that the house went into forclosure on the 11th of June. They took there time mailing out the letter so that it would be to late and then we would go under forclosre. They are not willing to help. We do not want to lose our home.

So Funny!!! I cannot believe this. I feel everyones pain. I thought it was just my family that was dealing with these problems. I would literally get sick to my stomach if i need to call the idiots in customer service cause i didnt want to speak with the nonenglish speaking idiots. I would always tell them i pressed 1 for english. we have been through it all. Returned paymest raising rates, lawyers fees etc ect. I felt like my friends, family and coworkers thought i was a liar when i try to descibe what this company has done to us. I have sent complaints to the attorney generals office here in MIssouri and in Claifornia no repsonse yet. My latest problem is the escrow i have paid the insurance and they keep charging me for theirs. I do not want there insurance company. I had my insurance companny call them and he was dumb founded with this company and there representatives. I received another letter from Option One on the mail yesterday, delayed in opening it cause didnt want to ruin my weekend. Just opened and cannot believe this my loan has been sold to American Home Mortgage Servicing out of Irving, Tx, Has anyone heard of this Company?????

We didn't know what we were getting ourselves into, if you know what I mean... lies, foreign speaking people, harrasing phone calls, won't accept partial payments etc... They said that we were 3 months behind on our mortgage and they were going to foreclose on our home, $23,000 payment to stop foreclosur3/8k-9k for deposit to reinstate my mortgage, $11,100.32 for payment/interest/late fee etc, $10,000.00 for Atty Fees, $1,850.00 for misc admin fees and denied me a loan modification because we don't qualify. What the F... is that! Right now we're trying to save our house with what we have!

My wife and I had purchased our home in Washington state, and we have been stuck with Option One for th epast two years. We normally have gone through Coutrywide and have been happy with then, but this was something new... After twenty four months of lies, mis-communication, harrasing phone calls, and headaches on a loan that we were NEVER late one day on, we are now finding ourselves out from under this horrid organization and back in with Countrywide... At a 2.4% reduction in our rate as well. :) STAY AWAY from these people, no matter what !

This is the worst nightmare company I have ever dealt with. If you are unfortunate enough to get behind on your payments, they won't work with you and no matter what you spend on lawyers they will end up taking your home. The Federal government should make them work with people, instead of taking all their money and your home as well. This is like an undercover terrorist attack on America as far as I can see. You can never get people who speak English, and they say one thing and do another. This whole mortgage crisis could be avoided if they would re-write loans at affordable payments. I am pay 11%, and they have been raising my mortgage every 6 months, instead of every 2 years, which is what I signed up for. Even at closing, they made me pay one payment up front which I never got credit for. And if my rate is adjustable, then why hasn't it gone down? This is the worst experience of my life. If you are thinking of doing business with this company, the best advice I can give you is RUN. Find a different mortgage company or you may end up in my situation. The whole thing is making me suicidal. If anyone is starting a class action lawsuit, please contact me.

They have for some reason tried very hard to make it impossible to keep my home. I truly believe they prey on people and their vulnerabilities. I tried every option I could find to work with Option One before the only way to stop my home from being auctioned was to filed bankruptcy and it still has been a nightmare ever since. I honestly feel like it made them mad that they were not able to auction my home.

This company is by far the worst company I have ever delt with. The Indians are stealing our American jobs! We all pay high interest rate for OOMC to pay them $1.00 or $2.00 per hour, that's sad! I alone could support about 15 of them a month. I think OOMC should hire HONEST Americans to begin. What happen to the feds helping in the major mortgage crisis I didn't receive any help! did anyone? I see that the feds are helping the strapped mortgage companies but not the little people like us. OOMC should be put out of business. To our politicians WAKE THE HELL UP! you have a major problem at home stop fighting dumb wars and start fighting the mortgage war against the American People. Bring OOMC to justice! There should be a Reward for anyone who files a class action suit against them.

not willing to work with customer, I dont think they should even be in buisness, they advertise that they will work with you, but that is false advertisement on their part.I was willing to make payments to bring loan current but they will not accept it, That is not good buisness, wanted a outrageous amount to bring loan current or, double my mortgage for 12 months before it would report current.

I was not told about going in to foreclosure. I had made a payment and it didnt post to the account on the web site so i call to find out why. They said i went into forecloure on the 15th of may 2008 but i made the payment on 15th of may 2008, so they foreclosure shouldnt have started yet. so Option One said they wasnt supposed to take a payment but it was before the foreclosure started but nobody check to see if a payment was made so they say they will get back with me and that was on the 16th of may 2008 and today is the 19th of may 2008. The payment still havent poet yet but it was paid through my bank through bill pay and option one did accept it, so i will give them one more day to post to my account then i will call option one to find out whats going on.

I was in touch with a Tim Robinson who told me to wait to hear back from him. He said for my bankruptcy attorney to fax the release directly to his desktop because it would be handeled faster. I waited, and weeks later was told he was no longerr with OOMC. hen I was told, reguardless of the stipulation payments, to justpay the mortgage and I would not lose my home. Now OOMC's attorney has filed for relief from the bankruptcy court BECAUSE of the stipulation payments! I was also sent a letter asking me to send a letter to them if my ARM payments going up would cause a hardship. I sent the letter and was told later, by the same man who laughed and told me just to "make the regular payments", that what I sent was called a hope letter and not to worry, "It will all be worked out in the modification". HELP!!!

Option One is not reporting me current on my mortgage even though I am (I do owe for May) because of that, my credit scores are worse and I can not refinance. They are still showing me past due over $7600 and I am current. They just give me the run around and lie.

Opt. One gave me a 2nd refi in 6 months with no W2 a biz card and a contract I did for a job that I was payed cash for. Since I have been unemployed and Opt One wants 62K to bring loan current and pay 6K for the next 6 months. We talked to someone last week and now our only option is to pay the mortgage in full or we are out of our house in a few months. I am not blaming them for my financial situation, but they could be a little more willing to listen and offer some "OPTIONS"

starno starno starno starno star by Anonymous From Novi, MI on April 28, 2008

I have filed Ch 13 twice in the last year trying to save my home but my interest rate of 10.2% made the house payment too high and both cases were dismissed. 1st time the only "options" I got were to come up with $20k or $40K. I couldn't do that so I filed for bankruptcy again. When that was dismissed I miraculously got a letter from Option One through HopeNow stating that I was being conisered for a loan modification and that if I contacted them w/in 1 days and indicated I wanted to participate in the program and provided them with documents they would suspend the foreclosure process while the loan modification was being reviewed. I was diligent in contacting them. After the file was sent to the loan negotiator I left a message. Called back when I didn't get a response. They said they didn't receive my hardship letter but somehow got all the other docs that were faxed with it. So I faxed it to the missiing documents department AND to the loan negotiator along with the letter they sent me. The loan negotiator was pretty quick to call me back only to tell me that my investor does not do loan modifications. I asked why I got the letter and was told that my investor might have done them when the letter was sent (3/28/08) but not now (this was 4/22/08). Negotiator told me he'd refer me to a negotiator that works with HopeNow. She called me back later the same afternoon and stated the same thing about my investor. I again asked why I got the letter and she stated that they send them to everyone with Option ARMs and don't screen for the investor code although she thought they should. She suggested I contact my state legislator. This is a week before my Sheriff's Sale which is scheduled for tomrrow. The next day I met with a loan counselor who said that she had had success in dealing with Option One's investors but had not been able to contact anyone at Option One in the past two weeks even though they had a direct private line to them. I complained to the Office of Financial and Insurance Regulation in my state, contacted my state senator and rep and have gotten nowhere. I am trying to contact attorney's for a class action lawsuit, altho I have heard that Option One is in bankruptcy themselves. You'd think the Judge would force them to negotiate, wouldn't you?

I agree with everyone here-you cannot get an english speaking person for one thing and we were being foreclosed on due to escrow for insurance that we were behind on & once we thought we caught up we were told we were going to have to pay an extra $160.00 for escrow and I asked them why when we just got done paying twice our payment for six months to pay all that we owed and they couldn't tell me why so my husband contacted them & he was told they can charge us however much interest they want to on our h/o insurance? what is that? If we pay what they want us to pay that will be over $3,000 in interest for h/o insurance that won't cover any personal property that is damaged? This company is terrible and has caused us a lot of headache & stress.

Have been told by our State Representative that they are the most difficult to deal with. They enrolled us in their forbearance program, then did not apply the payments, which made it appear that we were even further behind. In this time of national mortgage crisis you would think that there would be more concern to help and appear to be sympathetic to the borrower, but that does not seem to be the case.
