starno starno starno starno star by Anonymous From Saint Peters, MO on November 04, 2009

May 2008 was the worst month in my whole life. Wilshire took our home from us! My husband took a job in a different state. We were trying to sell it and nothing was happening. We finally had a purchaser and were in the middle of a short sale which Wilshire said they would work with us, knowing we lived in another state I believe this is one of the reasons they took our home.. But as the short sale was in the process we received a phone call from a dear friend telling us that our address was in the newspaper stating that our home was going to be sold on the court house steps on May 29th. We were taken back and didn't know what to think. We were never aware of this, didn't get served paper work, just weren't told period. We had a friend staying in our home he never received anything stating to get out of the home. I believe they thought the home was empty and they could take it. I just don't know how that could happen I'm still in disbelief. We were paying as much as we could our interest rate sky rocketed and our payment couldn't be made in full. We tried as hard as we could! But taking a home without any warning? How could this happen? I don't know what to do. It happened so fast we couldn't do anything.. they wanted the full amount from us. So what I think about this organization? There isn't any kind word I have, we got treated like trash, put to the curb. I don't recommend them I let everyone know what can happen to you these days. That was our 1st home and I'm sure that for many many years we will not be able to own another home. Good luck to anyone who has to deal with Wilshire Credit Corporation.

starno starno starno starno star by GENE From Wendell, NC on October 25, 2009

Never in my seventy years have I experienced anything like what I have with Wilshire. Since June 08, when I lost my job I started calling Wilshire to see if they could work out a lower payment plan for me for about six months. So far I have talked with 20 people. I have all my notes as well as voice recordings to prove I was getting the run-a-round. I don't understand how these people can stay in business. The fraud division of the FBI needs to close them down. If records were known I would be willing to bet they don't help 1 out of 100 people. The number one answer I get when calling is "You should be getting a letter in about 2-4 weeks explaining how we can help you. The letter never comes. I have been told twice I have been approved and given a new payment amount. Then I get a letter in the mail telling me I was denied. First off they told me I earned two much money to qualify. They never took in account my earnings had all but stopped. They looked at my earnings for 12 months prior. Next they told me I did not have enough income to qualify. How much do I have to have I asked. We can't tell you that. I have not raised my monthly income to $4,335,00 net per month. My original payment was $2,300.00. No cars, no trucks, $800.00 in credit cards and they still say I don't have enough income. Don't wait. Call a good attorney. Don't talk to one that wants money before service. You may have another Wilshire on the line. Check out their web site. You would think they are Heaven sent.

I am giving up on my house, I lost my husband to cancer two years ago and told wilshire that I needed a loan modification I have sent in 2 complete packets and have gotten no response. papers from Orlans/Moran were just received so it looks like I'll lose my home. tonight I'll tell my boys that we will no longer have a home. They already lost their father. The hope hot line was no help, the HUD people were no help. My interest rate is 10.5%. Shame on our Government for letting this go on! I didn't want a free ride I just wanted a fair payment. my faith is broken and so is my heart.

I have been having problems with Wilshire since my loan was transferred to them in 2007. I told them about my hardship, they asked me to send my paper work in. I did so, it took 4 months to get a response, I thought I was going to be ok since they allowed me to do a six month Forbearance Agreement, but when I tried to make a payment, they said they couldn't accept the payment because I was in bankruptcy, and that once I got out of bankruptcy, they would work with me. Bankruptcy was dismissed, now they are saying my only two options are to give them $15,000 or do a short sale, I told them I didn't have $15,000, if I did, I wouldn't be asking for a loan modification. They put my house up for foreclosure, it was postponed. I am now working with a company called NACA to see if they can help. If they can't, I will have to file a Chapter 7 and let my house go. Its been 2 years, and I'm tired of fighting with Wilshire, they are LIARS.

starno starno starno starno star by JudyS From Medina, OH on September 16, 2009

I also have been under a forebearance agreement and same issues as Robert. They keep extending it, now 6 mos. and they are giving me the same stuff about govt. program. I do not want this to keep showing up on myu credit report as late. I have been paying them almost as my payment was before it adjusted. I just want a loan modification. My original mtg. wa more than my house was worth, now with their addition of about 30,000 in fees, I am truly under water. I want to keep my house, but I feel the same, if I have to walk away, I will. I can start over. I do have an attorney, but he does not seem to be doing much. I have a chronic disease and cannot work anymore. Hubby makes decent money, so I do not qualify for any of govt. programs. I am tired of filling out same forms, and sending them my money with nothing being done by them or my attorney. I feel like I am throwing good money after bad. I like the idea of giving us our houses free and clear. And, by the way, Wilshire got a huge chunk of govt. bailout money.

starno starno starno starno star by Sharon Jepson From Angleton, TX on September 14, 2009

Wilshire Credit has constantly lied to us, tried to get us to sign something saying we would not file against them in order to get a remodification. Then they remodified but only for three years and added $5,000 of unpaid interest (for 6 months), to the modification amount. Turned us into the credit bureau as late when we have never been since the remodification. Shows they foreclosed on our home of which they did not. They promised me (MR. Tom Watson) that they would fix the credit bureau report to reflect corrections because all this was their doing and not ours. Wilshire has done nothing. Now I find out that they turned us in late for October of last year when we were in a disaster zone and slammed by the hurricane in September and had no electricity, or water or food for almost a month. Wilshire then screwed us up because when they remodified they did not add the taxes in for the year and since the remodification was done in July of 07 they did not take the taxes into account when doing the remodification and that left us paying and extra $220 per month on top of our house payment. No person should go through what Wilshire Credit has put us through. Our house payment is due on the first of the month. This month we were out of state on an emergency and did not get back until the 7th. Someone from Wilshire called us on Labor Day wanting to know where the payment was. IT IS LATE 14 DAYS AFTER THE DUE DATE of the 1st. Wilshire Credit is incompotent mortgage servicers! I have soooooo much more to tell you about Wilshire. All is validated and in writing. Wilshire Credit has knowingly destroyed many people's lives and they do not care.

Wilshire is such a crooked organization, they should be shutdown by the authorities and all the houses should be given (free and clear) to the individuals named on title. This would set a very helpful precedent in stopping future comsumer abuse.

starno starno starno starno star by Mulligan From Fredericksburg, VA on September 02, 2009

Our mortgage was transferred to Wilshire about 6 months after we bought our townhouse. Everything was alright until we had an unplanned child and my husband had to quit his job to stay home with her since he made less than daycare costs. We applied for hardship assistance 9 months ago. No one got back to us so I started calling them every 2 weeks. I kept getting told everything was in order and I would be offered a payment plan shortly. Then I get an undocumented charge of $130 on my account which I was told was for an appraisal when I called. I was upset I wasn't told there would be any fees, but I paid it because we really needed the modification. Two phone calls later I was told our request was denied because I didn't provide my husband's paystubs. I told them I had told several people on the phone that he was unemployed taking care of the baby, they said, oops, we'll have to start the whole process over again. So, I resubmitted the paperwork, starting calling to check on the status weekly. Every time I called I asked if there would be any more fees (no), if they had it noted my husband was unemployed (yes), and what the status of the request was (still working on it). Then one day I call and they try to get me to cancel the request and start over applying for the government program. Well, I check out the government program, which they say can offer more than their program, and we would qualify for the gov program but only be able to reduce our payments by $20/month. So I give up, obviously Wilshire never inteded to help us if the gov program couldn't even do much. I try to forget about the months of wasted time and money, then I go to make my mortgage payment this month and find another undocumented charge for $130. I called today and just lost it on them. They say they'll see if they can waive the fee if I drop the request for assistance. They aren't mortgage collectors, they're extortionists.

starno starno starno starno star by Mike F From West Des Moines, IA on August 31, 2009

I'm fighting with Wilshire right now after they put me into a forbearance agreement all along telling me it was a modification. They continually referred to the agreement as a modification and told me that when it was up (only 6 mos long) they would negotiate an updated mofidication. They told me it was short term because they expected the government to legislate some sort of plan. When I went into the agreement with them I was only 2.5 months behind. After the agreement I was told by them only after I received a foreclosure letter and called them ( waiting 46 min on hold) that I was now 6 months behind because the clock kept ticking on my regular payments during the forbearance agreement. I only find something out when I call. I HAVE NOT RECEIVED ONE SINGLE PIECE OF CORRESPONDENCE OTHER THEN THE FORBEARANCE AGREEMENT IN OVER 1 YEAR. I don't even know what my full payment should be now. I had to ask what my interest rate was. I am working with the state to do what I can. These people are incredible. While I don't want to lose my house I'm not afraid to walk away from it and make it their problem since they created most of this problem. The state programs are not much help because they are all created for people with no jobs or little income. I have a good job but am being wronged and will not break my retirement accounts to pay their ridiculous fees to "catch up".

House in foreclosure due to divorce. Got an offer. 2 months later, Wilshire still won't answer any calls and now the offer has been withdrawn. They won't foreclose due to all the lovely "assistance" measures put in place by the gov't and won't let me sell. Now I have to file bankruptcy just to get rid of the house! These people are useless.

I've been dealing with Wilshire for 3 months to get a loan modification. Even after I obtained written notice that all information had been received and it would take 15 days for a decision. After repeated call I was told to submit additional bank and pay stub information etc etc. After 3 months they said I would need to file a "forbearance Agreement", whatever that is. I have written a formal complaint to the FTC.

starno starno starno starno star by p.w. From Albany, NY on August 13, 2009

I bought a house in 2005 and the mortgage was taken over by Wilshire Corp. Everything seemed to be ok until I received a letter in June stating that I was delinquent in my 2005 school tax and they had to pay it. I immediately contacted them and asked why they did not call me or send an email to inform me that they had a concern with the 2005 taxes. the lady I spoke with stated that a Amy from the Albany tax department called and told them the house was in foreclosure. This was a big surprise to me because to my knowledge all my taxes was paid in full for all years. I had never received any notices from the tax department. So I immediately called the tax department and asked to speak to Amy, I was then told they don't have anyone by that name. I then asked if someone had called wilshire due to past taxes.I was then told no,. I found this to be strange that no one had called or was there by the name of Amy. I then called Wilshire back and asked for an address to send the money to cover the tax payment. i was given a fax number and told I had to fax that request in, which I did. Two weeks later I still did not receive a response by then it was the middle of June. I then mailed og my August payment and included the money paid for the taxes. Included was a letter explaining what to do with the extra money. At the start of july I got and a letter stating that my new payment had more than doubled. This was due to an escrow account being established which was never part of the contract. I called and was told that they applied the extra money to my principal despite the fact that I had included instructions on what to do with it. in the. After the guy reversed the funds. I was told that the next payment was due in September still at the 2 and 1/2 times my normal payment. He said I had to talk to there tax department which was where I sent the fax requesting an address for the tax payment. I again sent in a fax and stated that this was a little crazy that I did not get contacted in the first place and instead ahd my payment jump up so much. It is now the middle of August. I have sent of my $1150 payment that used to be $500.00. I am still waiting to hear from them. Just a little FYI. this was my first house I bought from a bank. I not only had to pay for my own attorneys but also their's. Some how during the closing the tax settlement did not get done properly and 4yrs later I'm paying for it by having to deal with a corporate that seems to not be professional. The reps that i listed her was the nice one but the rest were nasty including a Ann McCormick who by the way told me that the City Listed my property for Foreclosure again when I spoke to the city they denied what Wilshire had said. I would like to mention that i had to pay a strange interest fee. This she said was due to interest for being late on my monthly payment. This was crazy because i have always been 1 to 2 months ahead with my payments. My payment is still going to be high and if you divide 3200 by 12 and add it to 500 my new payment should be no more that 767. Again this should be a escrow free account. Wilshire seems as if they don't want to work with you. They would rather jack up your payments and make more money from you. by holding that extra money you send them they can loan it out and make interest of of it. Inclosing i have been a good Customer to them, paid ahead of time and have been current on all taxes I was aware of. Know I'm not making excuses about the taxes owed for 2005 but you would think that they should have called or sent me a message instead of giving me this hard to pay payment This type of stuff will put people in bankruptcy. For those of you who are thinking I should have just paid my taxes. i would say how can you pay something you are not aware of especially when you were not informed by the city, which by the way was sending the bill to the old owners.

COURT ALERT!!! I was behind in my mortgage that had a balance of $17,000. Signed a Forbearance Agreement with Wilshire June 1998. Last payment rejected and all subsequent payments rejected and 3 more foreclosures filed against me, all stopped by my attorney. I filed a lawsuit against them (Deutsche Bank/Bankers Trust/Wilshire) in 2003 for breaking the Forbearance agreement and won in Superior Court Dec 06. I was awarded a meager $2,100.This Monday, July 27, 2009 I will do battle against them again in Superior Court of Delaware, Wilmington, DE as they have filed yet another foreclosure trying to get $188,923.11 in interest, late charges, legal fees, etc. or possession of my house. The case is #CA No 07L 179 JRJ the parties being Deutsche Bank/Bankers Trust v. Cheryl Wilson. If you are available, please show up in Court. If not possible, please email our major DE newspaper your story (News Journal) at dlemire@delawareonline.com so we can get the actions of these bloodsuckers out in the open and hopefully get some coverage of my Court case as well as all of your cases. My demise or success should be shouted from the rooftops, not just relegated to web pages like like this one. The average citizen never sees any of these.

starno starno starno starno star by Anonymous From Marietta, GA on May 28, 2009

Wilshire takes advantage of homeowners & are the worst servicing company in history. For those who think it's as simple as keeping your home if you can afford it, do you ever even consider people that through no fault of their own have lost their jobs & only need help to keep a home for their family to live in until they get back on their feet? It's cruel and stupid to state that if they can't afford it to just move. Move where?!? Wilshire has more bogus charges than any company I've ever seen so they can eat up your equity, put your payments into suspense if you don't pay a late charge instead of applying it to your principle and interest and adds addt'l interest on top of that. It IS illegal. I don't have to pay the late fees until I sell my home if I can't afford them at the time. Example: If I have a late charge & the following month CAN and do pay my full regular payment, but not the late charge, they put my payment into "suspense" unapplied so it adds more interest, then the next month when I make my regular full payment again (not the late charge), they take a part of that to clear the late charge from the month before and now don't apply the current month's payment and it goes on and on so you will ALWAYS have addt'l interest added AND show as always being past due 30 days on your credit report even if you've only made ONE late payment and all the others on time! That is illegal! This also makes it impossible to refinance since your credit is now torn up. That's only one example. We need a class action lawsuit in Georgia & it's not because of the inability to pay the mortgage. They are unethical and those who uphold it on the basis that the consumer signed their documents and then got bait switched, will go down with the rest of them when they get judged. I'm really disappointed in those who are so cold hearted on this forum who say just pay your bills. These are the same people who have never been through anything, lost a job, or had a loan servicer screw them over, but keep watching & I guarantee someday you'll be in a fix through no fault of your own and then will feel it's unfair when you have no compassion for those families who go to work everyday, raise their kids, pay their bills and then lose a job and are only trying to keep their home for their family.

Our home loan we had from Accredited was taken over by Wilshire, so to make this short since wilshire took over they raised my payments, took away my escrow and then when I became laid off they would not even work with me. I tried to offer what I could towards payment , but the Wilshire Rep. laughed at me and told me I could not afford my home and I SHOULD lose it. This is a real shame, I want to cry for we have had this HOME for 24 years. I get constant threats of Foreclosure and no help. They are scavengers and every other type of low life.

Wilshire should go out of business from lawsuits. They take your money and put in it suspense. That is against the law when they do not apply it towards the principle and interest of the house. They should be charged with theft, misappropriation of funds, and predatory practices due to the amount of interest they charge for false reasons.

Well i gotta say there Medesto CA,,i gues you should run for office because you sound like a political person that belongs in the white house ,,easy to blame the people when you dont know there situation and because of your way of thinking is why its hard to get anything done,,,im sure these people have a formal complaint ,,,,i to have said this company does not wanna help they want your home i have told them that ,,,,you talk about managing money im sure they have but when the loss of a job takes a cut in what you make and you dont get rehired right away then what you have saved goes as well you wind up depleteing your savings then it gets to a point where you could use a little help,,i agree not all people manage thier money but alot of people do and still have problems ,,, and why is it no matter what your deal is that this company does not have to go by the programs that are set fourth to help they dont use ,,,they dont defer payments or anything,,,,,i have been ontime for many years and in the last 2 months i fell behind because iam self employed and things are slow ,,, they also raised my monthly payment by paying my taxes when they where not behind or late in anyway and tacked it on my loan,,also they started a escrow account when i said no and tacked it on the account witch added a good amount to the monthly payment ,,,this is being investigated ,,this company is clearly fraudulant company out to get these homes and when the market goes up again they will make a killing reselling the home,,,now for most of ya look into a short sale might help you out and not ruin your credit,,but overall this country has lost its balls to stand up to anything,,,so we will pay as always ,,now if you feel your in the right get a lawyer and sue them ,,i already told them they forclose this home they will be sued i have been trying to get hardship since last april and all they do is send more and more paper work,,SO WHERE IS THE GOVT. WHEN THIS COMPANY IS DOING THIS TO THE BLUE COLLAR FOLKS ,,,and as far as our crazy expenses in less your a mind reader how the hell do you know these people situations ,,i suggest i would kep my comments to my self if i was you,,,because its not smart to judge folks just because the media said so,,,,im glad if your not in anyharm of losing your home but for those who fought to live the american dream of being a home owner this company is taking it away and something needs to be done about it ,,SOONER THEN LATER ,,SO ALL I HAVE TO SAY IS IF WE ALL START A PETETION AGAINST THEM MAYBE THY WILL LISTEN THEN ,,,BUT INTILL THEN IF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE DONT GET SOME BALLS AND STAND UP AGAINST THIS TYPE OF THING ITS ONLY GOING TO GET WORSE ,,,,SO AS ASK YOUR SELF WHY IS THIS THE ONLY COMPANY THAT DOES NOT HAVE TO DO WHAT THE GOV.

Stop complaining! You guys need to look at your finances and understand that what you send in into a servicer/lender tells a story. They will go and review your income and your expenses. If your expenses are out of control, do you seriously think they will help you? You need to learn to budget your money better. Your mortgage payment is your priority foremost. There are people who have super high car payment and spend hundreds of dollars on entertainment! Why should they take the cut when you can even manage your finances right? Some people haven't made a mortgage payment in years! Well duh it is going to go to foreclosure! Once again, educate yourselves and maybe you would not be in this situation. You have to be set up on a payment plan before being modified! Do some research on the President's plan! Even under his plan you will have to make 3 consecutive monthly payments before getting modified. In any case, you will get denied if your expenses are out of control and you have equity in the home, and if your income is too low. Why will they not help you if you are unemployed and do not even get unemployment benefit? DUH!! Why would they help someone who can't afford the house payment? that is NOT a guarantee you can make the mortgage payments. Your house payments will go up for different reasons: If your income supports it, and you are behind, it will bring your account current, however your payment will increase.. why? Well think about all that unpaid interest you didn't pay when you didn't make a payment! Come on!! And it will go up also, if you didn't pay your taxes for a while. They pick up the bill for you and make sure your house doesn't go to tax sale! Because of this, an escrow account will be open and your taxes will be included in your mortgage. Seriously, after all this complaining you guys have not thought about the lenders huh? You want the help but you want it your way meaning to support your crazy expenses! Some people deserve the help and need the help. Think about it this way: when you lend someone some money (a large sum of money), don't you want it back????? HECK YEAH you do.. THERE YOU GO!!

When i went to the house the lock me out, this people change my lock and went inside my house without permission and without been foreclose.

Wilshire's customer service reps have been quite accommodating here lately. However, it appears to me that Wilshire is more directed toward putting their customers deeper in debt rather than helping customers bring their accounts current. Why, when the economy is in a crisis, would you increase someone's monthly payment, when obviously the original payment is a struggle? This is not an attempt to resolve anything...this is an attempt to get these homes for some form of profit at a later date.

starstarno starno starno star by Anonymous From Nashville, TN on March 25, 2009

Yes, I currently have a first mortgage with Wilshire and my experience with the company echoes so many of others' accounts given here. I have been given conflicting information about where to fax or send documents for a loan modification; transferred back into an automated voice system when told I'm being transferred to speak to someone in a specific dept.; been refused transfer to requested dept from clueless customer service reps who try to disqualify me verbally over the phone before I have a chance to send in the requested documents; encountered vague answers to very specific questions and then told 'but no, this is the correct information' and the list goes on and on. I am currently trying to do a loan wkout and am going to send in the requested/required documents - both by fax and certified mail - and proceed from there. I will also enlist the aid of a nonprofit agency to hopefully help me wade through this process so as to not get endless roundaround from the company.

This is not a very friendly company to it's customers. even when you submit all required paperwork.... WARNING... WARNING..!!! they will do a temp modication tell you to make X amount of payments for 6 months. at the end when you think they will give you a fixed payment they raise it to 13%. when you say you can't pay the foreclosure on you. I'm now renting and out 6 months payments of $1800 dollars. they informed me they never stopped the foreclosure as it was done by another department. they are the WORST... nothing but LIE'S

We thought that we were getting a good, quality company when our service changed to Wilshire, but that was not the case. In summer of 2007, we sold our house and paid off the mortgage and we thought everything was taken care of. But over a year later, we bought a car and they said that Wilshire was still reporting on our credit. I called the home office and was assured that everything would be taken care of. I felt relieved, until we tried to get pre-approved for a mortgage. They were still there. And today, 23 February, 2008, they are still on there and we have been out of the house for well over a year and a half. While they were servicing our mortgage, they made quite a few mistakes and never told us the grounds for some of their actions against us. I am sure they are a good company to work for, and I'm sure they help some people, but they sure haven't been good to us.

They tell you what paperwork to send in but then it gets "lost" so you have to do it all over again! Or they give you the wrong fax number so that you can't even get the things to them! All the reps are rude! I had one try to tell me exactly how to live my life so I can pay each month! Before I feel behind I'd sent in my home owner's insurance payment and three days later it was put back in my account, so I called Allstate and they told me that Wilshire told them that I had vacated the property! They need to be shut down ASAP! Anyone out there who has a lawsuit against them please contact me at dejanae76@hotmail.com!

We had a major hurricane devastate our area on Sept 1 2008, Gustav. I called Wilshire to inquire about their disaster relief that was in big bold letters on my statement. The person on the phone said that they could not modify my loan, but they could suspend my September payment if I thought I could add additional monies to the next few months. I asked repeatedly if this would adversely affect my credit and I was assured that due to the disaster my account would be flagged to all credit bureaus and no late charges would apply as well as the $5 fee to pay by phone. I agreed and we calculated a payment plan which included additional money that would over the next 3 months be held in a suspense account until I made my January 2009 payment. With my January payment and the suspense funds paid January 8, 2009, I was assured my account was now current and my next schedulaed payment was on February 1 at the normal amount. Now they are not only reporting me as 30 x 4 late, but I have tried in vane for a month to get them to send an explanation and clear this up. I have not given up, but they have NOT handled this properly at all. I upheld my end of the plan, they did not. I have NEVER been late in 3 years of having the loan. I am not in forclosure I had excellent credit until this.

I don't know about you guys but my experience with Wilshire on the loan mod I requested last year has been pleasant. It took a little while though but in the end I got more than what I originally wanted. I was able to reduce my monthly payment from 3800 to only 2100. They reduced my interest rate too, although it is only temporary but it greatly helped me through the difficult times I faced last year and up until now.

starstarstarstarstar by CURRENT EMPLOYEE From Corvallis, OR on January 22, 2009

I have worked for this company for many years. Merrill Lynch is the parent company who was just purchased by Bank of America. We make every effort to keep people in their homes, but the guiding factor will always be if they can afford to keep the home - not just now but long term. I'm part of the management staff that reviews loan modifications for approval, denial, or requests for additional info. We lose if a customer defaults so it is in our benefit to modify and keep you in your home. BUT sometimes the home is too much for you and that reality is something you have a hard time facing - we must look at that reality as part of our business success. More than 50% of the loans modified re-default. This means no matter what we do as a company the bottom line is a lack of income is in most cases insurmountable. Everybody needs help and they need help now! We can't keep up, nor can we hire more employees due to the economic challenges. This goes to show you that the way our parents bought homes was best - 20% down and no funny mortgage terms. This is the price we pay to own the American Dream. Too many folks bought homes without anything down so when the market took a turn and property values dropped they owed more than they owned. This is why 20% down is so beneficial to counter foreclosure. Remember the way you submit paperwork for modifications, short sales, deed in lieu etc is the KEY to getting what you want! newlywed11704@comcast.net

starstarstarstarno star by Anonymous From Portland, OR on January 18, 2009

Wilshire is a servicing company, not a lender. They service loans according to the terms of the loan documents (Note, Rider, Deed...)YOU signed and by state/federal laws such as RESPA, FCRA, Regulation Z, FDCPA, etc. Borrowers also have the responsibility of being familiar with these laws. It could save a lot of headaches and frustrations. I agreee that Wilshire's customer service reps lack the 'know-how' but they really do want to help. If you are having difficulty paying your mortgage due to rate increases on your ARM loan, request a "loan workout" or "modification" packet. Again, there are laws governing this also; only certain borrowers qualify. If you have a seasoned ARM loan, have your loan audited to ensure your rate/payment figures are accurate. If you simply cannot afford to keep the home, try selling or request a "short sale" if your loan is more than what the property is worth. Servicing companies are not out to take homes away from people. It is more profitable for the investor (the lender) if the borrower makes their payments. Times are tough for just about everyone. The sooner you contact your servicing company about the hardship you are facing the better. Hope someone finds this advice helpful.

My story is mostly the same as everyone's, but mine has a twist to it. Over a year ago my insurance lapsed for two months and Wishire put their own insurance on my property. My insurance company state farm forgot to add my insurance or did not acknowledge my payments and Wilshire put their insurance on for about 4,500 dollars. I called and certified letters to them that I had insurance. it wasn't until Aug of this year that they finally said that they credited the account but I can't find anything that say they did it. They forced forclosure on my account because I was unable to pay and was late on payments. I was told that they would take it to a Mellissa CURRY who they say has the power to modify, but I have not heard or received anything from her or any other person from Wilshire. I would like to know the person who at Wilshire who has authority to make any decisions. anyone can e-mail me if their is a authority at wilshire who will listen. tsidelivery1@comcast.com

TURE STORY I am a Wilshire customer and I must say that my relationship with Wilshire started out bad but in the end they were good to me. My experience has been in parts like some of your stories or maybe even worse at times. Just like lots of other working people in the country inflation had my back against the wall. Fell behind several times on my mortgage, got all the legal documents that precede a foreclosure, hell even filed for chapter 13 a couple of times to save my home. Nothing seemed to work for me because like everyone else my check just could not pay the mortgage and all the other high expenses that came along with this bad economy. But the foreclousure never happened because Wilshire eventually did a loan modify for me reducing my principle and intrest payment by $315.00. and also forgiving a total debt of $76k on my loan. So I am happy and there is no hidden statements or fees because I already had an FHA loan so the terms of my loan did not change they just did a motify on it. Was it easy? No I had a lot of promises made to me and a lot of phones calls not returned but eventually it happened. I just wanted to share that story with you.

When will the federal government look into what this company is doing to homeowners. They have violated all RESPA and FDCPA guidelines and are predatory lender violators. It has to stop. Wilshire is a debt collection agency. Not a mortgage lender. Everyone who has to deal with these people please, please, please check your statements each month ands check to see the "bogus" charges. They are creating "negative amortization" on your homes by creating questionable charges to put your deeper in debt to them and wipe out your equity. Do not take this. It is illegal.

Whilshire is the worst company i have ever delt with. I have been paying them for my mortgage that was sold to them 2 years ago. They keep putting exra cgarges on my statements every month.They never call back when they say they will and forget getting anything done when you call them. They just take your info and never get back to you. I applied for a rate freeze and was told evrything looked good and they would send me the paperwork. Then 3 weeks later they call and tell me I need to make more money to get any help, stupid ass, if I made more money I wouldn't need a loan modification. Then again a month or so later they call and say I make to much money. What the hell is the problem here. I am not behind on payments but I will not be able to keep paying them when they go up next month. My wife was forced to switch jobs because her company closed due the economy slowing down. I work for the state and we are fighting to not loose are yearly raise for the next 2 years. Last year are town was declared a National Disaster because of a major flood that took out 450+ homes right down the street from me. This didn't help my equity to say the least. Nobody planned for the country to be in such a crisis but whilshire sems not to care or even think to help anyone in anyway.

You people are so uneducated!!! How many of you so called "screwed people" agreed to an 80 / 20 mortgage with an adjustable rate on your home??

If you didn't know these things when you sat down and signed all of your paperwork at closing...you have NO business owning a home...that simple. Heres a few things that you people should be aware of. Wilshire is a mortgage servicing company...they dont make the rulkes...they just enforce them. They have bosses that tell them what to do with the loans that they service. These boses are the investors who lent you the money to buy your house in the first place. Secondly, your loan is a tradeable commodity. You dont own that loan therefore nobody needs your permission to trade it or sell it however many times they want to. Thats the way it works out there. Newsflash...you dont own your home until you are free and clear of all payments...thats menas insurance owed and the like...all the way down to late fees that are attached at any point to your loan. Do yourselves all a favor...before you WASTE your hard earned money trying to sue a company that hold billions of dollars worth or mortgages and is backed by two of the biggest banks in the world...I would suggest doing your homework a bit. You wont win a case against a company that is contractually bound to do what they do....your signatures are on those mortgages and notes binding you to your originaly agreements...if you defaulted at all....you dont have a standing chance in court if you try to play those cards. Their pockets are way too deep for you to do any damage. Just my .02 on the market. Lets all stop screaming poor me and understand that everyone plays a part in the default of the market.

You people are so uneducated!!! How many of you so called "screwed people" agreed to an 80 / 20 mortgage with an adjustable rate on your home?? And how many of you knew that at some point that this loan was going to adjust??

Wilshire stopped accepting my payments when I got 2 paymewnts behind. One couselor accpeted a payment, the next refused to accept 3 payments. I am sending a certfied letter of complaint to HUD who lists Wilshire as an approved lender, and filing complaints with the Housing Authority and the Secretary of Secretary of Housing and Urban Development. Maybe when they realize there are organizations that are corrupting our nation's housing markets, they will act to close them down.

Wilshire does not allow accelerated payments as is typical with mrtgage lenders. Reason - Wilshire is NOT a mortgage company, it is a collection agency. Therefore, anyone who bought a mortgage and was subsequently transferred to this collection agency was "baited and switched" since it is not the mortgage service originally purchased. There is clear intent to collect - and can contend they are unable to provide, loan workout arrangements as deliberate method to acquire and strip "easy" equity from former mortgage holders. Mortgagee/now creditor is definitely swimming with sharks in this unsolicited "business" arrangement as this thread indicates. Attorney should be able to easily walk these facts through legal process to recovery. Good luck!

We did a short sale with them. They dragged their feet repeatedly & we lost buyers as a result. Finally got the short sale done for considerably less than the first offer. No promissary note signed, but several months later the harassing calls started to collect the money they supposedly forgave. They have said I need to do a repayment plan, but they REFUSE to send me anything in writing. I finally told them to sue me or quit calling me. Each time the person on the phone doesn't even know I sold the house. RIDICULOUS! Hope this market takes them down, too bad they have ruined decent people's credit in the process.

I have been dealing with Wilshire for approx. 2 yrs now and am now, supposedly, under foreclosure, which was news to me when I had just gotten off the phone with a representative who stated that I wasn't being foreclosed. My doorbell rang just minutes ago and I was served papers from a law office representing Argent Mortgage. Apparently, through research, Wilshire bought out Argent. Okay, fine. I just got off with them telling me about a payment plan which we can deal with, but why am I being served with papers of foreclosure after I had just gotten off the phone with them? I'm utterly confused. I'm not sure what to do other than write the law office and state what I am doing with Wilshire. Paper trail is a MUST DO! I'm not sure what I'll be having to deal with, but I can assure you, if it's anything as heinous as the past postings I've read . . . I'll be down for any class action lawsuit against this company.

Wilshire was fraudulently reporting to the Credit Bureau that I owed more than I barrowed on both loans. On the secondary loan when I had paid $100.00 extra in the beginning which now had me paying into principle and it reflected so on my monthly statements. Wilshire tried to impose Forced Flood insurance when I bordered a flood zone but did not live in it. Because I could not win the argument and they would remove the forced flood insurance unless I had my own. I went out and got a flood certificate from Farmers Then they continued to try to charge me for Forced Flood insurance after I had provided proof I was insured through Farmers The Forced Flood Insurance ordeal created a late payment when it was less than 48 hours late Wilshire tried to bill me $800.00 for Forced Flood Insurance after they had received proof that I had my own Flood Insurance. Their website would not take a partial payment, so I had to wait until Monday to pay by Phone. Monday was the 17th and they reported me 30 late to the credit bureau. Wilshire reported to the Credit Bureau that I was 30 late when in fact I was only 2 days late and would not have been late at all if they had not been charging me for something I did not owe. Mortgage institutions do not report 30 days late until you are truly 30 late because of the negative impact it has on Credit Scores. Once I re-financed out from under them, Payoff Balances were $7000.00 higher than my billing statements + prepayment penalty points I signed the re-finance paperwork under the duress knowing that I would lose my home if I did not sign at that time. So I took the losses at the time. Rhett Attwood rhettattwood@msn.com 4258309168

Have been through so many of these comments. They lost paperwork, payments, posted payments late, wouldn't take payments then started foreclosure. Funny (not) my "forebearance" amount was the same amout of thier bogus, unwanted "insurance" scam. Now several thousand dollars poorer, forebearance money missing, no one will call me back and my payment is listed to be $ 580.00 but "system" wants $ 11,000.00 gues I'll get behind again and they can have it this time!

I wish everyone who thought about posting on here would first learn a few basics about Mortgage SERVICING companies. Willshire is the servicer, not the LENDER, so therefore they are like a debt collector - not a mortgage orginator. They don't set the interest rates, they don't raise the rates and they don't change your Note. They just collect what is due to the investor every month. If you think they're so bad, ever try dealing with CITI or Wells? Ask any Realtor who specializes in forecloser sales. They'll tell you the truth! Times are tough, the hsing market is in the dumps and I'm sure Willshire is VERY busy. The last thing a mortgage company wants is another listing to try and sell in this market. I highly doubt they're going after something that's not owed to an investor.

I am an original ameriquest mortgage owner they sold the mortgage to wilshire credit 2 monthes before I was able to refinance which wilshire doesn't refinance. I was told that they would not raise my interest rate for at least 2 years but they did in 3monthes, then in 6 monthes, now again whish I can't afford. I sent them info that they requested to help me figure out how they can reduce my payment's but it only took them 1 hour to call me back and say that they would not help me that I could not afford anything. I have not missed a mortgage payment in 11 years, nor have been late at anytime. When they raised the payments to an outrages amount I decided not to pay them at all since there was not 1 red cent put against the princeple of the loan. I have paid in interest over the last 3 years 80,000.00 dollars. They claim they are a debt collector not a mortgage company, why are they listed on the wed as a mortge company not a debt collector. I'm sending all the info to the attorney generals office hoping they start a class action suit just as they did with ameriquest since wilshire bought most of ameriquest's mortgages from them. I still think they are related in someway and are just trying to get back the monies lost thru the ameriquest law suit. Please if anyone out there are in the same boat as I am please contact the attorney generals office Atlanta, Georgia. I know we can try to get them to do the same as they did against Ameriquest in 50 States. Thanks..

I got caught up with these morons when my mortgage was sold to them about a month after I got my loan in 2006. I have had NOTHING but bad experiences with them ever since. I think every single payment I made tot hem was posted late and has killed my credit. recently, back in Jan 08, apparently my payments went up. I did not know this until May 08 when I called to request a payoff amount and they told me i owed them a substantial amount of money in back payments and late fees. I asked when it went up, they said Jan, I asked why and got no answer but suspected it was due to a tax increase. I asked when they didnt send me a letter and they said they did but it was sent to a house that I had 8 YEARS AGO!! 4 addresses earlier!!! I dont even know how they got that address. I than asked why they didnt call me about it, they said they couldnt because there was a no call on the number, I asked what number it was and it wasnt even a number that I had ever had! So, January was short, and late becasue of that, Feb payment was used to pay january's (which was now on my credit report) March was used to pay febuary (which again was already late and on my report) April was used to pay all the late fees, etc..this just snowballed and every month since january was at least 30 days late and on my credit report. They than told me if it wasn't paid in 2 days it was going into forclosure, I had no choice but to use my savings and pay all th elate fees, monthly inspection fees(inspection for what????). Wilshire Credit has got to be the worste company I have ever had to deal with. Their sneaky tactics and multiple monthly fee's have been awful. Now here over the past weeks I have applied for a position in a government position and was excepted and began working. In order to keep the position I have to have Clearance. My clearance was denied due to the marks on my credit report from wilshire, and a couple old small debts i was just unaware of. I tool care of everything except wilshire, they won't give me letter stateing I called them and wont rectify their side of things. They said n th ehone if i faxed the info i needed they would get it done asap and get it back to me (clearance is very time sensitive). I immediately got th einfo together, and faxed it to them. They sent me a letter about 2 weeks later, saying we will investigate this and do not expect a reply for at least 60 days!!!! They just got done telling me over the phone it would be done right away! If you are with them, I suggest getting out from under them as soon as you can.

My mortgage was sold to them 30 days after I bought my house in Aug. 06. I put 35k down on my home. At this time my house is valued at 176k and I owe 115k. Since day one I have had problems with them not posting payments on time. Then in Nov. 07 they paid my taxes. I have no escrow account with them and they never notified me. Then they doubled my taxes and raised my 988 house payment to 1683. Just to make sure everyone knows that HUD regulates this and they are only allowed to cushion my escrow by 2 monthly payments, not 12. I have reported them to FTC, BBB and the OAG of Oregon. Now they will not accept my July and Aug payment because they are forcing me into foreclosure with over 10k in escrow (that I do not owe) and fees. I have paid the 1328 with the taxes but the have put me behind every month for the other 335 dollars. What I really owe is 3,600 which I have and tried to pay but they will not accept it. Today I paid an attorney to file chapter 13. All I have left is to take the credit counseling course and pay the court cost. I am going to file to save my home and then I am taking them to court. I will start the first case after my chapter 13 is filed and invite anyone to contact me to turn it into a class action suit. If you live in the Dallas area or Texas – I implore you to contact me doinit4robbie@yahoo.com. Today is 8/11/08 and I will be filing in the next few weeks to come. When I do take them to court it will not just be for the amount of my chapter 13 but defamation of character, harassment, pain and suffering etc. I am not one to sit back and take it. I will fight to the death on this and Wilshire does not know what they got when they decided to pick on me.

I was truthful and willing to do all most anything and everything to get back on track only for them to treat me like an old girlfriend with a grudge. I am trying to keep my statements 'light' because profanity will only make me look bad and not resolve the hurt, pain, humiliation and embarrassment Wilshire has caused by implementing one illegal action after another.

We have a 10 acre farm in which we have over half equity in. Wilshire began servicing our loan approximately 8 years into the mortgage. Part of our acreage has a floodway that passes through it. Although our home is clearly out of the hazard area, and I proved it several times by faxing DNR mapping to them, Wilshire put forced placed flood insurance onto the cost of the loan. This additional cost increased our mortgage payment by 50%. We continued to make our contracted payment while this was being protested until they refused to accept our payment and proof, forcing us into foreclosure.

I was the first one to make an offer for that home. They promised to give me a reply in just 2 days. My realtor kept contacting them everyday and now its over 3 weeks. Still no reply.

I had to leave a job due to the fact that I wasn't willing to compromise my morals and principles so my employer could continue to use me to do evil. My income was significantly less and we struggled to get everything caught back up once I found a new job. I immediately called Wilshire and was told to not worry and just pay what we could. Each time we called, we were told to do something different (i.e. file forms, write letters, etc...) and the situation got worse and worse. Our calls were not returned, we were put on hold for hours, we were promised items that were never received, our file was transferred and no one would take responsibility for it, and the list goes on of unprofessional conduct from Wilshire. Finally after almost a year, and careful documentation on my part, Wilshire agreed to work with us and reduce our payments. This took months and we are still getting documents that change the amount we owe each month. I am keeping track of everything through documentation and will be very happy to join in a class-action lawsuit. I highly recommend that consumers completely avoid anything to do with Wilshire and for those who are already ensnared, I recommend lots of documentation.

Unfortunately, I have been dealing/suffering with this company for the last 14 years. It is THE WORST! I will gladly join in on a class action suit. We made all payments on time, or so we thought. Wilshire would ''hold'' them and post after the third week so as to assess late fees. Many of times they claimed to have not received them until the 16th or 17th of the month, so I would send them certified mail. From day one, they would not accept personal checks, only Money Orders or Cashiers checks. They claimed we weren't making payments although I had proof by way of signed certified slips and copies of my cashiers checks. We had to come up with almost 5 thousand dollars ASAP to save the house. It wasn't until a few years later, while closing out our checking account did I learn that they never cashed those checks!! About 6 months after taking our loan over, they put us in a sheriff's sale for unpaid taxes. I learned this from reading the local newspaper!! Our property taxes were included in our payments. They *claimed* the prior lender didn't make the payments on our behalf. We paid the 3 thousand Wilshire said was owed - it wasn't easy to come up with that much money in 24 hours! A month later, Wilshire increased our monthly payment by $200. I called, and like so many others, spent hours on hold or left numerous voice messages, inquiring about the extra amount. For almost two weeks this went on daily. Finally I got a live person and was told the increase was to recover the extra money they had to put out for the tax sale. I said I made the payments myself to the tax office and wanted a refund. They would need to "look into it and get back to me". I waited a week and started calling again, only to have the same run around. A month later we received a letter stating they were still increasing our payment as a cushion for future expenses. WHATEVER! I was tired of fighting with them. Several years ago, we filed CH 13, only to protect the house. I was in a terrible car accident and have since been permanently disabled. Our payment was well above $1200, due to so called fees, extra escrow, etc. (Our original loan was only for $86K with monthly payments, including taxes, $685. a month). The lawyer could not believe how asinine this company was. She could not get an accurate amount owed from them, each week the figured changed dramatically, they could not or would not supply us with any documentation, etc. I gave all the paperwork I had and we surmised a figure and submitted it to the courts. Wilshire dragged their feet all the way. Bankruptcy papers were filed but not granted for almost 9 months!! It took that long for Wilshire to agree on the amount owed. Two years into the BK, they sent a demand letter stating they just found a clerical error and we actually owed 8 thousand more. Our lawyer said too bad. A few months later they tried foreclosing on our home!! HELLO?.....we're in bankruptcy protection you morons!! After our discharge, we tried to refinance with someone else.....anyone else, just to get away from them!! Wilshire again dragged their feet and the deals fell through. Since then, the housing crisis has come into effect and we are unable to refinance. A couple of companies has told us that it will be very hard to get away from Wilshire. We have 10 years left on our note and praying for things to get better. As of last month, they raised our payment again. Apparently my property taxes this year will be $20,000.00 (almost half of what's owed on the house!) since that is what Wilshire is claiming the increase is for. Funny though, according to town hall, the taxes are only 6 thousand for the year. I am more than willing to participate in a lawsuit. I have lots of documentation regarding their unscrupulous practices.

I had 2 NSF checks in the last year because of "hardship" and have gotten behind on my mortgage payments. Wilshire will only accept cashiers checks or money orders from me. This requirement costs me an extra $20.00 a month. I have arranged for the checks to come out of my checking account through a bill pay online service - which they send a cashiers check for payment. Wilshire WILL NOT ACCEPT THIS CASHIER'S CHECK AS PAYMENT and therefore my house is going to foreclosure. Don't you think if they received a check for $2500 they would cash it - get whatever they could? They will not work with me. It is ridiculous.

I am a Realtor representing a buyer who is tryig to purchase a property where Wilshire has the first loan. After waiting for 3 months we received full approval and a settlement agreement with the 2nd. My client cashed in stocks, wired a down payment, paid for an appraisal and inspections, docs were signed, Kathy Bugansky gave us a verbal approval on the final HUD, my client's loan actulaly funded..and then Wilshire pulled the plug. What's worse, is my client is willing to pay more money, but no one answers the phone! We definately have a viable lawsuit. Are there any other buyer's who have had these problems with Wilshire? Are there any lawyers out there dying to sue this crooked company? If so, contact me at jstchking@gmail.com.

They purchased my refinance loan from my original lender Argent and are not a mortgage lender. Therefore they could not help me refinance nor were they willing to do a loan modification so that my rate would stay as it was prior to this month so that I would have time to find employment to afford the new mortgage payment.

How dare you people even have the nerve to stay in business and pass yourselves off as a "caring" company? You are the worst bunch of thieves I ever had the misfortune of becoming acquainted with. You literally stole my house and I hope you all burn in hell for your callous, hardhearted, nasty and filthy ways of doing "business". When you choose to keep an employee who had absolutely no busines working for you then you deserve everything bad that can happen to you. You are a disgrace, and I hope eventually everyone finds out about you. I am making it my busines to see that that happens.

I have to agree with what everyone is saying about wilshire they suck! I have never delt with a mortgage company like them before.Know body wants to work. I have done a short sale on my home in oct. of 07 it was hell for 7 months.I can't even begin to tell you how many times papers where faxed to them it was crazy and very stressfull. We finally got approved in April for a short sale now we still have the problem with I thought a short sale was you sell your home for the best price and the remaining is suppose to be forgiven debt. Wilshire is now saying we are responsible for the remaing debt on our home that we sold. It hurt our credit bad now we have a big remaing debt on our credit report and is now going to be hard for our family to purchase a more affotable home for us.Can any relate to this. I thought that was the whole idea of a short sale is that the remaing of the sale of your house wilshire is suppose to forgive. I think we have been scamed and we will be getting in touch with a lawyer and file a law suit. Wilshire has no right being in buisness they are rude ignorant and don't give a shit about peoples lives.

I fell behind on my payments and could not keep up with them. I tried to sell the house-no ofers-awful housing market. Found an investor who moved into my house and did make some payments -they went up to 1800.00 a month because of the insurance-he fell behind on the payments and is now moving out because he cant afford them.Im taking him to small claioms court-he doesnt know this yet-but Im not being nice anymore! I have all my stuff in storage-My boyfriend and I worked on this house for months trying to get it ready to sell before I moved out of it. Now that the house is in foreclosure again-Wilshire is trying to work something out with me and is finally willing to work with me-probably becuase of all the bad publicity about them. I fnally have only one person to work with and the name of one person to work with.This is after sending in things that were constantly lost! This company is a mess-maybe they are finally realizing that they will be investigated because of everything they are doing to people.I have my house back, but it has been a long, very awful struggle-I dont want to go through it again!Im not even moving back in, but my daughters are! When you deal with them tell them you are hiring an attorney to deal with them. they will try an dwork with you then. GOOD LUCK EVERYONE! Dont give up!

I have been working with another realtor to close a deal on a property that Willshire is now in control of. We have been trying for 6 weeks to get an answer as to whether they will accept the short sale. I understand that things take time and in this day and age with so many foreclosures it is a problem. However, no one calls you back, voice mail boxes are full, phone rings into eternity and no one answers. I was lucky enough to finally get the person I needed to speak with and she promised me that she would call the other agent involved in the case the moment we hung up. She did not. The buyers have been approved and been very patient but they have a deadline to where they can purchase this property or they have to walk away. We have an able , willing and approve buyer for a property that is going to go to foreclosure, in which case someone is going to loose a whole lot more money than what the current deal is offering. This makes no sense to me.

We are working out a short sale approval for our listing and the 1st mortgage holder is ASC and they responded to us and gave their written approval letter by mid-May. Wilshire's negotiator, Kathleen Bugansky said on May 22 that the Investors approved to release the lien for $7,300. I asked for the written approval letter to be sent to me and she said on Friday, May 23 that she has to wait until May 27 to be able to get the letter from the Investors. Called her several times, until finally I spoke with her yesterday and she said she will expedite it and contact the Investors. I waited for the fax, but still received nothing. Called her back yesterday, she didnt return my call. I finally got to speak with her supervisor today and he said that Kathleen noted on the account that the short sale was denied yesterday. She didnt even have the courtesy to call us and inform us why it was denied when she said in the first place was that the Investors approved to release the lien for $7,300 as a short sale payoff. The supervisor said he cant do anything about it until he speaks with her because Kathleen is out of the office today. He told me I'll have to wait until Monday. The problem is the 1st Mortgage cannot give us an extension and they will foreclose if we dont close escrow by June 16. Is there anybody who can help us?

Wilshire is the worst companny I have worked with. We fell behind due to a loss in job. This company will not help. I have asked for a modification due to hardship since Aug 07. They won't call back, they won't modify the loan. I have faxed then document after document. They have raised my mortgage by $800.00 since May 07. We need help and it is not fair that we ended up with the mortgage company because the orignal loan was sold. I have contacted my local news stations and Wilshire would not respond to them. After numerous attempt they contacted the news station and lied and stated that I never submitted document requesting a loan modificaton. They have the worst customer service. One minute they will take a payment then they tell me to wire it. They state that they have not adopted the President's plan. So what happens to us and our families? How do we explain to our children that we are losing our home? I all of us customers who are suffering could file a law suit against this company.

Nice for them--we lost everything guess we dont get squat. they tossed uut old loan-wrote a new one with a new number and are demanding to be paid again!! not only did both of us not sign the new loan agreement- but they never paid off the taxes..taxes are going up for auction feb 09 and were forfeited a month after new loan payment was due. That is so illegal. No idea how they are getting away with this. Contact blonde_n_brilliant@yahoo.com to see what lawyer says. unreal. doing away with the middle class folks.

HELP! I want to save my house. My partner and I fell behind on our payments at Wilshire's Request because our payment was expected to jump from $3800 to $5300. We were told to not pay so they could modify the loan. This unfortunately was bad advice. We have been trying to get a modification since October of 2007. It's now May and not much has taken place yet. I call and call. No one ever returns the call and will not accept payments. They put my house in foreclosure status, but have explained they will take it out once the loan is modified. What do I do? I am thinking of hiring an attorney....

starno starno starno starno star by KJ From Stockton, CA on May 03, 2008

My laon was sold to Wilshire by Countrywide when I tried to refinance Country Wide could still pull up my loan information. So Wilshire does just service my loan. I have attempted to work out a modification with them for over 6 months and the best they could do was drop my payment on both loans by asbout 100.00 dollars. When you say you can't pay they just threaten you with the fact that it will ruin your credit score. What I find ironic is after you submit the information requested they send you the same forms to complete over and over. I think the company that needs to answer is Countrywide they sold loans to Wilshire to service. My way of thinking is that everyone who is with Wilshire has a loan which represents a high risk category to the lender such as an ARM or an interest only loan and since they are a debt collector Countrywide so are souls to this devil of a company. If I don't get the service I require I am going to attmept to organize a meet at their headquarters in Oregon. People don't like bad publicity and if enough of us show are displeasure some lawyer who is trying to make a name for himself will step in for the consumer.

Anyone who is being serviced by Wilshire Credit and who originally had New Century Mortgage as their provider please read the following. It seems that many people are being foreclosed on to make up for Deutsche Bank losses. This bank is already in trouble for "predatory lending" and one judge in another city threw out all the foreclosures due to the fact that information had not been recorded on the homeowners deed to whom the lienholder of the property was. All this information is accessible online. Deutsche Bank (a German based bank) bought the mortgages from New Century in 2005. I would suggest you to send correspondence to the Federal Banking and Securities Exchange Commission. The bank had a pretax loss of 254 million euros (now $395 million) for the first quarter, its first loss in five years, after writing down $4.2 billion in tainted loans and mortgage-backed securities. Deutsche Bank had warned of write-downs earlier in the month, so they stirred less concern among analysts than the effect of the financial crisis on the bank’s day-to-day sales and trading businesses. Revenue was down sharply in traditional franchises of Deutsche Bank, like credit and equity derivatives trading. Its chief financial officer, Anthony Di Iorio, declined to reconfirm the bank’s earnings forecast for 2008, saying there was too much turbulence in the markets.

Wilshire Credit is a "collection agency" not a mortgage company. They have lied to me for 5 months and I kerpt calling them but they would never call back. They are mortgage servicers although I'm not sure why because they are a credit and collection company. They sell your information to other agencies. I cannot understand why the people who work at Wilshire and see what Wilshire is doing are still there. It seemd as if there should have been at least one whistle blower by now. They have foreclosed on our home and my husband and I now have to file bankruptcy. Our payment was never the same amount. They have kept adding charges they do not account for and they have added insurance to our loan when we already have insurance. Because they are making money off their "high risk" insurance. This company needs to be stopped. They are doing whatever they want to do depending on who you talk to. I was called "stupid" and told me that I need to go find a decent job. They told me to go get some education.They then told me that I didn't need a home because I couldn't pay for one. That seems a little strange due to the fact that I have lived in this same home for 20 years. If Wilshire knows you have any equity whatsoever in your home they will take it in a heartbeat. IS THERE ANY ATTORNEY OUT THERE WHO WILL FILE A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT AGAINST THIS COMPANY? PLEASE PLEASE POST YOUR NAME SO ALL OF US CAN GET SOME KIND OF RELIEF/COMPENSATION AND SHUT THIS COMPANY DOWN. They have destroyed prople's lives by taking their homes needlessly. They say that when you know you are going to be late making a mortgage payment to call your mortgage company immediately. That doesn't work with Wilshire Credit. They also know when you make any complaint against them and they make you pay by retaliation. Isn't that illegal? This is a shim sham company to say the least and they should not be in business. Especially as a mortgage company.

My brother in-law had an ARM loan that started getting adjusted. Wilshire rep told him that it would adjust every six month. First adjustment was +$200. He went through the loan modification process without any success. Same story, took forever due to them constantly "missing documents". He is a Vet and was able to get a VA loan that financed up to 97% of the new loan amount. He was lucky to get a good appraisal on his property that allowed him to take out enough $$ on his new loan to pay them off and refinance. It also took them 1 week to get the payoff balance and he had to reschedule his closing twice. I would suggest people on this blog to try to refi if they can and see what the property appraises at.

We have had an ongoing problem with this company. They have put us in foreclosure 4 times. They do not answer or return calls in a timely manner. We requested a "payoff" and it took 3-4 weeks.

Our mortgage was sold to Wilshire 15 mos. ago, and they still can't get it right. We waited SIX mos. to get a new escrow statement, and after umpteen calls and letters, only to discover after another hour's worth of phone calls with 4 people that no one could explain why our paymts. went up $400/month. Turns out we were shortfalled in escrow because they paid the haz. insurance, and didn't escrow for it from day 1 when they bought they mortgage from MLN USA .. not such a hot company either. And of course, the escrow shortfall was subject to accruing interest. And the shortfall --- they would NOT have brought to our attention until our next escrow statement due date (this coming JULY, 08). They were finally able to offer us a split payment, so that we only have to pay $200 a month more, but does someone there think we got a raise for $200/month ?? NOT. And then they hold back posting a payment so WE get reported as being late, and late charged, and now our credit report has a black hole in it .. it was once stellar credit, no thanks to Wilshire, who of course made $$$ by not posting the payment the day they got it. And not one person I've ever spoken to there actually OWNS their own home -- therefore, they haven't got a clue what the rest of us are on the line for. No wonder ... they are just RENTERS, what does it matter to them ?? If I could discharge this mortgage to another lender tomorrow, who is ready and able to answer questions with the RIGHT ANSWERS, it would be done in a heartbeat.

Look what the judge did in Flordia, Ohio and Nevada - he THREW OUT the foreclosure claims because the "new" owner of the mortgage note COULD NOT PROVE they owned the note. Judges no longer seem to be accepting the "Loss Note" excuse either! From what I've been reading most of these financial companies dont know WHO owns the note because it may be several investors.

Im a third party working on a short sale. Unfortunately I have to deal with Wilshire. I called their main phone line and for some reason everytime they connect you to wait for the next representative, it rings for a long period of time. Ive waited on the line for about 15 to 20 minutes waiting to talk to a representative.. So i looked up their website to find another number and came across this site, finding all these complaints. WOW.. is all i could say. weeks before, I called to get a status of a document and finding out that they didnt receive it. what a bunch of crap. I got the confirmation from my fax saying that it did go through. Wilshire is the most stupidest lender that ive had to deal with. Ive encountered more crap from them but it's too much to mention. They dont care about you, they are just money hungry. GOD forbid that this situation comes across any of the WIlshire staff and their friends and family. They are very ignorant and rude. They talk to you like we are little 4 year old children. They shouldnt be mad and annoyed by our calls, after all they CHOSE the job.. dumb asses..

Due to having the loan officer from hell, an employee of Wilshire I lost my home because she took it upon herself to put my loan into foreclosure after I had specifically fired her from having anything to do with my account. My accout number was 337499. I lost the home my mother left me because she did this to me after I specifically had her removed from having anything to do with the account. I talked to a guy named Kevin who agreed to work with me, and because I was 2 days late getting my payment wired to Wilshire she went behind his back and put the account into foreclosure one day after the due date. True, I had signed a paper stating that it would be in on a specific date, but I had talked to Kevin and he said it would be all right to be two days late. She had absolutely no right to do that, and as a result I lost my home. I think something should be done to punish her and if she is still an employee there should be firec. I cannot think of her name at this time but will look into my papers and find id. when I do, I will send the information to you. I thnk if you look at my account number you could find her name. She is a disgrace to your company and I hope something dreadful happens to her. If it were not for my brother, I would be homeless. Sincerely, Pamela Farmer My e-mail is pamfarmer1945@yahoo.com

WE FELL BEHIND ON OUR LOAN, CONTACTED WILSHIRE FOR ASSISTANCE. THEY IMMEDIATELY ASSURED US THAT THEY WOULD HELP BY MODIFYING THE LOAN. WHEN WE TRIED TO CONTINUE TO MAKE PAYMENTS, THE SYSTEM WOULD NOT ACCEPT IT. THEY TOLD US TO NOT MAKE PAYMENTS DURING THIS PROCESS. OUT OF THE BLUE WE RECEIVED FORECLOSURE NOTICE, THE SALE WAS PUBLISHED IN THE PAPER BEFORE WE WERE MADE AWARE OF THE SALE DATE. AFTER NEARLY 2 WEEKS OF ATTEMPTING CONTACT WITH THE LOSS MITIGATOR, FINALLY HE ASSURED US AGAIN THAT THEY WERE NOT GOING TO FORECLOSE ADN THAT HE COULD GET AN EXTENSION TO COMPLETE THE MODIFICATION. THIS WAS 1 WEEK BEFORE THE SALE DATE. WE WERE NEVER NOTIFIED OF THE EXTENSION, COULD NOT CONTACT ANYONE, THEN OUR HOME WAS PUBLISHED YET AGAIN IN THE PAPER WITH NO NOTIFICATION. I FINALLY SCRAPED UP A NUMBER TO THE LOSS MITIGATION DEPT. AND NOW WE HAVE A 30 DAY EXTENSION BUT FOR THE LAST 3 DAYS NO ONE CAN BE CONTACTED. WE ARE ATTEMPTING TO REINSTATE THE LOAN BUT OTHER LOAN COMPANIES ARE TELLING US TO GET A LAWYER AND JOIN THE CLASS ACTION SUIT.

I'm in the process of attempting to purchase a home in a short sale situation from Wilshire Financial. It's been months since I have submitted my offer and they just don't seem to be able to get their stuff together enough to get the home closed. I was purchasing through a special program established to help buyers in DuPage county, Illinois. A very expensive place to live, and special programs were established to help buyers get in. Due to Wilshire Financials inactivity I have more than likely lost my grant financing and may not be able to purchase a home at all because they have taken their sweet sweet time processing my offfer. They are awful!!!!!!!!

When trying to refinance while I was employed, Wilshire only would state that they were a debt collection agency and servicer of my loan. They did not tell me they were my mortgage company until January when I demanded to know who was my mortgage company. They offer no options and not really concerned other than increasing interest rates and being paid on time.

They killed out short sale by losing the file repeatedly for 4 1/2 months. The buyer walked. We brought them another offer and they lied about when my Realtor got them the paperwork they wanted. Six different people have had our file. They told us they don;t care if we go BK or if they accept the sale. Their workout reps also have no clue about the Tax relief Act Bush signed.

i submitted paperwork for a possible agreement. I received the run around. It took weeks for someone to locate my file. There was finally one nice lady named Yvonne who tracked it down and reviewed my info from beginning to end. she thought things looked promising and advised me to follow up in few days after it was assigned to Jason. I followed up and he told me if "people like you would stop calling, i could do my job". I mentioned my approaching foreclosure date and he said "do not call me, i will call you" He was very rude and I did not feel he wanted to help me. He called back in 1 hour and told me he couldn't help me. He said I had a surplus of money and should have had more $ saved than I did. I hustled and scraped $1000 as a good faith payment and was prepared to pick up and he said "oh well". he was in a nasty,bad mood and had my fate in my hands. I am forced to file bankruptcy now. Wilshire will now be stuck with yet another house in a dead market to get rid of,, when they could have worked things out with me. Thanks Jason,, you rude jerk.

The worst company I have ever dealt with. I dealt with them in the mid 90s and they had reported missing payments, and will not handle any disputes. Their inaccurate late reporting still on my credit report. The loan balance never reduced (up until we refinanced) and there were mysterious categories such as "escrow fees?" that were not disclosed in any of their Note or other loan documents (I work for a bank for a living). They have violated every Fair Credit Reporting Act imaginable! FTC will not do anything about the complaints I have submitted in the past.

We have had several contracts with this company only to find out that they have put a charge off on our credit report. If this company is not a loan company, how can their modification department write out another loan as if it has been refinanced and throw 2 1/2 years worth of interest out the window? We have put over $30,000 into this loan and now from our new contract we are starting over with a new loan. And this includes from what they say are unpaid interest and fees from when they first acquired the loan. So, I still ask, what were we paying when we did the other contracts. We have still not received a statement of where any of our money has gone since Wilshire took over our loan.

I have been trying to do a short sale with Wilshire for over a year now. They have drawn out the process, sent my home to foreclosure sale twice which I stopped by filing Chapter 13. All this while they possessed an offer from a qualified buyer. Now 1 yr later, I called and told their rep I had another offer for $180K and they said I am not to bother sending the offer in as they would rather take their chances at the foreclosure sale. So they truly have the interest of their shareholders at the forefront.

I notified Wilshire of a cash sale in Aug/07.In Sept they foreclosed anyhow.I still had a buyer and a signed contract.They have held this sale up for months refusing to answer calls faxes and correspondence from two attorneys,two realtors, my buyer and myself.The company set an auction date kindly for Dec.18th, right before Christmas,and refuse to give an answer to the buyer I have now who is paying $105,900 for the home.I have an $87,000 mortgage they are giving 102,900 for a pay off amount and will not close the deal knowing the sale date is days away.They have upset everyone involved.they even called my attorney a liar and said he never faxed all the required documents when he has copies of doc. received back from the company.They accused him of falsifying confirmations of getting faxes.each time we make contact with them we are on hold for 12-30 minutes at a time.When they do pick up they say they never knew about a sale and ask can you send us the same info. we have repeatedly sent.They are deliberately stalling so they can auction the house and still try to come after me.I have had 3 months of excuses for not accepting the sale.Do these folks want to get paid or not? If they force me to file bankruptcy they will not get the money they could receive right now.How incompetent is that? A company that refuses to get paid and puts on hold the lives of 10 people.I could have moved out on Oct. 1.Instead I have to get out at Christmas.They are the worst idiots I have ever had the displeasure of dealing with and may I also add in my opinion they raised me illegally and have treated me unfairly from the day the bought my account.When I first fell behind one of their collectors called me screaming the "F" word over and over in my ear.That is how they treat their customers.If they get your mortgage refinance as soon as you can.If you don't they will raise you foreclose as fast as they can and refuse to let you sell it.Watch out and beware of WILSHIRE CREDIT NIGHTMARE BEFORE -CHRISTMAS!!!!!!!

When my husband told them we could not survive like this they said to let all our other bills go including letting our utilities be turned off now mind you we're in Michigan it was winter we do need heat, but they don't care we can freeze to death all they want is money.Well if the foreclose they'll be lucky to even get half what we owed.Very BAD,RUDE Company and also they ruined our credit ,so now we can't even refinance to try to get away from them.Don't try to talk to only 1 person they always tell you he/she is out or no longer works there.

The company is owned by Merrill Lynch and I am not sure if Merrill Lynch's executives, or better yet the company's shareholders, know that Wilshire's attitude and uncooperative approach is costing Merrill Lynch millions of dollars. I have a client who is going to lose her home to foreclosure because Wilshire credit would not accept $375,000 short payoff request on a loan amount of $380,000. Based on the current market conditions, Merrill Lynch will be lucky to recoup $350,000 if they foreclose on the property, not to mention the costs they are going to incur to proceed with a foreclosure action. I wonder if Merrill Lynch's executives and shareholders are aware that Wilshire Credit is ran by bunch of ignorant people. It’s not their money. So, they could care less. Merrill Lynch’s executives and shareholders ought to look into the practices of Wilshire Credit Corporation to save millions of money for their shareholders.

Wilshire credit corp has been one of the worst companies to deal with, with the exception of Chase. They are unwilling to work with us to bring us current they just want the money now everything else will have to wait. Their suggestion is to miss our car payment and bring the loan to date, one does not justify the other in my book. There is just no working with them, they are unfeeling and at many times rude.

No matter what they tell you, they will not let you slide at all. my spouse lost his job of 8 years we needed sometime to find a new job and they would not give it. they foreclosed on my home and then re-bought it themselves for 164,000 the house is worth 280,000 and now the second loans want there 80,000. no one would refinance me because of how they did our credit. DO not be fooled by them!. Now we are being forced to file bankruptcy because we can not afford to pay the $80,000 to HSBC our secondary. HSBC was working with us and wilshire and then wilshire foreclosed without even letting HSBC know. Per hsbc they sent the info to wrong addresses over and over again and the only reason they knew of the foreclosure is because we told them. My house was worth a lot more then they took it for and now they are trying to sell it for $300,000, now myself and hsbc are shit out of luck.

Wilshire payments should never be sent to the post office box in Atlanta Georgia. This allows them time to post payments late.. They then start adding late fees to your account and they never stop... I have late fees that are over a grand... That is crazy.. I hate the day my loan was sold to them... If they foreclose on my home... They will reap what they sow... Life is too short to be stressed. Look at the current crisis the mortgage business is in now... They better hope they can stay in business instead of ripping people off. Well, Let's see what the end will be. Wilshire Credit Corporation is going down... watch and see!!!!!

Wilshire Credit Corporation has been the worse experience of my life. I've not only lost my home, but the $70,000 I put down on it.

Wilshire Credit Corporation wants your house, they can make more money that way. they told me to contact the original loan company for help knowing they own the loan all the time. they do not want to help

Wilshire is of right now trying to take our home i think all of us should get together and file a class action suit

Wilshire Credit Corporation is the very WORST of mortgage representation. In our state, maybe like other states, should you find yourself unable to make your payment for 2+ months, attorneys who represent Wilshire IMMEDIATELY FILE FORECLOSURE! MANY, MANY, MANY things can cause you to be late in making a payment, BUT, the majority of people who own a home DID NOT GET TO THAT POINT BECAUSE THEY WERE UNABLE TO PAY FOR IT. Loss of job, health or a spouse, may find you in this situation, BUT when you have an attorney who has IMMEDIATELY FILED foreclosure, you incur their fee, plus the fee paid each time the person they hired to drive by your house on a daily basis to insure you haven't vacated on the property (even when you are in touch with the mortgage company telling them you will NOT be moving), and the publication in the newspaper, all of this adds up and when the attorney + any costs are added with what you may be delinquent on, well, it doesn't take a math wiz to figure out you will have to come up with $3,500+ within a 30-45 day deadline. This company DOES NOT CARE. They have their investors. Well, maybe if their investors knew how WILSHIRE (and perhaps the other companies) treated the borrowers, maybe they would expect a hirer standard of employees to represent them. Whether WILSHIRE is impacted by this latest mortgage woe is of no matter. Those of us who have WILSHIRE are $#%&%$. They have already ruined your credit, your payment goes up with low credit scores, you may not owe anyone else money, but I guarantee this company will insure that you have difficulty getting another loan by their reporting. We are on our 3rd forbearance, not because we couldn't pay, but their demand to pay left us with no means to pay other payments (gasoline being the biggest one), utilities, insurance, etc. I have 2 more months of paying $1,500 to them, then my payment will go down to $1K (if they don't raise it again). Before refinancing with them several years ago our housepymt was $500 fixed and we NEVER missed a payment in 15 years. We didn't even get more than we owed. Our refi was stipulated to fixed, but when we found out it wasn't it was too late. Refi on that and we would pay a VERY STIFF penalty. Catastrophic illnesses put us in our situation. My advice would be to NEVER get sick! Don't have an unexpected emergency. Don't die on your spouse! We will NEVER do another forbearance with WILSHIRE - they seem to want our home more than us. We WILL file bankruptcy. They can then have the house, the attorney fees and we'll throw in the cost of utilities for free...

We have a forbearance agreement from Wilshire that has to be signed, notarized and returned. This is the second agreement as I stupidly did not return the first on time. I also sent the payment to Wilshire rather than the attorney. Now Wilshire has kept our payment and issued the second agreement with the same terms. We must have $7000 by Friday, August 17, or the sheriff's sale documents will be enforced.

I have been working with one particular employee at Wilshire Credit Coporation. While very informative she is very difficult to contact. I feel our account is as important as any other. Have been told most urgent take priority. What's ours? It's difficult waiting for days to hear from a creditor. Currently have a forbearance agreement pending that we will be able to meet but at the same time the attorney has sent us a notice of intent to continue with foreclosure and sheriff's sale process. Very cordial and seemingly concerned. At this point we are just waiting it out.

had a problem with them before they wouldn't help but I was able to dig out on my own

starstarstarstarstar by Mark Kimmerling From McKees Rocks, PA on August 09, 2007

I called and spoke to a member of their loan workout department who spent time to explain to me in order to set a repayment plan I needed to supply enough information to show I could actually maintain the home. They even provided me with numbers for credit counseling. Once I turned my finances around I was able to get on an affordable plan and should have my loan up to date in a few months. I think what most do not understand is you either have the money or you do not...if not what do you think a company is going to do? They obviously can not let everyone keep the home for free.

This company bought my mortgage from the original lender within 10 days of my home purchase. They are rude, demanding, and will not work with their customers, regardless of their claim to offer "workout" programs. I hope the subprime mortgage situation currently in the news sinks them. They are one of the worst companies out there - do the research on the internet - there are complaints everywhere about them.

Difficult to work with. Always rude loan officers.

I have finally washed my hands on my house. Sparing the details I was moved to another state, the house never sold I tried many times to work out issues with them; I finally Had and offer on the house that would pay the first mortgage in full and pay Wilshire up to 90% of the loan but they said no. guess they won't get anything now and were called ridiculous for not paying they choose to get nothing...I think I prefer to rent than buy

Wilshire Credit Coporation went up on my monthly payments over $100.00 without notice to me...

Wilshire Credit Coporation took my home right out of our names even thou we are still in redemption period they are snakes hope the attorney general will them

They are the most unpleasant and rude people to deal with. They say they want to help but then change their minds. You cant get a straight answer. I tried to pay them but the sent the money back, it wasn't enough. I want to pay my debt, but that doesn't seem to matter to them. They want the house.

starno starno starno starno star by Michael Johnston From Muskegon, MI on May 15, 2007

Wilshire Credit Coporation says they will work with you and their idea of working with you is their way or no way. Plus they give you one loan officer after another and they give different answers and false hope. One is willing to set up payment plans when the other will say they don't do payment planes.So you are left out in the cold and be hounded every day on your loan.

This company is just out to get your money they will not work with you for a payment plan.
