ripoff
This Company should not be allowed to stay in business, and continue to cheat people out of their money. I lost 375.00 "good faith" upfront deposit to these scammers. I applied for a "refinance" to my existing mortgage for a lower 15 year interest rate than my present one. The 375.00 was an appraisal/application fee which Mr. Brian Pientowski at Quicken Loans said he would "roll over" into the closing costs. The only thing that got rolled over was me! The loan did not go through because the appraisal was lower than anticipated. He did not tell me upfront, that this might happen. (Of course, why would he? I might not apply for the Loan? ) I should have known better. I will be filing a complaint with the NYS Attorney Generals Office. Don Sawyer, Rochester, NY
please do not use quicken loans for any reason
I recently contacted Quicken Loans for a refinance on my current mortgage. I figured they were a reputable company simply because of the amount of advertising they do. After hearing what they could offer me, I agreed to pay the $400 upfront appraisal fee. Originally, Quicken had told me that the interest rate would be locked when I gave them the $400 deposit. Towards the end of drawn out and delayed process, I learned that the rate had gone up .375%.
This is when i started doing research to see if others had similar experiences. I read all of the negative reviews from this website, many of which having to do with my exact situation. At this point, I attempted to get the $400 deposit fee refunded. When it became clear that I would not be refunded this money, I started to look elsewhere.
I then obtained a new mortgage lender on a recommendation from a previous complaint that someone had written regarding Quicken Loans. The company is First Integrity out of Costa Mesa California. Their website is www.firstintegrity.us.
I could not be happier with my decision. First Integrity kept their word, was in contact with me in every phase of the loan transaction, promptly returned my e-mails and phone calls, did not charge any upfront fees, gave me accurate upfront quotes, and reimbursed all of my closing costs as promised. My loan representative was Sam Pabuwal, phone number [protected].
Please do not use Quicken Loans for any reason. If you need more proof, read all of the negative reviews about them on this website.
pulled credit report without permission
I was doing a quick check of current rates, considering a refinance from 5.75%. Without asking for permission, the Quicken Loan agent pulled a credit report. This automatically represents a negative on my credit report. Avoid this company.

Quicken Loans sucks a big one. If I were to even begin to explain my experience that I have had with this lender. A few days away from my closing date, I received a call from Quicken Loans stating that my credit went back down because of something they instructed me to do. This is my first time buying a home and the only thing I was expecting was honest guidance. Hell no, what a bunch of crooks. And please for all the disabled Veterans out there, do not even attempt to use this company. After they are done ruining your credit score so that you can't use any one else they spit you out like flavorless chewing gum. I am now trying to get assistance by a another company, due to the unnecessary mental torment they have caused me. I was in the mist of a mental breakdown.
I just pulled my credit report and quicken loans was on my experian credit report and they claim I asked them to pull my credit and I never spoke to these people before. I have the date and year and I never have. they are known to do this to people
I agree... I just talked to someone from quicken loans and he told me my credit score was 776 or something close to that number. I immediately told him my credit score had been 850, then another bank that I authorized pulled my credit and my score had dropped to 835. I told the man from quicken loans that I did not want my credit pulled again because my credit score had already been impacted and he said "you don't have to worry about that, we already pulled your credit! so then I knew why my score had dropped even further in the 700's. it makes me sooooo mad! we work our butts off trying to protect and maintain our credit and then an unscrupulous mortgage company comes in and blows all of our hard work. I very strongly agree that we need to start a class action lawsuit so these businesses can no longer access our credit scores without our permission. what I can't believe is how long they have already gotten away with doing this to people! it's time to make it right!
Correction:without asking her to do this
They pulled my wifes credit without her permission. She was on the phone simply listening to the call and the man asks her to verify her acct with the last 4 of her social sec# and her did a hard inquiry with even asking her to do this!
I am serious about this. They just did this to us as well and I have read thousands of other people say the same thing so let's start a class action lawsuit against them. They have to be stopped because this is essentially stealing money from us. We DID NOT give these scum bags permission to pull our credit.
Had the same issue. Representative called be cause i explained i was interested in buying a new investment property but that i didn't have a definitive price point, house listing, and i wasn't even sure what state i wanted to buy in. Representative claimed he just wanted to update my personal information so i gave him my DOb and social securtiy only to have him pull my credit and my fiance's credit. My fiance wasn't on the phone nor did i provide her social or date of birth. We are not married so i can't authorize her credit to be pulled. Furthermore, our resolution advocate informed me that legally if you are on the phone with a credit company and the conversation regarding products and services lasts longer than 5 minutes, they can pull your credit so long as you provide a DOB and social security and the company doesn't have to alert you that this information isn't being collected for the purposes of a credit inquiry. Whats more infuriating is that my credit was pulled 4 mins and 47 seconds into the conversation so we hadn't even reached that legal limit for them to so unethically pull credit scores. Lastly a joint application for a mortgage was initiated, but how could that be possible if neither party wanted a credit report pulled and only one was on the phone with the representative at the time it was pulled. Even after the representative that pulled my credit told me he had my credit score, i was shocked and had to ask when he disclosed that he would be doing a hard inquiry. I know i only have 90 days to purchase a home after my credits been pulled. If i didn't even know what state i wanted to buy in, why would a representative pull my credit. I'm still waiting to hear what the higher ups at the executive office are going to do about the situation. Curious how other peoples situations got resolved and if anybody followed up with legal action. I'm considering getting a record of the conversation via subpoena to verify facts.
I had the same exact problem. TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE! They are a bunch of sharks and i'm furious...
I have the same story as everyone else...pulled a report because my husband said they could. Who gave HIM permission?!
Transferred all over and eventually, no one would remove the inquiry. Don’t even call these people
I'm so disappointed with Quicken as I've been a customer with them for a long time. I got a letter in the mail stating I should call in to have my mortgage reviewed. I got their local representative on the phone and explained that I was THINKING about doing a refi on my home. Low and behold, the same day there was a hard hit on my credit that I DID NOT AUTHORIZE. when I called to ask why they ran my credit, he told me he HAD TO run it to get a credit profile on me and claimed that I gave him permission which is COMPLETE BS as we didn't even speak about running my credit. I never talked specifics with them AT ALL.

Read full review of Quicken Loansnot as promised
Early Nov I locked in at 3.875% for a 30 year refinance. House appraised good, my credit is excellent. I am a beneficiary of a Trust so I have to write off losses that the Trust incurs on a schedule K for trusts and estates on my taxes. They kept delaying me saying that seemed fishy. It was if they didn't even know what a trust was. So 3 months go by, now interest rates have gone up almost a full %. They call and say congrats we're ready to move ahead, but of course now they are offering 4.625% with 3.2 points and some outragious closing costs that didn't even make sense. So I bailed. Of course losing the $500 also. So either they didn't understand what a Trust is, which would make them grossly incompetent, or they didn't want to honor the original interest quote since rates were raising rapidly. Take your pick, incompetance or dishonesty. I Dunno, but I recommend you stay far away from Quicken Loans. Oh, and they're not even quick.

false report
Dear Thomas Ciarrocchi,
We received your letter of January 4, 2011, in which you indicated that you were unable to offer us the loan to re-finance our primary residence home. Your letter stated “low-appraised value” as the reason for declining our loan request. I am writing to set the record straight regarding that loan.
Firstly, the loan WAS approved by Quicken Loans, and we had reached the point of meeting with the Notary Public in our home to sign escrow papers. (See the attached approval/escrow letter.) For you to state that the loan was not approved (for any reason) is untruthful and unethical. Perhaps somebody needed to be able to report to his/her seniors that the appraisal came in too low to warrant that loan in order to cover Quicken Loans’ missteps. But, no matter how you try to alter the truth, the fact of the matter remains that the loan was, indeed, fully funded and approved.
Secondly, we had to reject the escrow terms, as they were drawn, because they contained negligent and inattentive errors on the part of Quicken Loans people. When those were corrected, and the loan again fully offered to us, I began to review the entire sequence of events—from that first date in October when I contacted Quicken Loans to inquire about the terms offered in a marketing mailer, to the date in late December, when the escrow package (containing stale-dated payoff and loan amounts) arrived at our home just an hour before the Notary Public arrived.
I recalled the long, slow process taken by Quicken Loans on a transaction that was a very clean application from homeowners who demonstrated and verified:
• excellent credit
• significant equity
• documented W-2 income
• healthy checking and savings account balances, and
• a low income-to-debt ratio.
When an inordinate amount of time had passed before I heard from Quicken Loans, I called you in early December to determine the status of the loan process. I received “explanations, ” rationalizations, the citing of medical problems among the staff and busy workloads to justify the slow service. And this was for a very “clean” loan application!
I came to the realization that Quicken Loans was not the company with which I would choose to do business in the area of home mortgages, and I am going to ensure that this data is also received by the executives of the company and by the three major credit reporting agencies who may have information in our profile.
This written complaint and exposure of Quicken Loans’ unethical practices would not have occurred if we hadn’t just received your untruthful letter stating that our loan was disapproved by Quicken Loans due to “low appraised value.” We reject that indication, and we will expect a letter of apology and a truthful statement communicating:
a) that we did, indeed qualify for the loan,
b) that we were approved for the loan,
c) that we were the ones who stopped the process, (not Quicken Loans) and
d) retracting the “low appraisal” statement as a false report.
Your request to be considered for future home financing needs will be based upon your handling of this matter.
Sincerely,
RG

did not disclosed money needed at closing
QUICKEN LOANS is a ripoff, did not disclose money needed at closing. denied first loan then second loan was a nightmare with constant documentation and even wanted my mother in laws bank account statement because she gave us 5000 dollars for other reasons.then told me i needed 5000 dollars for closing when first told closing cost would be included, gave me a run around about the appraisal not being high enough and that my second mortgage lender GREENTREE governed how much money that they[QUICKEN LOANS] could lend me and we were short the 5000 dollars, pretty coincidental the amt was 5000 dallars. lost my 500 dollars as well.

untrustworthy loan team
I contacted Quicken Loans (Josh Martens) for a home re-fi loan. There's a $500 deposit that is non-refundable that I made based on the loan rate Josh told me I could get after checking my credit and collecting income and home value data. I proceeded to have the loan initiated and when the first set of paperwork arrived I discovered that the loan processor (Josh) overstated the value of my home from what I'd told him by $90, 000. I was told by Josh and a subsequent banker that called to validate the info that it wasn't a problem. I was clear that I wanted a conservative estimate on the value of the home so there were no surprises. Before an appraisal was completed or providing any other information on the home, the loan processor told me the paperwork had been revised and the original loan I was offered wasn't available based on changing the value of my home from HIS overestimate by $90, 000. I reviewed the subsequent/modified paperwork, found enough discrepencies to make me concerned, and ultimately determined that I didn't trust Quicken Loans enough to proceed. I feel very scammed by this company. Despite THEIR error in the paperwork, I am told it's MY problem and there will not be a reimbursement of the $500. Can't even tell you how annoyed and disappointed in this company I am. Going to put a lot of effort into letting folks know about my experience so they don't get $500 from the next person where they "accidentally" alter the figures on their paperwork.
The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer’s satisfaction.
I just wanted to state that I just closed on my home loan with Quicken Loans and actually used this same banker, Josh Martens. He did an exceptional job, along with the others I dealt with. I am only commenting on this due to I almost didn't use Quicken Loans because of this comment due to I had no previous history with them. Please know that they did a professional job, and Josh did an outstanding job. They actually OVER communicated with me ever step of the way and I never had a question. If I did it was answered within minutes usually if not within the day. Great job again! Jennifer (Forsyth, Georgia).
Hi - my name is Kelly from Quicken Loans. I'd like to provide some context to this story.
While there was an initial mistake in our recording of the estimated value, the banker immediately corrected it and we provided updated paperwork, which was signed by the client. We absolutely still had a loan that made sense for this client, it was fully explained, and the client agreed.
A few days later, the client refused the loan. Per our deposit policy, since the client had agreed to the updated terms, the deposit was not refunded. The client signed a document agreeing to that policy. It can also be found on our website for anyone to see: http://www.quickenloans.com/about/quicken-loans-deposit
If there are any questions about this loan or any others, please feel free to contact me directly: kelly@quickenloans.com
I hard time believing the story above is accurate. If you have ever worked with QL before, you know that they always over communicate and like the previous posts say, you get a document in your application that asks you to verify the value. Also, QL has their deposit policy right on their website. The $500 deposit is always refunded minus the cost of the appraisal and credit report. There is no such thing as a non-refundable deposit. I have worked with Josh on many loans and never had any issues at all. QL and Josh have always gone to battle for me to get my loans closed.
My family and I have refinanced with Quicken many times. Not once has this ever been an issue for any of us. In all the documents that I have received in preparation to do a loan I am not sure why you would sign the documents if it wasn't correct to begin with. In my 3 mortgages that I have refinanced with Quicken never have I felt this way.
I have done several loans with Quicken and they prevent this. They send documents to me before the loan is even started that requires me to sign off on what I believe my home is valued at. Unfortunately with the current housing market, homes are valued a lot less than what we bought them for.
refi - home loan
Don't Use Quicken Loans! you can save money and time going else where.
I call them about refi my house and talked to a Berton(Burt) McLain, Executive Mortgage Banker with Quicken Loans
I had 3 things i wanted to do, Take my wife off the title, do a streamline FHA refi, and lower my monthly payment
My credit is great, i have a little cash to refi with, Burt assure me it would not be a problem, then he sai i did not have an FHA loan. (WRONG!)
Burt told me to get my wife off the title would not be a problem (WRONG)
Burt also told me i would say 180 a month and only have to bring $480 to close. (Wrong)
it became apprarent that this guy had no clue of what he was doing.
they made me jump though hoops trying to get this stupid loan and i could never call and talk to Burt directly, i ended up talking to his boss Adam, but Adam did seem to care but never did anything.
Latter he told me i would have to pay and extra $40 a month for only 10 months, i check and recheck with him and asked for proof on this with an amerazation
I really could go on and on with tons of details about this messed up process but i will not, just understand that i have done other refi in the past with my rental house and the purchase of this house and have never been screewed around with so much. Never use Quicken loans, they suck.
Disaster
About three years ago my husband was injured in a bizarre accident that left him disabled. Our home had just been paid off completely & we should have been relaxing, but instead we had to remortgage the house so that credit cards could be paid off & we could create a cushion until disability kicked in. The worst thing was having a new mortgage payment at a rate of 12.99%.
In September of 2010, with interest rates dropping to drastic levels, I decided to try to get our interest rate lowered. First of all there is no such thing as a free estimate – Quicken Loans would not talk to me until "earnest money" was paid. For me that amounted to $500.00 that I honestly did not have unless I put it on a credit card. So much for trying to live CASH ONLY.
Then I found out that in Texas it is a law that a home must be appraised every time an owner wants to refinance. It does not matter that the home was appraised just a little over a year before - it must be appraised again. I don't know if that is true or not, but I wanted to comply with everything Quicken asked. The owners (or in this case, my husband & I) are at the mercy of the appraiser. When the appraiser came to our home, I was in the middle of trying to reorganize boxes of collectibles and books) that I had inherited. Also, my son was leaving all of his possessions as he prepared to relocate to Ireland where he will get his Master's degree. To say the least, it was not a good day for an appraisal, but I wanted to get the ball rolling.
The appraiser indicated on his report that "flooring had to be replaced", the stairs had to be carpeted, the master bedroom needed new carpet, and the most insane thing of all - a gas meter had to be installed. Although I explained to the appraiser that we lived in an all-electric home (electric water heater and oven for cooking, Amish portable heaters for winter warmth, etc.) Quicken Loans made it mandatory that not only did we have to re-carpet our home, but we had to also order a gas meter to be installed. This was because at one time we had had a gas furnace for heat. Even though we had not used the furnace for the last five years, the appraiser insisted to Quicken that before any refinancing was discussed, all improvements must be made., including ordering a gas meter at our expense.
My husband & I were struggling with the large mortgage as a result of the high interest; hence, the inquiry into lowering the interest rate. We had no money for the improvements that Quicken Loans insisted we make. All work had to be done by my disabled husband & myself and it had to be done at our own speed since we could not afford to hire anyone. In order to keep from running up our credit cards again, we paid cash for everything...and that caused certain bills to go unpaid. My husband and I complied with everything Quicken Loans required, including all the cosmetic improvements and a deposit on a gas meter that was completely unnecessary. Every day Quicken would call to question when the improvements would be finished because we could close “shortly” after that. When I would try to explain that we had no money and my husband was legally disabled, I was continually told that time was ticking and the interest rate was only locked in for a very short time. No one would listen to anything I said!
Long story short, improvements were made because we were told they had to be made, my credit rating fell because I only had enough money for the required carpet, deposit on the gas meter, etc., causing me to fall behind on bill payments. Then after the improvements were satisfactorily approved by the appraiser, the Client Care Specialist (Quicken Loans) assured me we would be “closing soon”, so I did not pay my mortgage and Quicken Loans denied us after all because my credit rating dropped. Now I have lost my home by being behind on the original over-inflated mortgage.
I did a second mortgage in March of 2006 with Quicken Loans. I told the appraiser that I did not want one of my 2 acre lots on the mortgage. I told them there was enough equity with my home and the 4 acres that the house sits on. I sold the lot that I asked them not to place a lein on. Sure enough the 2 acres had a lein placed on it with out my knowledge. This was discovered 9 weeks ago and I still have not received a partial release of the land. I would not recommend Quicken Loans to anyone. It was stated on the URAR that the lot in question was not be included on the 2nd mortgage. I am going to contact my lawyer to try and get the release. It is a shame that this is the way that Quicken treats there customers.
I started the loan process in December of 2011, they denied my loan at the end of June. When we started out I was told I could get 10k more than what I owed on my current mortgage. They dragged their feet for months. I dealt with several different people who never talked to each other so I had to email the same paperwork to several people and then upload it onto their site. Every time I contacted them they needed something new.
When the appraiser was sent to my house I was told I needed new carpet. Now not only can I not make my current mortgage payment but now I owe 4k for carpet. They lied to me several times and left out a lot of information. At one point I was told I needed $1300 in assets and didn’t have it. I then came up with the money and was told it was “suspicious” and they wouldn’t accepted it. They then went on to tell me what I was and wasn’t capable of doing.
I’ve never been late on a payment in my life and now I’m 2 months behind. I was then told that we would close at the end of the first week in May so I didn’t make my May payment, my mistake. They continued to drag their feet and then my payment was late and my credit score dropped big time. My current mortgage is in default and I will be losing my home soon.
Now I can’t refinance my home with anyone, I can’t make my mortgage payments, and thanks to Quicken Loans there will be another homeless veteran.
rude customer service
Rude customer service charged to much for closing costs.
When I called CS they could not lift a finger regarding my questions
on my current loan. I got an excellent rate, but paid for it big time with closing cost. The customer service is awful when i called about my margin and what index my payment would be adjusting too. they are rude
They are money hungery people charging all these fees.
They quoted my a 6-month index adjustment and when I received the paper work it ended up being the 1-year which will cost me more money in the long run. When i called back about it this man Will said there was nothing he could do about it.
didn't provide enough info on appraisal
We recently contacted Quicken Loans about refinancing a mortgate held by a company that does not do refinancing. They simply own the mortgage and partner through Quicken for refinancing needs such as ours. Our options for attempting a refinance were limited to Quicken because the house has lost value, and only your current lender is required to attempt refinance in these cases. I had read the reports on Quicken, but had no choice if we wanted to attempt refinance.
I expressed my concern about the up front cost for the appraisal and whether it would return a value that would allow us to proceed based on a market report I'd recently received through my real estate agent that was based only on recent sales of 2 bedroom/1 bath houses. I provided the value from that market report to the Quicken loan processor along with information on a recent sale of a similar home next door with similar square footage, but a 3 bedroom/2 bath configuration. I was encouraged to go forward with the appraisal.
I was not told the appraisal would be limited to recent sales of 2 bedroom/1 bath houses regardless of square footage. The comparables were less than 1, 000 square feet in two cases, and our house is almost 1, 600 square feet. The only comparable close in square footage was a condo.
Had I known the appraisal would be conducted as it was, rather than as our purchase appraisal was done (homes of similar square footage regardless of configuration), I would not have proceeded and not have lost the appraisal fee.
scams
I know a few people that work for quicken loans and one of them I know pretty well, they brag about scamming and ripping people off, the drug use that goes on, and their" at work relationships" they even told me how they have training to scam people, I honestly feel this place should be investigated by the feds, and put out of business, they don't hire experienced people so they can train new hires their way, one person that works for them started off doing mortgages but just couldn't do it "their way" so they sent that person to a sister company that doesn't deal with mortgages, I really hope the feds step in and shut them down for good!
The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer’s satisfaction.
the real story of quicken
I am a former employee of Quicken Loans/One Reverse Mortgage. I assure you that I am of the highest ethical character, and that when I was hired, I sincerely believed that I had landed a solid, reputable career with a distinguished company. Turns out, I was among 200 people in my hiring class who thought the same thing. You see, QL hires approximately 200 people each month. 90% are, like me, recent college graduates looking for our first post-college jobs. Throughout the initial orientation which lasts two months, we are fed a steady supply of popcorn, slushies, and other "hip" foods, persistently told that we are the brightest and best in the Metro Area (the headquarters is in downtown Detroit), and that we all will soon be making $100k annually as soon as we prove ourselves. After training, much of which is mandated by the recent passage of the federal SAFE Act and it's licensing requirements, we are put on the sales floor. At that point, all the things we learned in SAFE training becomes completely irrelevant... because we aren't mortgage loan originators, rather, we are telemarketers and our sole purpose is too remain constantly dialing the phone, speaking to anyone who put a phone number anywhere online, and convince them to take a deposit. NO BODY YOU SPEAK WITH AT QL IS A MORTGAGE EXPERT. They are all young, brand new kids who are being monitored incessantly by supervisors. They have a quota of sales calls that must be met daily. Their job is not to "work with" clients on finding a suitable mortgage product based on client needs, but to as quickly as possible sign clients up to the most lucrative deal possible. I lasted five months: Two months in training, two months as a cold-calling telemarketer for Reverse Mortgages, and one month as a full "mortgage banker". Then I quit. A huge majority of the 200 people I hired on with will not be there one year later. The pay is NOT $100k, the work is not intellectually challenging (we are, after all, college grads), and by no means should any of those sales reps be considered mortgage experts. They are not. I was not. I have a hunch that QL's business model requires hiring college kids who are bright enough to pass the licensing requirements, then put in automated sales roles designed to reach as many potential clients as possible (bulk matters). We are promised the moon and the stars and continuously told how great we are. We get very pumped up (almost cult-like). We dial the phones from 8am until 8pm, 6 days per week, DESPERATE to get clients enrolled in refi, purchase, or reverse mortgages. We get $9 per hour to do this. After 6 months to a year, everyone is broke, exhausted, and finally quit. But QL doesn't mind, they have hundreds more in the pipe going through the various stages of training ready to fill the void at any moment.
Thanks for all that said about this company.. I am so Happy I never went so far to listen to them about a loan. I was interested in knowing why they seemed so proactive to get me in there for a loan.. I read why now..
Thanks for saving me the hard ache..
I have worked there for years and yes, I went through the hype, the low pay in the beginning and yes, the mental exhaustion. But a few years into my career I make a lot more than an average salary. I get a kick out of these college grads who get shocked to find out you have to bust your ### to be above average. This place has offered so much to me and my family these kind of reviews really bug me. At no time during the recruiting or hiring process are people led to believe they can make $100k without sacrifice and hard work, especially your first year or so.
Thank you so much for saving me from yet another disappointing hype job by a company that builds it's foundation on scamming honest hard working people out of their money. I'll add it to the list of North American Bankard, Comcast, Hansen Windows and the like. Everything you said, the 8 weeks training, the internet and sales calls, the atmosphere, and mentoring was all discussed with me about the job when Amanda H. the Recruiter called me this week about the position. You saved me another headache, and I can't thank you enough! Best wishes to you in your future endeavors I hope you find a deserving company to work for, one with integrity and morals.
lack of information leading to unnecessary fees
I filled out an online request in October to refinance my townhouse in Missouri . I got a great response in the beginning...then weeks turned into a month...called to find out the girl handling my account "moved on". A new person took over, set me up for VA loan, sent an appraiser out for a look...found out (now 3 months later) that my home is actually a "condo" and VA does not loan to "condo's" anymore...would have been nice to know this before I spent $400. Don't expect them to be professional either, the use of their personal cell phone allows them to act like a**holes since there is no recording "for quality assurance"! BE AWARE>>>

$500 deposit and the kelly game
This company took a $500 deposit on an overextended credit limit, knowing that I needed to make this loan work or I would sink fast in the treacherous financial market exacerbated by Quicken Loans policies. The credit card owner Citicorp refused to take back the deposit and this too has stung me! I was thrown into a debt cycle that I still am trying to negotiate, and if I received a fair and honest loan, I would have been out of this problem at this time. This happened in 2009, and I did not have any fees since I withdrew my contract within 24 hours, since what was said and what was offered did not add up. Unfortunately I did not check this site, or know it existed, and instead chose to look at the BBB rating which is skewed towards business rather than the public.
Now there is a full-time bimbo named Kelly that is responding to people shafted by the unethical policies of this company. The representative Kelly pretty much writes from a script, which I imagine with a lot of time, and hard work, one can become quite efficient. The people one deals with at Quicken Loans will record your conversation/order, which tells you right away about their product since this is a huge red flag that tells people who purchase this product they may not be happy at all, and Quicken needs to refer back to the old adage that we have your voice confirmation on tape ploy. I know since they did it to me. They also conveniently lost the recording when it came time to review documents to consider a return of my deposit. They now have a new set of policies in place. They will try and get you to keep the product by telling you of all the benefits, extending your paper process period etc. but you will not get back your deposit. If anyone is really considering keeping this gem of a loan, if they call customer service and are firm in their desire to have the loan product, Quicken will be using their inspector to negotiate the cost of your house down to almost nothing. This is a NO WIN situation for the financially strapped customer and a windfall for Quicken Loans.
Go ahead and give Kelly a call, or send a message, and ask for a return authorization for your deposit. They will try and get you to keep the product by telling you of all the benefits, extending your paper process period etc. but you will not get back your deposit. If you are really considering keeping this gem of a loan, go ahead and call customer service, and chances are that by being firm in your desire to have the loan product, they will first negotiate the cost of your house down to almost nothing. This is always a customer LOOSE/Quicken WIN situation. This is hardly a business that should brag about having a BBB rating of A+ that they bought by financially supporting this local bureau.
The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer’s satisfaction.
BBB ratings are another scam and should be avoided at all costs. I've been burned by them before. All companies have to do is pay their annual $450 fee and the have virtually bought an A+ rating.
misleading information for loan refiancing
Quicken Loans is the cattle call of home refinancing. They make you give them a deposit and sign a deposit agreement and promise you will get the deposit back. When you question the numbers on the loan documents they reassure you that everything will be "fine. I refinanced many times in the past and was never misled by any of them, so I assumed this loan agent, Jason Dubois was telling me valid information. Well it was all a scam. My house appraisal didn't come in high enough and I didn't have $10, 000 to pay down my loan so I didn't get the loan. However, since I signed the deposit agreement I was out the $500. The loan agents can say whatever they want to get you to give them credit card numbers and to sign loan documents, but are not held accountable for what they say. Would not recommend using this company for ANYTHING!
Though canned this information may be useful to you if you wish to make your complaint known. The more that complain the greater the chance something may be done. The FTC should be your #1 contact!

deposit scam
Here is the story of how my present crisis has been created by the companies that are supposed to make a profit, yet also are supposed to help the people they serve.
I first saw a site that states: “Obama Urges Refinance Now, $180, 000 Refinance under $999/mo. See Rates – No Credit Check Required, on www.CalculateNew Payment.com. “
One enters the site and am confronted with the headline “US Treasury Bailout of Fannie and Freddy, Refinance with More Confidence, and there is a calculate new payment requirement using CalculateNewPayment.com. “
The person entering the site then fills out a series of forms that contain personal information including our social security numbers.
I was then contacted by the representative Abbey Wrysch, whose title is Executive Mortgage Banker-President's Club, for Quicken Loans. She was my first contact.
(An ironic side note, Quicken Loans Refinance is the second advertiser listed on:
http://www.consumeraffairs.com/finance/quicken_loans_mortgage.html
A site for consumer complaints about Quicken loans!)
After quite a few discussion online and on the telephone, with a sense of emergency Abbey Wrysch pushed for me to go online and electronically sign a couple of forms. Here is an out -take in Abbey Wrysch’s own words: “I can't provide a good faith estimate until I accept your application. Once I receive your application I will have an approval including a full set of loan documents within an hour. Let me know when you are ready...” In this way I could lock in the lowest interest on record. I should have known that signing papers before on receives a good faith estimate is a red light! Only this is new to me and I was, and am, desperate.
Not knowing anything about how refinancing worked I followed her instructions thinking that she was representing me. She led me to the page and guided me to the place where to click to electronically sign the forms. This was all in a rush so that they could “lock in” a great new rate. I was told that the fees would be no more than about $3500 for ALL fees (in her words: “The closing costs based off of county specifics are $3429.00. This is a high side estimate.”), that I would be able to pay off all my credit card debt (one of the reason for applying), and that I would be given a “cash out” amount of $25, 000. The credit card debt was NOT to be a part of the cash out but in addition to this amount.
After I rushed to sign the paperwork and gave Abbey my credit card information, I mentioned I have no idea if the CITIBANK would honor the card since (like with all my cards) I am maxed out. She then took the number for the $500 deposit and I foolishly signed the papers. During one conversation I reminded her of the reasons that I am trying to establish the loan is in order to pay of credit debt – something in which I still struggle. Then when a real estate friend of mine looked at the papers he said what she promised is not in the Good Faith Agreement that I signed. Abbey Wrysch kept pointing out that I would put in my pocket about $900 a month. My friend said her words and the figures do not add up. He said “I wish I had come to help you before now. This is outrageous since it is $7500 more expensive and there is NO cash out.”
The fact of the matter is I was scammed out of $500 that I could ill afford to pay, and even though they agreed to close the loan and offered no service, they ran a $500 “deposit” through my credit card and took payment. On the Good Faith Estimate I signed, which was not the estimate placed in my file, it was marked that there was ZERO amount required for the deposit. On the document I signed the deposit of $0 was changed to $500 after signing. These are the documents I now have in my file.
Here are the words I used in my correspondence to Abbey Wrysch sent: Sat May 02 01:03:35 2009: “Thank you for waving the deposit.” I do not have a copy of the original set of documents I signed, instead I have a set that has been altered, and without this evidence – what I must do is eat the truth. This message was the one when I set out the discrepancies.
Here is her message to me:
“Bruce,
I have requested your loan be denied out of my system. It's too bad that you don't see the benefit in this loan. You will recoup your loan fees in 8 months time. Most people it takes 36 months to recoup the fees. This loan will save you thousands and thousands of dollars. Good luck to you. I'm sorry you didn't work out.

Yes – she was complicit in “credit fairy” tactics!
This is a predatory lender -
Though Abbey Wrysch knew my fragile financial position, she (or the company she is a part of) took my deposit for $500, and left me worse off than when I first contacted them. I had intended in good faith to honor the commitment, yet they worked in bad faith and did not give me the truth, since the words and paperwork did not match. When I look at the complaints about Quicken Loans, this issue is consistent and persistent in their operation, they seem to be in the business of collecting deposits more than providing service or loans. Read more consumer complaints about Quicken Loans: http://www.consumeraffairs.com/finance/quicken_loans_mortgage.html#ixzz0H6IvjWNP&A. Then check [redacted]s.
This leads to the next problem with CITIBANK, and their CITICARD policies. Citibank has a system that makes its most profits on poor people, like in this situation, where when I tried to stop Quicken from taking my deposit by informing CITIBANK that I do not want them to honor this deposit, they went ahead and did it anyway.
NONE OF THIS IS WHAT PRESIDENT OBAMA HAD IN MIND WHEN HE STARTED HELPING THE AMERICAN PEOPLE DISENGAGE THEMSELVES FROM PREDATORY PRACTICES IN THE FINANCIAL AND MORTGAGE REFINANCE INDUSTRY!
Why is a company like Quicken Loans allowed to defraud the public as they did me? They are in the business to take a deposits and are not good faith lenders as they pretend. I have lost $500 due to their bad faith practices. Here is my letter to them:
According to our conversation and email on April 24th 2009 you led me to believe that my total settlement cost would be about $3500 (actually $3364.45) at closing. In addition to paying all my debt (which is about $62, 000) you also told me there would be an additional $25, 000 for personal use, which is not reflected on the Good Faith Estimate document. You failed to disclose the loan rate prior to your added discount points.
I find your communications very different than your documents. Your Good Faith Estimate does not reflect the $25, 000 for personal use we discussed, but includes an extra $7500 Loan Discount Fee, which you did not tell me in advance. You told me that the loan would give me the additional $25, 000 for personal use. It does not add up. I have signed these documents in error and wish to withdraw immediately all obligations and affiliations with you and/or your company at this time. I believe we can work this out between ourselves without my requesting legal representation.
My directive is that you (and your company) release in writing of all paperwork related to this loan. I have referred you to several of my friends and now I am embarrassed to reveal my findings. One of which is to my boss.
And after this was sent and they stopped the process, they took my money by charging my credit card account - after the fact. Please look at the consumer complaints online about this systemic practice.
This company is a part of the real EVIL EMPIRE!
People need to be protected from fraud.
The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer’s satisfaction.
lying & arrogant weasels
Quicken Loans was the nicest company around. I was told that our closing costs were less than $3000. So I gave them $500 for an appraisal. Then, they had our appraisal done and it was clearly low balled. They brought in an appraiser from 90 miles outside our city. He had the square footage of our house wrong. He had the year it was built wrong. Therefore the entire appraisal was worthless. Quicken Loans didn't care. My assigned customer service guy started arguing with me about how no one else could ever do what they do at their price. Then he stated that he had locked the loan with FHA and we could not go anywhere else. The problem with this was that this was a lie. I was also working with a local bank and they locked the FHA loan before Quicken did. I got an email confirmation from my back with the FHA information. So Quicken was not only strong arming me with bad data, but they were lying. Once I told Quicken that I wanted my appraisal money back he stated, "I am not going to argue with you, I am canceling your loan." and then he hung up on me. Call me crazy but I think I have a right to know what is going on, not to be strong armed, and not to be lied to. I felt like they were ramming me through their system so that he could get his commission and that was all that he cared about. What a jerk.
