Explore common Mortgage complaints by state. On average, California, Texas, and Florida have the highest percentage of consumer complaints agains financial companies that offer all products and services.

The most common type of mortgage complaint involves problems consumers face when they are unable to make payments, such as issues relating to loan modifications, collections, or foreclosures. In particular, consumers still complain about delays and ambiguity in the review of their modification applications. Some consumers expressed concerns about the documentation requests they received and argued that they were not provided a reasonable date by which the required documents had to be returned but instead were instructed to return the documents immediately. Other consumers complained that they were not considered for all available loss mitigation options or that the terms of the approved modification were unfavorable (e.g., required interest only payments). Consumers with successfully completed loan modifications have complained that some servicers do not amend derogatory credit reporting accrued by consumers during trial periods although documents provided to the consumers by servicers indicated that they would do so.

Other common types of mortgage complaints address issues related to making payments, including loan servicing, posting of payments, or management of escrow accounts. For example, consumers expressed concerns over difficulties they experience when the servicing of their loan is transferred, including complaints about fees charged by the prior servicer, unexplained escrow deficiencies, issues with the new servicer accepting the previous servicer's modification, and communication between the old and new servicer (especially when loss mitigation efforts are ongoing).

Consumer complaints about mortgage originations tend to involve the lengthy application and approval processes and unauthorized credit inquiries. Consumers also complained about delayed loan denials that occurred just before settlement but were based upon information that was disclosed early in the application process (e.g., bankruptcy, lack of employment history, etc.). They expressed frustration that fees were charged even though they believe the loan originator knew that the loan would not be approved. A number of complaints involved the lender's refusal to honor rate-locks, and concerns that the terms of loans with variable interest rates were not clearly disclosed.
