We are experiencing a very difficult time with the Stearns Lending LLC based out of -, VA. Stearns Lending ignores customer requests. They do NOT provide written confirmations or guarantees of service requests. ( Such as reversing their errors. ) If there is a late fee, they will continually apply late fee payments to the principle and will never mark an account as up to date. So your normal mortgage payments are seen by them as being underpaid. They will hold your payments and NOT apply them for a whole month and then take next month 's payment and pay off last month and say that the CURRENT month is now late. If you get a late payment, they set up a scheme to NEVER stop charging you late fees.


date and all late fees paid and be good with our normal payments '' They gave us the wrong amount over the phone. ( Requests for written information were always denied. ) In -/-/- after we made our 'good faith ' payment. Stearns mailed out our statements late for -/-/-. So we 'according to Stearns ' were still in arrears due to their late payments. Even though we promptly paid the amount they told us to. Since then ( -/-/- ) it has been a constant cat and mouse game with Stearns, trying to get them to remove late fees and apply our payments properly. I believe they do these practices on purpose in the hopes we 'll just bend over and pay all their false fees. We make written inquiries via their website contact form and inquiries take forever to be acknowledged. They stall more by saying repeat inquiries will only delay the process. Do NOT use STEARNS LENDING for your mortgage.
