FRAUD
I've been trying to resolve my issue with AHL for a year now. All they do is give the run around. You never speak with the same person. Back in February I contacted HUD to assist me. To their dismay AHL gave them the run around also. Finally my REAL Lender contacted me through my HUD Representative. Come to find out AHL never put in their records the contact number of either myself nor my HUD representative. Long story short, AHL is acting as the Lender (which they are NOT). They will do all they can to get you out of your home and not tell the truth to your actual lender. Recently the US Treasury Dept agreed to give AHL 7oo milllion dollars to assist those who needed it. However, because AHL has chosen not assist those in need, the government has pulled back the amount to 400 million.
Please everyone reading this, contact your State Attorney Generals Office and file a complaint. Then call the U.S. Treasury Dept to file a complaint as well. People are loosing their homes needlessly!!!

Class Action Info RE; Auror
Hello Everyone: Found this and cut/paste here for you all to use. PLEASE DO!!! ASAP!!!
Without getting into the details of how Aurora Loan Services is using Predatory Lending tactics with numerous items that is a direct violation of the Truth in Lending Act *and* the Fair Credit Act. I have read through all 54 postings here and there is a common theme... class action lawsuit. Well I've spent the entire day trying to do as such. For this to take place the FTC told me to have everyone I've spoken with or read complaints from about Aurora Loan Services to contact them. Not only that, they advised me to contact the U.S. District Attorney's office, at which I did. Below are phone numbers for such, but in the event that the phone numbers get's bleeped out, you can do a search on the net for each.

The FTC also told me to have all interested parties print off a copy of the Truth in Lending Act as on their consumer/credit/rates page.
Please, we all have to pool together our efforts to stop these people. The FTC assured me that once enough complaints have been registered a class action lawsuit WILL be filed. Let's not let Aurora Lending Services (aka Lehman Brothers) get away with this!!!

Terrible everything
Our mortgage was sold to Aurora Home Loans several years ago. Until our financial situation changed drastically we never had any issues or reasons to contact Aurora. However, since we have experienced loss of income, medical issues, college tuition assistance for youngest son and husband's company's biggest client filing bankruptcy, we decided to contact Aurora for help with refinancing or a loan modification program. For the most part the employees I have dealt with have been civil but they do have a person named Mike who is insufferable, insulting and confrontational. I have told him I will NOT have a conversation with him again. One thing we have experienced with Aurora that I do think is a big ripoff is this so called investors fee. In November of 2008 I called our mortgage payment in and the girl who was supposed to handle it...didn't. They call us in December claiming we were 30 days past due. Until that time I didn't know what had happened. This Mike person proceeds to scream and yell and deny the girl did anything wrong. I told him play the recording back. I knew differently. They finally fixed it and Aurora sent us a letter saying they would correct the credit information they had previously sent to the credit bureaus. One of their many 'scams' is supposedly the investor, according to them, believes our account to be in jeopardy so he makes a cursory inspection of our house and charges us. Are you kidding me? Our account as of this date is not past due and Aurora is not on the list of approved mortgage companies for Hope. The fact that we all have mortgages with a company who is not Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac backed instead by investors, who by the way had their hand out with the government, makes it problematical because they do not have to do as President Obama has dictated. We are trying to get out of a mortgage with Aurora so we contacted LendingTree.com. They are nice and helpful but all we got from them was a referral to US Mortgage. The guy who called from there is only interested in convincing us to use this law firm to represent us with Aurora on a loan modification. Most of these predators are after the buck...that is it. Aurora did tell us not to bother with them because they could not do anything we couldn't do. I believe that and we don't have the money to do it anyway. We were told the process of loan modification takes up to 60 days on a first come, first serve basis. It is pretty sad when you have to be behind on your mortgage to get a break. We aren't yet but we could be if something catastrophic happens. I will join any and everyone in taking this company to task.

Fradulent Loan Practices
Last March, I fell behind a payment because of unforseen major home repairs (first one whole wall of electricity shorted out...had to hire an electrician. Then, my furnace died and I had to by a new furnace. Can't be in Michigan without heat)! I dutifully called my mortgage company and made payment arrangements with them which I have kept up for months. I then applied for a loan modification to get my payments current and interest rate lowered.
Well, I have been trying to get my loan modified through Aurora Loan Services since September with no luck. They have been running me around in circles. The first time I submitted my financials they said I didn't make enough money and I needed to have a 20% cushion or money left over. They told me to resubmit my financial statement. I resubmitted this time putting the minimum payment due on my credit cards (the previous financial statement listed what I normally pay which is more than the minimum). About a month later the underwriter, Elizabeth, said too me, "Are these your current financials?" I replied, "yes." She said, "well if their correct then we don't need to be talking because you make too much money." I told her that the Home Retention Department said I needed to have a 20% cushion." She said, "we only tell people that. It's not exactly true, please re-submit your financial statement again. I did as she asked and then she stopped returning my calls.
I spoke to her a month later and she said, "Oh just make one more payment on your payment plan and then we will modify your loan. However, she wouldn't discuss terms. Another month passed and she wasn't returning calls. Finally, I spoke to her and she said I didn't qualify for a loan modification and I couldn't afford my home. When I asked based on what? She would not discuss it. I asked her what I was supposed to do and she replied, "keep paying the higher payment on your payment arrangement."
Two days later I got a letter in the mail saying that the loan modification would be denied if I did not produce an updated financial statement and a sales contract (I don't know what this is). I have faxed the financial statement twice. I have called 10 times and I've heard nothing and she will not return my calls.

Beware!
I have read other complaints and I am in the same position as most of you. I too have been trying to work with Aurora to no avail. They have left me with no choice. I am now looking to file a class action suit against Aurora. As consumers we have to stick together and not let things like this happen with out fighting back (with our minds of course).

Fraud and scam
Yesterday, I finally found out that Homecomings Financial owns my Aurora Loan Services 1st Mortgage. Originally, Homecomings held both my 1st and 2nd loans. Then last summer they 'sold' the 1st to Aurora Loans, or so they said.
In August '08, when I realized I needed some kind of loan modification or I could lose my house, I called Aurora Loans for help with the 1st mortgage. They told me that since both loans were no longer with the same company, they could not help me with any type of loan modification.
Next, when I called Homecomings Financial to see could be done about the 2nd, Homecomings handed me the same line. Because they only owned one of my mortgage loans, they were unable to help with any loan modifications.
In the Fall of ‘08 I had to resort to a Short Sale, but even then Aurora refused to talk with our Realtor, and would not consider any offers or dealings whatsoever that involved a short sale.
On Jan. 8, 2009, Homecomings (the company we thought was holding only the 2nd mortgage) began foreclosure proceedings. I received the Notice of Default, dated Jan. 8, 08. Still trying to figure out why Homecomings listed my mortgage on the Notice of Default as $750, 000 instead of the $150, 000 I owe Homecomings for the 2nd, I decided to contact Aurora Loan Services to ask them who really owns my first mortgage.
I called Aurora Loan Services yesterday (Feb. 18, 09), and their rep said she could not disclose the name of my lender because my lender is a private investor. She did offer that the loan is not with Fanny Mae or Freddie Mac.
Finally, I pulled out my records and double-checked my Deed of Trust. As it turns out, apparently I was never issued a new deed last summer when Aurora supposedly bought my loan. So, I called the Los Angeles County Clerk's office, only to find out THAT HOMECOMINGS HAS BEEN THE LENDER FOR BOTH LOANS ALL ALONG!
Both companies lied to me in saying that “two separate companies" owned the loans, they misrepresented themselves with monthly statements that had no indication that these two companies were connected in any way, they refused to talk with me or my Realtor when we tried to do a legitimate short-sale, and they still refuse to disclose that Homecomings owns both the 1st and the 2nd mortgages.
How can we find out of anyone is planning a class action suit against either of these two companies? I will be calling the FTC today to register a formal complaint about these rapscallions.

Scam and cheating
ALS Services has us running around in circles as well!!! I can't believe all of the people out there who have been or are going through the same stuff we are!!
We first contacted them back in July 08 because my husbands' job changed, and went from a steady paycheck to working off of commission. I told them I didn't know how much longer we'd be able to come up with our mortgage payment, they stated they couldn't help us because we were still making the payments. Then a couple months after that, we fell short, I asked for help, they said that they would send us the paperwork for being modified and showing our other choices (short sale, etc).
I told them we didn't want to move, we want our house, but need help. We sent them every piece of paperwork they wanted, I'm talking probably over 50 pages of personal information as well as spreadsheets showing our expenses, and so on.
It took forever for them to get the fax, then they said they needed more info, every piece of info they asked for, I gave them, and every time it took 7-10 days for them to 'get the fax', but then it was 'oh, it might be 10-14 days' to get the fax. Ridiculous, but we played along, just long enough for them to tell us, sorry, we have to put you on a payment plan...the payment plan would have us paying close to $1000 more...so I ask, if we can't make our normal payment, why would I be able to make a payment of almost $1000 more...
Then, we called again a couple months later and said please help us and we were told we'd have to fill out all of the paper work again since so much time had past. I told them that nothing has changed, the monthly expenses are the same.
the people are rude, every time you call them you have to explain your life story to them, you get a different answer every time. So months later we try to hire a company to help us out because we were due to get foreclosed on January 5th, that company let us down too, so in a last ditch effort we called Aurora and talk to some other guy who tells us we can do the payment plan and make our regular payments 4 months in a row, on the 3rd payment we have to fill out all of the paperwork again and they'd see about modifying our loan at that time.
We're about to make our first payment of this payment plan, and I'm very worried that some where they're going to say I screwed up so they can just foreclose on us after squeezing some more money out of us. I would love to go after these people!!
They'd rather just foreclose on people, then help them out, my credit score has dropped over 100 points too because of this. Please include me in any and all charges against these people!!! I wish every the best though!!! I hope someone has a happy ending some where!!!

Fraudulent company
Today I received a letter from 'Nancy Self' with Aurora. It asked me to send in a ton of paperwork, which I've already sent in a month or so ago, claiming they have a new home retention program. The e-mail address they gave is not even valid!!!
We've been going the rounds with this company for many months now, and have basically given up. The last time I spoke with someone on the phone, they flat out told me they didn't care if my house went into foreclosure!!! My husband and I are both employed, but our income has dropped since the economy has been so bad. If we had no income, I could see why they would not want to work with us, but that's not the case.
Supposedly there are Government programs in place to encourage these companies to help us but, unfortunately, they are voluntary on the lender's part. They have the ability to do what they can to help, and are choosing not to. Look up the 'Hope For Homeowners' program on FHA.gov. This is proof there are programs out there to help us, Aurora is just choosing to not participate.
Sadly, for everyone who was unfortunate enough to have our loans sold to Aurora, we're stuck trying to work with a company who doesn't care if we all end up homeless. The reason they don't care is they are a Lehman Brothers Company. Lehman Brothers is going out of business. In the end, it's not the people we speak to on the phone who are making any decisions, it's the corporation behind Aurora. I actually feel bad for the poor people who have to answer the phones when we call frustrated and upset. I'm sure they would love to get different jobs, but they have mortgages to pay too. Hopefully for them, Aurora doesn't hold their loan!

December 4, 2008
Nightmare
My home loan was sold to Aurora Loan Services in December 2006 to start with them January 2007. On January 4, 2007 about mid-morning I received a phone call from them asking abut my payment for January despite the fact that my payment is not considered late until after the 16th of the month. But this was only 3 days after the January 1 holiday. At the time I thought, wow, they are hungry for money, but I let it go and continued to pay my mortgage for the remainder of the year on time and before the 16th. In January 2008 I was a laid off my job and had only saved about 2 months reserve to fall back on. In March 2008 I was out of reserve and made a partial payment to Aurora leaving a balance do for March of $600. Aurora immediately began reporting me to the credit bureaus indicating that I owed them anywhere from $3, 000 to upwards of $5, 000. And on top of that the amounts varied every month. It sees that they were just pulling different amounts from the sky and saying that was what I owed. These completely fabricated reporting have ruined my credit so I refinance or can't get another company to buy my loan from them. These deceptive accounting practices have caused me nothing but nightmares and unrest. They have refused to work with me and I'm about to loose my home. They saw an opportunity to prey on the weak they completely took advantage of it. How does one calculate $5, 000 from $600? From other stories I've read it seems to start with any homeowner who has just a little bit of trouble making full payments to them no matter the circumstance or whether the homeowner later rectify that circumstance. Aurora practices seem to be that they are hell bent on not giving the homeowner a chance but would rather foreclose and leave a family homeless than work with them all the while they have make the problem worse by reporting incorrect information to the credit bureaus, thus affecting the homeowners ability to move forward because Aurora have lied. They are cheats and a ripoff!
