A Correction. Eastern Savings Banks corporate headquarters are in Hunt Valley, MD. The message below lists their address as 97 Winding Lane, East Hartford, Ct. That is incorrect, that is my home address. I'm sorry, I'm just a little tired!

If you are a victim of eastern savings bank in foreclosure, call and write to your states Attorney General, as well as call the Office of Thrift Supervision who regulates them and oversees them, to file a complaint with them. Their number is 1-800-842-6929. They will give you a web site to go to, to submit your complaint. Also go to your states court web site and type in eastern savings bank in the party's name and hit search; you will probably come up with a list of people in your state who are also victims of eastern and are in foreclosure with them. I found over 100 in ct and Benito found over 100 in New York. We all need to band together and file a class action or multi-state co-plaintiff lawsuit against them as soon as possible, to put these criminals out of business and in jail where they belong. E-mail me at [email protected] or call me at 860-895-8837. I am in Ct and have been fighting them since 12/20/2007. Don't give up!!!

ANYONE WHO HAS BEEN A VICTIM OF PREDATORY LENDING BY EASTERN SAVINGS BANK, WRITE OR CONTACT YOUR STATES ATTORNEY GENERAL. IF ENOUGH OF US BAND TOGETHER, THESE CRIMINALS WILL BE PROSECUTED WITH A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT, AND HOPEFULLY JAIL TIME FOR THERE CRIMINAL PREDATORY LENDING PRACTICES. DON'T GIVE UP!!!

Eastern Savings Bank misrepresented the details of my loan. When I got to closing, their Representative breezed through the documents. The loan carried a higher interest rate. When I tried to re-finance the loan later to get away from this company, they had built in a fee of almost 100, 000.00 if I tried to re-finance within the first year. This fee was incremental over the first 5 years of the loan. Misrepresentation at best and fraud at the least.

Eastern Savings Bank appears on many complaint boards because they are a hard money lender that has shown they are unwilling to modify mortgages. They appear to deal only with people who have some equity. The word is they don't budge and people are concerned that some of their tactics should be scrutinized by the Thrift Supervision Board, they already havea cease and desist order against them with respect to commercial lending practices. You can file a complaint with the U.S. Thrift Supervision Board: copy link to browser.

Consumer alert - Eastern Savings Bank in Hunt Valley Maryland is a Predatory lender. We are hoping to gather enough victims of this company to initiate a class action lawsuit. This company has been preying on the vulnerable for far too long. They routinely charge interest rates above 12 and 13% They also are involved in creating prepayment penalties that may violate many state statutes.

With the current state of the economy and the thousands of Americans facing foreclosure this company stands out as one of the worst. They appear to not agree to modify loans they refuse to work with homeowners and have been known to treat them with disrespect and a cold calculating manner. They appear to be going after the properties rather than working with homeowners in an effort for them to stay in their homes.

If you are a victim - let us know - state your case here and provide info to join in the pending class action lawsuit. We are looking at something similar to the class action suit filed against Countrywide. Eastern Savings certainly appears far worse than CW.

The federal government should be made aware of this federally insured bank and the tactics they utilize to take people homes! People need to take a stand against banks that refuse to modify loans and at least give people a chance!
