Saxon Mortgage problems are not all Novastar issues
This is just one of our articles referencing Saxon Mortgage complaints about mortgages, HAMP modifications, foreclosures, service, and more:
When Novastar Financial of Kansas City went broke nobody really cried about it. This is a press release from October 16, 2007:
Troubled subprime lender NovaStar Financial, Inc. said late today that it will sell its entire servicing rights to Saxon Mortgage Services, Inc. in a bulk deal that pulls the rug out of NovaStar’s sizeable servicing operation.
The deal will see NovaStar’s servicing rights sold for roughly $175 million in cash, and will lead to “substantial reductions in both its organization and workforce,” the Kansas City-based mortgage company said. Novastar employs 300 in its servicing operations.
It is the summer of 2009, and Saxon Mortgage Services is trying to blame NovaStar accounts for many of Saxon’s problems. Failure to modify loans, the need for more employees, and call volume cannot be attributed to former Novastar customers.
Whatever the cause, Morgan Stanley and Saxon wanted the Novastar accounts. Now they have them, and must address certain issues, like telling homeowners who their investor is.
We’ve asked homeowners to call Saxon and report their results. We will publish more on this subject as details become clear.

My horror story with Saxon. Also please check out my Ireport on CNN. Here is the link. Feel free to post your horror story on there.
http://www.ireport.com/docs/DOC-310943
I am writing to you about a company that is ******** over its customers. They are in violation of TILA laws, Fair Debt Protection Act, Unfair business practice, wrongful foreclosure, negligance, HUD and RESPA laws, not documenting payments, undisclosed fees, excessive fees charged, etc. There are many complaints against this company and something needs to be done. I am writing to everyone that I can think of so that they can be investigated. They are taking advantage of the hard working, American people and it is wrong. I have attached my personal dealings with this company. Your help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank You,
Shelly Burgess

7/16/2009- Spoke with Alex. I called Saxon to check up on the fax that I sent to them over a week ago disputing charges. He verified all my info and I asked about it. He asked me where my payment on the remod was. I advised him that I had spoken to TJ on 7/2/09 who got approval from a=2 0supv to extend my payment to 7/28. He then tells me that there20are no notes to reflect that. He then asked again when I would send my payment. I advised him that they would receive it by 7/28 per the arrangements that I had made with TJ. He then rudely asked my why I was in default to begin with. I told him that it was none of his business and I didn’t need to tell him. I then started asking about the fax that I had sent (which was why I called in the first place). He told me that it takes 30 days to investigate that. I told him that they already had way more than 30 days since I had sent the proof of payment in early June. They were the ones that screwed it up. I again requested that all notes from agents, etc and all correspondance to m e to be sent to me. He didn’t even respond to that.&nb sp; When he asked why I was disputing the charges, I told him that they are charging me 17 times for property inspections,=2 0etc. He was so uncaring and had long pauses. He didn’t know what he was doing nor did he have much knowledge of his job. His customer service skills were horrible. This is what I have dealt with for almost a year now. He couldn’t give me any information in regards to my call which was a waste of my cell phone minutes and time…..again. I then told him that I was going to sue their company and hung up on him. Even thou I told him how angry I was, he didn’t care nor did he apologize for20all of the problems that I have been having with their company.
7-20-09 Saxon called me and left messages at 1:50p, 4:41p and 6:32p. I returned their calls and left message @ 4:45p, 9:08p and 9:09p.

7/23/09- Received advertisement from Saxon in regards to HOME NOW project.
7/22/09, 6:27pm- Saxon calling (Valora in Fort Worth, TX) and wanting to know why I didnt make the payment on 7/1 for the remodification as Iwas supposed to. Asked if I got paperwork. I advised for the 2nd time that TJ (118964) whom I spoke to on July 2, got approval from her team lead for an extension until=2 07/28. I also told her about the $300.00 payment that I made in M arch that was not applied or documented. She put me on20hold for a very long time to check on the extension. Again, I a m on my cell phone. She came back after about 14 mins. States that 7/28 is ok for payment. Advised me that she would let me speak to a supervisor. I am again on hold (6:48p-6:58) I hung up. This call lasted for 32 mins. I waited for the supervisor to call me back and they never did.
7/22/09- Sent request to Chase bank for proof of payment to Saxon on 4.6.09.
7/28/09-emailed Saxon about fee disute. (onne fee dispute is the 17 property inspection fees I was charged for in less than20a year, 7 of which were on 3/9/09)
7/28/09- emailed Saxon a bout Payment issues.
7/30/09-Received letter from Saxon stating that they dont take partial payments and used it towards fees on the account. The payment still doesnt show, even on the paperwork that they sent. If they didnt take partial payments, why werent the payments refused and I could of send in one full payment??
8/1/09- Sent complaint (third one) to Texas Attorney General.
8/1/09- Filed complaint with Washington State AG.
8/1/09- Emailed complaint to kevin.rodman@morganstanley.com. Kevin Rodman is the Director, President, and CEO of Saxon Mortgage Services Inc.
8/6/2009- Spoke with Miguel who I told my entire story to again. I advised that I am going to sue thier company. They still do not show the $300.00 payment I made in M arch. He is going to get a supervisor for me. He came back online and told ne that the notes dont state that letters were sent out to me. I have both of them in my hand. I demanded to speak to a supervisor. I was on hold again and he came back and told me something else. He would not let me speak to a supervisor. I dont think the even exist. He told me that the 300.00 was credited back to my account and refused and that I need to fax my proof of payment to them. I have already faxed it to them 3 times! I advised that this is not in my records. He told me that they have 3 more days to decide what they are going to do with the account after he just told me that it was debited back to my account. I told him that I already got a response from someone named Heather and she made no mention of the $300.00 payment.Which was my question to begin with. I advised that I am not going to pay this payment until they redo my remodification without the foreclosure fees, attorney fees, breach of contract fees, excessive property inspection fees, etc. I swear it is like talking to a brick wall when you call them. They dont care what you have to say at all. They wont answer your direct questions and do circles around them so they dont have to answer them.
8/6/09- I=2 0called 1-817-665-7200 and asked for the CEO of Saxon. They transferred me to their admin. I left a message on (Alvery Mathers) message machine as to what I want done and how I have be en treated in great detail and demanded a call back.
(Note- All the fees from the foreclosure were still on my record and I am paying for them even though it was a wrongful foreclosure. I spoke to an attorney and and he pointed this out to me. ALL fees were not disclosed to me. There was no break down of the fees either on the paperwork I signed)
8/7/2009- No return phone call from CEO of Saxon.
8/7/2009- Received letter from my Homeowners insurance stating that they were canceling my insurance in October because they could not verify that I was living at the residence. I am assuming that Saxon had something to do with this.
