USAA MORTGAGE PROCESSOR NO ENGLISH

My VA Mortgage Processor screwed me!! I am doing what I thought was an easy loan. A VA interst reduction loan. My Processor, who was a "temporary" employee only did not speak anything other than Spanish and I could not understand her! She was beligerent and mean. She sent me a decline letter for no paystubs, however no paytubs are required for this type of loan! What an incompetent ***! Of course,she is in San Antonio so I am willing to bet that she was most likely an illegal mexican! The "thug" "supervisor" Yolanda is a piece of work too. She defended her poor perfomance. She herself could barely speak anything other than "eubonics" so that tells you something. I am not being racist here. i am simply stating a fact. Due to this mostake, I now have a mortgage late. I actually have retained legal counsel on this.

I speak perfect English as a USAA Processor, but the comments about my co workers in San Antonio are very true- They do speak English, but it is so very difficult to understand. The key in this job is to be a great communicator and, in the name of "political correctness" the sub par mortgage processors of hispanic desent, are clearly put in positions they do not qualify for. This is NOT racist!!

I am a current USAA mortgage processor for both the VA and conventional lines of business. I am the first to admit that all the negative comments about the USAA mortgage process and processors are, sadly, correct.

For starters, my co workers were recruited from largely from day labor agencies- that's right, your "loan representative" may have been laying brick or drywalling one day and next day that person is "processing" your mortgage!! Also, we (yeah I admit, I take part in this) make key documents "disappear" if we were having a bad day. For example, a purchase contract or an appraisal can disappear EVEN if you, the applicant keep sending in documents :-) Additionally, voicemails get deleted without getting heard, and emails too (from you, our member). This happens because we resent having the weight of the world on our shoulders while the team leads and Underwriters do almost nothing!! I have caused many closings not to happen- especially purchases when we have the authority to delete entire loan files!

Also, because we are the point-of-contact with the appraiser, title companies, etc., we routinely ask the appraisers to "low ball" the appraisal so the deal falls through. Now, before you start getting all mad at me, please consider the following: If a loan is denied for low appraisal, it is AWESOME because that file falls off our caseload. If the appraisal does come in where we need it to, then it creates a MASSIVE amount of work for us!! It SUXXXX!!

USAA mortgage does not provide us with training and we largely "make it up" as we go along. We do not try to create a bad member experience; however, due to the fact our caseloads aAre so heavy, we do anything possible to "kill" a deal. It sounds horrible, but afterall what would you do if you were one of us?? We don't earn barely above minimum wage and we are 100% "contracted" labor. In other words, we are "temps" and we have no benefits and are expendable!

Make up your own mind if you want to deal with USAA Mortgage- you now have all the facts!!

USAA does not hire "illegal" immigrants and to even suggest that is simply absurd. The complainants above are confusing "Spanish accent" with "speaka no English".

I sometimes have difficulty with that myself since I do not confront accents often. Be patient, folks.

If you respond rudely, you will get, in time, rudeness in return. Send a letter/email to Joe Robles, USAA CEO, and I'll assure you a "speaka English" associate will contact you.

I find that customers who have bad experiences...example...dozer says his mortgage processor, who spoke NO English mind you, was beligerant and rude.....are the rude ones. I imagine Dozer was rude and beligerant to the mortgage processor.

Most people who have bad experience are the rude ones. This woman probably spoke English with a heavy accent and Dozer says she spoke NO English.Dozer i think youre probably a bid, fat, ***, redneck, inbred, backwoods liar!

I have had a couple of less than satisfactory experiences at usaa, but i find it had to believe you spoke to someone who spoke No English. How did you figure out that the employee was a contractor or that they didnt know the definition of the word "mortgage"? Sounds like a big exaggeration and i have little respect for that.

4th Closing date, 3rd processor, getting no where. Sellers about to back out, USAA knows it, but still moving like slugs.

If you are reading this. Trust me, Do not use USAA Mortgage. My realtor told me to go with this bank in town. I said, I would go with USAA, they are good with stuff like this..HAAHAHA..Little did I know, that the mortgage dept.

is totally worthless. A waste of time. I speak from experience. You will regret it when you are weeks past the original closing date.

You need to go somewhere that you can walk into. There are alot of banks that are VA approved lenders. They will have you done in no time. I am on my 4th closing date, sellers want to back out.

Faxes are lost, emails are buried. You know, the email that has the important info they requested one day before closing, and now your closing date has been pushed back, again. You will not be able to get your processor on the phone. You need to use extension 78466, and they will instant message your processor, who will message them back.

HOW??, so, the processor doesn't answer the phone when you just called,even though they are right there. NOPE! Also, they will call at the end of the work day, to give you some info, so that it will have to wait till the next day, so that you can send them the bank statements they lost, for the 3rd time. Hello, check your email.

Its still in your *** email...duhhh! I have chosen to go with a different bank now. The one my realtor told me to use from day one. One that I can walk into, right down the road.

My paperwork, all of it, is currently sitting on the underwriters desk.

All they are waiting for is USAA for the appraisal documents. And its a done deal.

The whole no english thing as posted by Simon is right on the money. I had the same experience.

NO SPEAKA ENGLISH is my Processor to a T! I do not understand why USAA, a supposedly "American" company, hire illegal immiegrants? I do not understand at all. I am from Indiana and believe in americans first!

As a side note, my loan never got closed. MY Processor was rude and never did call me back

Well for someone who is complaining about another peron's English, you should know that "No English" is not using proper English. The proper term is "does not speak English. Also there is no such word as "mostake" did you mean mistake?

I agree with Lisa. I have the same problem- definately no speaka english is all the rage at USAA mortgage services.

My processor told me that he had been on the job for 2 weeks, he was also a "contractor" and had never had mortgage experience and did not even know the definition of that term even!

I cannot believe it!! I am also making it my mission to try to warn others as well.

USAA should monitor this processors

I have had nothing but trouble with USAA mortgage services and I have been a loyal banking customer for years. I look to USAA because I am a veteran and they specialize in veteran Financial services. However, after going through my new home loan process with a processor that can't communicate to save her life, I decided to do some research. AND ... *drum roll* Look what I found by googling my loan processor - her FaceBook page - where she complains about USAA mortgage clients. http://www.facebook.com/permalink.php?story_fbid=152223****81554&id=100000****38020 Really hope she gets moved into a new, lower position because there is NO WAY she should be dealing with clients. This going to be fun when I show this to USAA.

UPDATE - don't know if my processor got canned but they took her off my case. Also her FB page is no longer open to the public but I took screenshots as did my agent.

Last week, the CFO called me WOW!

I really like the customer service aspect of USAA but the mortgage section is a wreck! I took my loan to US BANK and no problems!

USAA mortgage - horrible

We found the house of our dreams and wanted USAA for our mortgage. Sadly, we got the worst USAA VA loan processor possible. Besides the fact that it took her two weeks to contact me (even though I called her multiple times). It took me contacting her manager to get her to pick up the phone. According to USAA management, you go to the back of *** when they resubmit your documents to underwriting. In fact, my agent was told that USAA "does not sit around waiting for the documents as [they] have many other loans to look at". Needless to say my agent was extremely upset with the tone USAA took with her (let alone them pushing my closing back and back and back). I thought USAA would be great to work with, especially since I have checking, savings and a credit card through them with no trouble. The mortgage department is a whole different world. They act like they are doing you a favor. My business is doing them a favor. I am shocked and disappointed that USAA would treat long time customers like this. I am considering pulling my loan and going with Bank of America. 35+ days to close on a 20 day contract, still no closing in sight - USAA has asked for another 7 day extension to close and a loan processor that won't return calls or e-mails. SUPER!

I agree whole heardtly, thsi has been the worst service I"ve ever received from USAA or their affiliates. I can't believe they are still holding a contract with them.

I have had a case with theprocessingcenter.com since 23 Sep 2010!! it's now 21 Dec 2010 and I still have yet to close. I am literally on the phone with them now and still getting the run around. They are probably going to 'schedule' adn I use that term loosely, cause they have said this five times prior to this one (literally), but this time I'me calling USAA back after I get off the phone and let them know what's going on.

:( :( I'm so upset over this that it's ridiculous. :(

USAA members are nothing but babies. Sure you served our country as I did but I'm not about to go and try and find a processor on Facebook and then "tell on them" just because she can't accurately communicate or because they don't call me right away.

BOO HOO!! Have you ever considered that USAA Mortgage Processors have over 50 other loans they are dealing with? Blame the company, not the processor. Customer service is one thing but common courtesy is another.

If you didn't like the processor you should have requested another one, or request to have their supervisor process your loan, or just go with a different lender. USAA charges more on their loans than most other banks (and even more than brokers)...why go with them in the first place? Because of their customer service?

Do your research; USAA does not have good customer service or rates. I'm surprised people would put up with paying more and receiving less than average customer service just to be "loyal"!

I am with you on that!! When I call for a status on my VA refinance, my processor barely can form a sentence in English and is also very rude.

She will never return a call either. On 1 loan, this is my 4th processor assigned! None of them could speak very good english neither were they kind.

Nothing against Mexican American people- however, in business, you need bright, articulate, knowledgeable staff that communicate kindly and effectively. I give up AND I also will be contacting Clarkk Howard to tell him my disgust!!

My VA Processor, a young mexican woman that I could not even understand (broken English) scorned me and took a horrible tone with me about wanting to withdraw my loan for a VA refinance. I forgot to put some papers in the mail and she was to the point of yelling at me on the phone. I am sick and I am going to the TX Department of Financial Institutions AND Comptroller of the Currency about this abuse I took!!

USAA Mortgage Services

I am posting this to warn everyone I can to avoid USAA Mortgage Services. Time Line: 1. USAA 3 weeks ago told me that they needed nothing else from me. 2. 4 Days out from closing, I found out my Mortgage Processor changed, USAA did not notify me. I found out by calling the old processor and listening to her voicemail (because they do not answer their phones until after 5pm EST), voicemail states that she is no longer processing loans. 3. Next day, USAA contacts me saying they need more information, I reply to them with what they need within the hour. 4. Day before closing, USAA started working on my putting together my loan by a new processor 5. Day of closing (Fri), can not get in contact USAA, I have no idea what is going on. Lawyers/Sellers/Agent contacting me, asking if I have heard from USAA, because USAA will not return their calls. Closing does not happen, I am homeless for the weekend. 6. Sat, USAA calls me and says the loan is approved and closing docs sent. 7. Arrive at Lawyers office at 3pm Monday, Lawyer sent HUD at 10am still has not received approval, money-wire is no where in sight. Loan numbers do not match what I signed, USAA incorrectly puts the loan amount 1,100 dollars less then what it should be, causing more out of pocket costs for me. I again, find a hotel, homeless. 8. Tomorrow? Who knows what USAA has planned, everyone has done their job on this purchase except for them. I will do my VERY best to deter anyone I come in contact with from ever doing a mortgage through USAA, they do a great job at every other service they provide but they have lost my business on any future Mortgages.

I am curious to what happened in the end game, did they make good and was it resolved? I am asking because I am in a similar situation with a refinance.

VA Steamline, easiest loan out there. Did one a year and a half ago and it took a couple weeks, no problem, proactive loan processor that kept me in the loop. This time, the processor doesn't answer the phone, doesn't let me know what's going on, doesn't call me about cancellations, not even the notary knew and they were thankful I called them.

I HAVE BEEN CANCELLED LAST MINUTE 3 TIMES!!

No call from USAA, I find out from the title company. Then I have to call back and find out what is going on. It's ridiculous.

I have always had excellent customer service with USAA, but this time, this is the worst, I definitely feel betrayed. Even the supervisor didn't make good on his promise to keep me in the loop.

To the original poster...exactly! Their mortgage loan process is a complete and total mess.

Didn't close yesterday on our "guaranteed" closing date after an entire day of sending in loads of last minute requests. Bought a NEW plane ticket today so that we could stay and close. It's two hours until my husband needs to leave for his flight...still no closing. They are a complete mess there.

If you plan on getting a mortgage through USAA don't plan on closing on time. Even at that, call them EVERYDAY and harass them!!! I mean this literally.

What do you need, have you received my paperwork, could you open my attachments (yes this was an issue at last minute), has the appraisal been ordered, has the appraisal appointment been made, etc......You have to do their work for them, because they WON'T do it. Use them for banking if you like, but look else where for a mortgage loan.

USAA has not planned accordingly in respect to allowing ALL military members, past and present, to open new lines of business. They try and bring in contractors and temporary staff to help ease the burden but there are still more than twice as many loans in each processor's *** than what should be.

The simple solution would be to hire at least 400 more processors so that each processor has no more than 40 loans instead of 60-80. Customer service would increase and pissed-off military members would decrease; of course that would cut into USAA's bottom line and god forbid that ever happens!!!!

USAA is a scam

I opened a checking & savings account with USAA. They required a minimum deposit of $25 per account, which I transferred from my current bank. I was notified a week later that USAA has 'chosen to not do business with me'. They are not required to provide me with a reason. I have stellar credit & banking records...but ok, whatever. After 2 months of calling weekly to follow up on the refund of my $50, I was just told that they do not have to, nor will they, refund my money. None of this seems legit to me, but I do not know the ins & outs of banking. But I only went to USAA at the suggestion of friends. And now I've been screwed. Be forewarned & do your homework before trying to join, regardless of recommendations by long-time members. I get the impression that new members are not treated the same. Still fighting of my money...

To OldNavy -- You are told USAA is member-owned, and in fact it's legally an unincorporated inter-insurance exchange, at least for officer "owners"....however, it's not functionally member-owned anymore; it was confiscated by senior management and they now run it as their personal cash cow. The in-bred Board of Directors is paid about $180,000 per year per member to rubber-stamp excessive pay and perks for folks like Robles.

Members DO NOT have any voice at the annual meeting and cannot put any initiatives on the annual meeting agenda because it is functionally impossible, without considerable expense, to go find 1% of the membership to get buy-in on your initiative.

Today, 1% of the membership is 25,000 people, and USAA is not obliged to give anyone a member list in order to solicit endorsement of agenda items. This operation has been STOLEN from it's presumed owners.

I have been a member of USAA insurance for over 20 years. In that 20 years I have not had any claims.

I had a car fire and they refused to cover it. I am paying over $1200 per year for insurance and I just called around and can get the same coverage for half.

I am switching to another company. I BELIEVE TOO THAT THEY ARE A SCAM COMPANY!

I was insulted by one of the reps when I asked questions she couldn't answer and refused to work with one of the realtors she picked because he did nothing and wanted a fast close. We were looking into mortgages with them but after all of the complaints are now looking elsewhere.

That really is the only thing I can think of why they "chose not to do business". Hope you get your money back :)

USAA Mortgage is the worst ever

Do not I repeat DO NOT go to USAA for a mortgage loan. I googled "USAA Mortgage" to find my agents managers number to complain and found tons of complaints about USAA. My heart sank as I read complaints from 2001 staring the same issues my husband and i are currently experiencing. The agent called a month after we sent all of the loan paperwork to "get more information" (by the way she requested the same information  submitted earlier). We were told Oct 5th we were good to close on the original date of Oct 15th. On the 14th she sent an email again asking for a statement from my boss that was, once again, previously submitted. She assured us that we would still close the following day. Not only did we not close the USAA agent didn't even bother to call us. She ignored 5 calls and 2 emails and finally talked to my husband THREE hours after we should have closed. She assured us that the underwriters would complete their work on Saturday and we could close Monday. I tried to call every manager and supervisor in Monday and I only received voicemail. I left a message on each one and I still haven't received a returned call from them. It is Tuesday now. We finally signed the paperwork but we cannot receive the keys until USAA sends the money to the attorneys. I received a call from my realtor at 5pm today saying USAA sent the money but was 3,000 dollars short!!! Every piece if paper we signed to close today (drafted by USAA) had the correct amount; how of all people did THEY get the price wrong? I have wasted days away from work and I had to change our delivery date for our household goods three times now. I will never make this mistake again. Oh on top of everything while signing the closing papers we found out that their were 6 packages that missed their closing date THIS WEEKEND in NC only because of USAA. I cannot image how many world wide are waiting like we are. This is very disappointing.

USAA Mortgage Services=I am in agreement. Our San ANtonio based VA loan representative was very ineffective- mainly because this was his first job out of high school and he confided in me (through very bad english) that he actually is not a US Citizen and he had been in TX with his family illegally since he was a child. I would not have cared about this fact if he could have closed our loan or understood his job functions- I suppose in South Texas, the close knit mexican american community will always hire "one of their people" over a qualified white US citizen because afterall, it is a mexican owned and founded organization!!

We went through the same experience. Have had USAA services for a few years now.

At first I was skeptical about USAA, but they won me over with their SUPREME customer service. The mortgage company? DIFFERENT STORY ALL TOGETHER. They were terrible.

Same issues listed in this review, only we missed our closing date several times, and almost had to pay extra penalties TO THEM because they could not close on time!!! To this day I thank the fact that I called them every day for 3 weeks straight, (basically harrassing them).

I think that is the only reason we EVER closed. :(

I refinanced with USAA last year, but have been very disappointed in their service one year later when we went thru an escrow analysis, which they do frequently. First I should say that last year I was overcharged $1400 and got a refund from the county for property...

Let me start off by saying that I love USAA banking and insurance. They are truly world class in how they deal with me. However, my current experience with USAA Mortgage Processing is making me want to find a different bank. We are trying to refinance our house at a...

USAA Tricks & Traps

USAA is using TRICKS & TRAPS to make people feel like they are getting a great deal. In fact, one should always get at least three quotes for mortgages, insurance (auto or life, etc.) I am a commander and every time I obtained other quotes I was able to easily bet their quotes. They are seeking to take advantage of military members, i.e. there user agreements. If you read them, you will see you give up all of your rights in the event of a dispute. USAA user agreement does not protect you only them! USAA makes it sound like it is for your benefit however BEWARE. Seek legal advice if you doubt whose interest these agreements are protecting. One other comment, when I inquired as to the salary of the CEO was making, I was told this information was not to be make public. Stock options, off balance sheet accounting, etc. Sounds like USAA has something to hide.

You aint just-a-whistling DIXIE! I had them for ten years and realized when I tried to make them pay for property damages that they were scammers. I wrote thier CEO and told him he shoud be ashamed of the fraud they perpetrate on the US Military. I have asked the Garrison CDR of the Installatoin where I work to black ball them, but rcvd NO support from the military commanders. Anyone who has been ripped off by USAA needs to write the Attorney General of the USA and let them know of the scam USAA has going.

I agree with the poor service from USAA, especially if you begin having financial difficult. I've been with USAA since 1987.

I am a doctor, and thanks to a former employee who invented a host of alleged 'injuries' while working for me, she filed a lawsuit in the hopes of winning a settlement large enough to fund her retirement. Well, she lost her case at the district court level AND at the supreme court level. If anyone has ever been involved in any type of legal battles, you know that it's very very expensive. I had a USAA backed business insurance policy in place at the time the lawsuit was filed.

After submitting my claim and supporting documents to USAA, they declared that 'no loss has occurred, appeal our decision if you wish". I appealed, and it's almost as if I had done nothing at all. All communication from USAA stopped. I could not get a response from anyone about the business insurance, the claim, the appeal, nothing.

This left me paying for my own legal fees out of pocket. The 6-year long legal case cost me everything I had...retirement, kid's college funds, my thriving practice, everything. Ultimately, I had to file bankruptcy. I had a car financed through USAA at the time, and they repossessed it (almost 2 years after the bankruptcy closed!).

They also decided to block my online access to my accounts. I still have auto, renters, property and fire insurance through USAA, but am actively seeking to change. As soon as had financial challenges, USAA wanted nothing to do with be beyond collecting my premium dollars.

USAA is there for their members when being so benefits USAA.

USAA Mortgage Closing Service Company Incompetent

The company USAA Mortgage Services uses to close is incompetent. I had to schedule closing three times because the notary failed to show up to close the first two times. We never received a call either of the first two times from the notary, the closing company, or USAA Mortgage Services that there was a problem with the HUD-1, the notary's previous appointment, or anything else. On the third attempt, the closing company posted the closing documents to the website for the notary to use at 8 PM even though the closing appointment was at 6:30 PM.

I am posting everywhere I can to warn people about USAA and their horrible treatment of customers (members) - USAA Mortgage is run by mexican immigrants, I am totally convinced of that!! Our VA Mortgage Processor, could not communicate well at all (and I think she cursed out my husband in Spanish) therefore, I will tell everyone I know AND the VA loan center about how Veterans and their families are treated.

I applied alnong with my husband for a VA Refinance a month ago. My husband is 100% disabked as a result if service in Afghanistan- a grenade exploded under him during a "sweep". He is a grunt, an infantryman and would die for his country- and he almost did!! Anyway, our VA Processor kept telling us he has to pay the 3.3% funding fee. Then, she changed her mind and said no he did not. She refused to accept any paperwork from the VA with his rating. This incompetant *** mexican lady put us through *** and back! It finally came to the point that our lock expired not once but twice on us. Had we gone through with the USAA refinance, we would have had another half a percent tacked on to our rate.

I am thinking that this malicious treatment has to be criminal or fraud. I find it hard to believe that a fortune 500 organization would be so "politically correct" in its hiring to reflect the large mexican american population in TX without regard to skill or merit. I understand that they have a consumer reporter on KENS 5 in SA. I have contacted him and they will be airing an expose on USAA Mortgage Services in early Feb 2011.

I want to vomit when I think of the bad people there.

Please save yourself and DO NOT DO BUSINESS with USAA mortgage. I am posting in sites all over the internet.

The mortgage section of USAA are filled with incompetent people. The posting by "Johny Apples" in the complaintsboard.com hits the nail right on the head! The sentence "The loan processor assigned to us was the most incompetent, lazy, and lease knowledgeable financial services professional with whom I have ever dealt. He never answers his phone, never returns messages left in his voicemail, doesn't respond to repeated E-Mail inquiries regarding the status of our loan..." just made my wife and I laugh out loud!

It is so true. Unfortunately for us, we also missed our closing date. Mind you, it is not because we do not satisfy all 'standards' for the loan. We more than do.

The reasons are simple: USAA is ripe with incompetent people. These employees have very low education and have difficulty speaking english properly. The Supervisor there, called "Yolanda", is someone that certainly should not be in any leadership position. We bargained very hard to get the owner of this particular property to sell at a extremely low price.

Now, we may lose the house because Yolanda and her "TwoPac" sidekicks don't wish to work for their income. Can you imagine? On the day of the closing, we had to haggle on the phone with these hoodlums just to speak to someone in mortgaging. Then, they have the nerve to inform us that there are documents missing that I know were either sent in the packet over a month ago or, at the least, should have been told to us were missing weeks ago.

I say: RUN and throw grenades behind you. DO NOT DO BUSINESS with USAA mortgage.
