Indymac Bank
Reviews and Complaints

HEY ALL OF U EMAIL ME IF THIS HAPPEND TO U Drazzrules@***.com im looking into a lawsuit over this ( maybe class action??) thanks

How can we fight for our rights. What can we do to remedy this problem. They offered me 9.8% without no other options.

They did the same to us this month. Did not even offer 30 yr fixed, even though at the time of the construction loan this was stated on their website.

I think Tammy meant "ditto". But Indymac has done this to many people. Me included.

Dido......same thing to us.

THEY DID THE SAME *** THING TO US!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

10,000 people involved with uninsured money, How do they deal with it?

I think it is necessary to get the bankruptcy lawyer hired by all uninsured

people.

What do you with the uninsured fund?

:? I was just told the other day that this bank isn't doing well and might be merging or taken over by another bank.

Not sure what this means.

i've had great customer service so far but the fact that your CD is missing is ***! Once you lose trust in your BANK!

you start to lose trust in everything else. You should go to a Credit Union instead.

Will IMB still be able to close all the short sales they have been negotiating for months considering it will take writing huge checks for a lot of them to clear their books? There are a couple homes in my area that IMB is accepting close to $300,000.

less than what is owed.

How can they honestly close these deals? Has anyone had experience in this area?

your dad is 91. He's most likely on his way to a better place to be with your mother.

If you didn't cosign for the loan - you have nothing to worry about.

You dad has nothing to worry about either.

Just make some kind of payment, amount that he can afford to show good faith until he leaves this earth.

Why sue? Just speak with their CS rep.

Sounds like a option ARM...you pay a minimum payment (lower than actual interest rate). The difference between the minimum payment and the actual interest is added to the principal.

These are the loans that will cause the REAL trouble in our country. There are still MILLIONS of people in these loans who are still to this day allowed to defer the interest on these loans and are paying the minimum payment. Once they exceed 1110% of the original loan, they will HAVE to pay the full payment. Of course since this full payment is base upon a higher loan amount at the higher adjusted rate, the payment will JUMP.

Once these start coming due, what are the odds that Americans will struggle to pay the higher payment when they realize how upside down they are? You think there are a lot of foreclosures now? This is just the beginning.

IMB, Countrywide, World Savings, and Washington Mutual were amongst the PUSHERS of these loans. Just wait until this *** hits their portfolio.

If your money is with any of these institutions, BEWARE. They're next!

Do you think IndyMac was the only lender to do IO ARMS? NO!

People need to read the loan documents before signing! If you don't understand how a loan product works....

then ask it to be explained. Plain and simple.

At this point I would take some of the forecloused property just to make even.. they must have tons of homes or they must have stole the money ..

With the run on withdrawals, do you think another bank is going to purchase IMB?? I don't believe the slim pickings will be enticing enough for another institution to purchase it. What do you think?

I also had over $375k with IndyMac in an IRA CD. I am was told that I could get $250k plus 1/2 of the excess immediately.

If they are able to find a buyer (sucker) for IndyMac then I should get the balance. Qualified accounts are considered first creditors ahead of other accounts and stockholders. You might also get some of the rest of your money. Call the FDIC and schedule a telephone interview to file a claim.

DO NOT trust IndyMac any further. I have been waiting since Monday for my money which was supposed to be wired within 24 hours. I have contacted them 4 times and keep getting the run around. Now the FBI is investigating them.

Put your money in Gold and Silver instead of Banks. You can't tell the crooks from the good guys so avoid them all. Foreign currency is also a better investment.

This country is in trouble. Sorry for your loss.

Is anyone currently doing a short sale with Indymac? Have they gotten any better? Do you know how long their short sales are taking?

I a very concerned about the Christerfers of the world. Not dealing with troubled assets on a timely basis is a recipe for further train wreckage.

Unprofessionalism and recalcitrant behaviours are signs of corporate decay and decline.

Banks do act like government bureaucracies in times of crisis. A similar phenomena as a deer caught in the headlights of oncoming traffic.

Guys, we are in a foreclosure crisis.

As realtors we cannot manage over 10 files without help and we are trained experience Realtors.

You're just going to have them time to get their systems down. Keep in mind they are hiring people that have no clue about real estate.

I have a deal with Christerfer Boyett as our Indymac negotiator right now. Submitted file in April, got BPO in May, Boyette assigned in May, and the only communication from him since (despite several "esacalations") was his late July email asking me what the offer price was again.

Phone rep today says she agrees that this is a very bad situation for us - the BPO is probably going to have to be re-done, he have responded in 30 days, by early June, not Sept. She said many others have problems with him too. His dept cannot be called (even by the Indymac phone center) because his team doesn't have a phone center of their own. Best they could do was email his supervisor.

That hasn't had any impact in the past. Interesting: his out of office email responder is kept busy with his holidays.

Boyette: Just another BIG reason we have a mortgage crisis.

You have to love these *** who continue to look at computer screens following scripts and models from their superiors who are even less clueless to what goes on in the real world. Hey IndyMacFanboy, the commissions you worry so much about could pay for themselves many times over, if you guys were smart enough to accept an offer quickly instead of thinking you know more than the agents in the field.

I just saw you guys lose $350,000 in two months by going REO over a shortsale in less on a high priced home here in So. Cal. If the public knew how mismanaged the process was, they'd be even more sick than they already are. You guys made terrible decisions when you loaned the money and your doing it all over again.

You low level mediators are so focused on stealing commisison from the agents who are earning what they did in 2002 for selling a home.

Take your W-2 income and go home to your X-Box and apartment, you loser. Mabe some day you'll see the forest through the trees.

You realtors are nothing but a bunch of greedy pigs getting paid $10000 to spend 30 mins closing a file and "complaining" that banks aren't doing enough to help. Maybe you should lower your fees and stop your complaining and someone will care.

Fanboy in IndyMacs back pocket....

Get this. In 2009 my son had emergency brain surgery and I lacked $ to afford insurance for us.

The company I worked for merged (layoffs) so I took a $12.00 hr position to be responsible. The $350 a month child support ended. I submitted a modification and was told by your butt buddies that I did not have a hardship. First try and this was not a hardship!

I tried a second time and was told I was current, but a parent is to provide a child with a safe and secure home.

That is exactly what I did and that is exactly why I struggled to remain current.

After discussing the issues with a consultant, it was suggested to get behind on payments for no more than two months and so I tried a third time only to be advised they would not work with me because I was behind.

Here it is 2014 and managed to make it through the short-sale of my home, but still am having issues with the "God knows real escrow close date" listed on ALLLLLLL of my docs verses what you robbers submitted to the credit reporting agency.

The comment "You realtors are nothing but a bunch of greedy pigs......" is pretty brainless on your part considering it is IndyMac who is responsible to approve the mods and not them. But, I do give you some brains because you know what a greedy pig is and obviously have *** on your nose and have cash in your pocket from obviously being a employee of IndyMac or somehow a beneficiary.

What is amazing is many banks have been responsible for the theft of peoples homes, created job loss, sickness, increased crime, a dramatic increase in suicide and children living homeless in the streets.

You are one sick person if you truly think this is something to be a Fanboy of. Furthermore, the banks succeeded in robbery and brought this nation to its knees without firing a bullet, but God help the persons who would ever consider robbing the bank!

Hi

Indymac has keep us sending proff of insurance for the last 5 months, tho they are satifyed they contue taking out $113. 00 extra each month which is over 1,100.

now and will not refund.

how can i force them to refund ? i am a senoir with low income .

starbright7482@***.com

which online form are you talking about? Can you please guide me?

There is plenty of blame to go around both sides. The borrowers shouldn't have been buying things that they couldn't afford but the banks should have been much more prudent in making sure they could pay off what they borrowed.

To FBI Probe: Obviously you don't believe in Karma, otherwise you would know that to be so vindictive will only come back around to you. Putting that much negative engery into the world will only result in negative energy coming back to you. NOT good karma.

The little old ladies that stood in the heat, didn't need to, unless they had over the FDIC insurance limits in the bank. They chose to stand there to pull their money out when they could have left it there and it would have been fine. Hence, the FDIC insurance...

To FYI: Good luck job hunting! It's a jungle out there.

Its not the banks fault that foreclosures are going on in this country. Its the *** consumers fault for signing their name on that document.

No one in the office forced u to sign that document or put a gun to ur head saying do it. Its high time consumers also took responsibilities for their own actions. They knew they were buying homes they couldnt afford yet they still signed the paperwork and now blame the mortgage company??? That is just ridiculous.

Its not the banks fault that you decided to take a second on ur property so that you could buy yourself that bmw to go with your new spanky home. And dont say that you didnt do that. Most people on here know that they did it and are too wimpy too admit it. Take responsibility for your own actions and stop blaming the mortgage companies.

ARMS are the worst loans to get into anyway and you shouldnt be signing a document unless u read everything and only if your getting into a fixed mortgage. Thats just words of advice..

Your bank are putting holds on these checks, not Indymac. If you look at the checks you will see that they are not written off of IMB accounts.

They are Wells Fargo, Bank One, etc.

They have this fancy thing called funds availability. Your bank could call the bank that the check is written off of and verifiy that the funds are available if they really wanted to.

FYI not all of the employees knew what was going on so to say they all should be held accountable is absurd! I don't deserve to lose my severance or my job but because some overpaid suits made effed up business decisions I am left wondering how I am going to pay my rent and afford gas to drive to job interviews that I can't seem to get. "Raise your Expectations"!

Indymac Bank is no different then ENRON. I hope the "Powers To Be" go straight to the top of the pile and start picking them off one at a time.

They should be denied any and all bonus and severance payments they received. I just want to keep my house if I ever get construction completed.

It is with pure joy that I watch your company sink. The entire company-you included- should be proud that you way of mortgage lending brought America to the brink of recession, if not depression.

Your bank is NOT HONEST as evidenced by other banks placing a 3 WEEK HOLD on checks drawn from your bank.

One also has to wonder, why elderly people had to stand for HOURS in the HOT summer sun in LA. Hey, if you don't have the smarts to get off a sinking ship, then the next time you'll be seen is when a submarine cruises past the wretched hull of a bank resting on the oceans bottom with all the other dirtbag mortgage banks/brokers.

If you worked for this bank and knowingly gave out a loan that would have never been paid off, you should be responsible forget about getting compensated.

I know I would be proud to work for an organization that lies, cheats, pulls bait-and-switches and has written some of the worst loans in mortgage history. Pure greed!!

This company (including the employees) should have their feet held to the fire for their actions. There are so many people that have lost $1,000's do to this crooked company.

I can't wait to see what happens next with the FBI investigation. Karma sucks!!

let me comment. I've something very serious to comment about. Are my Indymac issued checks any good?

They seem to have a life of their own.

They fell to the ground and started bouncing.

I am in a similiar situation, they had supposedly corrected my accounts to have trusts, but they did not and I am potentially losing 280k even after getting my 50 %.. Any website or any info on a lawsuit against them?

RE: The person who bought the (2) CDs......why? Sure, CDs are supposed to be a 'safe' haven; but that is all they are..safe.

Unfortunately, not in this case however.

By the time you receive mini-interest on these 'parking places' and see what kind of inflation we are faced with, where are you? However, I am sorry to hear of your plight , and I wish you well in contending with this matter.

I really feel for you and banking customers in similar situations as you. Most customers do not know that you are ONLY insured for up to 100K.

That is, 100K per customer not 100K per account. So if you have 2 separate 100K accounts then you stand to loose a whole 100K.

Research this fact in the company's poilicy and make sure I'm right, I'm pretty sure I am. Best of luck to you.

I got portion of mine. I am still waiting for FDIC to get back to me regarding the rest. I think about 50k won't be covered but not sure.

I'm happy - I got all my money out.

Good luck with the law suit.

I am very concern about the way some banks are handling their client's escrow accounts. And INDY MAC is not the only one!

Did you know your unpaid tax note can be sold at an auction for pennys on the dollar, and someone can take your house because your taxes are unpaid?

Allow me to help you collect your escrow from these banks.

Best of luck,

Alberto Marinas, MBA

When your escrow account is being analyzed, the bank must use the real figure that was paid out to ensure they are collecting enough funds. If your taxes go down all you have to do is fax in an accurate tax bill, or wait until an installment is made at the new amount and request to have your payment adjusted.

FYI most companies don't escrow for Supplementals because there's not really a way of knowing how much those are going to be.

I have been fighting InduMac's nonpayment of my supplemental property tax assessment for Three years. With partial success. They still do not admit any wrongdoing, but eventually refunded the penalties and interest, and about half of the amount that I had to pay out of pocket. After researching the Federal law regarding escrow accounting, I am convinced that they owe me the other half. I hope to pursue my issue with the FDIC.

In the course of my nonstop letters and phone conversations, an IndyMac Vice Presdient of Customer Experience told me that the Bank shredded my request. I produced a copy of the fax along with a copy of the confirmation. I sent of to them with "DO NOT SHRED THIS FAX" on the cover page. The Bank's defense is that I took their statement about the shredding out of context.

Along the way, I have become convinced that their escrow accounting is wrong. For example, they reduced my escrow in March but did not pay an installment of regular tax until three weeks later. My County's chief property tax accountant met with me and produced documents proving the date the tax was wired and the date posted. She said that mortgage companies can't get the taxes right. HUD's RESPA regulations clearly state this is forbidden.

I am so happy IndyMac went belly up. I do hate the way the FDIC is treating depositors, however.

We recieved a letter stating the same thing. In fact our house payment went up in July.

Our property value has fallen so not real sure what is going on. We have not recieved anything from our county stating that taxes have not been paid....so far.

:( YESS I TOO HATE INDY MAC!!!!

I had an interest only loan and my payment doubled in January 2008. I called numerous times, faxed, wrote letters to them to see if they could work with me and they never replied. If they would have worked with their clients to resolve these issues they might not be in the position they're in now!

Cry me a river. it is your responsibility to get things in writing why would you assume that something would happen in the future with out documentation

Read your mortgage NOTE! You are the *** who signed it and agreed to it's terms!

As far as help goes, wait in line.

Thousands of people are on the same boat as you are for looking for help. It is a first come first serve basis and it has a 60-90 day wait period.

They waived the penalty too. I just got my CDs out , 1 month and 3 months early.

I thought I have to pay the penalty , but I did not. It is depend on the knowledge of your teller.

You can let it there or liquidation your CDs. I got more than I hve expected to get.

Yes you get interest paid till the day of close out, that is usually how it works out there at Indy.

I’ve been in the loan business for over 20 years. Indy Mac was one of the better lenders in the market place.

Their staff is professional and knowledgeable. The leadership on the construction side is very competent. The rumors Indy Mac was having problems have been around for months and most of us in the industry have heard them. I think every bank that lends money has negative rumors to deal with.

No I think that Indy Mac was dealt a low blow, and the depositors' panic run on the bank was the result. How can a Senator get away with unsubstantiated comments that will potentially leave hundreds of people unemployed? I have a feeling there was a personal side to the senators comments. Wow what an ego, be very careful what you say to that guy he's got some major insecurity issues.

Maybe his mom didn't love him.

As with the complaint about not being paid for 8 months; for goodness sake what kind of manager would allow that to happen?

Maybe there are two sides to the story. But a good thing for him is that his wife’s out there fighting for him, I wish him luck at home and work.

Senator Schumers' comments about Indy Mac were irresponsible, and many will suffer as a result. The Senator will get tagged for this one.

The bank was viable and most banks in this country would collapse under a sustained run. That’s right not one of them would survive the deposit requirements. This entire scenario is tragic. The FED, Senate, and Congress have miss handled the Sub Prime contagion.

Billions in bad loans were the result of resets in variable rate loans. In many cases the payments doubled. The investors looked at the resets as the big payoff. How else do you think they were sold.

Had the leadership in this country (FED, Senate, Congress, and Executive) forced a reversal of resets on a temporary basis the housing market could have been stabilized. The argument that the investor would lose in that scenario is silly, they already lost. At least property values would have not have been crushed leading to all the other losses in the prime market, If anything it would have helped the prime markets. Greed followed by more greed then panic is tragic, but to have to include the arrogance of a New York Senator and his personal attacks on a bank that results in its collapse is alarming.

Countrywide bank didn't have a run, did the Senator get a loan from CW, I know Dodd did.

In summary Indy Mac was a better run bank than some of the rumors indicate. I hope by some miracle that Indy Mac survives and its employees can keep their jobs.

Who is it that is posting the negative replies? Are you a representative of Indymac, an employee...

what the ***? I've read several reviews and comments trying to get a better understanding of what is going on with this company. I seem to keep seeing alot of responses to peoples comment being sooo uncalled for. If someone post a question or comment asking a valid question or telling thier experience with this company, why is it that they have to be an "***" or "***".

If the company failed, it failed. It's valid to be concerned. And the ***(s) that response to these comments in such a mannor should stop the name calling. It's not helping the company or getting these folks thier money back.

Seems to me if Indymac were legitimate in all of thier business handling they would not have ended up in such a bad position. There are a lot of smaller banks that haven't hit bottom. So the question is... who's the ***?

The company that went under or the customer that put thier faith and money into that company? And for the person name calling, if you ARE an Indymac employee, may your next paycheck bounce and the people that you're calling idiots pass you by while you're on your way to the unemployment office!

Must be a retail sales Manager? Because we always had signage and knew who to turn too with questions.

Sounds like he wasnt a very good sales manager.... and that there was more *** going on then selling.

What do you know about LEGITAMATE loans? Are you in the biz too? Doubt it.

You sound like an ***.
