Indymac trying to take my house after successful completion of bankruptcy and full payment of home.
Indymac is trying to take my home after I successfully completed my bankruptcy and received a letter from bankruptcy court noting completion and being paid in full. Who turned these fools loose on our society??? What better reason for people to rise up in protest. If our government is afraid of riots in the streets they better put a leash on the dogs they turn loose. In the rush to gain popularity in the polls Indymac bank was taken by our government but they did not take the service arm that is run by thieves and crimminals and they continue to use strong arm tatics to squeeze monies out of people trying to do the right thing.

IndyMac taking disabled person's home
Indymac is still up to it's old tricks. It is now taking my home, I am disabled, barely able to walk and they have my home scheduled for a foreclosure sale on September 13, 2011. All the while, they continue to claim to be working on a loan modification for me. This is truly the most unscrupulous company ever and they are working with the government's blessing. They say to go to HUD, HUD won't help, you continually get the run around and are asked to submit the exact same information time after time after time. I have more than a dozen requests for the same information and have submitted it back to them every time. This is an example of how low the US has fallen. Letting a disabled person who cannot care for himself be thrown out in to the street all in the shadow of the "economic slowdown". This is outrageous and people should be rioting in the streets. How does a country fall to such a low level. I guess they will have to spend a few more dollars when they show up to throw me out...they will have a dead body to dispose of. They are leaving me no choice. I have no family and no means of getting another place to live. I pray that IndyMac employees have a very hot spot in *** reserved for them.

Either crooks or incompetent
I have been with them for 5 years. Talked to 2 different reps last Wed. Thu. and they said I needed $3000 by July 31st and my loan would be completely caught up and they were just waiting on an exact figure. I talked 2 these 2 girls for at least an hour an they assured me it was correct and even gave me there special name and ID and said not to worry. The most the catch up payment would be $3100 or so with penalties and I would be guaranteed to go back to my regular payment of $1565. I called this afternoon to see if they had the figure and a new rep said I needed $8400 or else another repayment plan of $5900 down and something like $2200 for 5 more months. If I can't come up with the $5900 or $8400 they are foreclosing on me now. This is ridiculous. Is there any way I can have them play back the recording of the girl telling me the payment would be $3000, I talked to her for an hour and she guaranteed me not to worry and all the info she was giving me was true. I am not sure what to do now, I have a wife and 3 children and am worried to death. I can't even sleep. Let me know if there is anything I can do for myself or help anyone else with the same situation. I am starting to believe they are either crooks or incompetent. One or the other. Thanks for your time.

Denied 2 times by Indymac for Loan Modification
IndyMac has denied my HAMP modification twice due to imminent foreclosure sale of the property. As others, I have applied several times for HAMP modification and have submitted all paperwork requested of me. IndyMac has given me a very hard time and have been given the runaround constantly. It is obvious they can not find a solid reason to deny me for the modification since we certainly qualify. How convenient for banks to take money from the government for bailouts and supposedly to assist the those of us that want to keep our homes and have legitimate reasons for falling behind yet we are given the runaround consistently and our homes are being auctioned off;. My husband and I have been very stressed having to deal with IndyMac Bank and not getting anywhere'. All the bank has done is feed us lies after lies|. I can go on and on with stories of my dealings with IndyMac Bank,. I am soooooo tired of dealing with IndyMac Bank and getting nowhere! Is anyone out there that can help!

Denied HAMP mod due to imminent sale date.
IndyMac has denied my HAMP modification twice due to imminent foreclosure sale of the property. As others, I have applied several times for HAMP modification and have submitted all paperwork requested of me. IndyMac has given me a very hard time and have been given the runaround constantly. It is obvious they can not find a solid reason to deney me for the modification since I am certain we qualify. I requested a postponement of the sale date many times and was always told no. Finally the day before my home was due to be auctioned off I was granted a postponement for a month on the sale of my home. Of course, I had to get very upset on the phone ask to speak with a supervisor, etc. But of course, a supervisor is NEVER available to take a call. Now again I am denied for the same reason. IndyMac can not seem to find any other reason to deny me for, when they can change the sale date of my home easily. Isn't it what the HAMP program is for? To help families keep their homes and not become homeless. How convenient for banks to take money from the government for bailouts and supposedly to assist the those of us that want to keep our homes and have legitimate reasons for falling behind yet we are given the runaround consistently and our homes are being auctioned off. My husband and I have been very stressed having to deal with IndyMac Bank and not getting anywhere. All the bank has done is feed us lies after lies. I can go on and on with stories of my dealings with IndyMac Bank. I just hope my marriage can survive this foreclosure. I am soooooo tired of dealing with IndyMac Bank and getting nowhere! Is anyone out there that can help! Alicia Gutierrez

IndyMac Bank
I received our denial due to immient sale today. What's funny is that IndyMac was working with my Loan Modification group and told them everything was fine and moving forward. The right hand does not know what the left hand is doing there and they don't care. They have postponed our sale date several times and even stopped the sale date while they completed paperwork. Now they can't do anything! When is somebody (the gov't Ha Ha) going to actually step in and make them do what they're supposed to; keep people in their homes.

That determination does not address the rights of claimants regarding deposit claims. Back to top Why did the FDIC do this?The determination was made by the FDIC board of directors because substantially all of the assets of IndyMac were sold, but the amounts realized from the sale are insufficient to pay all of IndyMac's liabilities. The Federal Deposit Insurance Act establishes the priority for distributing funds from the liquidation or other resolution of an insured depository institution. The Act provides that administrative expenses and deposit liabilities must be paid in full before any distribution can be made to general unsecured creditors or any lower priority claims. Because the conclusion was inescapable that there are insufficient assets to make any distribution on general unsecured claims, it was appropriate to have an official statement to that effect. That is why the board of directors made the determination on November 12, 2009 that insufficient assets exist to satisfy any general unsecured creditor or lower priority claims. Back to top If the IndyMac receivership has no value, can I stop making my loan payments to IndyMac?No. Any obligation you agreed to undertake in connection with a loan made, owned, or serviced by IndyMac is unaffected by the FDIC's "insufficient assets" determination. That determination does not change your obligation to make the payments as called for in your loan agreement (or, if applicable, pursuant to a loan modification agreement). Back to top How does this affect my loan modification?The "insufficient assets" determination does not affect your loan modification. The terms of the loan modification are not changed as a result of this determination. You should perform your obligations as called for in the loan modification agreement. Back to top I did business with IndyMac and still have not been paid; all I received is a Receivership Certificate.Unfortunately, even though your claim may have been "allowed" by the Receiver, as evidenced by the Receivership Certificate, no assets will be distributed to you for this claim. Simply put, no money will be paid to you on the claim. Back to top I am an attorney representing a client who has open litigation against the Receivership. How does this affect our case?Your client will not be able to obtain any payment from the receivership, even if you successfully pursued the case and obtained a favorable judgment on the claim. Because courts have consistently dismissed actions on the ground of prudential mootness under these circumstances, the FDIC as Receiver is requesting that you voluntarily dismiss this litigation and provide the attorney representing the FDIC as Receiver with a court-conformed copy of the order within the next 30 days. If this is not forthcoming, counsel for the Receiver will proceed to file a motion to dismiss your client's action. While it is never easy counseling a client when further pursuit of a case is not appropriate, it may be helpful to share with your client that voluntarily dismissing the case will allow all parties to avoid the expenditure of unnecessary and wasteful attorney fees and costs and to conserve judicial resources. Back to top Can I write off on my taxes the loss of my deposit or investment in IndyMac?You may wish to consult a qualified tax advisor regarding the tax consequences in your individual situation.

INDYMAC/ONE WEST BANK
I am very frustrated at this point. I would have been happy to do a refinance but that was not an option because the LTV wouldn't work. I was told I had to miss payments to get either a short sale (which I do not want) or a loan modification. I did so and entered the lengthy process of sending and resending documents only to be told that they still don't have them. Then, miraculously, they are found while I am talking to one of their representatives on the phone and giving them date and time history which I have in a very detailed file. I have two letters that I received the same day in October. The first one is dated October 5th and asks me to physically sign a fax I sent explaining "other income" on my tax return of less than $700. The second is dated October 20th and it says I was denied for a loan modification because I didn't sign the letter I was asked to sign on the 5th and return it within 30 days! Of course the 20th is only 15 days after the 5th. The second time I was denied I was asked to send in a P & L for the period from August through October of last year. I asked if I should send it for the dates from September through November since it was the end of December. They said no, they wanted the August through October period. They also asked for a new 4506-T. I sent those in and called a week later as requested. That date they said I had to redo the RMA and they told me which pages they wanted me to fill out and return. I did that and sent it in first thing on the 8th. They told me to call back the following Wednesday or Thursday. I called back and they said everything was being reviewed and that I should call back in two days. I called back two days later and they said my file had been closed a week earlier (before the date they said everything was being reviewed) because it had been open too long. So of course I am very frustrated. I have done and redone documents, sent them in over and over again, and I still get a run around. Three other people I know started this process at the same time I did with other banks and they all had their permanent loan modifications by early Fall! And I am more qualified than any of them. I know I am qualified for the HAMP program and I know that I pass the NPV test as well.

IndyMac will not give me forbearance.
I had my mortgage modified under the HAMP program in May, 2010 with the help of an attorney. In November, 2010, I was let go from my job and have been unemployed for over 6 months. I have missed one month's mortgage payment. I called IndyMac and requested a forbearance period and sent in the required documents. My forbearance request was denied becuase "Your loan has been previously modified through the Home Affordable Modification Program". I have heard from many people and attorneys that forbearnce can be decided by the bank. How do I get IndyMac to help me?? Do I need professional help, i.e. an attorney?

Indymac/Onewest loan modification
OneWest Bank, formerly IndyMac is fraud, they would just give you the run around and say they have not received the docs, but out of nowher they find it, and by the time they find it they are all expired and it is time to start sending them the new docs again and this goes on and on, they want it to last it as long as they can, so then to your surprise there is a sale date, even though they will tell you it is on hold all ies, it is just they don't want you to take any actions, and once you find out and thinking they will either postpone or change that date until you come to an agreement guess what wrong again. By the time you find out what they are really asking for you ran out of time and there is the sales date which they have told you that the ssales is on hold and you thinking they will give you the decission before they sale the house wrong, they will keep the sales date and notify you they tried to change the date but the invenstor is not willing to do so. They just keep lying to everyone to the attornesy to people to the government. I think there must be someone who knows how to put a stop on this big banks which they can do what ever they want, and I and you the average Joe, since we do not have the money to fight them back at courts, have to drop our cases which they are very well aware of, end up wining. Please if anyone has any ideas please post them and get us all get united, one can not do much, but if there are enough of us maybe the least we can put a dent on this money hungry banks. So please if there is anyone out there with any ideas lets share.

IndyMac/OneWest Mortgage
My story is the same as everyone else's. They have screwed me over. We need to figure out if we should walk away or ask for "cash for keys". We have exhausted our savings, and we still owe $282,000 on our home. The house next door is in foreclosure and it is on the market for $24,000. (we live in Henderson NV). There are some condo's for sale for $27,000 and old houses for $55,000 in our area. We want to cash in some of our retirement money to buy one of these, so there will not be a mortgage. Can we do that? My attorney is telling me the only way to get out of the house is to file bankruptcy, and that would mean that if we bought anything within two years it would be taken away from us. I don't want to rent a place, the rents around here are really high, so buying would be our best option. This is horrible, we tried and tried to refinance with them, they strung us along for 8 months before saying I make too much money. Our mortgage payment is 2,142.00 a month and our income is now 1,820 a month. I don't see how that is too much money, but I know Indymac denies everyone. They also deny everyone on short sales, so the cash for keys seems to be the best way to go (although I have heard they deny everyone on that too). Does anyone have any suggestions? This is so stressful. My husband had just been rehired at his job, and worked for 4 months before being laid off again, he is not eligible for unemployment. I am disabled, and am taking care of my ailing 88 year old mother and my father just died 4 months ago. I know we will never be able to afford that house again. My husband is a construction worker and even if he finds another job, nothing pays as well as construction and there is nothing being built in Las Vegas anymore. I don't trust Indymac, and although I have a lawyer, he is swaying me to do one thing, but I don't know if it is in my best interest. Thank you

Ind/one west mort forced us into foreclosure ....
we fell behind 1 month and indymac/one west wanted some rediculous amount or wouldn't accept any payment. we then fell behind and after 6 months found out from other sources about a Modification. We thenwent through the very long process of them requesting stuff oveer and over and loosing all of our paperwork then finally got a modification. The 3 month trial period turned into 6 and 9 months into it they just stopped processing our payment. 3 months later we are being foreclosed on. After going through all the bull again they re-modified the loan again. Same thing, 6 months later just stopped processing our payment and after 3 monthas said we owed over ten-thousand dollars. So they are foreclosing on our home. 2 adults and 3 children with absolutly nowhere to go and no money! Get the best lawyer you can and go after these bastards or you too will end up on the streets!!! no bull.

Indymac sucks class action law suit
After getting behind in my payments back in April, me and my husband deciding to apply for a loan modification. We want to a certified HUD agency to prepare the paperwork, fax the paperwork to indymac bank, got a loan modification agreement that as of 8/1/09 my payments would be lowered, and the back interest would be drop. I was told by a representative at indymac bank not to pay any payments, because I sent them a bank certified check in the new amount that would be due on 8/1/09. 8/1/09 rolled around no one contacted me so I called them up, they send sorry your loan modification was denied, and now you owe 7,000 in back payments, and interest fees. Not one person at Indymac bank called me to let me know what was happening, the reason it was denied they feel my husband fraudulently made up his own paychecks on Microsoft's word, I was so outrage about this that they were calling my husband a liar. My husband works 6 days a week 8 hours a day and you are calling him a liar, this people are insane!!!Trying to get some help and who I can contact about this issue Please Help Karen
