I applied for a HELOC with Flagstar due… I applied for a HELOC with Flagstar due to their advertisment of low / no fees. I lived in Michigan previously and knew the name. My credit report was pulled immediately. I was presented with a list of items to submit which I returned indicating higher "income" changes would show within 60 days. I was declined due to debt/income ratio without considering the increased income. Further, the loan/to/value ratio (their calculation) was less than 70%. I do no care about the line of credit. What I care about is the negative impact on my credit report for 2 years. CONSUMERS be mindful that all credit inquiries remain on your credit report for 2 years. As few as 3 will lower your credit score. My personal opinion is that lenders should pre-qualify based upon a "soft-pull" of your credit.

Flagstar bank is possibly the worst… Flagstar bank is possibly the worst bank Ever in the history of Banks. I can’t understand how the federal government allows them to continue in business. I worked with them for two full years, 24 payments, when they were threatening to foreclose on my home, even though the payments were coming out of my bank account. After two years and an attorney, I discovered Flagstar bank gave me two account numbers so the money I was paying in mortgage was going into someone else’s account. Flagstar stated they knew this but “” Just didn’t fix it. Don’t use this bank if you can avoid it.

I am a customer with them and have been… I am a customer with them and have been for several years. I always make my payments on time. Recently, I accidentally double paid my mortgage. I asked that the second payment be refunded. I have been given the run around for refund the extra payment. The keep emailing me and asking for proof documents to include a print of their payment system, my back records, evidence I have a positive balance, ect... They just keep asking for more documents to delay the refund. When I call no one from the refund office will take my call. This place is a joke. Customer service is terrible. Their refund policy is terrible.

Everyone else has already said it so well...the worst! Everyone else has already said it so well, in a nutshell: this is an absolute joke of a mortgage holding company. Want a tangible example? In the year 2023 A.D., they don't have a functional app. And the browser platform gives all kinds of (inaccurate) error messages, setting up auto-pay is a nightmare, they call you over and over without saying why. Truly difficult to imagine there could be any options worse than them. Like so many others, I had no choice in the matter. C'mon, Flagstar, get your SH&T together!

Worst bank Worst bank! I discovered that my deposits are not being added to my balance. Just found over $800 not added to my balance. As of last Fridays balance, plus added deposits, minus deductions, there is over $800 missing. I’m closing my account asap!!
