Quicken Loans - Rock Financial Poorly Trained Rip-Off Artists -- the customer pays for their incompetance Livonia, Michigan

Hi! Kelly here from Quicken Loans. First off, thanks for posting about your experience. We have absolutely nothing to hide and are more than happy to work through the issues you have with us.

I'd like to first mention that I am absolutely here replying to client reviews because I do want to help. I am more than willing and capable of helping anyone who wishes to contact me and hope I've made that clear so far. I am always available to research any problem for any client. My job is not to market us here - this site is obviously not here to make us look good - my job is to help solve problems and provide our side of the story when necessary. Since you state you've seen my rebuttals (which always includes my contact info - Kelly@QuickenLoans.com), I truly wish you would have contacted me so this could have been taken care of quicker. That is, in fact, why I respond. To help.

Having now gone over your loan and your complaint with the BBB, I fully understand what happened. And while we've responded to you personally and through the BBB, I'm more than happy to reiterate that here.

Your banker, Jon, was wrong for not asking you about the type of property you have in the beginning. And he did promise you a full refund (which you have received). To be clear about the deposit we collected and the fact you say we took it before you "submitted any papers" - we DO NOT EVER charge anyone's card before we have a signed application from them. That application, which you signed, very clearly explains the deposit. When you signed it, agreeing to the deposit and to applying to get a loan from us, we then charge your deposit. For more information on our deposit policy, I do recommend that you check your application, specifically the document you signed entitled "Interest Rate Disclosure." You're also encouraged to check out the page we have on our website with clearly explains our deposit policy - https://www.quickenloans.com/about/quicken-loans-deposit

When we found out we could not finance your property, we immediately (on 08/18/09) refunded you $388.86 of your $400 refund, which is customary when we deny a loan for ineligible property type. The remaining $11.14 was retained to pay for your credit report. When we were informed Jon promised you a FULL refund and you had not received it, we did refund the remaining $11.14 on 09/10/09.

I apologize that you spent your time contacting us to get your $11.14 back. However, we have done exactly what we had promised you we would do. We gain nothing by upsetting a client that we cannot do business with.

While you may not believe it, Jon (the banker) has been spoken to and has received additional training in order to avoid such situations in the future. We sincerely apologize for the delay and inconvenience this has caused you. Even though we cannot help you with your loan, you are certainly important to us, as all clients are.

Again, we're sorry for the delay. I'm glad to know that your deposit has been refunded in full. Please let me know if there is anything else I can do for you. I am available.

Kelly,

While the world must admire your attempt to help another dissatisfied Quicken customer, people like me realize that this little forum is the only way that she got what she wanted and was promised!

Why do we have to go to a public forum before we are treated like you would treat your parents!  She got her money back in full, but it took your help through this channel.

I would really like to know why Quicken quit selling the Quicken Advantage loan any more?  Is it because the promise to refinance someone every 3 months at no cost was a rediculous claim?  Why is it that everyone consumers speak to at Quicken or Rock is impatient and never fully discloses what risks a consumer has with a product?  If they did, maybe my foreclosure through Quicken for the predatory loan you sold me would have been overted.

Interestingly, Quicken came to "me" about 5 months after we closed promising me over $50K of principle write-down just so they could sell the loan.  Then because Quicken took several months to do it I finally was laid off, and then left in the dust.  Why would Quicken have done the loan in the 1st place if it needed to be paid down to get sold?

Is the number of bad loans in Quicken's quiver about $20B or has it jumped up?  (This number came from one of your employees, and I will not reveal that person's name.)  Sad as it seems, that I made a mistake, Quicken knew "full well" what mistake I might be faced with (oblivious to me) and never fully disclosed!  Now a foreclosure is on the doorstep.  Thank you for the loan that kicks me out on the street!  This nightmare is my reality, and apparently your loan modification folks will not follow Obama's plan to save homes.  He's even giving money to banks that do!  Are you worried that if he gives money to your firm that they will investigate all the predatory loans you sold?

I would file this complaint as a report:
