Let me first say that I was one of the lucky ones to have a home built in decent condition. It did take longer that expected, however, we were young and excited about owning our own home; so we dealt with the delays. After reading all of the reports of poorly built homes by JWH, I feel a little comforted but not much.

We had our home built in 1993. I guess because the market was not so bad we lucked out with a decent builder. There were a few problems but not many. We really did not have any problems until about 5 years ago when we decided to rent the home out to some friends. It has been down hill ever since.

First, our payments have been late a few times due to crossing in the mail or not seeing the renters due to vactions, but we usually get them before the 30 day marker. We have been yelled at, accused of being thieves and even had JWH employee's show up at the rental house and give information to our renters, scarring them into thinking they would foreclose.

In 2007 we were in a car wreck, lost the truck, spent a week in the hospital with my 14 yr old daughter and a shattered femur, my 17 year old ran away (teens) and my mom died. This is all in one year mind you and we were late several times on the house note but always paid it through Western Union. Did any of this seem to concern Mr. Wendell Dixon or Chuck Esloon? Not at all, instead the harrassment got worse. So bad we had to get an Attorney.

Our Attorney has spoke with them several times and has instructed them via mail not to contact us;however, they are relentless. Well I am just sick and tired. We owe around 15K on this home and that is it. We have been told by a good friend that worked in the Houston office for several years that they harrass people out of thier homes. She said they foreclose on property that can be resold at their advantage.

We have been told by a Mr. Lorry Mckearnen "not to make another payment on the home." Like that will work? He has also told us "just let it go, you can't afford it." No wonder JWH is closing their doors. I have a hard time believing that any company can continue business with ethics like this.

From what I understand, JWH will not be building homes, however they may be using a different name. If you have been harrassed and you know that you are current or have made arrangements to pay and have this in writing, do not continue to speak to them. Call a lawyer, I have a great one if you are unsure of who to call. Just contact me and I will give you her number.

It is sad that people are losing their homes or having to endure such relentless torture just because these men mentioned above are on a power trip. I have read horror stories on this website and I am honestly disgusted. PLEASE do not back down from these monsters! Reply to this report and lets get started on ridding the world of crooks like these!

The mortgage company is JWH/Mid State. I did have my home built by JWH and there were some problems with the home, I was blest to not have some of the problems others have had; however, I have had 5 years of being bullied by this company and I have done nothing wrong. I wanted to let people know that this is not a good company all the way around. Have you read anything else on this site? Not only have they built crappy houses but they bully people.

So what is your confusion? I am justified with my complaints. Do you have any?

Sick and Tired,

You say you built your home in 1993 and have been happy with it and the builder.

Did you mean this complaint to be about your mortgage company?

You must be one of them

AUTHOR: Sick And Tired - (U.S.A.)

POSTED: Thursday, February 12, 2009

I have started due process, and the laws that they have broken have been of the fair debt collections act. I have no issue with people just doing there job, but when you start harrassing people just because you can, that is not only illegal but unethical and dirty. You must be one of them. Which, hey, if you want to take the side of, and be named as, ruthless, hateful and unethical be my guest. Laws should be obeyed by all. I have paid my bills, did I have financial issues for a while, who has not. Seems to me with the market the way it is, JWH would be nicer and work with people so they can collect instead breaking laws to get what they want.

Whatever, they are closing the doors on for them and as far as I am concerned that is a good thing. Hope your job is not one in question. Then again, if you handle business this way, I hope it is.

If there are laws against what they did, then take them to court.

You would not have a case, it is your word against theirs. People on the telephone are often rude when they think you owe them money. Either way, this is not a rip off.

You missed it!

Inspector,

You miss the whole point. I did not have a problem with them calling me, I had a problem with the means by which they chose to use. Screaming and accusing people of being thieves and liars is not a way to conduct business. I beleive there are laws against all of the things I complained about. I pay my bills and I have learned to keep up with my records. Maybe as a mortgage company, JWH should do the same and not make false accusations!

What is sad is the loss of integrity in this company! Is that not what they claim to have?

It is sad

AUTHOR: Inspector - (U.S.A.)

POSTED: Wednesday, February 11, 2009

Sad that people don't get it...when you owe money, you must pay your bills. The banks and mortgage companies are a buisness not a charity.

Everyone has problems with family, by the way, renting still makes you responsible for the mortgage payment, but many still pay on time. If you cannot except that maybe you should not borrow money.
