Pros: None.
Cons: Cagey, unhelpful, rude.

I called Countrywide while I was shopping around for a refinance. I had only a 10-minute conversation with them, but it was more than enough to cross Countrywide off my list. The loan consultant wouldn't give me information about their "rates and ...

Pros: Smooth closing

Cons: Making you pay with certified funds if you're on a repayment plan.

Pros: cannot think of single one
Cons: They are heartless CONS and should be avoided at all costs.

Pros: None
Cons: Un experienced staff/no customer service skills.

This has been the worst experience I have ever had closing on a loan. This is my 4th time closing, I feel like I was very misinformed from the beginning. I signed all my documents and returned any information they requested very quickly thinking this ...

Pros: Dont have any at all!
Cons: Lies, no responses.

In May 2007 I wanted to get a pre-approval for a new home. Countrywide told me that I would have to bring my credit score up by 20 points and in order to do this I would have to re-finance my existing loan and pay down some bills. Well, they did ...
