This also for Laura. Go to the sight mortgage Expo. you put in some details and they will match you up to lenders who deal with some of our circumstances with FB. I on the other hand tried Ameriquest and can't get help until FB corrects my credit report which I was told would be done and has yet to be. Good Luck I hope at least some of us if not all get out from under them maybe we can put them out of business if we can all get away from them and warn the rest of the country not to do business with them. The thing that bothers me most is the majority of us got sold to them not that we saught them out and now trying to get away from them seems impossible because they make you look like your a low life and don't pay your bills. I know of a couple of places you might try Indy- mac and Oaktree. I think to the most scary of refinancing is how do you know you won't get sold to FB again ? I ask that question to lenders that I have tried with if they do business with FB or any of the other names they use. Hope this works for you.

I am Laura in Palatine, Illinois who filed a report on this company in July. We tried for about 8 months to refinance and were not successful. We have no credit card debt, no car payments (both were paid off), no other debt othen than the mortgage. We have owned our property for 15 years. If you think you can help us I would love to talk to you. Please provide contact information. Thanks.

I have recently helped one customer who's life was being ruined by Fairbanks and would gladly help out others. I am a mortgage broker and am disgusted by this company's tactics. Anyone who has a mortgage with Fairbanks should get away from them immediately. Even though your credit has been destroyed, there are loan programs available to enable you to do this. Provided that your only bad credit history is with Fairbanks and you can document your timely payments, you should be able to find a lender that will listen. Due to low interest rates, most mortgage brokers are too busy refinancing the cream of the crop than dealing with situations that might need some explaining.
