Sorry I had major Computer problems and took this long to respond.... Ok no nationwide co will refi us... but if your credit score is good enough try a local bank. I just applied with xxx trust here in Delaware so we will see.. Even if the rate is higher I am going for it because once I show I can pay it I will be able to refi... vanderbilt has made my families life a living hell

We had chase when we first financed and after about 3 years, Vanderbilt assumed our loan. I tried to get it refinanced through several different companies, and all told me that Vanderbilt was "cornering the market" on all Manufactured Home Loans. I even had one person tell me that, if you weren't financed initially with them....they would eventually get your loan. So, tread lightly...Do lots of research, because if you don't watch it....you will be here with all us other ones, who are fighting these people.

Dear Phillips, To answer your question: Berkshire Hathaway out of Omaha Nebraska. They own Vanderbilt, Clayton Homes and what used to be Oakwood. They own most of the shares to Wells Fargo as well. They own Geico and a few other finacial and insurance companies as well as a major fast food chain. Be careful, there are other companies that Berkshire does not own but are also preditors. We determined the Mortgage Lender we have for our current property by checking the Attorney General's Office of the home state of the company by simply asking. "Is there currently, expected or previous lidigation or investigation on this company?" They may not give you the details but usually answer with a yes or no. If they don't answer, assume the company is not ligite. Most importantly, check the company on Rip-Off Report. I would never have concidered purchasing another house without Ripp-Off Report. After the trauma of Vanderbilt, I find myself still checking my mortgage company with Rip-Off as well as watching thier stock on the market. If they get in financial trouble, I fear, they will become an inviting purchase for Berkshire Hathaway. . . For added assurance, We chose a VA Home Loan, it all has to go through and is monitored by the VA.

Many of the people writing in requard to vanderbilt, have hinted that they are linked to other mortage companies...Do you care to share your information. We are trying to refinance to get away from vanderbilt. And want to be VERY sure, we're in their NET again.... thank you,

Hello, I am having the same problem with vanderbilt and I wanted to know if anyone has been able to help you guys with your problem. I was wondering if there's a class action lawsuit that we could all join in on. I have posted my own ripoff report that is similiar to yours only I financed with vanderbilt after a bankruptcy and they told me if I made all payments after a year that I could refinance, I made all my payments on time and they refuse to refinance and every other bank I try to get refinanced through tells me the same thing, they can't refinance existing vanderbilt customers. This should be against the law. They are preying on people like us and it is very unfair!
