I did an assumption due to divorce. I could not get a phone conversation for well over a month even after reaching out repeatedly. No one could explain the process or seemed to understand how to do an assumption. I would have happily gone to a lawyer and had them set up all the steps needed if just asked. They did a transfer sale as that was the only way they knew how to move forward costing a significant amount of unnecessary taxes. I only started to get movement/communication once we were at close. The next title escrow officer with 30 years experience was blown away at how poorly this was handled. I would never recommend veterans united ever. My team could have googled how to do an assumption or used the instructions off of your own website. The day before close they were trying to get me to pay expenses that are not even on the buyer to pay because they never got included in the paperwork. I can’t say enough bad things about this transaction, I could write a book.
Response from Veterans United
Hi Nadia,
I’m really sorry for how this was handled. Going through a divorce is difficult enough, and not being able to get clear answers or timely communication about a loan assumption only adds to that stress. I understand why you’re frustrated.
You’re right that assumptions are more nuanced than a standard transaction, and it’s disappointing to hear that you felt your questions weren’t answered or that the process wasn’t clearly explained. I’m especially sorry that you felt forced into a transfer sale and incurred additional costs as a result, and that issues around fees weren’t addressed until right before closing. That’s not the experience we want for anyone.
I’d appreciate the chance to look into this further and better understand what happened from start to finish. If you’re open to it, please reach out to our Client Advocate team so we can review the details and make sure your feedback is shared with the right teams internally. You can reach us at 1-800-212-5200 or ClientAdvocate@vu.com.
Our office hours are 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Central Time, Monday through Friday. If you contact us outside those hours, we typically respond the next business day.
