WaMu Sucks!

I am so frustrated I feel compelled to share. Attached is an excel spreadsheet of every call I made to Chase for my loan mod. Today was the last straw! The rep today asked why I woudl keep track of my calls on how that would help my loan mod go any quicker. I was shocked at such a statement and when I demanded a supervisor, she told me I am not entiltled to speak with one.

Please look at all my wasted time over the year that has accomplished nothing but giving Chase's fax machine a good workout!

Beginning in Decmeber 2008, I made several calls were made to Wamu prior to this log
I asked what help was available and was told NONE every time
Only in January 2009 did I decide to start tracking everything to document my efforts Loan Dept.

read statement that loan mod will impact credit report for no payment
Stated my loan went to loan processing (confirmed same as underwriting) on November 9th
I asked why the date change, could not give a reason, got attitude from rep immediately
I told her I document these calls and know my file was in underwriting on 9/12/09
She asked why do I document these calls "what will that accomplish"
I stated so I know where I am at in the process, and keep on dates when things are supposed to happen
She responded that will not help my modification get processed any faster
stated a loan mod is an application
I specifically asked if paying skipping a mortgage payment would derail this process. Stated no
Requested a supervisor call back on why underwriting dates changed and was denied - not a reason for a supervisor call back.
No supervisor would call me back. I asked what justifies a supervisor call back. No response.
Just kept asking if there is anything else she can help we with today
My call seemed to be a major inconveince to her.
