Lack of accountability and professionalism!

We reached out to CrossCountry Mortgage after being invited to join their “Refinance Club,” which was supposed to offer specific waived fees. What a disappointment it turned out to be nothing more than a sales pitch and one of the most stressful, unprofessional experiences we’ve ever had.We worked with Jacqueline Clay and the James Beard Team, and from day one we were given conflicting information about our credit and payments. Their third-party verification company (Factual Data) reported false late payments, and we spent hours trying to fix their mistakes. Calls went unanswered, we were transferred around, and the communication was terrible.When I brought up concerns, Jacqueline was rude and condescending, saying things like “You just don’t listen, Devina,” and “Wow, you don’t appreciate what I’ve done for you.” She even said, “Devina, you worked in finance, you should understand,” which is ridiculous. I’ve never worked in finance, I just ran my own small business and did payroll. At one point, she even told me, “I’ll work on your file, but don’t tell your husband.” That was completely unethical and inappropriate.When I reported her behavior to James Beard, he brushed it off, saying, “She’s really put herself out there for you she works late and sometimes does too much to try and help, even when I’ve told her it’s not possible. She makes miracles happen.” That kind of response showed a complete lack of accountability within their team.After weeks of wasted time, stress, and misinformation, we finally walked away and refinanced through Guild Mortgage, who found no late payments, no credit dings, and got us a cash-out refinance at a great rate all without the chaos or disrespect.I would not recommend CrossCountry Mortgage or the James Beard Team to anyone. Save yourself the frustration and go somewhere that treats you with honesty and respect.
