When I googled this company I found the same as everyone - Refi and also an ad on Craigslist looking for "closers". The same as a previous post, I remember filling out an interest form for Countrywide a few days ago and I have gotten a few calls now from various refinance companies. Shame on Countrywide!
Applied for Countrywide quote through Yahoo ad. Never heard from them, but got numerous calls from AMG-Refipal. Finally talked to them, and they 'heard I was interested in refinancing', but wouldn't say how they knew. Hmmm. Never heard of them. Said a broker would call me back in 10 minutes with a quote, haven't heard yet. Didn't ask for SSN.
I received a call from this number and answered the phone. The caller said he was with a mortgage company and asked if I had recently contacted their company to refinance my mortgage. I had not and told him I was not interested in his services. Approximately two hours later, a call from the same number was received. I did not answer this call.
Hi Elanor,
I just read your email and I couldnt believe it...it sounded just like my story. I actually got a VP at Countrywide to admit that one of the sales people at Countrywide may have shared my information with other companies. She said that this was not tolerated at Countrywide, but it seems to be happening quite often to people like you and me who contact them to refinance.
