I have a file with a USAA heloc. The homeowner is in foreclosure because she is way behind on her first lien, however she never stopped making payments on the USAA heloc because the payment is only $50 - The seller has agreed to sign a promissary note for the full balance, and additionally the first lien is willing to contribute $3k to usaa. USAA countered me and is saying they won't release the lien unless they get $15,000 at close of escrow and she signs a promissary note for the full balance of $30k.
I have never worked a usaa file before and have no contacts. Does anyone have any contacts over there at USAA?

I can tell you from multiple experiences with USAA this is standard operating procedure for them. 15K is a little high but they are super tough to deal with. It is surprising since they are supposed to be for the troops and all and their members are all military affiliated in some way. But I guess they only care about those members that are not in dire financial circumstances.
Ive been fighting with USAA for over a year now.. Only now, thanks to the state of California and the SB458 law, my cleints cant give them a promissory note, or cash at close even though the want to... Any ideas? According to SB458 USAA is claiming that they can not take money from anyone other than the first lien holder... But the first lien holder BofA is only willing to give 6% of the total debt owed which is $48,500.00... USAA is demanding 50% of the debt cash at close or they wont approve the short!!! SO frustrating... ANyone have any contacts at USAA that could help me push ths thrugh? The first lien holder is ready to get me an approval letter if I can get USAA to cooperate...
How are they going to collect $15,000 AND the full debt? I have negotiated these current ones to release their lien for a flat fee..usually about $5,000 and the Borrower agrees to continue making payments on their note after the Short Sale closes.
Good grief! Good luck with this one..boneheads!
I'm a short-seller that is about to enter negotiations with USAA on my HELOC (2nd lien). I'm in the same boat as Joshua's client. I owe them close to $30,000 and I'm current on my payments which run about $58 per month. The first lien is a Fannie Mae mortgage, so they will not contribute more than $1,800 (6%) to USAA.
I've read many posts both here and at other forums about how difficult they can be and the ridiculous demands they have made, so I'm prepared for the worst. However, I have not seen many follow ups on what the final outcome was. For those who have dealt with USAA in the past, what can I ultimately expect if I refuse to bow to their demands? I'm willing to work with them within reason to close the sale, but I will not be held hostage. The only asset we own of any value is our 401Ks and we are already in our late 40s. I will repay every dime in the form of a promissory note with a small cash contribution up front, but I will not cash out our 401Ks and mortgage our future just to appease USSA.
Thanks in advance,
Tom
