Mr. Cooper lender report: reviews and complaint record
Mr. Cooper, recently acquired by Rocket Mortgage, offers a digital application and on-time closing guarantee, with a strong record of timely responses to CFPB complaints. However, it faces significant criticism for its mortgage servicing, evidenced by a very low 0.2% complaint relief rate and frequent borrower issues with payments and customer support. Prospective borrowers should be aware of generally higher rates and fees, along with a history of regulatory issues related to servicing practices.

Complaint volume tracks servicing portfolio size, so compare the mix of issues rather than raw totals.
What works well: Mr. Cooper offers a digital application process that can provide a "VerifiedApproval letter in four hours." The company provides an "on-time closing guarantee," which can benefit borrowers seeking efficient loan finalization. Mr. Cooper responded to 100% of complaints filed in the CFPB Consumer Complaint Database on time.
What to watch: Only 0.2% of Mr. Cooper's mortgage complaints in the CFPB database were "Closed with relief," indicating a very low resolution rate for consumer issues. Borrowers frequently report significant difficulties with servicing, including misapplication of payments, problems with insurance and taxes, and unexpected fees. Mr. Cooper's customer service and communication are consistently criticized, ranking "well below average" by J.D. Power and receiving "multiple criticisms" in other reviews.
