Need help with your mortgage from Chase or WaMu?
The bank has announced that it’s opening a Northgate Homeownership Center at 155 N.E. 100th St., Executive Suite 120, with an official opening scheduled from 9-10 a.m. Tuesday, Aug. 16. In a news release, Chase explains why it’s opening the homeownership center, which is the state’s second.
Chase continues its commitment to help borrowers who are struggling with their mortgage payments. A cornerstone of our foreclosure prevention initiatives is opening Chase Homeownership Centers in communities hit hard by the housing crisis. Open six days a week with day and evening hours, the Homeownership Centers reflect the bank’s commitment to families hit hard by the nation’s economic challenges. Please join us as we open this center, and fortify our efforts in your area.
The homeownership center offers trained advisers who can assist customers whose circumstances have changed and are no longer able to make their scheduled monthly payment, and who want to avoid foreclosure and stay in their home. The trained advisers will evaluate their finances, review possible workout options and answer any questions.
Customers are encouraged to set up appointments in advance, and to bring documentation, including recent W-2s and tax forms, recent pay stubs, bank statements and monthly expense documentation, as well as information such as a hardship letter to help explain their current financial challenges.

Dan writes truth. Although there are no BECU Neighborhood Centers in Maple Leaf, I refinanced with BECU last month when it introduced the right loan product, after twelve years with a local bank. Google “Chase mortgage customer reviews” to see the first page of the result set. Then replace “Chase” with “Verity Credit Union” or “Salal Credit Union” or “Alaska USA Federal” or “BECU” and notice the differences.
Chase is a fairly predatory lender, personally I would avoid banks like Chase and B of America and use a local credit union. They are nicer, locally owned, and will give you better rates.
