I don't even want to give BECU one star! I have banked with them since I was 14 and am 41 now. I trusted them so I bought my first home with them in June of 2007, right before the recession hit. I purchased the home with my current bf who I am still on good terms with. We lived in the house for a year together and then two years broken up because we could not sell the condo for what we owed due to the econonomy. Finally we just had to give up and BECU had us out of there in exactly one year. They turned around and sold the condo for $100k less than we bought it for. The law in WA State that lenders had to mediate with homeowners had just passed but they legally did not have to meet with me because at that time smaller institutions had that option. So they opted not to work with me. They turned me out of my home that I could have easily afforded for the price they sold it to someone else for. I loved my home and my neighbors. It still upsets me even though it's been two years. Shame on them. There whole "people first" ad campaign makes me want to puke.
