Guardian Asset Management deemed my home as abandoned. Due to a mail issue I never received correspondence that this company would enter my home and change my locks. This company also stole my washer and dryer, cameras, heaters, and water heater out of my home that was going to be a rental. These people are horrible.Business Response

Hello - Guardian was hired by Loancare to complete an inspection on your property. We have your property marked as occupied in our system so no one will be changing your locks. I would give Loancare a call to discuss any loan information and confirm all is up to date with your mortgage.Initial Complaint

This was a business allegedly hired by our mortgage company WITHOUT our knowledge. Our home is temporarily vacant while my husband works out of state for Military reasons. This company broke into our home, changed our locks, and placed signs on our window and front door stating they were in management of the home and to call if the home wash actually vacant. We found this out on April 254,2024. We immediately contacted the company which stated our mortgage company wont allow them to give us access to the home. We contacted the mortgage company and they stated they did hire them but they were not instructed to break in or change the locks. Upon gaining entry to our home on our own, I found that our property had been destructed in the form of: trash can emptied onto our mattress in the room. A toilet brush and plunger thrown on mattress as well as multiple different items that we had in our closet and bathroom. They moved many things as well as stole dollar bills from a jar and our lawn mower. They also winterized my home. We live in ******* and the home was not in danger of damage. We did not ask for any of these things to be done and they took it upon themselves to do so. Took all the window coverings off the windows so My home was hot and exposed, showing its temporary vacancy. We covered the windows to protect the home from intruders. We did not receive any notifications of any of this. No correspondence at all. The home is in preforclosure but we have been in contact with the mortgage company and are working to reverse this. Non the less we still have full ownership of the home, it is not up for sale. We were not served with any eviction papers or anything to give any right for them to take over our home.Business Response

On 3/21/24 I came home to a note left on my door that Guardian Asset Management LLC left stating my home was vacant/abandoned and my mortgage company hired them to do an inspection. It also stated that they would be back in a few days to change the locks and winterize the home. This is false and my house is indeed occupied and up to date on mortgage payments. I contacted my mortgage company and they said they didn't hire this company nor have they ever heard of them before. This is a scam and illegal!! They have no right to trespass on my property let alone change my locks and enter my home. Guardian better take my information out of their system because if someone comes back onto my property they will be sorry! I have filed a police report with camera footage showing the individuals who trespassed. From looking at all the other complaints about this company it is a joke and they hire outside people to break into your home and steal from you. I have a family living here and I will protect them at all cost! Do not come back onto my property again!Business Response

My children and I arrived home to find a notice from this company on my gate. The property is definitely not abandoned or vacant. It still has livestock and other animals on it and human occupant and activity. It suffered fire damage and the main structure is not habitable ant the moment, but its a large property. It is under contract due to divorce.. I’ve left messages for return calls to no avail. My exhusband who is the co-owner has verified that the mortgage company did not send them. My home has been vandalized and stolen from. The mortgage company has a large escrow account that is maintaining the payments. Since I haven't been able to reach the company, and I see so many horror stories I am putting this here and taking the property cameras to the sherriff for review to see who was there and removing my children's thingsBusiness Response

Hello - We leave those notices up so that you are able to get in contact with us to explain that it is not vacant. With a partially burnt down structure we can probably agree that it was an educated decision to mark the property as such. In addition, we will also research as to why no one returned your calls as that should not be happening. ********** most certainly knows who we are as we are under the same umbrella, however their customer service lines aren't informed of what their property preservation department does each day. I can tell you that we would not have been ordered to inspection unless the mortgage was in some default status. We have informed the team to mark the property as occupied as all we did was complete an inspection and nothing else.Business Response

We lost our home in the flooding in fort lauderdale in April of 2023.Our mortgage company has contracted with guardian to do the inspections for the progress reports on the reconstruction. These inspections are required for release of funds to do the property construction. The inspectors keep lying to the mortgage company and under estimating the work that was completed. In early November they came to inspect and reported we were living in the house and had removed all of the previous work setting the completed work percentage to 0% when it was set at 60% in August. The mortgage company sent guardian back a 2nd time November 17. They reported that no work had been done even though significantly more work was completed and reported only 60% completion a 2nd time. This company is blocking us from returning to our home by intentionally reporting false information to the mortgage company. They do not answer thier phone or return messages left. I do not want the same inspector coming to the house. He will only take pictures and ignores explaination of work that has been completed.Business Response

Hello - We are hired to report what we see. From the report it doesn't show nothing was being reported as done and also certain areas were reported as being fully completed. Guardian is required to simply report what has been done and what still needs to be done. Someone from our team will call you to review the report and adjust anything that needs to be adjusted. Please know that we are not trying to keep you from getting back into your house and only reporting back in progress repairs at your property.Initial Complaint

On 11/21/2023 Guardian Asset Management or it's agent broke into my deceased mother's home unlawfully and posted a notice on the door that the property was now under their control. This home is not in foreclosure as of this writing and has not been abandoned. I have contacted the mortgage servicer to advise them I am the Administrator of the Estate and will be filing criminal charges for breaking and entering, forced entry and for anything that may have been stolen or damaged during their entry into the house. They have been advised they may take possession of the home once all foreclosure proceedings have been completed.Business Response
