Anyone use Flagstar Bank? (HELOC)

I am searching for financing and I spoke with one of the the mortgage loan advisor and their options look very good for a HELOC on my current SFH. However I searched the bank and it's reviews and found many bad ratings. Most sounded pretty petty and about illogical unexpected fees and more about customer service. Mind you I am in NY and they have locations all over the USA. Didn't see many complaints in NY but very off-putting as a whole. No one wants a problematic institution out the gate.

Anyone have experience with Flagstar Bank? Please share experiences 

(Other HELOC recommendations welcome)

    Bump. Posted late last night. Realize it might be buried by now. 

    Any one have experience with Flagstar Bank?

    @Jared W Smith You've likely moved on by now but...my mortgage was sold to Flagstar several years ago and I have nothing but good things to say about them. The rare times I've had to speak with them via phone or correspond via email, I found their customer service excellent. Their website is really well-designed and has some great tools like calculators. I've been very please with them overall and am planning on hitting them up for a HELOC myself.
    If you ended up going with them, I'd be interested to know how it's going.

    I didn't go along with them however I am still considering. Thank you for your insight.

    @Jared W Smith

    We have a mortgage through Flagstar. I have found it easier to work with them than Wells Fargo or Chase.
