My husband and I met Arlee Rodrigues through Walden Mortgage Co. (2703 6th Ave. Tacoma, WA 98406) where she was employed at the time. We were looking for help in purchasing a home in another county. Ms. Rodgrigues was having difficulties finding us a lender through Walden Mortgage. She asked to meet us at the local mall and offered to buy the home we had found through her and her husband's own Mortgage Company. Since we were in a bind having sold our home already we readily agreed. The plan was to do a 1 year lease and finance the home from them at that time. We gave her $7,500.00 for closing costs the following year. The house payment was $860.00 per month but we agreed to $1,300.00 with the balance over the actual mortgage payment going toward a down payment. We asked several times for a lease agreement but never recieved anything in writing. One year later when we are ready to purchase Ms. Rodrigues kept putting off the sale of the home claiming that she was unable to find an appraiser in our area.
This went on for 6 months.in the mean time due to a layoff it was getting more and more difficult to make the house payments; then our credit score slipped. She told us to find some one else to finance the house. We paid another $1,000.00 to yet another mortgage company as ernest money, but because of hard times financially he was unable to get us a 100% loan. Since Ms. Rodrigues had our $7,500.00 we had no more to put down. Now we are without a home and out all of this money. (26,000. Since Jan. 2001) We had to come up with another $1,800.00 to move into another home. We have lived here almost 3 years now, and have nothing to show for it. My son will have to attend another school, I have to sell my horse. This has been extrememly difficult on our family. Can anyone help?
