In search of the best mortgage rates, I contacted experion.com and my info was forwarded to three online mortgage companies. After a scary experience with Quickenloans I checked this website and was able to cancel before they charged me a $500 application fee. I was not so lucky with PennWest, they asked for my card info for the credit check and immediately charged my bankcard without permission and without any commitment or signature on my part.
They said they misunderstood and would refund the $500 but I had told them of my experience with Quicken and they did the exact thing I was worried about. Are all these companies unethical? I have filed a complaint with my bank and can only hope if PennWest is as dishonest as they appear to be that Wachovia will help me pursue them legally. Luckily my niece is a lawyer as is her fiance, but what about people without that connection? These financial people are as bad as any thief.
