Same as most of the complaints already filed on usacomplaints.com. I received a dishonest and completely skewered appraisal. I was precluded from getting a decent re-fi on a house I bought in 2006 due to loan-to-value issue resulting from a crap appraisal.
The agent I spoke with was wonderfully positive in late October when I contacted him. Told me we could get a better interest rate and lower monthly note in as fast as a month.By mid-December, I still hadn't gotten anything back from him other than I needed to "get higher comps in my area".
After pestering a real-estate friend of mine to give me sales in my neighborhood within the past year for similar houses sold at higher values, Quicken could only tell me they'd re-fi at $131000 (8K more than what I paid on the house back on 2006). I would also need to bring $10K to closing. Great deal, huh?
Quicken asked me for an application fee of $350 and I paid it with a credit card. I still haven't seen the appraisal. I'm glad I printed my application off their lame website otherwise I'd have no proof of this transaction at all. I went back to my loan today - all the information was gone. Maybe Quicken is just in the market of making a fast fee instead of underwriting mortgages?
I thought after making payments for 2 years on this house and with the recent guv-ment bailout of the predatory and slimy mortgage and housing industry, I'd have a chance of a decent re-fi loan.
I got taken for $350. I'll write it off on my taxes next year.
