Quicken Loans responded to our internet request for quotes from lenders regarding the refinancing of our mortgage. After some discussion, we decided to proceed and give them our detailed financial information so they could put together the numbers for us.
At one point we made the decision to refinance with Quicken. The loan rep Delante McGrew emailed us the loan application and asked us to e-sign the documents. We still have dial up internet service so it took quite awhile to download the documents. Time was running short as I had to pick our daughter from school. My bad, but I went ahead and esigned the application and said that I would read through it later that evening.
Once I got to the Good Faith Estimate, I immediately realized that the figures on this form were different from the ones Delante quoted me earlier in the process that I wrote down in a notebook. The Loan Discount Fee was incorrect, there was an Additional Endorsement added in with no description as to what it was for. There was an $80.00 fee for TSI Appraisal Services as well as a $350.00 appraisal fee.
My intuition told me this was'nt the company I thought it was going to be. I called our credit card company and found out that Quicken had already charged our credit card $500 for a Good Faith Commitment. Delante told me this wouldn't be done until the appraisal had been completed. I told him then that we would not be doing business with them because of the change in the good faith numbers.
When I pointed out that the Loan Discount Fee was higher than what it should be, he couldn't understand why I would quibble over $300. He had no clue as to what the $80.00 fee to TSI Appraisal Services was for or what the Additional Endorsement was.
I tried to work with Ann O'Neil from the same office to get our money back.in my final conversation with her I also told her that I had recently discovered that Delante lied about the length of my husbands employment on the application. Ann told me that the length of a persons employment has no bearing whatsoever on the loan. Why do lenders ask for this information then??? They refuse to refund our $500 but I'll never rest until it's finished!
