I'm extremely unhappy with the loan application process and working with ********* ******. I was misled on several occasions as it pertains to my down payment and costs associated with this loan. On Monday, July 11, 2022 and via text, ********* said that he could get the loan approved with 20% down with a $275k purchase price (texts attached) and would see if he could get it approved for 15%. On Friday, July 15th, I was notified by my selling agent that the down payment had increased to 25% and I wasn't made aware of the change prior to ********* informing third parties instead of me, the consumer. On July 19, 2022, I was informed via text that the appraisal would cost approximately $650 but when I completed the form to order the appraisal, it said $485. In summary, this is the 2nd home that we tried to get while working with ********* and every time the price of the home changed, the down payment increased with excuses that he spoke with underwriting and they would only approve the loan with 25% down or more money down. I've now spent lots of money after being told that there would be no issues and to trust him, just to be informed that we've run into another roadblock. I feel like I'm being scammed out of money because I'm selling and buying a home at the same time. I'm scheduled to close on Thursday, August 11th and now need to come out of pocket with approximately $7,000 after being asked to put down 25%. Not fair after being told differently. I had my son put on the loan application to help make a positive difference and am still being shaded! This is unfair and unethical practices. Therefore, I'm giving you the opportunity to repair the damages that's been done before other avenues has to be taken. I recorded each telephone call with ********* and have a slew of text messages if you should need them to verify my allegations.Business Response

We hope that you'll consider Bank of England Mortgage for your future home loan needs.

I closed on my home 2/10/2022. Shortly after Bank of England sold my loan to Kentucky Housing corporation. They have yet to correct my credit report even though in their system they can see the account is inactive! Even after disputing it on all credit reports they still won’t remove it! I am showing I have two mortgages!Business Response

It is a very long list, ***** ******* and ********* ******* refusing to communicate in a timely fashion, signing closing disclosures without having a final approval ultimately being told I was denied 36 hours before I was supposed to sign title papers, asking me to sign fraudulent paperwork, costing me thousands of dollars direct to the original home owner that didn’t count towards my mortgage. Forced to sell assets that didn’t need to be sold, to live in parking lots for two months because of pushed back dead lines. I have hundreds of emails and text messages between my realtor, *****, *********, and myself if more is required. I have attached one that shows they were pulling my credit even after my closing documents had been signed.Business Response

We regret that your experience was less than satisfactory, but after an investigation related to a similar complaint filed with the FDIC earlier in the year we did not find a lack of communication or negligence. The FDIC closed that complaint on 2/10/2022.
Closing disclosures are issued in advance of a closing date as required by Federal law, but the issuance of those disclosures does not mean that a loan is fully approved as the lender continues to conduct verifications on your file. As part of those continued verifications and reviews, a secondary review by Underwriting and a loan committee indicated that an approval was not forthcoming due to several factors, including lack of stability with a new job. At that time, you were informed that we would not be able to provide the financing that was requested and it was indicated by you that you preferred to withdraw your application and proceed with a new lender.
At that point, our efforts to gain approval ceased and there was no additional activity related to your application. The area manager provided documentation from our loan file via email as requested and the FHA case information and appraisal were transferred to the new lender.
Ultimately, it is our goal to do our best to help consumers become homeowners in a professional and expedient manner. Some applications are more challenging than others, but we make every effort to make each one a success. While we were unable to assist you with the financing desired to purchase a home, we're glad that you found a lender who was able to make financing work for you. Again, we apologize that your experience with Bank of England Mortgage was not satisfactory.
