      Loan #********** Recently my partner, and I were put in touch with an employee in ****** by the name of *********************. I was working with *** in December 2023/January 2024 and we were pre-approved for a loan and ultimately decided at that time we would not be moving forward and never used the pre-approval letter. In March 2024, we were back in town searching again and I asked *** "what would we need to do in order to get an updated pre-approval letter". I DID NOT give permission for our credit to be pulled again as another hard inquiry. Not only that, the agent I was working with at that time told me in TEXT MESSAGE she had my pre-approval letter but would never send it to me when I asked. So I emailed *** asking him if ever gave her one, and he never replied to me and ghosted me. So now, for the first time, I am getting this letter of why I was denied, when we never moved forward nor gave permission and *** never said anything to me.Therefore, I am needing the following answers from your company:1.) Why did *** pull our credit again as a second hard inquiry even though the first pre-approval we DID NOT USE expired and I DID NOT give permission to do a second pull? 2.) Why did *** ghost us? Why could *** not answer the simple question I emailed asking if he had given this real estate agent approval? 4.) The denial letter is not correct. It states public record for me among other things, but I do not have a public record and that has been verified as of today with the credit agency. So why lie there too? I look forward to a prompt reply. Sincerely, *********************************

      Bay Equity acknowledges receipt of this review. *********************** contentions are based on a credit decision following an inquiry for mortgage financing. Bay Equity cannot substantively respond to this review in a public forum such as this because to do so will necessarily disclose borrower's non-public information and personal circumstances. Bay Equity believes that *********************** questions have already been answered and a resolution has already been addressed and forthcoming. If ******************** disagrees with this finding, we invite her to reach out to **********************  and we can attempt to further explain.

      Thank you.
