      This Business is implying it is connected with Guaranteed Rate Affinity LLC, who holds our VA Mortgage. (Notice Attached). They have sent several notices (By Postal Mail) since we closed on our home on February 3, 2023.We believe this "Business" is trying to scam the Elderly/Veterans out of money!

      The business in question has lost money that we paid to them for our January mortgage payment on January 12th in the amount of $1574.86. The business claims to have returned the money to our account on January 24th. We have spoken with our bank and sent them bank statements showing that the money was not returned. We have been ignored and told there is nothing they (Guaranteed Rate Affinity) can or will do. We have also been charged multiple return fees that were unnecessary through out the month of January and February.

      On 10/24/2022 I called my mortgage company ( Guranteed Rate) regarding a county tax bill I received in the mail. I talked with ******** in the tax department at 4:30 pm who assured me that she was aware of the tax statements and there was enough money in my account to pay all my taxes, and Guaranteed Rate will pay the county taxes by the January 31, 2023 deadline. In December 2022, I received a notice from Guaranteed Rate statiing my loan was being sold to Chase Mortage, starting date of Feburary 1, 2023. There was nothing in the letter about not paying to counny taxes. On 2/22/2023 I called Guaranteed Rate and was told there was no record my taxes being paid before the loan was sold. That same day I called both county tax offices as was told my taxes were not paid as yet. I then called ***** and they suggusted I pay the taxes to prevent any further fees. I paid the taxes on 2/22/2023 and called back Guaranteed Rate and talked with ****** in the tax department at 11:14 am to discussed getting the interest and fees reimbursed back to me. ****** told me to send copies of the paid online tax receipts, and to call back on March 9th to check on the progress of our discussion. On March 9th I called back Guaranteed Rate and talked with ***** at 11:00 am. He told my the case was closed because there was no money in my account, and to get the reimbursement from my current mortage co. I told him it was ********* Rates responsibily to pay the interest and fees. He agreed it was Gurananteed Rates responbility to pay the taxes, but since the case was closed and no money in the account nothing can be done. The reinburment for the interest are $42.96 for the ********* ***************** and $122.44 from Comal ***************** a total of $165.40.My Guuranteed Rate loan number is **********.

      The loan ******** ****************** and *** *****, are a disorganized team and do not Communicate effectively. Due to this, ultimately, my credit was pulled without my consent for a mortgage product that I had never once mentioned. I first spoke to ***, requesting information on a 203k loan. He then referred me to their 203k specialist (****). **** and I then spoke for an hour **************** of the depths of the 203k loan, I asked that we continue the process. I later got a call from *** after hours, saying my application was incomplete(If there was a question of completeness of the application or the product type, why pull the report before clarifying as well as the lack of income that something a debt to income ratio wouldve told you before you pulling my credit). Still, by this time, my credit was already pulled, but for a single-family home using a VA loan that I did NOT mention, not ONCE, during any duration of the call with **** or ***. *** then told me how my monthly income was inadequate (net income of over **** monthly), and I was all over the place when I said I also wanted to use projected rent from the multi-family to help qualify (which **** and I had discussed). This phone call was obscene and unprofessional because he then mentioned how he and **** were off for the rest of the day as if I had called him after hours. This morning I received an email from **** about how he can only qualify me for a purchase of 150k, which is nearly half the other loan I applied for during this period, with the rates being as high as 7. No pre-approval letter nor a copy of my report, just a sloppy email.

      We made our September and October payments to our loan processor ******************** through Guaranteed Rate Affinity. In late October we were notified via mail that the loan had transferred to Service Mac as of September 1st. At this point, we had already made payments to *********** for September and October and so we reached out to GRA to determine if the loan amount would be transferred. We were assured by the representative, *****************************, on the multiple occasions we spoke with him that the payment was being transferred, that our credit would not be affected, and that no interest would accrue on the loan due to late payments. One month later, we have still not seen two months of payments applied, we have seen significant impacts to our estimated credit score, and received several foreclosure notices to our home despite having made all payments on time. The last correspondence we had with GRA, we were assured that payment would be applied by Friday, 11/25 and as of today, 12/2 have still not seen any payments applied to our account.

      -We have not received a response from the CFPB.

      -As of our last email to Guaranteed Rate on December 6th (attached), we confirmed that this is still outstanding. We are still awaiting GRA to confirm (1) that payment has been successfully transferred from the prior loan processor (2) the our credit has been corrected and will not be negatively impacted going forward (3) that no interest has accrued on the outstanding payments.

      This man literally had 3/4 emails guaranteed hours on them, and still wanted more! My credit is a 775 with no Debit to income ratio. If he didnt want to give the loan he should of said that before guaranteeing he could and sending over text to apply. I ask him multiple times while making sure that, I didnt want to do this unless we got approved, because of hard inquiry I did not want. There was no reason for me to not get approve and I feeel this is discrimination

      I started my loan process with *********************** back in April 2022, I was pre- approved for ~400k after weeks of looking for a home and several offers an offer was finally accepted. We went into contract on May 2, closing date was June8. the process started and i provided anything that was asked of me. This was an FHA loan so there were some repairs that needed to be done, ****** and her team kept working on my file and the closing date kept getting moved. I was under the impression that this was normal process. Not once was I told by ****** or my realtor that the contract needed to be extended. I would go days w/o an update from ****** or her team. Again Im thinking its normal process. On June 15 I was given a conditional approval pending a few documents that had nothing to do with my income. Closing was set for 7/18. She ran my credit July 11, July 12 she told me I was denied due to my DTI, info she had since April. No changes happened between April- July other then my credit going above 700(I worked hard). Seller is refusing to return my **** ******* money, I am now battling to get my funds, years of savings back. I was mislead by what are considered professionals in the real state world. I was to relocate before school started so my girls could be settled before August. I need your help please, I have no idea where to go from here. I have tons of supporting documents, conversations to show all this. I promise you I had no idea that the contract should have been extended as we were in the process, I was never told I was denied until July 12.

      Complaint: 17614983

      I am rejecting this response because: What is stated in the letter is false, I can prove ****** told us  we had a closing date, this was moved many times. I provided ****** with a co-signer this was early-mid jume and we had gone into contract early May. Once she told me I needed more paper work from my co-signer it was decided that for time sake and keep the closing as planned we would be better off having my home  in MA appraised and use the equity to support my DTI ratio. This was new to me so I trusted and followed her asked/advice, we did the appraisal as I was 100% sure my Home held plenty of equity, she then came back stating that my lease was way too high meaning I was charging a rent that was way higher than most in MA this made no sense to me as I was told they were looking at the home equity. Again, Im asking you to return my appraisal funds as this was an unnecessary move and ****** mislead me through this entire process. It is the least you can do.

      Guaranteed **************** sent two notices demanding proof of fire insurance to the wrong address, even though mortgage statements were sent to the correct address. As a result, I did not receive any notifications. My home was insured by *********************** and I could have easily sent them the insurance deck page as proof. Note that Guaranteed Rate Mortgage had my correct mailing address, phone number, and email address on file and that monthly mortgage statements were being sent to the correct PO Box address. During the same approximate time, Guaranteed ****************mpany sold my mortgage to *********** On or about 2021-11-24 I noticed a $421.20 fee on my on my statement and called to inquire the reason. Company rep **** told me that the company had purchased fire insurance on my house. I inquired as to the notifications and learned the company had sent two notices to my physical address that had been returned to them. I later confirmed the post office had returned the notices as "mis-addressed". I made 5 additional calls, I was promised a refund, yet none came. The charge is $421.20 and I have received a partial refund of $175.31. The balance is still due, and has been for about six months. It is apparent that Guaranteed Rate Mortgage wants to retain this money and wear me down until I quit the pursuit of the refund.

      Complaint: ********

      I am rejecting this response because:
      Please re-open complaint #********


      On 2202-07-15 I filed complaint #******** with ******* ** BBB.

      2022-07-25 I received a call from *************************** of Guaranteed Rate who was assigned to contact me after GuaranteedRate received notification of my BBB complaint. After much discussion she initiated a 3-way call with ***** at the ********************'s Office, who told **** that *************** and Hwy 182 are the same and that the two addresses are both my residence. Even after that call **** disputed that fact (promulgating the company line), so I insisted she replay the GuaranteedRate phone recording for proof, which she refused. **** stated an official letter from the county was necessary indicating the address "change" was related to requirements of E911 records among other "acceptable" reasons. There is no address "change"; the address is what is and has been, at the time I filled out the loan application and for many years before Guaranteed Mortgage funded the loan.

      After ****'s call I phoned ********************* at Mono County per *****'s recommendation. I explained the situation and she told me she would prepare .PDF letter on County letterhead which should satisfy ****'s requirements.

      2022-07-26 I received *****'s letter that explained the addresses in question were the same and that part of the issue was related to E911 records and for mapping websites like ****** Maps. I then phoned ****, explained the contents of the official Mono County document and, per her instructions, emailed a copy to her. As per their history, there has been no followup from Yuvi or from GuaranteedRate since.

      2022-08-25 I learned that GuaranteedRate sent ***** an escrow demand for further collection of the $421.20 - the amount supposedly paid to ********************************** for the disputed homeowner insurance. ********** then began deducting amounts from my mortgage payments to go into that escrow account. So, instead of processing a refund, they have instead proceeded with collection efforts through **********.

      I have received three notices from ***************** indicating "TOTAL RETURN PREMIUM AMOUNT":

      1) 04-26-2022 for $175.39
      2) 05-04-2022 for $27.71
      3) 07-09-2022 for $218.10
      Total: $421.20

      Note that the listed refund total equals the disputed amount claimed in my BBB complaint. Although I took these statements as a good sign, as of today's date of 08-25-2022 no refund has been received. Even worse, GuaranteedRate steadfastly continues its efforts to collect double through ********** even though that amount is already in the hands of GuaranteedRate. The end result, of course, would be a double-fraudulent double-gain of $842.40.

      This issue was initiated around December 2021 or January 2022 when GuaranteedRate sent their insurance demand letter to the wrong address. To date it has not been resolved and it appears they are in no hurry to reach that end - after all, to resolve it requires refunding their all important ill-gotten funds.

      Sincerely,

      *******************

      Better Business Bureau:

      I have reviewed the response made by the business on September 6, 2022 in reference to complaint ID ********.

      The information provided finally resolves the issue five months after my initial contact. The escrow refund and the letter should have been generated months ago. Instead, it took multiple phone calls and many hours of my time to finally obtain this resolution. Therefore, I do not consider the complaint satisfactorily resolved. Without the influence of the Better Business Bureau, I am convinced that Guaranteed Rate would have continued to ignore me and would never have resolved this matter.

      Therefore, I request that Guaranteed Rate's response and their overall rating be categorized as "Unsatisfactory".

      Sincerely,
