Melissa, thank you for the warning.
-- Contributed by: Tamsen ButlerDo not trust this lender. They will do everything they can do to take your home from you. They will not work with you and they will take you into forclosure. We were luck enough to be able to refinance and get away from them I will never refinance with a company where there would be a potential to have to deal with this organization again. If you think you have a chance of getting laid off or sick and will not be able to make a payment on time run fast. Once your payment is late you must pay that one plus the next one or they will return your money to you!!!!! EVERYONE BEWARE!!!!!
