Tell Your Story and Help Others!

If you've been the victim of suspect lending or home loan brokering, there may be little you can do.Often times, the unscrupulous mortgage professionals may take several hundred or well over a thousand dollars more than what is fair.This may be not enough to call an attorney, unless they were outright fraudulent, but is certainly enough to leave a sick feeling in your stomach as to what you can do to fight back.

One way to fight back is to share your own home loan story with other consumers.You can choose to provide your name to us at the Equal Home Finance Bureau, or not.If you do provide your name, we only keep that for our records internally, and will not publish it anywhere.

If you want, you can leave a general comment about the home loan process or what you experienced.The more detail you provide, however, the more it can help others.Items to include that can help are the following (but aren't necessary, by any means):

• Your profession (to show that home loan horrors can happen to almost anyone)
• The city, county, or state you're in
• The name of the companies you have worked with (lender, broker, etc.)
• Personal names of people you worked with

If we receive multiple complaints about the same person or company, we may pull those together and submit them to the people at the company who can make a difference.We may also submit them to the state licensing agency.We don't have to include your name in these letters.We need only say that we have several complaints about the same issue.In the most severe cases, we may contact one of the attorneys with whom we stay in contact to explore the potential for legal action.This is one reason you may really want to include your name, but again, not necessary to make an impact at some level.
