Subissue:

Consumer Complaint: I have a construction loan through XXXX. The XX/XX/XXXX ( XX/XX/XXXX ) I began the process of converting it into a 30 year mortgage with 5/3 Bank. I was given a rate of 3.875 and closing costs of {$2000.00}. I was told on XX/XX/XXXX that because we had financed the home ourselves and not purchased it from someone or from a contractor that the loan would not be considered a " new purchase '' but would be considered a " refinance ''. I got very concerned and sent an email out to the lady that had been handling the loan thus far, XXXX XXXX of 5/3 Bank and asked her to let me know if this would affect my rate at all. XXXX XXXX is Vice President of 5/3 XXXX branch. On XX/XX/XXXX I received an email from XXXX XXXX stating my rate would in fact remain at 3.875. I told her to go ahead with the loan process and the appraisal. I began receiving calls from a mortgage processor, XXXX XXXX, from 5/3 Bank on XX/XX/XXXX. I received a Mortgage Pricing Agreement from her via email that same day stating the terms of the loan with a rate of 3.875 and was told that as of that day our loan had a " locked in rate '' of 3.875 and the closing costs were {$2000.00}. I told XXXX I was getting very concerned about how long this process was taking because we had gotten the certificate of occupancy XX/XX/XXXX and had been moved in since then. We wanted to close ASAP on the loan. She said it should n't be too much longer that it was all in process and they were waiting on the appraisal. The appraisal was done XX/XX/XXXX. XXXX told me it would be back on Monday, XX/XX/XXXX. It finally came back and I received an email from XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX telling me what it appraised at. The home appraised at {$280000.00}. We were told we could borrow 80 % of the appraised value which would put us at {$220000.00}. We were only asking for {$200000.00}. I called XXXX and told her that to finish the yard was going to cost {$6000.00} and the closing costs were {$2000.00} and I would like to add both of those into the loan making the loan total {$200000.00} even. She said it would be no problem because we had not yet reached 80 % of the appraised value. On XX/XX/XXXX I received an email titled Truth in Lending Disclosure Statement in which the details of the loan were spelled out. Again, it listed my interest rate at 3.875 but it still had the borrowed amount listed as {$200000.00}. I emailed XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX and told her to call me ASAP because I did n't want wrong numbers being plugged in to my loan paperwork to cause even further hold up in our closing process. She replied that she was out and asked if it was ok to call me on Saturday morning. XXXX called on XX/XX/XXXX to discuss the loan. She said she wanted to go over my " payment amount ''. When she quoted me what my payment was going to be I knew something was n't right. I questioned what she had my rate as. She told me that my rate had changed to 4.25 % Never once did she volunteer the information until I asked. When I asked why she said it changed when the loan was changed from a purchase to a refinance. I told her I had it in writing that it was 3.875 % as a refinance. She then said well then it is because we had a cash out amount. I told her our original loan amount was {$230000.00} and we had only hit {$200000.00} so that was not the case either. She then told me it was because the appraisal came back lower. I told her we had not even hit 80 % of our appraised value then she tells me that on certain types of refinances they can only loan 75 % of the appraised value. 75 % puts us at wanting to borrow {$210000.00} which we were n't. I told her to just forget it, that we would take the loss of the {$6000.00} and pay it out of our personal acct and we would pay the closing costs too so to go back to the original loan amt of {$200000.00} so that the terms would go back to 3.875. She said they could n't do that, that the terms had changed. What terms? We had a LOCKED IN RATE of 3.875.

Issue: Taking out the loan or lease

Subissue:

Consumer Complaint: On XX/XX/2014, a finance adviser at XXXX XXXX XXXX confirmed an approved vehicle loan application with Fifth Third Bank in my name. That day at the dealership, I was given a Fifth Third Bank Note to sign and I was able to leave with vehicle. Waiting for Fifth Third monthly payment statements. I received a demanding letter for payment from a different bank XXXX. I was suspicions that this was fraud and a scam, because listed on my vehicle title as a lien-holder was only Fifth Third Bank and the finance adviser at XXXX XXXX never mentioned XXXX. I sent notices to both banks demanding for answers. For months, I was unsuccessful in finding clarification. Without a court order or notices my car was illegally repossessed by XXXX. On XX/XX/2014, a letter sent by a Fifth Third Bank specialist, XXXX XXXX stated that my loan application was declined on XX/XX/2014, and the bank routed my declined application to Santander for approval. I did not authorize this transaction and I was denied the right to declined XXXX 's loan offer. XXXX have illegally repossessed vehicle before and there is a case against them that proves that. United States of America vs. XXXX XXXX XXXX. Furthermore, the dealership never asked for the car back, because of a declined loan XX/XX/2014 and I never received any notices of explanation from Fifth Third Bank or the Dealership before or on XXXX stating that my loan was declined. Both banks and the dealership have been deceptive with the loan transaction and Fifth Third Bank are still listed on my vehicle title. I also have letters from XXXX contradicting Fifth Third claims.
