I was in a jam by the time they finished playing around with my closing papers; I didn't have a choice but to close with them. Countrywide could have foreclosed on me. I was being refinanced from Countrywide to Full Spectrum (sister, brother,muthah whatever companies) The good faith estimate had the wrong payoff for the old mortgage giving me the impression that I would be able to pay off all of my credit cards. These were not on the first HUD that I received because they had upped the mortgage payoff substantially. I had to request HUDS from them, they didn't send them on their own the second and third time they made changes. They screwed around with the payoff to Countrywide, charged me interest on the 4th HUD for all the days they put off the funding of my loan, after it closed, because they kept changing the documents, charged an additional amount on the HUD for an appraisal without informing me that they would be doing this (they negotiated a smaller amount that I paid via checking account because I couldn't afford to pay what they first quoted) all this substantially lowering my cash back figure even further that on the second HUD they sent me. They sent the right of rescission 3 different times and had me initial a change on it so many times that it ended up going back to the way it was originally signed. I have fought them via phone and email to get the cash back that I was due. They provided 4 different HUDS, 3 different right of rescissions, 3 different Truth in Lending statements. The branch manager tried to help supposedly but was moved from her job at Full Spectrum to Countrywide and no longer was handling those duties. She handed me off to someone else that didn't want to disburse to me what she had told me that I had coming. I have been told via phone 7/29/04(they will not put anything in writing) that they are going to give me the late charges on the big credit card balance that I still owe and the balance of the cash back. It is supposedly in accounting for "approval" at this point and will take 2-3 weeks. I WOULD LOVE TO FIND A PREDATORY LENDING CLASS ACTION SUIT AGAINST FULL SPECTRUM/COUNTRYWIDE TO DONATE SOME GREAT DOCUMENTATION FOR EXHIBIT. ANYBODY OUT THERE?

Full spectrum lending is a sister company of countrywide home loans. full spectrum is a sub-prime lending company created because countrywide is being picked apart by over 10's of thousand of law suits mainly in california which has 17,200 law suits against countrywide/ full spectrum lending alone. The appraisal company who did your appraisal is owned by countrywide (landsafe).I consider you a very smart consumer, never sign anything without reading what your signing.you were taken for a few hundred dollars but if you continued you stood the chance of having a number of problems with this company and its not fun. If you know anyone who is using countrywide or full spectrum lending, look at this site before going further. (DELETED...This link did not go anywhere) or look up (countrywide lawsuit) you wont believe what you reading.
