    • I had the rate of my upcoming mortgage locked, but the APR presented to me a couple of weeks later was already different (obviously higher!) and proclaimed subject to more changes any time before closing. I mean, how is this possible in the first place?
    • My broker says she’ll tell me the price of her service upfront and find me a mortgage at a wholesale price. So she is an upfront mortgage broker, isn’t she?
    • There is no FICO score in my credit report!
    • I authorized my partner to use my card in order to improve her credit score so that we can have a better mortgage later when we are ready to buy a home, but the information on the card usage does not even show on her credit report.
    • My report is full of delinquent mortgage payments. Well, I admit I’ve skipped a payment once, but how did it turn into so many?
