I am rejecting this response because: I may have decided to resolve this complaint with this company at present. However, I will do everything I can to alert other veterans as to the deceptive practices of this company. As far as my relationship with this company, I have always felt the best way to complain is with your feet.

consumer and we remain available if we can offer any assistance.

Veterans United Home Loans would be happy to research any phone numbers, calls or emails received but we believe this individual has been contacted by a fraudulent company.  After the preliminary application our last attempt to reach this individual was September 28, 2016 and we have made no...

contact since or on February 23, 2017.  Our website, phone system and employee training all discuss that we are not a government agency and there would be no benefit to our company in making an alternative statement.  This is however common language used by scammers and we have seen incidents in the past.  We recommend writing down phone numbers, asking the caller for their business address and registered NMLS number.  If they cannot quickly reply or make inaccurate statements, they are likely a fraudulent entity.

Issues surrounding income limitations were not known or anticipated and a supervisor did not properly follow up to discuss the matter. The applicant's constructive comments were helpful to improve our communication process. Please let us know if additional information is necessary.

Records indicate that Mr. [redacted] or his spouse applied for a loan on 10/10/16 and were well qualified.  As the applicant has shown no further interest in pursuing the loan we mailed deny/ withdraw letters to close out the file as required by law.  No further contact will be made.

The VA home loan approval process can be complicated and many documents may be requested. The items requested were appropriate based on the client's loan application. Mortgage disclosures are provided initially with estimated figures and VA...

Funding Fee amounts are determined by the Veterans Administration. Once the VA waived the VA Funding Fee, updated mortgage disclosures were sent. The Loan Officer has attempted to explain the loan amount, VA Funding Fee and seller-paid costs accurately and all clients are encouraged to ask questions before signing settlement documents.
Based on the applicant's request, we have stopped processing the loan and have informed the realtor that the client wishes to have the earnest money refunded by the seller.

short-sale and foreclosure exceptions for veterans and the FHA (CAIVRS) resource to locate previous defaults showed no issues. The correct procedure was followed and the applicant signed a purchase contract for a new construction home that would be completed in 8 months. The CAIVRS report would expire before completion and the builder was requiring a large, non-refundable deposit. At that stage, the loan officer called the FHA to double check the report, knowing that there was a previous short-sale, the construction period would take 8 months and the client was about to put down a large deposit. After the initial communication, the FHA Connection acknowledged that there was in fact an issue and their original report was not accurate. The loan officer translated this issue to the applicant within 24 hours of receipt of the purchase contract so the $15,000 deposit would be protected.
The applicant was disappointed, filed a Revdex.com complaint and then spoke with a manager and requested that we send their information to a new lender. The applicant thanked us for the explanation and did not lose their deposit to the builder. We satisfied the client's request, provided our best guidance and hope they will have a successful transaction with the new lender. 5 days later we received the Revdex.com complaint but understand that the applicant was satisfied previously.
