Stonegate Mortgage Corporation Mortgage Complaint

Stonegate Mortgage representative issued us a pre-approval letter at 5 % down payment for the property we were interested in buying. Once we got the pre-approval letter, we made an offer on the house, came to agreement on the contract, hired an inspector, etc. During the 10 day period, the Stonegate representative left a voicemail saying she was " having to step away for personal reasons '' ( we now know that all - Stonegate branches had closed ), and that she passed on all of our information to a representative with another company without our permission. About three days before our 10 day option period ended, the new representative called us to tell us that with the way our finances were, there was no way we could afford to buy that house we had already spent $970.00 on ( Inspection fee, Termite inspection fee, and Option period fee ) and that we could not be issued the loan for the house. Another day later ( 2 days before the end of the option period ended ), he called again to say the only way we could buy the house was to put 10 % down instead of 5 % ( our original pre-approval letter from the representative at Stonegate was issued for 5 % down ). We could not afford the 10 % down as that was not part of the original pre-approval letter. If we had known that in advance, we would never have spent/wasted almost $1000.00 on a house we were n't going to get a loan for, and on a house we should never have gotten a pre-approval letter for.
