Cardinal Financial Company, LP Mortgage Complaint

Cardinal Financial Company, LP Mortgage department,

Conventional fixed mortgage Application, originator, mortgage broker New York

On or about -/-/-, I applied for a mortgage with Cardinal Financial online. After qualifying for the mortgage online, I was instructed to order an appraisal in order to proceed with the application. When I inquired about the appraisal, Cardinal Financial stated that this was mandatory and assured me there will be no problem with the mortgage application. Relying on Cardinal Financials ' assurance, I paid $660.00 to Cardinal Financial for the appraisal. Immediately upon payment, I was contacted to schedule an appraisal appointment and within few days was notified that the appraisal was completed. However, this was a total waste of time and money because Cardinal Financial had not received nor even requested a " Condo Questionnaire. '' After submitting the entire application, we informed that they were still waiting in the " Condo Questionnaire '' to schedule a closing. Finally on -/-/-, I was informed the unit did not qualify for a mortgage based on the " Condo Questionnaire. '' When I inquired why they made me order an appraisal and complete the application before they even requested a " Condo Questionnaire, '' I was informed this was their policy. I would not have ordered an appraisal if not for Cardinal Financials ' specific instruction and assurance. Based on Cardinal Financials ' instruction and assurance I wasted time and money. Accordingly, I am demanding a full refund for the appraisal fee I paid. Going forward, they should also be precluded from forcing future clients to order appraisal s before the " Condo Questionnaire.
