I applied for a pre-approval with Security National Mortgage Company and was told that I was approved, but the mortgage broker did not want to give a set amount so that I would not go too the higher end of the approved amount. I picked a home, put an earnest deposit and followed all instructions. 3 months in and no closing has been done, I 've been told I can not get my deposit or inspection money back and am now being told that in order to be approved, I have to sell my current residence. I never received a pre-approval letter from the lender or broker and now the selling agent has informed me that the pre-approval letter he received was forged and not valid. The mortgage broker I was working with was offered to do a mock sale, " XXXX XXXX '' sale in his words, in order to pre-approve me and at XXXX point asked for my daughter 's social security number to make it seem as if we were selling the house to her. He would avoid my calls and eventually I was told he no longer worked for the company. I called the bank yesterday to file a complaint and was told I had the wrong number. I clarified who I was calling for and my reasoning, then was told that an investigation was going to be done and that I would receive a call back. Within 5-10 minutes of hanging up, I received a call back from the original broker, XXXX, asking why I had filed a report and that the money should be returned by the seller. He said he would call the seller 's agent and hung up. I then contacted the seller 's agent, XXXX, and he verified that he has not ( yesterday nor today ) received a call from Security National or from XXXX in regards to this situation. I 'm losing out on money because this company did not do their job correctly and did not provide due diligence either.
