my husband and I were looking to purchase a house, we got preapproved through a mortgage company, did everything they asked us to do as far as saving money and paying off credit cards. on the day of closing they tell us we were denied. we paid for survey, appraisal, things that needed to be fix etc and to find out we got denied was very disturbing. they did not keep in constant contact with us or even had my emails and calls go unanswered for several days.i paid for everything in advance because they were confident we were going to get the house.
