My complaint is a personal complaint but has ramifications throughout the mortgage lending industry. I recently agreed to a 15 year mortgage@2.875 % a very good rate that has since moved higher. However, I now believe my bank, USAA, is intentionally slowing the closing process down. We were supposed to close XX/XX/XXXX. It has been rescheduled five times! The last two of which were canceled 10 minutes before the signing, as I was on my way to the meeting! However, this is not my complaint. I see a broader issue here where banks can extend people 's refinance dates in order to potentially earn extra income from the existing loan ( given they continue to hold the original loan. ) I have no recourse. I complain but ca n't be refunded for the two extra mortgage payments I have paid and the {$800.00} in higher interest I have had to pay. Industry wide this practices costs consumers significant sums of money. I would love to work on an industry panel or regulatory body to fix this issue. Possible solutions could be a limited timeframe to complete a loan after which the bank will pay the difference in interest owned. Thank you for your time, I hope this reaches someone who will help people without any power.
