At the end of XXXX 2015 I applied for a mortgage with Bank of America ( BofA ) to buy a house in XXXX, VA. I provided the Loan Officer with any information requested and I told him that I live and work XXXX ( XXXX ) because I 'm a XXXX. On XXXX XXXX BofA charged me {$450.00} for the property appraisal which was done on XXXX XXXX. On XXXX XXXX the Loan Officer informed me that my application was rejected " because you are XXXX and buying a property here ''. Considering that the basis for denying my application ( XXXX ) was known to BofA since the beginning of my mortgage application, BofA should have denied my application right away and for sure they should n't have ordered ( and charged me ) the appraisal cost.
