Rage, Rage, Against the Mortgage Broker

I hate no one in the world as much as I hate our bank people right now.

It's 1pm, we're still waiting for the package that we've been expecting for TWO WEEKS (it's been on the truck since 6:22am!). Our car is packed. We're ready to go.

Then they call and say they need a few paperwork items. Things they could have mentioned, say, oh, ANYTIME IN THE LAST MOTHERFUCKING TWO WEEKS. Or yesterday when we were on the phone with them.

But NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, they call and ask for it the morning we're due to go on vacation.

Cocksuckers.

Holy shit! That fucking sucks. GRRRR. Did you leave then?
I was not at my desk..sign back in to YM!!

[Debe]

I'm convinced it's their jobs to make the mortgage process as filled with stress as possible so that you are damn grateful when you finally move in!

[Heather]

Damn, that does suck. Take deep breaths. Just get the shit together and go. It will be fine. Hey- the car is already packed, so thats a plus! Think positive C ! It will be fine. Sounds like too many chefs in one kitchen at the morg. company to me. I hate that too. Someone, ANYONE should have let you know. It's okay though, deal with it, get thier paperwork together and then leave out for camping. It will all turn out great. Stay positive....... and hey---------YOUR GOING CAMPING FOR THE HOLIDAY WEEKEND! WOO-HOO!

Cocksuckers. . .

You say that like it's a bad thing.

;o)

Chin up dear. Mortgage brokers are idiots but you'll get through it and have many others to hate in your immediate future. People like plumbers who'll charge you $200 for 20 minutes of work. Or the floor guys who send drug addicts into your home to destroy your hardwood floors. Or the cable guy who comes to hook up your internet, tv and VoIP and runs a BLACK cable DIAGONALLY ACROSS the room instead of neatly along the WHITE baseboards, then leaves without telling you your new phone number.

THOSE are the people over whom you will want sweet revenge my love. And I shall help you rain it down upon their heads when you're ready.

For now, GO. Enjoy your vacation.

I'm pretty surer that mortgage brokers are fast over-taking used-car salespeople and airline CEOs in the "Most Hated" category.

Honey, didn't you know that mortgage brokers have the same basic genetic makeup as the dimwitted nurses who work in RE's offices?

Hope you get this resolved quickly so you can properly enjoy your vacation.

We were down to the wire when we closed on our house too, Cec. I wish you weren't! It was really ridiculous and I felt like I was going to have a nervous breakdown. But it was all good once we got our keys!

Hang in there and know we're all thinking good closing/moving house thoughts for you. :)

There's a song by Cheryl Wheeler about her experience doing this. Here's the link the lyrics:

I about died the first time I heard this song.

[Beth]

Nice. WTF is wrong with people sometimes? Why do they do these things? Are they sadists who enjoy watching others squirm? One has to wonder.

Susan, that was too funny!

[Tiffanni]

oh the joys of buying a home....ugh!
I am sorry. Try to have a great vacation anyway.

[Angela]

Bastards! Ours did the same thing to us too. It was a real pain in the ass.

Hopefully yours get their heads back on straight, and soon!

[Lisa V]

Assholes!!

[mamaPajama]

Mortgage brokers never do the paperwork until the last possible second. I've bought and sold seven houses and though I've found company I can trust and work with, the other folks always have some issue that throws a kink in the process. Deep breaths, it will all work out.

[Kate]

Damn damn damn! I'll kick 'em all for ya...as soon as I finish packing.

[Heather]

Sons of bitches! I hope you got the package and skipped town to go camping.

Assholes. Don't they know who they're dealing with?? :-)

[Rachel]

I closed on my house a day after I got back from a trip to Europe. Before I left on the trip I stopped at the bank and at my realtor's office to ask if there was anything I had to do before I left.

You can imagine my surprise when I called the banker 12 hours before the closing and he asked where my homeowner's insurance was. It's just a damned good thing I live in a little, little town where people can do stuff last minute. I was furious.

[Amy]

Make them fax that shit to the hotel, or better yet, overnight it and insist they not charge you. Refuse to pay any extra overnight charges. Watch them get their butts in gear. Or even better, shop around for another broker. There are a bajillion of them out there.

[Christine]

Oh, Katie! I love that Cheryl Wheeler song - heard her perform it live, OMG, so funny. She's amazing.

Oh, yeah, Cecily...rage on, babe!

[Ellen]

:( I hope you can have fun anyway, and also get everything taken care of.

[Meg]

That sucks, Cecily. I hope it works out soon.

For what it's worth, there are things as fun as this to distract you...

I'm just waiting for the picture of you strutting in your new house!

[EmilyEmily]

I do not envy your bank struggles right now at all. I hope it has all worked out by the time you and Charlie return.I just read Sarah's post about camping and I cant wait to hear yours!
BTW, I recently got a counter on my blog that tells me how people get to my blog. Well, most people that read my blog have clicked on me after reading your blog(or from the link on your blog.) Thanks Cec- I know you help a lot of people this way!

[Rob Reid]

True story...I found your site by googling "mortgage brokers suck"....

argh!!!!!

[c]

Me too, I work with the fuckers everyday, a majority of brokers I have met are scumbags, that whole industry leaves a bad taste in my mouth.
