Consumer complaint received 2020-12-07
Company: PNC Bank N.A.
State: IL
Product: Mortgage
Sub-product: Other type of mortgage
Issue: Applying for a mortgage or refinancing an existing mortgage

Complaint:
In XX/XX/2020, my daughter and I contacted PNC Bank in an effort to refinance our multifamily to take advantage of lower mortgage rates. This process brought to light exorbitant closing cost fees and prejudicial appraisal practices encouraged by PNC Bank. 

During the documentation process, we came to learn that PNC Bank charges what is considered exorbitant closing cost fees in excess of {$19000.00}. After checking with other institutions, it was confirmed that this amount is considerably high for a residential refinance. 

After a long documentation process, we then endured what we found to be a prejudicial home inspection/appraisal performed by XXXX XXXX, XXXX in which we believed that the property was greatly under appraised based on other recently sold neighborhood comparables. The property was appraised at {$670000.00} in an area in which other comparable properties are valued at $ XXXX {$800000.00}. The property was appraised just two years prior during purchase at {$720000.00}. Additionally, over the two year period of ownership we put in an additional {$100000.00} of improvements into the property. We expressed our dissatisfaction with the appraisal and requested a secondary appraisal be performed. This request was denied. However, we were told that we could request an appraisal rebuttal for which the property could be re-evaluated. For this process, we submitted a number of comparable properties that had recently sold in the area for high amounts. Nonetheless, the comparable properties were simply rejected by the appraisal company and a re-evaluation never occurred. 

For the above reasons, my daughter and I decided to decline the mortgage refinance. A few weeks went by when we received a letter in the mail from PNC Bank expressing that the loan had been denied due to credit denial, not that we had decided to opt out of the loan or that my daughter and I both had credit scores that were over and above what PNC Bank deemed as good scores that were well over XXXX. 

We contacted PNC numerous times to submit a complaint and to discuss the issues. Many attempts to contact the bank went unaddressed. Yet, after a number of persistent phone calls, we were able to get a return call from the manager of the loan department named, XXXX XXXX. During the conversation, she seemed to be explaining a different reason for the denial that did not match what was stated in the denial letter we received. So, I asked her if she had reviewed the letter we had received along with the complaint that had been submitted. Sadly, she had to admit that she had not read them prior to returning my call. How can a manager address a complaint and follow up with a customer on an issue when she has not properly prepared herself?

The XXXX XXXX XXXX Government Clerk of Superior Court stated that the court has not issued a garnishment levy to Truist on behalf of XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX to garnish my account because the case has not gone to court to be ruled on. My account is now overdrawn - {$9000.00} with a pending Exceptions/Administrative Hold until XX/XX/XXXX. My concern is that XXXX acted with reckless abandonment without court consent and violated my consumer rights to oblige the underbelly tactics of XXXX debt collecting agency.
