Consumer complaint received 2020-12-10 00:00:00
Product: Mortgage — Conventional home mortgage
Issue: Applying for a mortgage or refinancing an existing mortgage — 
Company: AMERISAVE MORTGAGE CORPORATION
State: IA

Complaint narrative:
I can not get Amerisave to respond to my requests to clarify requests for documentation. At first, I believed it was just a poorly performing originator. The others I spoke with seemed well meaning. I was told it was escalated to a VP. However, nothing has really changed. I've had three different originators promise to respond to my detailed questions, and none of them have. And, these are simple questions really. " I provided you a copy of X. Is that sufficient? '' It has been over a month since I paid them for the appraisal, and the close date has passed. What I suspect is that they are stalling, and I can not confidently say when, or even if, the loan will actually close. 

The timeline below does not include my numerous phone calls.
