Complaint narrative:
I applied for a 30 year fixed refinance for the mortgage on my existing house with XXXX on XX/XX/2021. Based on my initial application I was conditionally approved for the loan, however, after approximately 2 months I learned that I was denied the refinance due for several reasons such : -- The underwriter could not verify that I lived at my primary residence due to my paystubs having a different address than my residence ( I have a separate mailing address ) -- Lack of documentation showing my liquid assets ( I was never asked to provide any documentation on this ) -- Something about my 2nd home being listed a short term rental property and any income from that not being able to be counted ( I have stopped using that for short term income, no one asked me about this ) -- Apparently there was some confusion on whether my primary residence is a single unit or 2 unit residence ( I was never asked to clarify this ) XXXX came to a conclusion on my credit-worthiness unfairly, without the proper due diligence and in the process harmed my credit and disenfranchised me from being able to obtain a loan at an interest rate of 3.25 %.

XX/XX/XXXX Checked the status of the loan in the newrez mobile app and showed my loan as " inactive ''. Asked for a status update and got a call from XXXX my loan officer. He told me that my loan had been denied due in part to the reasons provided in the beginning of the the document. He told me that he spoke with XXXX who claimed she had tried to contact me. I had not received any calls from her ( no voicemails ) nor any communication from her via email since XX/XX/XXXX. 
XX/XX/XXXX I sent another email to both XXXX and XXXX asking for an answer within 24 hours why my loan was denied. No answer. 
XX/XX/XXXX No response to my request for an update or answer to my email from XX/XX/XXXX. Sent an email to XXXX, XXXX and XXXX at XXXX letting them know of my frustration and next steps of referring this to CFPB. 

I chose XXXX in large part due to the awesome help and patience exhibited by my loan officer XXXX XXXX. However, upon my initial commitment to newrez the professionalism and due diligence stopped. The process ended with a denial that will impact my credit score and caused me financial harm by not being able to accomplish the financial goals I intended out of the refinancing which included reducing my credit card debt and receiving a favorable interest rate reduction.
