Product: Mortgage — Home equity loan or line of credit (HELOC)
Issue: Applying for a mortgage or refinancing an existing mortgage — 
Company: DISCOVER BANK
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
I applied online for a home equity loan through Discover Home Loans and was approved for {$50000.00}. I submitted everything required at the time such as XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX  everything pertaining to my home such as insurance, etc and received an email asking me to call them which I did. I went through everything with a personal banker and was told everything looked great including my XXXX ratio and I intended to pay off all my debr and I wouldn't mind it being down at the closing. Finally I was told I needed to have about {$1500.00} in reserves in order to close since my credit score was XXXX and although they accept scores as low as XXXX this was policy. A gift was allowable and less than a week submitted my final docs through their online portal. I called them after sending to see how long the process would take and was told it would be reviewed by an underwriter within a week. I also uploaded an explanation letter explaining why my one credit card had such a high balance and more information about me and my spouse who is also XXXX and of the XXXX XXXX. It was then that I noticed a much different tone to XXXX XXXX of when I got the denial was a day later and only because I logged into my account. The most recent " personal banker '' literally argued with me over the denial stating it was because my XXXX ratio was too high. I asked if they " grossed up '' XXXX income and she told me they did but my XXXX ratio was over 50 %. That is INCORRECT and. with just my income and my housing expenses etc my DTI is 39 %. Discover states on their site that it must be less than 43 %. Using household income it is 26 %. No one informed me of any issues and every document was checked offf on. I truly believe that Discover Home Loans discrimuated against me and my spouse after I admitted we were same XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. Modifying our home was what I planned on doing and believed that the remaining steps were formality. No one will talk to me or offer options and will not reconsider the fact that their calculations are incorrect. XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX for many years before becoming XXXX. I was misled and wasted several weeks and an iquiry on my credit report only to be dropped for no other explanation then Discover didn't want us as borrowers

Complaint narrative:
I met with XXXX at the Prosperity bank on XXXX XXXX. I've been a customer of this bank since it took over XXXX XXXX. I was with XXXX XXXX for many years. I am a XXXX  and had all of my XXXX XXXX deposits made at this bank. 

The check was from a XXXX XXXX in Minnesota. I sent all of the documentation showing it was a legitimate transaction and XXXX sent all of this information to their Legal department, including a Power of Attorney. 

XXXX told me I needed to get my son to sign the check and put his thumb print on it. My son had recently moved to XXXX. I sent the check to him overnight through XXXX XXXX with a return envelope -- which cost me almost {$500.00}. It took six weeks for the check to get to XXXX and then get returned to me. 

I met with XXXX again. He made a copy of both sides of the check. He said he was sending to his Legal department and would get back to me the next day. The next day he was not in the office. 

I dropped by the following day, waited almost a half an hour, and he came out of his office finally and told me very flippantly that legal did not approve -- after running the checks all over the place and the long wait. 

Then I tried talking to XXXX XXXX, she hung up on me because I got upset. The words she used only infuriated me and brought this situation to a point of escalation.
