Complaint narrative:
In XX/XX/2024, I contacted Freedom Mortgage to inquire about obtaining a Home Equity Line of Credit and spoke with XXXX XXXX. We never discussed a refinance, only inquired about the HELOC. He took my information from my wife and I, then received an email from XXXX XXXX stating that his underwriting system had approved us for a VA Cashout Refinance Loan. This is not a product we ever discussed. Later, I called and spoke to someone about the decision, they indicated that a HELOC is not even an option they offer. This is very misleading and very inappropriate practices to never disclose the product your are inquiring about is not a product they offer yet continue to take your information to put you into a product they do offer. They then overnighted refinance documents for us to sign even though we did not accept the offer.
