HI!
I just refinanced my house, We signed all the FINAL HUD FORMS! The title co sent us a check for the amount that we are getting from the lender, This was the final hud settlement forms . Now the title co wants me to hold the check and says they will stop payment on it if we deposit it. Everything was notorized and witnessed. After waiting the required 3 day resition period everybody was funded. Now he says I have to wait! Is this legal after closing and can he change the amount of our proceeds? Something seems to be fraudulent!
If the figures are being changed, you should be eligible for another 3 day rescission period. Contact your lender immediately and tell them what is going on. Tell them you insist that they inform the title company that it is too late or that they redo the closing statement and give you another 3 day right to cancel. Tell them you will contact the Consumer Finance Protection Bureau and the state banking department if they refuse to grant another right to cancel period. If you still don't get help, in addition to contacting these agencies you might want to talk with an attorney about sending in the cancellation form and rescinding the transaction anyway.
The entire purpose of the federal right to rescind on a refinance of a primary residence is to give the consumer a period of time to review the terms and the dollars involved in the refinance. You have to have REAL figures to consider before you waive your right to cancel. If these figures were wrong - and they might be legitimately in error - then you need to have good figures back in front of you with the right to cancel.
If the reality is that you would have cancelled if you had correct figures, then I believe you still have that right. If the reality is that you would not have cancelled if you had the correct figures, then you might want to just go along with the correction. There is a difference between a legitimate error and a bait and switch situation.
Hope this information is helpful.
Diane
