Consumer Narrative

Hello, I recently closed on a home using American Eagle as my lender. Throughout the process, I encountered many headaches and what I believe to be clear TRID violations. Before making my final decision on what lender to go with I asked American Eagle to confirm what my interest rate and APR would be if I locked the loan at that time. After delayed responses from them, we agreed to lock the loan with an interest rate of 3.125 % and APR of 3.2 % with XXXX points on XX/XX/XXXX ( this is documented through email ). Despite my negative experience with them up to that point I decided to proceed with American Eagle as my lender because I believed with these loan terms and the builder 's incentive to go with them that they were a good deal. Unfortunately, when they sent the CD to me before closing they had reneged on our agreed APR of 3.2 %. The CD had an APR of 3.49 %, which is obviously not what we agreed to. When I asked them about this, they refused to honor the APR of 3.2 %. This was shortly before the closing and at that time it was too late to change lenders and close on time. Changing lenders and missing the scheduled closing date would have forced me to incur major extension charges. As I previously mentioned, I agreed to proceed with American Eagle on XX/XX/XXXX due to the APR of 3.2 % we agreed to lock at. Needless to say, Im very upset that they decided to not honor the terms they clearly agreed to. In the interest of closing on time and avoiding expensive extension charges, I decided to proceed with American Eagle despite their shameful behavior. Before closing, I informed them that I viewed them not honoring the 3.2 % APR as a breach of a legally binding agreement and that I planned to consult with an attorney and file a complaint with the CFPB after closing. I happen to work in the mortgage industry and noticed a few other things that I believe to be violations as well. Early in the process of applying with them one of American Eagles representatives ( XXXX XXXX ) discussed and negotiated interest rates with me via phone and email despite telling me earlier that she was not licensed to do so. Also, I believe they ordered the appraisal before I ever signed the intent to proceed. Although, I can not confirm this for sure since I do not recall for certain when or if I signed the intent to proceed and their system doesn't show this information to me. Also, we agreed to lock the loan on Saturday XX/XX/XXXX and they didn't actually lock it until XX/XX/XXXX. Its my understanding that this delay is a violation as well. Also, as previously mentioned, they reneged on the APR we agreed to.
