Consumer Narrative

I applied for a refinance with Citizens bank on XX/XX/XXXX. XXXX, XXXX XXXX was my agent who I worked with. I refinanced because I needed money for an Hvac system. We worked on a loan that would help me get the money I needed. The loan was supposed to return my original escrow balance to me. The new escrow would be added to the loan amount. XXXX put in the loan that the old escrow was not to be rolled over into the new loan. I went through the entire process under the assumption the money was coming my way. On XX/XX/XXXX I received my final disclosure statement. Everything looked ok to me. The numbers were a bit lower but I was told that was because the initial estimate was high and that I didn't have to pay for appraisal and a few other things. The closing agent ( XXXX XXXX ) came to my house a few days later to sign all papers. I asked when signing if I was going to get the money from original escrow. I was told yes, anything in my old escrow would come to me. We went through the signing the paperwork packet. Nowhere in the packet did it say anything about the escrow being rolled into the new loan. Two weeks go by and I still don't have the old escrow money. I reached out to XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX and he replied that it rolled into the new loan and I wasn't going to get it. I was shocked, the whole point of the loan was to get the money. We went back and forth with emails amounting to him telling me there was nothing that they could do. He then offered me to open a line of credit. I found this shady as to why I would possible open another loan when they got the first one wrong. During our exchange he sent me an email with an attached fax that showed the money was to be rolled over into the new account. The fax was dated XX/XX/XXXX. It was the first time I had seen the document. It was not faxed to me because I do not have a fax number. It was not emailed to me or I would have nixed the loan. It was not in my closing packet at the time I signed or again I would have nixed the loan. And finally it was not in the packet that was given to me after closing. Also XXXX told me that the loan was already sold to another company which I found hard to believe. As it turns out it was sold to to XXXX XXXX but not until XX/XX/XXXX, over a month after what he told me. I feel like this was deliberately done to get me to open a second loan with Citizens bank. On top of it they should have made it right instead of telling me your out of luck. I have attached to final disclosure, the fax and page I never received that would have stopped the loan, and the pre closing document. I have the emails if you need them. Thank you for your time,
