Did you report what you say was an inflated appraisal to anyone? Massachusetts is clamping down and prosecuting appraisers who inflate values for the banks they work for. Refer to the huge LAND FLIPPING TRIAL IN SPRINGFIELD where appraisers, mortgage brokers, and an attorney were all charged. If this appraiser loses his license, maybe other appraisers won't be so hasty to provide phony appraisals for Ameriquest. If Ameriquest is a predatory lender, anyone helping them to ripoff off homeowners should be prosecuted too!

As of November 2005 it is illegal to have a prepay penalty in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. If you refinanced after that, the loan has an illegal component.
