Firstly, I'm sorry for all the folks that got ripped off by Ameriquest Mortgage. I, too, was looking for a lender and was approached by Ameriquest. I got a call just tonight (March 15, 2005) from an Ameriquest representative in Sacramento, CA. I told him, "Sorry, but I know about you because of RipoffReport.com." The guy had an oily chuckle as I hung up the phone on him. I did talk to a local lender today as I've switched gears and will be building rather than buying. I told him of Ameriquest and he said that they are the only company he feels strongly enough about to warn folks away from. He also told me that a class action suit is in the works, so all of you out there with unresolved problems regarding Ameriquest, be on the watch for the suit to be announced. Good luck, and always check RipoffReport before doing anything!

I wasn't sure what I should do, so what I did was, I sent a complaint to ACORN, and the Attorney General. So lets see what, if anything happens. If something does, you better believe I'll let everyone know. If I get no results then I'll find another road, because I don't think I'm ready to give up just yet. The more people I hear of that were hurt by this company, the angrier I'm getting. There has to be a way to throw some of the hurt right back at them! Ameriquest, soon to be AMC mortgage services, Gee I wonder why they changed their name, because you can change a name, but not a reputation, Anyway, Ameriquest is getting away with what they are doing and I can't figure out how. But I'll keep trying. I'm looking into class action lawsuits, and I'm putting complaints in every place that will let me. I may not be able to make them change their ways, or fix the wrongs they have done, but they'll sure know who I am!!!

I would strongly suggest NOT using ACORN. My relatives used them, everything was fine. They did as ACORN wanted them to do, as they contacted Ameriquest. Lot of good it did. NONE. They denied everything that they JUST made an agreement upon. Then, ACORN all of a sudden jumped ship. They ended up NOT helping, no response was made, no phone calls returned. They said they had no ACORN in that state and Ameriquest told them to stay out of it. Tells all of you that awful power AQUEST has. I read an article in the LA Times and NY Times. ACORN was paid off by AQUEST to tell people what they wanted to hear and make promises. But, the promises were just that. It is very sad this happens and it happens to others we have have come across.
