Hi Sanford, I'm sorry to hear about the difficulties you are dealing with. Do you still have an adjustable rate mortgage? Has the interest rate reset yet ? As far as legal recourse, it's a hard situation to prove. They are just going to say that you were provided the documents and you should have read them more carefully. I know it sounds harsh, but its the sad truth. If you still have your adjustable rate mortgage, you may now want to look into some other options on a fixed rate mortgage. With the changes to FHA lending guidelines and FHA county loan limits, there are more people than ever that qualify for some of the best rates out there. Whether your credit score is 580 or 880, as long as you meet the other credit requirements, you should be able to get a fixed rate that is considerably lower than what you have right now. With the drop you'll see in the payment, you should be able to cover whatever the prepayment penalty is within a matter of months. If you still have this loan and need more information, let me know. I'll be happy to point you in the right direction. Good luck!
