Cardinal Financial poor custormer experience
Mazda of Cardinal Financial first contacted me about my mortgage inquiry. I advised him I had good credit score, good loan to value, and house would apprise for 220K, with less then 50% being owed. I did have an unusual circumstance, and would need to be carefully reviewed. After 3 weeks of reviews, the loan officer in a text advised me the company had approved it. He asked me to pay for an appraisal and it would cost $500. I paid Cardinal Financial the $500 and put the appraisal fee on a credit card, and waited for the appraiser to call me for an inspection. Two weeks went by and Mazda (loan officer) said they were backed up. Then promised in another text his loan director would call me. Another three days went by and I called Cardinal Financial again, and was put on a long hold. Finally they said the director would call me right back. Over an hour later, the director called me and said they decided they are not able to do the mortgage. Cardinal Financial has not refunded the money for the appraisal yet, and no appraisal has been done.

Mr. Lindsey, Cardinal works hard to meet our clients expectations and there are times when we fall short. After reviewing your file, Cardinal's Consumer Advocacy Team has determined your above mentioned unusual circumstance was directly related to Cardinal not being able to originate your loan. Cardinal issued a refund for the appraisal you paid for, that did not take place, on May 11, 2017. It can take up to 10 business days for your appraisal refund to be credited to your account, depending on your credit card company.
