Narrative (may be redacted).

My wife and I entered a home purchase contract on XXXX XXXX, 2015 in XXXX, AZ. We switched to Wells Fargo Home Mortgage branch of XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, AZ on XXXX XXXX, 2015. We showed them our sales contract Which had a COE date of XXXX XXXX, 2015. However, we asked if they could accommodate the original sales contract date of XXXX XXXX, 2015. They fully assured us that they could reach that goal, I asked about possibilities that could hold them up, and they did not propose any situations and just restated they could meet our requested goal. We informed them of our previous lender, so they could contact them if needed. Since our inspections were complete and we were conditionally approved for the loan, on XXXX XXXX, 2015 we asked when our appraisal would get done. An answer was not given back to us until XXXX XXXX, 2015, and we were told our file is now in underwriting and an appraisal would be completed on or before XXXX XXXX, 2015. On XXXX XXXX, 2015, I called the branch manager to voice my displeasure with the service and lack of integrity on their part as they have not kept their word XXXX now. He answered and said he would look into it and contact me back in 15 minutes. He never contacted me back. The appraisal did not get completed until XXXX XXXX, 2015, and no explanation was given to us as to why. For the next few weeks, I got no solid information as to a closing date, I fixed minor items they asked for instantly ( why were n't these requested earlier in the process? ). They kept telling me I was in line to close and it could happen any day, so for two weeks I set up moving arrangements, incurred more expenses, paid more unanticipated rent, experienced difficulty at work, and struggled with frustration. I finally showed up unannounced to their branch and got to speak in person with the branch manager. He fully acknowledged his team and other parts of Wells Fargo had let me down and did not live up to expectations, provided poor communication, and had incomplete work. Furthermore, he said there was a big issue with the appraisal not getting done in a timely fashion, but could not explain why that was not relayed to me. I told him that prevented me from looking for an alternate lender by not disclosing that there were issues. Today is XXXX XXXX, 2015 which is 5 days before the sales contract expires. I could lose the house, the money I paid for inspections, and months of effort and wasted frustration if Wells Fargo continues their poor professional work and the closing is not completed in the next 5 days.
