**A: the fee you paid was for his mortgage company not to him personally. Therefore you work with the mortgage company unless the company agrees to transfer the fee to his new mortgage company.

Or if you really trust your LO, see if he'll credit you the fee and continue to work with him at his new company, which he presumably thinks is better.

Read through your paperwork and be sure you have no contractual obligation to the old company if that is what you'd like to do.

Ask the old boss to return your application fee. Then find another LO and another mortgage company.

**A: then file a written complaint against the mortgage broker.

Yep. What the loan officer did as an employee of the mortgage company is illegal and shows that the supervising broker of record did not have proper control.

i just talked to the owner of the second co and the lo has been fired. he says he is reimbursing the people whom this guy took advantage of and he assumes the other co will do the same. as of this time i have left a message and am waiting for his call.i intend to ask him what steps to take against this guy.

The second broker is a good guy. Ask to work with one of his better LO's.

#1 You should NEVER pay an application fee.
#2 The broker was representing the company, a decent company would refund your fee and still work hard to get your mortgage done.
#3 You should report him and his company to the commerce department of your state. They can pull both of their licenses if they scam customers.
