What You Need To Know Before You Refinance Your Home.
Be aware of  the signs of Predatory Lending Practices. If any of the following applies to your transaction know your rights. Federal credit law gives you three days to reconsider a signed credit agreement and cancel the deal without penalty. Your "right to rescind" or "right to cancel" is guaranteed by the Truth In Lending Act (read more...) You can rescind for any reason but only if you are using your principal residence as collateral.
do not sign until you have resolved all questions or have reviewed all terms and conditions with someone you trust or a trusted professional not involved with the loan or mortgage.

Beware if...

You are approached by any repair or home renovation company that refers you to a lender.

You are promised one loan and find that the paperwork reflects different terms than originally
discussed.

You will be subject to an unreasonably high payment due at the end of or during the term of your loan.

Your monthly payment or interest rate is higher than expected.

You realize that there are a lot of excessive fees included in your loan.

You feel the closing costs are excessive.

You are requested to sign the paperwork prior to signing the loan paperwork.

Your lender includes information that is not truthful.

You find the loan confusing and your lender does not take the time to fully explain all terms.

Your loan requires very high insurance payments as a condition.

You are going to be fined or charged prepayment penalties if you pay off your loan early.
