Mortgage refinance hidden closing costs misrepresented as no-cost

Consumers are told mortgage refinances have no cost, then discover thousands in closing costs financed into their principal upon disclosure review. Despite multiple attempts to escalate, borrowers cannot get clear explanations or access to supervisors. The gap between verbal representations and loan disclosures leaves consumers financially worse off without recourse.
