I began the process to refi my house with usbank they charged me up front with my visa credit card an appraisal was done. One week prior to closing they called and changed the terms of the loan saying that because the home is a manufactured home the terms were different. When the original appraisor called I asked if they knew that the home was manufactured, they said no but would contact us bank for another appraisor to come out. Which they did. Our original loan was with us bank. They had this information.Needless to say we did not continue the transaction w/them. We refied with another bank i have now discovered that us bank charged my account the 0 appraisal fee without notification.We would have continued with the loan had they not changed the terms from 30 year fixed 0pts to 20 years 1pt. I don’t believe they are correct in doing this as THEY changed the terms of the loan! Help I want my 0 back!

My husband and I were pre-approved for a FHA loan on a manufactured home through that company’s lender. But after researching, we think a site built home will be better in the long run. We went to Wells Fargo since that is where we bank. Currently the FHA loan is in underwriting. Since we were approved once, does that mean we will get approved again and for the same amount?
**We went through our bank for the site built home and explained everything to the loan officer. We have gave her our paperwork and when I spoke w/her earlier this week for a status, she mentioned our paperwork was given to the processors and is in underwriting. I figured she meant in the pre-approval process.
Also, we never signed a go ahead w/the manufactured home company. Instead we went to our bank for the stick built home loan.

"cities that have lost major parts of their population have seen their flagship industries, which include coal, steel, oil, and auto-related manufacturing, fall off or completely collapse. America moved away from its status as an industrial superpower in the second half of the 20th century as the services sector rose to replace it. Millions of U.S. manufacturing jobs have moved overseas."

As manufacturing has dwindled due to lack of domestic sales…..Employers move jobs overseas or society relies too much on things made overseas.

US carries 12+ trillions of national debt. Every American average owes 000+ credit card debt not mentioning their mortgege, home equity loans, student loans, car loans,….US owes Chinese 2 trillion dollars in the form of treasury bills. US has lost most of its manufacturing capability to foreign nations. Both government and its people have spent all the money they never had at its first place. Yet, we have been hearing the bailout bills everywhere during past 2 months. Could anyone help me to understand where government bailout money comes from besides printing more paper money?
Which nation is willing to deposit their money into World Bank?
American taxpayers have broken already. The total tax revenue of 2007 is only 2568 billion dollars and its 2007 spending is 2730 billions.
China has got hurt by loaning 2 trillion dollars to US, why should the Communist nation buy more US T-bills?
If my memory serves me right, during our 1930s’ great depression, Russia was the only country that had their GDB growing at 20+% every year and it helped to transform the nation from an agriculture nation to an industrial country just in time to do battle with the Germans during WWII.
If we look around the world, China and Russia are the only nations that are not affected by global financial mess. My concern is while the wesntern nations stay in great depression, instead of loaning money to the World Bank, China and Russia have the best opportunity to grow their economy, their military power to surpass US and European nations. Then, there will be a new balance of world power. Will such reality concern our government and American people?

These who aid and abet illegals are claiming to always be breaking laws to help the poor illegal aliens, do you believe it to be for humanitarian reasons or are these people out to make money off illegals?
Should they be excused from their criminal actions because they whine they are doing it for humanitarian reasons?
Should all who aid and abet any illegal be prosecuted?

Man ordered to prison for selling fake documents to undocumented immigrants

By Melinda Rogers

The Salt Lake Tribune

Martin says he is a humanitarian who wanted to help undocumented immigrants get the same chance to work in the U.S. that he had been afforded when arriving legally from El Salvador years ago.

The U.S. District Attorney’s Office says Contreras-Parada is a criminal who manufactured more than 1,000 fake immigrant visas, permits, green cards, border crossing cards and other documents in a business venture where he profited from undocumented immigrants’ desperation to find papers allowing them to work after crossing the border illegally.

The two theories collided in federal court on Monday, where Contreras-Parada was sentenced to serve 41 months in a federal prison after pleading guilty in October to felony fraud with identification documents and selling firearms to a felon. He was indicted by a federal grand jury in January 2010.

Contreras-Parada’s case landed in court after he became one of the first arrests made by the Utah Attorney General’s Office SECURE Strike Force, established in June 2009 to target crime by undocumented immigrants. The strike force — financed by a two-year, .2-million grant from federal stimulus funds — includes a fraudulent documents identification unit.

Authorities found 36 hologram laminates for making fake alien registration receipt cards, 183 blank Social Security cards, 13 fake complete Social Security cards and 61 partial alien registration receipt cards. They also found cutting tools, fingerprint pads, glue, lamination papers and photographs when they served a search warrant on Contreras-Parada’s West Valley City home in August 2009.

The strike force found evidence that he had manufactured and was prepared to create more than 1,000 fake documents, said Special Assistant U.S. Attorney Jacob Taylor.

Contreras-Parada, 46, told U.S. District Judge Tena Campbell that he only sold the documents as a way to help undocumented immigrants, some of whom were living in overcrowded apartments in Salt Lake County with no way to make a living.

Contreras-Parada also admitted to selling a Glock 21 .45-caliber semiautomatic pistol to an immigrant who feared a person he hired to sneak him into the country illegally might cause him harm.

“There are people who live here that live in a little apartment and can’t get ahead. I didn’t make any riches in the sale. I sold them to people who needed them to work,” Contreras-Parada said before Campbell handed down his prison sentence.

“I didn’t harm anyone. I didn’t sell drugs or make anyone sick. I helped people who wanted to support their families.”

Campbell said she would weigh Contreras-Parada’s years of working in the community as a legal resident into his sentence. Contreras-Parada’s wife, son and daughter attended his hearing in support.

But Campbell also told him that his crimes are “serious” and said the number of false documents recovered in his home by investigators was troubling.

Contreras-Parada responded that some in law enforcement who arrested him likely had ancestors who immigrated to the U.S. at one point “without papers.” He acknowledged he broke the law but said he did it for good reason.

“They were very poor people who asked me for help,” he said.

Taylor said that Contreras-Parada owned rental property with his wife to earn income outside of the document mill. His wife worked in a factory, he said.

Contreras-Parada’s attorney, Alexander John Helfer of the Sandy-based Tejada Law Firm, said his client’s ability to stay in the country once he finishes his prison term may be in jeopardy. Contreras-Parada had status as a lawful permanent resident but could be processed for deportation to El Salvador as a result of his convictions.
