AMERICAN EQUITY MORTGAGE

I gave them a check for $300 and they did the appraisal. He told me the reason I wasn't approved was because I needed to pay off some bills. He told me I didn't have enough equity to pay off the bills. I stopped payment on the appraisal check the next week. About 3 weeks later, he called me and he was upset about me putting a stop payment on the check. He then called me again a few days later and told me that it s a felony to stop payment on a check in Arizona and in Wisconsin. This made no sense to me as I didn't live in those states. The appraisal company then called and I explained to them what had happened. They were not aware of the agreement and said that they needed to be paid. I called consumer credit and BBB. I called the manager of the bank and explained everything. He told me he would talk to Ken about it and then call me back. He called me back later and he said it was all taken care of.
