Can a mortgage company deny or rescind after issuing a letter of commitment and closing date?

Posted on: 28th Oct, 2010 05:03 pm
After two months of jumping through hoops, our mortgage company finally gave us a letter of commitment and set a closing date for a week from now ... however, they are still in the process of gathering documents and have given us a list of conditions along with the letter of commitment. Even though we have complied all the conditions submitted, they are asking for further information and explanation regarding these conditions, even looking into previously approved situations such as child support and credit counseling. If they find discrepancies or errors, can they deny the loan? we are just days from closing. What does a letter of commitment with conditions really mean? and is it possible for a mortgage company to deny after approval.
Hi music!

Welcome to forums!

There are chances that the lender can deny the loan if they find there are discrepancies or errors in the information given by you. However, once a letter of commitment is issued, the lender will normally not cancel the loan.

Feel free to ask if you've further queries.

Welcome keith,

If you haven't signed the loan commitment letter, then you should sign it now. This is a letter which explicitly mentions the terms under which the lender agrees to lend money to a borrower over a particular period of time.

I don't think it sounds fishy, Keith. Lots of lenders don't require that a customer return a signed copy of a commitment letter.

As for a commitment accompanied by conditions, it is precisely that: a conditional commitment. Once all conditions are satisfied, a consumer then has a full commitment for the lender to grant the loan requested. If any of the supporting documentation supplied fails to meet the condition asked for, a lender has every right to deny the loan request at that time.

It's pretty far-fetched that they'd schedule a closing based on a mere conditional commitment. Apparently, they are super-confident that all conditions will be met - in full, and on time.
