There are a ton of places to go to for a fixed mortgage, start calling
and checking elsewhere - why waste time being aggravated with a
company you already dont feel comfortable with.

Plus they need your business more than you need theirs, so chances are
theyll start getting competitive once they know youre checking with
several lenders.

cancelled if you don't get the paperwork?
(Last year I closed on a house purchase where this happened. I simply
could NOT get them to give me the final true cash amount I needed to bring, in
order to complete the closing. They kept telling me to just bring a check for
the amount in the GFE. The settlement agent did a double-take when she saw
that our check was over $1,000 MORE than the final amount we needed to pay. We
were lucky it was that way and not $1000 under! Still, refund check in hand,
I was not amused.)

I just politely informed the closing agent that I wasn't going to spend two
hours reading documents in the title office and said that I knew they had to be
prepared ahead of time anyway, so please fax or email them to me. She wasn't
real happy, but when I repeated the request, she agreed.
