Was paid off 5/6/03, after we secured another mortgage. we have yet to receive the check for $17.04 which HFC said they owed us. We asked what the other charges were and HFC would not tell us. We believe we have been ripped off for $5000.00. HFC did tell us about a prepayment penalty but they also told us at the closing that any over payment would be taken off the princpal, and it wasn't. So we were forced to seek an alternative mortgage company. Which we are very happy with now.

Thank You...
