military.com not just for vets. Its also a big money making monopoly and conroll's what you see. ripoff to Veterans Descrimintation Internet

I thought everything was on the up and up with them. I was impressed the first time I went there. Thought it was nice to have a site like that, it "appeard" as though it was set up to actually help vets.

Well, being a business owner and a veteran. I decided I would enter a discount in there business discount for service members link. Time went on...a week went by. I looked up my business....nothing posted. I did recieve a call from the site but I wasnt able to answer it and I called back. The person on the phone denighed any involvment with www.military.com. But a search on the phone number showed other wise.

Three weeks went by and I was very disappointed that my discount wasnt posted. There is no way to contact anyone but an automated email that is never answered. Other mortgage people (a few) posted there business but they werent letting me post mine. So I took it ot the forum. This was in hopes of getting some sort of answer as to why they werent allowing me to post my discount. They deleted it.

Well what was disappointment turned into anger. So I posted in 2 other links. Then they banned me from the site. There arguments were this:

It shows your state has no minimum requirements to be a broker. It's also a field that's brought you onto discussion boards seeking business. You say you're trying to help veterans and already received 3 calls from this posting. That's doubtful. You appear desperate and untruthful who can't follow simple TOS.}

Now the real problem comes in because I posted (in the last post)that they have direct affilitations or do business with mortgage people which is for there own gain. Not the service members. But I am a veteran, I really do help people. I mentioned that I have 8 fha/va loans Im working with right now. 6 of them have came from other lenders that didnt know what they were doing.

I have a feeling this scpd3045 is a broker himself. Just trying to save his market. I already know that Monster (affiliate of military.com) has close business relationships with ameriquest, lendingtree and ditech.

Well recently Ameriquest settled a 324 million dollar lawsuite for there shady dealings. Thousands of people across the US are losing there homes because of what they did to them.

Lendingtree....theyre in court now. Theyre the ones that have 4 lenders competing for your loan. Theyre finding out that the only competition was who would pay the most to there in house lender.

Then theres ditech. the 395 closing costs. Well you have to go to there website to find out the truth. They advertise the 5.5 30 year fixed but when you look at there actual rates. Well Ill give you a story. I was with a client that kept talking aobut ditech. We price compared. I would have made 8000.00 more on the loan if I would have agreed to the way ditechs loans are structured.

Well anyway, I am a business owner. I am a veteran that spent most of my 7 years (well 6.8 years overseas)in the military over seas doing hardship tours. When I got back from the gulf five friends of mine died from mysterious illness (liver failure, one had a d**n worm in his brain), I did my time.

I feel desciminated against. I also feel that military.com is not being used as it should. Im calling for the goverment to step in and take the URL away from the company.
