Scott Veerkamp Predatory Lending: This shows the financial impact Yield Spread Premium has on the homeowner.

Scott Veerkamp is the President of the Franklin Township School Board and a member of the National Association of Realtors. I have documentation of two loans initiated by Scott containing Yield Spread Premium...

Loan 1: Contains a $1,440 Yield Spread Premium on a $120,000 property.

Loan 2: Contains a $4,799 Yield Spread Premium on a $150,000 property.

(a) The following documentation is not an example of a loan initiated by Scott Veerkamp. I am merely providing this example to show the financial impact of YSP on the homeowner.

(b) On average, mortgage brokers receive 1% of the loan amount each time they raise the interest rate .25%. In other words, the lender pays the broker a "kickback" for increasing the interest rate on the loan.

(c) What is the difference in cost between a 6% rate and a 6.5% rate on a $200,000 loan over 30 years? Here is the answer according to bankrate mortgage calculator: -($23,414.40)

(d) On the mortgage above, the broker would receive a $4,000 kickback or (2% of the loan amount) for increasing the interest rate .5%. Therefore, a family would pay an extra -($23,414.40) over 30 years because they did not receive the interest rate they qualified for.

(e) I believe most families would prefer to invest the $23,414.40 in EDUCATION. Clearly, this makes more sense than "wasting it" with a predatory loan.

(f) Therefore, I am asking Scott Veerkamp to answer the following questions: 1. How does Predatory Lending "protect and promote the interest of the client"? 2. How does Yield Spread Premium "keep the interest of the client above all else"?

*You can find YSP on the settlement in your mortgage documents. It will be listed as POC or "paid outside of closing".

RIPOFF: Is Scott Veerkamp honoring his fiduciary responsibility to his clients?

On a previous website, Scott posted the following information regarding his commitment to his clients: (a) Loyalty to clients. (b) Fiduciary responsibility to clients. (c) Truthfulness in statements and advertising.

Regarding his statements, please take time to review all the bullet points on his website. Upon review, it is obvious Scott is not being truthful with the information he is presenting. Clearly, Scott is using false statements to mislead the public with "Bait and Switch" tactics.

Here is an example of his deception...

Scott Veerkamp is misleading consumers with false information on his websites...

Download Open_house_bait_and_switch.pdf

Scott displayed an "OPEN HOUSES" link on the front page of his website in 2004. This is the same year I purchased the property listed with REMAX Central. Obviously, Scott used the OPEN HOUSES link as a tool for deceiving the public. In my case, he had no intention of conducting an open house.

When comparing the 2004 website to his current website, you will notice the REMAX brand name is missing on his current site.  Apparently, REMAX does not want to have their name associated with Scott Veerkamp when he discusses his work experience in the real estate industry. 

Please note:  Scott refused to drive (one block) to conduct an open house on the Eaton Court property...

1.  Scott Veerkamp is using Christian Phone Book to deceive the public.

2.  Is Predatory Lending an example of how to be a good "Christian"?

3.  Does a kickback on a predatory loan represent an example of "Serving Others First"?

4.  Scott Veerkamp is an IMPOSTER.  He is using Christian Phone Book to mislead consumers.

5.  Who is that person Scott is talking about in the PDF document?  Is this another individual Scott intends to (prey on) with false information?

Scott Veerkamp Misrepresented My Mortgage Documents

Please take time to review the following information...

I was misrepresented by Scott Veerkamp on my mortgage transaction. Scott had the property set up with a 12 month occupancy agreement when he listed the property.

When you look at Scott's response, he confirms the property is set up for a "flip." A Realtor can not flip a property with a 12 month occupancy agreement.

This is the reason Scott refused to show the property. In addition, this is the reason he refused to conduct an open house.

If Scott sold the property quickly, he would have to answer questions from the lender about violating the occupancy agreement. This is the reason he tried to sell the property on contract. As I said before, there is no mortgage on a land contract. If Scott sold the property on contract, only 3 people would know:  1. Myself  2. Scott  3. Chris Moore

GMAC would not know the property was sold on contract unless I contacted them to get permission. When you review the letter, it is clear GMAC is saying the property can not be sold on contract.

I know this sounds strange. However, the following statement is true: Scott listed a property HE COULD NOT SELL without violating the occupancy agreement.

Please remember: Scott received a WARNING letter from the office of the Indiana Attorney General. This government agency never blamed me for any issues relating to the transaction.

Here are 5 key points to review about the transaction...

1. It does not matter if I lived in the property.

2. It does not matter if the property was vacant.

3. Either way, Scott COULD NOT SELL the property without violating the terms of the occupancy agreement.

4. This is the reason he refused to show the property.

5. In the end, I met the financial requirements of the occupancy agreement. I made all the payments required over the 12 month period. In addition, I made all of my payments on time. For this reason, I did not have anyone from a government agency express concern about the occupancy agreement on my behalf. As many people do, I signed a stack of documents "one inch thick" at closing. I do not remember much about the details of the documents.

Please note: Scott had his mortgage license revoked by the office of the Indiana Secretary of State's Security Division. I do not know the reason his license was revoked. However, here is my documentation...

Scott Veerkamp: The Truth Is In His Fees (Yield Spread Premium and Junk Fees)

Here is additional information regarding Predatory Lending, excessive fees, and junk fees...

In a previous post, I made reference to "junk fees" on the mortgage documents. After reviewing these documents, it is obvious Scott Veerkamp felt comfortable charging junk fees to the public.

Here are some examples: 1. $960 application fee 2. $500 processing fee 3. $250 document preparation fee 4. $35 electronic filing fee 5. $50 courier fee

I can assure you, the following statements are true: (a) Junk fees do not "protect and promote the interest of the client." (b) These fees do not "keep the interest of the client above all else." (c) In reality, Scott was "making up" junk fees to "protect the interest of his bank account."

Please review this article from CNN Money regarding junk fees...

You can review Scott Veerkamp's mortgage documents here:

The National Association of Mortgage Brokers says it is not necessary to pay an application fee. Therefore, the "lowest possible price" for an application fee is ZERO.

Here is documentation of false advertising by Scott Veerkamp:

http://narrealtorbaitandswitchblog.blogspot.com/2011/02/scott-veerkamp-false-advertising.html

As I mentioned earlier, Scott has chosen an interesting title for his response: "The Truth Will Set You Free." I believe the following title would be more appropriate: "The Truth Is In His Fees." (Yield Spread Premium and Junk Fees)

Here is a copy of Scott Veerkamp's response. As you will see, he has no documentation to support his statements. Scott has no evidence to present because his response is loaded with lies...

http://narrealtorbaitandswitchblog.blogspot.com/2012/06/here-is-copy-of-response-from-scott.html

Do you think REMAX discontinued Scott's franchise agreement because they got tired of reviewing complaints against him? I feel certain REMAX was embarrassed by the number of complaints filed against him for false advertising and loan steering.
