    I received a letter saying I was prequalified for additional funds on my reverse mortgage. My original reverse mortgage was granted on an appraisal of $241,000. My home is now valued at $375,000 to $400,000. I called AFMS on Friday morning. My information was taken, and I was told a mortgage specialist would contact me before the end of the day. I WAS NOT contacted Friday, Saturday, or Sunday. I called Monday morning but had to leave a message with an answering service. It is now 4:45 pm on the same Monday and still no reply. If for whatever reason I was suddenly disqualified, that is a decision to be debated or accepted. However, to ignore or leave a qualified customer/borrower in limbo, in my opinion, is unprofessional and certainly not worthy of a five-star rating with the BBB. Very, very disappointed with the conduct of AFMS.

    Our analysis of the information you provided was not complete the same day you called in.  Our representative did follow up the next morning at 9:44 am (Saturday).  Your voicemail picked up and given the sensitive nature of the information she choose not to leave a message and to try and follow up with you at the start of the week.  She was out on Monday and was going to give you a call today.  You should be expecting a call from one of our representatives today.

    Thank you.
