I applied for a mortgage, yesterday they were just finishing up and did a "hard pull" on my credit. All looks good, right?
This morning, starting at 8am, I started getting calls from people wanting to sell me mortgages.
It's 2pm and there have been over 30 so far. I called my broker and asked him WTF was going on and had RocketMortgage been hacked or something?
Turns out EXPERIAN SELLS YOUR INFORMATION AS A LEAD WHEN THERE IS A HARD PULL.
Can you fucking believe that? These fuckers are calling me like, "Hi Dan, It's John Smith, I'm calling about your mortgage application. Do you have a minute to help me get some additional information"
And then when I realize he's just a fucking scammer, he's like, "Oh, you filled out an online form and we're just responding.... " and then hung up.
THIRTY CALLS.
I have the Opt-Out and all that stuff done now, but WTF? How the FUCK is that "ok"? If my bank or doctor or insurance company did shit like that.... or do they?
God, I'm so pissed.
