Lucky us. So glad we get to be the ones back on our feet financially, not her.

For the worst offender (literally one offer a day, every day) I wrote them and said I will never finance with you, take me off your list. They did, thankfully. Now I'm down to about 2-3 a week. I was surprised, too, when one of my loans came out of the prepayment penalty period and I got mail saying "now that you don't have a prepayment penalty...". I guess everything is for sale in this world. I was amazed at how many offers I got.

I don't get it. Why are companies paying the costs to send these mailings? I just closed a mortgage; why would I refinance?
