Trace Financial

Trace Financial Inc Bob O'Connor paid $3,500 for a mortgage that didn't happen Tampa, Florida

5th of May, 2011 by User507819

I received an offer to qualify for a 6% 30yr mortgage. Received a pre-approval and upon putting a contract on a property, gave Trace $3500 upfront cost of loan. This began in November 2010. he property fell through due to my inspection. The $3500 moves onto the next property. Continued putting offers on properties, losing out to higher bids or better terms, Trace requires 60 days to close. After losing two more bids, with the second being directly related to the length of closing. Trace wouldn't budge on that 60 day rule. The next property the seller said loan officer, Bob O Connor was not returning my calls, and he would not sign a contract unless I put up non refundable $10,000 earnest money, because he believed my lender to be a fraud. I contacted Bob with my concern and asked for something to legitimize themselves or my money back. Got nothing, except he didn't think so. My initial research had not shown up any complaints in the BBB or ripoff reports. I found [email protected] They supposedly research companies and let you know, they e-mailed me back Trace Financial was fraudulent. I then filed a complaint with the BBB March 10, 2011. They never got a response from Trace Financial. And now I look on this site and have seen others have been involved too. Would love to go after them. I do know they paid Coester appraisal for which I will research more. I wold think there would be a way to find these people

We had the Beverly, MA police go to Bobs home address back in February, 2011. His neighbors say he stays in Florida over the winter. His name is one the mailbox . We have sent him certified letters which come back to us as not received, . We then placed a claim in small claims court to try to get some money and at least get something on record against Bob. They give you a court date and when he doesn't show there is a warrant against him. Not that that will catch him but it may catch up with him at some point.

A Florida state office was in touch with us regarding Trace but I don't hear from them often... so there are people investigating them. Hope we get these people. They are sick

We were also scammed by him and Trace Financial. I have several addresses for Trace and Ann Ursiny and family. We also lost $3, 500 and the who ordeal, which is completely the same, put us out $15k and we lost our dream home because of it. I was also pregnant at the time. That is a lot to lose for us.
