Seeking Revenge on a Lender

[Nate Bell]

I know, it’s a little dramatic. But really, I’ve had a lender just totally underperform, lie, dodge, stall, and then blame me, and I’m about to miss a closing date as a result. I’m now either gonna lose my earnest money and all the time and money I’ve invested into getting my offer accepted, or I’m gonna have to pay through the nose for a hard money loan to get the property. This group of misfits is gonna cost me $3k-$8k. This is a mid-size bank in the Pacific Northwest.

Other than just not doing business with them anymore, and telling all my friends, is there anything else I can do to make their lives as miserable as they’ve made mine? Better Business Bureau? Social Media? Flaming bags of poo?

What happened? 

I really can't tell you how many times I feel that I've been screwed by a borrower or Realtor or someone else, but I've never concluded that the highest and best use of my time was revenge-seeking. Karma will take care of it all in the end, I don't need to worry about it.
