Resolved Question: Refi'd Mortgage for debt consolidation - No one paid off creditors ?

When I refinanced my mortgage in May 07 the mortgage broker included 5405.01 in payments allocated to credit collections on my HUD statement.
His broker fees were around 6900.
I explained that the bulk of the CC collections was for a deceased relative's account of whom I was only the authorized user.
My broker said it would tak eso long to dispute it that i was better of refing and paying it off and that my credit score would go up a lot.
Well 7 months later in late November I needed a small home equity loan. I have 165k in equity in my house still and World Savings/Wachovia assured me I should easily get the loan.
Instead they turne dme down due to credit rating.
I pulled all credit reports.
3 of the 4 owed creditors still show up. So my credit was not improved!
Who was responsible for the payoffs ? My mortgage broker or the title company ? i should add that ive just gone thru junk mail and found a collection agency dated 11/07 still demanding payment on the largest collection. (4600- HSBC wasonly authorized user though) ironically theyre only asking for 50% of total.
if they were payed why are they stll asking?
what a headache. :-( To last answerer, Im in PA.
HSBC switched the debt to my name after my late grandfather died.
this was several years ago and at the time i was flush with cash and working a 60 hr a week job in nyc. So the only thing i did was call hsbc and write them a letter telling them since i never opened it, to remove me.
i also wrote the credit reporting agencies.
I shouldve followed up. But HSBC are total @##$%^ to have transferred it to me.
Now I will follow up on it one way or another.
