Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Florida

Never signed the loan application

I paid off a loan for a timeshare recently. Today I recieved a letter with a copy of my loan application which is UNSIGNED. They want me to sign the application for the loan I just finished paying. Today I'm angry with them and want to know whether I can use this to my advantage in any way that is legal, regardless of morality or civility.

If you do not agree, then stop right here, and do not read any further.

I have no idea why a lender would ask you to sign a loan application after it has been paid. I also have no idea what you might expect from them to "use this to my advantage in any way that is legal, regardless of morality or civility". That makes no sense to me.

Mistakes happen in loan closing regularly and documents have to be resigned. I am sure that when you got the loan you signed an errors and ommissions agreement of some sort wherein you agreed to resign whatever instrument might be necessary or any new documents providing they do not change the terms of the loan as this is standard procedure.

I would suggest you spend your time doing something more productive.

Wait until tomorrow when you are happy, sign the contract, send it to them, and move on with your life and your fully-owned timeshare. And we'll all forget about the momentary failing in your moral character.
