How can i be sure my lender isnt taking advantage of me?

Question by music2discover: How can i be sure my lender isnt taking advantage of me?
I recently refinanced my home and obtained a second mortgage that was to adjust with the national index posted in The Wall St Journal on the first day of each month> I was told this index hasnt changed in 12-24 months however my rate went from 8% to 12% in just the last three months. Can someone explain how I can check to be sure my lender isn’t giving me the shaft and if they are– how do I challenge this?Is there an agency I can bring my note to and have them review it? In 6 months the lender says my rate can go as high as 15%- help!!

    You need to see a real estate lawyer.

    It appears they put the ARM (adjustable rate mortgage) on you and you should consider selling the house asap and try again with the help of a real estate lawyer that you hired before you sign anything.
