<div><em><strong>Funky Chicken</strong> asked: </em><br/><br/><br/>I had something come up that I had to put about $8,000 on my credit card. Instead of paying for it with the credit card company and their inflated interest rates, should I take a loan out to pay it off? I guess I could refinance the house to get out of the debt, but I am happy with my loan&#8230; Any suggestions?<br/><br/><a href=''>Raymond</a></div>

<div><em><strong>kincaid1</strong> asked: </em><br/><br/><br/>We refinanced our home recently.  I was asked how much our existing loan amount was, lets say I told the loan officer it was $110,600.  He said we&#8217;ll round it up to $111,500 because there is usually more that is owed than what you see on your statement.  When we closed, it said our payoff amount to the old loan was $110, 976 and my new loan amount was going to be $111,500.  Why don&#8217;t they just refinance the payoff loan amount?  Does that mean that the bank just made an extra $500 off of us to refinance?  Why is it done this way?  Thanks for any help.<br />
James, yes I reviewed the GFE and paid the closing costs out of pocket.<br/><br/><a href=''>Ruben</a></div>

<div><em><strong>msellusion</strong> asked: </em><br/><br/><br/>My husband and I are divorced and now he is moving out and told me that I could continure living in the house til I decide that I want to sell it. Is there a way to legally take over the loan without my name being on it without refinancing due to bad credit? AND if not and i continue to live here til we sell it, is there a good contract for us to go by as where is not allowed to stop by, make changes, sell out from underneath me? I dont want to see him ever here unless I invite him and I need to know will that contract hold any ground by us creating it between us and just having it noterized. I do trust him, its whomever he gets with that I do not trust to change his mind about being so nice to me.<br/><br/><a href=''>Julie</a></div>
