I'm in a situation where I attained a home equity line a few months back through a local broker. It was a variable rate loan that the broker assured me could be "locked-in" at any given time. It was even mentioned on a conference call in front of the closing attorney. This option was never in the contract but was a service offered to customers. They dropped that option because of the current mortgage crisis without warning. I have that statement orally and in countless emails expressed to me. The lending instituation now won't offer that option and the broker has washed his hands of the matter. Do I have any legal recourse against someone that promised me something and could'nt deliver? Thanks in advance. Virginia1
