I was offered a no cost Home Equity Line, I accepted, & everything went smoothely until they sent me my first statement which showed a $99 charge to me. They said that this is a fee charged by my previous bank for reconveying the title in California. This is a necessary fee to close this loan but Third Fed wants me to pay although their solicitation letter said; "No closing costs, fees, or penalties" and in bold print "NO HIDDEN COSTS". Sure looks like a fee to me, hidden or otherwise.
