<p>My husband and I have been looking for a van for about 10 months and three weeks ago found the perfect van, year of manufacture, mileage, floor plan, all updates, etc., 2016 Fleetwood Bounder LX 33C, used.<br><br>I immediately bought a loan for a car on wheels, and Southeast Financial came back with a better rate and term, so I applied and got approved.<br>The SEF demanded our ID cards and the NADA price and demanded an inspection of the van, which we wanted to do anyway. No one buys a new or used van without a thorough inspection.<br><br>Anyway, I was wondering where my credit package was, they should have emailed it to me. Come to find out that they want the private seller to send them a copy of the title deed and sign the POA so that the SEF can change the title deed or certificate of ownership before they release the funds. This is what is required by the SEF, I have asked to familiarize myself with their RV lending practices/policies. Needless to say, the seller does not like this, as well as I do, and we would like SEF to use the escrow service.<br><br>I am reaching out to the community to find out if this is a standard process when it comes to a private seller, or if someone has encountered a similar process or can advise how to deal with it so that we can finance the loan.<br><br>Thank you all in advance.<br></p>
