So, I got a form from the bank that sent me the flyer about a deal for mortgage pre-qualification, and boy do they want to know a lot. I really don't mind filling out forms, but this one is dumb. As an IT guy, it bothers me when someone wants something filled out and goes about it the wrong way. Why would I want to get a word document that I have to fill out by hand, then mail, fax, or scan back to the sender instead of one I can fill out and just send back electronically?
The lines to fill in are just underscores, so typing displaces the lines and totally messes up the document. What does that mean? I MUST fill it out by hand or go through an ordeal trying to fix the document after filling it all in. You would think that one of the big banks would be kind enough to invest in a pdf document that could be filled in and submitted, but unfortunately, no.
So, what do you think I should do, fill it out by hand and fax it back in? Scan it back? Fill it electronically? Or just ignore the bank altogether? I was told by a friend that I should limit the number of banks I apply to, so I don't have to go with this bank. But I was planning on it, in the hopes that they keep this deal going long enough for me to take advantage of it.
