I applied for a Bank of America HELOC then changed my mind and declined to sign the docs. Bank of America in Arizona, paid off my second mortgage and funded the HELOC without signature. They realized their error and offered me a fixed rate mortgage at the rate I requested of 6.24%. They have now established two loans for me. They are also demanding that I sign the original loan documents at 8.49% variable or they will convert the loan to an unsecured loan. What can I do?
