I won't name the lender just yet (let's call them Lender A). I funded a renewal with Lender A. It was a very smooth funding, and this has been a repeat client several times. It was a smooth process until it comes time to get paid. I get an email two days after funding being told that this lender is no longer able to release commission without a California Lender/Broker license. Now, every lender is different. Some are known to require it and decline the submission upfront unless the license is on file (Rapid, QuarterSpot, Kapitus, etc.) and others don't require it. Lender A decided to make no mention of this requirement at all during the renewal and funding process until AFTER the deal was already done. Now I'm out several thousands of dollars and I can barely get anyone to communicate with me at the company (this is a very well known lender as well).

Am I out of place to think this is wrong on their part?
