    On april 30th I closed on my refinance mortgage loan with Countrywide. Since then they have pulled 2 hard inquiries (5/2 and 5/10) on all 3 CRAs. Why are they doing this??

    Probably a mistake...

    CALL AND ASK THEM...

    Tell them it is hurting your credit score!!!

    STOP IT!!!!!!!!!

    Wouldn't it be a "DONE DEAL" even with low scores if you have 20% or more EQUITY???

    How could they lose???

    Yes a lender will refinance with 20% or more in equity. However, if there is not a major improvement in the interest rate, then it wouldn't be advantageous to uniondiva or anyone else. And no, a conventional lender will NOT automatically give you conventional rates just because you wish them to.

    If you can get 1-2% lower, or "CUT" the number of years...GO FOR IT...

    Many people are taking 20 or 15 year mortgages when they re-finance...and the payments still can be lower...
