I personally wasn't given a choice. My mortgage was sold to them soon after I signed it with a local bank. Fortunately the rates were locked in so WF hasn't had an opportunity to fuck me over, but it was still an unpleasant surprise.

The New York fabulist accomplished practically nothing in his political career, just self-promotion through sheer chutzpah
In a way, George Santos is one of the great success stories of American politics.
The New York congressman is not responsible for exceptional legislative achievements. His brief tenure in Congress will not be held up as a success story for students of political history.
Santos’s accomplishment has instead been to win election by weaving a staggering, barely believable web of lies, deception and deceit that is surely unmatched in the modern age.
That wave of fabrication helped Santos win election in November 2022. But a year later, the 35-year-old has been charged with 23 federal crimes, and while he has managed to cling on to his seat in the House of Representatives, he could find himself booted out of there when Congress returns to DC next week.
The list of Santos’s lies bears digging into.
While he was running for Congress, Santos lied about almost everything that had ever happened to him. Sometimes it was to embellish his résumé and make himself appear more electable, but frequently, and fascinatingly, he lied for no reason at all, about things of zero consequence to his political career.
