Hey I got a question for all you vets out there?
I've never used my VA home loan (that's right "NEVER") and am in the process of jumping through the hoops to get my loan. Besides the normal stuff to qualify for a home loan they wanted a copy of my DD214 – so I scan a copy of it along with some other documents and shoot them off to her to get the ball rolling.
Well the following day the loan officer calls me back because she had an issue with my DD214 & told me that while “you can make most of it out – it was way too blurry” and asked if I could re-scan it or get another more legible copy.
Well my first thought was that she must’ve ever seen photocopies of photocopies of photocopies *originals* as is the tradition in military circles. As many of you could surely attest – anybody familiar with the working cogs & paperwork of the Military wouldn’t ask such a foolish question. /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/wink.gif
Anyway I told the loan that I’d let her use my certified & stamped “original copy” (love that term) along with the document it came with certifying it’s authenticity from the government when I asked for another copy. She agreed to try to use that document – when I told her that it could take weeks to get another and the odds where good that it’d look just as bad.
Personally I think it looks fine for an 8 year old photocopy of a 30+ year old government document, but was wondering if there is a way to get another document.
