I was online looking at refinancing our home with a 40yr mortgage and cashing out some equity. I got to the question asking me the current value of my home. I have a rough idea of what it is worth based on local sales of similar sized/ similar construction homes, but I wanted to get more precise. I found on my current mortgage lenders site (Chase) a free service that will show the values of my home and those near me along with the sales history for a period of time. It was labeled as a free service to customers, but it uses a third party coany to gather the information. I reviewed to Terms and Conditions just to make sure that I was not going to be charged anything down the oad for the "free" service. I found this in the fine print:
You agree that the Partner may contact you (by email, by telephone or otherwise) using the information you provided with information and offers of services available through the Partner or any of its affiliates' websites. You hereby consent to any such communication or phone calls even if your phone number is on any Do Not Call list.
I guess this means that you basically sign away your rights to not be called... Just a reminder to read the terms and conditions whenever you register for anything. They can slip in all kinds of weird things in there, and simply clicking on "I Agree" can somehow make your life miserable, even if it is just an evening of peace without the phone ringing....
