@veteransunited @DeptVetAffairs I was told that you don't require a septic inspection for a VA home loan, yet I was told peeling paint needed to be fixed to get the loan. I paid for a septic inspection before we agreed to buy the house. The inspector said it needed a new septic tank but messed up checking the drain field—they checked a random part of the yard instead of the actual drain field and said it was good. The real drain field was bad and not caught because of the inspector's error. Now, after saving for over six years as a 100% disabled veteran, I'm in a house that needs a $30K–$60K sand mound installed. I wouldn't have bought the house if I had known this or have the sellers fix it beforehand like they did with the tank. When I originally looked at using @veteransunited, I saw this on their website: veteransunited.com/realestat… Based on that, I thought we uploaded the septic inspection report along with the other reports, and you gave me the loan since the inspections looked good. We have proof the septic inspector messed up—he drew a draft of their backyard showing where he checked the drain field, which is not the drain field. So when I reached out to see if you would help, I was told you don't require a septic inspection and that I'm on my own. I was going off the website, which says: 3. Leach Field Drainage The leach field, where waste is distributed and treated, must have proper drainage. It should allow for effective absorption of the treated wastewater into the soil. Inadequate drainage can lead to septic system failures and contamination risks. 4. Leach Field Compaction The leach field must not be compacted in any way. Soil compaction can reduce the absorption capacity of the leach field, leading to sewage backups and environmental issues. If you gave the loan based on a bad inspection report that you accepted, I thought you would help in this situation with your massive ability and backing. Instead, I was told the website is wrong and that you are going to correct it. So much for being there for the veterans who choose you. I know this isn't your fault—it's the septic inspector's—but it would have been nice if you actually worried about something so expensive and critical instead of peeling paint. @DeptVetAffairs Why is this allowed? Why are these requirements so messed up and flawed? If you actually cared, you wouldn't want a veteran who saved for years to put his family in a home to get screwed over this badly. If you made a thorough septic inspection mandatory for each loan, then in a situation like this you could use your backing to help hold the septic company accountable and not leave a veteran in this position. Now I'm going to struggle to either pay an attorney with money I don't have or not be able to afford the house and a loan for the repairs, and most likely lose the house.
