UC Lending, Randall Mortgage Services, Equity Line Mortgage 1998-2006
From the year I graduated college in 1998 until 2006 when I opened my own
business I worked for several mortgage firms as a loan officer. With
regret, little information about these companies is available now as, to
my knowledge, the economy of the past several years has driven all of them
out of business.
