Chewsie, I know this doesn't make you feel any better. We've gotten letters from Indymac and Greenpoint so far. The one from Greenpoint cracked me up - we have about $600K mortgage on a property where the nearest sold comp is $1.6 mill (so about $1 mill equity). They said the reason they froze our HELOC was due to a change in my husband's credit score. Yep, they're right. It did change - it went up 50 points.
