Called from Houma line: 985-217-1491, sounded like a local number so I answer, big mistake. They’re calling to inform me that I have a pre-approval amount in the amount of $52,000. She wanted to begin going over details and I explained my husband needed to be home as he would be handling the repairs from Hurricane Ida. I still haven’t called them..they need to leave those people alone
