By reading the "Response" to your question or comment, you agree that the opinion expressed is not intended to, nor does it, create any attorney-client relationship, nor does it constitute legal advice to any person reviewing such information, nor will it be considered an attorney-client privileged communication.

If you had a valid Power of Attorney, and the instrument was properly executed in the presence of a notary, then it should be valid. You need to consult an attorney to review the paperwork including the papers you signed and the denial letter. It appears that you may have to hire the attorney to represent you in getting this matter resolved.
