Open Question: Equity line of credit a good idea to pay off my mortgage?

[Administrator]

I called my mortgage company today and asked about a refinance. I am not behind, or in forecloser. He did not offer me a good rate, but he did talk about a equity line of credit to pay off the mortgage. I currently have a ARM loan, (I know not good), but thats why i called and tried to get a fixed rate. He said if I take a equity line of credit, to pay off the balance of the house I would have to pay no fees, or closing cost. Which means that my mortgage would have a 0 ballance. My credit is OK, I owe less then 1/2 of what I borrowed. My ARM interest rate is 7.125%, and he said he could get me the Equity line of credit at 4.5% Is there any catch to this, is this a good idea, or bad idea. Please help
