I don't understand why it would make a difference if it was FHA. FHA standards are more strict than conventional loan standards and all they would be doing is paying your loan off and creating a new loan. It would be no different than if you refinanced a car loan at a different bank (aside from additional paperwork).
Their explanation doesn't make sense to me. I am guessing it is something else and they just said that as a reason. I guess it is possible if they were trying to qualify you under the HARP program, but if they are holding the loan, they can make what ever changes they want.
