10 days after locking rate, lender comes back and removes an $1800 credit offered on origination charges and adds an extra $320 for the rate. Is this acceptable? Is it common practice? What can I do? It's of course only 10 days til closing...ugh!

Do you have locked GFE showing the rate and costs are available THROUGH your lock date in Important Dates #1 and 2?    If you do then the change could be a the result of a "change in circumstance" which can be a variety of things, most commonly a change from estimated appraisal value to actual appraisal value.

If you were sent a revised GFE with different pricing, you should also get an explanation for the change of circumstance.

If your initial GFE shows the Important Dates expired, then your change is a standard Float to Lock change of circumstance.

As always, ask the Loan Originator for an explanation.

Lender was required to send you a Good Faith Estimate with in 72 hrs of locking your rate. What did that show? If credit was verbal and did not show on GFE, there is a credibility issue with lender but may not be legal issue.
I would contact ask Loan Officer for explanation, and if not satisfactory discuss with his/her branch or area manager. Zero in on GFE and disclosure requirements as that has serious consequences for lender if done improperly.
