Disappointment

I have a personal loan with First Franklin that is what they term a "Premier Loan." I have never missed nor been late with a payment -- NEVER! I received a call from them soliciting me to extend my loan with additional money. I followed up that call only to be told that because of "a couple of late payments on other debts" (their words) they could not give me money at the same interest rate. I later received a call from a representative during which I was told that I was a good customer with an excellent pay record. That call was obviously nothing more than standard procedure -- someone jumping through the appropriate hoops. How is it that this company does not want to continue doing business with a good customer who has an excellent pay record? Oh well, there are other companies out there and you can bet I'll be looking into them. I want to do business with a company that cares as much about me as they do my money.

Worst Bank Ever Lol

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
Lol where do i begin, they are doing a mortgage for a client of mine. I was told that we would close in july 2018 (this was in may). we are now in september and we do not know when we are closing. The bankers (Vinnie and Danny) do not respond at all. No one (me the agent, the sellers, the attorneys, the buyers) know why the bank is being unresponsive and not explaining why a closing date that was set 2 weeks in advance did not occur. Yesterday september 19th the bank was set to close and in the end the bank did not show up because of a specific reason. Why was this not told to anyone in advance ? why have everyone cancel last minute ? Anyway i will never recommend this bank to anyone and I will never use them myself.

Horriable

I inquired them to refinance my home and get approval for me! They took a lot of money to clear up my credit and credit score didn’t change! They gave me all these empty promises and could not deliver made me wait months for a deed for my house and now said there is a judgment from the state that has to be paid! Plus made me all these promises to get preapproval and I never did and then turn around and say it’s our fault! They never return messages and when they do the stories change what they said before totally changes totally took my money to rebuild my credit and it still the credit score did anything change so I wasted money and a waste of time now I’m probably looking at just selling my house not really making a lot of money from it and spending another year in my rental house before I had a buy really upset all this happened ! Worst company ever steer clear of this company

The government claimed that as a result of the scheme, Franklin First “deprived HUD of critical loan performance information needed to determine whether Franklin First should remain eligible for participation in the Direct Endorsement Program.” According to the government, Franklin First and its executives also “concealed” the source of the payments to the delinquent borrowers’ mortgages. “In addition, the defendants concealed from HUD the fact that Franklin First was making the loan payments by funneling the payments through a purported charitable organization, the Rainy Day Foundation,” the government said.

Per the terms of the settlement agreement, Franklin First, Assini, Bertman, and Dauro admitted to “making the improper payments and that the payments altered the company’s delinquency and default rates.” As a result of the settlement, Franklin First, Assini, Bertman, and Dauro agreed to pay $1.25 million to resolve the government’s claims.

“This resolution demonstrates our Office’s vigorous pursuit of those who would abuse federal mortgage programs, whether they be companies or individuals,” said United States Attorney Robert Capers. “The significant penalty and defendants’ admissions to wrongdoing help to restore the integrity of the FHA mortgage insurance program.”

Since February 2014 Franklin first financial is being getting over $ 1100.00 in tax breaks from the star school exemption program in Nassau county. However, Franklin keept raising my monthly mortgage payments due to"escrow shortage" while my insurance premium was getting lower and the county taxes stayed the same. Franklin first financial is committing frauds by refusing to give the home owners credit for the star exemption school tax while pocketing the money. All Nassau county and Suffolk county home owners should file a class action lawsuit against Franklin first financial

Hello. Though this review is old, we have just obtained the ability to respond to reviews, so I am responding now.

Franklin First Financial does not receive tax breaks from the Star exemption.

The homeowner gets the tax break if they qualify and only IF they apply for it.

We do not 'pocket' escrow funds. We hold them in an escrow account until the taxes are due and then we pay them. Accounts are reviewed once per year as per the law, if there is an excess of funds, they are returned to the borrower. If there is a shortfall the borrower's monthly escrow bill increases.

Adjustments are only made on an annual basis and are reported on your escrow statement.

If you still have questions, please feel free to contact us at 888-933-8639.

I used them for my first mortgage. After they told me what my mortgage would be, ie $2870 i told them i would have to look for a less expensive home being that im a single mom. I was manipulated into believing after 3mnths he would be able to drop it to $2100 or less. Once they got what they wanted, they left me to hang. My son and i had to move within 6mnths of purchasing my 1st home. Instead of this being the happiest time of my life it was the worst thanks to this company.

We are sorry that you had a problem paying your bill. Unfortunately, when a borrower falls behind on their mortgage payments, our only recourse is to file legal action. While we do make every effort to work with our borrowers to come to an amicable solution, sometimes going to court is our only option.

Very bad experience

Company led us on for over six months. I caution anyone using this company. They are not what they hold themselves out to be. They delay and are not honest and up front in dealing with clients. They delay make excuses and put clients thru all sorts of request for information, many times asking for the same information several times with no response as to why being asked. Delay after delay stringing the client along. I caution anyone in putting your trust in them and there ability to deliver on their representations . They delay you in dealing with other reputable companies while they make false statements to you.

Resolved: False Promises

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
To help assist my family and I with our first home purchase, we turned to Franklin First Financial. We dealt with Zachary Gaudioso, a loan originator, whom at first hand came off as professional and gave off a friendly air to him. He spoke with such confidence behind his words that my family and I were more than excited and eager to start working with him. How that would all horribly change. We found our dream house after a few months of searching. After making an offer and sorting through the essentials, we were recommended to Franklin First Financial around the end of May 2016. This is where the start of our relationship with Zachary Gaudioso began. Zachary told us to tell our landlord that for the month of June we would be living our month of security seeing as we would no longer be needing the apartment and would be closing on our house within the month's end. He assured us that out of all the closings meaning to happen and that were to come, ours was, "the only closing for sure happening in June". The last week of June came quicker than any of us expected and we had still not been giving a closing date nor were we told that one wouldn't be coming to us, least not up until two days before June 30th. Zachary advised us to then stay at the apartment as we couldn't forcedly be removed, however upon learning that the landlord had already rented the apartment to another family, my own family and I couldn't nor would we leave them frantically searching for a roof over their heads. We went ahead and booked a hotel, for which we were told we would only be needing for the approximately of one to one and a half week, with the promise of getting a reimbursement for such costs. We spent the Fourth of July weekend stressing on when we would hear back from the bank and where we would spend the remaining days if we had not heard back from Zachary yet. When we did hear back from Zachary it was obvious something more was going on then what we were being led to believe. He would go on to give us a different closing date every other week. Within each week came a different complication. One week it was him asking for pictures of our signatures so he could go ahead and forge them. Another was him reminding us that he was going out of his way for us, more so than any other bank would be willing to do. Asking for our individual bank account logins and leaving us feeling unease, our lack of knowledge in this process and his persistence made us extremely uncomfortable by this point. He would ask for documents that had already been sent to him more than once, but were somehow misplaced by his people. It became apparent that this wasn't the same Zachary Gaudioso we were presented to nor were his promises going to be met. The level of unprofessionalism displayed. Going on to refer to the seller's attorney as an, "evil ***. a ***" and constantly trying to sell us on the idea that he was doing my family and I a favor here, as if we weren't rightful clients or even human beings who deserved the respect and fair treatment as many others. Fed up with this and having already spent a month in many different hotels, we decided enough was enough and it was time to look for another bank to get the job done. The hassle Franklin First Financial and Zachary Gaudioso gave us was beyond ridiculous at this point. The real estate company sent one of their realtors to pick up all of our paperwork, an hour drive mind you, only to be told she wouldn't get anything as she wasn't one of the lenders. The realtor was then presented to someone who presented themselves as the VP and promised that by next day tomorrow they would have word on a closing date and if not we would have to go and personally collect our paperwork. Not surprisingly so the bank, Zachary and this supposed VP came up short. My mother, one of the realtors and I made the trip to Franklin First Financial the very second we were out of work. We were made to wait a few minutes in the lobby, when some guy I had never before seen came out and handed a pile of papers to the realtor accompanying us. He never asked for any form of identification nor who or where the lenders were. This seemed strange to me seeing as how they gave the realtor a tough time just the day before because she wasn't one of the lenders. Frustrated by the games the bank seemed to be playing with my family, I asked once more to speak with Zachary Gaudioso. I needed to see his face, to let him know how this had infused with our personal lives, to maybe finally get some answers and to just have this person show their face. I was told Zachary was busy in meetings and that they didn't know how much longer he would be, they expressed how the bank went out of its way to pay for the last two appraisals and finally reaching my breaking point I told this person that my family had to pay thousands because we were left without a home. Expressing how he wasn't made aware of this he introduced himself to us, Anthony Oliveri and then excused himself to go and see if Zachary could come. Finally feeling up to showing himself, Zachary, Anthony, the realtor, my mother and myself were escorted into a conference room. The first thing out of this man's mouth was, "How are you?” I had to *** back my laughter at this one, where to even begin and express all that my family had been through. I broke down in angry and frustrated tears, told them if they knew that my younger brother wouldn't have an elementary school to register to come fall, how I wouldn't be able to reregister to college this coming semester, how my mother was working back to back shifts to make up for the money were wasting on hotels. Money that had been saved to invest in our dream house, and how that very same house we now run the risk of losing. I asked why, why were we given dates after dates when none of it was ever going to happen. Why did he make everything sound so easy and laced his words with the most confidence I've heard in single person. Why weren't we told earlier on that they weren't the bank to get this done? Zachary constantly replied with his own mantra of, "hey, don't shoot the messenger. I'm only the messenger here. I was going by what I was told," he constantly replied remaining me that once again he had done us a favor here and that he gave us his most upright professionalism. EVERYTHING, pouring my heart out to these people and wanting to just have answers went through one ear and out the other. My mother, whose first language isn't English told Zachary herself that his claims of being professional were laughable at best. She pleaded with him to remember how and with which manner he chose to speak about others with us. When he got loud with my mother, accusing her of threatening him, I turned to Anthony Oliveri and asked since when was it professional to reference people who are working on the same deal as me with such disgusting and degrading names. I mentioned how I still had the text messages in which Zachary called the seller's attorney 'an evil ***' and so forth and once again asked Anthony if that was professional? Anthony himself gave us a clear no. Seeing how this wasn't going to go anywhere we left, Anthony Oliveri giving me the promised to email with the contact information to reach their VP so we could talk about the promised reimbursement for the hotel cost, now as well to see if we could get reimbursed for the first appraisal we paid for. Still waiting on that email, by the way. It is now a few weeks left until August reaches its end and my family and I have still been going through hotels because of Franklin First Financial. Our new bank has been able to get more than in a week than Franklin First Financial and Zachary Gaudioso were able to in three months... Franklin First Financials' complete lack of transparency with their clients is of which to leave a sour taste in one's mouth. With failing to do as their slogan says "Closing loans and building relationships", we did not close our loan. However, they did build a relationship, one that is based on lies and false promises of which they will never fulfill. If you value your time and money, save yourself the heartache and find a different bank. Unfortunately, for us we were not forewarned.

I understand your frustration with everything that happened. I am zachary's fiance, and I find your comments to be very exaggerated.

I was told and was aware of everything that was going on. I also was up to date with Kelly, the agent that was working with you. This whole situation is NOT just zach’s fault. Everyone fumbled the process.

Beginning with the attorneys. Zach tried his best to help your family. In many occasions that we were out to dinner or weekends out of work, he was picking up your phone calls, to pick up and have you talk to him very distastefully. He stressed everyday about how to make the process better and your family happy.

Being that he was just telling you what the bank (his supervisors, and staff) was telling him to tell you. (He was new to the bank) It's sad that there are people who are so unforgiving. Make some one look so bad, when in reality he is such a nice person. He has A LOT of very happy customer relationships, even though they didn’t like FRANKLIN FIRST FINIANCIAL.

They love him and are still working with him. And it's unfortunate the way this happened with your family. IN NO WAY OR FORM did he ever mean for this to happen on PURPOSE, as you made it seem on your comment. Hope you take some consideration before you try to ruin someone’s reputation.

I know he feels deeply sorry for what happened and not one day went by that he didn’t try to fix the problem. I hope you and your family are happy with your new home, and wish you guys nothing but the best.

Next time don’t bash someone’s name. blame the company.

Frankly, based on the terrible writing skills you and Zach have I hope you never have children. You both sound like utter ***.

Guest

I used to work at Franklin First and this is the exact kind of *** that goes on there. In fact, the manager of the branch, Lou Mazzella was later arrested for committing fraud.

This is common practice at this company.

Guest

I read your review online. I understand how you feel about this and I am sincerely sorry if you feel that I did not do everything I could to help you.

What I don’t understand is why you are taking this out one me, personally? I remember throughout the entire process I spent hours on the phone and in person with either you or a member of your family every single time you called, either explaining what was the next step in the process or relaying information given to me by my supervisors. Again information given to me by my supervisors…. I understand I was the one in your sights because I was the only one picking up your phone calls.

Yes I do admit this was one of my first FHA purchases and I was being supervised. Everyone starts somewhere and it’s very unfortunate how it turned out but I mean, Alexis this is my career and I am a human being, I try everything in my power to assist the people that I am working for. But for whatever reason the relationship doesn’t work out and for this reason was 100% out of my hands I try to at least treat that person with respect, listen I am sincerely sorry I wasn’t able to achieve that for you.

At the same time I want to see if there is a way you and I can come to an understanding in perhaps you would be willing to remove that review about me because if you can imagine it dramatically damages my career, my life and most importantly my family.

And the number one thing I take pride in is customer service and making sure that everybody that I work with is if not happy gets treated with respect.

Alexis what can I do to make this right with you and your family.

they sent a live check to my house that was intercepted by a minor who deposited the check and I am responsible for a loan? did not ask for a loan and sending live checks in the mail as a loan is a way of tricking poor unsuspecting people into a high interest rate loan,. I am working now with the state of Georgia to have this practice overturned. When I addressed them, the woman told me some really rude things to include how to raise children. I was in OR when this happened, and get this, they are still sending me checks. They are even trying to trick my into thinking I have made email agreements with their home office and are threatening this unemployed, medically disabled man with taking my cars and putting a lean on my house and forcing foreclosure. what ***. If i was working, it would make it better to pay them but since I did not take the loan, i do not feel it is my responsibility however loopholes in law permit this scam

Franklin First Financial - Home Loan Review

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
We used Franklin First for our first mortgage and we were very disappointed with their service. We were recommended by a realtor and we regret using them. Hustle tactics, refusing to rate lock when we received our mortgage commitment and waiting till interest rates raised then offering us the "opportunity" to buy down the rate for thousands of dollars. When we visited their offices, "wolf of wall street" atmosphere with *** bags walking around with headsets and giving each other high fives. John Aiossa is a slick talking hustler with his top button open with gold chains showing, looking like the "greed is good" 80s. Definitely don't recommend this company. If you're an experienced buyer, you can probably take your chances with these shady hustlers. If you're new to the home buying process, definitely shop around.

Its unfortunate to see a negative review like this especially when I look at the time, energy and effort that I had personally put into your loan for you to achieve the highest level of service and satisfaction.

I have hundreds of emails that have been sent on your loan file, many of them to you answering questions, providing you with updates throughout the process and offering helpful hints to you about things that showed up along the way that would benefit you in the long run by correcting. The loan you had applied for was a 203k Construction Loan which is a much more involved loan.

Most banks take 90-120 days to complete constructions loans and we closed your loan in less than 60 days. Your electronic disclosures were sent to you on 10-26-2016 and your loan commitment was issued on 11-16-2016. The presidential election was on 11-08-2016 and the markets had already positioned themselves the week before the election for a volatile market which had caused interest rates to go higher. I understand you are not happy the rates went higher but we do not control the market.

The locks on construction loan are 23 days, if you dont close within the 23 days you would then have to extend the rate which get very expensive. You are only able to extend up to a maximum of 30 days and then would go back to worse case market. I never refused to lock your interest rate and the rates had already gone up prior to you being ready to lock in. I had emailed your attorney on 11-16-2016 (date the loan was approved) asking if they can contact the sellers attorney to see when the seller is able to close and that you wanted to lock the rate but we needed to rate lock accordingly.

The seller was living out of state and no one new if the seller needed to fly up to close or when they could close. I didnt hear back from your attorney so I emailed again on 11-18-2016 and 11-23-2016 (you were copied on all emails). Your attorney never responded so you email your attorney on 12-1-2016 asking to please respond. Your attorney responded on 12-02-2016 that the seller was ready to close and you will be sending over the final loan conditions needed so we can work on a clear to close.

Once the loan underwriter received the contractors license and insurance, we were notified on 12-02-2016 that your contractor was not license in the county the property is located so we worked diligently with you to change all of the paperwork to reflect a new contractor of choice and get your file ready for closing. Even though rates had gone up due to the presidential election, you locked in at a 4.50% interest rate on a 30 year Fixed Rate Mortgage on a Construction Loan which is a great rate. We had both checked all the competitors at the time and no one was offering the same or a better interest rate, we were the lowest. All of the competitors had a higher rate, you had even called around yourself.

You had checked off on your review that the fees at closing were higher, your closing cost came in $1848.49 lower than what we initially disclosed.

You can reference this on page 3 of 5 on your closing disclosure provided to you at closing. All of the above had been explained, I hope you are enjoying your new home and wish you and your family the very best!

FRAUD SETTLEMENT

I worked for this company and the current fraud claim against them for $1.25 million gives you a perfect idea of their business practices. Using a fake charity to wash their ill-gotten money - only a $1.25 million penalty?? No jail time? The hard-working support team that I was on was fired on the spot to be replaced by a new team. No warning, no regard, no severance, no apology. The most abusive loan officers were the ones haled as stars in the company. Fast Cash, right guys? Management knew what was going on.

Franklin First Financial fined $1.25 million for FHA loan violations Allegedly concealed default rates by paying borrowers’ mortgages for them February 9, 2017 Ben Lane 1 Comment KEYWORDS DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE DOJ FALSE CLAIMS ACT FEDERAL HOUSING ADMINISTRATION FHA FHA LOAN FRANKLIN FIRST FINANCIAL money

Ryken Lgs

Dear former employee,

Your review is baseless and untrue and probably fueled by your anger in having been terminated, especially since you even stated that you liked working here. Since I do not know who you are, I cannot comment on the reason for your termination.

There is however a tremendous misrepresentation in your review.

There is not now nor has there ever been a fraud claim against Franklin First Financial. We did pay a $1.25 million settlement to the Department of Justice, who was investigating the company for violating FHA lending standards. Our settlement was made without an admission of guilt, in an effort to expeditiously handle the matter so we could get back to doing business without years spent in litigation.

The matter came about because we made mortgage payments on behalf of our borrowers who had fallen on hard times through a Charitable organization called the Rainy Day Foundation.

We were not 'washing ill gotten gains'. Unfortunately, this led to an inadvertent discrepancy in our delinquency and default rates.

That is why we were being investigated.

After the matter was settled, we are happy to report that we remain in good standing with the FHA.

We sincerely hope you are doing well and wish you the best of luck with all your future endeavors.

Franklin First Financial Work Experience Review from Newark, New Jersey

Franklin First Financial is horrible. They are racist so if your black don't do business with them AT ALL. There are no black managers in the company. They won't allow you to move up in the company unless your white and family. I was laid off a couple of Friday's ago because of a "budget cut" but they hired a new assistant which I'm sure is getting paid more money than me. Franklin was paying me 12 dollars a hour which was 844 dollars every two weeks to market process sales and basically be a slave. There intentions was to make me quit so they wouldn't have to pay me unemployment. They took advantage of me and then gave a sorry excuse to why I was being laid off. I never received a complaint from one realtor/business person or client. I have several great references! Cindy who is HR is horrible and doesn't do her job. She is a very nasty rude woman. She sits on her phone all day on Facebook stalking her ex and his new girlfriend. She messes up all the time. I had 401k and when I switched to another team about 6 pay periods my 401k wasn't taken out. Fred the owner is screwing the marketing director but he is married. Sales operations got demoted to processor and replaced by a younger woman who claimed she was raped by an employee on vacation. She comes to work with a sob story and gets promoted. I never got paid on any business I gave to the company. I have proof business was given. Joe Manzione who I originally was working for owes the company thousands of dollars because he keeps borrowing for his habits but i guess since he is a fellow white they won't fire him. I been working with him since 2013 and he hires a white girl gives her a 6 dollar raise and letting her learn. While he is getting business from me but not paying me anything. I work at another company now getting way more money and I have room to grow!!!! Thank you Franklin for teaching me a few things to add to my skills! Knowledge is something that you can never take back from a person! Once again if you are a black person don't do business/work with this company they don't like black people like majority of these people and they will *** over. You been warned !!!! Don't trust them!
