Decided to change from corrupt bank of America profiting from Epstein and poor customer service. Super friendly, knowledgeable staff. Greeted me and explained options with expertise. Monica my banker was super friendly, knowledgeable and took the time to get to know me and my goals above and beyond what I've see elsewhere. She is wonderful and comp tenant. Super happy to get back to a NON PROFIT whose interests are aligned with mine and support charitable causes instead of corrupt ones. A++ read more

Their website says you need 575 credit score. I was denied at 695 and they said I needed 720. So basically a bait and switch or dishonest or deceitful or just liars, take your pick. read more

Very difficult lender to deal with. They don't give pre approvals nor want to say what rates they start at. You must submit a full application with stips and full hard credit inquiry to see if their bank is even competitive. I understand that you cannot get a loan approval if you don't meet the criteria or give underwriting the stipulations they ask for. I lost three days repeating myself to the underwriter that I simply want to know what range of rates they have. Example 600 Fico 10.00%-15% rate, 700fico 8%-9%. I have 800fico and had to jump through hoops and back and forth for nothing. I finally applied with the dealership today after losing three days and got .5% better rate with almost no stipulations except ID and one months paystubs. This lender wanted full tax returns, MSRP sheet and several other items before I could be told anything about interest rates. I do not recommend this lender. Save yourself the headache. The other lender told me the criteria before applying and It comes down to you get whatever rate your creditworthiness affords you. Simple. read more

I have impeccable credit and was denied for a boat loan with 10% down. They are a joke.....do not even apply!!! I make $265k a year, have just over $20k in revolving debt, $120k in secured debt. And no other debt and was denied a loan. Don't apply, dont inquire, don't patronize........run far and clear from this bait and switch "loan" provider! read more

the bank on Robertson ave in Downtown Nashville. Is a joke they harrass people and try their best to ruin your credit or repo your vehicle even if you pay your note on time. they'll also try to freeze your checkin account without permission. if I was you I wouldn't do business with this bank. they do inlegal practices and get away with them. my 7 years with this bank has been torture and regret it read more

Corbin and Grace were nothing short of STELLAR. So very impressed with their professionalism, promptness, and transparency. They guided us through our funding process with a wholly impressive level of detail and knowledge. We are eternally grateful to them for making such an exhaustive process feel seamless. Thank you ladies! Do not hesitate to use Southeast Financial. Great rates, great team, great process. read more

If you are looking for a quick process, this is likely not your best option. They advertise "same day" and "within three hours" decisions, but it has now been almost 72 hours since I applied, and I have heard absolutely nothing from SEF. They provide no updates, no communication, no check-ins, nothing. I will need to find someone else as the camper I want to purchase will not be available forever... read more

Absolute junk of a company took very long for a response, then all to Deny me. Said I have a collection on my credit, which I've never had. This is a bs company. Want ever apply for them again. I ended up going to my local credit union for funding. Approval all day long. Everyone u call such a long wait to No one answers the phone and takes a very long time to reply via email. read more

I was denied a RV loan because I had a 3 month deferral of an auto loan while I had cancer and couldn't work. The auto loan is now paid off.

They approved me for a loan on a RV. Then they tell me about there "documentation fee of $399.00" plus there "$199 title and registration fee" yeah, no thanks, $600 in fees for a 800 plus credit score. I will look some place else. Why I did not look at reviews ahead of time is beyond me. Had I looked, I could have saved myself time. read more

I would not recommend this company. We sold a boat and the seller used this company. It was almost impossible to receive our funds. We still have not received our funds after sending all the necessary documents. After week, they claimed that the documents need to be redone. They also do not wire money to the seller. They use the mail, and we had to argue to get them to overnight. read more

Advertise one thing but do not follow through with what they say online. They turn the loans down versus advertising that they are ok with certain types of credit and scores. Not trustworthy. read more

I don't think this company really wants to loan money. Denied credit and my score is 795. Just sent some bs excuses that my credit is bad. Whatever. read more

Do not even try to get a loan - try somewhere else before this company pulls your credit. They advertise 24 hour approval, but it's been a week and counting and I haven't heard a word. I got through to an agent one time and the other 9 times I've called I get the answering service (which no one returns your call). Stay away! read more

I thought This company was reliable. I had to go the extra mile with them. Sent on the document they wanted . Well they did approve us finally approved us at a RATE of 14.75. What the heck. I think we deserved better than that. So there ad is not what they say. They're not the company that's there to help people. Just charge high interest and make money off of people. Debbie Schmitz read more

Have to hold for 25 minutes. Last Monday the lady told me my title was being mailed out that day. She LIED, today after 2 calls in I was told it was mailed out Friday. Go back a check your recordings Toyota. She LIED to a customer. Never again will I deal with this outfit. read more

I had top notch service from Brittany and Ashley. Answered all my questions and always called me back Asap!. They were very friendly and easy to talk to. Plus they had all the right answers!. Reading some of the reviews on SWF What Company and financing goes perfectly Smooth??. Come ON!! I definitely recommend anyone to use SWF read more

Harder than refinancing a house! You would think we were borrowing a kidney for the amount of hoops they make you jump through. Not sure if this company's fault or the lender but not worth the hassle. Really wish I would have looked for these reviews before we started this process but we are almost done (after 3 weeks)! Seller of the boat would have dumped us a long time ago if he had any other buyers. Buying a used boat and getting a loan must be a "risky investment" to the lender world bc they were brutal. Seriously never had this much paperwork before! The lady we worked with at southeast was super nice and helpful and I'm sure it is embarrassing to have to keep asking for additional documentation, notaries, etc. but they should warn you up front! read more

AWFUL! Like everyone else I wish I would have found these reviews before I tried to get a loan from them. My loan should have been a slam dunk but they would pull crap like "send us your driver's license" then the next day it was..."now send us a copy of the backside of your drivers license." WTF ....why? If you need that why did you not tell me the day before? The Seller of our dream RV finally threw up his hands in disgust and took a cash buyer instead. I couldn't blame him. Save yourself a lot of aggravation this group is AWFUL! read more

I was approved quickly but decided to go with a different RV. I attempted to get info ahead of time from my loan officer on whether they would approve conversion van camper but the loan officer was not very responsive. She told me to look at vehicles and identify the one I want and then we can move forward. So I put a ton of time and research into camper vans and identified the one I wanted. But then went to get approval and she then said they can't approve camper van conversions. What a waste of time. I contacted a different company who was very responsive and I would go with them in the future. read more

Worst finance company I have ever worked with. They advertised a 180 month boat loan at 4.9%. I wasted my time filling out the application and despite excellent credit they offered me a 140 month loan at over 11%. The epitome of bait and switch. read more

We got a quote for an RV loan and was excited about the rate so we applied right away. After the application I looked on their site and noticed they needed more documentation later that day, so I uploaded the information that night. The next day I got an email at 8:00 am central time for the requested information that I had uploaded the night before. Three days later I got an email that they approved my loan for 1.35% higher than the rate that was quoted to me even though my credit score was over 800 and we met all other requirements. When I finally got ahold of the loan officer we where assigned to she told me that that rate wasn't valid and hadn't been for two weeks... She then talked to a manger and responded to me two days later that if I put 30% down they could get me that rate but otherwise they couldn't. They lie and are terrible at communicating... Worst loan experience I have ever had. read more

Not recommended at all.... stupoid high apr...took way too long and you want financials for 2 years....keep smoking whatever you're smoking

Do not apply here. They've ran my credit 760 a week ago and have yet to call, email, or answer a phone. You login and nothing is updated. I've called multiple times waiting because it says "operators are busy please hold". Then they make you leave a message for no reason because nobody has ever called me back. Please don't waist your time or your credit history with these, I'm guessing 1 person who runs this joke of a lender. Thanks for nothing read more

Absurd lending criteria. I've never had a single missed payment, lots of verifiable income, but because I have rental properties I'm considered high risk. And they don't add back in depreciation on investment properties which almost all lenders do because it's not a real expense. read more

They advertise fast turn around. Well two weeks and counting which is ridiculous. I am terrified seller will back out and we will lose deposit. Feel like I dinging my credit with inquiry just to have to find loan elsewhere if they do not hurry up. And I have a 780-830 credit score. Make six figures. 0 balance on credit cards and trying to borrow 15,000. Ridiculous totally ridiculous. read more

OMG! Took 7 Days waiting on a approval! Called, emailed all we got was SOON! Then on the 7th Day just before closing they sent a High Interest approval that was 3 points higher than advertised! I called or emailed almost every day! Same answer every time...SOON! Not sure how you stay in business if everyone had to wait 7 days for a response. I would have been happy with a NO! I thought we were very patient! Our Credit Union approved us within HOURS! So glad we did not go with Southeast Financial read more

This is absolutely the WORST company I have ever dealt with with ZERO customer service. DO NOT waste your time calling and leaving a message. I left 5 voice messages with ZERO RESPONSE. I sent an email with my concerns & they lied claiming they were having phone troubles. Still to this day not one phone call from them. This is the first time I have ever posted a review. DO NOT use this Company. We failed to check reviews prior to submitting an application and certainly regretted it. Apparently management does not care about their customers, company or employees. Absolutely unacceptable. read more

Dont even waste your time. No responses to email and why have a phone if you dont ever answer?

Same terrible experience as other reviewers. I had a dedicated representative and she kept adding and removing fees to make sure the loan would remain higher than I wanted. The process was not transparent in any way - I have no doubt they are either dishonest or simply inept. The representative I worked with was also very unprofessional once I told her I was going to look elsewhere because I was unhappy with the process. She even called me BACK just to add her two cents!! I would NEVER recommend. I ended up going with the dealer recommended financing (small private RV dealer - not CW). read more

I was trying to sell my boat thru someone that was financing thru Southeast Financial. Everything about them smelled like a scam and I backed out of the deal. People beware!!! read more

We applied and received a fast approval but they wanted a huge down payment. We were approved through another bank but because of the advertisements, I wanted to see if we could get a better rate. We did get a slightly better rate but with the huge down payment to go with it. Our credit score is well into the 750 range. When I called to see why there was such a large down payment, I was told that my credit score was not high enough! The odd part was, even with the large down payment, our payment was just a few dollars less then the approval we received from another bank. When I questioned that it seemed odd, I was told that if I didn't want the loan they could cancel the approval. Hmm.....I cancelled the approval. Borrower beware. Go get pre approved through your bank or credit union. If your credit is good, this company wants only the 800's. read more

Please do not go thru this company. We purchased our RV May, 3 2019 and had difficulty getting someone to answer their phones or return our calls with questions or concerns regarding the cashier's check that ended up being a week late. We were guaranteed that the entire process would take no longer than 2 weeks and it ended up taking 3 1/2 weeks. We finally were able to get our camper before the private owner got cold feet and purchased a warranty along with it. Well..... we ended up having issues with the AC unit and one of the slides leaking. Went to make a claim 2 months later and guess what???? Souheast Financial still hasn't put in the papers for the warranty to go thru. My husband is livid. I've tried to call them over 15 times now, leaving messages, both polite and some not so polite. NO ONE CALLS YOU BACK. Once this company gets your money they are on to the next one. Be AWARE!!! Angry and frustrated, Jason and Kathy Grisham from New Mexico. (If anyone from Southeast wants to call us) read more

This financial group is nothing like what they say they are. No actions!! Not fast, horrible communication and does not want to work on helping get loans. Took almost a week to get a response. Calling took hours before i could finally reach someone. They hurt your credit by asking for a loan and if your not approved does not matter how much $ you put down they are not interested. Would never reccomend this place. read more

Wish that we had checked the reviews of this company profile. Absolutely zero personal contact. Applied, for RV loan, 780 F.I.C.O. Application was rejected 5 days later, no personal contact. Took 5% financing from dealer, instead of so-called 4.49%. All we did was waste time, and added a hard hit inquire to credit history! read more

I would never recommend this company to anyone, everything about this company sucked. It says in add " you will have an answer with in 24-48 hrs"... bullshit it took almost 1 1/2 weeks to get an answer. Try calling, good luck on that!! Seems like no one has a clue, they set you up with a loan officer an they never answer your calls or emails.. absolutely the worst experience I have ever had!!! This place sucks...... if anyone has a chance to read this, please I'm telling you never do business with this company. Not only do they put a notch on your credit once, they run your credit at least 2 to 3 times an it shows up on your credit report every time. This by far is the worst experience I have ever had an I am just hoping no one ever has to go through the misery I did!!!! read more

12-1-2019 - Southeast financial was very disappointing. Use Bank of the West or Essex Credit for RV Loans...do not use this company! Here's Why....! Terrible follow up - look at their reviews on Yelp..1.5 stars They only have a few employees, no customer service Denied me due to one character on the loan of the seller didn't match on the title. It was a Z and not a 2...no work around They wasted; two weeks of my time and may loose the opportunity to purchase my dream motorhome....do not use this company or you will be extremely disappointing....! read more

I applied for a boat loan on sunday june 10th. They requested the NADA value on monday in which I reaponded within 10 minute. The portal said my credit was pulled and under review. No agent ever reached out to me to discuss anything. Two days past and emails went un answered. Finally I told them since they are not responding that I will go with another lender. I got a response in 2 min saying that apps once processed take 24-48 hours to get a response from a bank. I heard nothing else until thursday when I emailed them asking for a response. Within 3 min the portal had updated saying that 3 applications were sent to the banks and were awaiting a response. I heard nothing all day and emailed around 4pm asking for an update as the seller was asking me and I had no answers. I was told that the delay would be looked into. Got no response yestersay. Now today on friday I went all morning giving them the chance so respond with nothing. I emailed them yet again and said that at this point I am going to go with another lender and was told someone will reach out to me asap. Within 2 min I got a emailed approval. The terms were very bad ( high interest rate. alot of money down and shorter term )and I emailed back saying i would like to discuss other terms. I have yet to recieve any other communications from SE financial. I decided that this was not the company for me and went to my local credit union and was approved within 30 min at a full 1.5% APR less with 0 down and the term I wanted.I am now refinancing both my vehicles and possibly my mortgage with Space Coast Credit union because there rates were so good and the customer service was outstanding. I should have done that in the first place. If you do try SE financial do not expect a fast process. Do not expect good communication and do not expect the best rate or terms. My credit score is outstanding, the loan to value ratio on the boat was on point, Plenty of income there is no reason that a loan should take a week to get a reply back for a conditional approval. read more

Should have read these reviews first. They claim an interactive experience. They said I had to high of revolving credit, only because I have a Heloc on a home with no mortgage. They said I had numerous acounts with too high balances, when I went through this with them on phone they only came up with one. Didn't seem to understand basic loan process and definitely didn't want to really exert any energy to help me. Stay clear of this company! read more

This was the worst experience I have ever had getting a loan. I finally went to my credit union. It was done in twenty minutes!!! Don't allow them the chance to run your credit. They are just going to waste your time. read more
