Lien release

I did not get to talk to anyone, so my issue was not resolved. I still need to get the Lien Release so that I can re-title the RV.

SERVICE SUCKS

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
Bank of the West and Essex Credit (part of BotW) are horrible in servicing their customers. They can't keep paperwork straight, they can't keep promise, no followthru unless they want money. 15 years they've had authorization to speak to my spouse and they're given all secure information for account access and they still won't answers questions. they say they need a verbal authorization. They're stupid. How do you know from a voice over the phone. Ignorance!

Corrupt Organization

Essex Credit - Corrupt Organization
Loan Officer Lied to me to close boat loan. Applied for loan in name of LLC. Docs had my personal name. Loan Officer told me loan would be in my name but that boat would be documented with Coast Guard in LLC. They sent docs to Coast Guard in my name and refuse to document in LLC even though I have it in writing. Now I need to hire a lawyer

Checking on application for refinance

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
Was on hold for 30 min and no one ever answered. Never received an email about my pending application. Very disappointed. We have to use this business due to our rv loan and they make it impossible to refinance. They are using people to make more Money and its sad. You would think they would be fined or shutdown by now with all of the bad reviews.

Poor Customer Service and communication

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
This is by far the worst borrowing experience in my lifetime. Let's begin with that I have excellent credit and solid employment. I would rate lender to client communication at best a D+. My experience could be compared to dealing with a robot that would only answer my questions by email and be snide and somewhat condescending if I needed explanation of any document. If you are looking for a RV loan Lender, look elsewhere

Owned by Bank of the West

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
Bank of the west typically charges a higher interest rate. Essex bank is another spin off of the same company offering lower refi rates for the same loan. Essex knowingly complys with BOW if a loan is being paid at a higher rate and the borrower is asking for a lower interest rate never missed a payment and been on time for 5 years. They will automatically deny the borrower for any concocted reason they can.

Refinance camper

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
We started our application on line and within a few days we got email to tell us to submit more info which we did. We got approved. All correspondence must be done by email as no one responds to calls. Response to emails is very slow too. We persisted and it took about 5 weeks to finally get the loan closed. Very poor communication. This was a refinance and I received the correspondence from the previous bank that the loan had been paid off that is how I found out that we were refinanced. Again we say very poor communication and you must keep emailing. I don't think we actually ever talked to a person during the process.

Cannot get Essex to respond.

We have been dealing with this company for over four weeks! They now will not respond to emails or phone numbers. We are just baffled. They are advertised in FMCA . We now fear going to another company with using up one of our applications. Where is all our info that they have and we had to correct with them. Alice Tysinger in North Carolina

I was approved by Essex Credit, but trying to get the final paperwork completed was getting to be very cumbersome. Called, emailed, etc., but could never get in touch with loan officers. I had seen great reviews for Bank of the South (which is where I called to get the loan) so I had high hopes for a smooth transaction. After not being able to get in touch with loan officers, my wife did some research and saw the reviews for Essex which were NOT GOOD. I bailed on it and am glad I did. THANKS TO ALL WHO HAVE POSTED THEIR EXPERIENCES. Saved my sanity and probably a lot more. Would rate zero's if it allowed.

Don't waste your time.

I'm beginning to think they aren't actually a finance company but an experiment to see how much someone can take. Not worth the hard inquiry on your credit report. After a week and a half, I never even got the full application finished because a problem on their website . They never answered the phone even if you call the number to apply. Go ahead, try it. When you call the direct number to the agent assigned to your application it goes straight to voicemail and they never return calls or respond to emails.
