      I was lied to by one of the loan officers, *********************. I was asked to fill out an application and promised he would only do a soft credit pull. I even asked 2 more times to make sure as i didnt want any hard inquiries on my credit report since it was very preliminary at the time. As soon as I submitted the app as requested I received notifications for hard inquiries from all 3 credit bureaus and declines to my credit scores. I mentioned this to him and he kept denying any hard inquiries. I even sent him screenshots with proof that they were being reported as hard inquiries on my credit report. All he could say at that point was I dont know what to tell you. He didnt even bother to apologize. This is a violation according to FCRA regulations as I didnt consent to a hard inquiry.

      My experience with Griffin Financial was outstanding!. I award them a 5-star rating and strongly endorse their services. Refinancing an investment property under complex circumstances, I cannot commend them enough. **********************, and ******** exhibited professionalism and kindness that surpassed my expectations. Confronted with hurdles, they investigated various strategies and offered thoroughly researched alternatives, ensuring I secured the most favorable terms for my loan. Their openness and readiness to tackle any issues assured me of my decision. Their genuine concern and commitment to delivering the finest experience were evident. I thank Griffin Financial for a stress-free, efficient, and beneficial loan closing experience.
