      I have a SBA loan with First Home Bank. I have tried repeatedly to contact any service member via phone or emails for months. Online when I try to login now it says account is dormant but they just took out the monthly payment. They made my account untouchable so i can do nothing but let them take the monthly payments even when i want to pay the loan off early. This is a terrible financial institution and I will never recommend them to anyone. Looking into legal actions now as they are not letting me even look at my own account
