Incompetent company - AVOID!!! I refinanced my VA home mortgage to United Wholesale Mortgage, which outsources servicing to Cenlar FSB. That decision has been a nightmare I’m still living nearly 3 months later. From day one, Cenlar claimed my verified bank account was incorrect — the same account I verified through their own system on UWM. After multiple failed attempts to make a basic payment and useless customer service calls, they froze my account and demanded certified checks. My bank issued them. They were delivered and signed for two weeks ago. Cenlar has still done nothing with them. In the meantime, they have assessed over $500 in late fees for a delinquency that is entirely their own creation, and they have now reported my account to the credit bureaus as delinquent — for payments I have been actively trying to make since day one. Impacting my credit score SEVERELY. Customer service has been completely useless at every level. No one takes ownership, no one escalates, and nothing gets resolved. They also have been making attempts to take down my review (this is the second one). I have now filed formal complaints with the CFPB, the VA Loan Guaranty Service, and all three credit bureaus, and I have submitted a Qualified Written Request under RESPA. If you are a veteran considering UWM for a VA loan, understand that Cenlar is who will actually be handling your mortgage — and their track record speaks for itself. Zero stars. Avoid.
