Avoid.. Avoid... Avoid... Beware of Civic Financial Services especially the NY location. Liars and Crooks, they told me what I wanted to hear at the start by answering my questions, then as closing date was set they changed all the rules. Tried charging me over $12,000 in closing costs, only to put in their pockets. As I began to ask more questions before the official closing they lied to me again. Was informed on the closing date that the only way I had access to the funds I was borrowing was to request draws. I had to personally pay for all the renovations and contractors to do the work out of my pocket, then request the money back via draws. If I had the money already I wouldn't need a lender to borrow from, so why borrow the money and pay interest if I must pay for all the renovations upfront with my own money. They are very shady and crooked. Proceed with caution, better yet just avoid altogether!! They don't want to talk with you on the phone, they make it quick and never call back.

CIVIC FINANCIAL SERVICES FRAUD I have been in the financial industry over 30 years, brokered and closed for my own account in excess of 1000 loans in 5 states, ranging in amounts from $20,000 to $10,000,000, helped countless homeowners navigate their way through the crushing mortgage crisis years. I've worked with every imaginable U.S. bank and mortgage lender, from the largest to ones since demised, insurance funds and international banks. But, never have I ever encountered one so blatantly incompetent, dishonest, unscrupulous or fraudulent as Civic Financial, and their erstwhile servicing subsidiary BSI Financial Services. So egregious are their accounting and loan servicing actions that it became necessary to not only file suit on one particular Oregon loan, but I am preparing regulatory agency complaints for filing in Texas, California and Oregon.

Worst experience I've ever had as an… Worst experience I've ever had as an investor. Beware, they created endless headaches for me after constantly pushing back my refinance, month after month. What was supposed to be a 30-day close, is still going and we're past 100 days now. It's been a nightmare of an experience. We Finally seem to be at the end but I wouldn’t want anyone to go through that experience.

Avoid this Financial Services.. Avoid this Financial Services... Complete Scammers Spoke to Steven Weinstock and understand my financial situation as a foreigner with no US credit score and social security number and says can lend funds to me based on my situation and requirements. However upon paying $750 for an appraiser and taking all my personal financial details, got an email stating that they can't help me because I don't have US credit score! I did not get back my full refund due to admin costs involved, what an absolute scam! Forget about customer service after they take your money and personal financial information....
