My son is a first time home buyer and the realtor suggested this lender. Being new to the area my son followed the realtors suggestion as we had used the same realtor and trusted her. My son is very good about budgets, savings, and paying his bills on time. He setup autopay through his bank for his mortgage payment. Three months ago he got a notice from CenterState saying his payment was late. He checked his bank statement and say where the auto payment went out the first of the month. He called his loan officer and he said he would get it fixed. This happed for the next two months. He went to apply for a new car loan only to find out his credit score dropped 70 points because they said he had 3 missed payments. He contacted the realtor and she said she no longer recommends them because of these types of issues. She had been using them for 5 yrs and now they are black listed from this major realtor company. I wish there was a course of action that can be taken against this bank. read more
