Of A EXTRA $400PAYEMENT 340.00 GOES TO INTERESS AND 60 GOES TO PRINCIPLE NO MATTER WHAT! NO EARLY PAYOFF

Frauds

This company defraud people out of money, and they'll try to take your home too. Instead of filing a ucc fixture lien, they file a lien on your title that prevents you from selling your home. Im getting ready to lawyer up by June 30th if they don't resolve the issue. I've been calling them for a month and so has the buyers agent. We've had them on 3 way call with cross river twice.

BE AWARE OF FRAUDULENT BUSINESS PRACTICES!!

I am in the process of selling my home. I called Sunlight in March and was told I could transfer my loan to the New home owner. They would need to apply for the loan transfer and I was given the information to pass along to my real estate agent and attorney to put into the contract. The home sale was negotiated with the solar transfer included. The buyer's agent contacted Sunlight in May to start the transfer, only to be told since I owe less than $15,000, they could not process the request. I called the company at that point and was told I owed $13,600, they would not honor the transfer of loan agreement. My attorney and I read my agreement from 7 years ago and no where in the agreement does it mention $15,000 loan transfer minimum. I have called Sunlight multiple times to get this resolved since the home sale is contingent on this issue to be told we have sent your account to our "Complaint Department" and you CAN NOT speak to them. They will get back to you in 7 days, it's been 25 days and no response. DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH SUNLIGHT FINANCIAL. At no point did I ever agree to a $15,000 minimum transfer, if I had we would have added to the selling price of the home. They do not return telephone calls either.

Worse company to deal with

I finally sold my house for the second time. The first time Sunlight WOULD not allow the loan to be transferred, so the buyers backed out. Now , Thank you Lord that I finally was able to sell my house, I had to have the payoff included at closing. But guess what people that are reading my review, Sunlight financial provides a P.O box as a way to payoff the loan, it's been over a week since the payoff check was sent to them and THE LOAN IS STILL NOT PAID OFF.... OVER A WEEK!! Why don't you people at Sunlight get with the 21st century and allow for a goddamn wire transfer to have this damn loan paid off? I had to make an extra payment today because my loan with your terrible company is due today!! I'm trying to avoid further issues with this nightmare of a company. horrible, horrible company to deal with. You people make lives difficult. I was supposed to NOT have to worry about this GODDAMMED loan, but it is still haunting me after my house was sold over week ago.

scam

This company is a huge scam and I would like to know if anyone has hired a lawyer to sue because the company that installed the solar panels has disappeared and now we are stuck with a huge loan and no one to help us

Difficult to deal with!!

Let me start by saying that getting the loan for my solar panels through Sunlight was very easy and at a great interest rate. However, when I needed a subordination agreement to refinance a HELOC on my home from Sunlight the problems started and have never ended. There were two liens on my property from different lenders on the same loan. Out of ten calls to get the second lien and subordination agreement taken care of, I have only spoken to one competent person. If you are looking at installing Solar and Sunlight is who they offer, say no!
