I contacted RateGenius early on Wednesday morning (2/12/25) to refinance the truck we just purchased and received a text saying a RateGenius representative would be contacting me soon. That was around 9:00 a.m. I finally received a call after 11:15 a.m. They wanted all of my information, plus mileage on the truck. The rep told me I needed to send a copy of my DL, insurance card, and registration. Then at 11:55 a.m. the rep told me she had a meeting and would call me in an hour. We'll, one hour, two hours, three hours passed. The rep finally sent me a text around 4:40 p.m. saying she would be calling me in a bit. We'll, 45 minutes later I still hadn't received a call. I finally sent her a text and told her we would be leaving for church and would not be back home until 8:30 p.m. She sent me a text telling me should be calling me on Thursday morning. No call Thursday morning, afternoon, or evening. On Friday morning she never called, so I sent her a text telling her thanks for her time, but I would be looking local to refi the truck. She asked if I wanted them to keeping working on the refi, and I told her no, but thanks for asking. There was no communication from the rep after her call on Wednesday morning, other than a couple texts and nothing about the refi. I felt like my time meant nothing to them. I'm not sure what interest rate I could have gotten, because of the lack of communication.
