      Complaint Type:
      Service or Repair Issues
      Status:
      Unresolved
      I have repeatedly called Raymond James Bank requesting an explanation, in detail, of how the interest rate on my mortgage loan is now being calculated since the transition from LIBOR to CME Term SOFR. Also, there is conflicting information regarding my index rate. In their correspondence to me dated December 20, 2023 (which I did not receive until January 6, 2023), it has *******% as my index rate, but my account online shows ******% as my index rate. Also, I am continuously hung up on, accidentally disconnected, transferred to a survey recording, et al., by every single person I speak to @ Raymond James Bank. Specifically when I call their ******** phone number, not one single person there has any knowledge whatsoever & never understands anything I am asking them about. This has been an ongoing issue/problem for me for 12 years with Raymond James Bank. On Tuesday, January 9, 2023 I also called their main office in ******* & explained the situation to a man there, a so-called supervisor, & was told he would forward my concerns & questions to the most knowledgeable person who would be able to answer all of my questions. He said that I would hear back from someone that same day (January 9, 2023)Well, it is now three days later & still nobody from Raymond James Bank has reached out to me. As a ******************** I have the right to know, in detail, from the lender exactly how the interest rate on my loan is now being calculated. I did MY research trying to figure this out on my own, but it seems that all of Raymond James Banks employees (from customer service to supervisors to ones who claim to be knowledgeable about or specialize in ARM loans) could care less about their customers & cannot even make any effort to figure it out because, apparently, they know nothing about ARM loans, especially now that it has transitioned from LIBOR to CME Term SOFR. It is unfathomable that they could be so clueless & I have had enough of this company !!!

      Not worth even one star. Worst experience I have ever had with an investment firm. After two weeks they still had failed to move the funds from our accounts to our bank accounts. We got emails everyday promising the money the next day, then the next, then the next, only to be told that they forgot to sell some of it and we had to wait longer. As I write this we still haven't received a dime. The advisor was nothing short of a car salesman that was insincere and once we said we didn't want to invest with them (we are beneficiaries - my father passed away), he got up and left and put us with office staff. I suppose we will get something before we pass away. The incompetence with the office and Raymond James itself is what deserves 5 stars.
