“Dealing with this company was an absolute nightmare. I had a 1 year refinance deal that costed over $20,000 in fees and they charged me an extra month in interest even when I paid the loan in full on the date it matured. Daylight robbery. Would never recommend these folks to anyone I know.”
“I had a HORRIFIC scary intense life changing nightmare with this company.
This is NOT a JOKE please read carefully.
I had a mortgage for 2 years where I was paying 7500 a month in interest only payment.
I was able to find a new B lender and was asking for my discharge statement before my mature mortgage date!!!!!!
No one was answering me I tired email , calling over 20 times no answer.
This company purposely tired to sabotage my mortgage by making me default for my deadline. They were holding my mortgage ransom by not replying back to giving my pay out statement .
As soon as they found out I was leaving they tired to make me default.
Once I finally got my statement from their lawyers with insane penalty charging and extra fees and errors and made up fee over 100k to leave.
I had a great real estate lawyer backing me up and they backed down and let me leave after I threatened to take them to court over their predatory and unethical practices.
Do not go with this company they will try to steal your home.”
“He had me deposit roughly $57,000 in Bitcoin, promising to invest it and return it. The return will not go through without authorization on their end, which they will not give me unless I pay another $10,000. But thanks to MADACOVI.CO, I was able to retr!eve my money.”
“I recently had a concerning experience with my investment account. Three months after starting, I tried to make my first withdrawal, but my account was unexpectedly locked. Despite multiple attempts to contact customer service, I didn't receive a response.
Luckily, a colleague recommended I contact *rerevert.com*, a professional recovery service. Their team guided me through the process, and I was able to successfully recover my funds. I'm grateful for their assistance and wanted to share my experience to caution others.”
“If there was any option less than 1 star I would select that.
I had the UNFORTUNATE experience of taking out a mortgage with CMI. After going thru some financial hardship I spoke with at least 3 people via email about what was happening. At one point I was desperately trying to play catch up when out of the blue CMI spring their lawyers on me. In order for me to at least come out with something, I was forced to sell my home that I worked so hard to get. I sold my home that I loved to pay off the mortgage and when I thought I would get something back I ended up with NOTHING as I had to pay the lawyer fees that CMI imposed on me including other fees as well.
There is a special place in HELL for you all and if CMI was a person and you were on fire, I would NOT spit on you.”
“After three months of investing, I sensed something was off when my initial withdrawal attempt was blocked. My account balance, over $111,555, was suddenly inaccessible, and customer service gave me the runaround without addressing my concerns. Frustrated and unsure of what to do, I spoke with a colleague who recommended contacting rerevert.com. With their expertise, I was finally able to recover my funds and resolve the situation.”
“This platform is a prime example of poor service and unprofessionalism. They seem more interested in taking your hard-earned money than actually providing support. I regret not researching them more thoroughly beforehand. I ended up losing $25,000 in just a month. Thankfully, I filed a complaint with rerevert.com, and they helped me recover my funds last week.”
“Despite initially depositing $91,000 into my account and managing to raise it to $1.110.000 relatively quickly, withdrawing my funds turned out to be an arduous task. I was devastated when confronted with this unfortunate situation. Thankfully, a friend introduced me to agents at TheresachinRecovery who came to my rescue with their incredible strategy. They walked me through each step of the process, ensuring that I regained every penny that was rightfully

“This company operates on zero ethics and has absolutely zero integrity. There's no job security for the employees to work at CMI, CEO gets up every morning and decides to fire random people even though you're performance is good.
If you wanna live with the fear of getting fired out of no where and wanna have no job security please work for this company and they'll give you reason for it saying "business decision".”
“Neil was difficult to deal with and I would never get a mortgage from this company again. Thought it would be different using a mortgage broker instead of a bank. I would have been better off with the bank.”
“CMI and it's employees are a big FRAUD. DO NOT I repeat DO NOT EVER TALE MORTGAGE WITH CMI. I am going to file lawsuit against them. We have the worst experience of our lives with their employees, Sonia Kumar, Lisa Richer and Rafina Jahurali. They are rude and not professional. They gave me time, and then before the expires they sent the lawyer letter. Again, NEVER EVER TAKE MORTGAGE FROM CMI. I had to select one star to write my review otherwise CMI do not even deserve any star.”

“We decided to go with this company from our broker as they had stated this is a reputable company . We had everything signed and finalized and we're about to close and when talking to our lawyer they stated couldn't close because CMI needs to obtain title insurance. Is that not something you would know about in the first place? Let it go. Was promised funds would be available on Friday May 3 . Waited all day Friday for my lawyer to cal with updates. Finally she called at 4pm stating she had heard from CMI lawyer and stated that they don't have the funds. How can a mortgage company not have funds . Now I have the businesses they were going to pay off through this new mortgage hounding me as to why they weren't paid yet. It has been nothing but a headache from day 1 with this company and because we've already signed legal documents and thought this was going to be finalized yesterday it's just a waiting game . No one has a answer when you call or all I get is well look into it. Needless to say I am very upset”
Although we cannot be sure as your review is posted anonymously, CMI believes this issues has also been submitted to the Better Business Bureau. As such, we are re-sharing our response below. If you would like to provide your name and client file number privately we are happy to discuss your concerns.
CMI’s standard funding timeline is six business days from fulfilling all required documentation, meaning that funds are expected to be disbursed within five business days after a borrower and broker fulfill all required conditions as per their signed Mortgage Commitment. An additional day is added for processing and finalizing the transaction.
As a private lender, CMI sources mortgage funds through its network of investor partners. The funding timeline includes the time required to properly finance the deal through said network. This timeline is thoroughly communicated to the submitting broker on each mortgage deal, as well as the borrower's legal counsel. CMI’s originations team updates both the mortgage broker and legal counsel throughout the process. Since CMI doesn't transact directly with consumers, the borrower's mortgage broker and legal counsel keep the borrower up to date on all details, including timelines, throughout the application and funding process.
This particular mortgage’s conditions were fulfilled April 26th, indicating a funding date of May 6th based on our funding timeline. While the conditions may have been fulfilled, we still required our established timeline to process the funding. This timeline was communicated to the borrower’s broker and lawyer, with a closing date of May 6th confirmed via email. The mortgage was funded on May 6th, 2024.
Upon receiving notice of this complaint, we attempted to contact the borrower but were unsuccessful via phone. We encourage her to reach out to us if there are any outstanding concerns or questions we can address.
“CMI is the best platform in my opinion for buying crypto with fiat and selling crypto for fiat, CMI Professional scammers incessantly push for more investments, they will take your money and will make you believe that your investment creates profit, thanks to Authstag on Google for helping me recover my money back”
“OI applied for a mortgage, provided all documents and left a deposit of $500. During the process I had an accident and was in the hospital for several days and out of touch with the world. My broker assumed I was no longer interested since he couldn't reach me and cancelled the process. They cancelled my file so therefore I lost my $500 deposit which I can really use right now. I wonder if they arbitrarily just cancel deals and collet deposits ?”
Hello Michael,
Thank you for sharing your feedback and allowing us the opportunity to clarify.
Mortgage origination involves careful coordination by several parties, including lawyers and appraisers, and there are costs incurred in this process. For this reason, CMI collects a deposit on all mortgage files to ensure that these costs are recaptured in the event a deal is cancelled.
Because CMI lends exclusively through mortgage brokers, who act on behalf of borrowers, we took your mortgage broker’s instructions to cancel your mortgage. This cancellation resulted in your deposit being forfeited.
We understand this is disappointing; however, all mortgage terms, including fees and deposits, are clearly detailed in the Mortgage Commitment you signed with your broker and legal counsel.
We hope this helps to clarify. Please feel free to contact us if you have questions or would like to discuss further.
“Don't use these crooks EVER! A $54,000 cost over $70,000 by the time they charged their lending fee, discharge fees, lawyer fees, etc. etc. etc. STAY AWAY!”
Thank you for making us aware of your recent experience.
In keeping with our commitment to complete transparency, we take our disclosures very seriously. As part of our standard process, borrowers are advised upfront of all terms and conditions of their contract, including fees, at the time they sign the Mortgage Commitment with their mortgage broker and legal counsel. We proactively advise all borrowers to review their agreements with an independent legal professional before signing.
We’d like to better understand what happened with your file so we can address your concerns. We encourage you to please contact us at brokerescalations@thecmigroup.ca so we can investigate further.
Thank you again for your feedback.
“I would not recommend CMI to anyone.
The unprofessionalism was mind blowing.
I had a very time sensitive matter in closing out a mortgage with them.
When I called I explained that to the woman on the phone, she assured me I would receive a call back that afternoon if not the next day. I never received a call back.
They added charges on my closure without telling me, would not respond to any emails/ phone calls.
Definitely rip you off.”
