MCAP Fixed Mortgage Consumer Reviews

Would never recommend these specialists to anyone.
Our mortgage has been assumed by MCAP
We were told over and over it was portable. The specialist, Jonah, who we dealt with was so slow to get back to us. One week to closing and still no manager has returned our calls/requests for assistance.
RUNAWAY

We are transferred into MCAP by IA financial six months before our mortgage expired without any our permission and choice. They will charge extra mortgage interests plus daily interests even we pay out on the exact expired day. Also the closing charged is super expensive $380. The renew rate is very high so there is no way stay with them. Then you will be charged a lot if you switch out.

I would highly advise against going with this lender.
They reach their hands out to quickly grab your money, but when it's time to help and give back, they are loan sharks. They are predators.

I am breaking my mortgage early to get a FANTASTIC rate with a top bank. MCap is charging an $8870.00 payout when 3 months interest penalty would have cost me $1400.00. They are hiding behind the fine print in their contract to charge the greater of two pay-out options.
I escalated it to higher management and the script is not only dishonest but is utterly unempathetic. MCAP are not into customer service and long term relationship building. They are not into seeing us thrive and improve financially.

I should have read the reveiws before signing. We found out about the sale only clause AFTER we had all the paperwork and the house assessed, even though they did give our broker the penalty amount for leaving early... now I am stuck with MCAP for 9 more months and I risk losing the lower interest rate, plus I am out the amount for the reassessment.

I will be leaving in 9 months for good, and for greener pastures.

Basically, they have a sale only clause for paying out your mortgage early. So if you want to pay out your mortgage or renegotiate a better rate you are out of luck! However, they will renew and refinance you with big fees into the same restrictive mortgage. And to make matters worse they will not offer their clients the publicly advertised brokerage rates i.e. the advertised rates with MCAP at the time of this writing were 1.49% with True North Mortgage but MCAP will only offer their current clients 1.89% for an early renewal + fees in the thousands (Yes, I said thousands!) making it virtually cost-prohibitive.

Please, learn from our costly mistake - even if the rate is a bit better than others, I strongly recommend not doing business with this lender. Immediately upon signing and getting our documents in the mail, I knew this was a big mistake. Guy came to our home to sign documents in which he advised we could make changes to increase bi-weekly payments as long as we initialled. This was not the case - any changes we made to payment frequency and amount were unable to be made. We wanted to have higher payments to pay off sooner but they would not let us change this even though the broker told us this change could be made. Then tried to borrow $50,000 more of the $750,000 equity we had in our property. Not able to do this without charging us a $5500 change fee. Okay... Now trying to get out early and it is again a disaster. We get a different answer from specialists each time we call. I will happily pay the penalty to get away from this lender. We are losing money to get out of this mess but I don’t care. Moving on to a real financial institution that doesn’t need to play games, be dishonest and not honour the words of their employees. Goodbye!

They charge $90 to change payment frequency. Online or if you call in. The call center is in the Philippines. Can't understand anything yet you need to pay extra for service. I'm only with these guys because the property was taken over in an Estate, or else I would NEVER EVER deal with them. Stay away!

MCAP only started our process 2 days before the closing date. And they asked for odd and uncommon requests from both sellers and buyers They extended our closing knowing sellers already moved out and we are supposed to leave our present place. They have no respect to your needs. I think all the stress they are causing because of their incompetence is not worth the low rates they give.

I have a mortgage and Line of Credit with MACP. They were easy to contact until 2019 then they were impossible to get through to, and always a long delay from emailing them to someone calling back (usually an unknown number with a 604 area code). Anyway. I have set up weekly payments to chip away at paying down my LOC from my bank account, which is also the bank account they sent money to from the LOC when needed. I have had 4 payments "reversed" with no notification from MCAP totalling $8700 I contacted them and today talked to someone who sounded like I hade woke them up and asked they wondered where I was sending the money from. Remember, most payments go to them OK and from my only bank account they have for me. When a 5500, and 2000 payment was reversed recently did I notice this issue. Surely if they thought there was an odd activity someone would call? They said they did, but never before I have contacted them. This $8700 has never been sent back to my bank so while they may have reversed it, it was never sent back to me, so the money is where? They have now escalated it and will be in touch within 48 hours. Stay away

Pay attention to the early payout provisions: only available to payout end of term, sale of the property, flip into another Mcap mortgage or death. Renewal: if you don't renew or payout, you automatically renew into a 6th-month term at 5.95% interest, you have the option to resign with them without penalty. If you wish to payout at the end of 6 months you are subject to penalty and a reinvestment fee. I received my renewal letter, which wasn't a great rate but, the renewal agent convinced my rates would drop and they didn't at least with MCAP. I called my renewal manager 2 days ago still haven't heard back from him. I have pretty much run out of time to renew with another lender. Their game, stretch it out as long as they can and lying. Their rates are not competitive but, make you believe they are working to get a better rate. Make certain you know your mortgage if you decide to go with them. There are better rates and lenders out there.
