Rhonda Wright at the Lake Charles location was great. She, along with Chris Deakle, the area supervisor, helped me get a modification for my existing loan because I was furloughed due to COVID-19. As a result, my monthly payments are now more manageable. She was incredibly courteous, understanding, patient, and professional and was great at answering all of my questions. Also, she called me back the same day to make sure the loan modification went through ok. I can't thank her enough. She genuinely cares about customers. I will definitely use First Franklin again for future loans.

Great customer service, friendly and always helpful. Only thing that disappointed me was the fact that I had an error online with my checking account number and now I cannot even make a payment with a check. The way I work it is hard for me to get there before I get off. I would recomend this company.
