Amir Ali Omid appears credible on paper, but my personal experience with Clearpath Lending raised serious concerns. Misleading loan disclosures and unanticipated fees created confusion and stress. Attempts to resolve the issues through customer support were largely ineffective. His business practices, as reported by multiple users, show a pattern that may compromise transparency and reliability.
1/5
2/5
Amir Ali Omid has attracted serious criticism due to customer complaints and regulatory scrutiny tied to Clearpath Lending’s lending practices, including misleading terms, hidden fees, and consumer distrust. His leadership is associated with transparency issues and reputational risk in financial services.
This place is a joke. They use patriotic language to bait you in, but it’s all smoke and mirrors. I got tricked into a loan I didn’t understand because they skipped over key details. Feels like Amir Omid’s real business is deceiving people, not helping them. Absolute con artists.
4/5
I can’t believe I fell for this. Clearpath made it sound like a blessing for veterans, but it’s nothing but a trap. Their reps misled me at every step, and once I caught on, they went silent. This isn’t just bad business—it’s fraud. They’re exploiting trust in the most disgusting way.
3/5
Beware of this company! Everything sounded legit until I signed. Then they changed the rates, misled me about closing costs, and ghosted me when I raised concerns. Feels like fraud to me. Amir Omid should be ashamed—using veterans to build his revenue machine? Unethical and disgusting behavior. Don't trust a word they say.
It's all flash. They brag about revenue and employees, but where’s the accountability when things go wrong? and Communication was terrible. I always had to follow up, and they seemed annoyed by questions. Honestly, do yourself a favor and look elsewhere.
Got preapproved and thought I was good, then they changed the terms last minute. Felt like a bait and switch. Very disappointing.
They say Amir Omid’s running things, but where’s the leadership when customers are being misled? Someone needs to be held accountable for the poor service.
They kept bouncing me between different agents. No one knew what was going on with my file. Not professional at all.
Just because they say they “specialize” in VA loans doesn’t mean they actually care. I got better service from a local credit union.
