Frustrated

This company , Not only have rude customer service but Overcharges consumers in daily high interest rates and fees and do not apply payments accurately. Recently in 5/2020 , 34 states ( including where i reside) the state filed a class action suit for consumer fraud during the years 2011-2015 in unqualified loan approvals , overcharging consumer extreme high interest rates . I purchased my car in 2015 6 years ago and NOW they say I started paying on the principal. I've paid over $36,000 for a Toyota Camry from 2015 to 2021 and still paying they say I owe $17,000 how can this be I'm going to be paying $53,000 for a Toyota Camry 2015 ! This is definitely consumer rip off. My original amount for the loan was 27,000+ My credit reports states I have no balance on this loan and it's been paid in full. I'm definitely frustrated I believe I should have this contract end and loan forgiveness . I've paid more than enough for this car. I also believe I should be included in this case action law suit.

Comments and Analysis

When financing a vehicle consider all options carefully. Understand that by financing a vehicle the creditor has a lien on the vehicle's title until the consumer pays the contract in full. It is important to make payments on time. Late and missed payments can result in late fees, repossession and can have a negative affect on your credit.

Before seeking financing, determine how much you can afford. Consider the overall cost including maintenance, repairs, insurance, etc. Know your credit since the bank will be checking your credit worthiness to determine if you qualify for a loan. Only finance a vehicle when you can afford to take on the debt.

Read the entire agreement before signing and ask questions about anything you do not understand. Once you sign the contract, you are legally obligated. Be sure to leave with a copy of the agreement with all signatures and terms filled in.

If you face financial problems and can't make a payment, contact your creditor as soon as possible. They may work out a payment arrangement and some will even allow you to revise the payment schedule. If you experience problems with the finance company that you cannot resolve directly with the lender, file a complaint with BCA.
