  I bought a car about 6 months ago and paid for registration and sales taxes through the loan. To this day, I still have not received my plates and registration. Ive been paying insurance and car note for 6 months on a car I cant legally drive. The way everything has been handled has been so unprofessional, always making excuses, leaving me with vague responses, and a lot of times not even responding to my requests. Now theyre saying they want me to self register? After 6 months!!This is pretty ridiculous, its my second purchase with Woodside and its been a nightmare. If I have to never buy another super car just to not deal with Woodside again, then Ill do that.

  We’re genuinely sorry to hear about your frustration and
  appreciate you bringing this to our attention. We understand how difficult it’s
  been to wait for registration and plates, especially after six months.
  
  Our team has been working diligently to resolve this with
  Harris County, which has experienced significant processing delays. While we
  initially recommended walking in the paperwork to expedite the process—a faster
  route that unfortunately wasn’t pursued at the time—we respect your decision to
  proceed differently.
  
  Since then, the state rejected the paperwork due
  to missing documentation from the dealer. We've already taken steps
  to correct this: the form has been requested from the dealer, and our team is
  contacting the county directly regarding the VIN inspection. Once we receive
  the required documents, we will promptly re-submit them per your preference.
  
  We know this situation has been frustrating, and we’re doing
  everything we can to get this resolved quickly. We also appreciate our recent
  phone call, where you expressed understanding of the process ahead and
  acknowledged the effort being made.
  
  Thank you again for your continued patience—and for being a
  repeat client. We’re committed to turning this experience around.

  Although I appreciate the response and the business finally trying to resolve the issue asap, I will not be fully satisfied until at least I’ve received my plates and registration.

  Applied for auto financing They denied the loan, so i called to ask as to why. They lied and said i had derogatory marks in my credit. I went a paid to pull my credit and score was 801 with 0 marks. So i called back with my husband to offer them the report And see if we can do anything about the loan approval. But *****, was very rude answered no questions and spoke and acted in a weird way because i was Armenian. She pretty much indirectly said we were denied due to my nationality.

  I bought a car via Woodside Credit 4 months back but still no permanent tag. Their responses are vague and unhelpful. They keep sending me temporary tags after I contact them because the temp tags keep expiring and still no permanent tag, There's a recurring issue where I'm asked for the *** verification, which I've already submitted. Each time, this mistake is acknowledged, but no permanent solution is provided. they never follow up and don't deliver on promises. This situation is causing significant inconvenience and stress and my temporary tag is expired again leaving me unable to drive my car. All I am asking is a clear timeline for receiving my permanent tag so I can finally drive my car legally. Caution to anyone considering Woodside Credit.

  On August 28,2023 I use Woodside Credit to get a loan to purchase a classic car (**** Mustang). Woodside credit state on the website that they handle all the transactions to include the vehicle registration. The company did not ensure that the title was signed by the true owner of the vehicle. Now I have a vehicle which I cannot register or legally own. As of 12/06/2023 I have not received the title and the company do not communicate all that they do is give you different people every time you call. It's as though doing Comsumer fraud.

  Purchased a car from Woodside credit in April 2023. As of today 8/16/2023, I still have not received my tags and can no longer drive my car due to expired tags. Ive been in contact with *****, *********, and ******. *** left numerous voicemails and emails. Its difficult to get a response back.
