They had my vehicle repossed for non payment 1/24/23 at about 12p. I called at that same time and made a payment of way over $800 and brought my account current. The representative, whom then had to submit that information so that *** car could be released back to me and he still hasn't done so and keeps telling me that he did and it takes seven days. I then called and asked for a supervisor 12 different times and literally NO ONE has gotten me a supervisor. Several representatives have informed me he could have submitted the information yesterday and sent it over and my car could have been released yesterday but they didn't see that and kept sending me back to him. I've called the repossession company and they still haven't been updated yet. I've called CNAC several times, emailed asking that someone in management would reach out to the company so they are aware that I am current now over 24hrs so they can release my vehicle and no one will do this. They won't even escalate my call when I told him I'd hold, he literally told me he can't hold up his line and none were avaliable. This can be reviewed because the calls are recorded. This has been horrific customer service! I've had other experiences with trying to get assistance with this CNAC company for other situations and have ran into unbelievable difficulties as well and it's unfortunate and I can only imagine what they are doing to others if they are doing this to me , after I actually made such a huge payment. And I couldn't get any resolved when I contacted their **************** when I called them.If they have their money I should have my vehicle. Thanks to technology, things are able to be sent and updated instantaneously so they need to send over the current information to the possession company so they don't proceed with thier process on a vehicle which isn't past due any longer. I need a Manger to get right on this situation, update the possession company and follow up with me so I can get my carBusiness Response

I financed my vehicle the end of July 2022. I made my payments early always. November 11 2022 I come out of work to find my vehicle repossessed and gone. I contacted them and they told me they never received payments yet I have all the receipts and my bank statements. I contacted and contacted and they told me my vehicle would be brought back and now they began calling me a month later telling me I need to pay $1600 to reclaim my vehicle. Thats ridiculous so I sent them the proof they needed and they said it was valid but when my fianc called they said another story saying thats not proof enough. We have contacted lawyers to help us through this but this still doesnt help because we need our vehicle now. We cant get to work or wherever we need to go. We just want our vehicle back.Business Response

In the case of ***************************, complaint number ********, we have investigated the matter with the full cooperation of the company-owned Byrider. ****************** complained to your office on December 19th that his vehicle was repossessed for non-payment but that he had proof of those payments.
Mr. ************* purchased a 2013 Buick Encore on July 27, 2022 from our dealership on ***********., ************, **. Byrider has written policies and procedures that govern our sales and underwriting processes. The terms of the retail contract, including the payment amount, Annual Percentage Rate and total sales price were disclosed prior to and during closing, both in writing and orally. ****************** signed a Retail Installment Contract which secures his purchase.
Mr. Locketts retail contract requires biweekly payments of $****** due on August 12, August 26, September 9, September 23, etc. There have been a total of 4 valid payments submitted on this account - 8/9/22 ******, 8/23/22 $******, 9/20/22 $248 and 10/4/22 $120.
A payment of $****** submitted on 9/13/22 was returned from the bank as non-sufficient funds, and a payment of $298 on 9/15/22 was also returned as non-sufficient funds. Since the last payment was made on 10/4/22 CNAC continued to try to reach out to ****************** on a daily basis to resolve the delinquency. On 10/20/22 the Authorized third party, ********************************* contacted CNAC and set up an arrangement on Mr. ******** behalf to pay $418.79 on 10/21/22. CNAC began collection efforts again when that commitment was broken. All attempts to reach ****************** were unsuccessful.
CNAC made the difficult decision to repossess the vehicle on November 16. Mr. ****** provided valid documentation of payment through 10/4/22. A screenshot of a $248 payment Mr. ****** provided did not come from CNAC or was a valid representation of a bank draft to CNAC.
At CNAC we strive for the highest level of satisfaction for every customer. While we sympathize with Mr. ***************** predicament, he did default on his retail contract. Mr. ************ has been given every opportunity to provide valid documentation of payments he claims to have made.

**************** ***** purchased a 2012 ****** Versa on June 12, 2021 from the franchise-owned Byrider location on *********** in *********, *********.
CNAC has documented policies and procedures surrounding the servicing of accounts and was surprised to learn of **************** ****** complaint.

The representative did not follow protocol which requires verification of the card number. The unauthorized payment was refunded. CNAC took this opportunity to retrain their staff and the associate who made the error received corrective action.
**************** ***** also expressed dissatisfaction by the frequency at which she is contacted regarding her account.

October 21, 2022 Purchased vehicle with CNAC loan through Byrider October *****, 2022 Tire was flat every morning. We put air in 3 times a day. Took tire to ******* auto center for repair, we were told there was nothing wrong with the tire. Took the car to Byrider, after twenty minutes we were told they found a small nail and patched it. Had to miss work each of these days. On the 27th had Byrider tow car to their shop where a new tire was installed. November 1, 2022 car stalled at a stop sign and again while driving. Asked for a refund or a different car, was told by Tre they do not do refunds or change vehicles. They are willing to fix issues that have to do with drivability of the car and nothing more. November 11, 2022 car overheated, Byrider replaced thermostat again, water pump and other things I dont remember. November 19, 2022 car overheated November 21, 2022 Byrider replaces thermostat again and cylinders I believe. We were told by Byrider mechanic when the car overheats again its probably the engine and one would be ordered so they could be ready for it. December 3, 2022 Engine overheated again, smoked up, had to call Byrider to have car towed to them. December 5, 2022 Contacted Byrider to ask about status, told the engine would be installed and car would be fixed Thursday the latest. Asked if we could receive discount on our payment since we were going to be without a car for a week and had JUST paid Friday for two weeks. Was told no, payment is due next Friday even though an entire week of work was missed. Byrider told us if the car was in their shop for 5 days we MIGHT qualify for a rental. In their logic the car engine blowing on a Saturday didnt count because the car was not in their shop. So here we are stuck paying $326 every two weeks for a car that might work a full week if were lucky. CNAC/Byrider valued our car at $10k plus another $4k in ************ but we received taxes from dmv valuing car in $4k. SCAMMERS.Business Response

I purchased a vehicle on 10/8/22, contacted the dealership on 10/11/22 for a check engine light issue and the car not starting when putting gas in, the codes were for a gas valve issue and oxygen sensor. I scheduled a service appointment but was unable to make it due to personal reasons. On 11/8/22 I became stranded when the vehicle wouldn't start and had to be towed, the vehicle has been in service since 11/8/22 with a transmission control module that is a recall from **** and there is no time line on repair due to part in back order. The dealership will not put me in another vehicle and CNAC will not put payments on hold until the vehicle is operational. I am required to make payments every 2 weeks and have not had access to this vehicle and have no idea when I will have a vehicle and now I'm getting harassing phone calls from CNAC when a payment was due on 11/18/22.Business Response

My car was recently repossessed after a two month non-payment even though I made a payment earlier in the month of October. I was not informed that I was car was going to be repossessed. I got no phone calls no mail no emails. When I told CNAC they told me there was nothing they can do since they did send out emails even though I didnt receive them even though they did send out mail thats I also didnt get I also didnt receive any phone calls either. When I tell them this, they just wave it off and tell me I have to pay $**** plus any payments that become due while its at the auction. My biggest issue I am having with this whole situation is I was never informed everyone wants to tell me well you know when your payment is due you know this you know that correct I do. At the same time my car was undrivable. I am a single mother. I had to get tires. I had to get brakes rotors all of that before the car was even drivable and safe for my kids to be in that messed up my payments for September and part of October. I did pay in October at the beginning October 14 so I dont know how my account was still how many days past due when I have paid on it. All I want in this situation is for someone to look at this and say hey, she was paying she did do a payment in October , there was no reason for them to come get my car for being ****************************** well I have to pay the ****+ payments that arise while my car is sitting at this auction. I was all for paying the **** because I have that right now but then they were like I also owe the current car payment and everything has to be zero for me to get my vehicle back. I do not have that , I do not need a repossession on my credit so I would like the vehicle back. It just seems that CNAC is not working with me how they should be. Like I told them if I would have been informed that my car is at risk of repossession, I would have made sure that this didnt happen.Business Response

I purchased cpi insurance through cnac and it's not being honored . I was involved in a collision July 23 2022 and I was informed my vehicle was covered under cpi. Cnac is refusing to pay off the vehicle under their cpi policy and instead are asking me to drive my damaged vehicle 4 hours away to their in house shop. The air bags are deployed. There are several electrical issues due to the collision. The alignment is off due to the collision causing the steering wheel to shake and car to not drive straight. This should be illegal . I pay for collateral protection. The vehicle is inoperable and the kbb value is only **** . There's is no way the damages are less than 75% and I have 3 resources stating this is a total loss . This is fraud. You are not totaling vehicles out yet profiting off insurance claims and still requiring me to make the monthly payment. I will be suing for the request of me to drive a vehicle 4hours that has not been professionally inspected for safety. On what earth is advising someone to drive several hours without airbags in a totaled vehicle okay ? I've been dealing with this for 3 months . I have to work and it's very inconvenient that I'm paying for a service that is fraudulent. I need this vehicle picked up and taken care of as per my collateral protection insurance.Business Response
