**** refused to talk to me over the phone to verify information. My car was stolen by my sister and was told i couldn't do anything because it was a civil matter. I let cnac know of the issue. it eventually got reposed so i could try and recover the vehicle, however cnac failed to inform me where the car was being held and that it was even in their possession. When i called to inquire where my property was they told me that they sent notice to an address that was never on file. Didnt send proper notification even to the address the car was registered to which is where i lived. to this day they have not given me a bill of sale from when the car sold at auction and never was able to retrieve my property that was in the car. They refuse to be of any assistance, and this has been the experience since the very beginning. They are nothing but a bunch of scammers, had title issues for the first 2 months and then every person in the customer service department is rude.Business Response

In the case of ***************************, Complaint Number: ********, we have investigated this matter with the full cooperation of the company-owned ****. ************** is upset that notifications were sent to an incorrect address and that he was unable to retrieve his belongings.
************** purchased a 2013 **** Escape on August 16, 2019 from the company-owned Byrider location on **************** in **********, ****.
************** defaulted on his retail contract, and his vehicle was subsequently repossessed on July 14, 2023. All state required notices were sent to the address provided by the customer at the time of sale (*************************************, ** *****). On August 25, 2023 ************** contacted **** to inquire about his belongings and was asked to confirm all account details including his address, which he confirmed as the address on file (******* Dr). ************** was informed that we could provide him with the repossession agent's information to see if his belongings were still there but that the repossession agent is only required to hold them for 30 days after repossession. ************** refused the repossession agent's information and requested no further contact from **** regarding his account.
The vehicle was sold at auction, and the proceeds were applied to the account, leaving a deficiency balance owed of $5,295.22. The account was charged off on August 30, 2023.
If ************** would like to discuss his account any further, he can contact **** at ************* and ask to speak to a manager.

I purchased this vehicle from Byrider on 8/10/23 from the Desoto ** location. I put down $500 which the down payment was $2000 and I would pay $300 every two weeks until it was paid then I would start my regular payments of $228 in November. I have attached my receipts of all the transactions I have made towards this vehicle and business. I have attached the email communications and contracts. I asked the Finance Manager/Latitser ****** if I can have an extension and pay $354 that was due on 10/6/23 and pay it on 10/20/23 which I would pay the remaining that was left which was $300 since I will owe my final deferred payment that day anyways she did not want to and had my vehicle picked up on 10/9/2023 on Monday out of spitefulness and I called her on 10/9/23 and asked her if she had my car picked up and she told me while I was on speaker for everyone to hear in my household **Yup I sure did have your car picked up when I communicated with her on Friday 10/6/23**. When I went to the car lot **** told me asked her what happened she told him she called me 3 times I didnt answer and had my car picked up when I have been communicating with her on 10/6/23. As a customer and the previous reviews on their website she is know to do this to customers and take their money. I have already invested $1400 on this vehicle and I am a returning customer with this ********************** but at a different location which I have never dealt with this ****** ** location. I feel she robbed me of my money and took the vehicle so she can resell it and have customers pay more so she can get a commission out of it. I want the money I have already paid in this vehicle back. I want a refund back of $1400 that I already paid on this vehicle and not put on my credit because of the unprofessionalism she displayed towards a customer and fraudulent service they have provided.Business Response

******************** purchased a 2017 Chevrolet Cruze on August 10, 2023. ******************** executed a retail installment contract in the **************. Her down payment at the time of delivery was $500 and elected to pay out the remaining down payment of $1500, bi-weekly for $300 on the following dates: 8/25/23, 9/8/23, 9/22/23, 10/6/23 and 10/20/23. The 2017 Chevrolet Cruze was sold with ******* miles.
On Friday 10/6/23 failed to make the $300 payment that was due. ******************** called in to say that she was not going to be able to make the $300 payment and wanted to complete the down payment by paying the remaining $600 on 10/20. ******************** was not granted an extension due to age of the current loan and her failure to complete the required down payment. Further, ******************** had not provided the finance company with proof that the vehicle was properly insured as required by the retail installment contract. Due to these deficiencies the car was repossessed on Monday October 9 in accordance with the ***** State regulations.
******************** is asking for a refund however her car was repossessed for default as it relates to the retail installment contract she entered into on August 10, 2023. Further, ******************** received the full economic benefit of use of the vehicle. From the time of sale to the time the vehicle was repossessed the vehicle had an additional ***** miles on the odometer. To that point, had this vehicle been a rental, the cost associated with the time she had the vehicle and the miles driven would have easily exceeded the amount of money she paid at delivery and deferred payments ($1,400) notwithstanding the amount it would have cost to insure the same vehicle over that period of time. Therefore, we disagree with the customers request for a refund.
Although we are not obligated, we would propose that the customer can redeem her vehicle immediately should she provide us with acceptable proof of insurance and agree to pay the $600 owed on 10/20/23.

I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ********, and have determined the response would not resolve my complaint. For your reference, details of the offer I reviewed appear below.
I will not accept the vehicle back nor will I do business with them ever again. The payment was due on 10/6/23 which not late until after the fact and I communicated with the Finance Manager Latitser ****** for the extension which she was well aware. This does not justify their behavior of how they treat customers and when I asked for an extension to pay it on a different date. They could of assist a returning customer instead of making a so called repo the vehicle when all my payments have been made on time. The vehicle always had full coverage but from a different insurance carrier which I have now removed this vehicle from it. This company is trying any kind of way to justify what they did to cover their wrongdoing and as for the *** you did nothing to correct the issue when I spoke with you on 10/9/2023 besides let me find out where the vehicle is at. You guys waited for it to go pass due to pick up the vehicle so you guys can justify the pick-up and **** were made aware of my situation. So NO, I am not satisfied of the response, nor will I accept this outcome. I will seek with further action due to your finance company and I have seen the class action suits regarding issues like this in another state. Either way you took my money, and your finance manager did this out of spitefulness judgement and I will seek legal direction.

We stand by the facts of our original response. The terms of Ms. ********* retail contract were disclosed to her both verbally and in writing prior to purchase. She defaulted on the terms of her retail agreement and the consequence was repossession. While we sympathize with her predicament, she did default on her retail agreement.Customer Answer

I will NOT accept the response and they need to remove this vehicle from my name. They are the ones that decided to repo the vehicle when I reached out to them on my payment due date of 10/6/2023 instead of working with a customer to extend it they decided to pick it up on 10/9/23. So they clearly knew what they were doing to me and that if they put it past due they can repo it when there was communication between me and the that finance manager. Like I mentioned she knew what she was doing and like I said before there have been complaints about this finance manager doing this to customers. I will be taking further action against Byrider/**** Financial with legal matters.

I purchased this vehicle Aug 2022. Being gainfully employed my note was paid on time until the most recent payment. I became unemployed end of April 2023 and unemployment benefits kicked in a couple of months later. Until this most recent payment (Friday, 10/9/2023) all payments had been made. Throughout this period of unemployment I had kept **** informed of my situation. Due to not having been able to regain employment, I finally was not able to make the most recent installment. Immediately I was told the vehicle would be repossessed on Monday, October 9, 2011.There was no offer of any kind of extension. My health is bad, something that I also kept the local **** office in the loop regarding. Now I can't make medical appointments nor get to job interviews or even work once I regain it. This is a rural area and Winter's coming.I'm not trying to dodge my responsibility. I simply cannot pay until I can regain employment. I could understand if I had missed many payments. This was the FIRST ONE!!As far as I'm concerned, CNAC is heartless and inhuman enterprise preying on folks in my position and age. Absolutely atrocious and cruel. I will never do business with again.Business Response

CNAC /JD BYRIDER has been illegally separating my over payments from the principal in which i was told it would be going to. I thought by LAW that the lender had to put any extra funds after the due payment directly into the principal. How ****/ JD BYRIDER runs things is extremely predatory and it has been happening since the first year of the loan. OMG I paid ***** to ***** bucks more a payment and never did they put the money towards my principal but only making excuses like, "We put extra money in like a bucket for you to use later if your short" Or "The way it works is that it reverts to another payment in the future and you have a lower payment the next time" or my favorite "I think you have to make your payment and then make a separate payment right after" It is like come on can you people just be decent good people and put the extra money towards the principal like you're supposed to. I just don't get it in this sick cold twisted world you think that a highly publicized, marketed, and promoted company such as ****/ JD BYRIDER would do good quality business with their customer base with a bit of integrity would be something of your dreams. I guess i won't be getting to sleep anytime soon with these business practices which only fatten up the lining of their pockets depriving their customer base of a ************* given right to work your but off and pay off a over priced car early! Goodness people just add the extra money to the principal it is not hard. And the real complaint is of the agent there who had me on hold for 40 minutes and refused to give me a supervisor after not telling me what the balance of my loan was before and after an EXTRA and SEPARATE payment of ******! Then when she refused to help and kept me on hold ignoring me I called on another phone and after 4 more agents got a supervisor "****" Who reports to a DM "******" while being on hold on the other phone by their very rude reprehensible, untrained, & tainted with the essence of slime.

In the case of Mr. ********************** Complaint Number:20628415, we have investigated this matter with the full cooperation of the company-owned ****. ************** is aggrieved by the manner in which payments are applied to the account and the handling of the account.
************** purchased a 2013 Chevrolet Malibu on August 27, 2020 from the company-owned Byrider location on Broad Street in ********, **.
On September 11, 2023, ************** called in regarding the handling of the account and asked to speak to a manager. The representative explained that there was not a manager available at that time and placed the call on hold. After 30 minutes ************** called from a second line and was able to connect with a team leader who was then able to get him connected with **** who is one of the *********** Managers. **** took the time to explain how payments are applied to the account but ************** was not happy with the explanation.
Please see the attached payment ledger for *************** Please note that 27 of the 65 applied payments were made late. When late payments occur on a simple interest loan that means more money is being applied to the accrued interest before it will be applied to the principal amount. Please note the $100 payment that was applied on September 11, 2023. The customer was paying early and the entire amount was applied to the principal balance.
**** has documented policies and procedures surrounding sales, underwriting and collections. Mr. ****** purchase was secured by a retail installment contract. The terms of the retail contract, including the promise to pay which describes how payments are applied first to accrued interest, unpaid finance charges, and then to reduce the principal amount. These terms were disclosed both orally and in writing before and during closing.
At **** we strive to achieve the highest level of satisfaction with every customer. We apologize for the way the call was handled and it has been escalated to upper management to ensure that if a manager is not readily available that the customer is not inconvenienced by long wait time.Initial Complaint

************** purchased a 2009 ******* Tucson on January 13, 2022 from the franchise-owned Byrider location on ************************ in ***********, **.
On 8/31/2023, we received a market valuation report from the customers insurance company, Liberty Mutual. The valuation listed the base vehicle value at $6189.00, less a condition adjustment of -$496.00 and less prior damage of -$2,696.00, less -$500.00 deductible leaving a net payout of $2,496.79. Several calls have been made to reach the customer to obtain more information on the listed, prior damage to see if this claim was in fact paid out and did the customers have the vehicle fixed. Several messages have been left for the customer and we are still awaiting on an answer.
We utilize an outside company (National Adjusters) to help increase the valuation when the valuation summary from the insurance company seems low. This is only to benefit the customer to help offset the current balance owed on the account. We need the customer to sign off on the third party authorization page which is still pending. We have every intention of working with the customer and have other means to assist if needed.
