On 2/17/2023 I traded in my vehicle for an other and was due a refund of my GAP Insurance in the amount of $862.91. Toyota financial told me they mailed a check to the dealership in this amount on March 6th, 2023 to return to me. I have called multiple times and no one will reply. I last spoke with ****** at ******************* on 4/11/2023 and she was to call me back and has not done so.

I am not aware of this account. I have reached out to 3 Credit Bureaus and TOYOTA MOTOR CREDIT to have this account removed from my file and they are always saying the same excuse, which is no longer acceptable. I have filed this as an outcome of Identity Theft. Regardless of all actions done on my end, there was no action from the 3 Credit Bureaus. Thus, I am reaching out to seek assistance to have TOYOTA MOTOR CREDIT confirm that I have no account with them and that the 3 Credit Bureaus can simply remove it from my credit report.Business Response

I have been a customer of ******************************************* for almost a decade. This would have been my third lease for a 2020 Toyota Corolla. When my least matured I opted to buy the car, and as was the protocol of my lease, the dealership settled the final payment and close the account. For whatever reason there was a delay in the bank loan as well as a delay in the closing from the dealer's side. I kept constant correspondence with Toyota financial letting them know to which they assured me that there would not be any derogatory reporting on their behalf. 2 months after the purchase I noticed that my credit had taken a serious hit and realized that they reported a 30 day late payment. When I sense multiple letters explaining the situation they basically told me to pound sand. Had over 8 years of immaculate payment records and for them to do this is just beyond unfair. I would urge you to avoid them like the plague.Business Response

I recently pulled my Experian, TransUnion, and Equifax credit report that the final payment of my 2020 Toyota Corolla of account *********** was reported late. This was very concerning, as it was told to me and the joint account owner (that in the event the lease-to-ownership option is redeemed, than the dealership company (Toyota DARCARS of *********, **) would assume responsibility in closing the account. This was something that was echoed by Toyota Financial Services during a courtesy call regarding the overdue payment (THE FINAL PAYMENT OF THE ****** I informed the representative, that we were opting to buy the car which would hand responsibility of closing the account (which was ONLY the final payment) to Toyota DARCARS , to which she informed me that as long as I kept TFS apprised of the purchase, and how far along the process was, that it would NOT be reported late. On October 13, 2022, I reached out again to TFS, and the customer service representative agreed that it was the dealerships extended delay to post closure of the account was what lead to the late payment report after August. They proceeded to mark me 30 days late anyway, even though i bought the car, and the dealership assumed responsibility and closed the account.

I traded in my 2022 Highlander in December of 2022. I canceled my *** coverage within the week that it was traded in. I have not received the gap refund from toyota financial services (credit company). I have called in numerous times since January to find out when the refund check will be sent to me. I was told that the *** department sent it to Toyota. Then I was told that Toyota sent me a check, however after calling back numerous times because I never received the check I have then gotten the run around. The next person I spoke to said the check was never sent to me and that he was requesting that the refund be sent as it was sitting in an account of **********************'s. I called back again as another 2 weeks went by and they said it is taking a bit but will be sent out by April 1st and overnighted. We are at April 10th and no refund check. I called back again today and the newest dispute resolution person I spoke to now said they have no idea when it will be sent as from there end they are not sure what happened to the check they received even though it was cashed. I should not have to call back this many times just to get a check that is mine. Clearly their company truly does not care about their customers. I want the refund check sent.Business Response

I have been given several dates that this whole process will take "no longer than". The date of loss for this accident was 01/01/23. It was confirmed a total loss approximately **** days later, still in January. Initial insurance pmt should have posted by 02/24/23. spoke with a Siri on 02/14/23 asking why insurance payment was posted: address changed and they need more time. She said its **** business days from when payment received. I adv several times I was told from when issued, and she said she doesn't know why, its from when RECEIVED. Was then advised it will be no later than 02/21/23. Check from insurance was finally applied 02/20/23. Now I needed GAP to process. Was told GAP was filed 03/02/23 and can take a couple weeks. Called Toyota GAP on 03/31/23 and spoke with ********* and was told that payment for GAP to be issued no later 03/16/23 and the payment to be applied no later than 03/30/23. But last alas no payment had even been issued. GAP was still reviewing the claim. I was transferred to GAP and spoke with ****. He then advised me that payment was issued 03/27/23 under check #******. I called Toyota Financial services again and spoke with ********. I told her the issue date and check # that **** from Toyota GAP gave me. She was ADAMANT that if check was issued 03/27/23 the **** business day timeframe would mean the check would be received and posted no later than 04/10/23. I expressed how not confident I am in any of their words as I have been given several miscommunications (a lot of which I cannot include due to character limits here). I specifically confirmed with her that it goes off when Toyota GAP issues the payment and not when its received by Toyota Financials Services and she confirmed that is correct. It goes off when payment is ISSUED. Today is 04/10/23. I cannot speak to a manager. I do not trust this will be handled as I've been lied to this whole process. I have funds that I am waiting to have refunded as we paid after total loss decision.Customer Answer
Date: 04/12/2023
I have attached my notes from an additional call today. I still have not received a manager callback despite me requesting multiple times. This is just another lie the company is telling me. I dont find this behavior from a company. I want the funds that I am owed back and would like it if Toyota Financial Services would stop holding my funds hostage as I was NEVER late with my payments to them and if I was I would have been penalized. I fully expect a call from a manager by Friday 04/14/23 letting me know the funds have been issued to myself as this is beyond ridiculous how lazy this company is with giving money owed to customers but so greedy when they want their money.

As I had to call Toyota Financial Services several times after submitting the complaint, they finally were able to get the payment posted, close my account, and issue the check. The check was issued 04/11/23 as the companys response stated. And yet when I spoke with them on that date they couldnt even tell me that information. When I spoke with them on 04/12/23 they couldnt tell me that information. And I did not find out until I had to call yet again on 04/14/23. I never once received any manager contact as I requested multiple times.

I am writing to express my deep disappointment with the customer service I have received from ********************** of *******, ********* ****. As a long-standing customer of over five years, leasing four vehicles for myself and my family, I have always held Toyota in high regard. However, my recent experience in attempting to secure a refund for an extended warranty on my Toyota Camry 2019 has been nothing short of frustrating.When I decided to purchase my leased vehicle at the end of the term, the financial manager at the dealership recommended that I purchase an extended warranty for five years, which I agreed to on the condition that I would be refunded if I sold the vehicle. Unfortunately, I sold the car within eight months of the purchase and have since been trying to secure the refund that was promised to me.Despite visiting the dealership multiple times and exchanging over 29 emails with one of the financial managers, I have yet to receive the refund that I am owed. I have been given several promises, but each time, they have turned out to be empty.As a loyal customer of **********************, I believe that I deserve to be treated with respect and honesty. I am disappointed that this has not been the case, and I would appreciate a prompt resolution to this issue. I trust that Toyota will take the necessary steps to rectify this situation and ensure that their customers receive the service and support they deserve.Business Response

I have reviewed the business response and I tentatively accept this resolution. They did respond to my complaint, all thanks to you. I really appreciate your strong and quick actions that helped move this matter along.
It is not as resolved as they make it sound. On April ******************************************************************************************************************* March, I obtained their duplicate title. When I sent it to them with tracking, they lost it.
So there is no guarantee that I have my title to my car yet. It still has many steps to go ,so if its possible Id like to not close this case until I get the title.
I will reach out to you when I have the title and resolution to my car. Again thank you so much.

today (4/5/23), I received a letter dated 2/7/2023 concerning privacy notification. 1, the letter got to me about 60 days after it was authored. I don't know if there's any legal implication to that, e.g., if they need to provide timely notification, but 2 months lag, seems long, so I bring it up. My main complaint is that: 1, the letter is sent because as they note that they are required to send it annually. 2, it provides information sharing opt-out instructions for persons like me who no longer have an account. These instructions are not actionable. E.g., I want to opt out, so I called the provided number, but the number only allows people to opt out of the policy who can provide a full account number. My account has been closed for several years, so I do not have an account number, therefore I could not opt out. Also, when I called the number and spoke to a ***, I was told there was no one in all of Toyota Financial who would ever be able to help me, because the only way to help me would be with a current account number. Therefore, ********************************************* is not following through on their legal responsibility and/or internal policy requirements (as detailed in the attachment to this complaint) to allow me to opt out of having my data shared, because while it says in their paperwork that they still will share it IF MY ACCOUNT IS CLOSED, they do not let me cancel it without a full 10-digit account number, and they don't have anyone in all of Toyota Financial who can determine what that number is by using my phone number, address, etc. that they contacted me with. I believe the *** was either uninformed or taught with a script to provide the answer that they need the account number. But remember - this request is to not share my information. So my account # and information is linked. It seems impossible that if they can limit sharing of my account information (name/address/phone/etc) from my account number, then they can find my account number from my personal info...)Business Response

This is in response to the complaint filed against Toyota Motor Credit Corporation (****) ************************* regarding her experience while attempting to update her privacy selections.

Our records reflect on July 26, 2022, ************************* entered into a Retail Installment Sale Contract for a 2022 Toyota Tacoma as a co borrower, the annual privacy notification they received is in regard to this account, not the closed account as they claimed.
It is important for them to know, that protecting our customers privacy is of utmost importance; therefore, we do require our customers first and last name as well as a complete Social Security Number (SSN), account number or Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) in order to populate and service their account.

Our *********************** team attempted to reach *************************, to confirm her opt out request via phone call as of the date of this response; however, we were unsuccessful.
If ************************* should have any further questions or concerns regarding their new or closed TFS account, they may contact our ************************** directly at **************, Monday through Friday, to limit their sharing they may call ************.

I am rejecting this response because: (1) I have no missed calls on my phone. I do not know if they tried and for some reason the call did not come through, but at this time I do not see that they did attempt to call me. (2) I called both the numbers provided to opt out and could not get the call management system to connect me to any capability to opt out and/or get past the "provide your account number". Ironically, the *** did state it recognized my phone number.
For this to be successfully remedied: (1) Toyota needs to call me at ************ or email me with a number that doesn't make me use my account number (I don't have one) to get through. (2) It needs to stop sending me back to the same numbers. (3) it needs to send the correct numbers to all person, such as me, who no longer have an account number. It seems remarkably dishonest to tell people there's a way to opt out, if there's no actionable way to do that. It also is disrespectful to make me/previous customers spend so much time on this issue.

TFS has been lying to me for months. Due to uncontrollable circumstances, I was laid off from work. This resulted in being a couple months behind. However, I began making full payments again once I got a new job. Because I was still technically behind, I had been calling TFS on a monthly basis to get confirmation that my car was not going to be repossessed. Each and every time I called, the agents assured me that it was not under repo. And then one day someone decided it was under repo, despite months of reassuring me otherwise. I had been proactive in calling TFS for several months, talking to multiple agents and always receiving the same answer: your car isn't under repo. Now, TFS will not acknolwedge they lied to me, nor will they bear any responsibility for deceiving me repeatedly. Now my car is repo'd and I am forced to pay all these ridiculous fees that I cannot pay. They kept telling me it was my fault for not following the contract. But I was deceived into thinking I WAS following my contract...with the assistance of many TFS agents! Nothing was ever mailed to me regarding a repo. They insisted that it doesn't matter what other agents repeatedly told me. At the end of the day, I was the only one responsible, even though I was subjected to purposeful deception. They lied to me for months on end, full stop. Now I have no car. My financial stability is about to be obliterated without proper transportation.They need to pay all these repo fees. They are the ones who literally hussled me for months.Business Response

BBB Case #********
Abby Card
Account Number: *************
This is in response to the complaint filed against Toyota Motor Credit Corporation (****) by ************* regarding the repossession of her vehicle and concerns with not receiving proper notice.
Our records indicate on March 30, 2023, Abby ***** account was 78 days past due and subsequently approved for repossession due to non-payment. Toyota Financial Services (TFS)sent several cure notices and made numerous calls to their address and phone numbers on file.
As reflected on the attached payment history, we did not receive their payment for the months of January, February, and March 2022 payments. As a result, their vehicle was approved for repossession. Rest assured phone calls were reviewed and TFS found no misleading information. At each call she was advised that her payment arrangement was unacceptable and further collections activity would continue.
Pursuant to the lease contract they signed for the referenced vehicle, if a customer should default on payments we may take possession of the vehicle as permitted by law and require our customer to pay the amounts set forth in the contract.
If they should have any further questions, they may contact our ************************ directly at **************, Monday through Friday.

They deducted $840.80 from my account after I told them to cancel it. It was an automatic payment I scheduled but then later cancelled. They took the money anyway. Two separate angents (one agent on 1/29 and another on 1/30) told me not to worry and that the funds will be returned to my account immediately. I do not have any food to eat or buy because now my account is in the red. They are forcing me to wait 10 days for a paper check. I haven't eaten in 2 days. I want my money back. I cannot wait a week to eat again. Everybody I spoke with this afternoon said they understand my concerns but they will not be able to help me. Not acceptable. You can't steal my money and then say OOPS SORRY. I want to eat today. I will not be able to survive another 10 days without my money.Business Response

Contact *********************************** ***********
The **************** of Toyota Financial Services (TFS) is in receipt of the complaint filed against Toyota Motor Credit Corporation (****) and TFS regarding the scheduled payment of $840.80 for the above referenced account.
TFS appreciates Abby ****** continued communication and understanding of its refund policies. While empathizing with Abby ****** ongoing financial challenges, the company deems it imperative to adhere to established procedures to ensure fair treatment for all customers.
As per the call on January 29, 2024, Abby **** was appropriately informed that the Interactive Voice Response (IVR) scheduled payment of $840.80 could not be canceled. In the event of insufficient funds, *************'s bank would return the payment. It is crucial for Abby **** to explore alternative stop payment options or contact the financial institution to provide proof that the payment will be honored which will allow TFS to expedite the refund.
Regarding the call on January 30, 2024, it appears there was a misunderstanding. A returned payment would indicate that **** *********** did not honor the scheduled IVR payment due to reasons such as insufficient funds. A refund would mean an overpayment exists on the account, and TFS could issue a refund for the excess amount.
In this case, TFS can process a refund of $420.40, but it requires proof from Abby *********** that they will honor the full payment of $840.80. Abby **** can fax the bank letter confirming this to **************. Upon receipt, TFS will promptly issue the agreed-upon refund of $420.40.
Please note that requesting a TFS refund and instructing their bank to stop payment for the $840.80 may result in Abby ****s TFS account becoming past due. TFS kindly asks **** **** to choose one of the two options and allow a resolution.
We realize this may not be the response they desired, but we hope our above reply has resolved this matter amicably.
Please know that Toyota Financial Services strives for excellence in customer satisfaction. If there are any additional questions regarding this concern,please contact us at **************.
