    We are in receipt of your BBB complaint dated November 14, 2024. We attempted to contact you by phone concerning this matter, but were not able to reach you. We have completed a thorough investigation of the account and dispute. Speedpay, the third party system used for this transaction, experienced a system outage on that day. However, the issue has been resolved and any monies deducted from your account have been returned without being forwarded to us for application to your account. Since we did not receive any funds for this transaction, the payment is still outstanding. We would encourage you to contact us at your earliest convenience so that we can address your concerns and resolve your issue.  Please contact us at ******************************************************************** or call us at ************.

    Financial Institution removed double payments from my account without my permission. I have been in contact with them via phone and email. I cannot get a straight answer when this money will be refunded. I believe this money should be refunded immediately. This is not good business practice, and no way to establish trust between a provider and a customer.

    Re: Account Number: ******* Dispute Investigation Results

    Dear ******** *******;

    We are in receipt of your BBB Complaint.  In your correspondence, you allege that we took money out of your bank account without crediting your account with us.  Our records indicate a payment on June 12, 2024, a payment on August 1, 2024 and an attempted payment on August 30, 2024, which was ultimately reversed.  Depending on your bank, it is possible that the payment may have shown temporarily in your account as cleared before ultimately reversing.  You allege that we are charging you double.  Your balance reflects the principal and interest of the reversed payment and any associated fees.  We charge only in accordance with applicable law and the governing contract.  

    If you have additional questions, you can write to us at the above noted address or contact us by telephone at ************.
    Very truly yours,
    Roadrunner Financial, ****

    Voluntarily returned a camper back in March. They are telling me they still have not sold the camper. I cannot get this resolved. It was a personal loan. They have it marked differently on my credit report. As a repossession, they have not sold the unit. They will not sell the unit as it is brand new. Until my gap insurance is depleted, so they can save money. Why? The company refuses to answer any questions why they refuse to sell it. It's beyond me. I'm hoping a Better Business Bureau will get them straight. And at least have them contact me and keep me informed of what's going on which they have not done not.

    Business response

    ************************,We are in receipt of your BBB Complaint dated as of July 11, 2024. The camper that you voluntarily surrendered in March is at auction and will be sold in the normal cause of business and in accordance with applicable law. We sell all of our repossessed units, regardless of age or condition; however, this is considered a used camper. In addition, we do not make personal loans. Our company finances consumer credit sales. However, we investigated our credit reporting of your account, and confirmed that it is being reported accurately. Generally, a voluntary surrender is a form of repossession and would be reported to the credit bureaus accordingly. Also, GAP insurance covers some or all of an outstanding balance on an account typically after an insurance loss. As the vehicle was not involved in a total loss claim, GAP insurance would not be apply. You may reach out to your GAP provider for further information. We will notify you when the unit sells in accordance with our requirements under applicable law. Should you have any further issues, kindly reach out to us at ****************************************** or call us at ************ and ask for the Operations Servicing Manager - Customer Engagement. Please reference your BBB review. Thank you, the Roadrunner Financial **************** Team

    The account was paid in full on 6/25/2024. My title still has not been released as of today, 7/10/2024 and I am being told that it will be another 2-3 weeks before it is. This company moves at it's own pace with zero regard for anyone else. Extremely quick to get ahold of you if there is an issue but then wants to drag a title release out for almost 6 weeks. Disgusting. Do not use it under any circumstances.

    Business response

    ****************, We are in receipt of your BBB Complaint dated as of July 11, 2024. We have completed an internal investigation, and we have found no wrongdoing on the part of our business. Your account was paid off on June 25, 2024. As of today, we have already requested electronically through the state that our lien be removed. This usually happens within a day, but this is a process on the state's end, so we have no control. After the lien is released, it usually takes the state up to 2 to 3 weeks to process the paper title to the customer. Again, we have no control over this process. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused. Should you have any further issues, kindly reach out to us at ****************************************** or call us at ************ and ask for the Operations Servicing Manager - Customer Engagement, so that we can try to resolve your issue.

    I bought a motorcycle through roadrunner financial with a 91% payment history! Never been late until they took my payment and put it toward the principal and made me late or behind so on June 15th they picked my bike up why? Who told them to put my payment there its not my fault they did that

    Business response

    **************, We are in receipt of your complaint filed with the BBB. We have reviewed your complaint, and we have found no wrongdoing on the part of our company. None of your payments were ever applied straight to principal. Standard payments are applied first to interest, then to principal, then to fees. If a payment is missed, the next payment made goes to cover the outstanding interest, principal and fees before the current payment can be covered. Therefore, if you do not make the makeup payment plus the new payment due, you will remain in default. Kindly reach out to us at ****************************************** or call us at ************ and ask for the Operations Servicing Manager - Customer Engagement, if you have any further questions or concerns. Thank you, the Roadrunner Financial **************** Team

    On 7/7/23, I requested to update my address, as I had moved out of state (**).On 7/16/23, RoadRunner Financial mailed my motorcycle title and original lien release letter to my previous address (**) after being informed of my new address.On 5/21/24, NJ MVC rejected my application for a duplicate title because I could not provide an NJ registration, NJ insurance (I no longer live in ** and cannot obtain a NJ registration or NJ insurance), or the original lien release letter (scanned copy not accepted) required by NJ MVC. On 6/24/24, I called RoadRunner Financial to explain the situation and request assistance. I was told by their customer service representative there was nothing they could do. I requested a call back from a manager and was told to expect one in ***** hours. It has been 7 days and I have not received a call.On 7/1/24, I spoke to the ** DMV about the situation and was informed only NJ can provide a title for this vehicle (please see 5/21/24 note).I am now in possession of a motorcycle I cannot register or sell. I am seeking a replacement title with the lien removed. If there is truly "nothing they can do", I am seeking a refund for the amount financed through RoadRunner financial and in return, RoadRunner financial can take possession of the vehicle.

    Better Business Bureau:

    I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID# ********, and have determined that my complaint has NOT been resolved because:

    I have followed the instructions on how to obtain a duplicate title with the state of **********, but these do not align with the ***** policies.  Since I do not have the original lien release letter, a valid NJ driver's license, NJ vehicle registration, or current NJ insurance, I do not qualify to apply for a duplicate title (attached).  I do not have these items and cannot obtain these items because I am currently a resident of ******** state.  I have reached out to the ***** for assistance as well and they cannot provide a letter certifying the vehicle was never titled in *********  I am requesting Roadrunner obtain a duplicate title since they have acknowledged sending my title and original lien release letter to the incorrect address. 

    Additionally, I have not received an email or phone call from Roadrunner Financial.  The instructions I have followed were provided via phone, as outlined in the original complaint.  Updated contact information was provided via email and phone, as outlined in the original complaint. 

     
    Sincerely,

    Hi ******,

    We are in receipt of your latest BBB response.  We understand your frustration.  We have been having a bit of trouble getting in touch with you.  We have been in touch with both the ******** and New Jersey DMVs trying to get this sorted for you.  

    In this situation, we need to request a duplicate title.  There are two ways to do this.  

    1. You can change your address via the ** DMV website: ********************************************************** apply for the duplicate title via website: *********************************************;(we can reimburse any fees incurred with proof of receipt).

    2. We can submit through our title vendor a duplicate title request, but we will need authorization letter signed by the customer to allow us to proceed with the request. Additionally, we will need to contact the ** DMV to request a letter stating the collateral is registered and not titled in that state.  We have already engaged our title vendor to help us with this option, but please contact us at ************************************************;so that we can get you the letter to sign.  

    We are doing everything we can to get this taken care of for you, but if you could please contact us, we will be able to move forward.  Please let us know if you have any questions.

    Thank you,
    The Roadrunner Financial ****************
