      The van was towed to the Byrider on July 19 2023. After numerous trys to contact the business. The service department *. Told us it was covered under warranty they had to order a part. That was on Thursday one week after they received it. I tried to gat in touch with them every week , twice a week and no answer. We could only get service to answer if we had the call transferred from sales. We got them on the phone that way 3 times and each time *. Said next day on or before the end of the day. Different lies every time. It is now August 13, 2023. They still haven't had the decency or professional sense to let us know any information about the van. We also have children and an elderly mom that have appointments. I need transportation. I pay monthly for that transportation. They don't care. Pleading or threatening legal advice means nothing to them. Reporting them to the BBB means nothing to them. Treating one customer like they are trearing us is unprofessional, unpleasant, rude and they need to take responsibility for selling us a car that blew out smoke from the hood and stopped running while we were driving without warning.

I called jd byider and told them what happened and they forwarded me to the service guy who told me they couldn’t look at it till Wednesday july 5th. After complaining because I had the car less then 24 hours they had me bring it in and looked at it on 7/3/23. They called July 3rd and said the car was ready that it had air in the coolant line. I drove it to work July6th and it overheated again. Check engine came on. I called and dropped it back off offJuly 7th. They didn’t look at it till July 11th and then called me they couldn’t do anything because when they drove it it didn’t overheat. Check engine light is still on. The car has been sitting at there service station longer then at my house. I had to pay for a uber to get to work. I put $200 dollars diwn plus my trade in $600 and I still without a car and having to make payments on it so it doesn’t affect mine and my mother’s credit.

      In the case of ******** ********, Complaint ID ********, we have investigated this matter with the full cooperation of the independently-owned ****.   *** ******** is disputing the accuracy of the reporting of her **** account to the credit bureaus.  

      First and foremost, we sincerely apologize for the delayed response to this complaint. The original and 2nd request were not received by our Franchise Support Center. 

      ******** ******** purchased a 2010 ******** **** * ******* on February 22, 2019 from our Byrider location in Wilkes-Barre, PA. **** has reviewed this account and can confirm that the tradeline is reporting accurately, both in the payment history and monthly payment amount. 

      *** ********’s biweekly payment amount is $188.69. She makes 26 payments per year. Divided by 12, we are required to report that her Monthly Payment Amount is $408.00. 

      At ****, we strive to achieve the highest level of satisfaction with every customer. While we sympathize with *** ********’s situation, **** is required by the Fair Credit Reporting Act, as a data furnisher, to provide accurate credit reporting. We cannot adhere to her request to have this changed on her credit report.

      188.69 by 2 is not 408.00 please ask them for a copy of the agreement . This company doesn't work with you and hasn't even threw covid . Never again will I choose this place nor refer any one here

      Business response

      04/04/2023

      *** ******** still believes we are not reporting accurately the monthly amount. *** ******** pays biweekly, there are 26 biweekly payments in a year which results in 2 months having three payments. The monthly payment isn’t just regular payment times two. We have to take her bi-weekly payment of $188.69 multiply it by 26 to get her year payment amount of $4905.94. Next we take the $4905.94 and divide it by 12 to get the monthly payment amount of $408.82. Which is why her monthly payments will show up on the credit reporting as $408. 

      Regarding the pandemic, Byrider enacted many types of assistance during this period, including forbearance. Our representatives were trained to respond to all requests for help during this time.  

      We have addressed every issue that *** ******** has brought forth and would like this complaint closed in good faith.

I then called back the same day and spoke to ***. She stated she would note the account but I can not speak to anyone higher up. I then went into the shop . I asked again for the same repairs to get done.. to no avail (heat was fixed nothing else) my previous paper work visits were not 100%honest on service part . **** in service told me due to me complaining to the corporate office he would not charge me 175 dollars. He then stated he had to take pictures of my bumper. The pervious visit I asked for a repair on the bumper and I was told no. So the day of "repair" I asked **** to put in writing that 6 issues were still not fixed due to not being able to duplicate. He started yelling stated he would not do that.. I asked for his boss and I was refused contact. He then refused to add the issues . He told me for that to be in writing I must contact corporate. He knows I will as he could see the note in my file and I'm just trying to get a new car. No test drive done even states it on paperwork. I refused to sign. Need to take the car in again as not fixed. I was told the bumper issue should have been noticed at time of sale and I did tell them and that's what previous issues included. I was told 500 to fix.

      In the case of ***************************, Complaint Number: ********, we have investigated this matter with the full cooperation of the franchise-owned Byrider.  **************** is aggrieved by the mechanical difficulties she is experiencing with the vehicle.  


      *************************** purchased a 2012 ********* ****** on June 11, 2022 from the franchise-owned Byrider location on ****************** in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania.  The vehicle is covered by a 36-month, 36,000 mile service contract, whichever occurs first. 


      While we understand that dealing with any service issue may be frustrating, a pre-owned vehicle, like any other mechanical device with moving parts, will require routine maintenance and periodic repairs to ensure its continued use. ****************** vehicle was briefly assessed most recently on  February 8, 2023. **************** came in without an appointment and we weren't able to diagnose anything other than low coolant causing the heat not to work properly. We asked her if she would like to schedule an appointment so we could properly diagnose her vehicle and she declined to do so at that time.

      We would encourage her to contact our service department at ************** to schedule an appointment so we can properly assess the vehicle and determine the best course of action. The issues she's having will require an extended test drive  which would require multiple days in the service center to allow for the extended drives, cold starts etc, as the intermittent issues she described could not be duplicated or detected through scanning diagnostic equipment. Byrider has in good faith stood behind the limited warranty. 

      Byrider strives to achieve the satisfaction of every customer. We apologize for any inconvenience the issues have caused, and we value **************** as a customer.

      I purchased a 2007 ******** from Byrider (maybe 9 months I can't remember the exact date) the check engine light turned on before I even made it home. This car was supposed to come with a warranty so I called them immediately. I have taken the car up multiple times (missing work bc this is a 2 hour drive from the town I live) to have it fixed. The first time they changed the coil packs, engine light came on half hr after I left, took it back a 2nd time they said it was the sensor but it wasn't covered under warranty so I took the car elsewhere and had the sensors changed, check engine light was still on. The 3rd time I took it down they told me to add oil and reset the light and again the check engine came back on within miles. ******* I took my car to a GM dealer and they told me it was the timing chain and I needed to have it fixed before it was too late and that it would cost me about $2000. I again called Byrider and scheduled an apt for them to do it on the 24th. I asked them how long it would take because I live 2 hours away and work 2 jobs. They told me it would be ready the same day unless they didn't have a part that they needed then they would call and let me know. I told them then I would leave my car there over night and pick ut up on thr 25th if I didn't hear anything from them. When i get there on the 25th they informed me they never even looked at my car. They know my warranty with them is almost up because they informed me of this the last time i was there. and I have been trying to get this problem fixed since I first got the car and they have been doing everything BUT fixing it. I had to take my car home with me on the 25th because I couldn't afford to miss any more time off work. I feel they knew they were selling me this car with issues from the get go and they are doing everything they can to not have to fix itu before my warranty runs out. I have been coming to them with this issue for the better part of a year and they keep pushing it off.

      On my credit report I have noticed since I mentioned to this company about trying to buy my home they said a smart comment and report as often as they can with negative remarks and lowering my credit report . If you pull mine and my husband's report you will see how all except them is up and current and has been in good standings . The guy I spoke to name ***** laughed when I told him I'm trying to buy my house and don't such is causing issues . ***** is no different. I mad an agreement with ******* and it's still not good enough for them . As I'm doing the agreement. I had ********* *** helping me also. I'm writing in hopes that you can get some of these negative comments off my report . Also I have asked several times for someone to speak to and they refuse to give me someone to speak to at this company. I have messages where I have asked ****, *****, ******* and ***** it's always an exscuse or they say they will email someone to call me . Why not just give me the number ? This place is beyond shady and I gave them business 2 times with 2 different cars even after they sold me a lemon the first time. I never had this issue with Red white and blue auto and Red white and blue auto didn't put any negative comments as I paid them as well it's all because one of them or maybe more than one of them have an issue with me or my husband and they feel destroying my credit report is the only way. This is extremely frustrating and I decided to come here to see what can be done.
