I called gmf 1/24/2023 to set up a deferment arrangement. The fee wasnt collected at the time of the arrangement. 2/15/2023 my vehicle is repossessed. I thought the arrangement was processed because I never received any calls and was prepared to make my scheduled payment 2/24 as discussed on the phone. After speaking with many different reps, I find out that they had been calling the wrong number to get me to pay this deferment fee. Upon further research, my phone number was changed by the dealership after I signed the documents with my correct phone number. No one is willing to assist and is asking for 3 upfront payments plus fees to get my vehicle back. Had my number not been changed on documents, I wouldve gotten the calls to pay the fee. Not only has this affected my ability to work, it has affected the lives of my children and the likelihood of us being able to move into another home. All I requested was to be able to make the payment as arranged. Im even willing to pay the Feb payment plus the deferment fee. However, I do not have 3 payments plus repo fees for something that couldve been avoided without this clerical error that was out of my control. Im very disappointed and hope to reach someone that can help before I work on legal remedies. I have proof of the application when I purchased the car with my correct and ONLY phone number and proof of what the dealership claims is on file.Business Response

I was supposed to turn my leased 2019 Equinox at the end of March 2022, but due to the ************** shortage, I was advised by my salesman, ******************* at the ********************************************* dealership in ******* to contact GM Financial & request a 6 month extension which I did. I contacted **** again at the beginning of September since it was getting close to the 6 month extension due date. **** ordered a 2023 Equinox for me & told me to again contact GM Financial to let them know I have ordered a new car (he provided me with the order number to give to GM Financial) which I did. **** said he was unsure of when my new car would would come in. It could take a month or several months, but he would be in touch with me. I made my November payment of $258.74 on November 21, 2022 (due date was November 22, 2022). **** contacted me on either November 29th or 30th and informed me that my car was in and ready for pick up. This was a very hurried process since he wanted to get me the best deal before any incentives may changed at the end of the month. I turned my 2019 Equinox lease in on Thursday, December 1st and picked up my new 2023 Equinox lease. I was told that I wasn't going to receive a refund for my November payment since I only had my 2019 Equinox for 10 days of what I paid for an entire month or 31 days. I spoke to ***************************** and everyone just tells me too bad! By my calculations taking the total I paid for November which is $258.74 dividing it by 31 days = $8.35. So 10 days x $8.35 = $83.50 for the 10 days I had my 2019 Equinox (Acct #************). I should be refunded $175.24 for the remaining days in the month I paid for and did not have the 2019 Equinox. **** should have had a time frame of when my new Equinox was to be delivered & should have advised me of a delivery date and what to do about my November payment, but he failed to contact me until my new Equinox was ready to be picked up, the November payment was made & the process was rushed.Business Response

I am rejecting this response because: I am attaching the consent form as requested by GM Financial. I am only allowed 6 calendar days to either accept or reject GM Financials resolution which is supposed to be mailed on Tuesday, February 28, 2023. By the time I were to receive the letter of explanation via the ***** it will be passed the 6 calendar days and the case would be closed.

I am rejecting this response because:Thank you for your deviated response to my initial complaint and request of a refund formy last lease payment of $258.74 made on November 22, 2022 which was finallyaddressed in one sentence in the second to last paragraph of your letter.Your response tries to embellish what a wonderful job GM Financial did with extendingmy lease, adding more miles, etc. Again, my complaint had nothing to do with any of theoutlined information you provided, only about the last lease payment I made and the timeI actually was in possession of my previous lease vehicle.The issue still remains that I made a full monthly payment for a lease vehicle onNovember 22, 2022. This covered payment on the vehicle from November 22, 2022through December 21, 2022. I only had the vehicle in my possession for 10 of thosedays, again November 22, 2022 through December 1, 2022. I am not paying forsomething that I did not have. The fact of the matter is nowhere in any of the documentsyou provided does it state GM does not pro rate payments based on the number of daysthe vehicle is in my possession during a months time.

We paid off our auto loan in its entirety December 28 2022. We received a letter around 1/14/23 stating that they had released the title. As of 2/8/23, no title had arrived, so we contacted the Idaho ***. They have a purely electronic system, and said the electronic title release had not been granted.I spoke to a representative on 2/7/23 who said I just take the letter I received confirming payoff to the ***.On 2/9/23, the several Idaho *** and **************** representatives said in no uncertain terms that title releases are electronic only. On 2/8/23 I spoke to another representative who convinced me to accept a notarized title. I got that and the *** said no, it has to be electronic. On 2/9/23 I spoke to a representative who was going to escalate it for electronic release, then have me called back within ***** hours. As of 2/16/23, one week later, nobody called me back, and *** confirmed no electronic title release. Spoke to a rep on 2/16 who said I should use the paper title. I said I the *** would not accept it, and need to speak to a supervisor. She promised a supervisor call back "after lunch." Two hours later, after no call back, I spoke to another rep. ** said the same story, that paper should be accepted, and that he would escalate itagain. ** sent me to a "manager" voicemail to leave my number for call back. ** was friendly, but did not understand the problem.I have a buyer coming in two days for the car, and no end of this fiasco with my title is in sight.GM Financial has a major glitch in their system, and their reps are not educated at all about the concept of electronic title release. This is likely to cause me a lost sale, and has already delayed the sale by one month past when we should have had the title in hand.Business Response

Due to pandemic it has caused me to become behind on my car note therefore resulting in over $600 in late fee. I have attempted to work out a resolution of absorbing fees and was told no fees were assessed over the pandemic and I explained, as we are still in COVID, I am trying to catch up but the late fees are higher than my car note and no representative has been willing to help.Business Response

I have a 2021 ***** equinox with GM Financial. I started to have health issues early of 2022. I reached out to GM financial letting them know I was hit with ***** and that I was health issues. I asked them for a payment arrangement and they told me there was nothing they could do. April 2021 I contacted them before my late payment hit, letting them know that I was still suffering from health issues (as i had become permanent disabled with 4 different disabilities) both physical and mental. They still offered nothing to help me despite my efforts and continuous communication. I received a late payment on my credit which tarnished it. I called them again, this time they told me i could get a payment arrangement (which i was eligible for this entire time). In october of 2022 my health issues were worse, my grandfather had been in the hospital since september 2022 and ultimates passed away in october and my job had also cut my hours due to Covid passed around. I contacted them yet again and they were unwilling to accommodate me. In november they offered to accommodate me but I received yet again TWO more late payments. I sent an email to the ceo providing documentation of my situation and never got a response. I included medical information that was only supposed to be reviewed by the *** ***************** and *******************, yet it was reviewed by SEVERAL employees without my consent or knowledge. I did not find out until I called the executive office to get in touch with the *** regarding my ****** ****** told me they are not going to help me. I am utterly mortified by this companys lack of empathy & concern for their customers that pay their bills. They clearly dont care about disabled people at all and hold us to expectations of able bodied people. Their ********************* of my credit has caused my mental disabilities to worsen and I am strongly considering suicide due to this. I have hired a lawyer and I will be pursuing litigation if my case is not resolved immediately.Business Response

On September 22, 2022, a car dealership in *********, ***** known as '********* ********' fraudulently submitted an application for credit on my behalf, without my knowledge or permission, to multiple financing companies. This included GM Financial (DBA AmeriCredit Financial). They obtained a copy of my consumer credit report and initiated a "hard credit inquiry", which adversely affects my creditworthiness. I wrote to AmeriCredit Financial repeatedly to inform them of the fraudulent nature of the credit application and to request that they retract the inquiry as unauthorized. I have also filed a police report regarding the unauthorized use of my information to apply for credit in my name. AmeriCredit Financial has so far failed to do so, and the last correspondence I sent them on January 11, 2023, was returned to me because they provided an incorrect address to the credit bureaus with their inquiry. At this time, I ask that they please review the correspondence I sent them (enclosed) and remove the unauthorized credit inquiry from 09/22/2022.Business Response
