      On June 24 a charge hit my card for autopay plus but then didn't hit my debit directly leaving me locked out of my account and no one picking up the phone. July 1st it finally hit the account. July 3rd they canceled the payment and returned it to their account but not mine stealing ******. Won't let me cancel my account and won't stop pulling money from it or my debt. Literally a scam.

      Dear BBB,

      AutoPayPlus appreciates the opportunity to respond to Mr. **** concerns. We take all member feedback seriously and are committed to providing accurate information and responsive service.
      Mr. *** enrolled in our biweekly payment program at the dealership in connection with his *********** auto loan. On June 24, 2025, AutoPayPlus initiated a debit of $255.79 from Mr. **** designated account. This debit was successfully processed and applied to ******************** loan on June 30, 2025, as his first loan payment in the amount of $252.80, along with our $2.99 ACH processing fee. Upon receipt of this BBB complaint, I personally contacted ****** on July 7, 2025, and explained the details of the processed payment. During the call, Mr. *** requested to cancel his account. I honored that request the same day and issued a written confirmation to the email address on file.

      During the same conversation, I informed Mr. *** that a previously scheduled debit in the amount of $129.39 ($126.40 plus a $2.99 ACH processing fee) was set to process on July 8, 2025, despite the account being canceled. Mr. *** acknowledged that he was aware the debit may return, and we advised him accordingly. This information was clearly communicated as part of our effort to maintain transparency and support during the transition. Because the original funds were applied directly to Mr. **** auto loan and not returned to AutoPayPlus, a refund is not applicable at this time. We understand that Mr. *** may not have been fully aware of the programs structure or benefits at the time of enrollment. Should he wish to revisit those benefits or re-enroll in the future, we remain available to assist him.

      Respectfully,

      ******* P. *****

      Business Response

      Date: 06/25/2025

      To the
      Better Business Bureau:

      AutoPayPlus
      has completed a thorough review of the complaint submitted by Ms. Azaria
      Hosein. The claim alleges that AutoPayPlus withdrew unauthorized funds and
      refers to the company as “scammers.” We categorically reject this assertion.
      AutoPayPlus upholds the highest ethical standards and always strives to “Do
      the Right Thing”—a core value that guides how we serve our members and
      manage account-related concerns.

      Our
      internal review confirms the following:

      Ms.
      Azaria Hosein enrolled in the AutoPayPlus program through her dealership
      on May 3, 2025. She is listed as the primary account holder on the
      account.
      Although
      the account includes a co-signer, Sonja Hosein, all payment activity and
      banking authorization were based solely on Ms. Azaria Hosein’s personal
      bank account.
      The
      only successful debit initiated by AutoPayPlus was a $2.99 verification
      transaction on May 6, 2025.
      Scheduled
      debits for $501.02 (initiated May 30, 2025) and $250.51 (initiated June
      13, 2025) were returned by her financial institution with a return code of
      R10 – Customer Advises Not Authorized.
      Despite
      receiving no funds for these returned transactions, AutoPayPlus made a
      loan payment of $501.02 directly to Ms. Hosein’s lender, which was
      successfully processed on June 16, 2025. This action reflects our Core
      Values of “Above & Beyond” and “We Care”—ensuring the member’s
      loan remained in good standing even though we had not received
      reimbursement. As a result, Ms. Hosein currently owes AutoPayPlus
      $501.02.
      There
      is no record of any other successful debits or funds withdrawn. The claim
      that AutoPayPlus “took an extra $200” is not supported by any banking or
      internal records.

      We have
      honored Ms. Hosein’s request to cease further contact. However, should she wish
      to cure the outstanding balance, AutoPayPlus remains available to assist in
      resolving the matter in a professional and collaborative manner.

      Sincerely,

      Amilcar

      Senior Director of Operations

      I am filing this complaint against AutoPayPlus (******************************) due to deceptive financial practices, misapplication of funds, and refusal to refund payments.AutoPayPlus processes payments in advance meaning payments withdrawn in January were intended to cover February. In January 2025, I traded in my prior vehicle (Kia ******* and no longer had that loan. When I set up my new account for my ******* Tucson, a representative from AutoPayPlus confirmed I had $813 in credit from my Seltos account that would be transferred to my new Tucson account. However, ******************** continued to withdraw bi-weekly payments for my new Tucson loan.Later, I discovered that the lender AutoPayPlus was supposedly sending payments to for my Tucson was not actually my lender they never received any payments from AutoPayPlus. Therefore, in addition to the $813 credit (which was eventually refunded), all funds withdrawn for my Tucson loan should have also been refunded since no payments were ever properly applied.Despite this, AutoPayPlus has refused to refund the additional funds they withdrew for the Tucson loan. They have failed to provide me with a full transaction history or documentation, despite repeated requests. Their representatives have misled me throughout the process, and they continue to withhold funds that rightfully belong to ***** of today, AutoPayPlus has only refunded $813 (the original Seltos credit), but has refused to refund the substantial additional funds withdrawn for the Tucson account, despite the fact that those payments were never applied to any lender.This situation has caused serious financial harm, emotional distress, and credit complications as a result of their mismanagement

      Business Response

      Date: 06/24/2025

      To whom it may concern:

      As the Chief Marketing Officer at AutoPayPlus, I conducted a comprehensive review of Ms. Haj’s accounts and interactions. Based on that review, I respectfully submit the following facts to clarify the sequence of events and address the concerns raised in her complaint. Ms. Haj maintained several sequential AutoPayPlus enrollments tied to her evolving vehicle financing. The specific concern raised in this BBB complaint centers around her enrollment tied to a 2025 Hyundai Tucson. On February 20 and February 28, 2025, AutoPayPlus processed two debits of $406.96 each, totaling $813.92, from her account. These funds were never sent to any lender. Rather, they were held internally while her financing was being finalized.

      On March 6, 2025, the full $813.92 was transferred into Ms. Haj’s most recent AutoPayPlus account (#682449), which was tied to Hyundai Motor Finance. Prior to her first payment due date of April 20, 2025, Ms. Haj voluntarily canceled her enrollment on 4/8/25 and we refunded her $813.92, which cleared on 4/21/25. Because no additional debits were made, and because no payments were disbursed to any lender, no additional refund or adjustment was warranted. Ms. Haj was provided complete transparency throughout this process. On May 14, 2025, I personally sent her a detailed email containing all four of her enrollment forms, full ledger history, and confirmation of the lender details she had requested. Ms. Haj acknowledged receipt of that documentation at 10:26 a.m. that same day.

      We believe that the genesis of the confusion lies with her second enrollment. AutoPayPlus made a first payment of $847.91, which included a principal payment of $284.89. That along with multiple return debits created confusion that we feel have been reconciled in our response. We have submitted each enrollment form in conjunction with all debit/payment history for each account to Ms. Haj. Lastly, we have reconciled the debits for each of the accounts to the payments to each lender through the four enrollments listed.

      In conclusion, AutoPayPlus recognizes that the combination of multiple vehicle enrollments, returned payments, and lender transitions may have reasonably contributed to Ms. Haj’s confusion. While our internal review confirms that all debits were appropriately applied, transferred, or refunded, we remain empathetic to the complexity of her experience. We trust that the information provided demonstrates AutoPayPlus acted in good faith and with full transparency at every step. AutoPayPlus remains available should further clarification be required.

      Sincerely,
      Katherine Pett
      Chief Marketing Officer
      AutoPayPlus

      Her first debit (7/31/2024) was $367.00 (she made this arrangement with the onboarding agent on 7/22/2024).
      Ms. Haj 11/20/24 debit returned R01 and was resubmitted on 11/26/2024 in the amount of $301.46. This includes the $281.51 biweekly debit, $2.45 ACH Fee and $17.50 NSF Fee.
      Ms. Haj 12/18/2024 debit returned R01; furthermore, the resubmittal on 12/23/2024 also returned R01.
      On 1/7/2025 a debit of $600.47 was processed. This includes two debits of $281.51 ($563.02), $2.45 ACH Fee plus $35 (2 debits of $17.50 NSF Fees). This debit was to ensure her payment was made by the 1/15/2025 payment due date.
      Ms. Haj 1/29/25 debit returned R01 as did the resubmittal debit on 2/3/2025.
      On 2/5/2025 Ms. Haj spoke to a manager and expressed that she traded in her vehicle and wanted the balance of $281.51 transferred over to her new account 678405. The manager stated the transferred would be made; however, he did not know at that time that the resubmitted (2/3/2025) debit would return R01.
      When the debit returned the transfer of $281.51 was reversed.
      The total funds debited was: 8 debits of $281.51 which equals $ 2,252.08.  First debit of $367.00. Two other debits (see b and c) totaling $844.53 and transferred amount of $199.40 (see 1) provide a grand total of: $3,663.01.
      6 total payments were made on Mrs. Haj behalf. 1 for $847.91 and 5 for $563.02 ($2,815.10) equals $3,663.01
      All debited amounts were reconciled to the payments made on her behalf.

      * Please note: Mrs. Haj’s first payment included a principal payment of $284.89. She also had several return payments. The combination of these two things we believe led to confusion on her part.

      Complaint: 23442847



      I am rejecting this response because Autopayplus told me that since i double paid global lending i owe them money that’s doesn’t seem right to me shouldn’t the companies be able to communicate that’s and get autopayplus paid so i won’t be paying 1,400 dollars in between both companies. Also i noticed that I didn’t even pay autopayplus the first month i directly paid global lending and there was no complaints, in the picture i displayed it shows payment to global lending services only not to autopayplus they contacted me after when i paid global lending services the first time so why would i need to pay autopay plus now and i am not the only victim to this company the have countless of bad reviews of people having the same exact issues

      Business Response

      Date: 06/11/2025

      Dear Better
      Business Bureau,

      AutoPayPlus
      is providing this response to clarify the facts surrounding Mr. Ira Hemingway’s
      account activity and address the concerns expressed in his recent complaint.
      Mr. Hemingway enrolled in the AutoPayPlus payment program on March 15, 2025, to
      facilitate scheduled payments toward his vehicle loan with Global Lending
      Services.

      During the
      course of the account, multiple debit attempts made by AutoPayPlus were
      returned unpaid, resulting in AutoPayPlus not receiving funds from the member.
      Please note, all debit attempts were returned as R01 or R11 transactions.
      Despite not having successfully debited the member’s account, AutoPayPlus, in
      good faith advanced a payment of $440.46 to Global Lending Services on
      the member’s behalf. The lender has confirmed that this payment was received
      and applied to Mr. Hemingway’s loan account on May 22, 2025. This payment
      was issued via FIS Check #6765544. The amount of $440.46 is
      therefore owed to AutoPayPlus, as these funds were disbursed to the lender
      without corresponding reimbursement from the member. This was fully explained
      to Mr. Hemingway, who acknowledged the balance owed and indicated he would
      contact AutoPayPlus to resolve the matter. The member also made additional
      payments directly to his lender, resulting in what appears to be a duplicate
      payment scenario. AutoPayPlus has provided documentation confirming the payment
      sent to the lender, and it is the lender’s responsibility to address any
      duplicate payment concerns.

      At the
      member’s request, his account has since been cancelled and no further payment
      activity will occur through AutoPayPlus. Additionally, as Mr. Hemingway
      requested no further contact from AutoPayPlus in his BBB complaint, AutoPayPlus
      will honor that request at this time. Should the member choose to contact
      AutoPayPlus in the future to resolve the outstanding balance, we remain
      available to assist. While it is unfortunate that this situation led to
      confusion and frustration, AutoPayPlus has acted appropriately in accordance
      with its program terms and remains committed to transparency and fairness in
      its business practices.

      Respectfully,

      Amilcar
      P. Matus
      Senior Director of Operations

      Business Response

      Date: 06/16/2025

      Dear Better
      Business Bureau,

      This
      rebuttal response is provided to address the most recent comments submitted by
      Mr. Ira Hemingway regarding his AutoPayPlus account. To clarify once again:
      AutoPayPlus disbursed a payment of $440.46 to Mr. Hemingway’s lender,
      Global Lending Services, on May 15, 2025, via FIS Check #6765544.
      This payment was issued in good faith, even though AutoPayPlus had
      not yet successfully debited those funds from Mr. Hemingway’s account due
      to multiple payment returns (R01 and R11 codes).

      Our account
      ledger confirms that:
      All
      prior debit attempts from March through May 2025 were returned unpaid,
      including a final return (R11) on May 29, 2025, for the same
      amount.
      The
      only successful debit was a $0.25 verification on April 22, 2025.
      The
      payment to the lender was issued anyway, at the program’s risk, and
      successfully applied to Mr. Hemingway’s loan.

      AutoPayPlus
      does not receive or retain funds unless a debit clears. In this case, the
      company advanced funds on behalf of the member that were never recovered,
      resulting in the outstanding balance of $440.00. The responsibility to
      repay those funds lies solely with the member. Mr. Hemingway mentions that he
      paid Global Lending directly. If he made a duplicate payment to his lender
      independently, any refund or correction related to that overpayment would need
      to be resolved between him and the lender. AutoPayPlus fulfilled its obligation
      to the lender per program terms and incurred a loss due to the failed debit.

      We
      understand Mr. Hemingway’s frustration; however, no error or wrongdoing
      occurred on the part of AutoPayPlus. As previously stated, Mr. Hemingway’s
      account has been fully canceled, and AutoPayPlus is respecting his request for
      no further contact. The company remains available to the member should he wish
      to resolve the outstanding balance voluntarily.

      Respectfully,
      Amilcar
      P. Matus
      Senior Director of Operations

      Complaint: 23442847



      I am rejecting this response because they claimed that they have never debited but 25 cent from my account but as you can see from my picture i did not pay them in april why should I pay now and also they do not tell you that they charge a fee before they start doing business. Also last month payment wasn’t my fault I accidentally paid global lending twice my actual carnote company and Autopayplus said that when they called global lending they woulnt release the other funds to them. Then Autopayplus stated that its my fault and i had to pay them the amount that means I would have paid over 1,300 dollars in one month, that’s not fair to me that’s why I cut ties with Autopayplus it shouldn’t be my fault that global lending won’t realese funds to Autopay Plus. I will not be giving them anymore money I don’t trust them I still don’t fully know what they do and why I would need them if I can pay my company directly this buiness is a scam, they buy 5 star reviews, I’ve read multiple bad reviews saying the same problems I had I recommend no one use this company just pay your lender directly it is easier and more comfortable 





      Sincerely,



      Ira Hemingway

      We bought a 2020 ********** outlander in 2022 through this ally auto pay plus. Last month (may 5th 2025) we bought a new car through a different company. The ********** was paid off through a trade in. I got a confirmation email for that on May 21st saying it has been paid off. Autopayplus has still taken out 3 payments though. We have called twice now and told we can do it ourselves on the app ( we can not) and told that we had to call our bank to stop the payments. They told us that they would look into reimbursing us for the payments they should not have taken. But we are still getting payments taken out of our account. We are pretty much told they can't do anything to help us or prevent this from happening. I have since called my bank and stopped the autopayment but it is still being taken out somehow. We even had to pay our bank $30 to stop these payments. But they are still coming out. We aren't sure what to even do at this point. We are probably going to cancel our bank account to stop this from happening as we aren't sure who to turn to for help anymore. The payment is ****** bi weekly. And they have taken an extra 3 payments at this time of writing this but may take more if we can't figure out how to stop it.

      Dear Better Business Bureau,

      This response is provided to address the concerns submitted by Mrs. ******* ********* regarding her account with ********************. Mrs. ********* enrolled in the AutoPayPlus payment program on March 29, 2022, to facilitate bi-weekly payments toward her vehicle loan. Since that time, 38 payments were processed on her behalf in accordance with the agreed-upon payment schedule. On June ******, AutoPayPlus sent a regularly scheduled payment of $538.12 to ************** on her behalf, as there had been no notification received that the vehicle loan had been paid off through a trade-in. The first notice of the loan payoff was received on June 9, 2025, when Mrs. ********* contacted AutoPayPlus directly.

      Upon receiving this information, the account was canceled, and no additional payments will be processed. It is important to clarify that AutoPayPlus cannot independently withdraw funds from a members account outside of the authorized payment schedule established when the member enrolls in the service. In this case, payments continued per the established schedule because notification of the loan closure had not yet been received. It is also noted that ************* indicated she was advised to manage this issue through the AutoPayPlus app. A review of internal records revealed no documented conversation in which this guidance was provided by the AutoPayPlus team.Member service and communication quality are taken very seriously, and this matter will continue to be reviewed to ensure accuracy. Additionally, because the payment was stopped through the members bank after it had already been submitted to the lender, there remains an outstanding balance of $269.06 owed to AutoPayPlus for the processed payment.

      On June *******, a call was placed to Mrs. ********* at the phone number listed in the complaint in an effort to clarify the situation and answer any remaining questions. A voicemail message was left, and AutoPayPlus remains available to speak with Mrs. ********* directly to resolve any outstanding concerns. While it is regrettable that this situation caused any frustration, AutoPayPlus remains committed to providing transparency and support to bring this matter to a full resolution.

      Respectfully,

      ******* P. *****

      Business Response

      Dear Better Business Bureau,

      Thank you for providing us the opportunity to address the concerns raised by Mrs. ******* *****. Mrs. ***** enrolled with AutoPayPlus on March 23, 2019. Since enrollment, we have successfully processed 71 payments to her lender, ********,on her behalf. Due to regulatory compliance measures (*****-*****-****** Act -GLBA), lenders do not proactively notify AutoPayPlus when a loan has been fully paid off. Our first indication of payoff was when Mrs. ****** 72nd payment was reversed by ******** on April 9, 2025, due to the account being closed (RPPS Returned Item R02 Account Closed). Upon notification from Mrs. ***** regarding this issue on April 17, 2025, we promptly reviewed her account. An initial refund of $271.12 was issued, covering payments made from March 7 through April 4, 2025. Mrs. ***** stated in her complaint that she was owed an additional $61.70, referencing a discrepancy between the refunded amount and the total withdrawn from her account after March 3, 2025. This prompted further internal review to reconcile the balance in question.

      AutoPayPlus charges a $1.25 ACH transaction fee per weekly debit. Therefore, each debit consists of $54.22 applied to the members reserve balance. AutoPayPlus sends a single monthly payment to the lender based on the accumulated reserve funds.From March 7 through April 11, 2025, six weekly debits were withdrawn. ********* calculated an overage of $61.70 by including the $1.25 ACH fee in each debit, but that fee is not forwarded to the lender. When calculating the total reserve balance collected during that period (6 x $54.22 = $325.32) and subtracting the previously refunded amount of $271.12, the remaining balance is $54.20. Since a $54.22 debit occurred on April 11, 2025, we will refund that amount back to Mrs. ***** to the mailing address we have on file.

      We apologize for any inconvenience Mrs. ***** experienced and thank her for her patience during this process. The refund will be processed promptly. Thank you again for allowing us to address this matter.

      Sincerely,

      ******* P.*****

      I bought car from ****** Springfield PA they signed me up in auto pay plus. Now, they were deducting $780 but bi-weekly. Now, I have paid the car loan right away but autopay still deducting money even though *********** car had closed the account. They have atleast taken $1000 but not reflecting on *********** since the loan was paid off. Where does the money go?I called my bank to reject Autopayplus so that was taken care of but still there is not trace where my payment go. I tried getting someone in autopay plus but I was on hold for more than 2 hours in multiple instance but no luck. Why would car Dealership use them if they are scamming people.I need to get my money back.

      Re:Response to BBB Complaint ******* ********, Complaint ID: ********

      To Whom It May Concern,

      AutoPayPlus appreciates the opportunity to respond to the concerns submitted by our member,Ms. ******* ********.

      Ms.******** enrolled in the AutoPayPlus program on January 13, 2025. As part of our service, AutoPayPlus made two payments of $780.98 each on her behalf to her lender, ************************. These payments were posted and cashed by the lender on February 25, 2025, and March 26, 2025each ahead of her scheduled due dates of February 27 and March 27, respectively. Ms. ******** was charged $390.49 in enrollment fees in accordance with the terms of our program. In total, AutoPayPlus debited $1,952.45 from Ms. ********* account. With two full loan payments made totaling $1,561.96 and $390.49 applied to the enrollment fee, there is no remaining balance available for refund.

      While we regret any confusion or inconvenience Ms. ******** may have experienced, our records reflect that she did not notify us in writing of her loan payoff or request to cancel the program until we received this BBB complaint on April *******. That same day, Ms. ******** registered for her member portal **************************** provides several convenient communication options, including two-way text messaging and the ability to schedule a callback at a preferred time through ********. Both tools are available within the member portal to ensure timely and efficient support.

      Upon receiving her complaint, we honored Ms. ********* request and cancelled her account. Additionally, we submitted proof of payment to her lender to assist with any follow-up she may need to conduct. Since lenders do not notify AutoPayPlus when a loan is paid off, it is incumbent upon the member to inform us so we may promptly stop program services. We trust this addresses the concerns outlined in the complaint. Should Ms. ******** have any additional questions, we remain available and committed to assisting her.

      Sincerely,
      ******* P. *****
