Purchased a 2012 ***** from BY4-RYDER (SW Military ***********, **), which is worth about $10000 less than 5he loan. I was only offered one car from the lot. The sale -price was not disclosed until the very last. I make biweekly payments of $233, in which had they been totallybup-front with me, they would have told me I would be setting m6s3lf up for default, because the twice monthly payments come out to a little less than $600 amonth, not including insurance. I feel I was very misguided during the buying and credit process. I have had to take in for maintenan0ce, and told it need an upper control arm, which in fact it just need a s**** tightened up. Since that visit, I have had to replace a complete clutch with a mechanic of my choice. I have a warranty which is pretty much useless, which they were already aware of the day they sold it me. Buying a car here is one of my largest life regrets. DO NOT RECCOMEND TO ANYONE, not even my enemies.Business Response

In the case of *******************************, Complaint Number: ********, we have investigated this matter with the full cooperation of the franchise-owned Byrider.
Ms. *************; purchased a 2012 ***** 3 on October 9, 2023 from the Byrider location on ************************ in ***********, **. The purchase included a 24-month, 24,000-mile limited warranty.
Byrider has established policies and procedures which govern the sales and underwriting process. ******************** signed a retail agreement which secured her purchase. All closings are recorded and executed by Secure Close to ensure consistency and proper disclosure. Our investigation found the terms of the agreement, including the amount financed, down payment and total sales price were disclosed both prior to and during the closing.******************** executed the electronic signature during this process. In addition, the vehicle pricing was on display in the dealership and disclosed on several documents prior to closing including the preliminary purchase worksheet and buyers order. These documents included the price as well as the down payment and were thoroughly reviewed prior to being signed and initialed by ********************.
A review of the Secure Closing found ******************** did not display any signs of dissatisfaction or express a desire to leave. The closing documents were sent via email to the email address provided and confirmed during the application process.
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.
The vehicle was serviced in February 2024 with complaints about the hood release and hearing noises while driving. The technician found that the hood latch and release lever needed to be replaced along with the front lower control arms and transmission mounts. These items are normal wear and tear items that would not be covered by the limited warranty. The technician also noticed the sway bar links needed to be replaced but these would be covered by the limited warranty. ******************** was quoted a price of $640.60 plus tax for the work to be completed but declined the repairs and stated she would take the vehicle elsewhere.
Byrider strives to achieve the satisfaction of every customer. We apologize for any inconvenience the mechanical issues have caused, and we value ******************** as a customer. We look forward to our continued relationship.Initial Complaint

I purchased a vehicle from cnac/jd byrider in ******************* May 2023. I was in a desperate financial situation and accepted a loan at exhorbitant interest rates for a car that was priced significantly above KBB. For one year I made every payment on time. I also invested nearly 2K in repairs as I was not informed of existing issues with the vehicle. In June 2024 I was facing significant financial struggles and was unable to make payments. My car was listed for reposession. Which I understand is the right of CNAC. However, the company engaged in unethical and illegal practices. These included threatening to use law enforcement to repossess the vehicle, threatening and intimidating my children who were not parties to any contract, having a tow truck drivers on several occasions create unsafe conditions pursuing my vehicle. This came to a head when a CNAC contracted tow truck driver started a confrontation by threatening my son which resulted in the staff of a retail store contacting law enforcement.Customer Answer

The person who the BBB has contacted to "resolve" this issue is ********************* Director of CNAC Finance/JD Byrider. He is the individual about which most of my initial claim references. He is now using the information sent by the BBB to make false accusations and threats via text. He is the individual who sent a repo agent to my door in breach of peace to threaten and intimidate my daughter and to threaten to use law enforcement for repossession purposes - a violation of the law in ********. *********************' repossession agents also pursued my son while he was in possession of the car creating unsafe and threatening conditions, again breaching the peace and violating the law that an occupied vehicle cannot be repossessed.
Further, ********************* has threatened me and accused me of unethical behavior simply because I have exercised my rights during this process. He has accused me of hiding the vehicle - not so. His agents have located the care multiple times. He has accused me of making no effort to work with him. Up until threats began, I was diligently working to come up with money to make payments.Business Response

Regarding *********************, complaint number ********, we conducted a thorough investigation with the full cooperation of the franchise-owned CNAC. ************** is dissatisfied with how the vehicle repossession is being handled.
On May 26, 2023, ************** purchased a 2012 ***** 3 from the franchise-owned Byrider location at ***************** in **********, ********. A 24-month, 24,000-mile service contract, whichever comes first, covers the vehicle.
************** defaulted on their retail contract, and her vehicle was put out for repossession on May 24, 2024. CNAC has written policies and procedures in place to ensure every repossession complies with federal and state regulations.
At CNAC, our goal is to provide the highest level of satisfaction to every customer. While we understand Ms. ****** situation, she did default on her retail contract. We are following our policies and procedures throughout the repossession process, and we believe that the repossession is being handled fairly and in accordance with the law.

I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ********, and have determined the response would not resolve my complaint. For your reference, details of the offer I reviewed appear below.
[While i have no doubt that as written the policies of JD Byrider are within the bounds of the law, as executed they have been extraordinarily unprofessional, and I believe in violation of the law. In ********, it is illegal for a repossession agent to use or threaten to use law enforcement to assist in the repossession of a vehicle. Despite this, these threats have been made by both ********************* and the repossession agents (tow truck drivers) on more than occasion. Further, it is a violation of the law to attempt to repossess a vehicle that is currently occupied or to breach the peace. This has also occurred. I again also point out the disparity between ************************* assertion that the vehicle has been hidden and the fact that his repossession agents have located the vehicle several times - they simply were not in a position to take possession of it legally. Further, ************ has sent several unprofessional texts and emails mocking my financial situation, showing a lack of empathy, and making threats.]

While I accept that the business is unlikely to do anything meaningful to address the lack of professionalism or illegal behavior, I want to reiterate, on the record, how and where they have handled this situation with an extraordinary lack of professionalism.First, whether I was or was not in default of a retail contract has never been the issue. A car dealership has legal and ethical obligations to follow through the repossession process. CNAC Finance/JD Byrider/Wood River Automotive/*********************/The repossession agents contracted by CNAC finance has failed to do that at multiple points through the process. This includes
Threatening and unprofessional emails and texts from *********************
Threatening and unsafe behavior from the towing agent
Threats to use law enforcement to assist in the repossession process (Illegal in the state of ********)
Breaching the peace at my place of residence
Attempting to intimidate people who were not a party to the retail contractAttempting to repossess the vehicle when it was occupied

CNAC took money from my account without my authorization. I have a car loan through them due every 2 weeks, with which I agreed upon. My next payment was supposed to be due on the 14th of June, instead they went into my account turned on auto pay and took the payment today (June 7th). When I contacted the company they couldn't explain why the payment was taken today and told me it would take 7 to 10 days before anything could be done about it. Basically by the time I would get the money it would be time to make my payment. I asked several times to speak to a supervisor only to be put on hold and never once transferred to a supervisor. They couldn't explain why the payment was taken, nor would they let me talk to a supervisor about it. This company is taking money from people without their authorization, violating the agreement that I made with them. When I have contacted them before, they never want to help and can never answer anything.Business Response

****************************; filed a complaint number ******** about the accuracy of their credit bureau reporting. Specifically, **************** disputes the accuracy of their CNAC account reported to the credit bureaus.
Upon receiving the complaint, CNAC conducted a thorough investigation of the tradeline and concluded that it was being reported accurately.
**************** purchased a 2013 ******* Sonata on September 30, 2021 from our Byrider location on **************************, IN. The purchase was secured by a retail installment contract.
******************** vehicle was repossessed because of a retail contract default on March 24, 2023. CNAC adheres to established policies and procedures when repossessing vehicles to comply with relevant regulations. All necessary forms and correspondence were sent to the account's address to ensure a smooth process. The repossessed vehicle was sold at an auction, and the proceeds were used to reduce the debt. However, a deficiency balance of $8,304.35 remained, leading to the account being charged off on May 25, 2023.
As a data furnisher, CNAC is required by the Fair Credit Reporting Act to provide accurate credit reporting. Therefore, CNAC cannot honor ******************** request to remove the information from their credit report.
CNAC acknowledges and empathizes with the disappointment expressed by ****************; however, CNAC is obligated to provide accurate credit information.Initial Complaint

They are lying. They are not honoring their warranty. They have no facility here in ****** anymore. They dont want any resolution on this vehicle because they know they make more money by making me keep the vehicle even though it cant be repaired or insured. They also have lied to me several times over the phone stating that they would settle the account for a certain percentage. All Im asking is for that information in writing. They are committing fraud which is why they are lying about Allstate. They know that Im waiting for them to tell me the terms of settling, before I give my car to Allstate.

My car was stolen last night. I called the police and filed a report immediately. I called CNAC as soon as they Opened this morning. The dealership made me aware that they had a tracking device on the car when I signed my lease. I asked CNAC if they would track the car for me. They refused saying that they would only talk to the police even though I had a police report proving that I was telling the truth and my car was actually stolen. I was given different excuses to why they refused to help me find my car. I had the police call and confirm that my car was stolen. CNAC still refused to talk to me they would only talk to the police which is unethical because the police are busy and cant keep calling to look for my car all day. But I can. CNAC still expectS me to pay monthly for a car that I cannot locate even though they have the means to locate it. I even offered to buy the location service from them because most dealerships offer the tracking service but they didnt.

I bought my car with *** Byrider in March 2022. I'm finally in the position to pay the entirety of my car loan off. I spoke to a representative on 4/18/2024. I first give the representative my credit card information and he tells me it doesn't go through. I then try to use my debit card... And again the representative tells me the transaction didn't go through. After both of the cards not going through I ask the representative if we can use my checking account information, finally the representative says the payment went through, tells me to keep an eye out for my confirmation email and congratulates me. The next day I check my bank account to see that multiple transactions from purchases I have never made in increments up to $500 as well as a $600 transaction on the credit card (I have never used these cards EVER, never given the card number out never used the card anywhere. I had just got the credit card in the mail a few days prior to paying off my car and my debit card has been sitting my my desk drawer for months since I opened up my checking account). I called in to CNAC that day to try and speak to a supervisor. After being transferred back in forth a few times I'm then eventually transferred to a supervisor where I'm told that there is nothing they can do besides listen back to the recording as well as the representative who took my call has been employed with the company for awhile now . Obviously there is something wrong going on here, whether its the representative I spoke with who took my card information or something is wrong with the payment system that they use and their customers information has been leaked.Business Response

In the case of *****************************, Complaint Number: ********, we have investigated this matter with the full cooperation of the company-owned CNAC. ****************** is upset with fraudulent charges on her credit card after paying her final payment.
****************** purchased a 2014 Chevrolet Cruze on March 16, 2022 from the company-owned Byrider location on ****************** in ********, ** and made her last payment on April 18, 2024.
We were surprised to learn of these accusations. CNAC has established guidelines and procedures for account servicing. We have attempted to contact ****************** for additional details, but our efforts have been unsuccessful. We ask that ****************** reach out to our collection and servicing managers ***************************** or ************************* at ************** so that we can properly investigate these claims.
