      Southeast Toyota Finance just completely ignores the issues I'm having with making a payment by mobile phone which is offered. The customer service has put in several tickets to IT for review and it continues to be a problem that either can not be resolved or will not be resolved. Its a very simple request. When trying to make a payment a verification code is needed. The verification code should be texted to my mobile phone. Instead, it goes to email. When i go to retrieve my code from email on my mobile phone the prior page to enter this code is gone. Then after several attempts i am locked out. This goes on every month over and over and over and over and over again. No one cares. I don't have access to other devices to make this transaction. Unwillingness to work with me on this is unacceptable .

      I submitted formal written disputes on May 14 and June 5, 2025, requesting validation of a post-repossession deficiency balance that Southeast Toyota Finance is reporting. To date, no itemized accounting, contract, or legal verification has been provided. The company continues to report the account as a charge-off despite failure to validate the debt under **** and FDCPA standards. I followed up via CFPB; the case was closed with no resolution. The company acknowledged receipt of my letters but failed to respond with any supporting documentation. This unresolved reporting is negatively impacting my credit.

      I am rejecting this response because: I have now received acknowledgment letters from Southeast Toyota Finance, both dated July 3rd, in response to my BBB and CFPB complaints. These letters only acknowledge receipt of my complaint and state that they are reviewing the matter they do not provide any substantive response or resolution. Additionally, in their BBB response, the company stated they mailed documentation to me on July 9th. As of today, I have not yet received that documentation and therefore cannot evaluate whether it adequately resolves my concerns. I am not satisfied with their response at this time and request that this complaint remain open until I have received and reviewed a full and adequate resolution

      I am rejecting this response because: While I acknowledge that Southeast Toyota Finance has now provided documents through both postal mail and BBB channels, this does not resolve the original concern under the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA). My certified letter, sent on May 15, 2025, initiated a formal dispute under 15 U.S. Code ?1681s-2, and required a direct, timely, and comprehensive response within *********************************************************************** A delayed response via the BBB or through pressure-driven mailings does not retroactively satisfy FCRA compliance.
      Additionally, under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA), 15 U.S. Code ?1692g, a written validation notice must be provided within five days of the initial attempt to collect a debt. To my knowledge, no such communication was received, and no record of timely issuance has been presented. The documentation now submitted appears incomplete and reactive, rather than proactive or compliant with federal procedure.
      Furthermore, the original inquiry regarding how partial payments would be reflected on credit reporting remains unanswered, and there is no evidence of third-party auction bid sheets or sale confirmations documents that are material to verifying the accuracy of the post-repossession deficiency claim.
      I am not seeking monetary compensation. However, I reserve all rights should this matter proceed through legal channels. I am simply requesting a lawful and fair resolution: removal of the tradeline and forgiveness of the deficiency balance. I remain open to resolving this matter amicably. Should a resolution not be reached, I am prepared to proceed through the appropriate legal channels, including submission of my records and timeline to a court for review.


      Thank you to the BBB for facilitating this process.

      In Feb my husband was in a bad accident in our Toyota leased through setf. My car was totaled out by the insurance company and **** was paid out $32,644 I also had GAP coverage so once this happened and I was informed that Toyota closed my account (ie- they took away all access to any info via my customer portal. Every document is wiped from my account) so I went about my life. Last week I get a credit notification that **** has ***orted a late payment of $1714.28. I immediately call the total loss ***** The events that followed hold terrible customer service to a new standard. The first *** said I was being charged bc I have no gap coverage. He went as far as to say that NO leases have gap coverage and then placed me on hold claimed to have spoken to his supervisor who also said that leases have no gap coverage. At this point he tries to used intimidation to force me into paying right then and there without any documentation of why I was paying them this fee (he claimed that I would be accruing daily interest which I later found out was a lie) at the very end he goes on look u do have gap.. so I req. to speak with someone above him. This *** got on the phone and insisted that my truck was sold at auction.. also untrue, I saw the mangled metal myself.. nonetheless she argued with me. She claimed that gap would not cover late payments (I did a payment agreement after a Nat disaster where I paid a ** fee to cover setf for events just like this to push 2 payments to the end). But the numbers dont add up. After some more back and fourth I insisted she send me copies off all documentation before I pay a *****. She implied that I couldnt afford it and insisted on me giving her my job info (weird, i have a rec of the phone call if anyone at setf cares to hear) I finally got the documents today but the document claims that the unpaid amount is for my ins deductible. She also failed to send my gap policy, from what I can find on setf web ded is covered up to $1k.

      I financed a car through Toyota and made my first payment of $8,000. The following month, I sent another payment of $8,300. I was informed that they received the check but are holding the payment. I believe they are doing this to accrue additional interest on the loan, as I am trying to minimize the interest I pay. I would like to know if their actions are illegal or considered bad business practices, and whether the Better Business Bureau can assist with this. Thank you.

      They are attempting to make it difficult for customers to pay their balance. On the phone they stated the website is for normal monthly payments and not to pay the balance in full. Pay off requires sending in a payoff form through the mail. This all seems to be a subversive way to enable them to collect more interest from clients.

      I have sent messages to the company regarding removing the late charges as a one time courtesy a couple of months ago. I had an issue with making payment on time due to paycheck. My car which is an 2018 Toyota Avalon almost paid off. I think its in September of this year and its like $1000 in late charges every time I put a message they never respond. I mean this is unacceptable. I have been a customer of *******************************************. I dont know how many years and ** asking is a courtesy to remove the late charges due to my car is going to be paid off, the charges in total are like $1000

      4/12/********** PST - Called SETF and reached a rude ***** department" agent, my account is not in arears or behind and she confirmed. Have requested the company get a copy of my title from the **************** so i can register it in washington for 4 weeks now. They keep faxing or saying they faxed something that is not my actual title, and the customer service agents keep referencing that. They cannot understand i need the actual title from **, and ** initially keeps them as electronic copies. The agent is extremely sassy, rude, secretive, and unhelpful. She will not put me through to a supervisor or give me any names or extensions of anyone i can speak to that can facilitate this issue. The person i spoke to was a older black lady that was very difficult and constantly used the tactic of "your phone is cutting out" to interrupt me and throw me off. The individual needs to be fired. I'm tired of calling only to waste my time with useless and unknowledgeable individuals and people unwilling to escalate the matter to someone who can fix this. A lawsuit is incoming if i dont get resolution.

      I am rejecting this response because:

      Laugh out loud. Lol. They submit a response on 4/18/2024 by **** SNAIL MAIL then require a response back within 5 business days -- when it takes about as much time to receive the correspondence. That essentially leaves NO time to reply. Deceptive and trickery. I absolutely reject the business response as deceptive and dishonest as they have not even allowed me to receive the actual contents of their MAIL, not even electronic email. REJECTED. And there is no indication when the MAIL is in transit that they adequately replied. 

      The business asking for a respnse within 5 business days while their response is currently in TRANSIT is absolute bs. Please publish this complaint and the responses. I will bring this to a secondary complaint based on their deceptive practices for replies within this regulatory body. INADEQUATE/NO RESPONSE IS CURRENTLY GIVEN BY SETF AT THIS TIME. NO ACTUAL RESPONSE IS RECEIVED BY THE COMPLAINANT. REJECTED. NO ANSWER BASED ON THE ORIGINAL COMPLAINT.
