    I recently bought a Honda Pioneer. The machine is fine thus far, but trying to get my account set up and then pay my payment has been a nightmare. All along it's been a frustrating experience, lack of information being just one thing. Never again.

    I will never purchase another Honda again let alone use this financial service. Not only did I continuously have issues with this institution but after paying my car off, I never received a title or any paperwork concerning the matter. When I reached out to customer service they advised me they had mailed the titled and it was showing in their system as “received” (which I never received) and that I would have to pay for a duplicate. So, I paid 40 thousand dollars on a car, which I don’t even have a title for, never received and now I have to pay for a duplicate title for THEIR error. Most absurd thing I’ve ever heard of. I will never recommend this institution to anyone.

    I was having hardship So a Account Manager called me and I Answered. She asked was this a good time to talk. I said yes so my friend decided to leave. On the way out I told her thank you (She stopped by after burying my step dad). I explained to the Account Manager, "Sorry I was speaking to my friend who was leaving." She then says, "So are you talking to me or her." I said, "Excuse me ma'am, she left.." She then respond, "Yea because I'm talking to you and you're talking to someone else." I said, "I'll just call back to speak to someone else."

    When I called back a nice guy transferred me back to Account Management. Which was sad because another angry lady got on the phone (Or maybe it was the same lady). The way Account Management treat their customers is nasty. And If I knew what I found out today I wouldn't have got a car with Honda. The purpose of an Account Manager is to build a relationship with the clients or customer. I think they forgot that. I believe they need customer service training. Or maybe a big supervisor should act like a customer needing help by Account Management and see how he gets treated (Very argumentative).

    All I wanted to do was purchase my car at the end of the lease. You can find the payoff amount in your account though the website says you have to call them. If you call them they say you can mail a check and a form to one address or overnight it to a different address. Nowhere does it tell you you can pay it off through your bank account or call and pay it off with the account number and the routing number. When I identified the lack of the second set of options on the website. When I provided this feedback to a lease maturity representative and I identified the four options he mocked me by laughing at me and said “There are only 3 options, not 4”. I explained that overnight or regular mail are two separate options. He laughed at me again with a mocking laugh. I told him I didn’t think his laughing at me that way was appropriate and he laughed some more and hung up.

    How can a financial institution finance a vehicle that when adding the negative from a previous vehicle places this new financed vehicle above the worth of the vehicle, thus placing a 2024 $11,000 under the value of the vehicle. Is this even legal?

    Honda Financial Services has the worst website I have ever seen. This is a disgusting company. Customer Service is horrible. My husband purchased a Honda Ridgeline which he drove twice before he passed. He owned the truck four months before he passed and put 133 miles on it. Honda was adamant about not taking the truck back. As far as I am concerned I would never purchase any vehicle from Honda and I would never let Honda Finance take on the loan. They are all dirt bags and should be ashamed of how they have treated my husband who was a veteran and myself.

    If I could give a zero I would. Very upset with the service from this company. I am in the process of transferring a lease to another person and customer service cannot transfer calls to the representative of the company, they never return my calls. They do not send me the letters that I must sign to continue with the process, they tell me it can take 90 days but it turns out that at this point it will take a year. The response from customer service is frustrating, and it does not matter if you speak English or Spanish. The system they have is very unserious.

    Contacted Honda Financial Services three times (over several weeks) to have them send documents to get my car re-registered to my son. First, waiting time to talk to an agent is excessively long (15-5 minutes). Secondly, agents I talked are generally knowledgeable. Thirdly and the worst part is: following through and communication on the progress of the requested documents were poor so that I had to call them three times!

    Worst customer service ever experienced. After 17 phone calls over a 6 month period and escalating all of them, so multiplied by 2 and talking to 37 different people, they refused a very valid request to transfer equity. They made it clear the customer does not matter. We will never buy another Honda - ever. Highly disorganized, arrogant company.

    They have the WORST customer service. They will make you wait forever on the phone to talk to a real person. They do not support you when life happens and will attempt to repo your car at the first opportunity (only had 2 late payments over 5 years and they tried to take my car while I was in between jobs in college). Call center employees have given me more attitude than a high school girl. They will call and harass you during work and nighttime hours. They do not care about you as a customer only your money, and they make it abundantly clear the longer you have your Honda and have to deal with them. I have many stories, but let me save you time by just saying finance somewhere else. I love my Honda but I will NOT do business with their financing office again. They are a predatory business looking to take advantage of you.

    Sloppy foreign company that hires ** puppets to defraud hard working ** innocent consumers, this starts with the dealerships that sell you warranties that other Honda dealerships don't accept, and ends with you getting overcharged through their financial services. Take my advice. Keep it one hundred percent American and stay away the dealership unless you pay cash and walk away.

They care nothing about consumers, they just want to take their money, I was in a horrid situation in April with my brand new just driven for like 30/45 minutes.

    I bought my first Honda in 2019 and traded it in 2020 for another Honda dealership. Fast forward to May 2024, I traded that Honda for a Ford. Ford told me that Honda has not reported a single payment, mind you all of my payments have been on time for almost 5 years. I called Honda and they said they don't report to the credit bureaus until after the account is closed. I said okay, that in and of itself is not great because a good payment history positively impacts your credit history which can lower your interest rate thus saving consumers thousands of dollars.

    I said well, my 2019 was paid off as a trade in and the account is closed and there's also no payment history for that. She said unfortunately that account is archived because it was so long ago and they were doing system updates and it didn't get transferred over. But, because it had been so long they can't do anything about it. Seems pretty scammy to me? I have access to all of my old payment history and they are telling me they don't? It was admittingly their error and they knew about it and they chose not to fix it for their consumers. It sounds to me like they just want the higher interest rates so they can make more money. SHAMEFUL, TRULY.

    Terrible customer service stemming from the whole system. Paid my Honda in full. Requested title and bill of sale. Bill of sale was incorrect. Went through hoops and many calls to finally get a corrected bill of sale which will only be mailed at my expense. Finally received the updated bill of sale with state ID missing and does not match the title. Meanwhile I cannot transfer the title and continue getting billed for a car I traded in. I phoned today and customer service states there’s no supervisor and nothing they can do. They offer to send over a limited power of attorney via email but I may not be able to use it unless it’s the original. I request it to be certified and I’m told only at my expense although this has been their errors. Wanda the rep advices I will receive the email in 10 mins. 30 mins and no email.

    Paid off my Honda Financial lease on March 7th; had a buyer. Customer service simply blows you off. First, they claimed to not have received the required odometer statement. Wrong! After two days and numerous calls (bear in mind that I had an email from Honda acknowledging receipt of the odometer statement) one of their phone reps “found” my statement on a “second screen”. That’s it? Nope. Odometer statement I submitted correctly reported mileage of 3,702. We’re old folks, hardly drive and statement was accurate. So, what did Honda report on the transfer title? 37,002 miles for a car we had for 9 months at that point?! They didn’t call or email me about the matter before completing the title I needed.

    As a direct result of their reporting the erroneous mileage on the title they sent I had to have a title redone in Maryland twice at a combined cost of about $175. Problem solved? Nope. The erroneous 37,002 miles reported by Honda flowed through a pervasive system that included Md Motor Vehicle Authority and Experian and odometer certification from the Md State Police. The correction of the mileage on affected systems is still in progress 34 days after I correctly paid off my car loan. Honda Financial simply doesn’t care. All I can hope now is that the buyer I had almost five weeks ago will hang in there. Good cars + lousy customer service = Honda car avoidance unless you can pay cash.

    I have never dealt with such inept financial company. I've had 3 vehicles through Honda Financial, lately it has been terrible. Last year, I bought a new Honda and financed through them initially. But decided to get a better rate elsewhere. Getting the title transferred was a nightmare. No one knew where the title was and became a 2 month process of them transferring me around to finally get to my new finance company. My other car I had with them. Recently was totaled. My insurance company sent the payoff, we're 3 weeks into them sending and Honda keeps saying they don't have the payoff. Now my payment is showing late. I've had both insurance and Honda reps on the same call. My insurance company shares the check information and everything they need and still no luck. Once this last car is paid through insurance, I'll be glad to not have them.

    Approximately two weeks ago, went into ford dealership and I got a Bronco 2024, and my spouse got a new F150 4x4. Honda calls the day after payment was due. We had purchased these new rides on 17th. Payment for Honda was due on 25th. They call and I answer. The loan guy said, oh you traded to a third party? I said, no. I traded for a Ford. I didn't go through Craig's List to sell it to a rando. He said, that's third party. Why, I said. He said, because it wasn't a Honda dealership. I said, let me stop you! Hold up! We went to Honda and didn't like anything.

    We've purchased 9 vehicles from Honda in our lifetimes, and ever since Covid, you nor anyone there has helped me to defer anything. The rude, ugly, and despicable attitudes were enough to make us go elsewhere. See, I owed one more year. I got that in trade-in. So, I wasn't upside down. He said, well we don't know this! We see something but not payment. You see something, I said?! He wouldn't elaborate any further as he knew what he said. I called my Ford dealer accounting department. She told me that Honda received and approved the ACH payment on 22nd. This meant that YES. They got paid off four days before due date.

    When I get called again, I'm not going to be nice. I was first time. This guy should be ashamed. Assuming all people are bad. Shame on HONDA. Never again!! If you need help, expect nothing. They used to NOT be this way. Now, they are hateful!! Now, I always paid my pmt on day 29. I couldn't get help from them, so I gave them no late fees and no $$ until point where I could not be late 30 days. This is how mad they made me. Ruining people's credit is an easy task for them. I played the game. My payment due for March 25th was to be paid on 24th. By then the next payment was also there, along with fees. I hope they are happy. Straightening up would be great!

    I just got a call from Honday saying my lease is coming to an end. First off Honda been took my car. Customer service from Honda very poor with a lot of representatives. They don't care for anyone situation. My car was 6 months away from my lease ending. Honda took my car back. Mind you even if I was late on payments not more than a month late but late but always paid. No repo. Until the year of 2023 I had my newborn and then after I had to do sureger. I was not working from April to August. I had no income for 3 months and half. Disability and FMLA took forever. Didn't come in until August and when it did I paid rent that was behind and my car note two months.

    When it already went into repo I called and the lady told me, "Pay this amount," which was two month to get back off repo and I did. And I explained to her my situation and told her I just got back to work now August 26 and won't get my first check until September. I told her I will pay another 2 months later in September. She said okay. Can you believe I got paid the 25th and the 24th they took the car. They didn't care that I had no income to pay my car or my bills at home for 3 months sitting with no income but WIC and food stamps. And borrowing money. It's not like I went unemployed. I been in my job for 7 years. And had 3 cars from Honda. And look what they did. And I planned on staying with my car. They wanted me to pay $39K to get my car back. They care more on getting money than actually having a customer for the long run. I will not ever get a Honda again.

    American Honda Finance is without exaggeration the single worst company I have ever interacted with. I began leasing a 2023 Honda Civic Sport in June of 2023 and have only had negative experiences in dealing with this company. I originally enrolled in EasyPay automatic payments, however money was mistakenly withdrawn from an account with insufficient funding. According to Honda, this occurred on 3 separate instances, which I do not recall. As per their policy, which I was never made aware of, this made my account ineligible not only for EasyPay, but for all online payments for 12 months.

    From that point on, I have been effectively limited to either paying my bill over the phone or paying through the mail. This would not pose much of a challenge if it were not for American Honda Finance’s abysmal telephone menu system and customer service. When I call +1 (800) 517-9699, the poorly optimized automated menu system easily picks up on surrounding noise through the phone, making it difficult to input answers or remain on the line without interrupting/ending the call. Navigating the menu tree takes me to a few sparse options, almost all of which read me information that I can easily access myself through their website. I have zero options for accessing a live agent or representative outside of the narrow time frame of Monday to Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM.

    I have tried calling during business hours and on multiple occasions I was still unable to reach a representative. Without a person to talk to for assistance, there is no way for me to pay my bill. So despite my lease bill being due on Friday, February 16th, I am unable to pay it on time now that it is 5 PM, due to their restrictions. It will take too long to mail a check, and the phone lines are closed. So they have forced me to pay my bill late, incurring a penalty fee. This has been an issue I’ve had every single month due to Honda’s draconian policies surrounding online payment. Please, if you are considering doing business with Honda, I urge you to reconsider. I would give anything to end my contract with Honda and never interact with their slimy corporation again. They practice bad business and I do not want others to have to suffer through the same frustrations that I’ve had.

    I was going to purchase and I was going to purchase a new Honda pilot, but not now! Absolutely the worst customer service experience I’ve ever had! Never received my title, when I went to the clerks office to get a new one issued, they said Honda still had a lien against it. However, he said that happens sometimes and lenders are quick to fax the lien release so the person can get a replacement title. Not Honda. You have to pay up to $60 for them to do the work they should’ve done anyway. And then it takes several days to receive it. When I called customer service not only would a supervisor not come to the phone. I was told they never come to the phone and then I was hung up on.

    I love the car, I leased a Honda Fit 2020 for three years, and my husband and I decided to purchase the car this past July. In the process, however, we were misled by the salesperson, Sadiq. During our negotiation he promised us at least $4500 for the car we were trading in. We explicitly told him that we would not accept the offer unless they can match the number. He came back after negotiating the price, and exclaimed, "I got it!!" --- as if he successfully negotiated for the price requested.

    Later, as we were going over the paperwork and financing options with the Finance Manager (as other reviews have said, he is a grumpy, unfriendly old man) he revealed to us that the car was accepted for $500 less than the negotiated amount and the monthly car payment will also be higher than what Sadiq promised us. We learned from this greatly disappointing experience, and decided to never go to Ed Napleton to purchase a car. I highly recommend avoiding this car dealership.

    Went to Honda to turn in My 2022 Ridgeline for a cheaper car so I could pay lt off faster. After all was said and done here are the negatives. Honda claims to pay off the loan of your other car but in reality the payments you owed are tacked on to your new vehicle so you're paying for 2 cars and only getting one. Registration fees which should be $225. They charged $298 so $70 more than what it should cost. Got charged $1000 for delivery fee.

    They took nothing off my car for the truck. In fact they said the trade-in value was 34000 and they had to pay 38000 so guess who had to pay the difference. I got charged 640 for key replacement when the car never came with a second key like it's supposed to. Nothing was explained in detail when it came to expenses. Fees, Value, trade in..a car that was marked at 26000 ended up costing me 55000 when all said and done. I would not go to honda.

    I purchased a Honda CRV, had good service up till I paid it off. I had sold it and needed a lien release statement so called and asked for one, well they sent me one in the mail and it took 2 weeks to get it. Went to the DMV to transfer and they wouldn't because honda filled it out wrong. So called again, and by the way it's always 45min before you can actually talk to someone. Anyhow they said they would send another one. After almost a month had past I called again and was promised they would send one right out even stated they would rush it to me in the mail. Waited another 14 days and got a letter from them, took it to dmv to transfer and they sent the wrong darn paper. Now I have to call again.

This department has the most unprofessional and unethical personnel working there.

    This company is the worst!!!! They are not transparent and will repossess your car very easily. My car was repossessed at 10PM on Thursday night. They came to my house and damaged my parking lot and did not inform me of my rights. My car was damaged during the repossession. It kept leaking oil and have some scratches when I went back to pick it up. The only reason I got the car back was because someone told me they would sell it in an auction for almost anything and would charge me for any losses that I may have. It was the worst experience of my life. The repossession messed up my credit. They couldn't even explain the extra charges on the buyback price. This will be my last Honda.

    American Honda Financial is tarnishing the Honda Brand. The difficulties I’ve had since day one and the way they treat their customers is terrible. They have a serious problem with technology and communication. they do not care about helping resolve issues or helping customers. I have never dealt with a company Who’s employees lacked the basic ability to use their own platform, or communicate with it’s on employees.

    Everyone I dealt with at American Honda Financial since 2021 cared more about passing blame, or winning some pretentious argument, than they did about taking care of fixing their own problems. They will always imply no matter what that the customer is the problem. They contradict themselves and each other, or in some cases just flat out lie, before they will admit they caused the issue. I can honestly say that American Honda Financial is the worst experience I’ve ever had and because of that I will never buy another Honda. I think that is very sad.

    Communication at this company is terrible. In 2021, Honda's website took out too much money. The next day I was on hold for over three hours, then it beeped and disconnected. I called back and it took 45 minutes to get someone on the phone. In 2022, I spent over 6 hours trying to find a working phone number to Honda Financial. I ended up going to the dealership, by the time the dealership could provide a working number, Honda Financial was closed which prolonged my issue.

    When I have gotten someone on the phone they would just blame their computer system or the phone. Ironically though, they also have claimed that I shouldn't have had issues with their website or their phone. I guess they can blame their system but the customer isn't allowed. They actually, until recently, had two different websites, neither of which worked for me. I can honestly say Honda Financial has been the worst company I have ever dealt with. I would rather be ran over by a Honda at this point than deal with the pretentious people at American Honda Financial.

The payoff amount the insurance paid was $200 more than the payoff amount I saw on our account/statement. I called customer service to demand explanation and I was given the runaround. At first, they said it is the gap insurance. Now it is because they charge different amounts if it is the insurance that pays for it or I pay for it. But why? At the end of the day, the amount the insurance paid was substracted from my settlement amount on the vehicle = I paid for it. What did Honda financial do extra to the insurance to warrant the $200 surcharge? Imagine they do this to every single customer, how much money are they making just off of other people's misfortune?

    This is unethical and wrong. Customer service rep lied to me just to get me off the phone on 08/09. I was told that the manager triggered a refund and the check is on the way.

He auto paid the entire lease term, and never had a late payment. I mailed the final buyout payment, as instructed, 6 days before it was due. Three weeks later, my check not cashed, I phoned customer service because that is the only way to contact them...no email or online chat. The agent (after 1 hour 20 minutes on hold) said it seemed to take an average of 5 weeks for them to process payments, no reason why. I asked her to make a note in my file so they knew I paid and the problem was on their end.

    For the next 5 weeks, I got a daily prerecorded message telling me my payment was overdue....couldn’t talk to anyone, it hung up immediately. Customer service hold times were over an hour long, and it’s impossible to wait while at work. Then I started getting “return the car” demand letters. I went to the dealer, whose unhelpful response was “you should have come here to pay”. I wrote a letter and demanded a response, including them noting my payment was timely, as I knew it was going to affect my credit score.

    So, 7 1/2 weeks after my on time payment was made, my check was cashed. Here’s the fun part: I have not made a late payment on anything in the last 25 years.

    1. Create a service on your website where consumers can easily check up on the status of their ticket. This will decrease your high call volumes tremendously.

    2. Train your employees better because I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one who got a wrong "Title" shipped to them.

    I hit the payoff button on my Pilot in September 2019. A few weeks went by before I checked online and then I realized there was a small amount owed based on a recalculation of taxes. I was given no notice of this. After paying this amount, I then waited several weeks later but received no title. I called and found out that they were missing a motorized odometer statement. I was not contacted and informed this was missing and only learned when I called customer service. You have to navigate the prompts in the automated operator (failing them intentionally if you actually want to talk to a human) and the wait time is always around an hour.

    Weeks go by and no title. I call (and wait) again. I’m told they have my statement and the title was coincidentally just mailed out. Still, weeks go by and no title. I call in (and wait) again and the agent tells me there is a problem with the state BMV because I used a mailing address (P.O. Box) rather than a street address even though I provided both. I tell them that they can use the physical address.

    Weeks go by and no title. I call (and wait) again and learn that they were told they couldn’t use a physical address and needed a mailing address for the title and that everything the previous agents said was wrong. She promised to call me back that day with a tracking number. She didn’t. The registration on the car expired because I was waiting to renew when I had the title. Still no word from Honda. I’ve tried calling many times and they seem confused about how the system works and how mail delivery works. It seems they work with a third party and the agents contradict each other. There is no direct line and you’re always on hold for an hour.

    If they mailed the title today, I would receive it five months after the day I hit the payoff button, but that won’t happen. I have called so many times and gotten so frustrated that I’m considering a civil suit just to get a response. My last three cars were Hondas but this experience has soured me on the entire brand. I wish I could just get a refund. Avoid Honda Financial at all costs. There are many options out there and you don’t have to take the dealer-arranged financing because it’s convenient.

    I paid for a 6 mo. Lease extension on my vehicle. Honda repossessed the vehicle within 3 weeks of the agreement. I called to retrieve the vehicle because I had intended on keeping the vehicle to finance. I spoke with a supervisor who stated “the only thing I can do is give you money off your next payment but you have to pay $400 to reinstate the vehicle." This does not include the additional fees for the repo agency. Why pay for an extension and repossess the vehicle?

    Oh where to begin, I had to call two times to get my payoff letter. The second time they said they could email it to me, which they said they couldn't do when I made the first call. After I get the payoff letter I go to the bank and send out the payoff. Three weeks and several calls later they say they still don't have it, so the bank stops the payment and overnights the payoff. Which we informed Honda Financial we were doing. They get the original payoff and the new one the same day and process the cancelled check. I wish that their customer service was consistent, however it is not.

    I turned my lease in early in October because I would be away when it was due. Towards end of my term I called and told them I just put a down payment on a new Honda Civic but since the dealers currently don’t have any cars To give I wouldn’t get it until December (3rd dealer I went to that told me this). I told them I was getting another Honda and about the down payment thinking they would waive the $300 admin fee they charged me to turn in my lease since if you get another car through them they waive it. I was told at the time they couldn’t do that without a contract in hand. I explained about the situation. The girl was unapologetic and wouldn’t help me further.

    Finally got the contract today and finalized the car lease and called again to get the fee waived - once again was told I had until Nov 2nd to have car in hand or it wouldn’t be waived. Was I supposed to build the car myself? There is a supply chain issue at the moment in case Honda Financial Services is unaware and they were completely unapologetic. Could care less about the customer or anyone other than themselves. They are taking advantage of a bad situation and I am disgusted by this company. I had to ask to speak to a super but was told one would have to call me back in 1-2 days. Who runs a business like this? It is disgraceful. BBB needs to take a look at the way they do business here.

    My girlfriend and roommate of 12 years passed away 27 March 2021. I contacted all of her creditors between 30 March and 03 April to report her passing, and almost all provided instructions on what would need to happen to close out her accounts. Honda Financial Services suggested that I keep the vehicle, VIN **, and take over payments, otherwise call them back after I had her death certificate.

    Her vehicle was returned two weeks later to the dealership where she had leased the vehicle, along with a copy of her death certificate. Honda Financial then called, asking if I had received a death certificate. I told them that yes, and it was provided to the dealer when I returned the vehicle. I provided e-mail confirmation that included the associated documentation. Several weeks later they sent her a letter saying she had missed a payment and that it would reflect poorly on her credit rating if not paid immediately. She had a credit rating of 815 at the time of her passing. I thought there had to be a mistake, who would threaten a dead woman’s credit score, it had to be a mistake. I again provided all of the documentation I had regarding her death and the return of the vehicle.

    Next, she received a letter stating that she was in gross violation of her lease contract and included a list of additional charges on top the lease balance remaining to include cost of repossession and storage. This time when I called to complain about them threatening a dead woman and adding what seemed to be unwarranted charges to her account, I was told they couldn’t discuss the matter with me. I’ll admit, that this point, I may have gotten a bit abusive and hung up. But, since they finally acknowledged her death and said that I was not who they should be talking to, I thought this was the end of it. I find it very distressing that Honda Financial Services would callously send letters to her place of residence, levying inflated charges for things they didn’t do, and threatening her exceptional diligence in ensuring all of her obligations were paid on time.

    Finally, 4 months after her passing, 3.5 months after the vehicle was returned, numerous times after being informed of her death, they sent her what I hope will be a final letter. Again, they seemed to be unaware that she had passed away. In this letter they state they made an additional $4020 over the lease value of the vehicle and she was not getting any of it, and further they will file a negative credit report if she fails to meet the terms or her credit obligations.

    I feel harassed, and I'm not even a customer. These people are either so fixated on profit that they will speak ill of the dead to bully friends and relatives into sending them money, or they are incapable of setting up effective communications between offices and business practices. Either way, they are not people who deserve your trust in financial dealings.

    I called customer service, and after 70 minutes on hold finally reached someone who said the problem was that 2 checks were sent, so there was an additional tax charge of $300+ for which he had to make an adjustment, which would take 2-3 days, and then the account would be clear. I asked what the deal was with the $12k payoff, and he said to ignore it. I fully expect to receive another statement in a month asking for that $12k plus interest. Even if HFS follows through and corrects the account and mails the title, I am on the hook for at least 2 more weeks of insurance before I can sell the car.

    In April 2021, I called Customer Service to obtain a 2 month extension. This is why: My elderly mom had moved to Florida months prior and since then she contracted COVID-19 in which she was hospitalized and severely ill for a month. Then she was sick again and back into the hospital which lasted another month. Then in April she was back in the hospital due to heart problems in which she had a leaky/gushing heart valve and another that was pinched. Doctors advised that she can no longer live alone and needed someone to live with her. I had to sell my house and move to Florida to be with her and assist in daily functions.

    I called Honda Financial for a two month extension so I can help with my mom’s expenses and then eventually having to move here to help her. I had spoken to Celeste who said she would grant a two month extension considering my circumstances. I received the extension form for only one month …not two … in the mail. I signed it and emailed it to Celeste as requested to the email address she provided. I in fact emailed it to her several times to make sure it was received and I never heard anything back that it wasn’t received… not via phone, nor email nor mail. The email never bounced back so I assumed it went through.

    In May when I logged into my account to make a payment I then realized it stated my account as past due. Since I had emailed the form to Celeste on 5/1/2021, I thought the online account had just not been updated yet. When I checked my account again in June … again it showed that I still owed 2 months. Utterly confused and upset I then called your customer service line again to see what happened. I spoke with Alexis who told me that the form was never received therefore the extension was cancelled. I told Alexis that I have proof that I emailed the form to Celeste to the email she provided several times just to make sure it was received and not gone unnoticed in her inbox. Turns out that Celeste gave me the wrong email address because Alexis saw it in the notes that Celeste gave me the wrong email address.

    Celeste never called me, emailed or mailed to let me know that the form was not received so I assumed everything was fine. While I was highly upset that Celeste gave me the wrong email address and me not knowing the extension was cancelled. Alexis gave me her current manager’s email address and stayed on the phone with me until her manager Whitney received it. While on the phone with Alexis . I was calling from my current phone # in which I told her to update my records in addition to my current mailing address here in Florida and also my preferred email address. I later find out that Alexis did not update my records at all with my new information.

    I recently received notification that my credit rating tanked … my perfect credit ruined. I’ve had perfect credit for over 10 years and now it’s damaged because of the negligence of three of your employees. Once I received this notification that you reported me “late” to credit bureaus … I was highly confused and upset because in talking to Alexis I thought she had “fixed” everything and the extension would be processed and her manager Whitney had confirmed she received the extension form and Whitney would take care of it.

    I called your customer service line yet again to see what happened. I spoke with Becky who has been extremely helpful and should be commended. Becky told me that because I had made the May payment it invalidated/cancelled my granted extension and was not approved although I was told by three employees it would be. Not once did any of them say anything that if I made a payment it would invalidate my extension. I made the May payment thinking the extension was in place not knowing that Alexis nor Whitney had done their job.

    Becky told me that Alexis 'called me' to let me know that the extension was not approved after all because I made the May payment. Alexis did not call me at my current phone # that I gave her . She called my old phone #. I gave Alexis my new phone #, address and preferred email address. I foolishly thought she updated my records with my new information. So I am starting to think that either Alexis is incompetent or just plain not caring to do her job properly. If you have all these recordings you will hear how I gave Alexis my current information. It’s very serious that your employees listen to your customers and not neglect their duty to update your records. I know all this because Becky read me all the notes and confirmed that Celeste nor Alexis did their job. Again either they are incompetent or enjoy sabotaging people’s lives.

    I myself am I senior citizen helping my elderly mother with all her health issues and now having to worry about chasing after Honda employees that do not do their jobs has been very upsetting and then to ruin my perfect credit is beyond reprehensible. I am asking for you to please take off the erroneous “late” payment from all credit bureaus. This was not my doing as stated before … I did my part . Your employees did not. Celeste, Whitney and Alexis were negligent and did not do their job. All of them and their respective trainers/managers should be held accountable for the events that have occurred through no fault of my own.

    I did my part, did what I was told and now I am paying for all of their mistakes. I just checked my account and it STILL shows "late" after me emailing them yet again another extension form. They have yet to respond or acknowledge it. They are an utter disgrace and do not care about people ... only money and ruining people's lives.

I put my payments on easy pay for a reason. I had a payment that got reversed due to “insufficient funds” in December. I didn’t realize this because I have them on auto pay and thought everything had come out also because there has never been insufficient funds and I never received an email. Then I had it happen again in April for the same reason. I did receive an email for that month so I went in to check, I didn’t have insufficient funds once again. So I went on to manually pay it on HFS website and saw that since December a $15 late fee has been accruing every month because it never tried to take the December payment that was reversed out again.

    I have been a month behind on my payments this whole time and didn’t know because I received nothing that expressed that to me and because of the easy pay I don’t go in and check monthly hence the point of EASY pay. I spoke with a very rude woman from customer service who told me to ask my bank about the insufficient funds and that out of the 7 months in late fees, she is only going to refund $50. After telling her that I have been a customer of Honda for years and that never have I had this happen or have I paid a payment late she proceeded to tell me $50 was as much as she could give me. I got no email no phone call about any of these fees accruing and then that’s all she could do. Never am I leasing a Honda again.

Her response is that they aren't sure, that this is something they are kind of dealing with as it goes. I was told corporate would be calling me and I also specified that I do not want to reinstate until I know for sure it will not negatively affect my credit.

    I will never buy another Honda, and their financial services are the main reason. Bought out a lease via another dealer and they charged me $300 fee for paying off the lease early. They then charged me for the taxes on the car I no longer leased even though I faxed them the plate cancellation. Oh, and you have to fax things to them. They won’t take emails. And then when I went to call them to fix it, they were closed despite me calling at 9:15, within their stated business hours. Total Bush league operation. Bought an Audi and am much happier with the customer service.

    American Honda Financial services has Illegally collected a disposition fee ($350) plus tax against the agreement on my lease contract when I already have purchased the leased Honda vehicle through another third party dealership. I leased a 2018 Honda Civic in May 2018. Couple of months in advance before my lease was up, I decided to buy a new Hyundai. And I paid off Honda Financial Services in full Via check to through a dealer. The California Lease agreement clearly mentions under section # 3 that Charges such as disposition or Turn in fee (350$ fee+tax ) will ONLY be applied if I do not purchase the vehicle and return the vehicle itself to Honda dealership.There is no legal right for Honda financial to charge a vehicle disposition fee to cover a car that they no longer own nor have to dispose of. This is highly unethical.

    My lease contract states there is no purchase option fee nor conditions the disposition fee will be incurred in the event of a purchase. The discrepancy between personal and third party payoff is not addressed in the contract. It just says the lessee is the only one that can exercise the purchase option. And I am being illegally charged turn in disposition fee for exercising my purchase option.

    Never LEASE from HONDA!!! American Honda Finance (AHFC) is an unethical business corporation which just tries to steal money from its customers. I leased a new 2018 Honda CRV from a Honda dealer for 3 years, 36k miles. After 2 years I went to a 3rd party dealer (non-Honda) and traded the car in. American Honda Finance (AHFC) charged this turn-in fee of $350 dollars along with the pay-off amount (principal balance remaining which is required to purchase the car as shown in my account). I dont understand why they would charge this turn-in fee when the car was never turned in back to AHFC.

    After the vehicle payoff amount due was paid AHFC should have absolutely no interest in charging anything else. I called them and they never explained why this extra amount of $350 was charged. This is my last Honda lease/purchase ever. I have traded in Subaru, Lexus and never faced this issue with any other big corporation. American Honda is just trying to steal customer's money.

    What happened with me, has left me in complete shock. My lease came to an end mid October. I did not get any communication/reminder of lease maturity. Previously I had a Lexus, I got two letters a month apart. Was expecting the same. Did not happen. I called Honda Finance, inquired about the covid restrictions on returns. I was told to book an appointment to bring my vehicle to any Honda dealership.

    I chose one closest to my work, Dufferin Honda. The day of my appointment, I did a inspection via an app, that updated the results immediately to Honda finance. My vehicle was inspected by my mechanic two days prior to my appointment. I did not want any surprises charges. I was being proactive. My uncle took off the plates while I went into speak with the leasing manager, Sam. My car had gone over in KMs, and so we was going to be charged about $1900, simple math, KMs times by rate per km.

    I asked the leasing manager if he was able to help reduce the overage charges. With covid I lost my job and times are not the greatest, every hundred is needed. He said if he could get someone to but the car, then he could drop the total to $1000. Or so. He proceeded to call the person who could potentially buy my vehicle as as they were in the market for exactly the kinda car I was returning. I waited while he rang this person up. No one answered. He hangs up, says to me, leave your car with me, I’ll connect with them tomorrow and get it done. All I have to do is pay the one thousand to them and we call it a day.

    I agreed but not before I said please do that walk around the car, and do the inspection and give me in writing everything is OK. He went outside, did the walk around, got the keys, the paperwork and made a note for me, he was in possession of the vehicle, and he will let me know in day or so of what next steps is. He said the car looks great. Not a single scratch on it. I said I took care of it, I would have bought it out had covid not taken my job. I’m home. Don’t need a car for anything. Extra expense rather keep my money. He was extremely friendly.

    I get a call from him, was busy at work, didn’t get back to him until the next day. He tells me, the KMs are too much, the buyer doesn’t want it. But he is willing to keep our deal, I pay the overage of $1300 and he will take it off my hands. I asked for $1000 to $1100. He refused. So I asked him to return the vehicle to Honda Canada. He seemed offended I opted to send back the car. How felt the tone change but didn’t think much of it.

    Well. I get a letter from Honda Finance month later, Nov 22nd (I think). Payout invoice of almost $2400. I immediately called Honda. The rep went on to explain the charges. The damages on the left lamp, left rear door repairs not done properly, few more items, missed lease payment, and the overage in KMs. I was in shock. I hung up. I didn’t know what to think, or say.

    I had no damage on my car. The online inspection was perfect. The leasing manager did a walk around and he found nothing. The overage in KMs, but no break like they had offered. (Initially when I called Honda finance - I had explained that I was over in KMs a bit, I was told I will be looked after not to worry). The lease payments came out of my bank each month, automatically, there was no missed payment, they didn’t take the last payment of October out. I wasn’t informed when I Spoke to Honda. No one mentioned the one payment outstanding (as they say). I have been sending emails from Nov 23, each week to Honda Financial Services. I have emailed the Honda Dealership on Dufferin where I dropped my car. Not a single email has been replied to.

    Jan 5, I notice my credit score dropped due to Honda financial hit of late payment. How do I go about and get this corrected? Overall. During that time I had my car. It was a dream. I maintained my vehicle beautifully. Upon communicating with their offices and dealership, I will say, I’m extremely dissatisfied with the customer service. No resolution offered. No one has offered to investigate nor get information required to clear up this situation. Came across this page and decided to write down my ordeal. If anyone can offer any advice, please share.

    I returned a lease in Sept 2019 and bought a brand new car which was also financed by Honda. In Dec 2019 they sent me a collection notice for unpaid property taxes. I ended up trying to resolve it with the tax assessor and they wouldn't discuss the account since it was a lease and titled to Honda. I called Honda and disputed the charges and advised that I returned the car months before. They insisted that I owed the taxes and turned me over to the credit bureau. I have never had a late payment and this was huge, so I ended up paying Honda over $500 to cover the taxes just to get them to fix the mistake on my credit report.

    Now over a year later, I get ANOTHER collection notice with a threat to report me to the credit bureaus. I called Honda and they said that I am still responsible for the balance because I never cancelled the license plates with the county tax assessor. I advised the representative that they had the plates when I returned the vehicle.

    She said they would "consider abating" the charges in 6-8 weeks and that I could call back. I then asked for her supervisor's name and she refused to give that to me. Her response was "that is not necessary". I disagreed and asked again and she refused to provide a name and then offered to transfer me. I agreed and after being on hold for some time, she came back on the line and told me nobody was available and offered to put me on a call back list. This has been an absolutely unacceptable experience and has completely soured me on ever doing business with Honda again. I suggest you consider this as a warning.

    Honda Financial deducted a $365 auto-payment from my joint checking account 10 days after I turned in a vehicle my deceased husband leased. I requested a refund by phone as well as by certified mail to Honda Financial Services Director. Their "Customer Service" reps told me they cannot discuss the account with me because I am not the power of attorney. The DIRECTOR did not respond to the certified mail I sent 20 days ago.

    Requiring a power of attorney to refund an overpayment from my own checking account is ludicrous. My deceased husband leased the vehicle and authorized auto-payments from our joint checking account. Honda deducted a September payment when the vehicle was in their possession in August. It seemed reasonable to me that they would just refund the overpayment. Yet, the useless"Customer Service" rep I spoke with today refused to tell me anything. After waiting 90 minutes to talk to her, the only thing she told me is her first name, her job title and that she could not discuss the account with me because I don't have power of attorney.

    Updated on 06/15/2020: I leased a 2016 Honda 2016 on 02/06/2017. I liked the car so I went to White Plains Honda to trade in my 2016 CRV and lease a 2019 CRV. During the lease process I was told by the dealer that they will take care of the remaining of 2016 CRV lease fee, seeing as I'm trading the car in. Since the agreement was made verbally and I'm a trusting customer, I never checked if it was included anywhere in the new contract lease (my mistake to trust a dealer). So, I left my 2016 CRV at the dealership and drove away with my new 2019 CRV. Now, the Honda Financial Service is coming in with its ways to pocket more money for their Christmas bonuses. Honda Financial Services wants me to pay two lease fees: one for 2016 CRV (which is in Honda's possession) and on 2019 CRV (which I pay for and drive).

    Now, let's suppose Honda already leased the same 2016 CRV and is collecting a lease fee from the new lease. Collecting a fee from me also for the same period of time, aren't they "double dipping"? Or even just plain milking money? Shouldn't there be a provision that when a loyal customer leases a car from the same car manufacturer, trading in the old, the new lease contract should waive or take over the old lease contract? The service representative with whom I spoke was not willing to help and had no knowledge. She was just kept repeating "You signed a contract, you need to pay." Shame on you Honda Financial Service for disrespecting your customers this way!

    Now, to show even farther Honda Financial Services greed and lack of care for its customers, I am going to report another despicable way for making more and more money in these times when, since 03/14/2020 people were ordered to stay home by governor Cuomo because Coronavirus. I was not sure if I could pay my bills, so I contacted the companies that bill me and told them know that I will make partial or no payments. The customer service from HFS was helpful telling me that I don't have to pay until 06/15/2020, but now I've received 2 bills from HFS charging me a late fee! I'm attaching the two documents. I called HFS again and I was told by a rude agent named Alex "the supervisors have no time to go online". They can't be bothered to talk to a customer.

    Original Review: I leased a 2019 CRV on 31/12/19. Previously, I leased a 2016 CRV with the lease ending on 6/3/20. The dealer, White Plains Honda, verbally agreed to pay the remaining of the lease fee. Now, after I sign the lease, they refused. HFS is forcing me to pay at the same time two lease fees. Is this not pure greed and no consideration/care for their customers? If HFS would be willing to work with me they will cancel the lease fee for 2016 CRV. Honda has the car now.

I promptly called HFS to give them my account information so that I could re-register in automatic account deductions.

A few weeks later, I receive a call from Honda Financial Services telling me that I am delinquent on my account and that they need payment for two months worth of charges immediately.

    The customer service representative took down my account information for auto-pay incorrectly. I have never missed a payment on a student loan, car, or personal credit card and take my credit health incredibly seriously. I immediately gave them my payment information again, and asked if there was anything they could do to help me remove the delinquency from my record, as the delinquency was a direct result of their customer service representative not taking my bank account information down correctly. They refused saying it was my responsibility for not noticing the payment wasn't taken out of my account.

    I could never in good conscience recommend that another person finance through Honda. Their customer service was disorganized, careless, and downright reckless with my credit, bank account information and credit health. If you decide to finance through Honda, make sure you take proper steps to monitor that payments are actually deducted from your account in a timely manner, as they are incapable of doing so as a lender.

This time they did not set up automatic payment, and caused the first payment to be paid late which dropped my credit score from 850 on the day I leased the vehicle to 729. When I called Honda Financial Service about this, they said there was nothing they could do because it was my responsibility. I would recommend to anyone that they not deal with this organization. They are not concerned about their customers, even long-standing ones.

    For almost 3 years I never had a late payment. Not once. I have Lupus and this time it attacked my Kidneys. I was down and out of state for 4 months, trusting my Fiance (Ex) that he was taking care of all bills... Including my car which is the lifeline to care for my children. When I returned home I found my account emptied and nothing paid, I am nearing homelessness as of now.

    I contacted Honda and made a payment immediately, and made a payment. I told them I would be paying again very soon, gathered enough to move my account up to date and was to pay on the 6th of this (three weeks later) month in FULL. On the 3rd I woke up to take my daughter to school to a missing car which we thought was stolen... Crying, calling the police, to find Honda let me make that payment and still took my vehicle, when I had no idea why account was past due, to begin with. I tried to pay all that I had owed and bring it up to date. Crystal (the Superstar) informed me that I had no option to keep my car unless I could provide $16000 when my total remainder was only 12000???? No remorse. I have had Hondas my entire life, I have felt they were a decent and family company. I will never contribute another dollar to Honda. Thank you for ruining our lives and not accepting the amount I had owed.

I paid off my brand new Honda in 6 months with a 6-year finance plan. I was told that I would get the title in 2 weeks.

    I really hate to do this but this is ridiculous! I dont know how they do not have a class action lawsuit on their hands with all the fees they charge you with make believe fees for insufficient funds meanwhile the money had been sitting there all week. I spoke to a customer service representative today that had no idea of what I was talking about and did not know how to help me. Now, know this. I am extremely patient when it comes to the reps because they have a lot of work, but what I do not have patience for is total incompetence. He was very combative with me when I brought up the insufficient funds fee I was charged this morning on my account which he didn't even have the info for. He stated that the bank must've charged me. I said, "No it says Honda financial services."

    I was also trying to resolve the balance I owed by doing a fast pay which he just told me to set up an auto pay from my bank account. Doing a payment from my bank account takes about a week for the funds to be withdrawn. I wanted to pay the amount I owed which was a larger payment than I had paid previously but I didn't want to get charged for the amount I had already paid that was never withdrawn from my account, this he did not understand. After about 3 or 4 times explaining this to him he said..."mam, you do not need to use that language with me!" I said what? then hung up.

    All I wanted to do is pay what I owe. They took away the button for me to pay online so now I have to call customer service hence the reason why I went through this! Stop trying to get people to use your customer service line for payments that can be done online, Also, train your reps better! Finally, stop charging make believe fees to people who just want to pay their bills.. It's not our fault your billing department isn't processing this on time!

    We are on our 7th Acura and 8th Honda product. Never had a problem with HF. Get the contract, get the car, pay it off....in and out. In November Honda Finance lowered the amount of my current contract on Experian. Evidently regulations changed and the sales tax can't be posted as part of the total loan amount. Experian picks this up as HF reducing my credit limit by $2500. That's dumb. But this is Experian and anything is possible.

    At this rate I will pay off the contract 5 months before the last payment. Worse, Experian shows this event as a NEGATIVE and my FICO was dinged 15 points. I filed a dispute with Experian explaining the principle of Credit Reporting 101: A loan amount is not a credit limit. Loans are not revolving charge accounts. We don't buy groceries and furniture at Acura. The amount of the original loan does not change in fact. The balance changes. Experian denied the dispute. WHAT!? Their line is that they can only report information from lenders.

    Emailed HF Customer Care and received an email that I should basically go back to my dealer, which has nothing to do with it. I had called the dealer, never heard back and I told Customer Care that, as well. Now, how many loans does Honda have outstanding at any given time? A million or more? The tsunami of lowered "credit lines" from Honda didn't trigger anything at Experian. They don't care. Clearly Honda Finance doesn't know you until you want to buy a car or miss a payment...Then they CARE. The whole thing would be inconsequential IF....Honda SALES and FINANCING are predicate on CREDIT SCORES.

The customer service reps are rude, very argumentative, will try to get in your personal business by asking too many and extremely personalized questions that’s not ethical, and they will talk to you like you’re stupid, if you’re late on a payment.

I am making payments on the principal, and the late fees as well. So, I don’t appreciate the poor customer service when all I am doing is is making my payments, or asking questions regarding my end of contact since this is my first time paying off something in my name.

End result, the Honda policies or practices have penalized me by reducing my Credit Rating.

    My 2nd issue with Honda Financial Services is my monthly lease payment. I've been waiting for a notice via mail or email that my next payment is due. The first payment was included in my downpayment. I just got a letter in the mail stating I am 2 months behind in my payments! And I've been penalized with 2 months of late payments.

We paid all our payments from our side and car is paid off by the dealer. But our account is not closed. I called Acura Financial Services and find out that they want to charge an extra fee, which they call Vehicle Turn-in Fee of $350+tax, which is $404.50. The lease contract states that if I don’t purchase the vehicle I owe the $350 fee. No question there.

    My question and frustration is the fact that the vehicle is being purchased not turned back to Acura to sell as used car. It shouldn’t matter whether I pay out of my own pocket, get a loan from a bank, or have the dealership pay the car off on my behalf. The official lease contract says that Turn-in Fee will be charged "if I do not purchase the Vehicle".

    After Honda Financial said they would charge a small fortune at lease end we checked with our local collision shop for a repair estimate. They thought the damage was so insignificant and Honda was being totally unreasonable to even consider it damage, they repainted both bumpers for FREE. Now that is customer service and the way to get lifetime business. On the other hand, after five Honda's we have decided this was our last Honda experience due to detailing with Honda Financial leasing - they just lost a customer who had not purchased anything but Hondas since 2003.

    The loan was at a very low rate and very easy to set up and pay. Depending on your credit history you can do very well with a Honda loan and not have to put too much out of your pocket. If you take loan during sales event you will do better with prices and don't take the extended warranty as all Honda dealers sell this for different rates. Shop around in different states for the warranty. No matter where you get your Honda warranty it covers your Honda.

    The application process was pretty straightforward. But customer service is not 24 by 7 and works only weekdays. Any changes that need to be made if the dealership entered the wrong data you have to actually write a letter, notarize it and then send it to customer service for them to make any updates. Pretty frustrating to have to do such extra work because of someone else error. There is no fax or email, just snail mail.

    We got a fantastic rate through Honda (0.99!). The process was easy and it’s easy to pay each month. We just set up payments to be taken out so we don’t have to worry about missing a payment. Of course it helps if you have a good credit score. My credit score is in the 99th percentile, so that made things easy.

    UNTRUSTWORTHY, RUDE, UNPROFESSIONAL - I turned in my second lease with Honda Financial and leased a third car for my daughter. I had $1000 wear and tear allowance for any damage on my car. After inspecting the car the dealership said the $1000 would cover the damage. One of the tires was balding and the qtr panel had a dent. They charged me 300 a tire and 700 for the qtr panel and sent me a bill for 360. The finance employee at the dealership said the tires cost 100 each and the qtr panel no more than 300. They were absolutely RUDE on the phone and threatened to send me to collections. I have never missed a payment for 6 years. They are the worst people in the industry.

    I had a perfect credit score and have had other loans with zero problems prior to dealing with Honda Financial. This is literally the most difficult company to pay that I have ever experienced. We have money to pay them, but we simply cannot get them to accept payments. I would recommend applying for a bank loan and just go into Honda with your bank loan and skip dealing with Honda Financial. No matter how good they make the offer seem, you risk late payment fees, headaches, customer service that doesn’t care or solve problems, and you risk lowering your credit score. Problems include:

    1. Customer service hours only 9 am - 5 pm, tho their sales and service hours for their cars start at 6 am. Very difficult for me to call during these hours when I am supposed to be working.

    2. One hour wait time to get a live rep.

    3. Erroneous “thank you for your payment” emails when payment did not go through. The statements also look weird, saying “Thank you for your payment” on one line and then the another line appears and says “Payment Reversal” - no other explanations. My husband tried to set up autopay twice. Why is it so difficult? He previously had autopay on a Honda lease and had no issues. Where was the customer service agent to help walk him through the setup? When I called them to ask them to help him, instead of saying “Sure, we would be happy to take that info over the phone, they instead suggested we call in every month to give a debit card number and pay a $4.50 fee” - why would we do that when we can pay free autopay if we can get it set up? Why does Honda Financial feel no obligation to help its customer get set up on a fee-free payment track, especially since they are already making money with interest off the loan?

    4. They put my husband and I on the loan yet will only allow one login to the account. So even though I am on the loan and responsible for it, and they try to encourage you to go online to check your account details, I cannot access my account info online with just my account number and

    my personal info. It’s ridiculous.

    5. No one explained or communicated to us until 8 payment periods later, that not one single autopay payment had worked. How is this possible? It’s absolutely ridiculous. They said they called to tell us we were late paying, but because their system was sending confirmation emails that they had received our payments, it was totally confusing.

    Next time, I will get a bank loan. My bank is open early, the customer service reps answer the phones right away, and they offer a million ways to help. They never say “Go to Western Union and pay a fee to send a payment to us.” Or “Yes you can use your debit card to make a payment. That will be $5.”

    So after making on time payments for about a year, there was an issue with setting up auto-pay for a new account I established when I moved. Although I had added the new account information by phone with the Honda representative, apparently you still need to log into their website and approve it, it cannot fully be done by phone.

    So, while I was traveling outside the country for work, the auto-pay did not go through. I did not find out that was the case until I returned back to the States, and despite that I resolved it immediately and paid in full as soon as I found out, the Honda representative said there is nothing they can do and reported it to TransUnion. My credit dropped 100 points over this and now I can no longer take out a mortgage on my dream home. I'm so disappointed as I thought Honda would have treated customers better than this, but they did not seem to care at all. After having Hondas for decades, I will never finance a car with Honda again.

    After improving my credit and searching for the best deal, I decided to buy a brand new Honda Accord back in 2014. I was pre-approved walking in the door but, the dealer was able to get me a better interest rate with AHFC, aka Honda Financial Services. I decided to take the deal and here I find myself in 2019, at the end of my loan. However, as happens, life happened. My flood insurance (I live on the Gulf Coast) is now due and it HAS to be paid, prior to the start of hurricane season. I am literally 1.5 payments away from paying off the car.

    Well, guess what, there was more month than money and the bills keep rolling in. I wanted to have Honda hold off on my current payment (with the aid of an extension) and I was willing to give them half of the payoff amount to preserve my credit and buy the insurance, at the same time. I spoke to a person two days ago who had difficulty understanding what goal I was trying to achieve and told me she needed a good enough reason to attach to the request. When I told her the reason, she asked "Is that it?". I assumed that meant, was the $600 insurance payment the only thing that was keeping me from making a payment. I was baffled and said, "Yes, that's it". She told me she didn't know if that reason would cut it but, she would submit the application anyway.

    She promised to give me a call with the results and here we are, two days later and nada. So, I called back to find out the results and I was told by another rep. that it was denied because of two previous extension in '14 or '15. If memory serves, I think those happened because of a job switch and pay date changes. That's right 2 out of 58.5 consistent payments were extended. A whopping 3.42% of my total payments to pay off the car. When the rep. was explaining the denial, she spoke to me as if I had the IQ of a gnat, repeating the same thing over and again. I stopped her and told her, as a person very familiar with math, she could spare me the reprimand. I asked to vent my displeasure to a supervisor and, of course, no one was available (novel). She offered a callback with a nebulous "tomorrow or one-to-two business day" window and I told her she could cancel a callback.

    What I needed was a corporate entity to sympathize with a little guy who wanted to save his home in case of possible natural disaster. However, AHFC deemed that getting one payment 21 days later than expected didn't rise to the level of being "enough" to warrant helping out a loyal customer.

When I came back from a trip abroad on March 16, I had a difficult time creating a new account online with Honda/Acura Financials which handles lease monthly payments. It turned out, my account on the old ILX was still open and showing a "past due payment". So, I called the dealership where I got the new car and told them of the situation and that my credit score had gone down 10 points and again 5 points, and they apologized and told me that they will call Honda/Acura Financials to straighten things out that my ILX account should have no due amount and should be closed.

    I checked my account again at the end of March and it was same status -- showed past due account on ILX, and new monthly dues for TLX. Since I got the ILX, I have been sending auto monthly payments online through my bank checking account. And today is April 23, 2019 and I checked my account again and it shows my old ILX account is closed with 0 balance due BUT my new TLX has a past due account for last month!

I asked if I had any options out of the lease due to loss of employment I was told no. I assumed I was the first person ever to lose employment while leasing an auto based on the response.

    I became physically ill with stress trying not to become homeless while trying to honor an almost $500 month car payment. I struggled every month. Some months I fell behind 2 months but always caught up. Honda took it upon themselves to write a letter about my situation. Had it deliver to my residence. There was no one present at the residence. The letter was TAPED to my front door for all the residents coming and going to see. I rented out rooms to help with securing funds to help with car payment.

    My privacy was violated. Honda states it takes their clients' personal information seriously. However that did NOT include me. My renters now knew my private personal information. I called Honda to protest violation of my privacy (I taped that call) asking why was this done. I called Honda on the lease termination date of 4/12/19 asking for a total of what is due to end my misery and to relief my stress and anxiety. I was given a total amount I struggled to pay it.

    The associate at the dealership asked me if I would like to lease another. I said I need a car but Honda has been very unkind to me during my ordeal. I don’t think they will give me another so Honda said NO to another lease. However today they want an additional $350 for turning the lease auto. Honda Financial has made my life’s journey worse by the lack of compassion. I will NOT pay another dime to this company. I was demeaned, humiliated by Honda’s action by placing my private info in PUBLIC view. I am disgusted by Honda Financial Services.

    I’ve owned four Hondas since 2005. I was fortunate enough to have all my cars paid in full until I purchased my 2017 Civic and had no choice but to finance with Honda Financial. I regret for not doing my research on Honda Financial prior to signing my life away for 60 months. I put down a 10,000 dollar deposit on my car. That was my first mistake but I desperately needed a vehicle. I will admit I was late on my payments but I always got caught up on my payments and paid extra for my late fees when I had the extra money. Honda Financial started locking me out of my account to make payments online forcing me to send the money directly from MoneyGram.

    June 2018 Honda Financial stopped calling my personal cellphone and decided to harass me at work. I calmly told the representative that I would be making a payment by mail within the next day or two. I explained to her that I’ve been having issues with my heart. I asked if they would unblock my account so I could make a payment online to get my account in good standing. I was told, "NO YOU MUST GO TO A MONEYGRAM RIGHT NOW BECAUSE WE'RE COMING TO REPOSSESS THE VEHICLE!" I told her fine I’ll go to the nearest MoneyGram and make a payment as soon as I get off from work because I don’t want to piss away a 10,000 downpayment plus all the other money I’ve paid on this vehicle. I can’t remember her exact words after I said what I said but it wasn’t nice and very unprofessional.

    After getting off the phone 15 minutes later I was very politely asked by my manager to refrain from any personal calls. I went to go make a payment at a MoneyGram close to my work and unfortunately MoneyGram was down and that it’ll be up and working tomorrow. I tried to contact Honda to let them know but go figure they were closed.

    9 am the next day I get a call yet again at work this time from a repo agency to pick up my car. I told them that they were not allowed to call me at work and that as soon as I took my lunch before going to the doctors I would be sending a payment from MoneyGram. I left work shaking because this woman was coming to get my car after I told the ruthless woman from Honda not even 16 hours ago I would be making a payment. I made the payment immediately to Honda and called to let them know that the payment was sent and directly told them, "DO NOT CALL ME ON MY WORK PHONE!" "Oh we never called you at work but I’ll put it in your notes!"

    Going forward Honda still kept my account locked from making any payments online forcing me to send payments with MoneyGram and having to pay a extra $8.00 because of their lack of customer services. November 2018 after I had already paid my car note through MoneyGram I get another call at my work from a repo agency because Honda didn’t post my payment to my account yet again.

    January I made my payment with MoneyGram. On the 23 Honda reported my payment as late and didn’t post it on my account until the 28th - literally 5 days later. Honda finally repossessed my car after I was told that I could have extra time to pay off all my late fees. They hired probably the worst company in the state of Louisiana. No knock on the door so I could at least get my personal belongings including medication for my heart and other medication that I’m required to take on a daily basis.

    I have a 3 year lease with Honda Financial and have paid on time for 2.5 years. I have automatic payments so I never really worry about the payment - I see it come out in my bank statement and all is well. Well, apparently in the summer - August & September, there was an issue with my bank account and Honda attempted to remove the funds unsuccessfully both months - causing two $20 reversed payment fees and two $18 late fees. The payments for October, November & December all came out on time & automatically, as normal.

    It wasn't until a couple days ago when my husband noticed that Honda dinged his credit for 2 missed payments. I said what?! It's been coming out every month automatically for years. So I looked online and I had a bill for both Aug & Sep payments, two $20 reversal fees and now FOUR $18 late fees. I paid the bill immediately to stop the delinquency. So I called today and asked that, since I've been a loyal customer with 2.5 years of on-time payments, and this was an honest mistake, if they could waive my late fees & reversal of funds fees. I also questioned why there were FOUR late fees for only TWO missed payments. Further, I questioned why I never received phone calls regarding these missed payments, since it's obviously not a normal habit of mine.

    They had the wrong phones numbers on file (great, my husband never updated them, so that is our fault). Then the lady persisted that they could not credit my account since I already paid the late fees & reversal fees. I'm like are you SERIOUS!? This is 2019. There's DEFINITELY a way to credit my account. I spent 45 minutes on the phone with them and lost the battle. They are not helping me out with these fees.

    I understand that I should have been more diligent and checked my statements despite having 2.5 years of automatic, uneventful payments made to Honda Financial. It's still my responsibility to ensure that all is going smoothly. I understand that, but I obviously made a mistake and didn't know that these payments weren't made for months! I expected them to be more helpful, being that we've never had a missed or late payment for 2.5 years. Next step, disputing this with the credit bureaus. In the meantime, I will never use Honda Financial again and I will discourage everyone I know from doing so.

    I've been using Honda Finance for the past 17 years and over 7 cars. There has never been a problem until I traded in for a Nissan this time. So the Nissan dealer sent the payoff check on 10/2/18 by overnight mail. UPS documents prove it was received on 10/4/18. Honda still drew my monthly payment from my bank. I figured it was a timing issue and it would be refunded. When November rolled around and I continued to get billing statements, I called to see why.

    Customer service rep was very helpful. He said there had been numerous errors and problems for the month of October in that department and he would initiate an investigation. I felt better but advised I couldn't afford to make 2 car payments for the civic and the new Nissan. He advised to stop the autodraft because I had 30 days before there would be a negative report made and the issue would be resolved by then.

    November 26 rolls around and I am notified by collections that I'm 21 days late on payment. I explained again the situation, provided the UPS tracking number for the payment, gave the check number of the payoff check and the name, date and time of the person at Honda who received the payment. I was told to make the payment because they had not received the check. This woman was either not listening to me or was not intelligent enough to grasp that I had proof the payment was received. I requested to speak to a supervisor and was told she would put in a request and be contacted within 48 hours.

    3 days go by and no callback. I called collections again and explained the circumstances- AGAIN. This woman told me I was responsible for the payment, they never received a check and could I prove that it was cashed by Honda. Well no, I have no knowledge of the check status except that it was received and documented as received so I know it is in the possession of Honda. "We have no record of that and the check wasn't received." Are you not at all concerned about what happened to a $12,000 check that is documented to be in Honda's possession? Circular, non-answers. so I requested a supervisor. I was refused access to a supervisor. She said the notes said the response was firm and I would be told the same thing by a supervisor so no, a supervisor won't call me back. But would I like to speak to one now? Yes indeed. Transferred to a dead line with no voice mail.

    Called back. Requested the number for the payoff department. Put on hold for 15 minutes and was eventually told- the payoff department has no phone number but I can fax my documents to the payoff department for review. No, there is nobody specific, just fax it over and someone will magically know what it pertains to. Gave me a Region 1 fax number (didn't learn that 'til later). I requested another call back from a supervisor so I could lodge a complaint about the lack of customer service and was told the request was made. So off went the fax.

    11/30 - I called the main customer service line. The woman was pleasant, helpful, concerned. Found out the fax number I was given was not the payoff department but the fax number to collections. Wonder what happened to that fax? This rep was really helpful. She verified my info was already in the computer, that there had been a problematic number of issues in October with payoffs getting accounted for and I should have the Nissan dealer issue a stop payment on the check and have them send it in the same amount and any refund due would come to me. She personally would call me on Monday to get a status update. So thank you to the actual customer service department and not the collections. They never understood that I am not responsible when they are holding the payoff check. I will not deal with them ever again.

    I purchased a Honda Pilot in June 2011 and am almost done paying for it. I paid the car on time until my son's jaw was broken and I had to take time out from work. He had to have emergency surgery and I called Honda explaining to them that I might be late on the next payment because I was on FMLA. The lady told me it would be fine and that I was a great customer and was never late and not to worry. The next month my credit score dropped 60 points because they reported me late. I tried to get a goodwill adjustment because I had NEVER been late out of the 4 years I had the SUV only for them to tell me they had to report correctly to the credit bureau.

    I began to write letters and sent documentation only for them to now falsely report that I had been 60 days behind. I was furious. I called in and spoke to 3 different people and was advised they would fix the incorrect report, but the other one had to stay. I felt that since they messed my credit up even more they could have extended a goodwill gesture and took away the other one as well. They screwed me over twice. I hate this company and will not buy another vehicle nor will I accept HFS financing. Hopefully the more people that report these inhumane practices will cause them to train their employees on empathy.

    My entire life I only bought Hondas and been a customer with Honda for 10 years plus. My last 3 cars is when I noticed Honda steals money from your finance and your lease! I have zero APR and yet my payment every month should decrease the actual price you receive but it doesn't go decrease the exact amount you pay! There is always 25-30 added to the original balance which they steal that from you and rob you. I actually got a job at a dealer just to see how their system works and they steal the ** out of you and you have no idea what's going on. My last car they played me and I was in a very bad spot and wasn't thinking but they lied to me and they played me and they overcharged me. They traded my 2015 Civic with a 2017 HR-V and they sold the car with trade in as 31k value when the car is worth 24k. They charged me 7k extra back in March 2017.

    I don't want the car anymore as from when I got it from the dealer. I had issues with it and they are refusing to take it back and they will only pay me 16K for the car and expecting me to pay the rest out of pocket. I have 24k left to pay off the car and I have to pay 8k to get out of this lease. No one will do anything about this more. They will waive some fees to help out and they are straight up **!!! Out of nowhere now they increased my monthly payment by $20 and when I talked to a manager at Honda financial services he claims that $20 is taxes but yet my base pay is 455 and taxes is 18.96 so I end up paying 474.06 and yet no way new charges is 492 and some change so they are doubling the tax payment and pocketing that money. And on top of that once you make a payment they increase the original amount by 20-30 dollars or more so they are stealing from each customer $50 a month. So look at how many billions they made stealing from customers!

    They are a bunch of liars and hypocrites and right now they have 2 options! Either take this car back and we are even and no one owes anyone anything or I will contact my lawyer for violating the lease agreement and stealing from me. And I will sue Honda for 1 Billion Dollars for the headaches and damages and stress you caused me for the past 6-7 years that I been dealing with you about this mess! I will never own or buy a Honda in my life if this situation is not fixed and on top of that my cousin works for a huge media channel and I will give them my story and end Hondas reputation. So either fix this issue or good luck losing billions in lawsuits and losing trillions of customers.

    I have used Honda Financial Services in the past with no complaints. This time I only used Honda Financial Services to take advantage of their $500 Military Appreciation Offer which was only available through their financing. So the following amounts were basically deducted from their Appreciation amount ($20 to finance, daily interest from the date of purchase which I worked to be able to pay off at the earliest point in time equaled $67.24 = $87.24). If I waited until they sent me my first statement the amount would have been greater based my financing rate which = $3.20 a day. Overall I am not feeling Honda's appreciation. My intent was always to pay off the total amount. However, their process takes longer than it really should which cost myself and others in a similar situation any additional savings.

    Honda Financial Services' way of doing business is to report your late payments to the credit bureaus. Do not do business with their financial services. Take your business to a credit union where the people are real human beings and don’t take individuals hard earnings over 1 late payment, in addition to recording late payments that will cause a bad credit rating and low credit scores.

    For almost 3 years I have been making lease payments, per contract, and always on time. I finally checked my statements and found out that they charged me a $15.00 monthly late payment fee. Not once was I late. They never even send me an invoice or notification... those greedy ** made an extra 15.00 a month... I call this fraud.

    In Dec 2017 I was hospitalized and became delinquent on my account. I informed that of my situation and they understood and worked with me. The credit manager stated they could move my payments to the end of my contract and there would be no late charge nor reported on my credit history, which I gladly agreed to and signed the appropriate document. Now the delinquency show up on my credit report which I was told this morning that it could not be removed that it was Federal law. I have been with Honda for over 15 years and never been late, but go in the hospital and they treat me like this.

    The "national recovery services" of Honda is a joke. It is an insult to desperate situations. The incessant contacts start 1 year before the lease is up and never stops... Because of this org we will never even consider another Honda....noisy ** car.

    I'm currently moving from NY to NC. I needed a power of attorney form and a copy of my title. They said it would take up to 3 weeks! Meanwhile my bf was able to get his emailed to him from Nissan within minutes. I called back and asked them if there was any way they could do that for me and they assured me they could not because the titles are in California. I then asked if they can send me an email stating that I am currently in the process of switching and it would take 2-3 weeks for my car insurance. The guy then said they do not have an outgoing email. My insurance company wants a copy of my new registration from NC in 5 days... Now I have no idea what to tell them. Getting a Nissan when this lease is up!!!

    I have never had a good experience with Honda. I am still traumatized by one call I had with a representative. She was ruthless and had no empathy, I had just lost my job, wasn't able to pay my car payment and instead of good customer service she told me and I will never forget what she said "maybe you should of bought such a luxury car." Not only was she out of line I HAVE A FREAKING HONDA CIVIC. In whose right mind is that luxury.

    More recently I am trying to fix my credit to buy a house. Is the past not so good being on time with my payments, now I have been on time. This past month they send a late payment to the credit bureau WHEN I PAID ON TIME so now I'm thinking the past late payments to my credit are not accurate, all in all HONDA FINANCIAL SUCK, will continue buying Honda, refuse to work with Honda Financial in the future.

    I made an error in setting up my car lease payments from my bank to my checking account when I began my lease. Even though my payments were all made on time and Honda Financial Services had taken the money from my checking account, the payments were not applied to my Honda Financial Services account because of the erroneous account number. I received no written or verbal notification that there was any problem and, as a result my car was taken from my driveway while I was away on vacation. I immediately researched my payments with my bank and called HFS.

    Despite the fact that Honda Financial Services fully realized it was an honest mistake, and that the payments had been made on time, they have absolutely refused to remove a $509 charge to my account or to reimburse me for the $290 I paid for an illegal towing from my driveway. I have sent certified letters that have been ignored and all telephone requests have been denied. I am a 70-year old woman who is absolutely shocked and dismayed at such reprehensible business practices. I have had no choice but to pay the fees involved I order to buy out the lease. This is all, quite simply wrong!
