    They harass you before the payment is even due, they don’t care that you're having financial issues due to health, they say “It’s feasible for you to make the payment by now” like they know your finances and life. And Nita is EXTREMELY ignorant.

    They are predators. I was desperate and didn't do my research and I have regretted it. Ask yourself why are they so willing to help people with bad credit? I can assure you it's not because of their generous heart. They are the car loan version of a payday loan place. If they are your only option for a car loan, please take the bus. You will be glad you did.

    I had to file Chp 13 in 2019 after my Mom passed way to cover expenses including surrendering my beloved Mustang back to Ford. Fast forward to 2020. I needed a car because I was relocating to another state. Welcome Prestige. I bought a 2020 Camaro at 17%. Note: I didn’t want this car but it was the only manual on the lot. I was desperate so I took the car. Payment was well over $600. Note: before this I was a loyal Ford customer for 25 yrs!!!! Never had an interest rate over 8%…. Anywho, I had to refile my case in my new state and it got ugly. 4 yrs later they are saying I owe 38k on this vehicle that is worth 17k. SO… I decided to take money out of my retirement and pay cash for a car. I will be surrendering this vehicle at the end of the month. The joy of not having a payment AND buying the car that I always wanted is a great feeling. This will be the very first time in my life that I will not have a car payment.

    I didn’t have issues with Prestige and payments, they were pretty flexible at times when I needed it… The issue is charging high finance rates for people who are trying to rebuild is just not fair. I offered to buy the car with cash but they refused to come down on price. Everyone hits a bump but the system is not designed to help, it’s designed to keep people in debt. Lesson learned: I will revive my relationship with Ford at some point… THEY were good to me and I took that relationship for granted. I have enjoyed driving that Camaro.. This car has been good to me. I will miss it BUT Until then I am going to enjoy the freedom of finally owning my own car!

    I have had this car for over a year and the price has not changed at all. It has not budged but yet they call you 24/7. They have overcharged me 16k for a 2015 and the 400 monthly car note. Carlot is no longer in business. I will never deal with them again. See if I can get the state police involved.

    I needed a car after surrendering the vehicle I had in a Chapter 7 bankruptcy and I went to Larry H Miller Volkswagen in Avondale Arizona and they did the bait and switch on the vehicle that I wanted but I had surrendered my vehicle at the dealership and they put me into a new vehicle with Prestige Financial. In the past 3 years on a $30,000 contract I paid $15,000 and I still owe $28,000. I've only paid off $3,000 on the loan out of the $15,000 I've given them and now they're saying my car is only worth $12,500 if I voluntarily surrender the vehicle so it's best that I keep the vehicle and just Friday get out from underneath it but dealing with this company at 13.5% is a horrible horrible choice I made and I thought they were helping me out not throwing me under the bus.

    NEVER agree to use them. I like most that desperately needed a car was financed by them. When I saw the price of 21,000 on my contract, I thought that included financing. It did not. Of the $500 monthly car note I pay, only $136 goes to the principal! You live and learn. This company and others prey on your desperate situation.

    I can say when I needed a vehicle prestige came through, however, it came with a price. I felt like I sold my soul to the devil. I should have never agreed to a 500 hundred plus dollars car payment, now that I'm having hardship and still making weekly payments it's still an issue. And it's all always the one customer service representative that's has to be that one that you wish would leave the company and find another job. Like Tony. He always give me the hardest time like for real. All this over 150 dollars. So I was on a payment plan somehow I was told my bank asked for the money back. Well I checked. Prestige have a bad habit of charging your account several times. Well in this case they did.

    I guess my bank asked the 150 back. I made another payment of 200 after that. Now I have another payment coming up again of 200 this week. Prestige is denying the payment due to they want 150 returned by my bank but it's not showing in my bank system yet so now since then prestige wants the full balance of the vehicle of 20 thousand in ten days. Wow.

    This company is absolutely terrible and blatantly violates numerous consumer protection laws regarding debt. I am currently in the process of consulting with an attorney to pursue legal action. They sold me a vehicle without disclosing that it had been in two major accidents and had frame damage. When I demanded they take the vehicle back, they refused, stating it wasn’t financially viable for them. I've already had to replace two engines, and at this point, it's simply not worth investing any more money into this car. Run far far away!!

    I filed for bankruptcy and nobody else can take me. Prestige took me. I am not gonna lie. The first 2 month was frustrating for me. I lost my job and then I was behind on two payment. After the 1 day I missed a payment I started receiving calls, text and emails. I knew it was them. I ignored the calls, barely look at the emails and didn’t even bother to read the text. I then got a new job and on my third month of owning the car I finally called to make a payment to bring my account current. I was really upset to find out that those first 3 month I didn’t make a payment that I was about to pay to close those payment. Not one single penny go to the principal. All went to Interest. Then I was educated on how their interest system world and how important it is to make my payment on time.

    Anyways after that frustrating start. I made my payments 1 week early for the next 14 month. And now I have been making a lot of payment toward my principal and lower my interest reduction rate. Due to making payment on time. I realize in the comment sections here that all mostly terrible payment people that don’t make payment on time and blame this amazing company that help me get a car when nobody else can. All the weight and responsibility is on the customer. People pay your dues on time or earlier if you want to improve your credit score and build your life back together. Stop blaming everyone else when you are the one putting yourself where you are. The contract we sign is still the same. They tell us multiple times that if we don’t pay on time or make minimum payment it will only extended our contract. Learn to take responsibility and move forward!

They set me up with Prestige for my new car loan, I was desperate, I signed the documents which is my bad and on me. But now I'm stuck making ridiculous payments and my principal never going down, I think I'm worse off now than I was during bankruptcy. This payment is killing me. They won't refinance.

    Purchased a car from this company. They put a black box on my car so that they cut it off if payment has not been received at the proper time. They told me that since the car is paid off I will have to have the box removed myself. And they sent the info to do as such. Because they didn’t have access to send anyone out to do it. How is that when they have access to cut it off & on? It cost me over 500.00 to have this box removed. They gave me a bogus email address for me to send my invoices for my inconvenience. Don’t do business with this company.

    Was sent an email by credit reporting rep and it was submitted in error by Equifax. Rep said it should be resolved soon. I have no other complaints about this company, they provided financing for me when nobody else would.

    Original Review: May 6, 2024

    I have had a loan through Prestige for just over a year, it's high interest and I have received a few rate reductions as promised. I am around 75 percent done with a new home loan application. Going today to sign the paperwork and I wake up and equifax shows my account closed, included in bankruptcy, here's the kicker, my bankruptcy was the reason I got this loan from prestige and it was discharged around the first of the year, this remark on my credit tanked my score 21 points so now I will likely lose my chances of closing this purchase or getting a home loan whatsoever, to say I am mad is an understatement, I am furious!!

    If it doesn't get fixed I will file a breach of contract lawsuit and seek damages. I thought this was a legit company that was going to help me turn my credit around, well it did turn my credit around, in the opposite direction that was intended by my diligence and making my payments on time and treating prestige like a priority, each and every month. I simply cannot believe that this reckless error on their part has ruined my credit and prevented me from becoming a homeowner...

    The best thing anyone could do at this point is just pay a lil bit of the car note, and just be saving to buy a car cash. Then surrender the car and just work with a credit agency and fight to get it removed, show proof that they have been robbing you, and that they are lying about how much is owed. I kid you not. I have three different principal balances on one statement. No one can confirm how much is owed on the car. So in this they cannot confirm that the information on every statement is correct. I will dispute until they get tired because none of the information is correct on the statements. Not even my address is right.

    It's mind-boggling that this company is even allowed to exist. I bought a 2019 CRV in 2019. By the time the vehicle is paid off I will have paid over $50,000. This was not even my loan but because my then fiance didn't have the credit they looked at me and said let's check your credit and I had better credit so we decided to put it in my name but he had the trade in so it then became both of ours. I was told that I was the main person on the loan and he was only the cosigner. I was lied to from the start of this loan. I was told that the loan payments are only $250. That was not true. My payments a month are $640.27 every month. I was told this after everything was signed sealed and finished.

    I'm not impressed. This was all through 199ride.com who if you know anything about have gone bankrupt because of the scamming they did to people. Now I have to fight with a man who has dragged my credit through the mud because he doesn't want to pay the car payments and the car payments are constantly late because I have other loans and every other bill is in my name. This company does not care if you're ill or that you have a special needs kid and you have other children to take care of. They could care less the only person that they ever get a payment from, is me. Not the guy who was there that also signed paperwork. I find it very strange.

    The interest rate that they charge people is astronomical. There's no way people will ever pay these vehicles off in a timely fashion and they're three times what the vehicle is worth. When I found out I could have bought a Porsche for $35,000, I was livid!!! I don't understand why the Better Business Bureau doesn't step in and do something about their company. Shameful. When people can afford payments but they just don't have perfect credit doesn't mean you have to charge them astronomical prices. That's ridiculous. But thank you for putting me into financial ruin. I'll just go bankrupt a second time in my life. Good Lord.

    We got a loan through this company for a car and although it was extremely high interest, we agreed to it. After paying for quite some time, I had major health issues and was 1200.00 behind, two car payments however, had a payment arrangement with them to completely catch up. At the grocery store a few days later they repossessed it. Then, they wouldn’t send me a bill for the balance after they got paid from the auction. Now 4 years later, they want to be paid interest on the balance of $4,000.00 for a total of over 17,000.00. I have an attorney so I’m not putting up with their ridiculousnesses but be warned.
