    Spoke to Linda in the Finance Department. I asked about "ToyotaCare" which is a service that Toyota provides free to all customers that purchases a new vehicle. (just wanted to know what was included in the 30,000 mile check up) Instead of finding someone or obtaining the information for me, she got very condescending and rude. I understand everyone has a bad day but because of this experience I will never purchase a vehicle from here and advise you to do the same.

    After deciding to pay off my 60-month auto loan early, I expected to receive the vehicle title. Wrong! TFS sent it to the wrong address (despite having sent 59 separate invoices to the correct address). It took three phone calls to get them to explain the address problem. They then indicated a release of lien letter would be sent and it was up to me to pay the $95 to get a replacement title.

    I told them they would be paying for the replacement title. I was quite surprised when a FedEx came with a check and paperwork. Someone was kind enough to hand write a note saying to take this to the DMV and all would be well. Wrong! DMV tells me the paperwork was incorrect and did not have the release of lien. As of now it is almost 60 days since I paid off the loan and I await their next attempt at getting it right. I can definitive say, I will not consider a Toyota when I start my car shopping and will focus on Subaru and Honda.

    Veterans come male and female. Veterans come with and without disabilities. Disabilities come with and without physical traits and signs. SETF does not recognize, appreciate, or lawfully abide by the laws and regulations regarding the treatment of those with disabilities. They are not in compliance with the ADA and do not support integration efforts of the VA to assist veterans with disabilities transition into civilian life. After learning of this, I traded in my SETF car to a dealership that did business with another lender. These people are anti-American.

    When making my last lease payment for my disposition charge of $360.50, I called in the payment to Toyota Financial, the person who was taking down my information put in an extra number on my banking account number. Superior Credit Union of Massillon, Ohio called me to inform me of the mistake. They told me to call Toyota back to make the correction which I did. Toyota then deducted two payments of $360.50 on 8/07/2017 and then another on 8/11/2017. When I called Superior Credit Union they said I would have to through Toyota.

    When I called Toyota they would put me from one call to another and disconnect me, when I would call back I was on put on hold and then disconnected again. I was on hold for an hour in total and never got an answer from anyone. They have caused a total miss out of my checking account, and they took $360.50 of my money that needs to be refunded. I am very disgusted with how the situation was handled from Toyota end and Superior Credit Union of Massillon Ohio. I had made every payment on time with this account and I am very upset how the last transition and also when I leased this car the salesperson told me if I bought another Toyota I would not have to pay a disposition fee which I did and I was still charged!

    Toyota Financial Services is ridiculous!!! I bought my sister in law's car and they are giving her a hard time getting her pink slip title. She's been calling this number 1-800-826-9467. They kept telling her to call back in 3-7 days to find out how much is her balance. She bought the car 1996. All this time she thought she already paid off the car and lost the pink slip. Then when I bought the car from her and tried to transfer it to my name DMV said Toyota is in the lien holder. She tried to call them and ask how much is her balance and kept telling her that they need to investigated.

    It's been more than 2 and half months and we're just waiting and waiting of what we supposed to do. But everytime we call them they keep saying to call back in a week. I am trying to pay off this loan for her and find out how much she owe. Last time she said she spoke to a manager they told her she owe $400 something more. Then the next time she calls they said $326 something. We don't know if this is legit but we're getting frustrated.

    Today I called them and asked how much is the balance so that I could pay it off. They said it doesn't say in the computer because the account is old. They don't know how much she still owe. It's so disappointing how they treat people after you finance a car from there. I guess because they're done business with you and they don't care. Don't finance from this people. They won't help you at all. They will let you wait forever just to get your pink slip. I told all my family never do a business with this company because they will try the best they can to rip you off if you ignore it.

    Never ever go through Toyota Financial Services! They are outrageously rude! They are trying to tell us that we are 2 months behind on our truck payment that's 800 + a late fee. Umm no. We paid it. I asked to talk to a manager and the guy refused! I am so beyond mad right now! Then the guy kept telling me that we couldn't use our debit card to pay the truck payment. Umm that's what we have been using, a debit card to pay online for the past year! Not cash. Not over the phone. Not any other way! I'm shaking mad. If that's the case of a debit card not being able to be used we would still owe like 8000$ + on our truck!!! We cannot afford a freaking 1100$ payment! Ughh!

    I closed the lease on my 2014 Scion xD and expected a billing statement for my lease disposition fee plus charges for any damage on the vehicle that was more than regular wear and tear. When I received a billing statement 6 weeks later for just my disposition fee and tax: $350 + $30.62 tax, I mailed a check for $380.62 and thought that was the end of it. 2 months later I received another bill for the physical damage on my car. I know that it is the terms and conditions to pay for damage that is "more than normal wear and tear" but how misleading to send a separate bill months later.

    The 2nd bill statement showed they received my disposition fee of $350 but didn't show that I also already paid $30.62 in taxes for it. When I called in about it the representative said I needed to hunt down the Toyota Financial Services bank routing and account number that received my payment of $380.62 and to prove to them that I paid more than $350. Hello?! You are Toyota's Financial Services, YOU hunt it down! When I told them that my bank routed it to the same routing that all of my payments have been going to the whole duration of my lease and that there has never been a problem with making or receiving payments in the past, they still insisted that I need to give them THEIR OWN routing and account number where my bank sent the payment. So incompetently useless customer service. How is it possible to send a payment of $380.62 but then TFS only receives $350 of it?

    I have not been able to log into my online account for many months. I have wanted to pay off the remaining balance on my 2013 Toyota Corolla. Months ago I called their customer service and informed the Toyota Financial Services of the technical issue. Today I attempted to log in again and once again I was unable to. I had to call them again to let them know that the same issue remains unresolved. I said, "You guys are the Toyota. Please fix it." The guy who received my call had no clue what was causing the problem. He merely promised me that they would contact me in 2 to 4 business days.

    I am not a kind who leaves comments on businesses and restaurants, but in this instance I have gone out of my way to leave this review simply because I am appalled by the quality of service from Toyota Financial Services. I will follow up on this post four days from now to report to the readers as to whether Toyota Financial Services will have kept up with its promise to a customer. I brought the problem to Toyota Financial Services' attention. It is about time that they resolve it.

    Updated on 7/12/2017: I ended my previous review (posted on July 3) with a promise to my readers to follow up on TFS' promise to call me back within 4 days to resolve the technical issue. I called back TFS today (July 12). 9 calendar days (and 6 business days) have transpired and I never heard from TFS, and the technical issue (that I have not been able to log into my account) has remained unaddressed. I had to call TFS to remind them that the issue remains unresolved. The agent who took my call did walk through a password reset procedure and did help me resolve the issue. I don't know why the first agent on July 3 did not take the same procedure. I reminded the second call agent today that it had taken TFS months to resolve issue. She claims that TFS' record indicates that the issue became resolved in January. My e-mail records state that I did manage to reset the password but never was I able to access the account.

    I retorted that I would not have called TFS continuously over the same issue at least since January if the problem had been truly resolved. Besides, 6 business days and 9 calendar days have come and gone and TFS never called me back within 4 days, contrary to what had been promised. I pointed out that shortcoming to the call agent today, and she had an audacity to respond that TFS' response was delayed by mere "few days." Out of exasperations I had to remark that the quality of service I received from TFS was "pathetic." "I can't believe that you guys call yourselves a Toyota," I stated.

    I purchased a 2012 Tundra long story short. I was injured at work (Toyota Motor Manufacturing) after being employed for a little more than 10 yrs. I lost the truck because the insurance company wouldn't honored it. I am now permanently disabled and that still wasn't enough for them to honor the policy! Did I need to die for the policy to be honored!!? When I needed to depend on the vehicle to get me back and forth to Dr's appts and surgeries, I wind up losing my truck, ruining my credit and finally realizing that my employer at the time (Toyota motor manufacturer) wasn't going to help, and turn their backs on me! The insurance company wouldn't honored the policy either. Toyota motor manufacturer is not what the general public thinks! They will dispose of an employee like trash.

    I reported the machinery malfunctions that day but profits took President over safety!! Now I am permanently disabled and my family has had to endure the hardships as well!!! Does anyone really want to give their money to a company who is nothing more than lip service? Again I was an employee of Toyota motor manufacturer for over 10 yrs. How will they honor your (Joe public) business? Don't find out the hard way!

    I turned in a leased Toyota early when purchasing a car from a different manufacturer. First, they harassed me saying they hadn't received payments. To protect my credit, I sent them an extra payment. Then they sent me a letter and check for $1400. However, 2 weeks later I get a letter from my bank that they stopped payment on the check and was charged $12. I called TFS to get an explanation and have been getting the run around since February (it is not end of June). Talking to their customer service is a waste of time. I have no explanation of wear and tear as I turned in the car with very low mileage. To this day I cannot get a decent accounting for this. Stay away from Toyota. They do NOT care about their customers. Not sure why they would call it “customer service” as “service” was something I never got.

I paid off my car many years ago, so I called Toyota Financial services to get a car loan lien release and I couldn't' believe what Toyota customer services told me. In order to release this document, Toyota's customer has to wait at least 30 working days to get it. Please, do your calculation. I requested it on May 24 and I was told that I have to wait until July 15. It is awful, incredible, discourage... Can you imagine when you need to go to work, helping your mother to go places or just to do a life chores that dependent on transportation?

    Saw this comment "Long waits on hold are regular. Inability to cooperate in any manner off script is totally lost." DITTO. Called to make a payment. Took a great deal of time to talk to someone who asked question after question. Attempting to register me online is not why I called. The resolution center a bigger joke when everything is geared to frustrate - they are no customer service organization and they will help only do what they are programmed to do. Can only call the automated system that wants your account # and ID # or you simply can go nowhere; get to a person the first thing they want is your account # and ID # plus more and more and more information. Get to the resolution center your account # and ID # yet again and even more.

    When I called back and got through to someone 15 minutes later and asked for the resolution center I refused giving the information again and again and asked right away for resolutions. "Can't do it without your information." All the time the customer service rep is laughing. I replied my next call is to our State Department of Finance for refusing to connect me to the resolution center who surely asked again for the information once given already in that call. They did connect promptly to resolutions when I made that threat which means the so called customer service rep was a flat out liar - go figure! Every financial account I've ever had until now I can talk to a helpful representative with a few minutes. At Toyota Financial Service it is the complete opposite with every call.

    My monthly payment on a 2011 Toyota Tundra just over $700. When my balance was around $900 I figured the remaining $200 would be my final payment amount. Just after 2nd to last payment I get a notice that my account is past due. So I make a payment for the remaining $200. Account is now closed and I am expecting my title information. After account was closed they took another $700 from my bank account and said it was because of the auto payments I had set up on their site. I was unable to access my account to turn off auto payments after making final payment so I could not have prevented this from happening.

    Now they say they want me to prove to them that they took payment in the form of a merchant report from my bank and once I prove it they will mail me a reimbursement check which will take 7-10 days from the date they verify which could be 3-4 days. Major inconvenience when you take my money and hold it for 2 weeks. I made every payment on time for entire loan and this is the thanks I get in return.

    When you return a lease, you are quoted outlandish prices to repair any and every dent on the car due to it meeting their mysterious criteria for "excess wear and tear". Do not be fooled by their statements that returning a lease is easy. Sure, it's easy if you don't mind being robbed blind. They blatantly refuse to explain their criteria for "excess wear and tear" so that you either fix every smallest defect on your own dollar or risk paying literally 8x as much for them to fix it after you return the lease. They deny the existence of a quantitative definition of "excess wear and tear" yet they measure and photograph every inch of your car. They are liars and cheats. It is an incredibly unethical way to do business. Not only do they rip you off this way, they are very, very rude to you as they do it.

    Before you sign the lease, they hide their crooked ways with sly language and a facade of striving to "make it easy" for you, but as soon as you sign the lease, they have no shame about their sick business and you are just a piece of garbage in their way of reaching their next victim. I'm an educated, hardworking person and I do not appreciate being treated this way. Their business tactics are vile, to say the least.

And if so, WHY don't you let them pay the bill? I've never seen people less enthusiastic about receiving money due to them. Long waits on hold are regular. Inability to cooperate in any manner off script is totally lost. They were quite interested in jacking up the costs by letting their "probate team" step in.

    They always tell me it was shipped "yesterday". The agent the day that they said they cannot confirm if it was shipped out said she can override a lien lease so I can take that to DMV to get my title!

    In 2015, I bought my 2006 Chrysler 300 from our local dealership. They set up my payments thru TFS because of my credit score at the time, plus they were the only ones that would finance a 9 year old car. Everything went well for the first year and then problems with TFS started to occur. In November of 2016, I lost my job and got ONE payment behind. TFS contacted me and told that I was THREE payments behind and threatened to repo my car. I explained that my November payment would be made, but it would be late. They asked me what about the other 2 payments of which I had paid and showed them proof.

    Fast forward to late January 2017. They called me again and told me that I was 4 payments behind and would be repoing my car if the payments were not made. I told them the payment for January was all I owed as I had just started working and the payment would be made within a week. Fast forward to February. They picked 8 pm in the evening to repo my car. I called them the next morning and they proceeded to tell me that it was an "unnecessary repo" which cost me $1300 to get my car back from the repo lot 60 miles from where I live!! I asked them if they were going to refund me that $1300 since it was an "unnecessary repo" and they clearly stated that they were not responsible for refunding any money since it was MY car!

    Fast Forward to April 2017. I made an extra payment for May along with my April payment. Received an email that stated, "Thank You, We Received Your Payment." Thought, cool, I'm a month ahead and can relax... NOPE! They send my bill for the month of... You guessed it. MAY! I called them concerning this matter and it seems that the payment was NOT in the system and the bank had declined it and sent it back due to "unauthorized use". The bank nor the Debit Card company had NOT declined it. Hmmmm, so I called my bank and they told me I needed to call the company associated with my Debit Card. It is a Prepaid Debit Card and I have no bank account at the bank, but I DO have a "bank account" with my Debit card company.

    Well, my Debit Card Company informs me that TFS for whatever reason did a VALUE LOAD with my payment as in instead of taking it off as a payment, they were using it as a "Direct Deposit" to my account with TFS!!! Sooooooo, I call TFS and tell them what happened and ask them WHY would they do this. Guess what? No one has an answer and states that "We don't do business this way..." Really??? So now I have to get a Merchant Statement to prove to them that the payment was taken out of my account, or wait 3 days and get a statement from my Debit Card company to prove that I made that payment. I wish I could refinance my car thru someone else, but most places won't take an 11 year old car, so I'm stuck with TFS. DON'T EVER FINANCE YOUR CAR THROUGH TFS!!! RUDE CSRS & CROOKED COMPANY!!!

    I paid my truck off in August 2016 and it is April 2017 and still have not received my Title! I have been going in circles with a financial customer service agent for the past 2 weeks! When I first called she said that I had to verify that the cashier's check I sent was mine even though when I sent the check they make you send a copy as well and she had the copy. She made me go and get another copy from my bank to prove it was mine. Not only did I get a copy but I also found out that T.F.S. had cashed the check so I also sent her that information as well.

    She said she needed a couple of days to verify everything and she would call back. She did not call back. I called back after no response and the same agent had said that she needed me to verify that there is a stamp of Toyota on the back of the check showing that they cashed it. I was puzzled... I said how can I have a Toyota stamp on the back of a cashier check that I sent? I argued with this lady for an hour that I would not have a copy of my cashier check with a Toyota stamp unless they sent me a copy after they cashed the check and why would Toyota do a thing like that? So after being frustrated and wanting to grab this lady through the phone, I asked to speak with a supervisor. She said and I quote, "I don't feel like this is a supervisor situation so I'm not going to allow you to speak to my supervisor." I kid you not this lady said that!

    So I hung up and called customer care. They documented everything I told them that happened and said that they would get a supervisor on the line and like I said I have been dealing with this for 2 weeks. Every time I would somehow be sent right back to the same agent! Today I get a call on 4/6/2017 by the same agent. She informs me that she still hasn't received a verification that the check is mine and that they also lost my funds. I quickly began to smell something very fishy. I asked the agent, "So you lost the cashier check when it clearly states on my bank statement that I sent her T.F.S. cashed the check 5 days after I sent it." She quickly changed her story so I asked her again, "May I speak with a supervisor?" I kid you not she said the same thing! She didn't feel that the situation called for that so she wasn't going to let me speak with one.

    I am outraged at the disrespect and the shenanigans this lady is pulling. I'm about to go seek legal consultation because I have proof I paid the truck off and Toyota is clearly responsible for not only sending the title but making sure the owner gets it. Word of advice don't ever ever do a loan through Toyota! I absolutely love my truck but after dealing with this I will never deal with Toyota again and that sucks. I paid 21,000 dollars and you would think Toyota would make me a platinum customer. Nope they could care less.

    I leased a Toyota Corolla through TFS and paid my monthly payments on time. In fact I paid my lease off 5 months prior to the end of my lease and handed the car over a month early in July 2016. A few weeks later I received a letter in the mail from TFS stating I am owed a refund check for $1,500 and I will receive the check in a separate secure letter. I'm a generally patient person and thought cool, I'll just wait for it to come. I made my first call September 19th because I moved and realized the check could have gone to the wrong address. I had found out that they hadn't cut the check yet and that there's a 90 day window. I called back in early January 2017. I don't like to push these kinds of things, but it had been almost 6 months since I first received the letter and was told on the phone that there's no reason for the hold up and they would escalate the payment.

    I called back at the end of January to check on the escalation on my account and nothing had happened in the previous 3 weeks. They said they would expedite the process on my account so I thanked them and hung up. After 3 more weeks I called again and they had no update. I was given the number for HQ & for complaints. Both numbers lead to the same automated message options. I have NEVER written a complaint before, but this is outrageous. It has now been 8 months since I turned my lease in and was informed of my refund check and there is still NO update and NO check.

    Save yourself the trouble and time and avoid this company. Customer service is horrible and their employees are just outright rude. I refinanced my auto loan with my credit union in January and they sent the payoff on the 29th. My credit union has proof that Toyota processed the check that was sent on February 8th. However, Toyota owed me for an overpayment so I called to find out why my check was not sent on the 16th when it should've been sent just to find out on the automated system that my account was past due by $918. I was very upset and unsatisfied because I have already made two payments to the credit union. Decided to check my credit and I now have two auto loans! Spoke to an employee as to why I was not informed about them reopening my account.

    They claimed they mailed me a letter which I have yet to receive. They also claimed that they left me a message on my voicemail and my voicemail was not set up which is a complete lie. They had me going back and forth with my credit union saying that the proof I had was not sufficient when in fact it was the only thing they needed. I am not sure that these employees aren't being properly trained, but regardless don't waste my time when you are the problem. After three days of going back and forth they finally took the document the credit union sent to me since day one. I called again to get an update and the representative was very rude, would cut me off, and then had the audacity to tell me to make the past due payment that was owed after Toyota admitted that they were at fault. I hung up on her and I have been calling pretty much every day and still nothing.

    The representatives are no help and no one can tell me how and where my payoff check disappeared into thin air. After the check was mysteriously found it's been processing for two weeks now and every time I call they tell me "There's nothing we can do if your check is still being processed." Then they offer suggestions of me making two car payments a month so it does not go on my credit.

    I honestly hate Toyota because this is the second auto loan that I have had with them that I've had an issue. Are you guys just that greedy and do not care about your customers or are your employees just incompetent? I'm very annoyed and frustrated, but all I can say is once this gets resolved and if it does, given that I'm still going back and forth with you all since my first car that I have already traded in, I will never make the same mistake again. I will continue to inform people about how you're all a bunch of thieves and deter them from doing business with you!

    I wouldn't recommend Toyota Financial to anyone. They don't care at all about their customers. They don't believe in working with you to resolve the issue at all. This company is just all about money and when you call the representatives have a very nasty attitude. They don't care if you lose your job or whatever it may be. They don't listen at all you could have been. Told them something just the other day and they forget to notate it. SMH!!

    I loved my 2015 Toyota Corolla, which was repossessed last month at 3:00 in the morning. I had hell trying to get my items back and finding out where the vehicle was taken to. In order to get my items I had to pay with a card over the phone which the company never answers the phone and they don't stay open but 4 hours a day. I wouldn't dare finance another vehicle through Toyota Financial at all. Don't get me wrong Toyotas are very good cars and I would definitely get another one long as it could be financed through someone else. Stay away from this company if you can by all means necessary.

I contact Western Union Bill pay to try to get some information regarding my payments. They are telling me Toyota has received the payment but Toyota is saying they have not. I have been sending in extra money to try to keep the payments current but the problem continue to happen. I am missing a lot of money that Toyota has taken out of my account. They feel they are not responsible for the missing money.

    I have talked to customer service that has not helped me at all. They make it seem like I am making up the story. I have proof they have been taking out the money from my bank account. They are not trying to fix the problem. I sent in a payment recently to try to fix the back payment problem. They put me in for repossession and never told me anything. I didn't get a letter or a phone call. I have a payment I sent to them a week ago but they said they never got it. My car has been taken.

    I would recommend that people be little cautious of this company, I leased a vehicle from them and never missed a payment, I even paid my lease ahead so I could be approved for a house loan with no problem, It has been almost a year since I have turned in my lease and I just got a letter from a debt collector claiming I owe the disposition fee to Toyota, I have all the proof that I indeed did pay it. When I called Toyota to talk to them they said my account is now with the debt collector and I would have to deal with them.

    I thought that this was supposed to be a company with a good reputation however after dealing with this I can say that I will never get another Toyota. I am currently in the process of trying to prove that I made this payment. I have bank statements and everything, when I called to pay the fee they even overcharged my bank account and sent me a check for the difference. I can't believe it has taken this long for them to do something either. I turned my car in May of 2016 with no problems at all, even got confirmation numbers and everything and they are still claiming I didn't pay and won't talk to me themselves about it.

    Paid off my 2015 Toyota Highlander on 2/14/17. I called prior to paying it off to find out the process and how long to get my title. Started calling 2/20/17 daily to have my title overnighted. Each day I was informed it would happen. Called each day to get tracking number. No number and title had not been shipped. Each day has been a different story and a different date of when this would happen. When I complained about the inconsistencies of their information, the customer service agent became short with me. Friday, 2/24, I was told that if it was not overnighted today it would most definitely go out in the mail.

    Called today, 2/27, to confirm my title was in the mail. I was informed it had been mailed on 2/17 and must be lost in the mail so she was notifying title and registration to send me out a lien release form so I can go apply for a new title at my local DMV??? Are you kidding me? I expressed my dissatisfaction with TFS and a different answer to the same questions each day. It was explained to me there was nothing they could do as they no longer had the title. I also requested the number for their title and registration department so I could take care of this myself. Nope. They don't take calls. Surprise.

    I let that sit a minute and called again. Keep in mind, same day and same question. This time I spoke with Jonathan who told me they have the title and would overnight it to me. I will not be holding my breath. When I purchased my vehicle I was going to use my credit union but let the salesperson talk me into Toyota Financial Services. BIG MISTAKE.

    The Toyota Financial Representative misinformed and mislead me about a deferred payment that I requested on December 2016. I was told that I was approved and now our credit score is lower than ever. It was the miscommunicated and withheld information from their part that created this dilemma, which they now want to place the blame on us. I refuse to be their victim. I was in the process of renting a house and the negative mark that they created on my credit by this situation added to the decline of my ability to obtain our new home. It destroyed that for us. The credit dispute department makes decisions that only benefits them and elude to the fact that they are messing with people’s lives.

    Now they added that there was also an issue in my account in 2015. I totally disagree. The issue is being evaded. My satisfaction rate with Toyota went from very pleased to totally disappointment. I encourage others to constantly review their accounts and if able too, finance elsewhere before they too are misled. I am so ready to give back this vehicle since Toyota has already ruined what little salvaging I had done with my credit.

    I'm being repeatedly told I have a bill due. I call, someone say it will be corrected and then I get another bill. 1/7/17: I went into Baxter Toyota to speak with Bob ** about my Prius Lease that was going to be up soon. Neither he nor his manager, Joe **, could work with me on my price range. I said thank you and went to Gregg Young Chevrolet to see what options they had for me. 1/9/17: I purchased a new car from Gregg Young Chevrolet and they bought out my Toyota lease. 1/23/17: I received a letter in the mail dated 1/18/17 from Joe ** at Baxter Toyota stating there's still a remaining balance of $219.87 for my Prius lease.

    1/24/17: I send the letter to Gregg Young questioning whether they paid off my lease. My car salesperson, Dave, says, "I talked to one of our accounting people and he gave me copies of your "Payoff" amount and the check that was actually written to Toyota for the payoff and they are the same $15,518.22. Sounds like it is a way to get you into the store to buy something from Toyota. I tried calling Baxter Toyota and they were in a meeting. I talked to Toyota Financial Services (TFS), they received final payment but couldn't apply it because of 2 pieces of information that they said they didn't receive. Signed payoff form. Signed odometer statement. Talked to our Finance Director and they will get both of those faxed over today. Payoff was received and it will be back-dated per Jess at TFS. "You should be good to go and don't owe any $. Let me know if you hear something in the future from them."

    1/31/17: I check my TFS account to see if the situation has been resolved, it has not. First I called TFS, don't recall the person's name, he said I had to call my Toyota Dealership. Called and talked to Katie in Finance. I lost my cool when she said I needed to call TFS. Then she said Gregg Young hasn't paid anything. I rattled off numbers and dates to her about the final payment. Then she started looking stuff up on her computer. She had me call another number that went right back to the TFS automated system. I speak to Sam, he says Gregg Young didn't send over odometer documentation. I said they faxed it on the 24th. He puts me on hold for a few minutes. He comes back on the line and says they got it on 1/26/31 but it hasn't been processed. Sam says everything should be fixed by the end of the week. Katie calls me a few hours later to see if the issue has been resolved. As far as I know it has been.

    2/3/17 Receive an email from TFS about owing a final payment of $219.87 for my Prius lease. 2/5/17 Check my TFS account 1 more time before writing to the BBB. It still states I owe money. I don't I owe this money, but if I don't pay it it's going to hurt my credit. I want this fixed. TFS is not affiliated with BBB and since the first bill I received was from Baxter Toyota my complaint is with them.

    2/7/17 Baxter Toyota's reply, "When consumers trade vehicles, it is the responsibility of the new dealership to ensure everything goes smoothly, to include any payoffs, etc. I do not have enough information to have an informed opinion on whether or not Gregg Young has done everything right. They typically do. They are a reputable dealer in Omaha. That being said, we reached out to Toyota Financial Services and found the following: Toyota Financial received a payoff from Gregg Young on 2-3-2017. Based on the payoff Ms. ** may be due for a refund that she should receive in 3-4 weeks. Once again, this situation is out of our control and is between Ms **, Toyota Financial Services, and Gregg Young." I repeat that the first statement I received was from Baxter Toyota with the General Manager's name on it.

    2/8/17 I check my TFS account again this morning. The home page says I haven't paid the last January payment when before it was a February payment they were after. The last payment I made was on 1/6/17, I even have a confirmation number. That payment was due by 1/21/17. I paid it well before the due date. So now my TFS account says I have a past due balance affecting my credit.

    I urge you NOT to finance a vehicle through Toyota Financial Services. My experience has been one of a shell game. I feel as though I was the victim of fraud or a scam. I financed a loan for a Toyota truck through a local dealership. I recently sold the truck and paid off the $22,000.00 loan balance. Toyota confirmed that they received payment on 2/1. Since then, I have spoken with 6 agents and three "resolution specialists" to try to get Toyota to release my truck title to me. In EACH INSTANCE, I was assured that the title would be shipped and that the customer service rep would call me with a FedEx tracking number. Mind you, I had to open a FedEx account to receive those assurances.

    I started working on this a week ago. As I write this, the evening on Feb 7th, I still don't have my title and it hasn't been shipped. I will file a complaint with the Better Business Bureau and the Vermont Attorney General. Vermont loves to pursue consumer fraud offenders. I will never buy another Toyota product as a result of this experience.

They lack the customer service skills to actually assist or work with customers at times. I feel they live off of threatening a person that they will repossess their car. The reps will say "we are working with you but what happened that you fell behind." If they record all the conversations and they type up their contacts I do not and repeat do not understand the miscommunication of why they are not aware of why a person falls behind.

A few days later, I called back and was told that that the lien was closed out on the 12th. Since the 12th was a Saturday, I was told the title was mailed out on the 14th and I should received it shortly.

This is absolutely the most horrible customer service I have ever received and the people on the phone just read off of their script and do nothing to help resolve the problem. I even emailed the dealership where I bought the car and asked if there was anything they could do to help me or if I should just contact a lawyer (no response, of course!). I will NEVER buy a Toyota ever again.

    I had turned in my 36 month Corolla lease to Mazda in September 2016. Mazda had agreed to payoff my remaining lease payments since I still had until February 2017 with the corolla. They advised me I might be assessed a disposition fee which I was ok with paying since I termed my lease early to switch to mazda. About 3 weeks later, I get a phone call from an unknown number asking me to pay $272 that was remaining on my TFS account. I said I didn't know who she was and I never received a statement, but if she would like to send one, I would pay it. She seemed annoyed by this, but why would I pay a random person without knowing what I am paying for? It took about 2 weeks from Toyota to receive this statement, but I reviewed it and thought it was my disposition fee so I called and paid it. The rep I spoke with said my account was clear and I was all set.

    Well, about another 3 weeks later I get ANOTHER statement from Toyota this time asking for $378! I called them to question what this payment was for? The rep told me it was for the disposition fee. I said I just paid $272 a few weeks ago and I was told my account was clear? The rep said "oh yes, I see that payment, it looks like you overpaid and are due a refund" but she was going to check with her team lead and call me back with an accurate answer. She said if I didn't hear from her to call back within a few days for status. Since I never heard from her, I called them back and asked what the outcome was. The rep I talked to said it was reviewed and I was NOT due a refund.

    I then asked why I was paying $272 anyways, they told me that Mazda only paid 4 out of 5 lease payments. I said but I was there when they called to get the payoff amount and why would they only pay you 4/5 payments? I was then told I could call Mazda and work it out with them for a refund and that Toyota wouldn't be doing anything and where do I think I'm getting a refund? Umm because that is what your rep told me?

    I called Mazda and spoke with the finance manager who worked on my payoff, and he said that was the amount given to him on the automated system. I called Toyota back and they said there was nothing due back to me, so there was nothing left to dispute. I asked to speak with a manager after getting huffs and puffs from the customer service staff and it took 2 days for them to call me back only for the manager to be BEYOND rude. I asked that I have statements sent to me showing all payments I've made toward my lease and then the payment from Mazda.

    After 2 weeks and still not getting those statements, I called back asking that I get an extension on my disposition payment since I was waiting on statements to review before I paid them anything more. About a week later I am now just getting these statements. After looking, it shows I've made 33 payments. Mazda has paid 4... something just doesn't seem right. So when I called again today to question this the rep kept talking over me, telling me I'm not getting money back, And I don't have a reason to be mad, which was just infuriating me even more. After I told her I needed to break the payment up into a few payments she said I could only have until December 6th for a payment plan and that I couldn't pay with a credit card.

    I will be calling again and bring this to corporate's attention if need be because the way I have been treated my Toyota Financial reps have been so disrespectful, making me look like I'm the idiot, and that I have no reason to be questioning where MY money is going. I will never buy a Toyota again in my lifetime or recommend them to anyone looking for a car.

    It is very bad experience to deal with Toyota Finance Services. We visited the Yorkdale dealer 2 weeks ago before lease expire, they perform the pre-inspection and there is nothing required to be repaired, however they asked 2000 dollar for dents which are smaller than repair size. After almost 2 months, they performed another inspection by third party and sent us a bill with more than 1500. We told them we have the pre-assessment and the inspection result cannot be accepted after 2 months since we returned the car. Now we have to go through small claim court to resolve it.

    I was a happy Toyota customer until I turned in two leased vehicles recently. My husband and I each leased a Toyota from a large, high volume Massachusetts dealership three years ago. Thanks to the dealerships size and swarms of customers trying to lease/purchase vehicles, we had to quickly sign contract papers after verbally agreeing upon the monthly lease payments and the fact that we did not agree to pay any additional fees. Needless to say we were not given the time or explanation of all the details of our contract.

    Fast forward three years after making all payments on time and taking care of the vehicles, when we turned in our clean cars that each were significantly under in mileage, we did due diligence and called Toyota Financial Services (TFS) to make sure we were all set with everything. They told me that we were all set and didn't owe anything. They then mentioned after reviewing my contract again that I would owe a $350 fee plus taxes on each vehicle. I asked why and they said it would be a disposition fee that the dealership was charging.

    I called the dealership and they said it wasn't a fee they were charging but rather one TFS was charging. I feel exhausted just trying to explain this next part, but over the last few weeks we were on the phone repeating our confusion and frustration to various departments at TFS for several HOURS over several days. TFS told us they get SEVERAL calls from customers with the same confusion and complaint but still insist there's nothing we can do and we must pay the $750. No one expressed any concern... why would they? They're a large organization and we're just an unknown middle class family.

    If we are so unimportant to TFS as a prior (and no longer potential customer I must add) then why on earth is my $750 of hard-earned income at a non-profit so important to them? The deceitfully added fee is supposedly to offset the cost of "all" TFS does for us when we turn in THEIR vehicles. Yeah, let me rush that thank you card. A more ethical practice would have been to either require dealerships to have customers initial next to the fee in the contract or don't charge the fee at the end and ask for it up front. Might help them to not look like the unethical, one-star rated organization they are.

    Now that we have to send $750 to help Toyota keep up its revenues and lower our savings, I can guarantee I will never purchase or lease another Toyota in my life. I've already encouraged other members of my large family who have or were planning on getting Toyotas to purchase other vehicles. So sad when companies have no regard for the human factor of doing business.

    TFS placed a negative credit mark on my report. Just one, out of years of solid payments. They would not remove even after writing their CEO. Note, although the payment was technically late, after the error was found I made the payment immediately on the due date, however they did not post the payment until after the due date and then smacked me with not only a late charge, but a negative rating on my credit report. I have written to the CEO and he wrote back saying they were not changing the mark. This after owning only Toyota's and perfect payments... Going back to the 1990's!! Toyota obviously does not care about their customers after the car deal is done, thus I have decided to leave them and move to another car manufacturer.

    I am writing this letter of complaint against Toyota Financial Services (TFS) because of all of the back and forth I have had with closing my account. In April 2016, I traded in a 2014 Toyota Venza that was financed through TFS for a 2016 Toyota Camry, that is currently financed through Southeast Toyota. In August, when meeting with a mortgage counselor, I discovered that the 2014 Venza was still appearing on my credit. I immediately called TFS and found out they were not aware of the fact that I traded the car into a local dealership because they have not received the 2014 Toyota Venza back in-house. With that said, I called Southeast Toyota who apologized for not notifying TFS that the vehicle was returned.

    After I straightened out that debacle, I called TFS about the third week of August to confirm that the account was closed since they had received confirmation that the vehicle was returned in April. TFS then proceeded to tell me that I still owed a payment of about $444. I could not understand how I still owed money on the vehicle when I had already worked out a deal with Southeast Toyota when I purchased the 2016 Camry. So after asking a few questions to get to the root cause of the error, that’s when TFS stated that the representative with whom I spoke to in April, provided me with the wrong amount and that amount was given to Southeast Toyota when I purchased the 2016 Camry.

    I was very upset that the representative had given me the wrong amount, but TFS did nothing to correct the error other than to say that they would use my experience as a “coaching opportunity” for the representative. The call was then escalated to a supervisor with the Mature Leasing services, but the best the manager could offer me was an extension on the due date. He advised that he would extend the due date to October 5, 2016. My husband and I scrambled to pay both my current 2016 Camry’s payment and the 2014 payment in early October.

    As soon as we mailed the payment to TFS, I called again to ensure that the payment was received and that the account was closed. However, imagine my surprise on today, October 17th, six months after I traded the vehicle in, when the representative told me that I owe an additional $738 for the miles, which includes the sales tax. I could not believe that once again TFS was telling me that I owe them more money. I tried explaining to the representative that I should have been notified months ago and said that even after I spoke to a supervisor in August, someone should have told me about the miles. Instead, I was only notified after calling today.

I attempted 5 or 6 times to use the automated which was a joke. Then it sent me to customer service. I told them every time that I have a reference number and I need to speak to probate. They gave me the runaround every time. They would put me on hold with that God awful music (and I use the word loosely). They want an account, a social security number or a vin number. Mind you, I have a REFERENCE number to get to Probate so I thought. I have had to argue with them every time I have called. This is the most sorriest excuse of a company I have ever tried to work with. I don't have time to argue with them for hours.

    I finally got the payoff and wanted to give them a check over the phone. I was told that I would have to make several calls to pay it off because they can only accept 3,000.00 at a time. Ok, here I am trying to pay this vehicle OFF!!! And they tell me I'll have to make several calls??? I have been a vice president for a company for many. I know how a company should work.

    When I went to turn in my lease and my credit was so bad that I could not buy anything Toyota kindly extended my lease. Six months later they offered to extend my lease to help us out... which is now.

The car is superfine and I had the car in my possession and already run a mileage of 2000K. I received a phone call from Joseph from Financial Services. First of all, no number appeared on my mobile screen. Secondly, this guy starts to introduce himself and soon starts to raise his voice tone and start holding me responsible that it was my responsibility to call back to report that the weekly payment is still to be due.

    He was very aggressive and bossy, I must admit that I had to interfere and let him know that he has no right to talk to I'm like that because it is not my fault and therefore I am the customer who is paying for the car. No empathy nor apology from his side as if he took me for granted. He even threatened me that this will affect my credit history if I don't pay your company the soonest possible. Many things on, I even complained to Mark, his supervisor, and send a letter to the Financial Director, which I think he might been busy not even to respond to my letter. Because nobody cares for customer feedbacks and values.

    Well, I would like to inform you that your cars are super well but just the way that mere employee behaved I am no longer turning back to Toyota and even telling friends my worst experience I have had with your employee. I wish to say that I refused Honda Civic 2016 (St. Constant - which you may cross check to see that I am lying) and came to you but this the way how I was treated. This is absolutely unacceptable from your company. I really wished that my concern is being taken care of and somebody get back to me and also hoping to have something done as good will gesture.

Got it when I needed a new car, and of course they gouged me on the Apr as my credit score was poor then, but I had to go with it, which made my monthly payments for my Highlander ridiculously HIGH. In short, I just got laid off from my job, and Toyota Financial didn't care. They totally denied getting me an extension which is actually a deferred payment. It blows my mind that this company is going to get the payment anyway, so why not work with their consumers to give themselves a great reputation instead of being known as money hungry beasts. They couldn't give me a straight answer when I asked why I couldn't get a deferred payment. Just gave me a blanket answer which consisted of random reasons why I might not have been able to get it.

How would she feel if she lost her job, and couldn't make her ridiculously high car payment, and got threatened with a repo? What added insult to injury was that they dared to tell me, "We will mark your payment as late and add a late fee with report to the credit bureaus if your payment is not received within 30 days, so it's better that you resume your payment for this month."

    I have 2 leases with Toyota Financial: A Corolla and an Avalon. After a year of calling Toyota to inquire why my account assessed a late fee every month it was because my county had my Corolla listed to be charged as business use, not personal use, so I was being charged a higher tax rate for 3 years. I called attention to it, Toyota was made aware, the County I live in adjusted the tax rate and issued Toyota a refund check to be applied to my account in the area of $850.00.

    Toyota has cashed these checks days after they were mailed but has not applied them to my account. I have spoken with countless members of the so called "customer service" team who act as though you are an obstinate child when you call, I have been transferred without even being asked to hold to collections more times than I would like to count and been treated like a dreg of society, I have spoke with members of the laughable "customer resolutions team" whose hours do not correlate with any member of society, so God forbid a person go to work to pay their bills, you will certainly not be able to catch a member of this elusive team in a timely manner. I have even spoke with members of the Corporate team.

    The executive administrator to the President of Toyota Financial Services Adrian **, who apologized profusely, acted horrified, assured me he would call me back the next day with information and I am still waiting for his return call. I fixed this problem with NO HELP from Toyota and now not only will they not, for whatever reason, appropriate these funds to my account, they had the audacity to SEND OUT 3 YEARS OF PERSONAL PROPERTY TAX TO MY COUNTY!!! So, instead of any of these people who are supposed to be fixing this problem, fixing it, they have made it nearly $800.00 worse. These are some of the rudest, most unprofessional, ridiculous, non-customer service having people I have had the misfortune of dealing with. Incompetence does not even begin to describe this financial institution.

    This has been going on for a year and everyone I speak with assures me they will save the day and fix it and then they promptly lose my number. I know for sure, if I owed Toyota this amount of money, they most certainly would not have waited a year for it. This company has informed me that they have a personal property tax team working to resolve this issue as quickly as possible and I have yet to hear from that "team" and the problem is worse, not better. If you want to give your money to a bunch of irresponsible people who cash checks and then "can't find" the money so they don't credit your account then this is the place for you.

    When selecting our loan term, the finance person we worked with described an option for making smaller bi-monthly payments instead of monthly payments. This would reduce the overall interest paid on the loan and also cut our overall loan term by a few months. It seemed like a great deal and no reason not to choose the bi-monthly option.

    We come to find out afterwards that Toyota processes this service through AutoPay Plus (which seems like a fine institution) which charges a $1.95 fee for initial signup, a $1.95 fee for each transaction ($3.90 per month) and a $399 "Program Fee" - which essentially will eat all of the savings we might obtain by paying less interest and prepaying the loan a few months ahead of time. None of these fees were described when the option was presented to us and we never would have selected this program had we known about these costs. Our loan is still relatively new and I'm hopeful that we can cancel our account with AutoPay Plus before they process the $399 fee. I may try to refinance this car loan as soon as I can so that it is not directly through Toyota any longer. I would not deal with this group again.

    On 6/6/16, I paid my Toyota Highlander off. The payment cleared my bank account 6/6. I at that point turned off the automatic payments to them since I paid it off. At the end of June, I received a "bill pay" I thought, they just hadn't completely processed it. On July 20th, I received another "bill pay" for June and July's payment with late fees. I called Toyota Financial. After a 45 min hold (I also posted an email to customer service while I waited for a person on hold), the gentleman told me that he saw the payment, but it didn't get applied. It was over 12K. So, he applied it and basically closed the account. On July 27th Toyota sent me a letter stating that it was taken care of and I also got a check for interest. Then on 7/28 they withdrew the June/July payment from my account. I have spent a good 4 hours trying to get this straightened out.

    Finally today via the email on their site they tell me they get it and my money will be returned in approx 15 days. Unbelievable. They took money after it was turned off for them not to withdraw, overdrew my account, so I have overdraft fees (they made me fax that info in) and that will come "separate" from the return of the two payments. My bank also tried to call them but was stuck on hold for over 45 mins. They finally gave up and the next day I had to get back on the phone with Toyota. Only the people you talk to cannot do anything about this. The people that can, even the Toyota rep told me they don't have a phone # for, only a fax number for us to send in the bank records showing the "error".

    As much as I love my car, I would NEVER recommend financing through Toyota because they have NO clue what they are doing. I can deal with the 1200 overdraw, but many people cannot.

I have had to call in multiple times, sit on hold for up to 45 minutes each time I had called and was never given a straight answer about where I was in this process. I have even given them a FedEx account number in order to expedite the process once the title was sent out. I called another time on July 21st, I was told the fax was processed on July 18th. I was beyond frustrated. 11 business days just to process the fax especially when I was told that it was already processed and my title should be sent out "any day now" from multiple representatives.

    I was then transferred to the supervisor on duty. She was very nice and explained why it was taking so long. I gave them the benefit of the doubt and was understanding that they were "backed up" with processing the requests. That supervisor told me she would reach out to me Monday (July 25th) with an update on whether my title has been sent, no phone call. I even contacted the place the title was to be sent to see if it was an oversight and that my title was received. It has not been received. So I am now on hold for a 6th time with TFS to see if someone can actually do something instead of telling me what they think I want to hear.

On the top of that they still charging me every month for the lease that was already paid off.

    I traded my 2013 Prius Leased from Auto Nation Toyota on June 18th when I leased a new 2016 Prius from a different Toyota dealer in Michigan. The new dealer and I followed their instructions for payoff and lease termination. The Michigan dealer sent my payoff check and proper paperwork to Southeast Toyota Finance on June 18th. Southeast Toyota cashed my payoff check on June 27th. In July Southeast Toyota Finance was still taking lease payments from my checking account. I called and the representative said that automate withdraws from my account would cease and the money would be returned to my account within five days.

    This did not happen. I called again on July 26 and was told that it was my bank's fault and it would take several weeks to finalize the termination of the old lease. I have received a bill in the mail for $ 1344.76 which ignores the fact that the lease has been paid off. Its shows that I have made 38 payments on a 36 month lease and still owe two more payments. Obviously they are pissed that I did not lease the new Prius from one of their dealerships and are trying to get back at me by screwing with my bank account and ruining my credit.

    Where to begin, Everything about them is Awful. My wife and I financed a car at the Darcars Toyota in Silver Spring. Thought everything was good, until the first payment issue started. My wife paid it via the phone, not realizing they use western union. They received the payment , but then reverted the payment over 7 times, without calling me or emailing me to inquire. Then they sent me a late payment with the current payment due. For the record, I told the agent no one ever called and she began yelling and becoming argumentative and after an hour on the phone, she simply hung up!!

    Second Issue: I sent an early payoff check to them overnight. After 11 days no update was made to my account. On 7/18/2016 I called and after 35 minutes on the phone waiting to speak to someone, the agent told me it was returned because it wasn't made out to Toyota Financial Services. Granted the dealer told me to make it out to them with my wifes name on it and it will be fine. Guess not!! The dealer told us the wrong informations and now I'm out of $40 from overnighting it and have to start over the payoff process again!! WHAT BS.

    Summary of issues: You wait an average of 25-35 minutes just to speak to someone. They mess up your payments and then send you a late payment or double payment required. Agents seem to be blaming the customer and takes no responsibility being Toyotas fault. Cannot pay off car at dealer policy where you bought the car from. They never call or email you, though they say they do and they never leave a message. Sent my check back via regular mail, not ups or fedex.

    Horrible customer service and financing process. Stay away from Toyota Financial Services, and get a Honda (Never had any issues). Highly disappointed and frustrated. Will never be purchasing a Toyota or financing through them. I will tell friends and family to avoid Toyota because of this same reason.

    The website doesn't have enough information. For example, I wanted to pay off my loan and sell the car. The website talks about payoff but no link or directions how to do it. I tried to call. After approximately 40 minutes of hold time, someone picked up but by that time, I forgot what I wanted to ask. Then I went to the DMV to do the rest of the paper work. The DMV needs the ELT (electronic file transfer number). It is not on the website either. Tried to call. Wow, the hold time was only 20 minutes. Continue to hold for 30 minutes and hung up again. I doubt I will finance again from this company. If this is the only company to finance toyota purchase, then me, my family, or my friends will think twice before buying one Toyota. Sorry.

When I came out after locking my office I couldn't find my car??? I had no idea anyone can do that without permission. Called the police as I thought the vehicle got stolen as I had my home keys and mail keys in the vehicle. Came to know it was picked up by Toyota Financial, I had to take a cab to reach home... and that in Houston. I bought the car from Joe Myers and had no idea who the hell Toyota Financial is. It was the dealership fault of putting me on this spot and not picking up the car when I never wanted it in the first place and was not even working at the time and then these loan sharks.

    After three days and more than one hour of wait time, I came to know where my car was and picked up my belongings from the car. Also they refused to negotiate anything after several attempts by me. Imagine this unwanted episode has affected my credit with lowering my credit and constant cropping of stalled payments.

    First, I want to let you all know that I created this account just to leave this review. Steer clear of Toyota Financial Services. My car was declared totaled May 27, 2016 due to flooding. I contacted Toyota and let them know what my primary and GAP insurance needed and asked if they could send it over to me. They refused to send it to me and said that they would send it to my GAP provider as soon as they got it all together. June 29th I sign onto my Toyota account to realize that I still had $4000 outstanding, the amount my GAP was supposed to cover.

    I called Toyota, waiting for 20 minutes before I was hung up on by a representative and called back and waited ANOTHER 20 minutes just to be told "we are still waiting on one more document before we send it to your GAP. Make sure that you are making your monthly payments on time, for sake of your credit". I personally feel like this is being drag out tremendously so that they can collect as much interest as possible since it is a early pay off. They have horrible customer service, and every time I call to discuss the status, they can't give me any information but always tell me to continue my monthly payments. I have never been late since getting my car and always pay double notes every other month. DO YOUR RESEARCH ON LENDERS! THEY ARE HORRIBLE!!!

At this point, if Toyota wants to retain title they can pay me and take the car back or give me title, so my insurance company will not require that I maintain full coverage for a vehicle that is no longer worth the added expense. Blue book value does not warrant the annual insurance premium, which will not replace the vehicle.

    I am at the end of my lease and Toyota Financial Services is horrible with customer service they provided so far. I have leased a Prius '12 in NY state and moved to CA. For about two years, they continued charging additional fees to my monthly payment without being able to explain what the additional fee is for. Initially they insisted that I did not pay NY state sales tax. Ultimately (after 2 years of phone calls!), they agreed that the NY sales tax was paid and was shown in the contract.

    The interesting part is that TFS does not use email service for communicating with the customers. You should either use phone which takes you a while until you can talk to a rep, or write a letter and mail it to them!! Eventually they came up with a customer support online service. However, any questions that is sent to them is labeled as "resolved" even if the case or problem is not resolved. The online customer service is just a marketing gimmick and you have to call at the end to resolve the issue. They still does not use email!!

    Eventually the customer representatives notice that you have no other option and they become rude and force unrealistic statements. They are charging you sales tax in the monthly payment, but if you ask to include the sales tax in the buyout quote, they claim that they cannot collect sales tax. Whoever wants to lease a Toyota, take extra caution. If you intend to keep the car at the end of lease term, negotiate the price as much as you can at the beginning. At the end of your lease, there are credit union and other loan institutes that give lower interest rates comparing to Toyota. Even though you have been a loyal customer, you will pay the penalty for keeping the car. Dealers charge an extra fee for processing the application.

Furthermore, TFS successfully mailed the monthly billing statements to me for each of the 60 months of the loan period.

    After several months passed, Navy Federal Credit Union wrote me that they had received the title to my Prius, but did not know the loan it belonged to. Of course there was no loan with NFCU. After a phone call to NFCU, who were a delight to deal with, the title was mailed to me. I followed up with TFS telling them where they had mailed my title, and they did apologize. I note this apology came after they were proven beyond all doubt of being in error and had insisted repeatedly they had mailed the title to my address of record, but they would not tell me what address they used.

    I did sign up for automated payments from my bank account after the first few months of the loan because TFS would mail the payment coupon so that it arrived less than ten days before it was due. If I were out of town, this could result in a late payment, which is the underlying intention of this tactic. If you sign up for automated payments, be sure to set the payments 3 days early or TFS will record late payments when the due date falls on a 3-day Holiday weekend. This tactic also appears intended to generate strikes against you on your payment history.

    TMC is one of the original Edwards Deming quality companies. Obviously the customer-focused principles Deming promoted were not adopted when TFS was established in the US, and TMC has slipped seriously with numerous quality defects such as gas pedals that stay down during high humidity which Toyota denied for years. After TMC could not deny the problem, they tried to marginalize its seriousness by calling it a "sticky pedal", you know kind of cute like sticky rice. I had gotten the loan with TFS because it was a TMC marketing choice offering a 0% interest 5 year loan. If I buy another Prius, or a Lexus hybrid, I won't be doing business with TFS. My advice to readers is to pay cash and if you must borrow, get your consumer and auto loans at your local bank.

    I have seen a lot of horrible reviews for Toyota Financial Services on this site. I rarely ever do product reviews or service reviews but because my experience differs vastly from those I read I wanted to share my thoughts. I bought my Rav4 in 2011 brand new. I was a first time car buyer and they treated me so amazing! They gave me an amazing deal on my car. I had a fixed budget and down payment that I would NOT go over. They did not push me to do anything I wasn't comfortable with. They respected my budget completely! Fast forward to the end of 2013. The company I worked for shut its door and we all lost our jobs. TFS worked with me so well. They gave me as many extensions as I could have and took the small payments I could give them.

    Now don't get me wrong, they called when I was late and sent me letters letting me know if I didn't pay such and such amount they would "cure default" but that's their job. People forget that they can't do everyone favors! They have to make money too! If you don't want to deal with all that then save up and pay cash! Through my year of unemployment I NEVER EVER had one customer service rep that was rude. They were all sympathetic to my situation and were all so kind! I plan on driving my car until it is completely dead and buying my next one cash to stay out of debt, however if I ever bought financed a car again it would absolutely be through TFS!

    We purchased a Toyota 4 Runner nearly 5 years ago. A year ago, due to the economy crash and lost property investments, we had to file bankruptcy. Per the terms of the bankruptcy, we were allowed to keep our car providing we continue payments. Toyota made this very difficult. They refused to send statements or accept auto deduct payments from our bank account. We had to make our own envelope and remember to mail it in with absolutely no reminder. We did this flawlessly for a full year.

    On Dec. 4, we missed our first payment of the entire 5 year loan by an accidental oversight. We only had 3 payments left before the car was paid in full. On the evening of Dec. 28, our car was repossessed. We were given no notifications about the late payment. No call. Nothing. Of course, the repo was timed perfectly with the holiday, so that getting the information regarding how to pay off and get our car back is being sorely delayed. Meanwhile, storage fees are accruing. Because our car is so close to being paid off, it feels as though Toyota is attempting to make quite a profit on our car. Not only did they receive nearly the full value of the loan, but they also stand to make close to $10,000 extra by reselling our car. We fully intend on paying off the car and getting it back once we find out how much we need to pay, but in the meantime we are stuck carless for who knows how long.

    Toyota does not care about the people behind their money. My children and wife use that car to commute 30 miles to school and work. Next week will be quite a hardship on them. All of which could have been avoided if Toyota had taken the time to make ONE phone call about the missed payment. With our payment history, it was clear we were able to pay on time. Toyota has not only lost our future business, they have lost our family's business. There have been 4 Toyotas purchased by my in laws in the last 5 years. There was at least one Toyota purchase on the horizon. Our entire family is outraged, and looking to other places to bring our business.

    Toyota continued taking a payment of over $500 from my bank account after the vehicle was paid off. They acknowledge they owe me the money. Problem -- process to get my money involves getting merchant's report from bank, my bank statement, writing description and account number on each page and FAXING all pages to a long distance phone number (not toll-free). They will not use email nor can I take this to a local dealer. For me who does not have access to a FAX machine, this will cost a small fortune -- my guess is between $20 to $50 in FAXING fees and phone charges. Toyota is purposely putting up barriers so they can keep my money longer or even hope I will give up and not ask for my money.

    I bought my car in August 2015. My first payment was due 09/27/15. No problem. I planned on settling my account auto. However I never received a statement. So I called before my payment was due and asked why I had not received a statement and could I make a payment over the phone? The representative said she could not take a payment over the phone because I was not in their system yet and she would not know where to post the payment since I did not have an account number yet.

    I asked her if I would incur a late fee and she said yes but she would remove it. Well I finally received a statement today 11/26/15 and the late fee was there on my statement. So I called Toyota today and they said it had been removed but somehow it was back. I have a credit score of 800 so for me to have a late fee when I tried to make a payment and to not receive a statement until today is upsetting. Her answer was she would have to go research before she takes it off.

    Because of unexpected events we were forced to file a Chapter 7 bankruptcy. When a Chapter 7 is filed, an automatic stay is issued by the court and sent to all creditors. They are forbidden to take ANY collection actions, including even sending you letters or calling you, until the case is finalized. They are also forbidden from repossessing anything.

    My bankruptcy will not be finished until early December. At about midnight on November 12 I found my car gone. The police told me it had been repossessed, and the repo company left word that I should contact Toyota Financial, which, of course, is not open at night. Although they will have to return the car, it is now over 45 miles away, I have school in the morning, and there are things in it I have to have, and the repo yard doesn't open until 9, and neither does Toyota Financial. It is obvious someone at Toyota Financial screwed up, but a reliable company would not make this kind of error.

    Well, my issue is a form of payment. I have always been very uncomfortable with allowing debit payments to come out of my account. I have recently gotten over it, but I typically prefer to call in my payments for my bills (not just with TF), as that works better for me. Well, there was a time where I did not have an initial issue with TF as I could call in my payments to pay for my vehicle. Now, you are no longer allowed to do that unless you are in default status. It is more convenient for me to call in my payment instead of having you all take it out of my account. I thought about mailing the payment in, but it would take too long and then the collection calls would start and I do not like that either. I will change my rating once they allow for individuals to call in their payments.

    My niece recently fell behind and had her car repossessed by SETF. She immediately came to me and I loaned her the money to retrieve her car. It took over a week to get a payoff amount and impound fee amount. All the while racking up additional fees. We sent a wire transfer last Thursday and we're told the car could be picked up from the impound yard on Monday. When she called on Monday, she was told that the car had been sent to auction over 250 miles away. We now owe additional fees and have to travel a great distance to retrieve the car.

    She had been in constant contact with the company and they knew she was redeeming the car. SETF has lost a customer... Not my young niece who made a stupid mistake. The lost customer is me!

    I am beyond furious with Toyota. Back in 2013, Toyota repossessed my 2011 RAV4, stating I was three months behind, which was NOT the case. Toyota was cashing my checks and storing them in a "safe" with all the payments they couldn't match to accounts, since they couldn't read my account number & match it to any accounts on record. Anyway, that situation was resolved and they had to pay all the repo fees, etc.. Fast forward to 9/11/2015, my car gets repossessed AGAIN! I forgot to pay July's payment but have been current otherwise. I call TFS customer service dept. after this happened to see first off why it was repossessed, then realizing I forgot July's payment to bring my account up to date.

    They inform me that in order to obtain my vehicle, I need to pay the remaining balance $11,075 + all associated fees to get my vehicle back, all over $520, which was a simple mistake on my end, but they won't work with me to bring my account current. I am now stuck with unnecessary fees and having to take out a personal loan to pay off the balance. What upsets me is they are claiming it's because it's my second repossession, which the first one was completely their error. The fact that I never received notification pertaining to my outstanding balance is also unacceptable and I will be speaking to someone about a wrongful repossession case. I WILL NEVER DO BUSINESS WITH TOYOTA AGAIN and will do everything in my power to inform others of how horrible Toyota is and their horrible business practices.

    We accidentally did not turn off bill pay at the end of the billing cycle for the car so we overpaid by a month. Then when trying to deal with Toyota Financial, they couldn't seem to find the over payment anywhere. It has been over a month, and many phone calls to Bill Pay at the bank, and to Toyota Financial. They first couldn't find the fax information that the bank forwarded to them about the over payment then they said they couldn't find the money. Then after another fax, they claimed they did find the money and would repay within 48 hours.

    No money was received within that time period. Another call to Toyota Financial, and a representative (always a different one) said because of the holidays, it would be slow. It is a week now after the 48 hours, and no refund is forthcoming. When I look online at the account we had at Toyota Financial, everything has been deleted, so no record is available of any account for us ever existing there.

    I have bought about 3-4 Toyota Corollas. I know over the years that Toyota's quality has gone down significantly, but this is the first time I had to deal with the mishandling of customer information with Toyota Financial. And I have had to deal with this situation for over a year. This is not a company I ever want anything else to do with. I registered my car in Texas, as I am in Phoenix just to go to school. When I registered I gave them my Texas address. However, somehow they had one of my Phoenix addresses on file. I called them to change my address. They assured me that the address change had taken place. For some time my bills went to the correct Texas address. Then randomly my bills stopped. So I called them and they told me they had my Phoenix address on file. I asked them how could that be as I did not provide that to them.

    They just kept repeating that is what they had on file and there was nothing they could do about it. So I told them to change it back to the original Texas address that I had provided them with when I registered my car, and make a note of it, so I wouldn't have to deal with this problem again. For a few months it went to the right Texas address, and then again the bills stopped. I had to deal with this situation anywhere from 4-8 times. I lost track because I have had to deal with this situation for so long. I asked to speak to a supervisor regarding this situation, because I was afraid I was going to have problems getting my title. They assured me I didn't need to talk to a supervisor and that my problem was fixed. Then without my knowledge Toyota Financial closed out my account on May 8th, even though they did not send out my title till July 28th and I still kept getting bills from them.

    Well again I got worried, so on May 29th, I called them to complain about the address situation and told them to make sure that they have my Texas address on file, so I can have my title sent to my Texas address. And I told them to have someone call me and follow up with me. No one ever called back and they just simply closed down my account with the wrong address. It is September and I am still have issues getting my title because of their foul up. And now they are telling me there is nothing they can do. I am just out of luck. It is my mess I have to deal with. They did not take my complaints seriously, and they never did anything to alleviate my situation.

    I was not in any manner compensated for my time and stress in dealing with this situation. There was never any kind of courtesy calls from them. They just took my money, and made a mess of things. They were not sympathetic. One time the respondent even hung up on me.

I had the car professionally detailed before handing it in (both inside and out) and had a complete understanding of the rules used to determine "excessive wear". I had a representative of the dealership inspect the car unofficially and he assured me that this car was in fine shape.

    Now 3 1/2 months after the fact I am being charged $406.00 for no good reason and with no recourse. When I called TFS they listened and said. "Sir, can I help you pay this bill by phone this evening?" I will pay the bill in full in the morning, by check, to protect my credit. But I will never step into a Toyota Dealership again in my life.

As a trustee to a recently deceased father who had leased a vehicle I was required to have either his social security number, VIN of the car or the account number for the lease. I had none of those and when prompted on the directory tree to say "Something Else" - it immediately responded with "Thank You - Goodbye" and hung up. No "0" default to an operator worked. The internet behaved in the same manner - impossible to make contact in this situation. There just is no way to reach somebody there unless you have an account. I had to find a number via online to contact corporate headquarters. That was a lengthily as well to get a hold of a live person. They immediately punched me into guess what?

    I called corporate again. I asked them to send to me a live person. The Live Person then asked me the same questions that the directory tree. It was if nobody could comprehend that I did not have their required information and they felt stumped. I asked, can't you JUST LOOK UP HIS FRICKIN NAME? Well then they wanted information all about me, my relationship, my phone number, the location of the car, etc. Finally I asked, when do I get to speak to somebody about this vehicle that I either want to buy or just turn in? Placed on hold for about 5-6 minutes and got to someone. Again a lot of the same questions. I guess they don't communicate with each other. The buyout was just way too complicated so I did option #2 and dropped car off at the same dealership my dad had done the lease with. That was an exercise in patience. Waiting for an hour before I finally sat down with someone. Turned in my keys etc.

Half the time they send the payment back with no good reason, or they just apply it towards the next month's payment. And they do this after I followed their instructions on making principal payments. Toyota Financial Services customer's service is a joke. They either do not know or they just do not care, and they seem unable to resolve any issue. I can usually get the principal payments correctly applied by getting on the phone with them, but it can take over a month for this to happen.

    Then I have to call again after couple of months to make sure they are applying the payments correctly, even though I followed their instructions. I would like to go online to see if my principal payments are being correctly applied, but they tell me that you cannot see principal payments online.

It appeared to me that they were not going to talk to me regarding this matter.

    Toyota Financial Services does not live up to the terms of the lease agreement in regards to lease termination practices. Specifically, when Toyota disposes of your returned vehicle they are required to provide you with financials associated with it. You should not have to find this out from a debt collection agency.

On the morning of July 6, 2015, my 06 Toyota 4Runner was repossessed from my driveway. I thought it was stolen. I called the police 3 times (a full week) before they told me it had been repossessed by Atlantic Recovery. My loan was almost completely paid off. Toyota did not send me the required 21 day notice required by MA consumer protection law, prior to them seizing my vehicle. I have called Toyota & spoke with a Nicole and she told me the 21 day letter was the tow company's responsibility but I was also told they sent a letter to my father's address. I have not at that address in over 20 years. The house was sold a long time ago.

    I had spoken with Toyota prior to this conversation in regards to my payoff amount. I was told it was $5,000. I disagreed & wanted to dispute their amount, because there were only 3 payments left to be made and the 6 year loan would be paid in full. I requested that they mail the original contract & documents. They did not send anything. It has been 18 days since they illegally repossessed my truck & still Toyota has not sent the 10 day notice required by law informing me of my rights as to how to cure & retrieve my vehicle. I spoke with the tow company. Bob, he told me my front plate was ripped off & it is going up for auction July 26th. I have spoken with an attorney but I do not want to file bankruptcy. I do not want a repossession on my credit. I want my 4Runner back. I have had anxiety & insomnia for weeks. It is very frustrating to know that my rights as a consumer have been violated & to watch as they continue to be everyday.

    Toyota believes they are above state & federal laws. They make their own laws. I am just one person. And when you are not rich you do not have a voice. Making every attempt I can possibly think of to stop Toyota from trampling over me & the laws set up to protect me. But so far and my fear is that I will never be heard. For socio-economic reasons I do not have any rights as a person. Thank you Toyota from day one on the Toyota dealerships lot and taking my money every month for 6 years then stealing my car to resell it. (Less)

    Bought a 06 Toyota XA four years ago and financed it for 5 years. Was to be paid off in 2016. However, with no late payments I paid it off 12 months early thinking I would save some money. OH, No No No. They just take the over-payments OFF the next payment, NOT THE PRINCIPAL, so you never pay down the principal even if you request it. Oh, and it is simple interest loan??? Never again will I finance anything with Toyota Financial Services! They are NOT Toyota, and Toyota dealerships are not involved with them at all, only use them for financing so ask for any other company or bank.

    Sure enough, when I ask for a printout of the payment history, there it was - nothing ever paid to the principal on the overpayments! They are a crafty bunch, thinking no one can figure out what they are doing. So DO NOT let your salesperson say, "just pay over every month and pay it off early." They lie unknowingly or so the dealership told me. Who knows??? Bend over with the KY.

    I called TFS six weeks ago because I have a buyer who wants to take over my lease and needed their help with the process. I had to wait two weeks for them to "process" the paperwork that had to be sent via USPS. They couldn't email it to me nor could I download the application (too logical, I assume). Once the buyer FINALLY received the paperwork, he overnighted them the application. They supposedly sent a rejection letter (which he never receive because they failed to include his apt. #) saying that they needed more documentation and he needed to fill out ANOTHER application and send it back to them with the new documentation. This is still ongoing... And I can't speak to a supervisor because they don't allow incoming calls. How convenient... FOR THEM.

    I am the Power of Attorney for my Dad. Everything was fine until my Dad became ill, and is now in a rehabilitative/nursing home. Anyways, I asked Toyota for a two-month extension and even though my Dad is gravely ill, they refused. I have been trying to make payments and have made a few this year. I asked for an extension due to my Father's illness and my lack of hours at work, but they refused and did not give me a reason! Now I said I could make a payment Friday, but they were threatening to repo my car.. I have tried to make payments and get one extension, but they will not help? What is my recourse. What else can I do?

    I sent an insurance check to Toyota Financial Services in Cedar Rapids, IA to get endorsed over a month ago. They lost my insurance check. They say it was because they had the wrong address on my account but in Truth someone keyed in the wrong address when the check was being returned. They have mailed me many items over the last four years and they have always had the correct address. They of course are not willing to take any responsibility for this stating that I had given the wrong address. According to the post office the letter would have been returned but they insist they never received the check in the return mail. Of course they do not have the "capability" to check the mail room to see if the check is there. In truth they just do not care enough to check it. It's not their check and they could care less.

    I finally spoke to an alleged manager but along the way I spoke to ever increasing snippy, arrogant customer non-service representatives. Even if you have to pay a point or two more interest I strongly suggest you do not do business with Toyota Financial Services. They are useless if you have an issue. They refuse to accept any responsibility. They have no empathy, despite the fact that they caused a problem depriving me of a check for over a month.

    I purchased my Toyota in 2006 and had it paid off a few years ago. I am now trying to sell the car but I lost the title for it. A week ago I submitted a request to have Toyota send me a Lien release form as I had a buyer for the car. I was told this was a very common request they get and would process it right away. I was originally told it would be sent within 24 hours. I called back 2 days later and was told they were still processing the request as they don't actually send them out immediately, they send out the forms in the order the requests are received.

    I got the form almost a week later. The release form I received had my car's information and my information as the owner and was even notarized. The problem was the Title Clerk never signed the document. So I had to call Toyota Financial Services again to have another document sent out to me. This has been a very irritating experience and I have decided, because of the incompetence I've dealt with, I will not purchase another Toyota again.

    I bought my car in December 2014 and had my first billing statement in January but it was not due until early February. I paid my bill on time. Since the first billing statement I have not received a billing statement before my payment was due. I receive calls about my late payments from a call center in a different state every month. They told me I should set up a secondary payment plan. In order to pay online you need the last four of your SSN and the computer kept telling me it was wrong and no one on the phone ever offered to fix it. They have an app but not everyone has a smart phone. You can also make payments over the phone, but I get too mad at them to stay on the phone long enough.

    I have expressed all these to customer service and they tell me I "don't understand the problem." The problem is you never send my statement on time and none of your secondary options work for me! One lady told me the car should be reminder enough I have a payment. I already know I have a payment! The car doesn't tell me the monthly amount due or hand me a pre addressed envelope with a statement to make sure my check goes to the right account. Another customer service rep told me they are not required to send out billing statements they only do it monthly out of courtesy.

    If they are still sending them out monthly why am I not receiving them? I'm sure we can all agree the USPS is not always the most reliable but based on the reviews of others it's Toyota not sending out statements. I recently moved out of my parents and filled out the form on the back of a statement to change my address along with filling out the USPS change of address. Toyota didn't change my address in their system for 2 months. I figured if they didn't change it 1. My parents would have the bill on their mail or 2. The bill would show up at my house with the yellow change of address sticker. My over all review is screw Toyota Financial Services. They will ruin your credit.

    I was a very loyal customer - always made my payments on time for 3 and half years now... So I bought my car after my lease was up. First thing went wrong they held my bill of sale from me for TWO WEEKS!!! I can go on and on how bad that is and was also for my insurance company. Second it took them THREE WEEKS to send my TITLE to me. Every time I receive a statement in the mail I pay it right away... how am I getting charged late fees. They said I owed $345.55 in late charges... I had to show proof of my bank statements when the check was dated and when it was mailed and finally when they deposited my check... NO LIE!!! Every time it was way before the due date... my due date for every payment is the 22nd!!! They received their payment way before the 22nd!!!

    DON'T even get me started on the customer service. They all barely can even speak English and are all rude.. I hate complaining like this but really.. TFS already rob millions of people in payments. TOYOTA FINANCIAL SERVICES is the worst financial institution in the U.S. history. TFS must be complained on TV media for all TFS clients to know about the truth. I will never ever ever mark my word do business with you again!!!

    I have purchased Toyota Camry 2012 from Toyota financial in March 2015. Bank of America is my lien holder as this car was on lease. Now even though Toyota got the full payment of the car they are not sending my title of the vehicle. I have tried to contact them several time and they always tell me different things. Last month, they sent me the Power of Attorney of the vehicle but DMV didn't accept that so again I was not able to register car in DMV. I called them again and talked to ** and she told me that now it would take only a week but, I still didn't receive that. For future reference she provided me her extension as I was having hard time again to explain situation different persons but when I called them again to find out, I was told that extension doesn't exist. So, I think ** was lying to me.

    Now today on 06/09 I was on call for 20 minutes and didn't get any satisfying answer. Then, she told me that she will transfer me to Resolution department and she hang up on me. Furthermore, I got the notice from Bank Of America that I am supposed to send them a title copy as well as I need to register vehicle to DMV as BOA as lien holder. But, I can't do anything as I am still waiting for title. Really frustrated with Toyota Financial Services.

    I purchased a vehicle two months ago. I received my first statement from TFS about two weeks later, and paid it with no problem. I have yet to receive my next Billing Statement, so I called TFS. The first person who answered the phone told me that his computer system was down and that I would need to call back. Ummm... Two questions... Why did you answer if there is nothing you can do? Why can't you just transfer me to someone else?

    So, I called back. Second person I spoke to completely gave me the run around and blamed everyone but TFS. First, it was "I don't understand what your problem is... We received your payment." I stated that I was trying to pay my NEXT statement. Wouldn't it be nice to only have to make one payment? Second, it was that I shouldn't have received my first statement yet, as it takes 30-45 days for TFS to set up an account, and that the paper I am looking at is not a Billing Statement, but a welcome letter. Well then, please explain to me why it says Billing Statement at the top, and that it has an account number? Also, if we are expected to make our first payment in that 30-45 day window, how can we do that without any information?

    The original person I spoke with when purchasing my vehicle, told me that my first payment would be due on May 11, and that is exactly 45 days out from the date of purchase. Please explain to me how I am supposed to pay my first bill if I don't receive a statement with an account number? Since I was a bit pissed, I asked her if that meant my account number was fake. She stuttered a second, and then said "no, since we received your payment". Again, how is it possible for them to take 45 days to even send me my first bill?

    Now, back to my original reason for calling TFS, why hadn't I received my next bill? Well, according to this gal, it wasn't even generated until the 24th. This date is nearly two weeks later than my previous bill. My assumption at this point is that the first bill was generated the exact day that my account was created, and each subsequent bill will be generated on the 24th. How difficult is that to explain to the customer? Instead, I got that it was impossible for my first statement to have been sent early, and that the reason I still haven't received my current bill is because of the holiday and the post office. Okay, I'm done ranting. I just can't believe that a company could be so incompetent.

He wanted to sell the vehicle but it is difficult to do so without a title. To make matters worse Toyota said they have nothing to do with Toyota Financial. Not only does he still have to pay his insurance while he waits on his title no one at Toyota or Toyota Financial has been any help.

    I purchased a 2013 FRS from a dealership in VA March 2014. I am military so I decided to go with a lease. After giving all of my military information to not only Toyota Financial but the city of where I was stationed, Toyota Financial still charged me for the taxes in that city. They kept telling me that I needed to call the city of Norfolk, which I had done. After 3 months the city of Norfolk said they were unable to come to a solution due to the fact that Toyota Financial services would not call them back. Toyota financial claimed they had not received any information through the city even though the city had given them the tax money back because I was exempt. After 2 months I called back, they had told me even though I am military and the car was not even registered in VA, I was not exempt from these taxes, even after the city had told me I was 100% exempt due to being military.

    They charged me over $600 in taxes for the state of VA, when I had already paid my taxes and tags for the state of MT. Still will not talk to me about this and say that I have a claim filed and it's in progress after 10 months. I have been making payments on this account since March of 2014 which is when I had purchased the vehicle. I have PROOF of EVERY single payment except one which they will not except because it had come out of my mother's account. They have been dinking my credit for being a month behind on ALL of my payments, my payment due date is the 5th of every month, while my payments have been sent out on the 4th of every month from my BANK, they are still considering it late because it does not post to the account until around the 7-9th of every month.

    And now I have over $1400 in late fees?! This is ridiculous. While I have proof of all of my payments being on time and even recorded phone calls, the credit bureau would not accept my bank statements or check statements and have it removed from my credit score. I will now be filing a lawsuit due to the fact that my credit is ruined and they are very rude and unwilling to help.

    After being in an accident and having bad information from an insurance company given to TFS in November; I've had nothing but issues with TFS since. I have made EVERY payment on time. And due to an error that was NOT my fault I'm still dealing with a December payment to TFS made over the phone that has NOT been applied to my account. So for the last four months TFS has been sending me letters and constant collection phone calls for a payment that was made 4 months AGO. They see the payment sitting in limbo (I've heard this for months) but they can't seem to get the appropriate department to release the payment. NOT MY PROBLEM!!! I'm tired of having to call EVERY week with no results.

    I WILL NEVER USE TFS FOR A LOAN EVER!!! And to boot; I work for a Toyota dealer. TFS customer service cares more about asking for your account #, your home address, your phone #s for your home, work, and cell (so they can call and falsely harass you for payments you don't owe), telling you the last payment you made, etc. that they care about getting the issue resolved. I have wasted at least many many hours of my life over the last few months repeating myself over and over and over with no results. I will purchasing anything other than a Toyota the next time I need a vehicle.

    I Bought a Camry from Toyota Wappingers DCH about four months ago. Long story short, I got in to a total loss accident! Once that happen it's like Toyota didn't want anything to do with me. The problem now is that I wanted to get a replacement car ASAP. They had given me a 6% interest rate, but now the best they can do is 13 to 18%!! WTF, all my payments were on time. So they definitely just care about the sale. Once that's over they don't care! Let me see. I took out a $20,000 loan in four months they got their money from my Geico insurance. I needed another loan for $20,000, so that's $40,000 dollars they would have got from me in the same amount of time! Toyota of Wappingers and their whole Toyota Financial should take care of their loyal customers.

    We purchased two cars from Toyota. One which was paid in full, the second had 4 payments left. Unfortunately a lay off occurred with only 4 payments left on the car. First problem was when he called for extension to be sent to him, they sent it to his old address and in late December found this and faxing it to them ASAP. We were not advised that they could not do any extensions and thought it had gone through. It was his intention to be able to pay the 4 months in April when his first pension check would arrive, which he also told them on the phone and they said they also made the notation in their system.

    We had also asked if we could make smaller payments until that time, but we were told NO they don't do that. Not sure what good extension did as we now learn that a delinquency has been posted to our credit history. When we learned of that we called them and were told there is nothing they could do for us as they can't file extensions past original maturity date. I was told that once we pay it off we could then go to the credit agency to file information with them. So now on top of everything else a good credit history is being tarnished because of a hardship. We were not asking them to forgive the debt but just extension. All we kept getting on the phone was there was nothing they could do for us. After paying them $36,000 for $1,000 in debt I find their resolution services a bit antiquated in the way they work with their customers.
