I hope I read all these reports before I applied or Capital One Auto Loan...

Here's the Story...

3 weeks ago I traded in my rare car for a newer car... long story short, I had a preapproved loan with the amount on the blank check provided. After 1 1/2 weeks Porsche dealer called me that the check from Capital One had bounced. I have the preapproval document and check. I called capital one and told me that they need my income docs, so I said ok, i faxed it to them, then a week later all of a sudden they cant do a loan for me, and refuses to say why. I have a good credit score and high income.

So now, the car that I traded is sold, I'm stuck with a car that the trade in value is $10, 000 less than what I owe plus taxes, the good thing is the dealer is on my side, and wanted to call Capital One and they said they will have them buy the car for giving me a bogus approval or else, Porsche vs. Capital One.

I hope they get what they deserve, after reading all the comments here, I called my attorney as well, we are giving them until Friday to make it right, after that. all hell breaks loose. suckers!

I have had a similar situation. I applied for the blank check & after submitting all required documents I received an email congratulating me on my approval. I went to the dealership a week later & purchased a vehicle. I have had the vehicle for over a month and have now been told that they can't approve me and will not give an explanation. I now have to hope the dealership can get me financing or I will have to return the car. The dealership even called on the day I purchase & got approval for the check. All Capital One will say is sorry just return the car, even when my other car has been sold. BIG RIPOFF AND VERY BAD CUSTOMER RELATIONS. I will never finance with capital one again. I am cancelling my credit cards with them and changing my checking, savings and CD's with Capital One Bank

I'm in the exact same situation.

I received the online confirmation for a used car loan through Capital One on a Thursady and ordered the "blank check". I read all of the available information on their website to search for "fine print", and I couldn't find anything unusual. So, on Saturday, I go to the dealership, pick out my vehicle, trade in my old car, and drive my truck home. I promised the dealership that I would return with the "blank check" when it arrived in the mail.

After reading all of the extra stipulations found in my "loan packet", I noticed that the LTV "Loan to Value" ratio was too high because of some negative equity on my trade in. I called Capital One to see if I could apply for a new loan, or a different type of loan to cover the new amount, and the simple answer was "No, we cannot give you a loan." I couldn't talk to a supervisor or work out anything with the representative on the phone. Their customer service is absolutely horrible. I think the online process is terribly misleading, and that ALL requirements should be communicated up front.

The car I traded in has been sold. The dealership already paid the remaining balance on the loan for my old car, so now I am at the mercy of the dealership. I called Citibank who I have my mortgage, old auto loan, and a large credit card with, and they said that I couldn't apply for an auto loan personally, I had to go to a dealership and have them apply for me.

I am so disgusted with banks. We should have never bailed them out - they should have went out of business for poor management and poor business practices.

I had the EXACT same LTV fine print problem happen to me just two days ago.

My wife's car kicked the bucket and it was time to pick out a slightly
used vehicle to replace it with. We both have great credit (800+) and after
doing some reading, I decided to apply for financing through Capital One.

I was approved immediately and sent a blank check. We then rounded up
as much of a down pmt that we could on such short notice, and managed to
scrounge up close to $4, 000. This was for a 2007 SUV, mind you. Nothing fancy.

Our down pmt bumped the total amount needed down toa $11, 000 over 60 months, at an APR of 5.74.
We could live with that... however...

Imagine my surprise when we get held up in the financing area
of the dealership and we're then told that according to the fine print,
Capital One has only agreed to finance 90% of the vehicle's worth!!!

I'm told in order to purchase the vehicle, we need to come up
with another $2, 000 out of pocket.

WHAT THE F*CK?!?!?!?!?!

Why wouldn't they provide that information UP FRONT?

It's a good thing the dealership was willing to get us the same rate
through someone else!!!

I've paid off 3 car loans in my lifetime, all on time. Perfect credit...
but to Capital One, that didn't matter.

TAKE NOTE!

MAKE SURE you check the LTV fine print before you go and assume
that Capital One Auto Financing will help you so easily. Perfect credit or not.

Pass the word around - SCAM ARTISTS!!!

How true. No more long distance loans for me either. Rather pay 3 % more and deal with an HONEST local bank.

Capital One Auto Finance contacted me and asked me to join there direct pay program, which I did I was informed that all late charges will stop, and I don't have to worry about trying to get a stamp to mail off the payment, sense I joind the direct pay program my account is being charged late fees and no one seem to be able to help. I have been receiving twenty calls a day Capital one. even after I told them I have letters staing that my account is up to date and all the late fees will stop upon joing the program, now it's a different story when you join late fees are being place on my account and call are coming to my house twenty times a day. Don't Capital one auto influence you on joing any of there scams
