Westlake Financial Services Company is extremely vile and harassing. No moral compass & anti american

This company is thee most harassing, demeaning, non compassionate and anti american as nancy pelosi & the vatican! All they care about is money money money profits and money. Screw thee american people and healthcare workers that were fired for standing up for our medical & civil rights! This company has been rude and demanding threatening to sell my car for double what its worth and charge me more than what I owe on it (whatever they sell it for plus remainder of what I owe) alias was very cold & non compassionate. Shouldn't finance companies have some sort of protocol for pandemics and natural disasters?! A little compassion and understanding goes a lot farther than harrasing calls and threats to hard working blue collar americans who's entire lives & businesses were destroyed by the "plandemic"! Mabey a weekly payment plan bi-monthly payment anything besides paying off the entire loan in full upfront or 4k in order to release the car etc.. Americans were screwed by our own government and we're trying to get back on our feet & this company is refusing to work with we the people! We're asking for a helping hand up not a hand out you p.O. S.! I bet this company is owned by the chinese communist party! Absolutely disgusted with these pieces of "human" waste! Class action lawsuit is what I see in my "crystal ball".

Desired outcome: RE-WRITE CONTRACT NEGOTIATE PAYMENT AMOUNTS & SCHEDULE UNDER UNUSUAL HARDSHIPS & CIRCUMSTANCES SURROUNDING THE PANDEMIC/RECESSION.

Westlake Financial Services Service lack of customer service

They are really rude especially the men and a man named Richard Paz. I don't get any help with my account I wish I never had to deal with this company! They talk at you instead of to you I can't look up my account because they're telling me I can when I'm telling them it's reading my old account and isn't letting me sign in etc... This company can use better customer service training I'm so uncomfortable when calling I'm never satisfied when having to call them every time I ask for any information it's always someone giving me a hard time for nothing very unprofessional I'll give them a negative 5 stars!

Westlake Financial Services Automobile loan

My X husband used my credit at a shady truck dealership in Carrollton TX to buy for himself a truck. He took my information and was allowed by the salesman at the dealership to FORGE my signature. I have been fighting for OVER a year to have this vehicle removed from my credit report. I have file two police reports on this matter. No one at the bank is willing to even listen to me with out speaking over me an hanging up on me. I have made multiple attempts to speak to management. I have been told by staff at the bank that there is nothing they can do about it. I'm ready to hire an attorney to have this matter settled. This is fraud by my X husband by the dealership by the salesman and by the bank. My driver's license does not even have the same last name as was signed by my X husband.

Desired outcome: I want the vehicle removed from my credit report!!

Westlake Financial Services Credit reporting and refund

I paid my loan off with Westlake in 12/2021 by trading in my car and purchasing a new one. They were sent the payoff check and there was an excess of $314.92 due to me that I have been chasing down for 2 months and still have not received it. I have also asked them MULTIPLE times to update with the credit bureaus to show my account paid in full, however, still showing open. This is the WORST finance company I have ever worked with. When I traded in my car and purchased a new one - Westlake was an option for financing and I am so glad that I chose not to continue with them. I feel like customer service DOES NOT CARE and you can reach no one in a corporate role to help with the situation. I will tell EVERYONE that I know not to do business with Westlake - I would pay a 50% interest rate before ever financing with them again!

Desired outcome: My refund NOW and my credit report updated showing account paid off & closed.

I agree they're are very nasty with bad attitudes no one listens just yall over you. A man named Richard Paz was so rude and disrespectful. They have yet to fix my account I can't look up my account my social doesn't exist in the computer this is the worst company to deal with I'll be glad when I don't have to deal with them ever again! Btw I'm owed 362.00 for a vehicle I paid for that was no longer in my possession and they refuse to look into it and keep telling me the dealer owed me that reimbursement which was an absolute lie. I believe some people are reading off a paper and don't know their job!

Good morning staff,

I have called on four different occasions, regarding the "title" of my 2011Toyota Avalon, the poor customer service excuses i received was, the company did not have my apartment number, which I have supplied to the company on four occasions Apt#2098. This company poor customer service indicating to me, it will take 7 to 10 business days to received the title to my car.

It is now four months , help me "understand" Westlake Financial Services, when you apply for loan, dose that not required a address, I've been at the same address for six years now. Westlake Company cannot denied the cashiers check, because the company cash the check. "Where is the Title to my car" I want answers not excuses. This company should be sending me my title to Sylvia Price

770 West Lone Mountain Road Apt2098 North las Vegas , NV 89031 Please!

Desired outcome: Please send the title to my 2011 Toyota Avalon with a paid off letter to:Ms. Sylvia Price770 West Lone Mountain RoadApt 2098North Las Vegas, NV 89031

Westlake Financial Services Auto loan

My car lot sold my financing to this company after having sold it 3x prior, I have been paying off since a payment on Jan 4th of $100, Jan 22nd $100, Jan 29th $250, and today feb 5th $150, and throughout all of these payments the balance being quoted to me continues to increase. Before the stated payments my payoff balance was $2042 and some change, today it is quoted at $2054 and at one point mid January it was up to $2069 despite my payments. After familiarizing myself with their methods, they avoid answering any questions, they NEVER send me a receipt for payment, and despite contacting them multiple times today asking to speak with a supervisor I was presented with a statement that quoted my own payments which I have through my bank statement instead of a ledger of my balance and payment ratio. There is something very wrong about this and I refuse to make another payment until this is fully resolved. After speaking with "Vanessa" multiple times when I called back after she sent the useless report suddenly they were closed for business at 10:30 pst suddenly...

Desired outcome: I want full disclosure of all payment history, balance in direct comparison with said payments and an allocation of funds for each dollar paid. I want to see licensing for their businesses and their right to do business in the US.

Westlake Financial Services Deferred payment

I requested a deferred payment on December 11, 2021 I am still trying to find out if it is approved. I called back 3 times just to have to pay $55 to get a deferred payment and she said call back this afternoon to see if you are approved. What I can't afford to give them extra $55 for nothi. My car needs repairs that $55 could have went toward auto shop. Now when I call back I know they won't know nothing just took extra cash. We are senior citizens on fixed income. We had a 2015 kia soul financed with them before this car no deferred payment request and was paid off. Guess being a previous customer don't mean nothing. So irritated with calling and being told bull crap

Desired outcome: Just get December payment deferred with no mix up on getting repoed

Westlake Financial Services Refund my money

I made a payment on 11/5/21 in hopes that i will not be reported to the credit bureau and it affect my credit score, and when my insurance company also send in a check, they will refund my money back to me. The insurance company sent a check on the 11/16/2021. The check has been cleared, and Westlake financial has received the money. I called on 11/17/21, a customer service agent told me to give it 2 weeks, i will receive my refund. I called back today and spoke to 3 different people all telling me different things. One person told me i will not receive my money back because Westlake has it now, then the other 2 told me to give it 21 days.
Dec 7th is the 21st day. I will call back, if they refuse to send back my money, what can i do? because it would mean they have been paid twice. once by me, and then my insurance.

Desired outcome: I need my refund check sent to me. They can not be paid twice!! That is THEFT!!!

Westlake Financial Services Vehicle I am financing

10/07/2021
client #?

All I asked was for my financing to be stopped and you come pick up my vehicle because the lot I bought my vehicle off of is the ones responsible for what is wrong with it. I about wrecked and killed me and my 5 children because of what they done. I thought I was buying a decent vehicle but I didn't they sold me a lemon. They fixed my vehicle up enough to sell it obviously. They knew I would be putting 5 children in it and they still sold me a really messed up car. I have had problems out of it the whole year I have had it and can't get any help from you all or the lot I bought it from. I had to take it back and get it fixed the first week I bought it and they took my money and didn't fix it they just welded the wheel bearing's and emergency breaks together and I didn't know it. I have put way more money in this vehicle than it is worth. They told me they don't do refunds or go buy the lemon law and that is really messed up especially knowing how many children I have. I can't even get help through Westlake Financial when I had nothing to do with what is even wrong with it when the car lot is the reason is it messed up. I just don't understand how someone can be so cold hearted and won't help when I am the one that got the crappy end of the deal. I would at least like to have my money back and someone come and get the vehicle. At least understand what had happened and be reasonable and come get the car and not make me pay or mess with my credit for something I have to suffer for thanks to the car lot. 1 hour auto is a joke and none of their vehicles are reliable. If someone will get back ahold of me I can send photos of what happened to my vehicle.

Westlake Financial Services Charges charged at payoff

I canceled gap coverage a few days before I refinanced my car with capital one finance. Westlake charged the full 5 year premium to capital one before they would settle the account and send the title. I contacted westlake requesting a refund for the over charge cause as we know when the loan is paid off gap coverage ends. So why did westlake charge me for the next 4 years when the loan was paid off 4 years early? I only had the loan for one year with westlake. I should not have been charge the additional 4 years! I am owed $342.03. Since this is how business is done I am glad I moved my loan!

Desired outcome: Refund $342.03

Westlake Financial Services Tracy Bergiman - you're too old dude! It's time to retire!!

Received a phone call from Tracy Bergiman
Director of Compliance at Westlake Financial Services
Los Angeles Metropolitan Area and he was laughing at the fact that I asked for a goodwill forgiveness for a late payment on my already paid off car that I financed from Westlake. I explained to him that I had a major medical issue that unfortunately I had to take care of and is the reason why I was late on paying my car payment and how I was never late again that in fact I had paid off my car loan 3 years early by making several $2000 payments when I had the money and doing this was a sacrifice I made in order to make good on my loan so I could get rid of my car payments just in case I got sick again. Tracy Bergiman just laughed like a girl and said it was to bad that all this happened to me but there was nothing he could do. Having had a late payment, it really screwed up my credit and it will for the next 7 years. Tracy Bergiman is a very evil old man who truly enjoys it when others are suffering and in pain. The fact that there was nothing I could do about it, I think gave him a power rush. His laughter and complete lack of empathy was so perverse, it was sickening. He is a true psychopath. I am a true believer in the law of attraction and from what I experienced thru this whole ordeal that I went thru in life, I hope Tracy Bergiman of Westlake Financial gets what he is owed and if he does it's gonna be real bad... Oh well Tracy, your just gonna have to deal with whatever karma brings your way. Sorry Tracy but there isn't anything anyone can do for you once karma comes around for you. Your just gonna have to suffer the consequences!
