Absolutely. Here are some Sample Cases against National Auto Lenders Inc.
According to public information available on the BBB profile page for National Auto Lenders and on the CFPB website, consumer complaints against NAL raise issues with harassing and improper communications and collection tactics, customer service, billing, repossessions and credit reporting.
In October 2017, a complainant indicated that National Auto Lenders violated the FDCPA and other laws in its dealings with him in connection with his car loan through NAL. The complainant alleged that he purchased a used car financed through NAL, but that the company “violated the FDCPA by contacting” his references and “threatening them and giving them personal information about his loan” and “illegally repossessed” his car. According to the complainant, he had to hire an attorney, and get the state “used car commission” and the county “auto theft department” to get the car back. He filed a civil lawsuit, but NAL again “illegally repossessed” the car and “quickly sold” it without providing the state-required “grace period” or “offer for redemption” while the civil court proceedings were pending. National Auto Lenders then sold the car for more than he owed, but it did not subtract the proceeds from the amount it claimed he owed.The complainant indicated that the company “is fraudulent.”
In May 2017, a complainant indicated that he continued to receive “an extraordinary amount of phone calls” from National Auto Lenders “trying to collect a debt” owed by someone else even after he notified NAL of this and requested that the calls stop. According to the complainant, he changed his cell phone number and apparently received an old number from someone who owes money to NAL because he then began receiving calls from National Auto Lenders from “several different numbers at least twice a day.” Each phone call begins “as a robocall” that asks the recipient to “press 1” if they are the named person or to “press 2” if they are not. Pressing 2 “causes a disconnect” but the calls continue to occur.The complainant alleged that he looked up NAL on the internet, got its phone number, called and explained that the person National Auto Lenders sought to reach was not at his number, and asked to be taken off NAL’s call list. NAL promised to remove his number from the call list but noted it could take “up to” ten business days. A month later, the complainant was still receiving calls. The complainant indicated that he does “not owe this debt”, does “not know the person who owes this debt” and that the person National Auto Lenders seeks to collect from is not “associated with” his number.

National Auto Lenders NAL Calling You?
Understanding Your Debt Collection Rights
Consumers are protected from abusive debt collectors from the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA). By way of instance, the debt collector must identify himself or herself, who they’re working for, and what debt they’re collecting. The FDCPA claims that debt collectors can’t use any deceptive or misleading representation, like implying the debt is secured by the USA or any particular state. Additionally, they can’t use a badge or uniform to pretend they’re a government employee collecting a debt. Misrepresentation is a violation of the FDCPA and could be reported as such.
In case you’ve been a victim of a debt collector’s wrongdoing, then you can search for justice under the FDCPA. You have the right to pursue a claim against the debt collector; if you prevail, you can collect up to $1,000, plus attorney fees and court costs.
