How many complaints are there against Nationwide Acceptance LLC – NAC?

Absolutely. Here are some Sample Cases against Nationwide Acceptance LLC.

According to information available from the BBB and the CFPB, complaints against Nationwide Raise problems with billing, collections, customer service, and credit reporting. The 7 negative reviews on Nationwide’s BBB profile, several of which describe Nationwide Acceptance as “the worst finance company ever” with the “worst customer service”, support these allegations.

In October 2016, a complainant indicated that Nationwide Acceptance took advantage of his misfortunate after he lost his job, “nearly lost his life”, had several car accidents and became homeless. The complainant alleged that he purchased a car financed by Nationwide after he filed for Bankruptcy. He then lost his job and nearly lost his life, became homeless, was forced to live in his car, and got behind on his car payments. He contacted Nationwide to assure the company that he would make payments. Unfortunately, the complainant was then in a car accident. He contacted his insurance company to have the car repaired, but ultimately realized he could no longer afford the car payments since he had been homeless for almost a year and “needed to keep a roof over his head.” According to the complainant, he advised Nationwide of this and told them to pick up the car after it was repaired. Nevertheless, he “constantly got calls” from Nationwide and was told once Nationwide sold the car he would be responsible for the balance. When the complainant checked his credit, the amount reflected was far more than what could have been due or what the car was worth.

In July 2016, a complainant indicated that he had problems obtaining from Nationwide Acceptance the correct amount he owed to bring his car loan current and that rather than assist him, Nationwide repeatedly called him, denied the substance of the calls, and baited him to complain. The complainant alleged that Nationwide’s website incorrectly calculated his payment due amount. Although Nationwide acknowledged that the website was wrong and that it did not calculate interest correctly when a customer overpays the monthly loan amount, it failed to help the complainant resolve the issue. Instead, Nationwide’s collection department began calling him, mostly from “blocked numbers…” According to the complainant, Nationwide had “hung up on” him and told him the phone calls would not be stopped. In an effort to bring his account current, the complainant called Nationwide two days before his next payment was due, but the Nationwide representative chose only to tell him the amount he “owed for one month instead of two (due to Nationwide’s errors on its website).”Later, when complainant called to correct the problem and bring his account current, he was told that Nationwide had kept “notes” about his earlier calls and that his version “was mistaken.” Nationwide Acceptance  later denied the blocked calls altogether and told him that Nationwide’s “legal team is big and welcomes complaints.”

Nationwide Acceptance NAC 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.
