I highly highly caution anyone considering doing business with Roadrunner Financial for any reason at all if negative stars were allowed I would have given -100. They are a scam predatory lending "company". They will force you to sign up for auto payments from your bank account set for a particular day. If you make a payment early their system is set up to not take note of the payment and still withdraw an additional payment on the day that was set up, thus making double payments for the same month. Now that you have made an additional payment they will take majority of both payments and apply it to the interest rather than applying the second payment to the principal alone. They will then tell you that you have to go on to the App to reschedule your autopay but all you are doing is setting yourself up to have your account withdrawn twice the next month again. If you have to finance something DO NOT USE THIS COMAPNY!!!!!!Roadrunner Financial Inc. Response

We are in receipt of the consumers BBB complaint dated October 2, 2024. Based on our investigation, we believe that the customer may have a misunderstanding of how our payment process works and the application of payments under the simple interest method. Customers are not required to enroll in auto payments. We have multiple methods by which a customer can pay including online, over the phone or by mail. As disclosed when the consumer signed up for auto pay, our automatic payments will continue to draft every month unless they notify us otherwise in advance of the payment date. In the current situation, the customer never advised us to terminate the auto pay payment at any time. In regard to the amounts being paid to interest and not principal, all accounts accrue interest under the simple interest method. Therefore, payments are applied first to accrued interest and then to principle. If a payment is made late or if no payment is made for an extended period of time, there will be more interest accrued on the account, and therefore more of the next payment would go toward interest. In the present case there was a gap in between his July and October payments, therefore more interest accrued and thus the payments in October was applied more to interest. The customer made 2 payments in July of which the majority of the 2nd payment went to principal. If the customer wishes to make payment towards principal, they would just need to pay the outstanding interest for that month and the balance of any payment would go directly to principal. Otherwise, based on the review of the customers account we have identified that all payments were applied correctly. Should the customer have further questions, he is free to contact our customer service department to discuss the matter further.Review from Sandre E

I caution anyone considering doing business with Roadrunner Financial, especially if you are looking to finance a vehicle. My experience with them has been nothing short of disappointing and frustrating.I financed a motorcycle through Roadrunner Financial, and unfortunately, the vehicle was stolen. My insurance covered the value of the motorcycle at the time of theft, but there remained a balance that I assumed *** insurance would cover. To my dismay, I later discovered that the *** insurance sold to me by Roadrunner Financial was provided by iA ************************ which turned out to be completely inadequate.It became apparent that this so-called *** policy was not worth the paper it was printed on. Instead of providing the necessary coverage, it left me with unexpected expenses and a considerable financial burden. This experience has left me deeply dissatisfied and disillusioned with Roadrunner Financials practices.My advice to potential customers is to exercise extreme caution. *********************** choice of insurance providers, such as iA ************************ appears dubious at best. Their lack of transparency and failure to deliver on promised protections underscore a concerning lack of integrity.Save yourself the headache and financial risk. Do not trust Roadrunner Financial with your financing needs, especially if they continue to peddle subpar insurance products from questionable providers like iA American Warranty Group.No reply is necessary from Roadrunner Financial, as their empty apologies hold no value in rectifying the harm caused by their deceitful practices.Roadrunner Financial Inc.

I will never use this company for financing again and will warn friends and family to stay away. I am being punished for paying off my loan early. The first person I spoke with said it would take 3-5 days for the lien to be removed, but when I went to the **** the lien was still there. The second person I spoke with then said it takes 10 days, here it is day 11 and lien still there.Despite having made my final payment, with the funds cleared from my account, the lien has still not been removed. The representative I spoke with said she would put in a request for the lien to be removedwhy does this even need to be requested? You have my money, and it has been 11 days.I highly recommend staying away from this company.Roadrunner Financial Inc. Response

If I could give 0 stars, I would. Horrible customer service, wasn't notified that a payment was reversed (for no known reason and I have notifications via email, phone and text setup) and they charged late fees and additional interest while I was trying to pay the loan off. The payment was supposedly reversed days ago, so additional $47 interest and a late fee tacked on without notification after the reversal. The only way I knew about it was because the funds weren't taken out of my bank account. I tried to talk with a customer service rep and said they will not return that money because it's not "what they do". Corrupt way to do business, if you ask me.Roadrunner Financial Inc. Response

Hi *******, We are sorry to hear that you were dissatisfied with our services. We did look into this matter and see that you did try to make a payment via our online portal. From what we can tell the information provided for your bank account was incorrect and the payment was returned. Upon learning of the returned payment, we did contact you by text and see that you were able to speak with our agent about the situation. Looking at your account it appears your issue was then subsequently resolved. Again, we are sorry that you are displeased with our service, but are happy to discuss any further questions you may have. Please feel free to reach out to us at ****************************************** or call us at ************ and ask for the Operations Servicing Manager - Customer Engagement, if you would like to discuss this matter further. Please reference your ****** review. Thank you, the Roadrunner Financial **************** TeamReview from Anthony F

We are in receipt of the consumers dispute regarding the handling of his account and are sorry that he had a bad experience with our company. We have completed a thorough review of his account and the circumstances surrounding his dispute, however we were unable to find any wrongdoing on the part of our company. Generally, if we are unable to reach a customer we make attempts to reach them through third parties. This is all within and pursuant to applicable laws. We have, however, marked the customer and all related parties on the account as do not call. Therefore, neither the customer nor any person related to them should receive any further calls from our company. If the customer would like to contact us to discuss the matter further, we would encourage him to email us at ****************************************** or contact us by telephone at ************ and ask for the Operations Servicing Manager - Customer Engagement for more information. He should reference his BBB review.Review from Ramon O

I would not recommend acquiring a loan from ************** or DBA Roadrunner Financial. I thought I could refinance my loan and get a better interest rate. This company does not offer refinancing their website. I have not missed any payments or been late on any of my payments for almost a year. Their Octane website is very generic, making finding contact information challenging. ******* your decision to use this company. Use a more reputable lender, someone you can contact easily if you have questions. You will regret using Roadrunner Financial for your financial needs. This is predatory lending; hopefully, they will get investigated for their business practices. READ THE REVIEWS!! Apologies after the fact do not make it easier. The first indication is THEY ARE NOT ACCREDITED with THE BBB!!!!! I hope this helps anyone to make a decision not to use them. It's like quicksand. Once you're in, you will drown slowly.Roadrunner Financial Inc. Response

If I could rate less, I would!! This company is trying to charge me for 20 years to get this loan paid off when I only signed for a 6 year loan! This is insane. None of this was explained to me when I applied. I have had this loan for a year making $560 payments, and my loan only went down not even $1000! This is ROBBERY.Roadrunner Financial Inc. Response

We are sorry to hear the customer is dissatisfied with our company. However, the way our contracts are written any payments made on the contract first goes toward paying down the outstanding finance charges (Interest) and then any additional monies goes directly to principal. If a customer wishes make any additional payment to principal they can make payment larger then their regularly scheduled payment and any excess amount will be attributed to principal. Regardless of when a payment is made, the loan will accrue interest on a daily basis as is standard in any simple interest contract. Unfortunately our system does not accommodate the ability to make a principal only payment separate and apart from our standard payment application waterfall as referenced above.
