Shady customer service practices
September 18, 2024

I financed a car through a local dealership on 9/11/24, as I was needing temporary financing until my funds finished transferring to my checking account and I had access to my full funds. The transfer was complete on 9/12/24, so I began calling GLS on a daily basis (on the days they had operating hours) asking to pay off my balance in full. They kept telling me my account was too new and not set up in their system yet, so they could not accept any payment toward my account. They finally finished setting up my account on 9/18/24 and refused to waive the interest I had been charged since 9/12/24. It is not fair or just for them to charge me interest for that period of time when they repeatedly told me they did not have the capacity to accept my payment and essentially kept refusing my payment. They were even supposed to expedite setting up my account since they were aware that I wanted to pay it off ASAP (unlike most customers who are probably just waiting a few weeks until their first monthly payment is due), and it still took them several days to set it up. In addition, when I finally did pay it off, I was told by Ashley from their escalation department that they could only do $5000 per transaction at a time, so I needed to pay in 3 total transactions. It was not until I had already completed the first 2 transactions that she informed me of the 3-day payoff balance to allow time for the payment to process since I was using a bank account, as it takes longer than using a bank card would take. She should have informed me of this prior so I could have decided to use a different payment method and owed a lower balance. I filed a BBB report and I'm requesting that the company refund the interest they charged me from 9/13/24 onward; please note that I asked them directly prior to paying off the balance, and they declined.

A cold heartless company
October 31, 2018

I called to make arrangements for my November car note due to my mother passing and we need to pay for the funeral due to the insurance place only paying some. They told me there nothing that can be done I have ten days after due date to pay it. They are heartless didn't try to help at all. I will never recommend no one to go through them. I just need help and they don't care.

They don't work with you at all, if your late they sending threatening letters. They called my husbands grandma instead of calling him or me to discuss our account! Was short on the note by $25 but didn't know it, could have been an easy fix if they had called to notify us. There website is very glitchy, and doesn't update that you actually paid your note when the payment has been taken from your bank. This is by far the worst loan company I've ever dealt with.
We financed with another company and end up saving $100.00 a month. Stay away if you can.

I haven't had too many issues just how they only extended my car payment by a month after I was on hold for her up ask permission to do so. Weird. I told the lady I'm not working and I'm supposed to go back to work sometime next month because of covid 19

Moved-On
July 19, 2020

I never once had a problem with them however my interest rate was a little higher due to bankruptcy it was 16.93 which the money I have been paying for was going to interest and not the car itself. I refenced with open road landing. I have to say way better interest rate and my car payment was way lower. It seems this company works with people with little to no credit or bad credit. Help this helps.

Horrible Company
September 15, 2023

If you can avoid using them as your lender DO IT. Rude customer service. Not a helping company in the least, if you fall on a hard time it's an act of God if you need a deferment. They will call you at least 4 times a day if you fall behind and if your making payments weekly to catch up you still get the ungodly amount of calls daily. It's an embarrassment trying to do the right thing and get punished for trying so hard to catch up with no help offered.

I had a vehicle financed with this company I thought... drove off the car lot with it after 6 weeks endless, phone calls, faxing the same documents to numerous people none of whom appear very competent, found out my vehicle wasn't financed after all so I had to return it to the dealership. Don't walk RUN very, very fast away from this company! They are idiots & time wasters! On a positive note if you thrive on frustration, stress, things of that nature this may be the perfect company to deal with. Very bad business practices & shenanigans going on here!

Worst possible company on the face of the planet. I made my truck payment with proof that I made it, and the company refuses admit it. I've been dealing with this BS for over a month. They have dinged my credit, lied to my bank, lied to me more than times I can count on both hands, will NOT even Acknowledge any email sent to them, and the staff will literally call you a liar & hand up the phone. They will steal your money and help you look for it. Definitely gonna be hearing from my lawyer.

I had no choice but choosing this lender when I bought my car, but these are the worst people I have ever dealt with. I have NEVER been 25 days late (when they sent it off to credit company) with my payment since April off 2022 and called and asked for an extension to put my current payment at the end of my loan and the girl was SO rude. They have no clue about customer service. The rates are ridiculous. They start hounding you if you are a couple of days behind and if you tell them what date you will be paying they have no clue how to put that in the system. They keep on hounding you 2-3 times a day. In the beginning of my loan I had it set up to be taken out of my checking account. There was something wrong with their system and they ended up charging me TWICE total off $1200! I disputed one of the charges and now they wont let me pay from my checking. Be careful when you pay your payment. ALWAYS make sure you have proof because their system is one of the worst. I love my car but HATE the finance company. Looking to refinance so I dont have to deal with this company EVER AGAIN.

Covid-19 help, not!
March 23, 2020

Advertise that if you were financially affected by COVID-19 that they would help, I live in Washington State where everything is shut down and work is very limited. I asked for an extension/deferment, I got a big no. No help from these jokers. Big corporate cant help in this huge time of crisis, sad, very sad. Terrible business practice. I'm not asking for a handout, just a hand up.

Global has done nothing but give us run around and put all my information out. We missed one payment and they were quick to call family and friends NOT on my contact list for money. So all my family and friends knew I was late on a payment. They also admitted to getting my information through my SOCIAL SECURITY and CREDIT! Which is absurd. Then I finally get my unemployment after 3 months of waiting. They repoed my car and made us go through 5 different numbers just to find out global sent my car to an auction after 3 days of being repoed when I was told I had 15 days before it would go to an auction. The rep Was rude to me and we had paid 2000 and still may not get our car today! I'm very upset and I recommend no one servicing through them. We will be refinancing our car through someone better! Worst company ever. I hope they go bankrupt and all their stocks and businesses fail! Nothing but a bunch of greedy bastards.

Every month my auto-pay fails, although the money is there, I call and their non-existent customer service calls it a "glitch" and magically the next day when my payment is considered late I am able to manually make a payment. I have auto-paid, mailed a check weeks before, called in the payment days before and it always pends until the day after the due date. It is ridiculous. And don't bother calling because apparently, they do not know the reason any more than you do.

Well as you know the whole has been affected by the virus. However I call GLD to notify them that I was affected by this. No tried to help me. All they could say was pay what you can. I told the to come and get the vehicle just let me know when. I will take my things out. It's a shame that they are doing this in a Pandemic. This speaks volume about this company.

The company does not answer, the title department is never available and no one cares to help or follow up, i have not been able to re-register my car, because they have not transferred the title to my name, i was able to speak to them once and all i got from them is that it would take anywhere from 4-6 weeks before the tittle transfers to my name, what should i do, bill them for storage fees? This is ridiculous, the Senior Management is absent and is obvious that they do not care, they are unreachable no one knows who they are in their company or how to contact them. Avoid them even if is the last resource
