AAR Financial I tried to get my account balance but they said I gotta wait 3 biz days for a reply

I tried to get my account balance but they said I gotta wait 3 biz days for a reply. I also wanted to change my banking info but they said I gotta wait for an email from accounting. The account manager couldn't help and hung up on me. I never got an email and no one called me. It's messed up that they can't answer a simple question. They waited for my payment even though I said I changed my account. Customer service don't know anything about my account and just charged me $90 for missed payments. I ain't dealing with them again. I just want the info I asked for 2-3 weeks ago. The account manager said they'll charge $90 every 2 weeks even though they know the account is closed.

I dealt with a very knowledgeable and professional loan officer named Yash Patel. He was very through and transparent with the whole application process and I learnt a great deal from him as a result. I would recommend him and AAR financial in the near future. Given my own personal life struggles, Yash was always calling and making sure that at every step of the process, I was looked after.

In 2018, I found myself in dire need of money as my work hours were reduced. I visited AAR on McPhillips in Winnipeg to secure a $2,000.00 loan. The loan agreement clearly stated that I would end up repaying more than double the borrowed amount. It's important to convey the extent of my stress and desperation at the time, which led me to overlook the details of what I was signing. Ultimately, by the time my loan concludes in November 2023, I will have paid a staggering $11,000.00. They assured me that cancelling the insurance could reduce the costs, yet every time I contact someone at AUTOLIST of CANADA, which perplexes me, I'm told that they are addressing the issue and that it has been resolved. However, no revised statement has been provided, and the loan terms, including the end date, remain unchanged. They fail to make it clear that by signing a waiver, you are actually opting out of the insurance.
I urge you not to seek a loan from this establishment.

AAR Financial Had a bad time with AAR Financial Inc

Had a bad time with AAR Financial Inc. The staff wasn't very good at their job, didn't remember my name, and answered to someone else's name. They didn't communicate well and didn't follow up. When I told them my worries, they said the manager would take care of it, but then he said I applied twice with the same documents even though I was doing what he said. Then, he said something different than the other guy. First, I needed someone to sign with me, and I asked for an email with more information so I could reply better. The manager then said I could borrow $1-3000 without a guarantee, but then said I was talking to more than one person and said no to my application. I did everything he told me to do. The manager kept me waiting for over a week without talking to me. I give them zero stars.

Right from the start, I encountered issues with them. I was expected to be familiar with different references, despite us knowing the same number of people. I dealt with three different employees, each telling me something different. The agreed payment was supposed to be $80 a month, but there were always issues with missed payments or incorrect withdrawals from my bank accounts, resulting in double charges. Constantly dealing with different employees added to the confusion, as I couldn't be sure who I was communicating with or what information they were disclosing. They accused me of lying about making payments for a year, even though I had settled my dues before the lockdown. They never apologized, instead, they harassed me with phone calls at work. Now, I refuse to be contacted by phone and insist on communication through email only.

Their conduct has caused me immense stress and anxiety from the outset, making it impossible for me to handle phone conversations with them. The interest rate, which is a staggering 80%, is not justifiable, especially when they accuse you of lying and fail to offer any apologies for their mistakes. This is by far the worst company I have ever dealt with, and I am determined never to return after I have paid off this loan. Therefore, I strongly advise avoiding this company at all costs. Seek out a different loan provider instead.

AAR Financial AAR Financial Inc

AAR Financial Inc. is a company that offers loans and financial assistance. I had a bad experience with them when someone named Martha called my work looking for me. My co-worker told her I wasn't there, but Martha started to tell my co-worker how much I owed and for how long. My co-worker cut her off and said that it was my personal information and she shouldn't be sharing it. Martha then gave my co-worker the name and phone number of her boss, David ***, and asked for the privacy officer's name and phone number. When my co-worker asked for it, Martha said they didn't have one. This is a very unprofessional business and I will be reporting this to the privacy officer.

AAR Financial Poor Experience with AAR Financial Inc's Loan Service

I applied for a $2500 loan with AAR Financial Inc. on May 24th, 2022. Sumit was assigned to assist with my application. He requested some documents, which I promptly sent. After following up, I was informed by another representative that Sumit had left the company and there was no record of my application, suggesting it might have been declined. Despite asking for a status update, I was met with indifference and, as of June 1st, 2022, I have received no further communication. They have all my personal information.

AAR Financial I applied for a loan with AAR Financial

I applied for a loan with AAR Financial. I signed all the loan papers and was approved for 1000. Then I get an email stating that I was declined cause the auditors found out that my rent was 1117. *** the employee that I was dealing with *** put my rent as 300 which I took a screenshot of. This was not good customer service, would never recommend them.

AAR Financial In 2018 I was desperate for money and hours were cut at work

In 2018 I was desperate for money and hours were cut at work. I went to AAR on McPhillips in Winnipeg. I requested a $2,000.00 loan. In the loan documents I did see that I was going to be paying back more than double. I need to stress that I was under a lot of stress and was in desperate need that I did not take the time to read all that I was signing. When it comes down to it, my loan is done in Nov of 2023 and I will have paid $11,000.00!***, they told me I could cancel the insurance to bring the costs down, but each time I talk to someone at AUTOLIST of CANADA (WHY THAT I ASK) they tell me that they are taking care of it, and that it has been taken care of. To date no updated statement has been issued and the loan is still the same and end date still the same. They don't (***) that when you are signing a waiver, you are declining the insurance.
DON'T GO HERE FOR A LOAN - PLEASE

I received a substantial dollar loan 3 years ago. I called June 1, to see what my balance was and it's still significant after all the years of paying without missing a single payment. I advise against going to this place for a loan.

I applied for a loan with AAR Financial. I signed all the loan papers and was approved for a loan amount of 1000. Subsequently, I received an email informing me that my application was declined because the auditors discovered that my rent was 1117. The employee I was dealing with had incorrectly recorded my rent as 300, a discrepancy I noticed and captured with a screenshot. This experience did not reflect good customer service, and I would not recommend their services.

Right from the start I had issues with them, had to know different references (even though we know the same amount of people), had three different employees saying one thing or another. The payment is supposed to be $80 a month but somehow there's all ways a miss payment or they take it out of one bank account or go take it another so getting double payment. And still dealing with different employees so you don't know who your dealing with let alone what information their giving away too, saying I lied and didn't pay in a year, even though I went down before lockdown. And not apologizing to me saying I'm lying to them and Than harassing me over the phone at work, now I don't want to be contacted by phone, only by email from them.They have caused me so much stress and anxiety from the start that I can't deal with them over the phone anymore. The interest alone is not worth it(80%) if you miss a payment as far as I know it's coming out my account, so they make up excuses, say your lying to them and don't apologize at all. Terrible company I have ever dealt with and will never go back to them after this loan is payed off once and for all, *** So needles to say avoid at all cost, *** Avoid at all cost go to a different loan place

AAR Financial I talked to Kristen at AAR Financial Inc

I talked to Kristen at AAR Financial Inc. on Dec 28, 2020 about my loan payment. I told her my EI was delayed because of the holidays and I wouldn't have funds when they took out the payment on the 31st. I didn't want to pay the banking NSF fee of $45 and the Loan NSF fee of $90, so I asked if we could delay the payment. Kristen said it wouldn't be a problem and they would take the payment out on Jan 14th instead. She took my email address and confirmed it with me 3 times. I asked her to send me an email to confirm it, but she said she was busy and would send it later. I trusted her to do so. On Jan 4, I checked my banking and they had withdrawn the payment and I was charged both NSF fees. I called Kristen again and she said she emailed me, but it didn't go through. I asked her why she didn't let me know and she avoided the question. She said she called me, but I never got a missed call from her. I asked for a supervisor, but she said she was it. She said it wasn't her fault and she had to wait until the payment was returned on their end. On Jan 5, Kristen called me about the missed payment and said I had to pay the NSF fees.

AAR Financial I got a loan from AAR Financial and they're usually pretty good

I got a loan from AAR Financial and they're usually pretty good. They keep asking me to reloan though, like 20 times a day. I asked Niky if I could reloan and she said it would take 4 days. I needed it fast so I sent the papers and got approved for $3000. But then Niky forgot to sign a paper and the loan got delayed. I complained to Gurmeet and put a bad review online. Then they said they wouldn't give me the loan unless I removed the review. Harsh said I could apply again without a credit check, but then they denied me even though I signed the papers. I asked for the owner's info but no one will respond. At least I don't have to make a payment for 2 weeks.
