Lobel Financial management has made an attempt to contact the customer to discuss and address her concerns as well as review and provide any options available to her.

WARNING TELL EVERYONE DON"T DO BUSINESS WITH LOBEL FINANCIAL. THEY ARE EVIL PEOPLE. The company Lobel Financial takes away your rights as a consumer. They make up lies and continue to twist them, to make it your fault. They feel they are always in the right, and that no one can touch them. They told me that I stole my car after sending a change of address as a P.O.Box as my new address. They said you don't live in a box. I sent a P.O.Box only because of construction work in my apartment. I got moved to another apartment temporiarly. I sent them my insurance information with my physical address using my family member address. They took my car because I live in a P.O.Box. If I did live in a P.O. Box how did you know where my physical address was unless you received my proof of insurance card.
This is an evil company, and not only are they hurting the consumer, they are also ripping off dealers who try to do business with them. I hope someone who can investigate this company and catch them! Bring this corporation down!. They should have no creditability whatsoever for anything that they say or do. Don't let them entice you into believing they are here to help you. They are here to ruin your life.

This company is nothing but harassing crooks! 25% interest is Usury!

You may also want to verify that LOBEL FINANCIAL complied with California’s stringent laws concerning the repossession of your vehicle and the subsequent notice you were required to receive. Contact an attorney if you have any questions.
These same post-repossession notices were the subject of a series of class action lawsuits heard in Sacramento Superior Court (LOBEL FINANCIAL Auto Cases, Case No. JCCP 4563). On March 26, 2010, Judge Michael P. Kenny issued preliminary approval of a class action settlement collectively resolving the matters after California consumers Ivon Lara and Jaime Penuela filed separate complaints against LOBEL after LOBEL FINANCIAL sued each of them for a deficiency balance on the repossession of their vehicles.
LOBEL general counsel, Gary Dean Lobel, declared that there were 9, 159 consumers whose outstanding deficiency balances totaled more than $43 million. LOBEL agreed to halt all collection activity on those accounts. LOBEL also agreed to waive the entire $43, 808, 147 in alleged deficiencies and to delete consumer credit reports of LOBEL FINANCIAL trade-lines.

TheLoveFist II needs to get a life...this company has screwed with my account as well. My husband has served 23 years in the military and now works for the federal government. I have made my payment every month since we purchased our vehicle from them. They are trying to say that we are a month behind when actually we should be a month ahead because we authorized 1 payment to come out of our account and they took 2. They are theives, and they are violating the freedoms that my husband and many other soldiers have fought in many wars to provide their freedoms to them. They actually sent a tow truck to my house right after stealing money from my account and when I talked to the tow truck driver, even he said I should find a new finance company, that they are theives and all the customers are to them are cash cows...it's truly disgusting and I am currently in contact with an attorney that wants to take them for everything they are worth and give all of their consumers justice.

I wish my son would of gone to another finance company, they will not stop calling my son got another cell phone number, will never call them on his cell, they call family members as well, and they make up stories about talking to my ex husband ( I don't have an ex-husband). They are constantly calling and lieing. How do we get these people to stop.

Lobel Financial is not a professional people..I almost lost my job because of them calling 5 times a day...they harrass you your just late of payment and they will leave messages on my work phone...i save all they messages just incase. I been paying them for 3 yrs no late payment but after 3 yrs. and i ask them if they can work with me and give me a break a little bit! BUT perla whoever her name said that if i dont make a payment on time today they will get the car..She even said that i have to come up with the whole payment of $3000 plus the $1100 total of $4100... if i cant pay the car then tomorrow they will wait at work to pick up the car...is this company run by a evil person or demon maybe the evil son! Lobel company your business is not gonna be for a long time because you guys dont have a heart and a soul! Money is all about you guys! A lot of people are having a hard time right now and sometimes they need help...but guess what people LObel has no heart at all...Dont get Loan with them...they will rip u off and charge a lot of interest...

bankruptcy will halt all collections on your account. Or atleast it should. I hate these people! I paid all this loan off. I'm done with them. I wish I can take them to small claims or do something. It's not fair. People run into financial hardships all the time. Why is that they are the only ones who are not understanding to the situation? If they repo our car, then how will we get to work to pay the dam loan? Their a bunch of idiots! I don't wish bad on anyone, but I wish Lobel would be investigated by the consumer affairs for bad practiace and work ethics. They are the ones breaking arangements half the time. In my case they did.

I;m so mad again!

Fyi a note is not a secured arrangement! I was explained that it's noted on account but not secured, means the account remains subject to further collections including possible repossession. Make your payments on time remember the grace period is for no late fee and if made even one day past your account will accrue additional interest if it's simple interest, just like other finance companies. If you don't there is consequences just like not paying your phone bill it's disconnected just saying the company isn't bad it's giving all of us a second chance and opportunity to rebuild our credit. Let's face we aren't the best customers that's why we are financed with lobel make your payments on time and you won't have to deal with the collections or repossession department. Just saying and mske sure to read your contract the fine print.

I agree with everyone who has been dealth with dirty by this tired company. Pay back is a mutha i'll tell you that and we should all get together and file a class action suit with them... I made a payment as agreed with RITA and they repoed the car anyway.. Bad Bizness Lobel folks workin way to hard for the money. Don't b a hater b a congratulata, ur time is coming. It happened to Santander y not u!

I reported Lobel just today for their shady behavior. I have never been late on a payment. But I'm constantly told that I don't have proof of insurance coverage. My insurance company and myself have sent them proof of insurance over and over again and they still tacked on extra for their so called insurance coverage. I reported them to the BBB and the California secretary of state. I just decided that I have had enough of wasting my time calling them and refaxing insurance proof. My insurance company has had enough too.

I have been through the same things all of these people are saying. I had a very rude person named Melissa tell me today that because my car was taken on Saturday which was only one day past the day of supposed agreed date to pay$100.00 left owing on my monthly payment she had the power to decide whether or not they would continue my loan through them...The reason she said that was because she did not like my "tone" or" attitude" please tell me what kind of attitude am I supposed to have after my car has been taken for $100.00? This company is very shady in their business practices. I would suggest to anyone wanting a car make sure it is not this company, they have already had an class action suit against them in California that they lost. It blows me away me that after that they would continue these practices.
I am disabled with 3 children at home and need to be able to get to Doctors appointments. If they will do that to me they will do it to everyone...

I made my payment over the phone on 2/9 with a agent who was very rude. So rude I complained to her manager. I called on 2/25 because the payment had not cleared my account. I spoke to the same manager who I made the complaint with and she told me everything was fine and they had my payment. That following Monday they reposed my car saying they got my payment back. Apparently they tried to take the payment from a old account. The fact that I called them Friday them and said there was a problem because it hadn't cleared yet wasn't good enough and didn't send up any flags to anyone. No one thought to check the account they didn't call me on monday instead they just picked up my car? So the money is sitting in my account and now they have my car. If I wasn't trying to pay them I would be really upset but I have the money I was trying to make my payment.

If you want to get your car back today, file bankruptcy. You'll have it back tomorrow.
If it's unlawful repossession make sure that you call the licensing office for repo companies in your state if there are any.

Find out what your states laws for repo'ing a car after a payemnt has been made, how many days, or months after..
Then call a lawyer if you find that there are any violations of the law.

I purchased a vehicle feb.2017 ford f-150 in two months the fuel pump went out i paid a mechanic $400.00 to replace i called lobel to see if they would help they refuse in aug. 2017 the radiator went out that was another $400.00 plus towing for both mechanical failure lobel refuse again bear in mind i lost my job living on unemployment all Lobel wanted was there payment then finally oct.2017 the engine froze needed to replace whole engine and did not have the cash today is Dec.14.2017 i still dont have my truck but i gave Lobel my last 3 payments and they still refuse to help so now Lobel wants their truck. so i basically got screwed by Lobel Finicial, Basic Auto Sales, and the mechanic that i gave a $600.00 Dollars to start fixing the engine, and still dont have vehicle.

Lobel Financial repossesed my car and I didn't know why, went to the office and they didn't know anything about it that's what they said, then I try calling and get directed to 7 different people which 4 of them sounded like the same lady. No one could answer my questions or tell me where my car was, I found out they say I owe $146 I went and paid 230 they told me I have to pay 557 dollars and then pay for repo fees, police fees, then late fees which added up to over 1500 dollars, I get a print out of my financial papers and its not the same as mine, they said my 2017 down payment doesn't go toward my car... wth the auto time dealer is taking peoples money and they are working with lobel financial, is there anyone doing a class action lawsuit? I would like to get to the bottom of these crooks. I can go on and on but we the victims need to get together get a plan going to stop this.

I need a copy of the lien satisfied form for my car to register at DMV. Please send the address so i can send my request, i purchased vehicle for my son and DMV gave me only your name no other information or I would call for process instructions my email address is shyhaul@aol.com.

Immodest you are an idiot.

This company is fraudulent and is going to pay for it. I pay ALL my bills including my first payment with this so-called company, only having them 1 month, they took my car from being under my INSURANCE FROM AN ACCIDENT, the adjuster getting damage amounts, AGAIN FROM THE LOCATION MY INSURANCE HAD IT AT, not even 5 weeks into my loan with them, stating non payment, HOWEVER, I paid and luckily have all the payment and Lobel Financial info I needed to pursue this legally, not everyone is as lucky. This is supposed to be a forum for serious complaints and responses, you need to be on My Space or somewhere where you do not need to have a brain or be educated on what these are for. They are not for your stupidity or foolish responses to someone who is having serious issues with a company. GROW UP.

At the car dealership I provided all documents requested got a courteous call from Lobel on the same day.
Today, which is a week after;
I got a call from an underwriter named ALMA @[protected] who was rude and condescending and stated she didn't receive those
documents, perfect solution, I would think would to be able to have me fax her those same requested documents myself. No matter a solution she was constantly speaking to me horribly, I finally said I wanted to speak to someone else who isn't so "mean and condescending" and she stated that "I could not, only her, she is the underwriter and she will make the final call".
Wow, what happened to customer service, Im certainly able to keep up my end. I chose this company LOBEL because I used them successfully before and thought Id use them this time rather than someone new. Now I guess I will call the dealership to find someone else when they were already in the works all because of one rude underwriter who says I can't talk to anyone else but HER! I guess one person can ruin it for all the other nice employees I spoke to previously. (one bad apple ruins the bunch)

I have never been late and have never lapsed on my car insurance. They've tacked on their insurance fees even though my insurance company and myself have sent in proof of insurance over and over again. Today, I filed a complaint with the Better Business Bureau and the California secretary of state.

I was 41 days past due and they came and got my car in the middle of the night! WTH I have financed before but never ever have delt with such ignorance in my lfe. Lucky my husband talked to the repo mand and he isn't going to charge any fee's. I am paying my car off ASAP! SO I will never ever have to deal with this company anymore! I to am lucky to join a class action suite.
