Exeter Finance, a consumer lender, operates within an industry with stringent compliance standards. Their financial processes necessitate an advanced system capable of supporting complex audit capabilities, process definition flexibility and data integration volume integrations.

ProPublica found that Exeter offers loan extensions «like candy.» This can lead to increased final payments or Exeter repossessing or sending away cars due to debt collectors.

It is a financial services company

Exeter Finance partners with thousands of car dealerships nationwide to offer loans to borrowers with bad credit or limited income. Their loans typically last one or two years but borrowers may incur thousands in interest and fees payments each month; customers unable to meet payments may even risk having their cars repossessed; yet, according to regulatory records, Exeter Finance still makes more from high-risk loans where customers default than those making payments on time.

Jessica Patterson first encountered Exeter Finance through CarMax, which uses it as an alternate lender if consumers do not qualify for its own in-house financing options. Notices sent by Exeter failed to disclose that payments made would first go towards interest from extensions instead of principal repayment.

Exeter Finance’s practice of permitting borrowers to skip payments often results in thousands of additional interest charges for those who do not pay on time, making these illegal and risking repossession or being hit with large bills from debt collectors if payments aren’t made – similar to practices that were cited by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau when filing its case against Santander years prior.

It offers auto loans

Exeter Finance also offers financing directly to consumers through auto loans that it issues as subprime auto finance loans, typically used to purchase vehicles by those with poor credit or limited incomes. Unfortunately, such lending can be incredibly risky for borrowers; some have reported repossessions and high interest rates; other have reported being harassed by creditors and collection agencies. Regardless of what loan type you have taken out with Exeter Finance, be sure to read all paperwork thoroughly and consider debt settlement as a potential solution.

Jessica Patterson was among the tens of thousands who took out an Exeter Finance loan through CarMax, who use this lender as an alternative source of financing. When the time came to pay back the loan, Exeter repossessed her Kia and demanded an enormous final payment; although by extending her loan payment plans she managed to avoid repossession; however this resulted in additional charges totaling thousands of dollars that ultimately forced repossession to occur anyway.

It is a subprime lender

Exeter Lender operates under a business model which involves providing financially unstable borrowers with extended payments that add thousands in interest charges, often driving them further into debt. Yet Exeter has not been punished by regulators; rather, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau has enforced penalties against other lenders with similar practices but not taken action against Exeter.

One Kentucky disabled woman wrote to her state attorney general seeking help with Exeter Finance loan repayment. According to former employees, Exeter Finance deferred payments made during December and January and moved them at the end of her five-year repayment schedule, leading her monthly payments almost entirely toward interest. Unfortunately, their notices did not specify this cost accurately.

Exeter’s deferment programs may be one of the major contributing factors behind high delinquency rates seen at subprime lenders.
