Car payment relief during Coronavirus + incentive programs such as 'zero interest' and deferred payments

I called too and the 2 payments are due at lease end or when the accounts terminates (for example if you transfer the lease you must pay those 2 payments first)

The govt already gave my stimulus check to someone else. So I can’t commit on a forum to giving it away.

Toyota Financial (TFS) can/will offer those who are affected financially a 30 to 60 day deferral of payment(s). This deferral will move your maturity date 30 or 60 days from the original contract date.

This deferral does not change the maximum amount of mileage you are allowed to drive the vehicle as indicated in your lease agreement and you are responsible for any registration due, insurance, etc.

They are not obligated to offer any financial assistance but I’m glad TFS is offering this option for folks that are struggling.

Just and FYI, the penalty for driving a PNO is over $400 plus the cost of registration - You would have been better just not registering - its a fix it ticket with only a $25 fee. But, I guess there are a lot of ‘registration experts’ on this site.

I wonder what the stipulations are for small business owners. Or maybe we are just ruled out entirely

Props to them.

I contacted Chase about this last week. They said I can pay as much or none of my mortgage payment for the next 3 months. No penalties, no fees, no credit reporting. They were very clear that what they are offering is not “deferring payments”.

However, at the end of the 90 days the full balance of three months is due.

I’m sure this is helpful in certain scenarios, but not really for most folks.

Perhaps what they are offering now is different.

That’s not really all that helpful for folks who are just now starting to see cash flow problems and are really going to be in the lurch at the end of those 90 days.

How is that not deferred payment(s)?

They are not adding three months to the loan maturity. Just allowing you to be flexible. The total is still due after 3 months. The others are adding the deferral to loan maturity.

So it’s a deferral. An extension would change the maturity. A payment deferral is Wimpy’s rules for :hamburger:: I’ll gladly pay you in 3 months for my car lease today.

Can some one confirm if the consumer has to pay interest on the deferred payments when the time comes? ( I tried calling BMWFS about this but couldn’t get hold of a rep)

While this isn’t a new lease deal it’s still a pretty slick deal anyway…

BMW FS just extended my lease 1 month for free and gave me prorated extra mileage until the end of May.

They said it’s because my dealership is closed that they are able to offer me that option.

Just an update on my previous situation. The local Land Rover dealer refused to take the lease back because they wanted us to extend the lease. We ended up returning it to a Land Rover dealer about an hour away.

They took the car back about two and a half weeks early. I didn’t care about getting any money back. I was over the mileage anyway. Everything was done outside in the parking lot.

We recently received an invoice from CHASE bank and they charged us $300 instead of the $500 fee we were supposed to pay upon returning the car. Also, they didn’t charge us for the over mileage. We were over about 3,000 miles.

We did not lease another car at this time. We have an extra car for now and I’d rather not have the extra monthly payment at this time.

What money do you think you should have gotten back?

Ha, they probably did this so they didn’t have to find places to park cars, plus they probably get a write off.
