Lies from USAA

[MrR]

Worst service ever! Told us we qualified for 2.25 on an auto loan got the loan paper today and it is at 3%! No one will help or fix it! Will be going to the BBB. We did everything they told us to do!

MrR, did you notice the first words in the top left of the box? "Rates are subject to change."

The same thing happened to me. I was quoted a lower rate with the understanding that I enroll in automatic payments. Needless to say, even with auto pay I never saw the lower rate. Paid off the car in 18 months and used Chase to finance my truck. Chase's rates were lower and there was no deception. I like USAA and continue to use them, but I haven't forgotten they are a business. As a frugal consumer I continually compare with other companies.

It was probably all listed in the terms
