Don't buy a toyota through southeast toyota finance. This is the first online review I do on anything, yet use the internet for many, many things in my life. The reason I am so upset is that my elder family member purchased a toyota from lehman toyota in north miami, fl and decided to finance it. We want to payoff the car, so I have been online at setf.com's website, calling, and emailing and I have yet to get a response from a human! I do it online, but then get a file which I cannot open. Now I have downloaded and opened thousands of files via email, online, etc. Yet this one I can't open and I can't talk to anyone! At setf.com about it because they don't care-they don't want to talk to the customer. This is the most incredible, worst, confusing, spinning, dead-end business I have ever witnessed! I have sent emails asking for help via their website; asking for a human to call me or email me back — nothing back — no response! Then I call their 800 number and for anything you respond to, they have an app for that! They switch you to a looooong recorded message of what you need to do, but again, no human intervention! The answer from me is don't buy a toyota! Stay away from toyota... There is no customer service once they sell you the car! We have also been waiting for over two months for a refund of excess insurance that lehman toyota oversold — $3, 500 worth which we cancelled just six days after this purchase and after over two months of waiting for the credit to appear an setf.com — nothing! This is a scam, a racket, and shameful that they have so little regard for the people that buy their cars. The sale does not end at the dealer. The sales experience continues until that owner no longer has that toyota — it continues when the buyer is still making payments on the car. Setf.com southeast toyota finance apparently does not know that. This must be a separate company because I can't believe that the toyota I knew would do these things, but I am living it! I am so upset with this endless loop on their telephone system and their non-responsive website... That I willl never buy a toyota product!

I'm sorry to hear about your trouble. I work for Southeast Toyota Finance and would be happy to assist.

From your comments, I can't tell what the issue is with your payoff quote. However, what you describe often is related to the Adobe Reader add on that is used to display the document. If you do not have that add on, or have an old version, it might help to download the latest version.

Another tip that you may find useful is that option "8" on many of our VRU menus is for a customer service representitive.

Please feel free to call me at [protected], enter your account number, and opt out to a representative. They will be able to directly transfer you to my extension. Or, I can be reached directly at [protected].

I have experienced physical illnesses but have always managed to pay SETF maybe not on time, but never the less they have been paid every month since purchasing my 2010 Camry. They have been extremely rude and have the worst customer service I have ever experienced. They will not accept my debit/credit card online now. It will not accept my payment, however, I mail my check and it takes 10-15 days for my check to clear, and by that time I am struggling for this payment to clear. I will never finance another vehicle through SETF. I will never buy another Toyota product due to their rudeness and the worst customer service! I am in a public relations role, and we have always been taught proper customer service. I suggest SETF take a customer service course before they work themselves out of a job!

I have had a very bad experience with the customer service from this bank. I tried to change my due for the 15th of every month instead of the 1rst of every month, with no luck at ALL! this is very frustrating and I think they put me in a "black list" because the attitude and the lack of understanding is huge! I'm so upset that I'm no longer answer with courtesy, since they haven't resolve the situation that I requested on august the 8th. they keep bouncing me from one agent to another and they keep saying that I have to have the account update it; if I'm requesting a change of due date and I pay for it, it's because I can't make the payment on the 1rst. the only thing i know is that i wont lease another Toyota (and we have 3 Toyota leased) if this people continues to finance them.

My ex boyfriend and I leased a 2012 Corolla in Savannah, GA in July of 2012- initially with absolutely no problems. Now, three years later and one month remaining before the end of the lease, were looking into leasing two separate cars individually. Allow me to mention that in the three years we've had the car, NOT one SINGLE payment was late. In other words, my credit should've benefited substantially. Unfortunately however, the finance manager that entered my information three years ago incorrectly inputted my ssn (lets say it's 3201, they entered 2310) thus leaving me SOL in terms of getting a new car on my own. Though the new finance manager and an awesome salesman are working hard to get me approved, given my loyalty, it's still a MAJOR inconvenience that I didn't bring upon myself at all. I simply trusted the gentleman to know how to properly enter data. Granted, occur- we're all human. However, having spent YEARS doing everything required to ensure that my credit grew, I'm furious with the outcome. I still have yet to see what will be done to resolve this matter.

How is this company even still in business with all the complaints they have, well all I'm going to say is that I will never ever do business with this company again, I love the Toyota brand and will always buy one just not with setf. I hope with all the bad complaints that it will open their eyes and make them want to treat their customers better or that no one will purchase from this bank ever again.

Automated system sends you in endless loops. I called about 5 times and verified account information with 2 customer service representatives per call and EVERY time I was transferred back to the automated system to verify account info AGAIN. Not to mention I could barely understand the representatives due to outsourcing of these call facilities to other countries. Why hire a person who speaks broken English on a phone line? I never ONCE heard an "8" as an option to speak to a representative. Why don't you lease one of your own vehicles and try and navigate your own broken phone system? Still never got the payoff. So I have to leave a 2 page comment on a thread to get a direct extension to a human being who can provide a payoff? Absolutely ridiculous. Will never recommend SE Toyota financing. Have a good day. Or don't. I don't care.
