The auto-financing arm of carmaker Toyota agreed to pay $60 million as part of a settlement with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) addressing allegations of illegal lending and credit reporting misconduct.
Toyota Motor Credit Corp. was fined $12 million and must pay nearly $48 million in consumer redress, the CFPB announced in a press release Monday.
Toyota Motor Credit was accused of making it unreasonably difficult for consumers to cancel unwanted add-ons, failing to ensure consumers received refunds for certain add-ons that had become void, failing to provide refunds to consumers who canceled their vehicle service agreements, and not timely correcting false information provided to consumer reporting agencies when consumers returned their leased vehicles, according to the CFPB’s order.
