Received a letter in the mail from Tidewater with a blue card attached to it. The letter stated that they would finance a new or used car for me so I decided to do research online about this company.

I must say that I have never in my life saw so many BAD reviews with any company as I have with this one. Upon reading the reviews I decided to shred the letter I received and seek financing elsewhere and not even consider taking a chance with this company. If the reviews I am reading are correct then this will be the absolute best financial decision I have ever made. The best way to stop a company like this is to DO YOUR RESEARCH.

When you run across a company that has this type of reputation then avoid them at all costs. They cant do this to people if people don't do business with them. At this time I really need a car bad but there is no way in *** I would finance a car with this company because it seems to me that you are going to overpay tremendously or they are going to find or fabricate a reason to repo it. I'm sorry to those who have legitimate complaints.

I wish you the best and thank you for the reviews.

They saved me a lot of headache. If anyone from Tidewater is reading this then I say to you Thanks But No Thanks.

ITS THE SERIAL DEADBEATS WHINING!

The common thread thru ALL the complaints is the whiner fails to make their payments on time, which is NOT optional. The lender begins collection activities up to and including a repo.

The WHINER just can't stand the circumstances THEY caused and the come here to cry and whine. When people do what they promised to do, MAKE PAYMENTS ON TIME, there are no problems! The lender is not going send out their bill collectors to people who pay on time! The serial deadbeats just don't get it because of their limited mental capacity.

It's all a very simple deal...the lender does their part by funding the purchase. All the borrower needs to do is make on time payments. This is a concept the sorry, serial deadbeats can't grasp.

When they fail to pay, it's always somebody else's fault! Remember...when you pay on time, you will never have any problems.

So what about the lady that said she wanted to pay off early and they gave her a hard time about the payoff. Doesnโ€™t sound like she is a deadbeat.

Iโ€™m totally turned off by all of these reviews. I would rather go elsewhere.

Thank you for all the entertainment. This post helped me make up my mind as well.

Now ask yourself a very simple question, Einstein. They collect interest with each and every payment, right?

Therefore it would be to their advantage to have customers continue to pay as long as possible so they could make the most interest, right? So why would they "come up with a reason" to do a repo unless it was a good reason???

The whiners and wailers about these subprime lenders are those who don't pay their bills on time and create the consequences they are wailing about! If you or anybody pays their bills on time, there never is any problem!

or you can make your payment on time. most of these reviews are because people are not smart with their money.

they want a good car but have a bad payment history. this is a secondary loaner. not a primary finance company. this is to help you better your credit all you have to do is be responsible make your payment on time and then refinance your vehicle to lower your interest rate and you go on from there.

these reviews are bogus. honestly. i work for this company. i know what goes on.

and these people are all irresponsible. if they weren't they wouldn't be complaining. and that's all i receive when i take a call. is a complain about their life, about the company.

about how they cannot make their payment due to some bs story. honestly we don't care. all we want is for the consumer to have the payment in. that's all!

BE RESPONSIBLE. that's my advise. just make your payment on time. set up the auto pay!

don't let the account go delinquent. because all you are doing is paying interest.

not your car. good luck!

With all due respect I understand that some reviews may be bogus but I have no way of confirming whether they are bogus or not. I have read some reviews where people were complaining about hardships and I have also read some reviews where people say they paid on time and these so-called phantom fees appeared and could not be explained or it took forever to receive the title when the loan was paid.

I don't know if Tidewater is a good company or not and I don't know if the reviews are bogus or not. All I know is I am not willing to go out on a limb and take the chance to find out one way or the other..

This was a better way to respond. You identified yourself and told the companyโ€™s side of the story. If this is truly the case, then, it may not be as bad as everyone is making it seem.
