Frequently Asked Questions

My payment will be late. Will you waive late fees?

We understand that some customers may still be experiencing financial hardship as a result of COVID-19. If so, please contact us so we can discuss personalized options with you.

What should I do if I haven't received a paper statement?

If you feel you should have received your statement and haven’t, you can sign up for MyAccount or log in anytime to view your statements online. Or, you can enroll in paperless billing to receive statement notifications via email. If you need to find out your due date or the amount owed, please message us in MyAccount or call us at 1-800-284-2271.

How are you reporting late payments to the credit bureau?

• Credit bureau reporting remains on for an account as long as it is in current status. This ensures that positive payment histories continue to get reported.
• Because reporting is on, if an account becomes 30 days past due, it is reported to the credit bureaus as late and you will initially see a derogatory mark on your credit bureau for that month.
• As soon as an account reports greater than 30 days past due in the March through June timeframe, GM Financial assumes the customer is experiencing financial hardship as a result of COVID-19 and we turn off reporting for that account. You will initially see a derogatory mark on your report for that first 30-day late payment. We will, a short time after reporting, provide a special code to the credit bureaus noting that the account was affected by a declared disaster.
• Any subsequent 30-day late payments during this time through June 30 will not be reported delinquent because we have turned reporting off.
• If at any time during March through June, the account is paid and brought current, credit reporting is turned back on so that the account will show that it is in current/paid status. However, any delinquent payments during that March through June timeframe will show a “D” in the payment history that indicates “no information available” for that reporting month.

GM Financial will resume all normal credit bureau reporting on July 1, 2020. If you have past due payments, you are encouraged to bring your account current by that time. Missed payments from March through June will still show a “D” in the payment history, however, if the account is past due and not brought current by July 1, our report will indicate the appropriate delinquent status as of July 1. We understand some customers may still be experiencing financial hardships and we would like to discuss personalized payment options with you. Please contact us to speak with a Customer Advocate.

I’m at the end of my lease; what are my options right now?

We understand that our customers may be facing some distractions and other priorities right now. We have options if you are at the end of your lease.

• Purchase or lease a new vehicle: General Motors has unprecedented offers available on new vehicles and many dealers have programs that allow you to get into your next vehicle without ever leaving home. You can shop, apply for financing and have the vehicle delivered right to your door. Check with your dealer for availability. If you do decide to turn in your vehicle, GM Financial will arrange for your vehicle’s inspection.
• One-month lease extension: If you are unable or choose not to return your vehicle, we will process a one-month extension to allow you additional time. No need to contact us – if we don’t hear from you 10 days after your original termination date, we will automatically extend your lease for one month. You will receive notification of the extension at the physical address or email address we have on file. Later, if more time is needed, we will work with you on a solution that meets your needs. You will continue to make your regular monthly payment on your scheduled due date during the month(s) extended. Review the lease extension guidelines before deciding to extend your lease and contact us if you have further questions.
• Turn in your vehicle: Some dealerships may close portions of their operations or have limited store hours. Contact your local dealership for details.
