Unresolved Payment Issue with Bidlane. I recently sold my 2020 Honda Civic Sport to Bidlane on September 2, 2023 at there LAX- Inglewood location and I've been facing significant issues since then. Unfortunately, as of today, September 14, 2023, payment had not been issued for the sale, and my attempts to communicate with Bidlane have been futile. There is no answer when calling and I've emailed multiple times. I received 1 text communication on 9/6/23 from Nicole from the "Bidlane car Buying Center" with a tracking number that reflects no check has been received.
This experience has been incredibly frustrating and disappointing. When I initially decided to sell my car through Bidlane, I expected a smooth and straightforward transaction. However, the fact that they have not issued payment for the vehicle two weeks after the sale is deeply concerning.
I've made multiple attempts to contact Bidlane to inquire about the status of the payment, but I have not received any response or clarification regarding the delay. A check was supposed to be issued but that takes long and via email requested to electronic payment to Honda Finance Exchange Inc. This lack of communication and transparency has left me feeling unsupported and uncertain about the situation.
I would have appreciated a more professional and proactive approach from Bidlane in resolving this matter. It's essential for businesses to uphold their commitments and maintain open lines of communication with their customers.
I hope that Bidlane can address this issue promptly and provide the payment that is rightfully owed. This experience has left me with a negative impression, and after reviewing the Yelp and google negative reviews you can see the same issue continuously happens at the pay out phase. In will be updating this review as the stirring continues to develop.
UPDATE: 9/14/23 10:15am
Called over 10 times and was transferred to full voicemail boxes of; Stephanie, Lauren, Nicole or kept getting automatically transferred and hanged up without speaking to anyone. The 2 times I was able to speak to a human was Veronica and Lorena. Lorena claimed I was already called yesterday (9/13/23) by "management" she didn't want to give me a name, stating they have helped me but that was not true because no one called me and claimed its only been 9 business days but the car was sold and handed off with keys on 9/2/2023 (today is 9/14/23).
UPDATE: 9/14/23 11:03am
Was told by "Nicole" via text the check was sent and handed off by her personally and that USPS misplaced or lost it. However, I was able to verify that they never submitted the check to USPS per the tracking number they provided. I texted back showing her screenshots of me verifying USPS never got anything but pre-shipment info on 9/7/23.
UPDATE: 9/14/23 11:43am
Got a text response from Nicole, re-stating the check was handed personally be her self and the check was misplaced or lost on USPS end. Claimed that she will open a claim or re-issue a new check. She said she will follow up by the end of day today 9/14/23.
UPDATE: 9/14/23 12:53pm
I called USPS my self. Verified that only a electronic notice was sent to USPS on 9/7/23 and nothing was dropped off. At 1:06pm I sent a text to Nicole informing her of my findings and sent a screenshot to back up my findings that USPS has never taken possession of the alleged Check that was claimed to be dropped off personally.
UPDATE 9/19/23
Its Tuesday, haven't gotten a call back from "Nicole" who said she was going to contact me yesterday Monday with an update they they check was going to be re-issued. read more
