Payments are first applied to accrued interest. Then we apply the rest toward your principal or any outstanding charges/fees based on the status of your account.
Any amount paid over your current amount due will be applied to future payments. If all applicable interest, fees and late charges have been paid, the remaining funds will be applied to your principal balance. Each payment, regardless of the amount, is automatically applied this way.

Yes, you’re responsible for any applicable tolls, tickets, property tax or fees assessed during your lease agreement. The initial bill will be sent to us. Setting up a toll tag (an electronic payment method that automatically pays for tolls as you drive through them, such as E-ZPass) is an easy way to avoid additional issues or late fees.
For property taxes, we'll add the charge to your monthly billing statement and mail you a letter to notify you of this charge. Property tax bills can still be received up to 18 months after your lease has ended.
For tolls and tickets, we’ll email and/or mail you a letter about how to pay the tolling authority directly, as we don’t collect amounts owed to these authorities. You’ll only see charges on your account if you don’t pay the billing authorities by the stated due date.

Bankruptcy
When you file a petition for bankruptcy, federal law prohibits GM Financial from attempting to collect on an account that existed at the time of filing, absent permission from the Bankruptcy Court. GM Financial will place your account in bankruptcy status. All statements will cease as we are not permitted to send billing statements to customers involved in an active bankruptcy case. Automatic or recurring payments on the account will also cease.
If you have filed for bankruptcy and would like to surrender your vehicle, please call 1-877-203-5538. You will need your account number and your bankruptcy case number.
A Reaffirmation Agreement is an agreement between a creditor and debtor(s) who has filed bankruptcy stating that the debtor(s) will honor the terms of the initial contract initiated with the creditor.
You are not required to sign a Reaffirmation Agreement. However, by executing a Reaffirmation Agreement with GM Financial, you will resume receiving monthly statements on your account, be able to access your account via our website, make payments via that website and be eligible for deferments on your account, once your case has been discharged.
Not all services are available to customers who have been discharged in a bankruptcy case but not reaffirmed their debt with GM Financial. If you wish to reaffirm your debt with GM Financial, a Reaffirmation Agreement must be signed – by you, your attorney and GM Financial – and filed in a timely manner with the Bankruptcy Court. If you are not represented by bankruptcy counsel, the Bankruptcy Court must approve the Reaffirmation Agreement before it is a valid, binding agreement. It is your responsibility to obtain such approval.
GM Financial urges you to discuss your obligations as a debtor in bankruptcy with your bankruptcy attorney. Account terms are not modified in a Reaffirmation Agreement with GM Financial.
Upon the entry of a discharge order in a Chapter 12 or 13 bankruptcy case, GM Financial is prohibited from making collection efforts on any debt that was discharged. Depending on the GM Financial arrangements made under the plan of reorganization approved by the bankruptcy court, GM Financial may be required to release its security interest upon the entry of the discharge. Or, its security interest in the collateral on the account remains and GM Financial retains its state law and contractual rights to protect such interest. You should discuss these alternatives with your bankruptcy attorney.
Customers in bankruptcy will not receive monthly statements, but you do have the option to pay online by logging in to gmfinancial.com/MyAccount or the GM Financial Mobile app for Android and iOS. You also have the option to pay by phone, pay with cash, or mail in a check or money order. If your account is in a repossession status, you will not be able to pay online.
Please note that GM Financial is not attempting to collect a debt by allowing access to these options.
Payoff
Any overage on an account is automatically refunded to the customer within 60 days following date of payoff. To verify an overage on a paid-off account, please log in to gmfinancial.com/MyAccount and message our Customer Experience team. You can also call us.
Your account balance may differ from your payoff balance due to interest charges, fees and other items that may be credited or debited to your account.
Lease customers may have an outstanding balance for all contractual obligations, such as late fees, excessive mileage or excessive wear.
You can find payoff details by logging in to gmfinancial.com/MyAccount or the GM Financial Mobile app for Android and iOS. You can also call us.
Any overage or extra payments on an account should be refunded within 30 days. See how to request a payoff quote.
Depending on your state, your title or lien release documents typically arrive within 30 days of paying your account in full (or earlier, as required by state law).
To release titles on lease accounts, we require filled out and signed Lease Purchase Documents, including the odometer statement and damage disclosure acknowledgment (depending on state law). These can be found in the GM Financial Document Center, along with instructions for returning the paperwork.

Setting up a toll tag (an electronic payment method that automatically pays for tolls as you drive through them, such as E-ZPass) is an easy way to avoid additional issues or late fees.
For property taxes, we'll add the charge to your monthly billing statement and mail you a letter to notify you of this charge. Property tax bills can still be received up to 18 months after your lease has ended.

After prequalification, you can submit a credit application through a GM dealership. If you choose not to prequalify, you can still submit an application through a GM dealer.
If you’re not prequalified, you can follow up with the dealer selected in your application for assistance with your vehicle shopping and financing needs.
Statements
Although terms vary between contracts, your first payment will generally be due 30 days from the date your contract is executed, and you will receive a billing statement approximately 14 days before your due date.

If you're experiencing postal delays, you're not alone. Digital statements are often available several days before a paper statement can be delivered to your address due to reported postal delays.

Title and Registration
Only individuals on the contract can be added to the title. For further assistance, please contact us.
You will need to go to your Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) office to re-register. Since each state has its own procedures to follow, we recommend that you contact your DMV in advance. (There are three states that require permission from the lien holder to re-register: Arizona, New York and West Virginia.) If you require permission, please contact us.
If you’ve completed your contract agreement, paid off your vehicle and need to order a duplicate title and/or Lien Release, you can submit a request by going to getmycartitle.com and following the steps. Fees may apply. For step-by-step directions, download our Where's My Title fact sheet.
Depending on your state, title and/or lien release documents typically arrive within 30 days of paying your account in full (or earlier, as required by state law).

It’s best to contact your insurance company and ask when they will send the check to GM Financial. Once GM Financial receives the insurance check, it can take three to five business days to process.
Guaranteed Asset Protection (GAP) may help pay off your vehicle financing if your vehicle is totaled and your insurance pays less than what you owe.
Insurance companies declare a vehicle a total loss when damages cost more than its cash value, meaning it’d cost more to repair the vehicle than it’s worth. A vehicle may also be deemed a total loss if it’s stolen and not recovered. After a total loss, the insurance company will pay what they determine the vehicle is worth.
GAP coverage is an ancillary product that could pay a portion up to the remainder of the balance owed, but it may not cover additional charges added to the account such as late fees or property tax. GAP coverage is optional and not required to obtain financing.
Total Loss: If there is an overage on the account after the insurance check is applied, a refund will be released within 15 business days.
Insurance Repair: Once the repairs deemed by the insurance company are completed and the required documents have been received and verified, a refund will be processed in three business days. The funds will be sent to the body shop repairing the vehicle unless proof that the repair bill has been paid is received by GM Financial.
