A car dealer says a customer walked into his dealership trying to buy a vehicle, only to discover another dealership had apparently left him with an auto loan he didn’t even know existed.
The TikTok account for KMA Auto (@kmaauto1) shared the story in a recent video. A salesperson said he’d been in the car business for about a year and had "never seen" anything like it before.
According to the Marietta, Ohio-based dealer, the customer came in hoping to get approved for financing. But when the dealership submitted his information to the bank, it discovered the man already had an active auto loan on his credit profile.
When employees asked about it, the customer explained he had recently visited another dealership and bought a car that broke down shortly after he drove it off the lot. He says he returned the vehicle to the dealership afterward.
"Evidently, that dealership never called the bank and told them that he didn’t buy this car," the KMA Auto dealer recounts in the video.
