About Capital One Auto Finance
Capital One Auto Finance, a division of Capital One Financial Corporation, is one of the largest auto lenders in the United States, financing millions of vehicles annually. While Capital One serves a broad spectrum of borrowers, its subprime auto lending division has faced criticism for aggressive repossession practices, lack of proper notice to borrowers before and after repossession, and difficulties consumers face when trying to resolve disputes. If Capital One repossessed your vehicle, understanding your rights under both federal and state law is critical.
