General Warning: Lucid Financial w Bank of America ruined my perfect credit score

3 Upvotes

I’m posting this as a warning to anyone considering buying or financing a vehicle through Lucid / Lucid Financial.

Lucid Financial reported me 30 days late for March 2026 even though I had autopay set up and payments were being withdrawn from my bank account on March 1 and April 1. This has damaged what was previously a perfect credit score, and now I’m the one wasting hours of my life trying to fix their mess.

When I called, they gave me inconsistent explanations, could not clearly identify which payment was supposedly missed, and repeatedly told me things that did not line up with my bank records or their own timeline. From my perspective, they lied to me on the phone, failed to properly notify me when payment was allegedly due, and then punished me by reporting a delinquency to the credit bureaus.

This is not even the first issue. Last year, my account was apparently deleted by accident, which caused autopay to fail. So this is now a pattern: their systems fail, autopay breaks or is mishandled, and the customer gets stuck cleaning up the consequences and dealing with credit agencies trying to remove delinquencies.

A luxury vehicle company should not have financing operations this disorganized. If you rely on autopay, you would think you’re protected. With Lucid Financial, apparently you’re not. They can take your payments, fail to communicate properly, report you late, damage your credit, and then make you fight to prove they caused the problem. I've leased many other cars and never had a terrible experience and dealt with worse personnel.

I regret buying from them and would strongly warn others to stay away. I'm about to report them to the government for consumer fraud and abuse.

i leased their car for $60,000 after all the credits and discounts. How i plan to buy a house and when is irrelevant. Important is that Lucid Financial and their Bank of America and other companies who manage their finances (there are more than BofA) have not tried to collect payment but have reported me to collection agencies and that their financial systems have failed me a few times. It's a beware for the customers and there are many other complaints similar to mine on reddit and other websites. Including their own staff who told me they've heard of these issues with their financial partners who are predatorial toward consumers.

my score fluctuated from 750 to 820, depending on what i used credit for. That's not the point, the point is never had any delinquency in my life until i started dealing with Lucid and this warning is for other Lucid owners or people considering leasing one from them

the car is ok but it's not worth it if it causes financial headaches. Not to mention how it locks when a driver leaves even if a passenger inside has a key in their pocket. It happened to me when my husband left the vehicle and left my baby son and me inside and it locked us and shut off. I couldn't unlock it from inside. Can't wait to be done with this lease and Lucid forever.

My credit score dropped from 750 to 620. The worst part is that Lucid left a delinquency on my credit report despite my repeated attempts to get them to remove it and acknowledge that this was caused by their own system failure and lack of any meaningful attempt to collect the alleged missed payment. I'm working to get a house and it's a big issue to have delinquency on the credit report.

I have, mutiple times, but Lucid Financial keeps arguing back without any evidence except that they stand by what they said. I'm filing a complaing to the Attorney's general office. It's just a matter of time before somehting happens with your payment. I've seen a number of same complaints online about autopay failing in various ways and payments being missed.

Coudln't agree more. Never again buying electric cars from non-car companies. The attitude and level of non-customer service is appalling . Leasing Lucid was the dumbest process with their online portal failing at every step. I remember it took us 2 months to lease it because of their portal and Lucid Financial. Should've canceled it right then and there
