Tred Reviews 

I started the purchase of the vehicle, credit approved and all the paperwork ready, the owner sold vehicle to a neighbor and did not report to tred.
I already purchased a vehicle that was already sold outside tred.
All I got from TRED was a sorry vehicle sold, lowered my credit score and wasted my time.

They are over here SLORPGLORPIN on anyone with a cent to their name. Blumpkin addicts the whole lot of them. I would pee on them if I wasn't 100% positive that they would lap it up in delight.

Worst company I’ve ever used. They hold your money and ask where it comes from lol. Two payments sent and they never arrived in my account over £1100 total. There isn’t a contact number to call them and you can’t even send payments to people as they don’t let it happen. DO NOT APPLY FOR THIS ACCOUNT

I advertise my car and I sold it in 5 days! Better price the other apps or even carmax, the app is very easy to navigate, excellent costumer service and it makes the process short and easy. Best $19 spend ever.

Saw a vehicle advertised on Autotrade.com. Made an inquiry about purchasing, when clicking the link I was directed to tred.com the
sellers "selling agent". Vehicle was offered at $9980.00. I made an offer purchase. Communication came back the offer was
declined; I increased my offer to full advertised price of $9980. and agreed to all advertised fees. I clicked on the Buy Now option
and I was offered to use their financing or provide my own, never a place to post a deposit. I selected to apply for my own. I didn't
want them to hit my credit report, I have access to a credit line. When I clicked on providing my financing
which they offered me, I sent the commitment of the fund. I was then required to provide a transferring plate #, 3 photos of myself, my
driver's license, and details of my car insurance to include my home address, account number and insurance limits. I selected the buy it now option. I was not provided
an immediate payment option. vehicle owner Michael M stated he would continue to attempt to sell the vehicle anyway. I was confused as I gave
them everything they asked for with their buy now option and the site displayed a sale pending icon. They, tred.com also provided me
a box to check stating I understood I was legally obligation to complete the sale, I selected that box knowing I would. On 6/27/22 I
was notified the vehicle was sold for more money and it was not to me. I had agreed to the asking price they asked for. I provided
detailed information to tred.com as requested by tred.com, I applied for financing and sent the document showing it was approved. I
feel this was a bait and switch advertisement and they knew they were never going to sell if for asking advertised low ball price. They also had photos of
me, was there something about me they didn't like? If I was only an inquiry, why would they ask for all my personal information to
include, transferring plate number, insurance details, photos, driver's license, it wasn't to drive the vehicle. I applied for credit, my
credit score went down with the inquiry, if I knew they never planned to sell it for asking price, I would not have applied for funds to
decrease my credit score. This whole transaction was emotionally damaging as they kept showing the vehicle for other buyers while
telling me I was legally obligated to be buy it and then they never sold it to me. Why was the legal obligation one sided? On 6/26/22
they also changed the asking advertised price of the vehicle to a slightly higher amount on their web-site. This WAS NOT a bidding site for them to do that. I was not even asked to meet a higher offer. It was sold from under me for
more money as they stated in their email to me on 6/27/22 with an apology that the vehicle was no longer for sale. This is wrong.

I do not trust this company and I think they are using this site to collect data as well as biometric images of individuals. I attempted to list my car, a 2019 AMG C43. I answered all their questions to see if the car qualified and after answering all their questions and not being told there was any problem they have you upload your drivers license, then they have you link your bank account and as a form of verification they take your biometric face image.

All of this I thought was very intrusive for someone to list my car for sale. Then after doing all of this the next day they send me an email saying the don't list "leased cars" - However, they asked that question very early in the process, to which I answered it was a leased car. Yet they continued to collect all my Financial and Personal data.

I have asked the all my data be immediately purged from their system to which they replied they keep it for 30 days. I firmly believe they are using my information and most likely selling the biometrics to a data base company. DO NOT TRUST THIS COMPANY. LIST YOUR CAR ELSEWHERE AS THEY ARE VERY DECEITFUL.

My experience with the closing service as a buyer was good but only because I AM a vehicle title agent and was able to do the lien searches and all the transfer of ownership paperwork myself. And still was charged by them to take my correct paperwork and process it even though I could have walk it over to the DMV and got my own plate. They were very nice and the transaction was positive overall otherwise.

UPDATE: WE BOUGHT AN EXTENDED WARRANTY through Tred they offered on the spot at closing. We sold the truck so cancelled it a few months later. I called them on 4/13/22 to cancel. It was an ASE Warranty and the Tred rep gave me their number. Two weeks later I find out that ASE gave the ok to send me 75% of the premium minus $25 processing fee. I should have the check in a few days. Today is May 18th. I called for the 10th time and they said its on a form for someone to eventually get around to writing a check and then they will send it in the regular mail to my home that is on Country Circle that they thru this whole experience has called COUNTY Circle. And its coming Pony Express with a wrong address. The longer it takes for me to get the check, the longer they get to play with my money. Its exactly 5 weeks since my initial call. the longest I've ever waited for a warranty return before this is 10 days. I am beyond pissed off.

They almost cost a buyer $110,000.. A Doctor in Texas was buying my Ford Raptor from me, and YES trucks are that expense right now.. We had a deal, he headed to his bank (Wells Fargo), and since $110K is a lot of cash, his banker called Tred customer support to get confirmation of wiring instructions (every smart person does this), and after waiting 20 mins on the phone, the TRED support gave the wrong number, and the banker at Wells confirmed it was going to different account the Tred, and Tred banks at Wells Fargo.. Buyer was so SCARED that he almost lost $110K (would of if his banker had not called) he decided not buy the truck.. So I lost, buyer lost, and TRED is making the seller experience EVER more risky then selling a car just by yourself.. DO NOT RISK working with Tred, there systems might send your buyers $$ to the wrong place.

Don't bother trying to contact anyone at the TRED office. They say they open at 6am but I called several times between 6 and 8am...no one ever picked up the phone. Also, the buyer I tried to contact didn't respond to in app texts or the test drive request. This service is useless!

After 2 1/2 days trying to get an account set up I finally was able to send a message to the seller. During the setup they want a copy of your divers license, front and back, last 4 of your SS# and your payment info just to set up an account. I did not give them any payment info and I regret giving them any other info. I requested from the seller to give me a call or send me their number so I could get some questions answered. The responded with "its very clean and its $18k" The listed price on TRED and Autotrader is $15,029. I called TRED to ask them about this this and they said it was the sellers prerogative to set the price. I asked TRED if they are ok with advertising a car for 20% lower than thew true price which they did not respond to. I then stated it sounded like a bait and switch and then they hung up on me. The 2 times I spoke with customer service they were unfriendly, 1 was even rude and both were EXTREMELY unknowledgeable about simple questions. I will NEVER have anything to do with TRED again!!!!

Absolute schiesse! TRED collected $5k from some poor kid and then tried to extort me for tons of personal data like bank account number, social security number, driver's license, and even car title. Told them to kick rocks but the kid didn't get his money back for >2 weeks. Company is SHADY AF!

I was very interested on a car that I found on Tred, which had been cross-posted on FB marketplace. It turns out that the ad was originally on AutoTrader, and Tred merely scraped the listing and reposted it as their own. Via a very frustrating chat with one of their customer service reps, I was able to learn the following:

They claim to be "partnered with" AutoTrader, but the seller doesn't actively know their car is even listed on Tred.com. They get an "email" telling them if a test drive is requested, an offer is made, chat is initiated, or even if "Buy Now" is performed. However, and here's the kicker, the seller in this instance is under no obligation to accept, or even acknowledge the "Buy Now" action, but Tred STILL takes your money.

They will initiate the ACH or Credit Card transaction and hold your money in escrow, even if the seller never responds to or otherwise acknowledges the emails from Tred. This is an incredibly misleading, unethical business practice that they are anything but upfront about, instead choosing to be very vague and indirect in their chat responses unless challenged.

In theory, this could be a great service, but the absolutely dishonest way these listings are shown and the money is held before a contract is signed by both parties is reason enough to avoid this service entirely. Top that off with the other horror stories you see here by sellers and buyers alike, and I regret even creating an account with this scam of a business.

Trying to list my car was like getting a mortgage. So many forms and documents and uploading personal information. Plus, they charge as you go. Oh, want pictures of your car? That’s more too. They get paid, and we do all the work, before they even list the car. No thanks.

Called on a couple vehicles listed with tred no reply…

They brought me a buyer who I sold my vehicle to. So that's something. Otherwise it was a lot of bait and switch tactics.

I figured $99 was a pretty good deal to advertise my car across several websites. I had been looking at $49 with just autotrader.com. I even paid extra to have more photos. Unfortunately when I looked on autotrader.com the listing they posted for my car only had 4 photos. It looks like the extra photos, or even the standard amount only applies to tred.com

So after I pay them, then they start having me jump through hoops. Upload a copy of the title. Prove your identity, add a bank account. Oh, you need to go get an inspection. If I had known all this up front I wouldn't have paid.

I had two buyers baulk at buying because it was through tred.com and they had read so many bad reviews. I ended up selling privately myself.

As a buyer it stunk. I tried to finance with them and got approved. They ran my credit. Then did not contact the seller so after a week I had to cancel. I will not use them again.

They were great,took alot of hassle from me.Worth peace of mind on all documents

Well I have used cars.com before and tried to use them again. They led me to TRED. I signed up paid my $19 and after 2 weeks never got a call or a lead. At end of 2 weeks got a mail to lower my price.

They can buy your car too and they offered under $15k.

2015 X5 with 126k miles - good condition - single owner - no major accidents.

I sold it to Autonation who offered me $17.5k - when I went there they lowered to $16.5k. Still a bit scammy but TRED was hopeless. And they claim they get 30% above trade in price - total BS.

I don’t know if they will charge me $99 for cancelling yet.

I wished I read some of these reviews on TRED but they were not able to get my car sold for a decent price after 4 weeks so I sold my car outside of their site for much less and still got charged $99. Wasted 4 weeks with them. Such a rip off.

Do not use them, They charge you the $99 when you take down the listing, I think a lot of my interested parties were bots. Sold it to a Dealer they charged me anyway
