American First Finance Lawsuit: How Did It Happen?
According to a class action complaint, American First Finance is an unregulated lender that deceived people into getting loans with interest rates that surpass the maximum legal limit. Plaintiff Larry Facio contended that American First Finance is not authorized to provide lending in California and refuses to disclose the important features of the loans they provide illegally.

Facio wished to represent a California Class of customers who purchased products or services from retail establishments linked with the lender and who are or claim to be, bound by the lender’s security agreement.
The Claims of the Plaintiff Put American First Finance under a Lawsuit
When he acquired tires for his automobile from Roseville Wheels & Tires in 2017, the plaintiff claimed he was never advised that his transaction was being backed by American First Finance or what the financing conditions would be.
Facio said he was assured he wouldn’t have to pay any interest on the tires if he made the full payment within 100 days, but he was charged an “exorbitant” interest rate and was only notified his loan had been allocated to American First Finance after contacting the merchant. Mr. Facio would’ve refused to finalize the transaction if he had known the interest rates as well as other terms of the loan, according to the class action lawsuit.
American First Finances Provided Documentation
The complainant claimed that he was forced to sign a security agreement during his purchase but was never told the financing details. “Mr. Facio was unaware of American First Finance and assumed that his payment would be sent to Roseville Wheels & Tires,” according to the class action lawsuit. “He was not shown the computer’s face, so he could not understand what he was endorsing by e-signing on the little electronic pad.”
According to the class action complaint, American First Finance later produced documentation for Facio, but it demonstrated that the purchase contract was not hand-allocated but rather machine-generated.
