Can I work with a broker/service provider and with Aqua?

We aim to work with dealers in a manner that supports their business. Those that already work with a broker or service provider are likely best served that way. The same programs apply whether you work with us directly or through a broker or service provider.

Please call our Titling Department at 877-366-8406, option 4.

Do you require a notary on title applications/previous titles?

All title applications/previous titles need to be fully completed before being submitted to the state office, and they must include notarized customer signatures if required by the state issuing the title.

How do you determine what collateral needs a title and what needs a UCC (Uniform Commercial Code) financing statement?

We follow each state’s specific regulations, which can vary by size/length of units and trailer weight. If a unit requires a title, we’ll need the actual paper title and notice of lien to perfect the lien. We file UCCs on units that don’t require titles unless a dealer is specifically set up with us to file UCCs.

Where can I send questions and proof of lien documentation?

The Titling Department can be reached at 877-366-8406, option 5, ext. 6018 or by email at [email protected] .

Can I make additional payments without penalty?

We always encourage consumers to make additional payments and/or pay off their accounts early to reduce interest owing over the long term.

If your account is current with no outstanding charges (e.g., late fees), we will automatically apply all payments in excess of the monthly minimum to your principal balance. Please contact our Customer Support Department at 800-234-3663, option 4, ext. 6091 for assistance.

Billing

Will l receive a monthly statement?

We send monthly statements for all account types except Retail Installment Contract accounts that use Aqua’s recurring ACH payment service (also known as automatic withdrawals).

What if the balance or amount due on my monthly statement is wrong?

If you think your monthly statement is inaccurate, it may be because you mailed in or made a payment that is not yet reflected on your statement. Please contact our Customer Support Department at 800-234-3663, option 4, ext. 6091 for your current balance and to discuss any account questions.

I recently signed up automatic payments (AutoPay) on my account, but am unable to access my account when I try to sign in?

If you need assistance, contact our Customer Support Department at 800-234-3663, option 4, ext. 6091.

I have a “Same-as-Cash” promotion, but I still see interest accruing on my statement. Why is that?

You chose an offer where interest accrues during a promotional period, but the interest is waived if you pay your account in full by the promotion end date. The promotion end date appears on your monthly statements.

Minimum monthly payments are required during the promotional period. During this time your account accrues interest. If you do not pay the principal amount in full by the promotion end date, you will owe the balance of the account plus all accrued interest. The required minimum monthly payments will be allocated to accrued interest first before paying down the principal balance.
