No credit card required
Browse credit cards from a variety of issuers to see if there's a better card for you.
Read what you are signing, as in loan documents. If you had signed a Cap1 document, agreeing to pay them $X in return for loaning you the money, you would be financed with Cap1. Otherwise, you are telling us that he forged your signature on documents and went with PNC without your consent. PNC didn't just loan you money based on the HP, they would need documents signed by you and processed to them agreeing for you to pay them. But if you didn't sign anything for PNC, enjoy driving your free car.

Chris679 thanks for the advice. Question, (because I really want to learn and not repeat this situation) what do you mean read what I'm signing? Cap 1 was on my paperwork. I read that. They didn't like stick any hidden fees. Do you mean in reference to the DP? I believe that should have been more of me being persistent with the loan officer don't you think? Or are you speaking about something else? Like is there typically a caveat in auto loan paperwork stating they can change the lender from what's written/typed?
Also, the HP for the re-fi doesn't guarantee that I will get the same 5.76% originally offered :/ That's the risk that I'm contemplating.
^^^I think, but I'm not sure, that there is a provision in the standard auto finance contract that allows the car dealership to change lenders. Read your contract to see what it says. BTW, I totally understand your frustration. If it were me, I would refi just so the dealership doesn't get the commission on the finance part of the transaction after pulling a fast one like they did with you. Naturally, you want to know before you refi that you will get a better interest rate than the current rate. If you can't verify that, then be careful. Don't go through the dealer for your refi (they don't refi anyway). Go directly to a lender,
