Consumer complaint: My husband and I purchased a vehicle through American Credit Acceptance ( ACA ) in XXXX 2014. In XXXX 2014, my husband was laid off. We immediately contacted ACA who advised that we did not qualify for a deferment, due to the loan being very new. We struggled to make payments and over the course of the next couple of months set up auto draft payment arrangements trying to stay afloat, wherein we were misinformed about the amounts needed to stay out of the repossession stage. After receiving additional collection calls, we were informed that the payments we 'd made went to late fees first, rather than pass due payments, which resulted in partial payments being applied and further delinquency ( we were totally lost and confused at this point ). From XXXX to XXXX several collection reps gave us different amonuts we needed to pay in order to become eligible for a XXXX month payment deferment. Each XXXX stating, '' Just pay this amount and we 'll get you deferred ''. Well after complying XXXX times, XXXX months and getting nowhere, we escalated to a supervisor in early XXXX. She apologized assured us that everything was okay and to make a {$420.00} payment through XXXX to stop the repossession status, call back immediately with the reference number and she would setup a XXXX month deferment to get us caught up. We went to the closest XXXX station inside our local XXXX immediately, made the payment and called back. Once again assured that everything was fine. We proceeded to get some things in XXXX and when we came out to get in the car, it was gone. We tried for months to get some help. The once courteous and optimistic Supervisor would not return our calls and no one would help us. We just received a collection notice advising that the vehicle was sold for XXXX and we owe them XXXX in remaining balance/fees. This company strung us along for several months and used unfair collection practices, like agreeing to false deferment options, to only collect payments and pinpoint our location to reposess our vehicle. As such, we would like to file a formal complaint against this finance company. This experience has been very stressful and put us in a very difficult situation. My husband did find work, but struggles everyday to get there. Please help us! 

Thanks

Consumer complaint: I am the victim of a financial fraud/scam. The perpetrator is now in prison. However, I am having issues, trying to resolve the financial fallout, with my bank ( Wells Fargo ) and Title Insurance Company ( XXXX XXXX ). I purchased an investment property that has a clouded title, but my title insurance company will not provide me with full coverage ( full legal defense ). In addition, Wells Fargo appears unwilling to work with me to unravel the financial damage of this fraud/scam I was a victim of. Please let me know if there is anything you can do to help me work through these issues with the bank and the title insurance company.

Consumer complaint: Company calls continually, yet wont tell me what this is about unless I disclose a ton of private information. I am certain this is about a paid doctor bill, that another company tried to collect on until I sent them my paid statement. It appears that company sold the debt to this company once they knew there was nothing to it. This company wont even attempt to let me prove I do not owe the debt.

Consumer complaint: Lending Tree is advertising 3.750 % APR 30 year fixed rates today and I work in the mortgage business and know full well there is no way that they could deliver that rate today. I have saved a copy of the ad ( screen shot ) for proof of this misleading advertisement. I also printed a copy of my absolute best rates today and a borrower getting the advertised 3.75 % APR 30 year fixed rate would have to pay {$6300.00} in fees + Closing Costs so the APR would be no where close to 3.75 % interest rate. I feel this advertisement is misleading customers and they are subject to a bait and switch.

Consumer complaint: Experian Credit reporting agency signed me up for for " credit monitoring '' without my consent then refused to refund the charge. The business model they have employed does not rely on selling a service, it relies on consumer not reading the tiny declaimer at the bottom of a web site that that you think is verifying identity, but unknown to the consumer they are being " subscribed ''. This may or may not be Fraudulent by the letter of the law but is CERTAINLY fraudulent by the spirit of the law.

Consumer complaint: I have a credit card with Suntrust bank with a {$2500.00} limit. About {$2000.00} is on the card. Minimum monthly payment was about {$59.00} - I 've been paying {$65.00} a month on time for XXXX years with no lateness. Was XXXX late in XXXX of this year - by mistake, did n't realize they 'd be close due to a holiday - bank assessed a {$35.00} late fee and raised my minimum payment. In XXXX was also XXXX day late due to XXXX that closed almost all business in TN. ( I live in XXXX ). but for the past XXXX months they 've still gotten {$65.00} every single month, only being late those XXXX times. Still, they assessed {$140.00} in late fees - and have raised the minimum to the point where I ca n't pay it - even after they 've been getting paid for XXXX months absolutely on time. They did agree to waive the late fees but even after paying my normal payment they 're insisting I pay them {$75.00} more this month or they 'll continue to assess " late fees '' and wo n't adjust the minimum payment. they claim there 's nothing they can do - and they wo n't guarantee my minimum payment will go back to where it was. I 'm between jobs and struggling to pay my basic bills - do I have any protections here? It 's not like I was weeks or months late - and it seems to me if they waived the late fees, it 's admitting they got paid. For them to act like the 'minimum payment ' they 've ( arbitrarily ) set is somehow beyond their control seems ludicrous. I still have good credit, and have XXXX other loans with them, both of which have been paid on time for years. 

help! 

best, XXXX XXXX, TN

Consumer complaint: On XX/XX/XXXX I received a debt collection letter stating I owed Commonwealth Financial Systems {$300.00} for a debt at XXXX XXXX which I have never heard of. I was asked to notify their office in writing if I disputed the validity of the debt within 30 days of me receiving the debt collection letter. I disputed the validity of the debt and asked for verification that this debt truly belonged to me. I asked for a break down of services provided. I also asked them to please not place anything on my credit report until the dispute was resolved. I did all of this in writing and sent the letter certified mail. Commonwealth Financial Systems received my letter on XX/XX/XXXX, well within my 30 day allotment. 

On XX/XX/XXXX I checked my credit report to find that they reported it to all XXXX bureaus which of course caused a XXXX point drop in my score. Once I noticed that they did indeed place the collection account on my credit and I still had n't received any mail validating the account I called their office. Once I reached a representative they confirmed that they did in fact receive my debt validation letter but did n't have any information to provide me about the debt owed. The only thing the representative could tell me was that he assumed it was a medical bill from XX/XX/XXXX but could n't provide anything else. I asked who to contact for an itemized bill stating services provided on that day and was told to contact XXXX XXXX XXXX. I asked for contact information for XXXX but the representative told me he could n't provide that information. 

I also explained that the certified letter I mailed them stated not to place any information on my credit report until the dispute was resolved. However, since this request was not obliged by Commonwealth Financial Systems in addition to the fact that I still have no information in regards to the debt I let the representative know that I would be filling a complaint and ended my conversation.

Consumer complaint: This collection agency XXXX sent my fiance ' the letter advising of her debt to XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, upon which she has disputed. We faxed her dispute letter directly to this agency on XX/XX/2015 requesting to validate the debt. We received another statement on XX/XX/2015 threatening credit reporting actions against her if she did not pay in full and did not send validation of the debt. This violates the right to dispute and is also considered overshadowing.

Consumer complaint: Last year I applied for a home loan modification thru wells Fargo. The experience was horrible to say the least. I was never deliquit on mortgage till they told me to stop paying the full amount and start paying the trial plan amount. This put a negative mark in my credit report that everyone sees with out looking into as Serious Deliquit. After you find out what happen it shows loan modification. But based on the credit inquiries that 's the first thing they see when pull credit and it makes me look bad cause I never had to this day serious deliquit till after all that. The process was a nightmare from not getting my phone calls returned because my home preservation person was never there always out of the office. Left XXXX some voices mails being for a call back come to find out she 's been gone for a while. Her mail box was full, no help from them, getting hung up on cause they did n't wan na talk to me. Was reassigned someone else towards the end after begging and asking for help. Just picture having a deadline and then not being able to talk to the person handling your case cause she 's been out of the office for a month. Would like the serious deliquit removed please.

Consumer complaint: Greentree mortgage company gave us a loan XXXX years ago at a 12+ interest rate. It was a predatory loan that we paid {$700.00} a month on for XXXX years. When this home was purchased it cost us {$56000.00} after XXXX years we owed {$64000.00}. They would not adjust our interest rate because they said it was private investors. They charged {$55.00} a day for every day we were late on our payment. This practice should be illegal and they should not be able to try to collect this amount from us because we have paid the cost of the house at approximately {$110000.00} and still owe {$8000.00} more than the original price of the home. This debt should be forgiven and should not impact our credit rating

Consumer complaint: I have been dealing with Wells Fargo trying to refianance my current mortgage with them under HARP. They approached me last year regarding my qualifying under HARP.

They remommended that I contact the Wells Fargo Insurance department. After contacting them I was told that they do not provide insurance for multi families, over XXXX stories, built prior to 1950. Complete waste of time and money.

Consumer complaint: My name is XXXX XXXX and I live at XXXX XXXX XXXX in XXXX, GA XXXX and my lender is Wells FArgo with a loan number of XXXX an im a victim of malicous illegal acts done by my lender. After a year of communication trying to get a more affordable mortgage to keep my home Wells Fargo has lead me on a path to ultimately take my home. It was determined after a year that they denied me ( according to XXXX in the rentry department ( XXXX is the number she gave for her id ) for a program saying that XXXX nor XXXX loans have programs for individual who has an origination date of XXXX XXXX and on. If this was the case then all that was done was a elaborate waist of time to the point where my mortgage is so far behind ( because XXXX informed me that on XXXX XXXX that file needed to be deliquent 30 days or more to submit for a modification so I had to stop making payments just to get help ) it makes is almost impossible to catch up. I was also told that my income wasnt sufficient so I was able to get more income by obtaining a roommate and was told once I did this to provide the proof with bank statements, lease, and utility bills.but even when I did this I was told I couldnt and wouldnt be look at for the program. It is my understanding that the reentry team has hard decline my file in an attempt not to allow it to be looked at again. I have had a modification in the past and it still didnt help my affordability so I applied for another XXXX and now they give me the reason because I have a XXXX loan and it was originated after XX/XX/XXXX that I dont qualify for any programs. Then on the very next day XXXX XXXX I receive a letter in the mail saying that I was turn down from assistance because there wasnt a sufficient change in circumstance but the fact is that my circumstance was never reviewed because upon asking for other documents to place in the review process I had already been turned down by this department so noone ever looked to see if my circumstance had truely changed which it did. The big issue is that if fannie mae doesnt have a program for me because of my origination date then it doesnt matter if I make XXXX times or XXXX times the payment I would never qualify and this all would have been a complete waist but this doesnt seem tru because as I stated before Ive gotten a modification before so whats really going on. So there are truely unexplained situations, indifferences, going on internally and now Wells has a foreclosure date set for XXXX XXXX. At this point I have no choice but to alert all for as a senior citizens that just wants to keep their home Im truely bei8ng done wrong.

Consumer complaint: Debt collector contacted my place of employment and told them that they would take legal action against me if i did not get the message to call them by the end of the day ...

Consumer complaint: I had a XXXX in XX/XX/XXXX. had XXXX followed by XXXX & XXXX. By the time I was released to go back home some of the bills had already gone past due and were sent to collections.

Consumer complaint: Hello, In 2008 I went to Best Buy and ended up signing for their " My Best Buy Card '' and " Best Buy Master Card. Recently while taking a closer look to my finances I realized that they had been charging me with something call " Debt Protection ''. I tough that high payments for years were for a high APR. I never signed for that " protection program ''. I called best buy and they transfer me to the bank. They then told me they were going to send a request for my money in both cards. Then, 30 days later I got a letter in which they gave me {$30.00} back. But I had been paying for years at least is a XXXX what I want back. Then I called again asking for proof that I had signed for the program. 30 Days later I got another letter with no proof and they were giving me back {$15.00}. Then I call again and they simply told me that they were going to request again proof but is just simply a fraud. I politely asked to speak with someone who could escalate my claim, but the representative told me thats all they can do is send requests and wait. He told me there is no other department or phone number he can refer me too. This is very frustrating. What can I do? I am a very responsible person, I pay my cards every month on time. I am not XXXX those who want to get out of the deal. I just want what is fair, I am paying for stuff that I bought with high APR because that was the " deal '' and what I signed for, but is very frustrating to see that they take advantage and charge you with fees for something that I never agreed. 
I have been dealing with this for months and no resolution with them. Whats my next step. 

Thank you.
