Company: Westlake Services, LLC
State: GA
Product: Vehicle loan or lease
Sub-product: Loan
Issue: Problems at the end of the loan or lease
Sub-issue: Problem while selling or giving up the vehicle

Complaint:
The car was originally financed with XXXX  XXXX, from my knowledge the company is no loner in business and Westlake Portfolio took over our loan. The XXXX XXXX XXXX I purchased from XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX   in XXXX, GA came with numerous problems making it a Lemon Car. Within the first week of purchase the car had a {$1200.00} transmission issue I was able to get the place of purchase, to correct. 2 months later another issue with the catalytic converter arose making the car not passable for an emissions test, along with wheel bearing issues appearing all with in 2 months. The value of the car was drastically cut a year later making it only valued at {$4000.00}, half of what the {$8000.00} loan was for. With already {$5300.00} invested in a lemon car and taking a huge loss I could no longer afford to invest payments in a car I could not drive on the road and voluntarily gave the car back XX/XX/XXXX. I personally called their towing company and handed it over. I was willing to pay the difference of the value of the car and what I've already invested in the car since the purchase in XX/XX/XXXX. They sold the car for {$2400.00}. They've received double the value of the car from me already. I presented Westlake Portfolio a settlement offer and they refused to provide me a letter before I paid on the agreement we came up with stating if I paid they would remove the debt from my credit. They wanted me to pay first, then they'd send me a letter via DocuSign stating what we agreed to. After being persistent they provided me with a vague letter stating they'd report it as settled. Not the agreement for " settled, paid for deletion '' we came up with. I've had to deal with numerous rude reps who like to think they know more than the consumer and being threatened by XXXX XXXX, a supervisor in the charge-off department on XX/XX/XXXX who said " they have ways to get the money from me '' I had to remind him that debt collectors are not allowed to threaten the consumer for wage garnishment, send harassing phone calls etc. I disputed the amount owed with Westlake and do not take ownership of the debt account in anyway. I have come with a settlement amount with them and WAS willing to settle this debt just to be done with them as long as they provided me with some assurance before I paid them. The trust between me and this company is gone and I will not pay on a debt I do not agree I owe unless they provide me with a letter stating they'll do as they say because they've already threatened me.

Complaint:
Recovery One Address XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX OH XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX called me from a masked number XXXX She claimed that we owed XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX an amount around {$250.00} from XXXX of 2018. No proof was ever provided by Recovery One or XXXX XXXX as we paid at the time of replacement. No attempt was ever made before XX/XX/XXXX this year. No communication was ever attempted. When I mentioned this Ms. XXXX 's response was " guess you never check email or open letters. '' I replied that no letters or emails have been received. 
I said we needed proof or would not pay any debt. Her response was " then I'll put it on your credit and ruin it. '' When I tried to call back the calls were never returned. Not once. I called the main number and they transferred and hung up, denied I had the right number and won't return any calls. To be clear several aspects of the FDCPA ( 15 U.S.C. 1692 to 1692p ) have likely been violated by Recovery One. Listed below. 

place telephone calls to you without identifying the caller as a bill collector. 
communicate false credit information, such as failing to state that you dispute a debt. 
harm or threaten to harm you, another person, or your or another persons reputation or property. 
A debt collectors first communication with you must tell you that he or she is attempting to collect a debt and that any information obtained from you will be used for that purpose. 
In subsequent communications, the collector must tell you his or her and the collection agencys name. 

Not one of these above mentioned parts of the law were followed by Recovery One. 
I ask for immediate relief from these illegal tactics by Recovery One. 

Thank you, XXXX XXXX XXXX

Product: Credit card or prepaid card
Sub-product: General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Other features, terms, or problems
Sub-issue: Problem with rewards from credit card

Complaint:
I opened a XXXX XXXX credit card with US Bank on XX/XX/2021 and have been using the card for the last two months with no issues and paying the statement balance in full each time. On XX/XX/2021 I tried to make a purchase from XXXX and the card was declined twice. When I checked my online account login two days later, the account didnt appear at all. 

I called to inquire on the evening of Wed XX/XX/XXXX and the customer service agent told me that the account had actually been closed on XX/XX/XXXX and I would have to speak with account fraud services which was only open during business hours. I called back on Friday XX/XX/XXXX and finally reached the account fraud services who repeated that my account was closed for suspicious activity and that they had sent a letter explaining. I have not received this letter and could not get any further information from them. I concede that it is their prerogative to take away my credit account but to do so with no indication or apparent reason is concerning. 

I have no idea what activity could have triggered the account closure and also find it suspicious that this account closure occurred when I was close ( approximately {$2600.00} of {$3000.00} ) to reaching the spending threshold required to obtain the advertised account opening bonus of XXXX XXXX I would at least like a reasonable explanation for this account closure as this practice seems deceptive to me.
