Company: Bridgecrest Acceptance Corporation
State: OH
Product: Vehicle loan or lease
Sub-product: Loan
Issue: Struggling to pay your loan
Sub-issue: Loan balance remaining after the vehicle is repossessed and sold

Complaint:
The company that sold the vehicle, sold a lemon. The vehicle was unable to be driven after 23 days of possession. That is why there is such a high loan balance due after repossession. I was unaware that I was a legal co-signer, I thought I was a reference at the time I signed the co-sign paperwork. The individual summarized the paperwork and had me to sign it. I didn't realize I was a cosigner until it was on my credit report. During the repossession process I was never made aware of any delinquencies or given a chance to assume the loan and pay it off. Now, I am trying to make payment arrangements for a repossessed vehicle that wasn't mine and they are giving me a hard time. My wife called three times and they refuse to give us information or make payment arrangements for the remaining balance. She called three times today, the XX/XX/XXXX, and each time they ask to speak with both me and the person I co-signed for and I keep explaining that is not possible. The person I co signed for doesn't want to pay the balance because it was a lemon.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report
Sub-issue: Account information incorrect

Complaint:
Between the months of XXXX and XXXX, my account was closed, which is incorrect as my account has always been open. 
During this time my balance increased over {$5000.00}, which is incorrect. 
They reported my vehicle was repossessed, which was false reporting as my account has never been repoed. 
They changed my payment history from 75 % to below 20 %. 
Lastly, I emailed them from my same email address with my name and account information and they posted my payment to someone elses account. Im not listed on that account and never have been associated with that account. They now refuse to accept any type of emails from me, please see attachments. And refuse to accept over the phone payments. I call and call and no answer. Ive since had to use a separate phone number in order to get them to answer the phone.

Complaint:
Hello, I hope this note reaches you well. I recently have been trying to borrow credit for one of my four businesses. Though, I have a bankruptcy on my account which is false. I have been trying to have this removed for some time. It has been removed from 2 credit bureau 's but still on one, TransUnion. Therefore, I am unable to do my regular business transactions now. I'd really like to borrow money for my business and only have this single issue with my credit. I could borrow in the future since I'm a reliable borrower and pay back my debt. Though this negative remark on credit report hinders me doing business. I truly am a responsible person. I would really love the help in resolving this matter as soon as possible. 

Thank you. 
XXXX XXXX

Company: DISCOVER BANK
State: PA
Product: Student loan
Sub-product: Private student loan
Issue: Struggling to repay your loan
Sub-issue: Can't get other flexible options for repaying your loan

Complaint:
I graduated in 2012 and have been making payments monthly for a {$7500.00} Discover Student Loan. My current payoff is {$9800.00}. I have already paid $ XXXX towards this loan. That breaks down into {$1300.00} going towards principal and roughly {$7500.00} paid towards the interest. The interest alone is more than the original loan. So I asked them about lowering my interest rate or allowing me to refinance so that I can pay down more on the principal. The ONLY offer they have for lowering the interest rate is to save a quarter percent by switching to Auto Pay. They will not allow me to refinance with them and because of this loan I can not get another loan to cover it. I will end up paying triple for this loan and not even pay it off until I'm in my 50s.. Please help!
