Complaint:
Hello On XX/XX/XXXX I contracted a individual secured auto loan for {$5800.00} with the XXXX, and monthly payments of {$120.00} were due on the XXXX of each month. The first part of XXXX I had lost half of my income and attempted to keep things a loft however things did fall behind, at the first part of XXXX I did fall behind on the loan however sporadic payments where made. On XX/XX/XXXX I received a call from XXXX collections I spent over an hour on the phone when over this account and another one. I believed had made myself clear that I was wanting to pay this loan off in full during this call and the XXXX rep never informed that the loan was about to be charged off I also had two pending payments one for XX/XX/XXXX & XX/XX/XXXX. It appears that the XX/XX/XXXX did not go thru, and they called and spoke with me again a couple of days later and also never updated me on the status of the account. My issue is XXXX never informed me that the loan was in a charge off status for me to prevent it, XXXX had several opportunities they should have provided this information either during the out bound calls or on my monthly statement, they hid what my account status from me. XXXX stated they sent my account to XXXX XXXX never spoke with XXXX they never contacted me, as I had already been in contact with XXXX charge off area and made them aware that the loan was going to be paid in full and was paid to them on XX/XX/XXXX not to XXXX so another lie from XXXX. Under the fair credit act XXXX should be updating the account holder of the status of the account in this case it was about to be charged off, XXXX should have never charged off the loan with out notifying me so I could attempt to correct the issue. 

Here is a short history what XXXX has put me thru when i asked why they charged off the loan and pulled the phone records 1st. I was told I hung up the call and that is why the loan was charged off 2nd. XXXX XXXX said I had made a promise payment that was missed and the loan went into charge off, and it is XXXX policy don't to discuses when a loan will be charged off with the account holder 3rd A combo between a missed payment and I told them not to call them, but the call on the XX/XX/XXXX & on a couple of days later was out bound call from XXXX collections so another lie My most recent call with XXXX XXXX I believe went well, however the response I received in writing did not match what she said. XXXX keeps changing their story trying to see what will fit to make them sound good in this issue, however this is bank error and needs to be corrected. The staff at XXXX will just lie so I have no other option to seek help here, so everyone can see what XXXX lending practices or lack of them.
