Company: Thaxton Investment Corporation
State: SC
Product: Payday loan, title loan, or personal loan
Sub-product: Payday loan
Issue: Received a loan you didn't apply for

Complaint:
I was a victim of identity theft with multiple local loan companies in XXXX SC. My brother took out a personal loan using my social security number but his name, his ID, his work information, and his own personal address. I have contacted this company multiple times. I have offered to provide them with my ID, my proof of residence, and my work history. I was told they would get back to me. This process began in XX/XX/2017 when I first found out and it is still not settled. I want to respect the process however, my wife and I are in the process of buying a house and " we are waiting to hear back '' from a personal loan company is not what a lender wants to hear when they are trying to extend to us a couple hundred thousand dollars but can't because of an account like this. It is clear that my social security and his name are not a match. I need this removed and off my credit report ASAP.

State: MI
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 balance transfer

Complaint:
Apple Credit Cards ( Goldman Sachs ) refuses to both lower a 24 % rate and refuses to allow me to do an electronic balance transfer out in order to get a lower rate somewhere else. I have paid on a regular basis and my income has not changed, however I did use a cash advance which then changed my rate from 10 % to 24 %. I set up two balance transfers to have money go from Apple to XXXX XXXX. Apple states in their terms they have the right to refuse balance transfers.

Here 's the rub..the work around is that I can get XXXX XXXXXXXX to issue me a check and I can then pay from my bank account IF Apple declines the electronic transfer in time for me to still receive the lower rate offer. I have no control over this.

Apple should not be able to dictate how I move my balances out... especially if it is impacting my livelihood. I shouldn't have to spend hours figuring out a work around for a money-grabbing detail in fine print. 

Credit card companies could do a quick knowledge check by having consumers answer questions regarding their interest rates, their balance transfers, etc. rather than being clever about how the information is shared.

Complaint:
I initiated a complaint against XXXX  XXXX XXXX in ( XX/XX/2022 ) questioning whether I agreed to a payment arrangement that destroyed my good credit.

There is no evidence with my signature and/or voice recording that will substantiate a verified claim. So how did these agencies verify this complaint?

Product: Vehicle loan or lease

Sub-issue: Problem with the interest rate

Complaint:
I am struggling to pay a car note on a vehicle that is no longer anywhere near the value I currently owe. I did not have the best credit score at the time of the purchase of the vehicle and was provided with an interest rate of 16.95 %. I tried to get other financing at that point but I was denied. The car was sold to me at {$26000.00}. To date I have paid a little over {$22000.00} I have a remaining balance of {$20000.00}. I have not been able to refinance the car due to the XXXX XXXX value being between XXXX XXXX dollars. 

I have requested to get out of this loan many times as I can no longer afford it. I have attempted to get a lower interest rate from my bank however I was denied. 

At the time of the purchase the sales person told me I would be able to trade the car in within 3 years however i am so upside down in this loan no one will take this on. If I am stuck in this loan due to predatory lending I will pay almost double for this car.

I have been writing and calling XXXX XXXX XXXX since XX/XX/XXXX to investigate late payments I noticed on my credit reports. I have always paid on-time and as agreed with no problems. So the late payments on my credit reports were new to me when I discovered them earlier this year. First I contacted the company directly numerous times via telephone and written requests as they implied. They were being very difficult about investigating this from their responses, so I contacted the credit bureaus ( XXXX, XXXX  & Equifax ) to investigate the late payments for me. In return these companies never responded to my request.
