Company: Santander Consumer USA Holdings Inc.
State: CA
Product: Consumer Loan
Sub-product: Vehicle loan
Issue: Problems when you are unable to pay

Complaint:
They repossessed my car when the payment was only two days late. When I contacted them I was told they sold it. They never once sent me any notices or gave me the right to cure. Generally, the secured creditor must give the consumer the right to reinstate. ( Cal. Civil Code XXXX ) The finance company must provide notice to the consumer of its intent, ( Notice of Intent ) to dispose ( resell ) the vehicle within 60 days of the repossession and at least 15 days prior to resale ( 20 days if the notice is coming from out of state ). The ( Notice of Intent ) must contain all the disclosures required by Cal. Civil Code XXXX ( XXXX ) ( XXXX ). Among the disclosures required is the consumer 's right to 'redeem ' by paying the balance of the loan. Strict compliance is required with these requirements : if the secured creditor fails to strictly comply, it will be absolutely barred from collecting any deficiency. XXXX ( XXXX XXXX, CA ) wanted $ XXXX to return my personal belongings. Repo men have a duty under Bus. & Prof. Code XXXX to provide notice to the consumers that they have this property prior to disposing of it. Although there is no private right of action under the B & P Code sections, consumers could seek compensation through the Unfair Competition Law, Bus. & Prof. Code XXXX et seq. Disposing of the property could also constitute a violation of the Rosenthal Act. In fact I have received nothing from them at all not even one phone call. Yet the OMV contacted me saying the registration has been suspended cause I did n't pay my car insurance. The car in fact is still registered to me. 
Also all my paperwork for the loan was in the glove box and they have deactivated online access to my account.

Company: Duncan Solutions, lnc.
State: TX
Product: Debt collection
Sub-product: Other (i.e. phone, health club, etc.)
Issue: False statements or representation
Sub-issue: Attempted to collect wrong amount

Complaint:
The XXXX is using deceptive practices in an attempt to benefit from an increase in late fees due to a system limitation and/or flawed process. I had a negative balance in my toll tag account which I do not dispute. As such, I received invoices and subsequently deposited {$100.00} in my toll tag account. The {$100.00} would have covered several invoice balances and would have eliminated the accural of additional late charges. XXXX did not credit the surplus funds to my outstanding balances and as such continued to collect late charges. They sent XXXX invoices to " collections '' while they were sitting on {$100.00} in the toll tag account. They told me they were not able to waive the excessive late fees because the system did not work that way and would not automatically transfer the funds. You have to call to do that and that is not disclosed anywhere. As such, they continued to collect late charges based on an aging criteria. 1. XXXX needs to fix their system so if there is a balance added to the toll tag account it will be automatically applied to any outstanding bills. 2. They should also be able to be applied to balances in collections and waive those late fees if it their was a balance in the toll tag account as their " collections '' department is in house and owned by the XXXX. My total late charges paid were 56 % times the amount of my original toll. Unpaid balances should be paid by surplus toll tag account on a XXXX basis. Banks are cited for these sort of practices, so why should n't the government be held to the same standard? Example : Toll charge 1= XXXX Toll Charge 2= {$26.00} Total for that invoice is {$88.00}. Late Charges are {$70.00}. A total amount of {$150.00} was sent to ( in-house XXXX ) collections. Collections attempted to collect on {$150.00} while I had {$100.00} surplus balance in my toll tag account. In addition, there were newer oustanding invoice balances that continued to accrue late charges as that surplus balance remained in tact.

Complaint:
I have a Zales account - which is a Citibank product. I am behind on payments and am trying to make a minimum payment. Their website will allow me to pay only THEIR minimum payment which includes all arrears - {$590.00}. I do n't have that much and would like to make a smaller payment, but their website will not allow me to do that. I want to pay - I just can not catch up right now ( going through divorce ). Should n't they accept any payment? After the first year, they added over {$1000.00} in interest to a {$2500.00} bill. Insane!

Company: CITIBANK, N.A.
State: CT
Product: Credit card
Issue: Billing statement

Complaint:
I have held a Macy 's store credit card for 30 years. Earlier in 2015 Macy 's mandated that all cardholders be converted to an XXXX XXXX card. Since that time I have been unable to access my statements on-line or receive e-Bills. But since I had n't used the card in some time I was n't too concerned. On XXXX XXXX, 2015 I used my Macy 's card for a small purchase. I have been anxious to receive the statement so I could pay the bill. I tried again to access the information on-line thru Macy's.com but found myself trapped in an endless circle of error messages. I tried calling XXXX customer service numbers provided XXXX in those messages and on my Macy 's card and XXXX times - despite the phone system confirming their operating hours on a Sunday as XXXX ( and I am in the XXXX ) - their system then asked me to call back during normal business hours ... and hung up on me. Eventually I found a standard Macy 's customer service number and began the odyssey of speaking to XXXX different people ; being forced to repeat the complaint to each person. The last person I spoke to was in their debt collection area - which I did n't understand. I used the card 3 weeks ago, how could it already be late - and how could I know since I was n't receiving any statements thru any method of contact. After a difficult phone call with this last person, who refused to listen to my complaint, insinuated that I had provided incorrect information to Macy 's - which we confirmed they had on-record correctly. The final straw? Being told my account is past due and what are my plans to bring payment up-to-date. After telling XXXX people that I have n't received a statement in months, that I did make a purchase 3 weeks ago and just want to get my account squared away on-line so I could make my payment ... I 'm treated like a person who is evading their debt. It 's all bad enough for any customer but for someone who has been a loyal customer for 30 years ... it 's beyond the pale. The last Macy 's employee I spoke with refused to send me an electronic bill, refused to offer any reasonable solution to the issue of not receiving any kind of statement at all and then demanding payment for a statement I never received. This is grotesque incompetence.

Company: CITIBANK, N.A.
State: KS
Product: Credit card
Issue: Late fee

Complaint:
I opened a Best Buy credit card on XXXX XXXX, XXXX. My payments have been on time every month until XXXX XXXX. The due date was XXXX XXXX and with the excitement of the holidays and being out of town for New Years, I missed the payment. After I paid both the XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX amounts due well before the XX/XX/XXXX due date, I messaged Best Buy via secure messaging through their website requesting a late fee waiver. I was sent a standard response stating the fee could not be waived. I asked a 2nd time and mentioned that most companies strive to treat each customer fairly and on XXXX XXXX, XXXX, my fiancee also opened a Best Buy credit card. She missed 1 payment prior to XX/XX/XXXX so her history with the company at that time was even shorter than mine is now but her late fee was promptly removed upon her request, also sent via secure messaging on the Best Buy website. I let them know that I expect the same courtesy to be extended to my account. These accounts are in no way related so it 's not that we had already received our XXXX waiver per 12 mos. as is the policy for most banks. The 2nd secure message I received from Best Buy was the same response I received the XXXX time, a standardized message that was copied and pasted, again denying my request for a late fee waiver. I did some research on UDAP to see if they were allowed to grant a waiver for XXXX customer and not for another and actually found that the Card Act specifies the XXXX late fee on any credit card account should not exceed {$25.00}. Citi Bank, which finances the Best Buy credit card, is charging {$27.00}. My fiancee also works for a bank and they only charge {$25.00} for the first late fee. So not only is Citi Bank/Best Buy treating customers unfairly when asking for the first late fee waiver but they are also charging more than the {$25.00} standard the Card Act legalized. I would like this looked into in order to see if they are violating both Card Act for charging {$27.00} and UDAP for inflicting monetary harm on more than XXXX persons ( every customer charged {$2.00} more than the legal amount for their first late fee will add up to a lot ).

Complaint:
A dispute was submitted on XX/XX/20 and I received no response regarding my dispute results. I also have a credit monitoring account with XXXX and updated my reports after 35 days from the date my letters were mailed and it is very obvious that my dispute investigations were not processed as any of the disputed accounts have no remarks that the account is being disputed by the consumer. This credit reporting agency is using the protection of the CFPB 's relaxed approach to the 30 day rules and should be back to full compliance by now.
