Company: Auto Trakk, LLC
State: FL
Product: Vehicle loan or lease
Sub-product: Lease
Issue: Problems at the end of the loan or lease
Sub-issue: Termination fees or other problem when ending the lease early

Complaint:
I had an auto loan ( which I later discovered was actually a lease ) through this company. The vehicle was covered with GAP insurance as required ( which I received through the company they got me approved with ) It was my first car with a payment so I had no idea that they were misleading from the very beginning. During my term, the vehicle was involved in an accident in which it was a total loss. I was told that the car would be paid off ( as it was not my fault -- and my insurance company paid their portion ) and the GAP insurance would cover the rest. As far as I knew the obligation was satisfied in full until I received a copy of my credit report showing this as a charge-off. At this point, this derogatory mark is affecting my credit situation and the issue was supposed to be resolved. I never received any paperwork stating that I had any further obligation so I just do n't understand what is the deal. I attempted to file a complaint with the BBB but they show NO RECORD of this company. I am currently looking at their website! How could this be??? Please help!

Complaint:
Wells Fargo filed a foreclosure with the XXXX County courts on last Tuesday ( XXXX/XXXX/XXXX ). A Case Management Conference has been set for XXXX/XXXX/XXXX at XXXX. They have n't even served me as of today ( XXXX/XXXX/XXXX ), but yet " questionable '' summons have been submitted to the courts. My mailbox has been inundated with letters from local attorneys attempting to solicit my business on a matter that I knew nothing about. I tried to get another HAMP modification after my hardship began on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX, but I was told verbally and in writing that I did n't qualify because 2 years had n't passed since my last application. I have reached out to Wells Fargo more times than I care to count and only to be denied further assistance from their rude and unprofessional customer service representatives. I had to go online to find the Homeowner Financial Assistance Form and Hardship Affidavit Form in order to submit my modification packet on today ( XXXX/XXXX/XXXX ). I 'm awaiting a response from their Home Preservation Department.

Issue: Account opening, closing, or management

Complaint:
I 've had Wells Fargo as my bank for a few years now. And every time I go into the bank they try to get me to open another account. I had a normal checking and savings account. However, about two years ago they had me open a second checking and savings account because they told me it was safer to have to different checking accounts. However, then I got charged fees for the other checking account because I did n't have enough money in it or because I did n't use my debit card enough. Even though they told me the separate checking account was for my direct deposit only. Let me clarify, they told me it was safer to have a checking account for direct deposit and then a separate checking account for my debit card. But then I was charged a fee for not using a debit card with the direct deposit account. I hate going into the bank, because when I walk in I 'm immediately attacked by all the tellers, yelling and calling me over to their window. Half the time I went through the drive thru window they told me they had to have me come inside and speak to a banker and I ended up with another checking account, another savings account, and a credit card. In the past few months I 've been taking money management classes. I maybe make {$1600.00} a month. Why do I need that split up into XXXX accounts? Why are they convincing me I need all these accounts when I barely have enough money in XXXX account? And then when I do n't have enough money I get charged a fee, even if I have money in the other XXXX accounts. How does that make sense?

Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem
Sub-issue: Investigation took more than 30 days

Complaint:
Dear Equifax Consumer Relations, I am writing this letter to express my deep frustration and concern regarding the lack of response to a dispute letter I sent to Equifax on XX/XX/23. It is disheartening to note that my dispute was neither acknowledged nor addressed, and Equifax has failed to update and note this on my consumer report. This situation is deeply troubling as it significantly impacts my creditworthiness and appears to be a violation of my rights under 15 US Code 1681s-2. 

As a diligent consumer, I exercised my right to dispute inaccurate information on my credit report through a formal letter sent to Equifax. However, to my dismay, Equifax has neglected its obligation to respond and rectify any inaccuracies in a timely manner. This lack of responsiveness and failure to acknowledge my dispute raises questions about the integrity and reliability of Equifax 's credit reporting practices. 

Under the provisions of 15 US Code 1681s-2, consumers have the right to dispute inaccuracies on their credit reports, and credit reporting agencies, including Equifax, are legally obligated to investigate and correct any errors promptly. The non-compliance with this statutory obligation is deeply concerning and undermines the confidence consumers place in credit reporting agencies. 

I want to stress that the accuracy of my credit report is of utmost importance to my financial standing and overall well-being. Inaccurate information can have severe repercussions on my ability to obtain credit, secure favorable interest rates, and make significant financial decisions. The negligence displayed by Equifax in handling my dispute threatens my financial reputation and stability.

Complaint:
RESIDENTCOLLECT INC claims I broke lease by not providing " Intent to Vacate Notice '' and that I owe 2 months rent. I have document that proves I gave 30-Day Notice with copy of Military Orders. Document was signed by Property Management personnel on XXXX XXXX 2011. After finding out I was in collection, I called property manager and she agreed to remove account from collection which never happened. Collector did not accept my document and became abusive, used profanity and obscene language and threatened me with legal action. I am very frustrated because now the property management company at XXXX XXXX XXXX is no longer a business and the new property management company can not help me out. I feel that the burden of proof is on me and I have provided a document that shows that the property management office received and verified military orders in support of execution of my military clause and RESIDENTCOLLECT INC is undermining that. I feel this collection agency is abusive and is taking advantage of me as a consumer. I feel the document provided should have been sufficient to remove my account from collections immediately. What needs to be asked is what instrument ( s ) are using to claim I owe anything? You will find my document sufficient evidence to refute their baseless claim. They should be held liable as well for their rude and offensive behavior. Please have them provide any and all phone conversations they have had with me so that you can see how they have violated my rights as a consumer. this account needs to be removed from collections immediately.

Complaint:
XXXX XXXX opened an " Essential Business Checking '' account with Wells Fargo in XXXX and I was told there would be no fees - I took a picture of what the banker wrote on my welcome booklet and Wells Fargo has confirmed that, that type of account was free because I have a mortgage account with them. Less than a month later, on XXXX XXXX, Wells Fargo changed my account to " Business Choice Checking '' without telling me and began charging me a $ XXXX monthly fee. No one at Wells Fargo can explain why this change took place and they simply said they no longer offer the Essentials Bus Banking. I was told by the CS rep at Wells Fargo that I was notified either by email or mail but I was not. I have also checked the secure emails that they sent to me within my online banking. They are refusing to refund the {$14.00} fee and I now have to go close out all my accounts with them. Here is what they wrote after I emailed them my complaint : " I received your email inquiring about changes to your account. I know how frustrating it is when unexpected fees are assessed. 

Effective XXXX/XXXX/2015, your Essential Business Checking account waschanged to Business Choice Checking. The account will have a new $ XXXXXXXXmonthly service fee. I regret that I am not able toreimburse the fee at this time. " I would just like there to be a record of Wells Fargo 's shady business practices.

I have a secured credit card with Wells Fargo. I was renting a car with XXXX. I left my secured credit card as collateral there. When I paid with the car, however, I used my debit card. XXXX accidentally charged XXXX my credit and my debit card. They then reversed the charge on the credit card. Because this charge was over my limit, Wells Fargo closed the card and refused to reopen it even after XXXX admitted fault and reversed the charge. This has negatively affected my credit even though I did not authorize this charge to be made.

Sub-issue: Public record

Complaint:
My husband and I filed a Chapter XXXX Bankruptcy in XXXX of 2009. However, after filing it, we changed our mind and decided to simply deal with our debt. However, the attorney that we used did not tell us it would still remain on our credit report for the standard SEVEN years. So, for the last seven years, we have done our best to build our credit and actually have pretty good scores FINALLY. Everything I have read on the credit reporting agency 's websites and online indicates that a Chapter XXXX will be removed after SEVEN years. After checking our credit scores and reports, we noticed that Equifax had not removed the Bankruptcy. XXXX and XXXX removed it automatically. I have filed a dispute online with Equifax, however with limited options with their online dispute form, they responded that the Bankruptcy was reporting correctly. I then typed up a very detailed letter, along with information from their own website showing that a Chapter XXXX should be removed after SEVEN years. I received a response from them indicating that I did not provide enough information. I am frustrated and do not know what else to do. Equifax simply refuses to remove the Bankruptcy. I would also like to reiterate that WE DID NOT GO FORWARD WITH THE BANKRUPTY and paid our bills. The laws or regulations regarding this type of transaction incident should be changed to enable the bankruptcy to be removed once it is determined that it was not proceeded with. A simple filing should not stay on a credit report as if it was done. It 's simply not just. I am hoping that this agency can get Equifax to remove the Bankruptcy. Thank you.
