Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer
Sub-issue: Need information about your loan balance or loan terms

Complaint:
I have now waited months to receive any adequate information regarding my transaction history dating back to the beginning of the Covid-19 forbearance period. If I can not have access to this information, how am I supposed to make an educated decision with regards to how much I request to be refunded, or if I should request one at all? MOHELA is stalling, as they have been for months. I have sent them at least ten messages and received a reply stating refunds are delayed an additional 60-90 DAYS?! From when? This is madness, if I owed money my wages would be garnished by now. No information, no answering phone calls after hours on hold to be left on the line after two hours and then the elevator music just stops? Then to top it all off, no refund, and no idea how much it will be for. Help

Complaint:
This account was an insurance claim that was paid out by my insurance provider and the gap insurance provider at the time. The amount that is being reported as a charge off, was actually the amount that me and the company agreed would be wrote off because of the total loss insurance claim. I wrote the company to get validation of debt but the letter was returned to sender. Due to company being unreachable at the address on file. In compliance with 15 U.S. code 1681g ( 3 ) ( a ) ( ii ) ( b ) ( i ) ( ii ) which speaks on disclosure to consumers. The credit reporting company never provided information on how, who, and what information was used to say this account was verified. Being in violation of 15USC 1681e ( b ).

The attached 1099C from shows proof that this account can not be considered as debt. I had to file the amount on my return which the IRS says this is taxable income. Which makes the debt paid and the company policy is to discontinue any collection.

This is the second time this has happened with this company. Their collection calls are threatening as well as when you make a payment, they do not apply to the late charges say you have to notify them that you are paying late fees as well, but in the meantime, they will allow charges to mount and then try to repossess for the late fees. I spoke with a representative on Friday ( XX/XX/2023 ) and let them know that I now get paid once a month the rep asked if I needed more time and I indicated that I did, he offered a payment extension and I also advised that I could make 2 payments on the 30th of the month. He said that would be ok and proceeded with the extension. The very next day on XX/XX/2023 another representative called, and I advised that I just spoken with a rep the day before and he stated because my arrangement wasn't an option that Westlake approved it was not acceptable, he proceeded to advise that my account was 16 days past due and up for review of repossession. He was very threatening, so I hung they have called nonstop since then. I have 16 more payments on this loan, please help me with this company.

Sub-product: Checking account
Issue: Managing an account
Sub-issue: Deposits and withdrawals

Complaint:
On XX/XX/22 I deposited {$4700.00} into my checking account at TD Bank NA The deposit consisted of a {$3700.00} check drawn on my own personal account at XXXX XXXX and {$1000.00} cash I was handed a deposit receipt. 

The receipt said NOTHING about a hold on the check. 

I came to find out the next day by looking at my account online that the bank slapped a 6 business day hold on the {$3700.00} check. 

By the way, my account at TD has been open more than 10 years. 

Also, by the way, XXXX paid the check on the VERY SAME DAY the check was deposited at TD BANK I went to the bank to complain, I called various departments none were helpfull. 

Apparently the department that slaps these holds on checks is not reachable by other bank personnel including the fraud department. 

The bank made NO PART of this check available as is required by Federal law either the same day or the next day. 

Interestingly enough today ( XX/XX/XXXX ) I received a notice from TD dated XX/XX/XXXX that they were placing a hold on my check. 

These people need to be sanctioned, fined, and placed under special supervision. 

I spent hours of my time trying to remedy this situation.
