I took out a car through honda fiancial services and i was always good on my payments. Recently unfortunatly i was laid off my job, about 4months ago. I was able to keep up with the payments till about 2 months ago and about every week or so honda fin. Would call me and ask about what was going on which i had told them a bunch of times that i was laid off. Any ways most recently i call them back due to a voicemail they left me and i spoke to one of there representatives, which at first was very polite. I called them because of course im concern of my finacial situation. I was trying to look for a solution or help see what i could do so i mention a couple things i heard they could possibly do, and immediatly she turn to this unfiltered, unprofessional, and agressive person. Saying that what ever i heard was wrong that i should know its my responsiblity to pay the payment. I still kept my cool and explained how i didnt ask to get laid off. She still was very rude and said you have to figure it out, again i would tell her more of my situation and again " you have to figure it out '' thats all she had to say.

Honda Financials for a leased vehicle confirmed that a payoff payment was received form a 3rd party and that they have validated and processed the payoff. They send me the payoff confirmation, lien release and title. I proceeded to hand over the vehicle to the buyer. 

Honda now tells me that payment was not realized and has opened my account back up again. the buyer has since disappeared and sold the car to a Honda dealer, who is now listing the car for a sale Honda takes NO Ownership and can not explain why they released title without confirming funds were received. I have no way to recover the money nor fight honda in court. the bill i have to pay exceed {$24000.00} How can a financial institution release title without confirming funds.

Complaint:
In XXXX XXXX I took out a title loan on my XXXX XXXX XXXX. I borrowed {$1900.00} from Check City located on XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, Utah. I was unable to make my payment in XXXX. I contacted Check City and advised them of my circumstance. They assured me everything was okay and to make the payments as soon as I could.

In XXXX there were XXXX payments made each an automatic withdrawal from my bank account in the amount of {$270.00} totaling {$530.00}.

Stating I owed {$1300.00} plus an additional {$320.00} for repossession fee.

If it were not for these fees my loan would have been paid in full with XXXX last payment of less then {$40.00}. My vehicle should have never been at risk for repossession if it were not for the unregulated tactics of this title loan company.

Company: STATE FARM BANK, FSB
State: FL
Product: Bank account or service
Sub-product: (CD) Certificate of deposit
Issue: Account opening, closing, or management

Complaint:
I have XXXX certificates of deposit with State Farm Bank that I opened over two years ago. and each CD has a term of five years. When I opened them I elected to have interest automatically transferred to my checking account at another bank, since State Farm Bank has no branches and I already have bills paid out of another established checking account.. This was critical to me because I 'm a retired senior citizen and I depend on the interest from those certificates to pay my bills on a timely basis. I just received notice that State Farm will no longer credit the CD interest to my checking account, and they unilaterally decided to capitalize the interest on the CDs. When I called to complain, they stated that the only other option was for them to send me a check in the mail, or for me to open a State Farm Bank checking account. This is extremely inconvenient for me, as I would have to depend on the mail to receive the checks, can not depend on the date, and then I have to physically deposit the checks. All of this delays payment and I feel like they are trying to coerce me into opening another account at State Farm Bank. .If I had known this, I would not have opened the CDs there. They are changing the game in the middle and it is not right. I do n't know how they have the authority to do this during the term, as I have a contract with them to keep my money there and they should have to comply with my directions.

Issue: Improper contact or sharing of info
Sub-issue: Talked to a third party about my debt

Complaint:
A company called United Recovery services has been continually harassing me with repeatedly phone calls daily about debt they can not provide full information on. I 've called and asked for how they obtained my information, and they hang up. Today, they contacted a family member that they obtained his phone number illegally and without his or my permission, then they proceeded to harass him on the phone, claiming his was lying about his identity. When he asked who they were and what they were calling about, they refused to give any information. This is absurd that a company is allowed to do this and to illegally obtain other people 's contact information and then lie about it.

Company: LoanCare, LLC
State: MD
Product: Mortgage
Sub-product: Conventional fixed mortgage
Issue: Loan servicing, payments, escrow account

Complaint:
My loan was transferred to LoanCare on XX/XX/XXXX. They told me I had to make a one-time payment for XX/XX/XXXX because auto monthly payments would not kick in until XX/XX/XXXX. In early XX/XX/XXXX, I made a one-time payment, which included {$5.00} late fee because I did not pay before XX/XX/XXXX, and I enrolled in auto monthly payments as well. The one-time late fee was supposed to be refunded because ( a ) it was impossible to make a payment before my loan was transferred and ( b ) they are not permitted to charge late fees in the first month. Contrary to what i was told, the auto monthly payments started in XX/XX/XXXX and I therefore made two payments in XX/XX/XXXX instead of one. I have asked countless times for a refund and they say the will, but never end following through.

Complaint:
We are currently in the process of a short sale. Unfortunately the lender 's inspector is making regular visits to our home and has stolen XXXX items from the home and continue to damage the property. Initially the locks were destroyed and now the garage door has been destroyed. It appears this individual is deliberately trying to further destroy our property every time we file a complaint about the damage to the property. The new buyer should not have to be responsible for repairing these damages because they were not there when she viewed the home and made an offer on the home. Every week we find some damage done inside of the home and the inspector is the only one with a key, besides my husband. This needs to stop!!!!

Product: Bank account or service
Sub-product: Checking account
Issue: Problems caused by my funds being low

Complaint:
Chase bank are making it increasingly difficult to ascertain the fees and charges they are racking up against my account. Recently, we had a couple of small payments with insufficient funds to cover. Usually, Chase will immediately show a {$34.00} fee for each item. However, they have taken the route of now HIDING those fees and BUNDLING them into XXXX charge as a part of the end of month statement. This is carefully planned by Chase, as it makes the fees very difficult to question or discuss. Often a substantial period of time has passed, so Chase can assume the client has forgotten about the incident, and therefore will not question the fees when charged at a later date. See attached letter.
