Product: Vehicle loan or lease — Lease
Issue: Problems at the end of the loan or lease — Termination fees or other problem when ending the lease early
Company: HYUNDAI CAPITAL AMERICA
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
In XX/XX/XXXX I leased a car with XXXXXXXX XXXX in XXXX, NY ( 3 year lease ). In the winter of XX/XX/XXXX I started receiving calls from XXXX XXXX offering me the opportunity to turn my lease in early. XXXX XXXX kept on calling me until finally ( in XX/XX/XXXX ) I went in to listen to the offer. Before even attempting to listen to the car salesman, I asked if I would be required to pay any money ( at all ). The man insisted I would not. The car I was turning in was way under the mileage amount and there were no damages to the car ( besides a few stains on the seat which I absolutely would admit to ). When all was said and done, I turned in my lease and exchanged it for a new lease. I decided that I would come back to exchange the cars due to the fact that I needed to clear items out of the trunk. I returned to exchange cars and, again, asked the salesman if everything was set and done. I asked if the car is okay and all set, and the man insisted " yes yes everything is taken care of. '' Like I should have imagined, it was n't. In the summer of XX/XX/XXXX I  received a bill. I called XXXX XXXX XXXX  requesting a rundown of this bill. The man on the phone could not tell me what I was being charged for and someone said that they would call me back. No one ever called me back. In Fall of XX/XX/XXXX I received a bill from a credit reporting agency. Hyundai had sent the bill to a XXXX XXXX  XXXX. I went into Hyundai demanding to know why I owed the money. The manager of XXXX XXXX claimed upon inspection the car had damages totaling to such a large amount. They also mentioned some kind of fee in which I am required to pay because they did not get the amount of money that they wanted at auction. I told them that I am not paying this bill due to the fact that this inspection was done with none of my input and out of my sight. As well, I was not informed of other fees even though I consistently asked if there would be other fees. Furthermore, even though XXXX XXXX XXXX sent this bill to collections, they are still reporting it as late EVERY MONTH on my credit report. I am taking them to small claims court but I also need something to be done about the reporting that they are doing. It is not right and they participate in predatory practices and underhanded transactions. They preyed upon individuals and when all is said and done they do n't do anything to assist you.

Product: Debt collection — Credit card debt
Issue: False statements or representation — Attempted to collect wrong amount
Company: GMA Investments, LLC
State: MD

Complaint narrative:
I was paying XXXX XXXX XXXX dollars monthly. When XXXX came and payment was due ( automatic payments deducted from my bank debit card ), the card was declined. What happened was that someone tried to use my bankcard and my credit union called because of suspicious activity. I had to get a new debit card. XXXX then called me and said that my card did n't take. I said, oh, yes, my card had unauthorized usage and i had to get another card. The representative was nice and apologized that something like that had happened to me. The representative said she need to connect me to the department that will take the missed payment. I said, ok thank you. Once I was transferred, the agent tacked on XXXX extra dollars, stating that it will be added every month until I am finished paying back my debt. I said, Why because the payment was declined, it was n't my fault, someone used my debit card and it had to be cancelled and replaced. The agent said that they were giving me a courtesy all of the months that I had been paying and now I will have to pay an extra XXXX dollars that does not go towards the amount I owe, it goes into their pockets. I never agreed to the extra XXXX and was never told about the extra XXXX. I feel like this is extortion.

Company: Coinbase, Inc.
State: WV

Complaint narrative:
In XXXX of XXXX, I invested funds with Coinbase, investing in Bitcoin and Eretheum. I sent funds into my Coinbase account several times. After Bitcoin gained significant value I tried to withdraw funds. I was locked out of my account and have been locked out with no ability to access my account for over 8 weeks. I have called Coinbase Customer Service many times. It was explained to me there is nothing they can do as they have a system problem due to an excess amount of business. They further explained to me that calling the customer service number to resolve the issue only hurts me because I get moved down the list in priority! I have had one supervisor, ( XXXX ) that said he would personally help me and to send him a screen shot of an error message. There was no reply or help from XXXX. I have been told a dozen times by customer service they ca n't help me! One representative even told me it is part of the risk of investing!! I explained to her it is not the investment that is the problem but the actions of Coinbase was the problem. All the while, my money is tied up in a downward market that I do not want to be in any longer but have no ability to withdraw the funds. Coinbase would not even freeze my account so I would not loose money with the declining market. My money is being lost simply because Coinbase refuses to give me access to my account!! I have lost thousands of dollars to date due to the incompetence ( and illegal actions ) of Coinbase. I have recorded phone calls and emails to  substantiate my acquisitions. This complaint is my last attempt to resolve this matter before I seek legal action against Coinbase.

Company: EOS Holdings, Inc.
State: VA

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX, I spoke with a EOS representative over the phone and agreed to pay {$340.00} to settle the debt. I inquired and was advised that the account would be updated and removed from all credit agencies that same day, however, it could take up to 30 days for all credit bureaus to update on their end. I received a letter via email which instructed me to pay {$340.00} on that day. I made the payment by credit card and did not think about this again. Approximately a month or so later, I checked my credit report, and noticed the account was still listed- however it stated " closed, settled less than full. I disputed this with the credit bureaus and was advised that the company had informed them that the account would continue to be listed until XX/XX/XXXX. Then I reviewed my credit card statement and noticed that I was charged more than the {$340.00} that was stated in the settlement letter. I was charged {$340.00}. In an effort to resolve this, I contacted the business by telephone at the end of XX/XX/XXXX and was advised that the additional amount charged was for using a credit card ( please note that I had no other choice but to pay with a card as I had to make a payment that day ). Furthermore, they claimed that the credit bureaus had been updated and disconnected the phone. On XX/XX/XXXX, I submitted in writing an extensive letter, again to correct this situation. I sent the letter via certified mail and requested that they contact me via certified mail ( for verification purposes in the event the matter goes to court ). In the letter I explained the situation and requested that they fix this. To this day, I have never received any response from the business. On XX/XX/XXXX, I submitted a complaint via the Better Business Bureau. I provided evidence regarding my allegations, however was unsuccessful. Please note, no evidence was provided by the business. On XX/XX/XXXX, BBB closed interest in the case as the business was not amenable to any changes. Please be advised that this business has reported my last name incorrectly to the credit bureaus. I have attempted to correct this with the company, to no avail. I am requesting that the business immediately remove all accounts from all credit reporting bureaus immediately and update my name with the credit bureaus. Please be advised that I have been denied a mortgage loan due to illegal practices by this business. I am requesting this company be investigated immediately and held accountable for their actions, so that other consumers are not targeted.

Company: AES/PHEAA
State: MO

Complaint narrative:
My payments have been deferred since day one on my student loans due to my family size versus my income. My loan payments have been reported late after I have completed all necessary paperwork and mailed it to the correct places. The first loan payment I have every made was this month XXXX. Before this date I have always been deferred on all of my student loan payments. One credit company removed all late payment from my report just recently after I filled a complaint. I filled the same complaint with XXXX and they did not remove the late payment. I could have never been late when all have been deferred for the life of the loan. This has cost me thousands in interest fees on other loans due to them reporting me late. Please remove all late payments from my report on all student loans since they could have never been late based on all loans being deferred for the entire life of the loan until XXXX. As of XXXX I started making income based payments on my student loans since I now make enough money versus my family size to do so.

Company: Larry H. Miller Group of Companies
State: AZ

Complaint narrative:
I was contacted by XXXX at Larry H Miller XXXX in XXXX AZ on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX stating that they may be able to get me into a new vehicle or better financing on my vehicle. I set an appointment for the weekend and selected a XXXX XXXX. I had negative equity in my XXXX XXXX. I was presented with terms for the new XXXX and was not comfortable with the payment. Upon a 2nd review by their financing department, the all of the sudden realized I still had equity in the warranty they sold me on the vehicle I was trading in. They were able to use this equity along with increasing how much they would give me for a trade to get me to a payment I agreed with. I was told by the salesman, XXXX, this would be my financing. It was explained to me that the way XXXX does their financing is they take your score and put it into brackets, whatever that bracket you fall into is what your rate and financing is. I signed financial documents including a truth in lending statement, power of attorney for the vehicle I was trading in and documents with my rate, terms, finance company name, payment and payment due date. These documents also include a breakdown of all fees, payoff of previous vehicle and services being financed. I signed these documents with XXXX and asked so if you guys cant do better, this is it and were done? No one is going to call and need more money? He assured me this was it but he didnt handle my type of loans so another person whos really good with old bankruptcies will see if he can do better. If they were able to get better financing I was going to go back XXXX  morning and resign new documents with the new financing. I did not hear back from XXXX, XXXX. I left a message with the receptionist, XXXX on XXXX afternoon and did not hear back. I called XXXX and reached, XXXX in the financing department. Expecting to hear they were unable to do better then XXXX XXXX, XXXX instead told me that I need either a co-signer or {$4500.00}. XXXX apologized and said its only about 1 out of 100 customers this happens too. That sounds like a lot of people they have been doing this to when you consider theyre one of the largest dealerships in the state. I provided a co-signer. I received a call today, XXXX  XXXX/XXXX/XXXX saying the co-signer is not enough and I would need the {$4500.00}. I am not being told I need to return the vehicle and take mine back. I was also told I will not be charged anything for the vehicle I have to return. I have not been told what happens to the {$500.00} doc fee I had to leave with them for electronic withdrawal. I am also contacting the FTC and our local media.

I further advised that if they did not correct this issue and refrain from reporting this inaccurate information, I would have no choice but to take further action. To date, XXXX has chosen not to respond.

I recently received a phone call from XXXX XXXX. They also contacted my mother and sister stating I owe them this money for XXXX XXXX for the same account.
