Company: PENNYMAC LOAN SERVICES, LLC.
State: IN

Complaint narrative:
I have been trying to get this corrected. I made an on-time payment to PennyMac from my Bank Account on XX/XX/XXXX for an XX/XX/XXXX Payment. It was sent electronically from XXXX XXXX to PennyMac. PennyMac tries to say that the payment did not go through. They have called three times to collect the payment from me. Two of these times are AFTER I stated that it was paid. They claim to see the attempted payment but claim there was not a success code and thus it was not a payment. My bank shows it as successful. Twice PennyMac claimed they would research it and get rid of the late fee. However, the late fee keeps reappearing as does the online record showing a late payment. Along with that, they keep calling me asking me where my payment is. They are incompetent.

Company: UNITED SERVICES AUTOMOBILE ASSOCIATION
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
My name is XXXX XXXX and I have a USAA auto loan ending in XXXX. I contacted USAA in XX/XX/2020 to request a Covid-19 related extension USAA gave a 30 day extension. At the time of my request the stay at home orders had only been for 2 weeks and since then have been extended well into in the middle of XXXX. I have been deeply impacted by Covid-19. Last week ( Week of XX/XX/2020 ) I contacted USAA to ask for a second extension and to my disappointment I spoke with 3 representatives each of which at random times cold transferred me to a new Represenative each of which had limited to no helpful information or authority in which to assist me. My autoload is due XX/XX/2020 and work is at a complete standstill in fact I am now unemployed and have not even gotten any benefits or stimulus payments. I am requesting that USAA differ payments on this loan by 60 days. Furthermore, I am very disappointed in the mishandling of this entire matter based on last weeks phone call to USAA. Please communicate with me in writing only, do not call me, do not record me if you do call me.
