Product: Vehicle loan or lease — Loan
Issue: Struggling to pay your loan — Denied request to lower payments
Company: CarMax, Inc.
State: IN

Complaint narrative:
I have a XXXX injury and I have been in XXXX  for the last few months, I contacted Carmax Auto Finance via phone to request a deferement extension on XXXX payments until I am home from the hospital. I spoke to a XXXX Who claimed she was a supervisor. Per XXXX I had To Pay {$360.00} in order to qualify for this deferrment to cover XXXX payment. I Sent my sister into to Carmax to pay {$370.00} XXXX. I called XXXX Back to Verify the payment was received she said yes and she would put in for my 2 month deferement she then advised that I would be back on track and the next payment would be due by XX/XX/XXXX with a XXXX  Day Grace Period. I Had My sister with me on the phone and she wrote down what XXXX Advised me to do so I could qualify for the deferement. On XX/XX/XXXX I got a threatening email that I had to pay for XXXX payment or my car would be repossessed. I specifically explained to XXXX that my daughter drives and needs that car for school she gave me her word the XXXX deferments would be approved. They were not she did not honor what she advised me. I called back spoke to a XXXX and she give me her word she would pull the call I never heard back from her and she left a note on my account that the declined deferement stands. This company is extremely dishonest they promote to call them if you are having a financial hardship and when you do they do not help you. They will not waive any late fees, They will not let you change your due date and they are dishonest when you ask for a deferrement. I offered to fax in Proof that I am under my doctors care treating for a XXXX injury they told me it was not neccesscary. I also advised them that my husband was now deceased and I am now down to XXXX income they do not care. I wanted to bring this information to your attention because they do not honor what they are advising their customers. I trusted XXXX knew what she was doing. I would like them to provide a transcript of the call where XXXX promised me I would get XXXX deferements on the car to help me until I am out of the hospital. A company should honor what their supervisors tell consumers its not right to treat people this way. I explained to this woman in grave detail that I have a permanent XXXX that affects my spine and she was dishonest with me the entire time. She did not even have the decency to call me back and let me know that the deferments were not approved. That is incredibly evil to treat people this way. They offer services they do not provide

Complaint narrative:
Subject : Complaint Regarding Credit Scoring Practices and Consumer Treatment Dear Sir/Madam, I am writing to lodge a formal complaint about the current practices surrounding credit scoring and the treatment of consumers, especially in times of financial hardship. 

Firstly, I have observed and experienced firsthand that credit scores are quick to reflect negative information, resulting in rapid downgrades. In contrast, improvements in one 's financial behavior take an overly slow and inconsistent time to be reflected in their credit score. This asymmetry not only affects consumers ' ability to access credit but also implies a system that is unforgiving and does not adequately reward positive financial behavior.

Secondly, it is concerning that paying off debt, which is inherently a positive financial move, does not seem to be adequately recognized as such within the scoring system. This disincentivizes debt resolution and could potentially trap consumers in a cycle of debt.

Moreover, I believe there is a significant oversight in the lack of facilities or accommodations for individuals who lose their employment. The current system does not provide sufficient support for those who are actively trying to improve their financial situation by bootstrapping or seeking new employment opportunities.

The reliance on unemployment benefits as a means to support individuals during job transition or after redundancy is, in my experience, inefficient and inadequate. The process is often cumbersome, the support is minimal, and it does not align with the dynamic nature of the modern workforce nor the rapid pace of change in the job market.

In light of these concerns, I urge the CFPB to consider the following actions : 1. Review and address the imbalance in credit scoring dynamics to ensure timely recognition of positive financial behavior.

2. Recognize debt repayment more positively in credit scoring metrics.

3. Develop more supportive frameworks for individuals facing unemployment or financial disruption, which facilitate a smoother transition and empower consumers to regain financial stability.

I trust that the CFPB will take this complaint seriously and look into these issues with the aim of making necessary reforms that are fair and beneficial for all consumers.

Thank you for your attention to this matter. I am willing to provide further information or clarification as needed and look forward to your response. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX
