Company: ONEMAIN FINANCIAL HOLDINGS, LLC.
State: PA

Complaint narrative:
My problem is with the company One Main Financial of XXXX, PA. I had fallen behind on payments this past XXXX, around XXXX or XX/XX/XXXX due to a temporary set back from illness. Someone named XXXX called & left messages on my cell, which I am fine with. However, he then, left a very detailed message on my work phone. This is a number & voicemail that my boss & co-workers have access to. The following day, he called again on my work number. I answered & told him that it was my work number and to not call it again. In the months that followed, I got caught up on my payments. 

However, a few weeks ago, I had a complication during a medical procedure & had to stay in the hospital for a few days. So I'm late again with my payment, which I full intend to get caught up on as my situation is temporary. Immediately, I began receiving the calls including, two more phone calls on my office phone, the number that they were told to NOT call, the most recent being today, XX/XX/XXXX.

Company: HYUNDAI CAPITAL AMERICA
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
I leased a car from the Hyundai XXXX dealership and when my lease was up in XX/XX/XXXX, I was told by the dealership if I leased a new car that day ( XX/XX/XXXX ), they would waive the Wear and Tear fee on the vehicle I was turning in. I went home happy with a new XXXX XXXX lease and an intact credit score. 

Months later, I received a letter from XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ) saying I owe a {$620.00} Wear and Tear fee. I promptly called the dealership ( XX/XX/XXXX/XX/XX/XXXX ) and was assured they would be paying the fee to XXXX and I would have nothing to worry about and I would never hear from them again. 

Another few months pass ( now it is XX/XX/XXXX/XX/XX/XXXX ) and I start receiving multiple calls from the same number and finally answer, it was the Collections Agency calling because the dealership never paid the {$620.00} that they had promised me they would and consequently, XXXX sent me to Collections over it. 

I then go to the Hyundai dealership and the manager of the dealership writes a check for {$620.00} and sends it to the Collections Agency ( that they should have done months and months ago ). And everything was " settled ''. However, this caused MY credit score that I have worked so hard on, and I have never missed a payment EVER, to drop 70 points The managXXXX of the dealership wrote a letter for me to send to XXXX stating I was not the responsible party for this payment and it should be removed from my credit report, which I sent to the HMF Direct Dispute address as certified mail along with a copy of my credit report and a letter explaining the situation on XX/XX/XXXX. I have filed complaints with the 3 credit bureaus as well, but the information on my credit report remains the same.

Company: Gatestone & Co. International Inc.
State: MO

Complaint narrative:
XXXX XXXX XXXX said in print my account # XXXX for phone # XXXX was 'month to month ' on their billing site. Haven't had a contract in over 10 years. XX/XX/XXXX changed carrier. No place on billing site to say " stop service ''. XXXX XXXX XXXX continued to charge me a monthly fee even tho there was NO activity on my account. They sent emails, but i thought they were ads to induce me to stay a customer, as my account said it was MONTH TO MONTH. Assumed that means if you don't pay, you don't have an account. I did not realize the account was accruing monthly usage fees ( FOR NO USAGE ) until they sent a collections letter in XX/XX/XXXX. XXXX XXXX XXXX says a " pay as you go '' account is the only account stopped if the next monthly payment is not received, and that my " month to month '' account can not be stopped simply by no payment and no activity. There is NO WAY on billing page to stop service. XXXX XXXX XXXX 's service personnel confirmed that. Also said they could not get into my account b/c it had already been sent to collections. Called phone # on letter from XXXX XXXX XXXX, they gave me collections # which is GATESTONE XXXX which is connected with spurious business practices re collections. I offered Gatestone $ XXXX/month to pay off this ridiculous charge. Gatestone threatened me with immediate credit ruination if i did not pay $ 63/XXXX. XXXX XXXX XXXX uses DECEPTIVE BUSINESS PRACTICES as well as a spurious collection agency to collect these unearned fees.

Company: Prohealth Care, Inc
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I received notification through a credit monitoring service that I had a past due balance of {$70.00} for a medical appointment several months prior. At no point in time did I receive notification ( written or verbal ) from either the medical office involved or the collections agency. The debt collector fraudulently reported the total amount owed as 4 separate past due balances totaling {$70.00} to the credit bureau, seriously affecting my creditmoreso than one derogatory mark. Since I first discovered the debt through my credit monitoring service, I should not be expected to have paid earlier, nor penalized with derogatory marks. Upon discovering it, I did verify it, and paid it as soon as possible. The CFPB needs to step in here to prevent this company from fraudulently and viciously trashing my credit, and reach out to XXXX to remove these marks ASAP.

Any resale of a repossessed vehicle must be conducted in a commercially reasonable manner. Your creditor doesnt have to get the highest possible price for the vehicle or even a good price. But a resale price that is below fair market value may indicate that the sale was not commercially reasonable. Commercially reasonable may depend on the standard sales practices in your area.
