Consumer complaint received 2023-03-02 00:00:00
Product: Vehicle loan or lease — Lease
Issue: Managing the loan or lease — Billing problem
Company: HYUNDAI CAPITAL AMERICA
State: NM

Complaint narrative:
On my XXXX statement Hyundai Motor Finance ( HMF ) started charging me sales tax on my leased vehicle ( following my move from MD to NM ). However, since I initially leased my vehicle in MD, I paid all the sales tax on the full purchase price of the vehicle up front. I started calling HMF in XXXX to resolve this issue, and now, in XXXX of XXXX, they STILL have not removed those fraudulent charges. 

Back in XXXX of XXXX I was told by someone in Customer Service that all I needed to provide was documentation from the NM  DMV to prove that I owed no tax on the vehicle. I faxed that documentation ( my Application for Vehicle Title and Registration ) on XXXX and called shortly thereafter to confirm it was received by their sales tax department. That document ( signed by the MVD ), explicitly states that the tax due on my vehicle is {$0.00}. However, on my XXXX statement I was AGAIN charged sales tax. 

At this point, I have been lied to numerous times by different people working at both HMF Customer Service as well as their Collections department. I have been told at various times that they are collecting sales tax for the state of NM, the XXXX XXXX XXXX  XXXX, and even the state of MD. None of those are true, as evidenced by both the DMV documentation I provided, as well as the fact that HMF started charging me this additional fee in XXXX of XXXX, while the vehicle wasn't even registered in NM until XXXX. 

Now HMF has escalated to harassment - I get calls almost daily from their collections department, and when I try to reach back out to Customer Service to figure out why they haven't removed the illegal sales tax charges, I always get routed to Collections. Even worse, when I talk to Collections and ask them to transfer me to a Supervisor or Customer Service, they tell me they won't unless I pay the " past due '' amount. Now I am literally being extorted for {$90.00} just so that I can talk to Customer Service and ask them why they haven't done their job. 

In short, HMF has been dishonest, harassing, and illegally charging me for " sales tax '' for over 6 months. I need help resolving this issue, because HMF is unwilling to acknowledge the fact that they are extorting me for money that I do not owe the state of NM.

Company: JPMORGAN CHASE & CO.

Complaint narrative:
Also on XXXX2022 again, a charge of {$68.00} was posted on my credit card from a merchant called " XXXX XXXX '' while the service was never provided. I contacted my bank and explained them that " XXXX is a an online marketing website where you can book cars and they will assign you to a rental car agency to take a rental car. So when I made the transaction online at XXXX, they assigned me to a rental car agency that is no longer operational. So I have to look for another rental car agency where I even paid extremely higher than what I should pay because it was a last minute rental. I explained that to my bank but they still not take appropriate actions to remove it from my credit card.
