Company: TOYOTA MOTOR CREDIT CORPORATION
State: NC

Complaint narrative:
Company received payment in amount of {$3000.00} from warranty cancellation. This was applied to payments. Loan was rolled to being due for XX/XX/2017. The payment was then reversed and applied to principal. When the payment was reversed, my loan was put into a delinquent status for 2 months. A customer service member told me as a courtesy to me, they would take 2 payments out of the {$3000.00} payment that was applied to principal to my loan to bring me current. They never did so. When I called back to speak to a manager, he informed me I was given wrong information, even though he admitted they told me that, and that there was nothing they could do. My loan is now 2 payments delinquent and they have been reporting not only negatively on my credit, but my co-borrower. This is very unfair lending and false promises with unrealistic expectations. They told me they were going to do something so they should honor their word. This is not harming the company at all as they still would be receiving the same amount of money in either situation. This situation is putting undue hardship on myself as well as causing long term impacts to my credit and my co-borrowers credit for something we did not cause.

Company: TOYOTA MOTOR CREDIT CORPORATION
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
My husband and I had an auto loan with Toyota Financial Services since 2010. It has since been paid in full as of this year. Our credit history with them has been nothing less of perfection up until the last few months of the loan. There were several attempts on our end to make payments electronically as we had been for years. We received letters from Toyota Financial ( 3 of them ) apologizing for not being able to process our payments, even though funds were available. Due to this technical issue, our account became delinquent and recorded at 90 days late. Toyota Financial was able to remove one, but pointed us to the direction of their credit repair department ( whom you can not speak with and can only submit letters to ) Out of desperation, we wrote to them and apologized for the issue, though not being our fault at all, and requested they remove the negative information as my husband is unable to obtain a qualifying job position due to his credit report ( only negative info is from Toyota ) We have been dealing with this for over 3 months now with no resolve. Now, my family is dealing with the financial burdens of my husband being unable to secure a job due to this issue. We have a XXXX month old daughter XXXX.

Complaint narrative:
I purchased a XXXX from XXXX & XXXX XXXX on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX. The financier was a company by the nae of Carmel Financial who approved a revolving open ended charge account. On XXXX XXXX, XXXX, I received a letter from Carmel Financial notifying me that Carmel Financial Corporation Inc has sold my account to Aqua Finance and that the account has changed to a close ended, simple interest account. Shortly after that notice, I received a second notice from Aqua Finance notifying me that my account would be sold AGAIN to a third company - where the terms and conditions of the original contractual agreement would be changed again if I did not respond within 30 days of the notification. I called the number provided and stated that I did not agree to the second sale. During this same time I began receiving collection calls from Aqua Finance about an annual {$30.00} fee? Aqua Finance has been unable to reproduce a copy of the verbiage where I agreed to pay the annual fee. Now I am receiving late fee charges on statements for not paying the fee. I have never missed a payment at this point in time. 

As a consumer and a banking professional - Aqua Finance has conducted their business in an unethical manner at my expense. Transferring the original debt from company to company, all while changing the terms and conditions of the original contractual agreement to benefit their bottom line at the expense of customers. I have requested their lawyers contact me.

Complaint narrative:
Several years ago Union Bank of Ca switched my checking account from a standard account to one that required a {$10000.00} min and would pay interest. It also would charge me a higher fee if I did n't maintain the balance. I was never asked to switch accounts or contacted in any way. I just noticed the higher fees on my statement. I called and was told that a teller ( I recall XXXX ) in a branch in XXXX which I 'd never been to had made the change to my account after someone cashed my check at that branch. When I heard the XXXX story I realized this could have been a similar scam.

Company: Prospect Mortgage, LLC
State: AL

Complaint narrative:
I used Prospect Mortgage in XXXX Alabama on a residential home purchase. I had a contract on a home contingent on sale of mine. I had to close on my house by the XXXX of XXXX, in order to accept contract for sale. Me and my real estate agent both told the loan officer at Prospect what our deadline was, they said they could meet it, and we sent them information to begin the process on XXXX XXXX. 

The closing date comes, and Prospect has n't funded my loan. This is after they confirmed to us we were good to close. Then they come back and say the closing attorney is n't approved. So the attorney fills out paperwork and submits it. Then they say that can take up to several days. 

The XXXX, still no closing. The XXXX, no closing, so I emailed their consumer advocate. This seemed to get the ball rolling, although I never sensed any sort of urgency on their part. We closed on tuesday, the XXXX. 

Because of the missed closing date, I had to rent XXXX storage units and move XXXX, once to storage and from storage to my new house. I had to stay in a motel for XXXX nights. I had to throw away food I had no way to keep since storage units do n't have electricity for refrigeration. I lost time away from work. The loan officer said to keep a record and submit my expenses for reimbursement. 

I did submit almost XXXX dollars worth. Never during the process did the branch manager call me to apologize, or give me any indication that he was even concerned or involved. The processor that did my loan was fired, and the loan officer resigned, because they ca n't seem to meet closing dates. The branch manager, XXXX, refuses to reimburse me. He did n't even apologize except through email after his manager brought it to his attention. 

He has lied to me in every dealing with him, and there is an almost identical complaint about XXXX and the local branch on the consumer affairs page. My agent says her mortgage guy could have closed me in 3 weeks, I went 40 days with prospect. I have done XXXX mortgages, never ever had XXXX this bad.We were told multiple times we were good to close through this process, only to be delayed again and again.
