Company: COLUMBIA BANKING SYSTEM, INC.
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
I had opened an equipment loan ( semi-truck ) with Financial Pacific Leading ( FINPAC ) in XXXX of XXXX. I had an hardship problem from XX/XX/XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXX/XX/XXXX. I was originally had to put down {$2800.00}, and my payments were {$2000.00} a month, but due to my hardship, it ballooned to {$2300.00}. I originally filed a complaint about the loan, because I was unaware that {$60000.00} loan that I applied for would have to be paid over double the amount ( {$120000.00} which includes the down payment of {$2800.00} ). I filed a complaint about it because it was not explained to me the total amount of the loan. When I filed the complaint in regards to the predatory lending practices and hidden fees and the lack of explaining the amount of the loan, I was only provided the contract with the monthly amount and the 60 months payment period and addendum to contract. The lender refused to renegotiate lowering the payments or the loan. I have been struggling to make payments on the loan, even though I explained to them my financial struggles. They always refer to the contract/contracts. The lender has been relentless in receiving payments and threatening to repossess my equipment. I have not been able to talk to anyone that would help me resolve this matter as of yet. The practices and rules with FINPAC has to change. They are doing bad business, and they are being intentionally deceptive with their lending practices and hidden fees. To make things even more bizarre, each month, they are changing representatives to harass me for payments. Then, you can't login and find out anything regarding your loan, payment history, outstanding balance, etc. I have never encounter anything like this with a lender. You have to call and request what you want.
