Company: Conn's, Inc.
State: LA

Complaint narrative:
I purchased a new bed fro m Conn 's   XXXX , LA store in  XXXX  of  2017 . At the time of the purchase, I was shown a balance owed of  XXXX . When I received the invoice 2 days la ter ( an d after delivery ), the invoice showed a balance of  $ 1300+. I contacted Conn 's, w ho told me that there was insurance added to the bill. I remembered at that point that during the signature process ( which was done on a tablet ), the salesman conveniently expanded the screen so I could n't read what I was signing. I asked why and was told it was required, unless I had proof of homeowner 's insurance. I rushed to the store to provide it, to be told that they 'might ' remove it, but that it would n't change the payments . After 2-3 weeks of conversing with the company daily, I was finally told it was removed after 2 weeks. When I looked at my account, there was a small charge for interest for the time the insurance was on the bill. I then asked for a full accounting of the account, including when I would stop making payments. I a lso asked them to refund the interest amount on the insurance, which was refused. I have refused to make payments on the bed because none of this has been done, and I simply do not trust the company at this point.

Company: Ditech Financial LLC

Complaint narrative:
XXXX  applied an impound account to our mortgage due to unpaid property taxes (  XXXX  ). These taxes were included in our bankruptcy and should not have been paid to  XXXX . Our attorney opened a motion with the courts and  XXXX  then removed the impound account. Looking back at our monthly payments with   XXXX   during the time they applied the impound account it looks as if they miss applied the funds making it look as if we were a month behind. Moving forward  XXXX   sold to Green Tree and then to Ditech. O ur final payment to  XXXX  was on  XXXX / XXXX /  XXXX   but was applied to  XXXX  instead of  XXXX . We were still in bankruptcy so we were unaware of this, as this is not noted on any of our statements. At the end of our bankruptcy in  XXXX  we were contacted b y Ditech sayi ng we were 30 days late on our payment. We have disputed this with  XXXX ,  Green Tree and Ditech. Nobody from any of these companies have given us a date as to when a   payment was missed. It all started during the escrow impound account that   XXXX    imposed on our account. We have bank statements showing all payments were made. There should be no late payments reporting in   XXXX  . Please review proof of payment history and Bankruptcy documents.

This complaint is against the co mpany " Transworld Systems ''.      Currently, they are reporting that I owe them a total of {$1400.00} on my credit.     I have never had any dealings or communication with this company so there is no reason for them to be reporting an unpaid debt on my credit report.     Why did they not send me a notice of my right to dispute this debt before they reported it to my credit?     I 've done some research online and I have only come across negative reviews and complaints by other consumers who have been harassed and scammed by this company. I will not give my money to a company I do not recognize and who will not tell me why they want me to pay them.

My report indicates that the account has an " open date '' of  XXXX   2016 .

Complaint narrative:
I have attempted to short sale my home for the last year with the repetitive declines stating that the offer was not sufficient. We have asked for a valuation dispute and was advised that we were not eligible to dispute the value of the home. This last review I was advised that the offer of {$370000.00} was not valid - and that the offer needs to be {$470000.00}. The bank was sent an offer for {$470000.00} and they are now stating that the file is denied due to an invalid offer.     Please help me have my file accurately reviewed as the Bank is not acting in good faith with my situation and it seems that they wanted to foreclose on my home no matter what.

Company: Avid Acceptance, LLC
State: VA

Complaint narrative:
First of all, I owe more than what the vehicle is valued a difference of over {$12000.00}.   I was initially told that the fact I missed a payment in  XXXX  I was never caught up, which I have never been over 30 days late. I also did not miss a payment, I overpaid and the customer service representative stated that I did not have anything due till  XXXX . They also tend to make threatening phone calls, stating they will repo your vehicle even if you  are 1 or  2 days late and after they repo the vehicle they will also garnish your paycheck. They charge daily interest fees which was not included in the contract and they are also not willing to work with you on your payments, no matter what the situ ation may be. Unabl e to trade in the vehicle due to the value and loan amount still owed on the vehicle, which is literally the same amount of a new vehicle. With the extreme interest rates and finance charges and fees, one would never be able to pay off a vehicle with this company, you will literally be stuck. I do n't understand how this company is even in business or able to conduct business.   Please READ the contract before signing, especially if it 's AVID ACCEPTANCE!   They are worse than havin g a Student Loan!

Complaint narrative:
I have been paying monthly installments to a debt that I had let go to collections. For the past year and a half I have been paying {$300.00} to  TransWorld Systems Incorporated to pay off a debt of ~ {$16000.00}. I set up  automatic withdrawals with  TSI  and I had received monthly invoices giving me notice of adjusted balance. This month  (   XXXX ,  2017  ) I looked at my credit report and it noted that specific debt had been closed out  ( a total of ~  {$12000.00} at this point ). I also noted that I had not received notice of automatic withdrawal. The regular amount of {$300.00} was still withdrawn from my account. I want to inquire as to why I am still having money removed from my account when the debt has been closed on my credit reports, and I want to inquire if it is reasonable that I have not received notice of the most recent automatic withdraw?
