Product: Vehicle loan or lease — Loan

Company: Tesla, Inc.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
We purchased Tesla model XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX We paid XXXX XXXX down, traded one car and took a loan of {$45000.00}. The contract was between me, my wife and Tesla motors Inc. The contract specifies terms of loan and when the payment starts. It does not mention any 3rd party that will service this loan. Till date there is no communication from Tesla that our auto loan will be serviced by 3rd party and who is that 3rd party. Since we paid 50 % down Tesla had my bank information and we were told that we will have auto pay for the loan. 

Last week when checking my XXXX XXXX I realized that around XX/XX/XXXX my score is severely impacted. I could not find any details, so I logged into XXXX and found that XXXX XXXX XXXX has put charges on me as I was 90day past due on auto loan. Then I searched for communication from XXXX XXXX and found an email from them in spam around XX/XX/XXXX saying that they will service our auto loan. It could have been any other bank and we would not know as Tesla did not tell us who will service the loan. We get tens of promotional emails from XXXX XXXX every month and it goes in spam. My wife also did not receive any email from Tesla motors on 3rd party loan service or from XXXX XXXX that our loan was going delinquent. 

I called XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX and they told me that my loan contract is cancelled in XX/XX/XXXX when we were 90 day late and I have to pay the full loan amount of {$45000.00} + pay off amounts. Then I checked my email around XXXX XXXX to check whether XXXX XXXX sent me any delinquency notice before cancelling my loan. There was no email from XXXX XXXX during that period. They have not send me any email since then. 

Similarly Tesla has not communicated till date that XXXX XXXX will service our loan. 
How do we know that XXXX XXXX is legitimate. If I pay them {$45000.00}, and tomorrow some other bank comes and say that I owe them money then what will I do. 

This is gross communication negligence that has impacted my credit score and will impact me financially. Paying the loan was not an issue, but we need clear communication from Tesla as to who will service the loan so that we can keep an eye for it.

Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I deposited a cashiers check for {$21000.00} on XX/XX/2022 into my XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX checking account that I have had for over 25 years. On XX/XX/XXXX Wells Fargo attempted to take that money out of my checking account without my authorization or notification because they said that cashiers check was somehow invalid causing my account to go negative- even though I obtained a bank statement showing the {$21000.00} in question was taken out of a Wells Fargo checking account. XXXX froze my checking account while they did an investigation for the whole month of XX/XX/2022 and said it may take an additional 60 days which I was fine with. However, they then froze my savings account which had nothing to do with the cashiers check or checking account transaction/investigation. I went into the branch and told them I understood I couldnt use my checking account since its frozen and would like to take money out of my savings which had approximately {$20000.00}. They refused and only gave me {$100.00}. From another account I had w a balance of about $ XXXX. How can a 3rd party bank like Wells Fargo go into my checking account with no authorization and attempt to take {$21000.00} leaving me overdrawn without any notification. And how can XXXX XXXX XXXX freeze all of my money and all of my accounts during XXXX when I only gave them authorization to freeze one of my accounts for investigation. This seems like abuse of power. It seems the banks are drawing this investigation out to keep my money. I myself, reached out to the person who gave me the cashiers check and collected his bank statement that shows the {$21000.00} taken out of his bank account and purchased a cashiers check that was deposited into my account. Why cant the banks follow the money trail and end the investigation. There is nothing fraudulent about this cashiers check, but the banks have not provided a reason for why they can not complete or even what theyre doing during this investigation. Other than holding my money from all of my accounts.

Company: LAKEVIEW LOAN SERVICING, LLC
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I started a forbearance with LOAN CARE XX/XX/XXXX for 180 days for a COVID hardship. I also applied for the Texas homeowner assistance program on XX/XX/XXXX. They approve my application and brought my mortgage current XX/XX/XXXX. They then stated they would pay XXXX months of my mortgage for XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, and XX/XX/XXXX. I called XXXX ( can't recall date but XXXX can pull the call ) to see if I was still in forbearance and if not, if I could re open my forbearance XXXX of XXXX as I was still having a COVID hardship. I was told by the rep to find out exactly when my mortgage assistance would end and to call back because I was no longer in a forbearance. I was told I could not be in a forbearance and receive mortgage assistance. I then called the mortgage assistance and they told me my last payment assistance would be XX/XX/XXXX. I then call XXXX XXXX ( XXXX XXXX  ) and told the rep what the first rep from XXXX told me. She told me I was not in a forbearance again and would need to reapply. I specifically told this rep I wanted the forbearance to start XXXX of XXXX! She stated she would submit the application and I would hear something before XXXX. XXXX past and I didn't hear anything so I called LOAN CARE a third time. I spoke to a rep who state my forbearance was not closed initially ( this is not what the first XXXX reps told me ) snd stated my forbearance was only extended until XXXX of XXXX. I told her this didn't make any sense and every time I call I am told totally different things. I asked her to let me talk to a manager but she passed me on to another rep ( third call/fourth rep ). This rep stated I was never taken out of the forbearance. I stated okay if that's the case why am I only being allowed a XXXX month extension when I should be allowed another 180 days under a XXXX XXXX forbearance extension. She was not able to provide this information and seemed confused. She stated she would review/escalate the info and I would hear back. Its now a week later and I have not heard anything. I would like to know what's going on and if my forbearance was ever ended? I would like to extend my forbearance for the MAX time I can or at least the one 180 days extension I am allowed to take because I am still having a COVID hardship. This has been a mess.
