Product: Payday loan, title loan, personal loan, or advance loan — Title loan
Issue: Problem with the payoff process at the end of the loan — 
Company: CCF Intermediate Holdings LLC
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
To Whom It May Concern, I am filing this complaint against TitleMax regarding deceptive loan practices, improper withholding of funds, and retaliatory actions against me as a borrower. 

Background of XXXX XXXX XX/XX/year>, I entered into a loan agreement with TitleMax. 

The signed contract states {$3000.00} as the disbursed amount and contains the terms and conditions. 

TitleMax represented that the loan amount was {$5100.00}, but the remaining {$2000.00} was never disbursed, nor does it appear in the contract. 

TitleMax is attempting to enforce terms and conditions on the {$2000.00} available balance, which is not covered by any signed agreement.

{$500.00} Withholding TitleMax also withheld {$500.00} for a title transfer. 

I paid the title transfer directly out of pocket, and a check was supposed to be voided and reissued to me. 

Despite repeated requests, the {$500.00} has not been reimbursed. 


Payment Obstruction My due date was XX/XX/year>. 

On advice from my assigned case worker with the Texas Office of Consumer Credit Commissioner ( OCCC ), I attempted to make my payment both online and in person.

TitleMax disabled the online payment option from my account. 

When I went to the branch, they refused to accept my payment, stating they could not do business with me because I had spoken with an attorney. 


Threats & Retaliation Despite obstructing my attempts to pay, TitleMax continues to threaten repossession of my vehicle.

The district manager personally threatened repossession, even though I have not been given full access to the loan funds and my payment was denied.

Violations I believe TitleMaxs actions constitute : 1. Unfair, deceptive, and abusive practices ( UDAAP ) under the Consumer Financial Protection Act.

2. Improper loan disclosures under the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ).

3. Failure to provide clear terms and attempting to enforce non-contractual obligations.

4. Retaliatory conduct by refusing payment because I sought legal advice.

Relief Requested I respectfully request that the CFPB : Investigate TitleMaxs loan practices and handling of my account.

Complaint narrative:
We originally agreed to use XXXX XXXX moving service to relocate a pool table from our home. They never showed up and we were forced to use XXXXXXXX XXXX to complete the relocation. XXXX XXXX  submit the charge despite never providing the service. The XXXX XXXX completed the job for us. We disputed the charge with Goldman Sachs as the chare appeared on our credit. They requested documentation that the service was completed by someone else. We submit the paid invoice from XXXXXXXX XXXX to verify. They temporarily removed the charge, but later informed us that they were allowing the service provider to charge the card. We paid off the balance that we actually owed and let them know we would never pay for the service that was never received. We have excellent credit and feel incredibly violated that even after presented with the documentation, the creditor refuses to deny the charge as fraudulent. We simply can not fight with the big bank any more over a XXXX charge. We will no longer use that account but we live in fear that they will erroneously impact our credit and credit score and we will be forced to defend the vendors fraud on an ongoing basis with no resolution.

Complaint narrative:
The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( 1 ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system.

So whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not. In the event that any accounts are reported without my written consent, that is considered identity theft.

This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This leads way to civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n, which allows for {$1000.00} per violation, for account listed without my expressed written consent.

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX, I was approved for a loan XXXX and added my debit card for immediate funding. The loan agreement provided to me listed a first payment due date of XX/XX/XXXX, for {$61.00}. As of today, XX/XX/XXXX I have not received the loan funds in my bank account. I logged in to my account and already have a payment day and loan is showing financed and approved. 

I contacted Patria Lending 's customer service today and was told that the finance team is reviewing my application and that it is being done in the order of applications received. 

This practice of setting a payment due date for a loan that has not been funded is deceptive and unfair. I am concerned that this is a predatory lending practice designed to create a false debt. I also have serious concerns about the high interest rate associated with this loan product.
