Product: Debt collection — Credit card debt
Issue: Written notification about debt — Didn't receive notice of right to dispute
Company: ENCORE CAPITAL GROUP INC.
State: AZ

Complaint narrative:
I called Midland Credit Management Inc in XXXX XXXX, phone number XXXX. A representative picked up the phone and asked for the social connected to the account, my fianc provided it and then they went into their disclosure. Once completed they only said the amount of the debt owed, no verification was ever given and so he suggested that it was inaccurate, and the lady said that was not the case and said that they would settle for half the amount, but it was a one time deal only valid on that phone call. He said that the amount was not correct, which the original amount was closer to {$100.00} and they wanted to charge {$480.00}. He asked to speak with a manager and they said that they would check to see if she was available, and came back saying she was on break and was the only manager in the office at the time, and that she couldn't call back as it was only an inbound center. Once we did a bit more digging, we called back and spoke to the manager, XXXX I believe her name was, she was rather hostile in asking what we wanted to do, whether that be accept their settlement or pay the full amount. He asked if it was verified debt and/or reviewed by an attorney for accuracy to which she said it was not. She claimed that they had sent notice of the debt months ago and continued sending letters to an address never associated with her, that being XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX, which leads us to believe that the amount they are associating with her being the {$480.00} is someone else 's debt they are attempting to settle with someone else. They also said that they had not charged any late fees or interest to her account, which I found odd. The fact that she was not aware of this original transfer of debt to the collections agency due to this error, they invalidated her ability to dispute the amount within the allotted time frame of 30 days. They were very unprofessional in their behavior and attitude towards us, and did not seem to care that they messed up and said if we feel it wasn't valid that we could get an attorney involved and that we wouldn't be able to settle the debt for anything less than the full amount.

Company: ALLY FINANCIAL INC.
State: TN

Complaint narrative:
XX/XX/2023 XXXX XXXX XXXX of XXXX, XXXX  Not only ran too many Credit inquiries sometimes to the same Finance company, But they sold me a Service Contract that I made extremely clear I did not want to purchase. When I put my foot down the Finance XXXX XXXX, insisted Ally Financial required a Service Contract. 

After my Hospice visit to XXXX, I returned to XXXX  and called Ally Financial who informed me that I should not have been forced to purchase a service agreement, nor was it a prerequisite for them to accept the Loan. 

XXXX  DOJ Consumer Relations contacted this Dealer and negotiated an adjustment. 

The Dealer did not re-write the Loan Contract, but instead sent a Check to them for {$1800.00} ; negating the Taxes on this amount. 

I sent an email to the Manager and he refused to rewrite the Loan, by saying " not gon na happen ''. 

XXXX also failed to asked whether I would prefer to pay cash for the Registration Fees, instead they included this inflated amount into the Financing.

Now I am paying an inflated Interest Rate Due to multiple inquiries ; undue finance charges due to unnecessary charges. 

And, the Dealer had me driving with an expired Temporary Tag because they did not register the Vehicle in a timely fashion. I had to get XXXX Dept. of Motor Vehicles to get this Dealer to provide me the Tracking # so the XXXX  DMV to trace my documents. 

A complete stressful, nerve-racking nightmare.

Company: Nelnet, Inc.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
Since my loans were transferred to NELNET the service and communication has been poor, inaccurate and unprofessional. Their website is not user friendly for payments. They will not reply to emails. Customer service on the phone takes 2-3 hours to get anyone on the phone. Their website is constantly down, errors, payment processing takes way too long. I would like to have my loans service by someone else, would that be possible? NELNET is an absolute nightmare to work with and deal with. One rep didnt even know about the president on ramp program. They have not continuity of what they say, or document each interaction. This is frustrating and unacceptable for a company handling large amounts of money. Please do something and provide feedback for improvement or alternative. Their social media channel are useless, because they have a generic answer and never call back. Im tired of this level of service.
