Consumer complaint received 2019-10-07 00:00:00
Product: Vehicle loan or lease — Loan
Issue: Struggling to pay your loan — Denied request to lower payments
Company: Westlake Services, LLC
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
In XXXX, Westlake Financial financed my XXXX XXXX for 48 months. I was not aware Westlake Financial built its wealth by feeding on middle class consumers with less than perfect credit. It was not enough my interest rate was 17.39 %, when I became ill and started having financial difficulties, representatives were not customer friendly. Many of them would threaten to repo the vehicle unless an extension was agreed upon. When the vehicle was within a year of being paid off, Westlake efforts to repo the vehicle increased. Once we called to get a payoff on the XXXX to cut cost with a cheaper vehicle, however the representative refused stating a payment need to be made. When he did not receive the payment, had our vehicle picked up claiming we requested it because we were purchasing another vehicle, which caused us to have to pay over {$2500.00} to reclaim the vehicle. Shortly after, Westlake repossessed the vehicle again, after I had made a {$400.00} payment, which costed us over {$2500.00} in fees to reclaim the vehicle. Complaints were filed on both incidents, however after reading the article in the XXXX XXXX XXXX, I discovered Westlake promotes unethical tactics by representatives. I contacted Westlake on XX/XX/XXXX, concerning the balance of the balloon payment due to the payment extensions. I was told if entire balance was not paid by XX/XX/XXXX, the vehicle could be picked up. I did not understand the {$7100.00} balance and I knew there was no way I could pay the entire balance by XX/XX/XXXX. I had to file Chapter XXXX.

Company: Bread Financial Holdings, Inc.
State: VA

Complaint narrative:
I had a 12 months no interest equal pay program that I was using to purchase a piece of jewelry from my wife at XXXX XXXX. The plan is no interest if you pay all 12 equal payments. I made 11 payments consecutively on the XXXX of every month for XXXX dollars per the arrangment. The last payment of XXXX was also made on the XXXX of the 12 month of the plan. This last payment was made on XX/XX/2019,  the due date using their auto pay system. 

Comenity Bank, XXXX XXXX card issuer, charged me accrued interest on XX/XX/2019 of {$380.00} stating that my account cycled on XX/XX/XXXX and therefore the promo expired before my payment was due. 

I am complaining because not only is this an unfair practice to customers but also because I made all of my payments on time per the schedule and the amounts that they provided me. 

I would like for Commenity to credit my account for {$390.00} and to reimburse me for the minimum payments that were taking from my checking account on XX/XX/19 ( {$30.00} ), XX/XX/2019 ( {$30.00} ), XX/XX/19 ( {$30.00} ) and XX/XX/19 ( {$35.00} ).

Complaint narrative:
Social Security benefit for my mother who has XXXX 's was sent to a prepaid company called Direct Express. They don't have any people to talk to and automated service does not recognize her social security number. I'm allowed to call on her behalf as her Registered payee. I can not get any answers from this company or social security regarding where her benefits payment is. I am a young person who works in finance and can not make sense of this. It seems likely this method of transaction is defrauding many elderly people and this company is likely committing large scale elder abuse.
