Company: Westlake Services, LLC
State: MS

Complaint narrative:
I was told at time of purchase that bc interest rates were so high I could refinance after six months. Ive tried to refinance w multiple companies despite having a good credit score due to age of vehicle and high interest Im paying nobody will refinance my vehicle. I tried to make two payments a month w the second payment going solely to principal and although I have an email from Westlake financial stating after the monthly payment due every month is paid anything paid after that would in fact go to principal, I called today to make principal payment of {$500.00} and they said it would be split up amongst interest and principal. They have made me trapped in this loan w no way out other than paying double for my vehicle. Im trying to pay it off early, I cant trade it in or get out from under the high interest. They have screwed me financially even though Im trying to do my best. Westlake Financial is the company.

Company: SANTANDER HOLDINGS USA, INC.
State: NJ

Complaint narrative:
Good day, Since filling the claim with the your agency brcause I have not gotten any assistance with the XXXX  all I keep getting are response from the bank still trying to hold me accountable eventhough I have sent them documents that clearly shows that the signature on the documents for the vehicle does not match my signature. 

I am guessing that they are trying to force my hand in having to do a police report but I told them I can not do that because my daughter is a single mother and I can not afford to be the one that send her to XXXX  leaving her child. 

I have suggested that the bank take their vehicle because I asked her to return it and she refuse doing so and I am unable to do anything about it since she doesn't live with me and I have no access to the vehicle. 

I suspect that they are refusing to take the vehicle because of the large interest rate they stand to gain from the payment but as I have told them, she will be late on her payments because she's very irresponsible. 

I am unsure how santander gave her a loan because I had helped her take out a vehicle back in XXXX  with them and her payment was always late so she turned the vehicle in behind my back stating that she was unable to make the payments yet santander gave her another loan with the same monthly payment and that just doesn't make sense to me. 

I am begging you to please try to help me, even if you try reaching out to them and talking to them. 

I do not want to be held accountable for a loan I had nothing to do with and has stated this from the moment I saw the loan on my credit report. Your office seems to be my last resort so I am begging you for your assistance. 

I will attach a copy of the loan document with the fradulent signature as well as copy of my ID showing my signature if i am able to do so and you will clearly see that the signature on the document is fradulent.

Issue: Problem with a purchase shown on your statement — Credit card company isn't resolving a dispute about a purchase on your statement
Company: CITIBANK, N.A.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
My Citi Bank card was charged on two separate times at a XXXX XXXX XXXX that was not done by me. The amounts were for {$210.00}, and for {$55.00}. Both charges were done on the same date of XX/XX/2024. I didn't notice these charges until I viewed my statement some days later. Once I saw them, I immediately filed a dispute via my Citi Bank app. After several more weeks of not hearing any response, I called in and spoke with customer service. I was told that the request was denied due to " lack of information. '' I then re-submitted a dispute with customer service on the phone, providing all information they requested. That I did not loose my credit card, that I never lost posession, loaned, or allowed anyone else to use it, etc. They submitted the dispute, and again weeks went by with no answer. I called them again, and was told that my dispute was again denied. The lady explained to me that they were denieing my claim because my credit card is a " chip '' card, " and is unable to be scanned, replicated, or hacked. '' That is absolutely absurd, and false. Around the same time frame of XX/XX/XXXX, my debit card and another CC were also frauded, and the other company had no issue refunding and correcting the issue. In fact, the bank explained to me they were dealing with lots of " hot '' charges at the time and were aware of RF scanning in our local area, and assured me that even the newest chip cards were unfortunately not completely safe from being scanned at gas pumps, rf scanning devices etc. 
I called Citi Bank again to try to re-open the claim and provide more info, and was told I could not do that. The lady gave me the advice of " the only thing you can do is HAND WRITE a letter to the President of the bank, and ask him for your money back. '' Laughable at best. Not only was the customer service at Citi Bank a joke, but the fraudulent charges have just been collecting interest charges. I don't know what else to do. I've been a resident in this town for 30 years, and have been XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. I did not make the charges, and am requesting something be done to correct these issues.
