Company: CREDIT ACCEPTANCE CORPORATION
State: WA

Complaint narrative:
CREDIT ACCEPTANCE CORPORATION has been committing usury on my loan and in fact they also violated my SMCRA. So, I have a 22.99 % interest rate with them have since I signed in XXXX. I am a veteran first and foremost, and at the time was protected by the Service member 's civil relief act. They didn't acknowledge that and they took advantage of me, my interest rates was supposed to be capped at 6 % while I served on XXXX XXXX and they did not do that. Instead I didn't even know what my interest rate was until XXXX as I wasn't knowledgeable on anything I just needed and wanted a car being that I needed to get around as a XXXX. the 2nd red flag is they are committing usury, and are very aware of it, I spoke with them about it and it wasn't a good conversation. I bought the car in Louisiana, and the interest cap is and was at the time 12 % APR, yet I still have a 22.99 % APR. I spoke with a manager at the companyon XX/XX/XXXX who was very rude and kind of upset that I brought up the legalities of the situation. To sum up our conversation he literally told me to take them to court. He and other representatives I spoke to seemed to not care at all about the corp. wrong doings.They offered no resolution for the situation not even trying to fix it now, the manager was only worried about a payment. So for me, a United States Veteran who answered the call, served so they can even have the right to be a corp. was taken advantage of by this company. They didn't follow state guidelines and laws or even the Federal Act that was put in place to protect service members they took advantage of my ignorance with financing a car. It's not fair and not right. I really hope the government intervenes and stops them, because if they aren't stopped so many more citizens will fall victim to their cruel tactics. Thank you for allowing me to share.

Company: MOHELA
State: CO

Complaint narrative:
I transferred my loans to motels in early XXXX and had to call multiple times to eventually learn that my application had essentially been stuck and that they would need to put it back in the cue. 

Early XXXX I received notice that my labs are transferring but the online account showed XXXX balance until mid XXXX. On XX/XX/19 I was able to see a balance and an expected payment of ~ XXXX XXXXXXXX. This is greater than XXXX the amount that studentaid.gov calculated for IDR and almost twice the standard repayment rate. 

At the same time I have been trying to silly for a mortgage but can not currently get through underwriting unless I have formal documentation of my actual payment. 

I submitted a new IDR request and have been calling nearly every day and have been getting told 5-7 business days or 1-3 more days.

I called today to again request sons assistance in expediting the process. Later XXXX  the application has changed to approved online but without any change in the listed payment. I called back and they said it could take up to 90 days for the system to reflect this. 

I requested a letter explaining that I had been approved for the plan and the expected payment and was informed that it would be at least 5-7 days to process the request for a letter and that it would have to go through traditional mail. 

They were unwilling to try and find an email solution and told me if Id like to speak to a supervisor that there would be a 2hr wait.

According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act 15 USC 1681 section 602 a states " There is a need to insure that consumer reporting agencies exercise their grave responsibilities with fairness, impartiality, and a respect for the consumers right to privacy. '' XXXX and XXXX are consumer reporting agencies and I am the Consumer.

'' The financial institution and the Consumer reporting agencies XXXX and XXXX do not have my consent to furnish this information and they surely do not have my written consent. Any and all consent to XXXX, XXXX, ( Furnisher of information to credit agencies ) whether it be verbal, non-verbal, written, implied or otherwise is revoked. 15 USC 6802 ( b ) ( c ) states that " A financial institution may not disclose nonpublic personal information to a nonaffiliated third party unless the consumer is given an explanation of how the consumer can exercise that nondisclosure option. '' XXXX, XXXX & XXXX Never informed me of my right to exercise my nondisclosure option.
