Company: U.S. Auto Credit Corporation
State: NC

Complaint narrative:
I purchased a car and it was financed through US Auto Credit. They wanted payments every two weeks but not on my pay dates. Payments have been made every two weeks then in XX/XX/XXXX I received a call from them saying I missed a payment in XX/XX/XXXX. No mail or email saying that. So I was late more than 6 times paying them which has affected my credit score. I have been searching for that so called missed payment. Then on XX/XX/XXXX they were to take my payment from my checking account. On XX/XX/XXXX they called me saying my bank account was closed and they could no longer take checks from me. I immediately went to my bank and my account was not closed. They are charging me a late fee again and a non-sufficient fund fee when my bank has not. My account was never closed and when I asked what account number they have, the rep, " XXXX '', told me we only have what you gave us. I asked to speak with a supervisor but no one has called me yet. The supervisor s name is XXXX. I was told by XXXX they do n't waive fees, although I did not incur any. She wanted me to make a payment with a debit from the bank she claims my account is closed which makes no sense. Maybe it 's because they charge {$4.00} fee to pay with a credit/debit card, and there is no fee to pay by check. This company has the worse finance company. It does n't help you but hurts your credit and relationships with family. They call my family and friends constantly as well as me. Enough is enough.

Complaint narrative:
Regions has processed a transaction instead of rejecting it as I had refused the overdraft protection on my business checking account. I was then charged an exorbitant {$36.00} overdraft fee. Upon talking to the XXXX XXXX, LA branch manager on XXXX XXXX, 2016, I was told that after a certain period of time, accounts are automatically enrolled in the overdraft protection, even if the account holder initially refused the service. Regions and the branch manager refused to remove the {$36.00} overdraft fee.,

Complaint narrative:
This debt was disputed several times and no response was provided from the collector. I sent certified letters previously and the item was removed from my credit file. Then when the debt was sold to a junk debt purchaser, it was added back to my file. I then disputed it again with the collection agency and they have yet to respond and it has been well over the 30 day limit allowed by law.

Complaint narrative:
I received a phone call a few months ago, stating that I was going to be served paperwork at my place of employment for a debt that was 8 years old. They insisted that if I did n't pay that day they would garnish my wages via service from a uniformed officer. I asked for written confirmation of the debt believing that the debt was out of the statute of limitations and they would not provide that to me, they emailed me a letter that looks like it was written in word, they have a fake one page website and their phone numbers are n't traceable online. They have withdrawn almost XXXX from my bank account. I became suspicious when the debt was not listed on my credit bureaus. Also I am not able to find any documentation at our home of official correspondence that we had been properly notified. They claimed I had a judgement pending and that there was garnishment language.

Company: AFNI INC.

Complaint narrative:
I contacted XXXX XXXX XXXX regarding a collection amount that showed up on my credit report showing I owe {$130.00} I spoke to XXXX in customer service on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX @ XXXX and she could not help me she transferred me over to XXXX XXXX XXXX collection department. I spoke to XXXX on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX @ XXXX and made me aware it was for service from XXXX XXXX. My issue with this is that the name on the account was originally on my sister 's name then it was transferred to me. I decided I no longer needed a landline so I cancelled the account but never received any bill regarding these charges until now. I am trying to purchase a home and it is affecting my credit score because this account was sent to a collection agency called AFNI , Inc . They could not prove to me that any letters were sent by XXXX XXXX XXXX and never received any letter from the collection agency AFNI, Inc. as well. If I do owe this amount of {$130.00} I do not have a problem paying it, but in all fairness this should be removed from all XXXX credit bureau companies. So I can move forward in purchasing a home for my family.

Company: REGIONS FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: AL

Complaint narrative:
I found this article about Regions charging improperly on over drafts by shear chance, and luck. For years now Regions, since they " gobbled up '' smaller banks like my own " XXXX '', and I became a Regions customer, it has been quite obvious a " new '' set of rules for how the customers are treated was put into place. It is no wonder they have grown so large with the continual praying on middle class, and lower income folks like myself with outrageous, and unjustifiable fees. The worst thing I know of all is regularly manipulating the on line banking entries of debits, and credits. Debits will be held, purposely not showing them, not even showing them in the pending status for days, as they watch your balance dropping down, the bank knowing, and hoping you overdraft just before a payday. Then, at the over draft point, they will re-arrange the order of the entries to appear that you not only over drafted a few dollars on the '' real '' last charge '' debit ' you made. The new entry arrangement on this newest date of over draft now will show ( in the banks favor of course ) that you over drafted with one of the larger debit entries several days earlier. And now the day before your pay day auto deposit, they hit you with many tiny debit entries ( a few dollars each ) each with o.d. fee each of {$36.00} totaling {$100.00}, {$200.00}, or more. Now the facts after many years watching this closely are this : You have to watch the bank record on- line closely every single day to catch this. They make mistakes - dailey in the nightly work they do balncing your account. The adding subtracting errors they make can throw you own calculations you are trying to keep up with off, and in error. They continually fix errors they show on previous days balancing on next day or so - further throwing you off in error. Fact is, they have been scamming millions of dollars off people like me, and other people that do n't watch it as close as I do. I hope you bust them for all the rong doing. - to me, and manner others.

Complaint narrative:
I added my name with my son when he opened a XXXX account when he began living on his own in XX/XX/XXXX. 

He moved to a different location in XX/XX/XXXX and my name was removed from the account, per a XXXX XXXX representative, because he had now established a payment history with XXXX. 

My son got married and moved XX/XX/XXXX, however he states that his bill was current and turned in all equipment when he switched to a different carrier XX/XX/XXXX. 

In XXXX XX/XX/XXXX I get a letter stating my name was on this account. As i stated prior, this is not true, my name was removed from the account per XXXX when he moved his service to a different address in XX/XX/XXXX. 

In 7 years while my son continued service with XXXX, I never received a bill, a phone call for late payment or anything in this matter but when he cancels service, now i get a letter from a collection agency. Now this negative reporting in on my account that i have nothing to do with. 

I have called to talk with XXXX XXXX or should I say their collection agency ( I never had any contact directly from XXXX only the collection agency ) And I have remained and the same address and phone number for 31 years. 
We are unable to come upon a resolution. They state there was boxes not turned in?? I find this very troubling and almost fraudulent. 
Any help with be greatly appreciated.

Complaint narrative:
I 'm pretty feed up with payment processors sending out mailings that resort to scaring people into reading their mailer and possibly tricking a consumer into calling them. 

The mailer i received today has " Mortgage Payment Information Enclosed '' most prominently displayed on the front of the letter in bold, red letters. It also has the return address of " Loan Payment Administration '' and through the window has " Regarding your : '' and my current mortgage called out by lender name. 

The body of the letter also states the direction to " Contact us by XXXX XXXX, 2015 '' and that " if you decline the biweekly program, you will be asked to confirm that you understand that you are voluntarily giving up the interest savings and loan term reduction. " We know what they 're doing and while it may be technically legal because they 've found the right loopholes, it 's still predatory. They must be tricking some people into calling, otherwise why would they do it. It should not be allowed. It 's just flat out dishonesty and that sort of dishonest should not be tolerated.

Complaint narrative:
Eos cca contacted me by phone saying that I had a {$270.00} debt from XXXX from 2012 and asked for my credit card number to pay off the debt. I have never had an XXXX account in my name, and had certainly never received any type of notification of debt. The only information I could find on this company was on XXXX and I read several stories similar to mine. I called XXXX and they had no record of me having an account or ever having a debt. I called Eos and told them this and they said that a customer service representative wouldnt know since they sold the account to the agency. I then called XXXX back and they said that even after they sell an account to a debt collector, they keep a record of who they sold it to and such, the account does n't just completely disappear. Eos said they would send me a fraud kit to fill out but it just does n't seem legitimate. They also said they already reported me to the credit bureau which seemed more like they wanted me to go ahead and give them my credit card number over the phone.

Complaint narrative:
I borrowed {$3500.00}, 24 month same as cash. Regency Finance set the payment due to {$140.00} per month, however at that amount I would need to pay more than the payment due, or pay for 25 months. They never informed me I would need to pay more monthly to satisfy the 24 month contract. They then assessed finance charges and interest because it was not paid in full within the 24 months with the monthly payment they set forth. This is deceptive and a fraudulent scam to trick the consumer to being XXXX payment shy of payment in full. Shame on you Regency.
