Consumer complaint received 2017-06-25 00:00:00
Product: Vehicle loan or lease — Lease
Issue: Problems at the end of the loan or lease — Problem with paying off the loan
Company: VW Credit
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
Leased vehicle on XX/XX/XXXX. Made 19 monthly payments ( inclusive of the initial payment due at lease signing ), through XX/XX/XXXX. <P/>On XX/XX/XXXX vehicle was struck and rendered a total loss. <P/>On XX/XX/XXXX was contacted by the insurance company of the party at fault and was offered {$14000.00} which they said would satisfy the lien holder, VW Credit. I rejected their offer explaining that the vehicle was worth several thousand dollars more. Money which I had put down in order to lower the balance and resulting monthly payments. <P/>On XX/XX/XXXX I contacted VW Credit to advise of the situation at which point they advised me that they had ( on that date ) just issued a loan payoff letter guaranteeing title to the insurance company in return for the {$14000.00} offered ( and earlier rejected by me ). I asked how I would recoup my investment at which point they very abruptly answered " we 're satisfied, you 'll need to take up your concerns with the insurance company. '' On XX/XX/XXXX I contacted the insurance company and again disputed the amount of the settlement. I was advised to provide comparables supporting my claim of the vehicle 's value. I gathered and provided the comparable vehicles, as instructed, on that same date. <P/>On XX/XX/XXXX the insurance company finally conceded that their initial offer was erroneous and modified their offer to {$17000.00} plus taxes ( {$1200.00} ) and fees ( {$18.00} ), totaling {$18000.00}. <P/>I accepted on the premise that the amount offered {$18000.00} less the payoff of {$14000.00} would return to me {$4200.00} which was approximately the amount I paid into the lease at the start. <P/>I was then advised by the insurance company that the payoff amount had increased to {$15000.00} reducing the balance payable to me to {$2700.00}, a difference of {$1500.00}. I asked them to explain the increase in the payoff amount, which they could not. We contacted VW Credit together and was told plainly that if the insurance company had agreed to pay more then they wanted to collect more and therefore refused to honor their original payoff ( again, which was offered in writing ) of {$14000.00}. <P/>The insurance company ( indifferent to who they pay ) has since satisfied VW Credit in the amount of {$15000.00} and issued to me a check in the amount of {$2700.00}, effectively removing themselves from the dispute. <P/>VW Credit openly acknowledges that their demand of {$15000.00} represents the full balance of the loan ( {$13000.00} residual, plus 17 remaining payments of {$140.00} ) with no discount for unearned interest.

I was refused a Mortgage to buy a home XXXX XXXX 2017 by Van Dyk Mortgage-XXXX. They used XXXX XXXX and XXXX to base their refusal. My credit scores are not high enough according to their guidelines.

Company: TD BANK US HOLDING COMPANY
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
Note : This is the third complaint I have submitted for the same issue. I believe that I have been very clear as to the nature of my request and they still refuse to honor it according to California law ( CPC 530.8 ) even though they have given me multiple verbal assurances that they would and I have been diligent about complying with their instructions. In the event they still refuse to comply with this request, I will continue to file these complaints until they do, or I decide that legal action is the only remedy. They need to take this matter seriously. <P/>A Target store card account was fraudulently opened in my name by person ( s ) unknown on XX/XX/XXXX. This person subsequently purchased over {$6000.00} worth of merchandise using this fraudulently obtained line of credit. <P/>The identity thief was careful to cover their tracks and I did not discover that this had occurred until sometime in XX/XX/XXXX. At this time I contacted Target Card Services ( TCS ) and made a request for identity theft information that I am entitled to under California law ( CPC 530.8 ). <P/>The first response I got from a TCS representative was that they " did not have to comply with California law because they are based in Minnesota ''. Through persistence, I eventually persuaded them that they do indeed have to comply with California law because they do business in California. <P/>They then told me to submit a notarized written request for this information ( at my own expense ), which they received on XX/XX/XXXX at XXXX. <P/>The California statute says that they have 10 days after the receipt of this request to comply with the information request, which they in practice completely ignored. <P/>The main document I am interested in is the actual personal information that the identity thief used to fraudulently open the account. This would allow me to know exactly which of my personal data were compromised as well as helping law enforcement to help identify a suspect. <P/>The first attempt to comply with this request resulted in them sending me the personal and confidential information of an entirely unrelated person in XXXX who just happened to open an account on the same day as the identity thief. I was frankly shocked at this reckless disclosure of some innocent third party 's confidential information, but I am not surprised given my experience with this organization. <P/>I informed them of their inappropriate data breach and they responded by making another attempt to comply. They sent me a copy of MY OWN personal information and NOT the application data provided by the data thief as I had requested. On a subsequent phone call they stated that they consider this to be acceptable ( I disagree ) and would not comply further with my information request. <P/>This is what prompted my third complaint to CFPB.

Company: Atlantic Credit & Finance, Inc.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
There 's an old, unsecured line of credit I took out with XXXX XXXX XXXX / XXXX back in 2005. The original amount was {$7500.00} and I made payments periodically - but not always on time due to difficult financial circumstances. In total, I probably made {$2000.00} in payments over time. But, I 've been un / underemployed for most of the last 13 years and have struggled to simply make ends meet - much less make progress towards old debts. I have never filed for bankruptcy, nor do I intend to. <P/>That debt was written off by XXXX / XXXX and the right to collect the debt was purchased for pennies on the dollar by Atlantic Credit & Finance. Atlantic Credit & Finance is somehow partnered up with a law firm called XXXX XXXX out of XXXX, FL. <P/>They sought a legal judgment against me without properly without giving me proper notice and secured said judgment and had a lien imposed on my personal checking account. Now, any money that goes into that account will be garnished. I never had a hearing or opportunity to tell my side of the story to a judge or magistrate - although I am in the process of filing for such a hearing. <P/>The judgment and the lien are for over {$9000.00} - although I know they bought the debt for only a fraction of the original {$7500.00} debt. This is wrong!! The interest / charges are criminal given the fact they bought the debt for pennies on the dollar.

Company: JPMORGAN CHASE & CO.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I had a customer that had me perform service work on his personal ski boat but after completion he could not pay his bill so I held onto his boat until he could come up with the needed funds. He wanted to sell his boat because he needed the money for personal reasons, he said he had it sold and wanted me to release it to him saying that he would pay me after the sale, I know this guy could not be trusted. On the XX/XX/XXXX he brought me a cashiers check in the amount owed ( {$3200.00} ) I then  released the boat to him, he sold it that day Friday XX/XX/XXXX. I cashed the cashiers check on Tuesday XX/XX/XXXX at my personal bank, the bank put a hold on my account until the check was to clear, two days later I find out the the check had a stop payment put on it that past Monday morning. At that time the total funds were removed from my personal checking account. I have read that it is impossible to stop payment on a cashiers check but according to Chase Bank it is a common thing and a cashiers check is no better than a personal check. My trust in the cashiers check funds is the only reason I released the boat, now I 'm out the money and my only recourse is to take him to court but even with a judgement in my favor I will be lucky to collect the funds plus the lost time and money to do so. I think Chase Bank should be held responsible for my loss.
