Product: Vehicle loan or lease — Lease
Issue: Problems at the end of the loan or lease — Termination fees or other problem when ending the lease early
Company: BMW Financial Services NA, LLC
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I am bringing a matter to your attention in the hope that you will be able to assist me and rectify an injustice by BMW FinanciaXXXX in settling a vehicle lease I recently terminated. 

I recently lost my vehicle in Hurricane Ian. I leased the car from BMW Financial Services and it had roughly a {$28000.00} balance, according to BMWs website on XX/XX/XXXX. My insurance company, XXXX XXXX, paid the market value of the vehicle on XX/XX/XXXX, amounting to {$40000.00}. The difference between the insurance proceeds and the lease balance was roughly {$12000.00}. BMR Financial Services plans to keep the difference. They believe they are justified, since they own the vehicle. This is a hardship for me ( I am retired ), since I had planned to use the equity to purchase another vehicle. I object to their policy and believe it is unfair for several reasons : XXXX. Lack of disclosure. Had I known, I would have paid off the lease balance in early XXXX, which would have entitled me to the proceeds. This was not disclosed on their website nor was it in the lease contract. 
XXXX. Usurious. The roughly {$12000.00} profit BMW plans to retain represents approximately a 43 % gain on the lease balance. While a lease is not a loan, and subject to Federal usury laws, nonetheless, it is a financial contract. I believe a 43 % return is inappropriate, and takes advantage of retail customers who individually have little means to battle a large, foreign manufacturer. 
XXXX. Takes advantage of Hurricane Victims. This policy takes full advantage of Hurricane Ian victims. When I complained to the BMW agent, they mentioned that this policy had specifically been discussed at BMW, and that other customers had also complained to them about this same policy. I take this to mean that they are victimizing numerous customers in the XXXX XXXX area. 
XXXX. Inadequate alternatives. BMW offered to apply the difference if I leased another BMW from them. However, BMW had no XXXX XXXX vehicles available on the XXXX XXXX and would not be able to source another car until XXXX at the earliest. I need a vehicle sooner than that, so this offer is hollow. 

I can be reached at XXXX XXXX XXXX. Many thanks.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account information incorrect
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: ID

Complaint narrative:
My son passed away unexpectedly last XXXX. Upon contacting XXXX regarding his outstanding student loans, I was told to submit an original copy of his death certificate in order to determine whether or not they were forgivable as shown on the XXXX web site. The death certificate was not finalized until XXXX. I immediately expressed an original copy to XXXX for which they did not acknowledge receipt. 

Beginning immediately after my son 's passing and extending until the issue was settled, I received calls at my workplace from XXXX employees with no details. They would state the account was past due and ask for payment. I would explain my son had passed away and we were waiting for the death certificate. The callers would always promise to " ... make a note in the file. '' but the next week another employee would call with the same script. I also received form letters and e-mails with no specifics. 

One telephone conversation resulted in copies of the loan documents being mailed to me. I did my own research and concluded the loans were privately funded and therefore not eligible for forgiveness. I paid the loans in full including added interest. 

Despite XXXX forcing me to recount my son 's passing weekly for several months, failing to acknowledge receipt of his death certificate, offering no help determining the loan status and being paid in full including added interest for the months they wasted, they chose to report me unfavorably to the credit bureaus. A request to XXXX to rectify the situation was met with the XXXX response that their records do indeed show me paying late. 

XXXX may be on the cutting edge of automated loan administration, but their system is painfully XXXX

Company: Unifin Inc.

Complaint narrative:
I was being bombarded by calls about a {$2000.00} XXXX ( varied ) debt to XXXX. Not having ever conducted a transaction with XXXX that would result in a debt, I largely ignored these calls for about 6 months. Finally, being fed up with call-blocking not being effective, I contacted XXXX directly XXXX probably sometime in 2020, I'm not sure ) by phone to ask if I had ever had a debt with them. They confirmed I did not, and then I closed my account as a precaution. 

Now I'm receiving statements from a debt collection agency called Unifin. Looking them up online, they appear to be legitimate- but many things can appear to be. I'm becoming more concerned about how this may affect me and I want it stopped before it causes me any damage.
