Company: Porsche Financial Services, Inc.
State: IL

Complaint narrative:
There were issues with setting up the payments online. We sent a check. Porsche claims it never received the check. We squared away the online payment application. The check was never cashed so we called and made payment. Unfortunately it was 35 days after it was due. There was nothing nefarious or intentional here. The one single missed payment was reported and My credit score dropped XXXX XXXX XXXX POINTS!!!! Given this is my first blemish in over 7 years THAT IS EGREGIOUS and a gross overreaction, arbitrary and capricious. One missed payment of 30 days should not lead to a XXXX point drop. Period. I consider this predatory and am complaining about this result with a prayer of relief of a repair of my credit score to a level proportionate to the infraction. The account was paid in full, there was never a phone call, emails went to spam folderetc but even if I am 100 % at fault here ( Im not ) this punishment does not fit the infraction.
