Struggling to pay your loan

Payday loan, title loan, or personal loan: Installment loan

Complaint: I had a loan with XXXX XXXX Investment XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX in XXXX however was unable to continue to fulfill making the payments and returned the vehicle which I was advised by the salesman during purchase that would be perfectly fine. I was then garnished for the first time in XXXX however never received any notification from VA XXXX XXXX XXXX as I reside in XXXX, VA. I never received any information about the debt or even that the vehicle was auctioned which is standard process. I did not know what happened as I never received any information or phone contact. This is illegal as I should have been given the opportunity to go to court when this was a warrant in debt. I believe this company purposely did not send me any information so I would not come to court and unable to argue the debt. I feel forced into this accepting the garnishment or debt because I was not given the right to a court date. I have advised the company I am unable to afford this debt as a single mother and I also feel they are personally attacking me as they continue to begin the garnishment process during my birthday month of XXXX and prior to the holidays. I paid {$350.00} per paycheck in this garnishment as I was garnished twice last year and the amount showed I owed $ XXXX in XXXX now it is {$14000.00} in XXXX after paying payments in the garnishment. The company is very corrupted and what they are doing to people is illegal. It should be illegal to charge anyone these amounts of interest. I believe I paid this car off as the car was worth {$3000.00} yet on the lot for {$10000.00} however I paid a year worth of payments at {$380.00} paid into a garnishment last year and they have begun another garnishment. I am at the point of losing everything because of this company and I do not understand how this is even legal. They broke fdcpa laws and many other regulations yet they are allowed to continue to do this to people.

Problems when you are unable to pay

Consumer Loan: Vehicle loan

Complaint: XXXX Investment company has contacted me a work on at least XXXX occasions when I have repeatedly explained to them that I refuse to discuss my private business while clocked in and on my work phone that has recorded calls. Now when they call, I jus hang up since they do n't seem to understand words. They have also called my phone in upwards of XXXX times in 1 day, usually back to back they have also made just as many calls to family members and friends that I listed as references when I filled out the application for the car. Earlier today, I received an email from them to confirm that I authorized them to take money out of my bank account. This was a lie. I never spoke to them to make this agreement. There customer service agents are extremely rude and do not listen. The way they run their " business '' is disgusting and I will not be harassed for the remainder of time that I 'm making payments on this vehicle.

Complaint: I have a XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX that I purchased from Auto Connection in XXXX NC. In XX/XX/XXXX. It is financed with Michael Wayne Investment. There are some unresolved repair issues that is a ongoing issue sense I bought the car. I bought a extended Warranty and took the car in to be repaired in under two weeks after i bought it. The repair shop replaced a broken motor mount and transmission mount and told me the car was fixed but when i left the shop it still had the same problem. After taking it back to the dealership several times the issue never got diagnosed because of lack of concern by the dealership and their service manager, XXXX. XXXX was very rude and impossible to work with. I contacted Michael Wayne Investment out of frustration. It was at that time I was instructed by XXXX XXXX to stop making my payments until the repairs were resolved. So I did not make the payments. I started to get calls from their automated service everyday XXXX to XXXX times a day. I noticed when i would get in my car I heard a anoying beeping. Then my car would not start because they had it turned off by past time. Then because the repairs still have not been made XXXX XXXX started asking me when I am going to make my payment. So I started making the payments again, but because XXXX XXXX told me not to make several payments they are still calling me even the day after I make my regularly scheduled payments and tell me I am behind on my payments. I get calls early in the mornings all through the day and into the evening, and Sometimes tMy car wo n't start because they turn it off. I have asked them to stop harassing me with the phone calls and told them I 'm not behind on my payments because XXXX XXXX told me not to pay. I am stressed out bad because my account is past due and I am being called all the time. I never know when I am going to get I'n my car and it wo n't start. I am a poor person with a single income and I live paycheck to paycheck. I ca n't make more than XXXX payment at a time. it is wrong to treat customers this way. I wish I had never bought this vehicle. It is a bad car for my family. It has been in the shop XXXX times already sense XX/XX/XXXX and still not repaired. I do not have another vehicle to drive while this one is in the shop so many times.
