Complaint: As you probably know, XXXX is not a good choice when it comes to getting a loan or settling issues with these guys. Recently my car was repossessed due to inaccurate information given as well as deceitful tactics to get payments out of me. recently I just came back from XXXX and my finances were were not in order. So im basically playing catch up. I spoke to rep. in XXXX regarding my payments as I was 4 months behind. I told the rep I could pay 2 months which totaled out to be XXXX. She then said I qualified for a deferment program since a years worth of payments on time and my account would be current.. needless to say I never saw those deferment documents after calling and asking about it nobody seem to know anything. So with that being said My car was charged off and repossessed because of non payment. I wen tot an organization that was willing to pay the amount owed to get my car out of repossession status. The rep I spoke with was fully aware of what we discussed I repeated the terms over and over and she agreed and told if I paid that amount my car would be released to me. So the company called to get the car she had no recollection of what I was talking about so that 's twice in a matter of months either their incompetent or full of scams. Ive read one too many stories about this company.

Complaint: In XXXX 2014 I was in XXXX and was notified that I was to be XXXX. Knowing this I knew that I would no longer be able to pay for the car loan I had. I then called SNAAC to have the car voluntarily repossessed. They got the car a week later and that 's when I started to receive calls to restart my allotment to pay for the car. They told me that if I did not pay my debt that they would then call my commander due to being in violation of UCMJ for not paying my debts. I did not know what they did was illegal until I came across your article.

Complaint: I just read a case against Security National Acceptance filed by CFPB on a service member and it states that SNAAC is not supposed to get into any more problems with the service members but here I am an XXXX military who got an auto loan with them. In XXXX of 2015 I filed for bankruptcy which was discharged in XXXX of 2015. I am attaching the email from the Judgement Administrator at SNAAC who stated very clearly that she received the court documents and I am retaining my vehicle. I took that email as confirmation and have been making payments to SNAAC for the past one year on time. SNAAC has not been reporting any payments to the credit bureaus and upon asking I got told that oh it was discharged in bankruptcy. I have made payments to SNAAC for the pat one year. I have been arguing with them about this since like XXXX of 2015 when I first found out about this. No response, no resolution nothing. My credit score hurting, did not get approved for any auto loan anywhere till yesterday finally with a high interest rate, a security investigation going on me with the military and no positive accounts reported in the credit bureau which may affect my clearance with the military, I am not getting any response from SNAAC they never email or call me, customer service representatives are very rude and they tell me they can not do anything and they always transfer me to XXXX XXXX the current Judgment administrator who never answers her phone or gets back to me. So I have one year of payments not reported to the credit bureaus which has affected my credit rating, no credit card approvals an auto loan approval with a high interest rate, the metal torture Im going through right now, the time I waste in contacting and looking for answers with no resolution.

Complaint: I 've been having several issues with SNAAC which is the company I 'm financing my vehicle through. On XXXX XXXX my vehicle got ceased because I was behind on a payment due to a tornado ripping through XXXX Georgia so I had to pay for repairs on my vehicle. Before I knew my vehicle was getting repo 'd I did schedule XXXX payments off {$400.00} and my recurring payment of {$330.00}. Later on that evening they took my vehicle and I contacted SNAAC to see what all I 'd have to do in order to get it back. They were like, you 'll get an email. Did n't receive any thing until a couple of days later. Payments were made and my account was back in good standing but still had difficulties on their customer service support side. They were all rude and unprofessional. I 'm in the XXXX and the last thing I need is to be without a vehicle. On the XXXX of XXXX I received my vehicle back paying a total of {$430.00} in towing fees and storage I guess. Today, XXXX XXXX, I get an official letter from SNAAC which is a " NOTICE OF OUR PLAN TO SELL PROPERTY '' letter with my vehicle id number and information. There 's a box checked off which states " WE WILL SELL THE VEHICLE AT A PRIVATE SALE SOMETIME AFTER 10 DAYS FROM XXXX/XXXX/2016. ASALE COULD INCLUDE A LEASE OR LICENSE. '' Not understanding why this is happening to me.

Complaint: I got a vehicle loan in XXXX from Security National Automotive Acceptance. I had been in contact with this company in XXXX to come pick the car up because it was not working. I was told through email " the car is not worth the pick up value. '' I got out the military and moved back to XXXX where I have been living and working. I was notified on XXXX XXXX that my wages from my job at XXXX would be garnished. I called the payroll department because I could n't understand why my wages were being garnished for a loan I had 10 yrs ago. I was informed by the payroll specialist that " the garnishment is illegal because you live in XXXX and under federal law XXXX residents are not subject to creditor wage garnishments. '' The payroll specialist also informed me that she had to " code it AS IF it were a student loan to force it through. '' I am asking for help with this matter because not only is this debt 10 years old but I no longer have the car and I also tried to give the car bad years ago.

Complaint: I purchased a XXXX Cheverolet Cobalt back XX/XX/XXXX when I was XXXX in the Air Force in XXXX Georgia XXXX. The car was overpriced and they charged me a very high interest rate. The payments were paid via an allotment directly from my paycheck. I paid the payments faithfully while in active duty. In XXXX I XXXX could no longer make the payments. I contacted Security National XXXX to see if they would defer my payment until I could find employment, but they refused to work with me. The eventually repossed the car and resold it to another buyer. I have not seen or heard anything from them since, but they have added this to my credit report as a charge-off and have an outstanding balance of {$8300.00}. I feel that this is unfair especially since the car has been resold and I did pay for the car faithfully when in the Air Force and did try to work out an arrangement with them, which they refused. I am asking CFPB to please assist me in getting this removed from my credit report. I would like to purchase another vehicle but this has prevented me from gettng approved for financing over the years. I appreciate any help that your agency can provide. Thanking you in advance.

Complaint: Security National has wrongfully repossessed my car on XXXX separate occasions. The first time my car was repossessed, Security National made an error on processing a payment deferment and repossessed my car while I was serving a 12 month XXXX. No notice was given after the repossession and my wife believed the car to be stolen. Upon further inspection after returning my vehicle there was significant damage to the front of my car consistent with the repo company improperly towing my vehicle. I immediately notified Security National of the issue and sent detailed photos of the damage. My complaint was however ignored and I was never compensated for the damages or the loss of use of my vehicle. A year passed since this incident and I was forced to file chapter XXXX bankruptcy for some uncontrollable circumstances. I filed a successful motion to redeem my vehicle from Security National at the fair market value. Security National failed to adhere to the court order and held the title to the vehicle in excess of 30 days after the funds had been received far exceeding the 3 day mandated surrender of the title annotated in the court order. During this time they continued to aggressively seek the recovery of my vehicle by having repossession agents come to my home. I contacted Security National about this issue and was told by a representative that they were still seeking to collect a debt from me and were unaware of any court documents sent to them even though the check sent to them had been cashed almost a month prior. It was n't until I was put on an extended hold and told that the documents had been magically found that I was reassured the issue would be resolved and the account would be closed, the title sent out and the repossession efforts would cease. Almost two weeks had passed following this conversation and another repo agent successfully repossessed my vehicle on a Sunday at my residence. I was unable to seek any kind of help because of this and was n't able to contact Security National till the following day. The repo company blamed Security National for not rescinding the repo order and Security National blamed the repo company for not receiving notice to cancel the order. Irrigardless of their communication issues I was still a victim of my car being unlawfully repossessed when Security National had no legal ownership of my vehicle. Again, I was never compensated for the inconvience or loss of use of my vehicle for this second wrongful repossession. The disorganization of this auto lender is appalling and I feel what has happened to me is unacceptable.

Complaint: I purchased a XXXX mustang from a used car dealership in XX/XX/XXXX. The car had some issues, so I traded it in a few months later for a XXXX mustang. The dealership stated we could do an even trade of the value of the new vehicle to be the same as what I owed on the old one. So I took out a loan on the new vehicle believing the dealership was going to pay off the old one. A few months passed, I had to go XXXX, and I eventually found out that the dealership went out of business, did n't declare bankruptcy, did n't list me as a payee, and basically left me high and dry with twice the amount of debt I was intended to have.
