Account status incorrect
Complaint: I have requested copies of any and all contracts with the company and none have been produced to evidence that I have an account with the company and I never executed a contract with the company. The mail sent to the address listed on two bureaus is returned as undeliverable. The company reports on my credit report ALL of the following as the status of the alleged account : Closed - charge off but continues to report FP ( Failure to Pay ) EVERY month as well as a current balance of {$10000.00}.
On another Bureau - the address listed for the company has all the mail returned as unable to forward addressee unknown and reports the account charged off, bad debt placed for collection & Skip as well as FP ( Failure to Pay ) EVERY month as well as a current balance of {$10000.00}.
On the third bureau the address listed for the company has all the mail returned as unable to forward addressee unknown and reports the account charged off, bad debt These actions are all inconsistent with one another. I have attempted to investigate this company and it appears that it went out of business therefore the reporting can not be accurate.

Struggling to pay your loan
Vehicle loan or lease: Loan
Denied request to lower payments
Complaint: There are two parties on the loan account for a XXXX XXXX XXXX financed through Gateway. We have tried to be refinanced, but the bank refuses to do refinancing and we are now subject soon to repo. The primary person is not the owner of the actual vehicle, but the co signer is. The way the car dealership got us approved was by placing XXXX XXXX as the cosigner, instead of the primary.
XXXX XXXX is currently and has been actively on SSI XXXX. Due to the high monthly note, we have had to already extend our contract by two months. We have also received numerous calls. We have been told that if we don't secure payments, we would be subject again to repo prior to even the dates of when a repo can actually start to take place. We tried the other day to cancel a secure payment ( which we were forced to do as they said we have no other option, and would be up for repo if we didn't " secure '' a pre planned payment ) because of health issues that just came up, and in fact we almost couldn't afford to pay rent this month. But, they have once again refused.
We can't afford to have no vehicle as well as a repo. Please help. We have tried trades, selling privately, refinances, etc. We have even tried to apply to transfer debt to credit card and got denied.
Also, ever since we got the vehicle we have had concerns on the loan due to the numbers seeming to not be correct, but the dealership and bank said they are ... but .... please see.The loan even includes a XXXX trade POSITIVE equity.
The dealership said the bank and them were fine with us heading out after the deal and we could just show insurance proof later on, also.

Applying for a mortgage or refinancing an existing mortgage
Mortgage: Conventional home mortgage
Complaint: We are currently trying to refinance with a lender ; however, per our Title pull, we have an existing outstanding mortgage on our home from XX/XX/XXXX from TCF Bank, ( which was a first mortgage from the purchase ) that was never recorded as being satisfied / paid off ( even though it we refinanced with another company in XXXX and our first mortgage was paid off via that refinance ). We faxed a loan satisfaction / release request on XX/XX/XXXX to TCF Bank, and since then this has not been satisfied. We have called TCF Bank every week since then ( sometimes several times a week ) to find out why this document hasn't been recorded yet with our County, and they give a different story every time ( it's still processing, it's delayed, it's been satisfied / processed, it was sent to the County, it wasn't sent to the county yet, etc. ). Also, we can never speak with anyone but customer service, as they will never connect us to anyone in the loan / lien department there. We have been given the runaround for over 2 months now, and since then we have not only lost our loan rate lock ( which we paid over {$2500.00} for ), but also months of lost savings from not being able to refinance ( over {$500.00} a month for several months now ). TCF Bank refuses to send us the document directly so that we can bring it to the County for recording ourselves, and will not give us a straight answer as to why this has never been recorded with our county.

Overdrafts and overdraft fees
Complaint: We enrolled in the overdraft protection. After doing so we received a total of {$100.00} in overdraft fees. The employees are not informing us how this system works, until we get a overdraft fee and are like oh Im so sorry you didnt know how it worked. We deposited money into the account to cover the balance and there was another fee. The bank is TCF bank. They say that it was posted after the money was posted but online it shows no charge after our deposit. It seems like they are just making up reasons to not give us back our money, this seems like its illegal for them to do this, and we want to file charges.

Funds not handled or disbursed as instructed
Complaint: On XX/XX/2019 I realized my checking and savings account had been emptied and immediately called my bank (TCF)At which time I was made aware that someone called in on the XXXX of XXXX claiming to be me, asked for all of my account balances and transferred all the money from my savings to my checking account. They then reported my card ending in XXXX as stolen and went to a TCF location to pick up a new card. They then used this card to remove all the money from my checking account totaling an amount of $XXXX.This same day I made my fraud claim letting them know that it was likely the theives used an I.D and social security number that was stolen with my purse sometime early in XX/XX/XXXX and committed Identity theft. It should be noted that tcf was aware of this theft because I gave them this information when I cancelled my card ending in XXXX in early XX/XX/XXXX (when my purse was stolen). for them to send me the card which I had in my possession at the time of this incident ending in XXXX (which the thieves cancelled to enact these fraudulent transaction). I made them aware of this again on XX/XX/XXXX, let the representative know that it was not me that called in on the XXXX, and gave them the reference number for the police report which details that my purse along with my I.D, S.S card, and tcf card ending in XXXX was stolen after a theif busted out my car window to take my property. The reference number to that police report is XXXX. I also assured them that no where in my stolen possessions was there any documentation detailing my security pin because I have never written it down and have never given it to another party.On XX/XX/XXXX I called TCF to check the status of my claim and was told that on XX/XX/XXXX my claim was denied because they believed I was the person who canceled my card ending in XXXX on the XXXX, picked up the new card, and withdrew the money from my account.On this day I requested a reevaluation requesting, if possible, that they check their camera footage from the bank where the card that was issued fraudulently was claimed to verify this was not me. I also reiterated to them that I was not the person who called in on the XXXX to cancel my card ending in XXXX which is the last card I had in my possession. In addition I pointed out that typically whenever I contact TCF about my account they would verify my current address and phone number which is information that was not stolen with my purse ( they had an old I.D with an address that was 2 years old)which caused me to suspect these security checks were bypassed when the theives called in and when they picked up a new card at a branch. Other information I gave them which I thought might be helpful included the facts that I have not called in to get my balance in years because I use their app (which is how I found out my account had been cleared out) and also that I have only ever called them from my current phone number which would have been different from the number the thieves called from.Since XX/XX/XXXX they have refunded money that was taken with the fraudulently achieved card that was spent at some gas stations and a dunken donuts but have not acknowledged the $XXXX that was stolen from me via atm. To this date (XX/XX/2019) my reeavulation has been pending eventhough I was given the expectation that my case would be resolved in 5-7 business days.

Account status incorrect
Complaint: The co-owner of an auto loan with Gateway One Lending & Finance filed Chapter XXXX bankruptcy which was granted XX/XX/XXXX. I, the party that did NOT file bankruptcy, continued making payments for several years with no default whatsoever before, during, or after the bankruptcy of the other party. No negative information transpired to my credit report throughout the life of the loan until I paid off the vehicle. I made my regular payment in XX/XX/XXXX, and on XX/XX/XXXX called and paid off the remaining balance. I then get a notification that my FICO score dropped from XXXX to XXXX which is how I found out that Gateway incorrectly charged the account off and report as XX/XX/XXXX being a serious delinquent payment. I have tried numerous times calling and they have advised that the account is protected under bankruptcy law and this is the way it is. They have dragged me down as if I was the one that filed bankruptcy and as if they never received payment for any of the months. They never sent me any statements or mail regarding the account. I could not see my transaction history online and had to call and request it. With that being said, they sent me one transaction history which was then revised after the dispute and I was sent a second "CORRECTED" transaction history of the loan.

Problem while selling or giving up the vehicle
Complaint: On XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX XXXX located in XXXX, MI repossessed my vehicle for owed payments to Gateway Lending & Finance for a XXXX XXXX XXXX. I attempted to contact Gateway One that same day but never was able to speak with an actual representative live. I finally got a hold of someone at Gateway XX/XX/XXXX. The person I spoke with directed me to the repossession collection agency XXXX XXXX to obtain my items from my vehicle as permitted by Michigan law. I contacted XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX and spoke with a person claiming to work off of appointments. Since the vehicle was repossessed from XXXX XXXX, MI to XXXX, MI there is at least a 30 minute drive for me to get my items back. I told the person I would have to contact XXXX XXXX back again after I arrange for a ride to pick my items up. I was under the impression that I would have time to actually go through the vehicle, the person at XXXX XXXX claimed it was a 30 minute appointment. I contacted XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX after arranging transportation at XXXX XXXX and leave a message. The person contacts me back at XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX. We agree to an appointment at XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX for me to be able to remove my items. I ended up being late for my appointment since my elderly, XXXX mother let me drive her car there but got lost on the way to pick me up. I contacted XXXX XXXX at XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX to confirm our appointment at XXXX XXXX, the person I spoke with stated ok. I contacted them again at XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX to let her know I was running late, there was no answer nor any answering machine when I called. I called again at XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX and left a message stating I was running late. Once I arrive at XXXX XXXX the person claimed our appointment was at XXXX XXXX very rudely instead of XXXX XXXX as if wanting some kind of argument despite our phone call confirming the latter time earlier on XX/XX/XXXX. The person claimed the paper I signed was to waive any fees associated with removing my items from my vehicle that may be imposed by XXXX XXXX. She then told me to stand outside of the office. Seconds later she threw a trash bag with holes in it and full of my items onto the ground but did not say another word to me. Once I was able to go through the items in detail in the trash bag I realized that there are at least 2 items missing that were in my inner console of my vehicle which belong to me. I contacted XXXX XXXX to notify them of the missing items at XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX and left a message. XXXX XXXX lied about our confirmed appointment time and stole at least 2 items from my vehicle. I have my cell phone call listings to show when I contacted XXXX XXXX to obtain my items from my vehicle as proof.

I have until XXXX through tcf to fix it.so i deposited XXXX dollars to fix my negative balance at XXXX that night.which left me at XXXX.The next day XX/XX/XXXX i noticed i was negative again.So i deposited XXXX at XXXX that morning which left me at XXXX. On XX/XX/XXXX i woke up, checked my account and noticed i had an XXXX over draft fee. When i called to ask why, the lady told me my negative balance was from the day prior.which is impossible considering i fixed my account the day prior.luckily she agreed to help and take off -XXXX to make it -XXXX.i called back again that day still not understanding and they then told me its possible my fees came out at noon on the XXXX.which still doesnt make sense.they charged me 5 over draft fees total. One which i shouldnt have even gotten considering im allowed to have up to negative XXXX bucks before being charged.when breaking down the over draft fees, they charged me one for -XXXX. I went into the bank today for them to tell me that my funds on the XXXX must have came out after i fixed my account with the XXXX dollars that day.so basically what they are trying to say is they must have taken the funds out at after XXXX on the XXXX.when i asked if they could tell me what time kwik trip took out those fees he told me there isnt a way of knowing because they dont have the times when kwik trip ran it through ( which makes no sense ) however, they showed me what times the other funds came out but when they showed me they told me they could not give me that form to leave with because its the banks. How am i not able to take a copy of that home?! Please look into my account and please help me.i feel as though they are stealing from me.
