I originally purchased a car financed by XXXX XXXX XXXX. I had filed a BK XXXX and it was dismissed because I could n't complete payment plan established due to I was injured on the job. I was making on time payment up until the injury at work. After the BK was dismissed XXXX XXXX had the car towed by a tow company with a suspended license then repossessed the car. I was never informed about what happened to the car. I received notification that the debt was XXXX. I filed another complaint indicating that XXXX XXXX was still reporting the debt as missed payments when it was charged off. After reporting this to you FTC, they contacted me to explain why the amount went from {$7000.00} when it was in bk then it went to {$9000.00}. They reported it as {$12000.00} just recently and now have taken the account out of charged off status then added additional fees totaling $ XXXX. I asked XXXX how did it go from {$7000.00} to {$12000.00} and they tacked on additional fees and interest. After taking it out of charged off status they have sent to a collection agency only after my complaint and tacked on more money claiming additional interest. I purchased the car for {$9900.00} I put down {$2500.00} and made payments up until my injury. They added on additional which they stated for finance fees, I never signed a document for {$15000.00} because I never qualified for that amount. They stated that I qualified for the car at {$9900.00} but they added additional finance fees. They are becoming threatening. They denied reporting the account for missed payments but I still receive alerts for missed payments and have been for several months now. They are aware of my situation, they sold the car, I agreed to the repossession and the charge off per my attorney through BK. I feel that they are retaliating against me because I reported to you about their fraudulent reporting of missed payments for this account. I do not owe {$17000.00} for a {$9000.00} car that I no longer have. They never contacted me about payment arrangements after bk, they just picked up the car. I 'm a single mother paying high end rent and its not cheap. They are threatening my income. This debt statue of limitations runs out next year.

In XX/XX/XXXX My wife and I purchased a XXXX XXXX XXXX from XXXX XXXX XXXX. The vehicle was financed with Foreman Financial Inc. ; shortly after we drove away with our car we experienced trouble with the transmission. We immediately contacted the dealership and Foreman Financial as we were committed to a hefty loan at a predatory interest rate ( yes we had challenged credit at the time of purchase. ) The owner of the dealership at first disputed the claim that the vehicle he sold us had a pre-existing issue and during that time my wife contacted Foreman Financial to discuss options on what we could do in the event that we got a " Lemon '' the representative mentioned we could voluntarily repossess the vehicle in which we absolutely were against. However there were notes placed in there system that we agreed to this. Foreman financial has since reported this to the 3 major credit agencies that the vehicle has been repossessed in XXXX it is now XX/XX/XXXX and no correction has been made as I have contacted them several times in regards to this matter. never did we agree or sign documentation to repossess the vehicle and Never has Foreman Financial EVER taken possession of the vehicle voluntarily or involuntarily! They refuse to correct this issue and it in fact has affected my wife and I 's Credit rating which we have made huge strides in the right direction! Aside from that issue they partake in a ridiculous collection practice even if you are not late or delinquent on your payments. they call numerous times throughout the day and say absolutely nothing! they just hang up in about 1 min. I have confirmed this to be them as I have called these mystery numbers and they all lead to there automated system!

I called the finance company to get the pay out on my account. Because I saw that something di not look right. They told me what the pay out was and they also told me about late fees and insurance waiver fees. I then contested some of the fees. I wrote a check for that month 's payment and a check for the remaining principle. I wrote on the check. " this check is to be applied to principle only ''. My thoughts were to pay off the principle and do my research on the other charges. When I saw that they had cashed my check I went ahead and called to confirm my request. They told me that it did not happen they way I had requested and that they would try to take care of it. I just got a call from the finance company that I needed to pay for the remaining principle amount along with interest on that amount. I think they should have at least given me the courtesy to call me and say hey we cant do this the way you want. As far as I know a check is a written agreement and if they sign and cashed it then they have to honor the agreement.

FOREMAN FINANCIAL-XXXX I had become ill and was on workers comp for almost XXXX years. I was unable to pay for the vehicle which was purchased for {$9900.00} and I paid {$2500.00} down with monthly car payments of {$250.00}. Due to short pay and hours due to workers comp I was unable to make the payments. Foreman Financial picked up the vehicle XXXX years ago and they are reporting the car as missed payments each month XXXX times and also shows vehicle is charged off but keeps reporting missed payments and the balance amount is false. They keep reporting {$9900.00}, {$11000.00} and {$12000.00} as owed which would mean I never made any payments at all when I did. They keep reporting this which is damaging my credit and I receive alerts XXXX times a month regarding missed payments when the debt was charged off and car was repossessed. Foreman Financial has been sued for their unfair collection and reporting practices and this company still continues to do so unfairly to damage and ruin others credit.

In XXXX XXXX a vehicle that I received a loan for from Foreman Financial was impounded. After realizing I was unable to get the vehicle back, I began trying to work with Foreman. I took the loan out in XXXX XXXX, and made a payment on the vehicle every month and was not in default at the time of the impound. Foreman later sent the vehicle to collections. The collection agency was requesting XXXX, but I had made all the payments, and the loan was only due for one year of payments. I sent a formal letter requesting a payment history and the supporting loan documents, but instead it was charged off and placed on my credit. I feel it was unfair as I was willing to payoff of the loan to prevent the credit impacts. I want this off my credit and my mothers ( XXXX XXXX ) and I want the chance to pay the remaining payments, as I was told they were going to allow me to do.

XXXX XXXX is reporting an erroneous debt on my credit file. I recently checked my credit and noticed this debt with XXXX XXXX that I do not owe. I have consulted with my Attorney General for the state of California and the statue to enforce and collect on this debt is past the statute of limitations. NO tonly is this account pas the statue but it is also past the credit reporting limit under the FCRA guidelines. I do not owe this debt, you may not collect on this debt and it must be removed off my credit report. Please be advised that reporting false information on my credit report could constitute fraud under both federal and state laws. If you continue to report erroneous debt on my credit file, I will not hesitate to bring legal action against you.

I received a car loan for which I made two years payments for, on a three year loan. After the car was impounded in 2013, I attempted to work with Forman Financial and their collections department, and was told loan docs and payment history would be sent so we could work out a payment plan. However, the documents I requested were never received and the loan was charged off. I would like charge off removed and the amount reflected in the report to show what was owed after the two years payments and XXXX down payment. I am also requesting copies of the loan documents and payment history. Also my credit report shows that they recently increased the loan amount.
