I am writing a complaint against Gold Star Finance in XXXX XXXX, TX. I recently sent them a certified Cease and Desist letter with the help of my financial counselor after a hardship I am experiencing that has caused me to default on a loan. I can no longer pay them as I only have {$800.00} a month in Social Security to live off of. This morning I was harassed over the phone from Gold Star Finance & gt ; They stated they were sending someone over to my house. Also when my home health provider tried talking to them over the phone to let them know it was not necessary they threaten to call XXXX on her because they claim I am being abused by her. I am afraid for my safety. My Financial counselor and I made a police report over the phone and this evening an officer will be coming by my home to take the rest of my report against Gold Star. I know I owe them the money however I can not afford to pay them. I was paying them up until last month however because I paid them I fell behind my utilities and had to get assistance through community resources to keep my electricity from being cut off.

On XX/XX/XXXX, around XXXX XXXX central time, a creditor called a coworker at work to ask her if she wanted to renew an installment loan. She said no and then the creditor asked her if I worked there. By coincidence, this coworker and I both have accounts with this creditor. This coworker does not know me well and didnt not remember my full name and she said that the creditor asked if she can really a message to me. My coworker said no and regardless, the creditor told her to tell me to call them as soon as possible to make payment on a past due account. Coworker told me later on what happened on the call. I was disturbed that they are revealing my debt info to coworkers and supervisors. Its so stressing and theyre making me look bad in front of my coworkers and supervisors. I really hope the CFPB could look into this and these abusive debt collection practices these personal loan and payday loan companies do and the criminal interest rates they charge. I lose sleep at night due to these companies and their predatory lending.

I currently am trying to find a new job after losing my first one. Since then I have not been able to pay my loan and I have explained this. I am being harassed constantly by gold star finance. XXXX XXXX comes to my house embarrassing me in front of my family and friends telling me I need to come in and see her. I also have been receiving several phone calls and left several voicemails everyday from gold star. I'm just sick of it. They threatened to come take my belongings as collateral and damage my property to do so. It's very depressing. When I get the cash I can come pay them. Other than that I really wish they would stop harassing me. It makes me want to just end it. I can barely pay my Car note. This Is a small town with XXXX employers and they won't hire me anywhere. Ive been trying to move so I can pay my bills but I have no gas money to keep driving. The XXXX all starts with losing my job then being harassed by loan companies. I hate my life because of this.

I am unable to make my payment until the middle of next month. When XXXX called me she said that I needed to pay now and that waiting until next month was unacceptable. We lost connection and she called me back and left a voicemail stating that we need to handle this like adults! Really, I called and tried to make arrangements as an adult to get an extension and this lady wants to tell me how to adult! In my opinion XXXX is very unprofessional and needs to have some training done on how to react to customers!
