I obtained a title loan on a vehicle dated XX/XX/XXXX. Since that time I lost my job and fell behind on payments. I received a letter from the loan company on XX/XX/XXXX telling me that I had defaulted on the loan and demanding I give the vehicle to them or I would be criminally and civilly prosecuted and face 2 years in prison and {$150000.00} fine. A few minutes later an elderly family friend of mine called me hysterically and read to me a letter she had just received in the mail and opened and to my shock and horror it was the same letter they had mailed me. This letter was addressed to both her and me on the envelope. She was simply listed as a reference when I applied for the loan. At no time did I give have never given ANY type of permission to discuss this debt with any third party. I have never even been to the state where my elderly friend lives and have certainly never received mail there. The loan company has a good mailing address for me as well as a good contact phone #. This letter received by my friend gave my account #, Delinquency, dates of loan, all info about the loan, and threats of prosecution of myself. She does not understand why they sent this to her and believes they are coming after her for the loan and that she is somehow involved. She is extremely upset and my life has been in turmoil since this happened since now my entire circle of friends and family know all of this and some even believe that I actually did try and involve her since it is so outrageous that the loan company would send her a letter like this.

Back in 2008 I obtained an Payday loan. I then had to file for bankruptcy and then it got dismissed. Most of my debt form that bankruptcy it appears on my credit report. I attempted to pay this off as it states on my credit report that I owe {$130.00} to clear this off. I called to pay this off and clear the debt. They refuse to take the {$130.00} that they are reporting and now they want me to pay over {$500.00}. I have all the emails and correspondence of this attempts to settle and their response. I then decided to go to the office since I thought I could be easier once I was there to try to settle this matter XXXX more time. This was not possible and instead they claim they will settle with me for the amount of $ 300+. I informed them that this debt has been since 2008 and it would soon fall off my credit report but that I wanted to make the attempt XXXX more time to settle. They are reluctant in any changes. What upsets me is not only that I am trying to clear this off but that they provide the incorrect information and they still are adamant about settling. Why do they report XXXX amount and then ask for another? They claimed that if I did not settle for the amount they are asking that they will NEVER clear the title on the vehicle. I do not use that vehicle but all I want is to remove it from my credit report to improve my credit.

I had took out a title loan and had to file bankruptcy a few months after taking out the loan and this loan was included in the bankruptcy. I was able to get that dismissed and then I get a letter they had possession of my vehicle and were going to sell it in 5 days. I made an arrangement with XXXX XXXX to pay {$1000.00} by the following Tuesday XXXX. She ended up raising it to {$2000.00} and then {$3000.00} by the deadline saying XXXX XXXX would not allow her to take less. I was able to get the funds to them. They also claimed I was being charged storage fees that they were renting a space to store my vehicle. I paid the balance off a few weeks later and it turns out they owned the lot my vehicle was at behind one of their stores. I am requesting a refund of the difference in the agreement of {$2300.00}. This company is unethical, misleads and are untruthful in dealing or making payment arrangements with the public. If they somehow take possesion of your vehicle they will charge additional " made up '' fees and hold the vehicle hostage to get additional money out of the public.

We have been working with Presto Auto Loans of XXXX arizona. We had taken out a loan XX/XX/XXXX for {$5000.00} and now as of XX/XX/XXXX we have still not come to any conclusions or resolutions. Presto Auto Loans has since reported our vehicle as repossessed to the credit companies and we do not know where the vehicle is! They have not cooperated at all with our complaints and desire for an inquiry, we have made countless calls that have fallen on deaf ears. Countless emails have been written to the supposed " vice president '' XXXX XXXX but his replies are of a snarky rhetoric that demands we go to the police as it it now a " police matter '' we also have been told that the car has been reported " stolen ''. Nothing has been done on Presto 's part to help us with the investigation and have been extremely uncooperative.

On XX/XX/XXXX the title loan company filed a court case against myself. The Judge assigned to the case however dismissed the case on XX/XX/XXXX, with no judgements against me. The company which is Presto Auto Loans however on XX/XX/XXXX began harrassing me as well as relatives that are not and were never on the title loan. Which consists of leaving threats on my daughters voicemail, sending letters of jail time to my other children and harassing me at my employer at this point. They are doing this even though their lawsuit was dismissed.
