In the beginning of XXXX of XXXX my car was stolen, I reported it to Steward financial services since they service my loan, during this call they forwarded my title to the police department. The lady said thanks for letting us know and the call was ended. I then get numerous calls in the beginning of XXXX stating that my payment due at the end of XXXX is late and I told them again my car was stolen so I cant pay at the moment. XXXX then said well your payment is past due and we need the money when can you pay. This went on for about 5 minutes back and forth until I hung up. I get a email in XXXX from XXXX, she stated I needed to call. I was hesitant because they are very rude there. I called and she apologized how my loan was handled and someone should have offered a deferment. But now Im 2 months behind. On XX/XX/XXXX XXXX sent me the deferral paperwork and said until the car is found we can defer for 3 months. On XX/XX/XXXX my car was recovered and placed on police hold for investigation, on XXXX my car was deemed a total loss by my insurance, on the same day I get an email saying my deferment was denied because the car was repairable and I need to make a payment immediately. I emailed the lady back my documents of a total loss and there was no response. I have gap coverage therefor paperwork was exchange o how much I owe to the insurance, steward financial, and XXXX ( gap ). The documents I received from XXXX and XXXX stated that the balance was paid in full but in XXXX XXXX began calling me saying I owe XXXX. When I ask why XXXX or XXXX keeps telling me that's what I need to pay or they will put it on my credit report and my credit will be messed up. They will not go over math or any paper work with me, he always states he don't care what I have, he has the correct information.

I had an auto loan with Steward Financial back in 2015. Unfortunately I lost my income shortly after purchasing the car and it was repossessed in XX/XX/2015. I did not know my rights back then. When the car was repossessed, I was never provided with any of the legally required documentation regarding the repossession. I was never provided with the option to pay the past due amounts and get the vehicle back. I was never provided any notice of intent to sell the vehicle. I was never provided any documentation showing that the vehicle had been sold, or what the remaining balance on the loan was. Upon reviewing my credit report, it appears that Steward Financial resold the vehicle, which was a 2 year old ( at the time ) XXXX XXXX with all luxury options for less than {$10000.00} which seems far fetched because I had purchased it 1 year prior for over {$23000.00}. I have disputed this information with the credit bureaus, and Steward Financial has certified to the bureaus that the information is correct. However, I mailed a letter to Steward Financial on XX/XX/XXXX asking them to provide copies of the legally required disclosures and I have not received any response whatsoever. Furthermore, when I called the customer service phone number to ask for the information over the phone, I was told that the debt was past the statute of limitations to collect so they would not be communicating with me regarding this debt. That is in violation of the Fair Credit Reporting act, since they are reporting a past due balance on my credit report and have refused to provide me with any notification of the debt!

I contacted Steward Financial on XX/XX/XXXX and spoke to representative XXXX regarding me requesting for a voluntary repossession of the XXXX XXXX XXXX at this time she advised me that her Supervisor would contact me. As of today no one has contacted me back. On XX/XX/XXXX I called again and spoke to representative XXXX. She advised me the supervisor XXXX was not in. I then asked for another supervisor. She informed me she ( XXXX ) was at lunch. I have requested effective XX/XX/XXXX to come pick up the vehicle immediately. I will be having XXXX and would like this handled before hand. I am requesting for an Administrator to contact me back at this point and the vehicle to be remove from my property immediately. On XX/XX/XXXX I received a phone call from XXXX XXXX stating they had did an internal analysis and stated it would not be cost efficient for them to pick up the vehicle. I requested for this statement to be put in writing and sent to me at this time he reported that he wouldnt be able to do this. At this point I ask what is going to happen to the vehicle since I requested for a voluntary surrender. He advised me it would be my responsibility since I am the owner of the car. I am no longer making payments on the vehicle and requested for the vehicle to be surrendered to the finance company. I also asked who was going to be paying for storage since the vehicle will be left on my property where I will jot have any responsibility for it- again he stated I was responsible. I was denied information for the recorded conversation as well as the CEO of the company.

This Auto loan was actually taken out with Steward Financial Services in XXXX and payments have NEVER been late until the COVID-19 Pandemic outbreak in XXXX. I applied for ONE MONTH deferral on Steward Financial website but NEVER GOT A REPLY. Paid TWO subsequent months in XXXX and XXXX to Steward Financial through my online account. Tried to pay for XXXX and the next thing I know was that my account was de-activated without communication. Account was passed on to XXXX XXXX and I have been inundated with phone calls even at odd hours. Reported Steward Financial to XXXX XXXX XXXX for unfair business practice and XXXX XXXX XXXX NEVER got a reply from them. There was no explanation why my account was passed on for collection and I really feel I have been treated unfairly. I agree for the amount owed but I need to continue with my online payments with Steward Financial Services and NOT with the collection Agency. Every other businesses and corporation are working with their consumers and I do not understand why Steward Financial is /should be different. I have NOT received any communication for this change in action. No payment stubs/Account details.

see attachments U.S. Constitution - Article 1 Section 10 Article 1 - The Legislative Branch Section 10 - Powers Prohibited of States No State shall enter into any Treaty, Alliance, or Confederation ; grant Letters of Marque and Reprisal ; coin Money ; emit Bills of Credit ; make any Thing but gold and silver Coin a Tender in Payment of Debts ; pass any Bill of Attainder, ex post facto Law, or Law impairing the Obligation of Contracts, or grant any Title of Nobility.

I am under the impression that not only is the contract null and void because it is missing signatures from other parties. But on the grounds that the bank never provided full disclosure. I was never told that the loan is to be paid for by the stock exchange and or other entities with my signature I was not loaned or given any silver, gold, coins or oil so I ask you. What was loaned and to whom was it loaned to?

Just for the record what was the pay off?

Steward financial loan terms are keeping me underwarter on my car loan, despite attempting to refinance directly thru them, and all attempts to make the issue better and financially feasible for both parties. the representatives are rude, do not listen to customers, have horrible attitudes with the power to make ones credit report horrendous. i have walked into 4 separate car agencies attempting to get out of the sub prime loan with each unable to assist due to the XXXX negative equity,. i have made two years of on time payments, per experian credit report. I was late 1 business day and they were not graceful in helping me keep that from being reported. the orginal loan was for roughly 20K with monthly payments of XXXX after two years the principal of the loan has only went down XXXX dollars.
