On 07/27/2023, around 10:19 am, I contacted Lobel Financial Bank about a pay-out amount for my 2015, ***** Traverse. I spoke to a ***** **************** Representative, who stated that, the payout amount given today, would only be valid until tomorrow by 3 pm pacific time in the amount of $1973.47. I wrote the information down and ended the call. Later that evening, after work, my family and I were talking about the payout amount and realized that the payout amount was over $493.47. Since the bank was closed, I decided to wait until the morning to contact the bank. On 07/28/2023, around 6:30 am, since their customer service opened at 6 AM, I called. After 10 minutes, waiting, my call was answered and I spoke to a male (***), who informed me that the reason for the $493.47 is due to being late 5 times in the past five years. I told him that's impossible, I have always made my payment before the late fee due date. So I proceeded by asking to speak to a Supervisor. I was placed on hold several times and the phone hung up. I called back, spoke to another ***, who at first refused to allow me to speak with a Supervisor, then asked me for my phone number and said that a Supervisor will contact me shortly or before the end of business day, today. I explained to the *** about the payment amount, which needs to be paid by 3 pm today and I would like to get it resolved, so I can fulfill my contract. I waited on the phone call and I never received one, plus the branch does not open on Saturday. My payments are due on the 19th of every month, with a 10 days grace ****** before it becomes late, which is the 29th of each month. I have a copy of all my payments made over the past 5 years and the payments history made on the Lobel website. FYI, my account has no late fee amount on it due to late payments. My payment amount is $387.32 X 4=$1549.20 for the four remaining months.Business response

I am a customer of ********************. I obtained a Car loan with them two years ago. They installed a *** on my car called "Trax" to keep the cars secure from any missed payments. After 15 days of purchasing my car (2013 ******* Sonata), the *** blocked my car and I couldn't use for a few days. The same issue happened only a few days after; I could not move the car so I had to pay for a towing truck to move it to the ******* dealership. ******* ran a diagnostic and it came out to be the *** blocking the car again. I had to pay $200 for the diagnostic and #*** for the towing truck. I contacted Lobel Financial several times to reimburse me for the expenses since it was not a manufactory issue. Lobel Financial never contacted me about this. Now, 15 days ago my car locked again. I had to pay $150 approx. for the towing truck and $200 for the diagnostic again. I keep calling and they either hang up or transfer me to different people. I don't have a car since July 4th , 2023.Business response

The company lied about how far back I was on payments. They added interest rates before my payments were even due and made it seem like I was 3 months late when it was 2. I just spoke with them yesterday and its wasnt even 75 days. The last payment I mas was also on the 27th of February showing that I usually paid early and ahead of time. They refused to allow me to get a payment plan and then reported the same credit account multiple times to ruin my credit on purpose before they even got in contact with me. They are scammers. Furthermore I wasnt contacted and spoken to verbally nor is the address on my account my current address on my identification. Not to mention they lied saying that I paid no percentage of my loan when reporting delinquency even tho clearly I already paid 5 of not 6 months of my loan so the interest rates are incorrect because the balance was lower.Business response
