      My Bankruptcy was discharged and the wrong type of tax form was sent to me. I need this fixed so I can file taxes. With a discharge in chapter 7 I should have received a 1099-C

      Date: 02/12/2025

      This matter is resolved.  A new 1099 tax form was sent to complainant last week once we received the proper bankruptcy information.

      I recently attempted to finance a device through **********************, and it has been the worst experience I have ever encountered in my years of business. The information collection was excessive and intrusivefar beyond whats standard for a financing application. Despite my credit scores being over *** across the board and my background as CEO of my own company, fractional CTO of two airlines, and a former consultant at both *** and *********, DLL still imposed an unreasonably lengthy and complex approval process.After finally getting through their excessive requirements, DLL confirmed my shipping address, yet still managed to ship the device to the wrong location. To make matters worse, after I had already purchased accessories to complement the device and the device itself had been shipped, DLL decided to recall it without any reasonable explanation. Then, I received a notification saying I would need to wait 30 days for more detailsthis, after all the wasted time and resources Ive already spent dealing with them.When I tried calling their customer service number for help, I waited on hold for 20 minutes, only to be told that I should contact the vendor instead. This response made it clear that DLL does not understand what customer support means. I have never had my time so wasted by a ********** a professional who relies on timely and accurate service, I am deeply disappointed. I strongly believe ***** should reconsider its association with DLL Finance, as this experience reflects poorly on ****** commitment to customer satisfaction.

      Customer Answer

      Complaint Reference: 22526923

      I am rejecting this response for the following substantial reasons:

      1. Mishandling of Business Verification
         - The business incorrectly claimed they "could not find" my valid tax number
         - Our business has been established and operating for 2 years with proper documentation
         - This error on their part was the basis for an incorrect rejection
         - The verification failure appears to be due to their internal process issues, not any fault on our end

      2. Time and Resource Impact
         - This process has created significant operational disruptions:
           - Multiple hours spent on communication with Apple support
           - Business productivity losses due to device recall
           - Administrative overhead of managing the verification process
           - Repeated submission of already-verified business documentation
         
      3. Severe Business and Economic Impact
         - This process has directly blocked pending orders of 40+ additional iPads across two separate accounts
         - The cumulative effect of this extended process has resulted in:
           - Lost working hours that could have been spent on business operations
           - Reduced productivity due to lack of necessary equipment
           - Additional administrative costs
           - Time spent by multiple parties (our business, *****, support staff) that could have been better utilized
           - Significant delay in deploying essential technology across our organization
           - Potential impact on our business scaling and operational efficiency

      4. Process Inefficiencies
         - Initial deployment of iPad followed by unexpected recall
         - Failure to properly verify readily available business credentials
         - Extended resolution timeline exceeding standard service expectations
         - Multiple rounds of unnecessary documentation requests

      Requested Resolution:
      1. Immediate review and acknowledgment of our valid business credentials
      2. Expedited resolution of the iPad recall situation
      3. Implementation of process improvements to prevent similar verification errors
      4. Compensation consideration for the extensive business disruption and time wastage

      This situation represents a significant failure in business verification processes and has created an unnecessarily prolonged resolution timeline that impacts not just our business, but represents a broader economic inefficiency through wasted time and resources across multiple organizations.

      Sincerely,
      ******** ******

      I purchased a tractor from a ***** dealer and financed part of the tractor through *****************. I have been paying extra on the loan amount every month and discovered that the extra money was going towards the following month payment and not towards the principal. I called ***************** today 10/21/2024 and I was told that I would have to call them every month after I make a payment and it clears my bank to advise ***************** to have them apply my extra money to my principal and not applied to the next months payment. I believe that this is a very deceptive practice.

      I had purchased a tractor from a kioti dealer. DLL was the business that provided me with the loan. I discussed with the man that sold it to me how I would like to get it financed. He agreed to help me work with DLL to get the terms I had asked for. DLL first said it was no problem they would just need to rework the deal to get me the correct interest rate. So when they did drop my interest rate they raised the actual sale price to where it didnt help me at all. I have saved emails and text with the salesman saying he could get it done. I also have a letter from the financial company saying they could do it for a small fee. It says nothing about the sudden increase in the price. All I wanted to do is pay for the implants for my tractor and get a lower interest rate. Instead when they give me a lower rate they raise the price. I dont feel its right for people to run deals if they just charge more to compensate for what they say you are saving

Still refuses to remove late payment being reported due to violation of 15 US CODE 1666e (e).Picture of email received admitting they have not been in compliance.Unable to file a report with CFPB.

      Complaint: 22079960

      I am rejecting this response because:  this company's employee told me the late would be removed from credit ***orting when I signed up for auto payment, it was then told to me that "promise" would not be honored.  Employee should NOT have told consumer it would be done if the company would not honor or stand by their employee.

      No mention of call being listened to to show the consumer is mistaken in my memory of the promise. 

      The company just failed to honor what employee told consumer and continues to dishonor what was told or provide proof that was not promised by employee to consumer.

      If company *** promised to remove late as a result of signing up in autopay, company should honor what was told to consumer!

      On two sperate occasions via certified mail, I have requested full disclosure on the alleged loan from DLL Finance. On both occasions, I received no response to the information requested which is a violation of the Fair Credit Act Reporting Act. DLL refuses to verify the loan with full disclosure being who funded the loan, how was the promissory note used, how are the payments reflected on the account, where did the money come from, etc,... DLL Finance is a very secretive company and only demands payment and nothing more.... Two attempts were made to payoff the alleged loan with negotiable instruments per the *** and FCR and they were both denied by DLL.

      Complaint: 21992470

      I am rejecting this response because:

      firstly, the letter sent to me clearly shows someone elses name at the top of the letter. This should first informal show that DLL finance is unorganized and confuses one account with the other.

      Secondly, sending me a copy of an agreement that I signed is not full disclosure of a loan. There was no meeting of the minds. Theres no contract signed by both parties and again it does not show full disclosure of what was done with Those documents.  There is clearly language in the **** And other banking documents that show how negotiable instruments can be used.

      This is not an attempt to not satisfy a debt, if owed, but rather an attempt for full disclosure about documents, Ledgers, bookkeeping, and any other information related to how the loan was funded.

      I have spoken to DLL finance by phone and they are unwilling to provide any of that information which is violation of the ******

      The piece of equipment I bought in July 2023 was financed thru them. I called 01/20/24 wanted to know the breakdown of how my payment was applied. They offered an amortization schedule. I told her that was a projected payment schedule. I wanted actual. I asked about what was applied to principal. She told me interest of $7.12. I asked how much went toward insurance on equipment - $22.87. I asked again about principal and she said $202.88. That cannot be correct. If I paid $210.00-interest **** - insurance $22.87, that leaves $180.01 that would be principal. When they send you an invoice/statement for next payment, it does not reflect previous payment being made and a breakdown of how it was applied. If you call and they cannot tell you how your funds were applied, it feels as thought they are applying funds to their advantage and have something to hide, taking more than they should, especially when the customer service rep cannot provide you accurate information. She appeared clueless and she had to put me on hold before she could give me an amount. She had my account pulled up, she should have been able to see it. Also, when you look at their website and at payments made you just see you made a $210.00 payment. You cannot see your payment breakdown online either.

      Thank you for bringing this matter to our attention and for the opportunity to respond. Please note that the agreement with ************** contemplates a transaction for agricultural purposes, and not for consumer purposes.

      While DLL Finance LLC ("DLL") acknowledges any inconvenience ************** has experienced, it does not believe it has acted inappropriately or in contravention of any law.

      Regarding **************** account, it is important to note that the account is a precomputed interest contract, and not a simple interest contract.  As such, payments made are applied as detailed on **************** original amortization schedule.  The specific amounts included in each monthly payment are indicated in detail on the original contract. More specifically,when ************** makes payments in excess of the required monthly amount, the excess amounts are applied as future payments in accordance with the original amortization schedule.  As additional clarification, in the event that ************** pays the account in full prior to the contractual termination date, she will be credited or refunded any unearned interest.

      In establishing its payment application methodology, DLL follows any relevant state law requirements, and in ****************** case, ********* law does not require that DLL adopt any specific payment application methodologies. However, DLL strives to be a valuable partner and resource to its customers.  As such, DLL has staff continuing to make improvements to the customer payment portal and addressing various concerns and has staff dedicated to responding to customer inquiries and phone calls, including related to payment matters.  

      If you have any questions or wish to discuss further, please feel free to contact us.

      I am rejecting this response because:
      If their customer service people cannot tell how funds were applied, it needs to be broken down on the statement. I was told false information, which I put in my complaint.

      also,  this is not for agriculture purposes this is for personal use. And was purchased as such. 

      I have notified the place I bought it and shared what a bad experience DLL is providing and how negative their reviews have been. That if they are who they use to finance if I were to purchase something else, I would not be buying. 

      please send me an amortization schedule, if that is the best you can do.

      We appreciate you bringing this matter to our attention and giving us the opportunity to respond. 

      Turning to the merits of the complaint, **************** has indicated that he is unsure how DLL Finance LLC (DLL) obtained his personal information.  Upon investigation, DLL has confirmed that **************** has had an account with DLL since 2017. The Retail Instalment Contract and Security Agreement was entered into between ***************************** and ******************** LLC and subsequently assigned to DLL.  The account has been on automatic ACH payment since September of 2017 and a voided check and other personal information, including Mr. ******* drivers license, was provided to DLL at that time. A copy of Mr. ******* contract and other account information will be mailed directly to **************** for his reference.  If **************** still has concerns regarding this account, we ask that he contact us immediately.

      If you have any questions or wish to discuss further, please feel free to contact us.

      I financed a tractor, loader, and a dump trailer through DLL Finance. The loan was paid off on 8/21/23, Agreement # ***************. Initially, I was told the title would be sent out between 2-4 weeks. I called on the 4 th week and was told it would be 4-6 weeks. On the 6th week, 10/4/23, an email would be sent to the title department and would receive a call back on 10/5/23. After no answer on 10/5/23, I called to speak with a manager. I was told a message was sent to a manager and they would call on 10/6/23. Still no answer and no title for the trailer.I also filed a complaint with them internally.I need this title overnighted because the trailer has been sold on 8/21/23. This is holding up the sale of the trailer and Im concerned the buyer will walk away.

      We appreciate you raising this issue to our attention and the opportunity to respond.  Please note that the contract contemplates a transaction for agricultural purposes, and not for consumer purposes.

      While DLL Finance LLC (DLL) is sympathetic to **************** situation, DLL believes it has acted appropriately regarding the Retail Instalment Contract and Security Agreement entered into between ********************* and National Truck & Equipment, which was subsequently assigned to DLL (the Agreement). 

      Turning to the merits of the complaint, ************** has requested that DLL provide him with the title to his trailer financed under the Agreement.  Upon investigation, DLL confirmed that ************* never applied for or provided DLL with a title and DLL has never had possession of a title nor the Manufacturers Statement of Origin (MSO) for the equipment subject to the Agreement.  DLL confirmed with the **** ********** of ***** Vehicles that the trailer has never been titled or registered in the *************. In order to assist ************** with obtaining a title, DLL provided ************** with a No Interest Letter on or about October 6, 2023. DLL is happy to provide any additional documentation needed to assist ************** in obtaining a title to the trailer.

      If you have any questions or wish to discuss further, please feel free to contact us.
