      I purchased a Harley-Davidson motorcycle in 2019, I have been making payments for almost 5 years, I only have two payments left, all this time I have been paying online, they changed it so you cannot pay online anymore, there is no way to make my final two payments since I don't know my account number since I do not receive papers statements, I do have a mailing address to mail payments to, but how do I know it's going to get credited to my account since I cannot write my account number on my check.. they do not answer the phone, I have tried many times, being on hold for 30 minutes and they never answer the phone

      This complaint is for payment disputes with Harley-Davidson Financial Services and not HDMC.

       

      Can we have this transferred over?

      I am rejecting this response because: I tried to fix this over and over and Im getting new people everyday calling me dayjng Im three months behind and on top of that I watch a rep just throw over hundred dollars late fees right after I made a payment then called me and said you are still three months behind 
      This payment dont show on my account and it was paid just like the two western union payments last year and I had to call them to get the statement. I dont want to wait till thirty days because they just told me Anson Monday I was over thirty days late and I paid over 4000 to this account this year and wasnt behind! I have a recording back in January and March with a supervisor and then calls was recorded just like mines. I have to get this solve there are two many things going on with my account. Saturday a supervisor said it to they do t see how my account was behind at all. When you guys offer an extension they add that on right away and my bike sat more than it is on the website then what they tell you over the phone! I keep screen shots with payments ale en online! The lady told me online payments dont be caught up but the dates shows the dates on them and I still get late fees 
      Sincerely,

      I have been struggling financially, and Ive had to make a few payments late to this company even though I called and attempted to get extensions, they refused to provide any kind of assistance whatsoever but continued to call me for payments, even though my bankruptcy clearly states they are not supposed to Call and ask for payments. Even though its been a nightmare of a struggle I continue to honor my loan with them since its such a low payoff left. Recently in May I received a call from a ********* who is a supervisor with this company asking for a payment we could not seem to Agree and I could not really understand her so I called in and spoke to a different supervisor name ********, who said she would review the phone call with *********. We also made an arrangement and agreement that if I scheduled a payment, she would move the month of **** payment to the back of the loan, and I would not have another payment due until June. I question this because this is something that has been refused to me on three or four separate months from *********. She clearly stated that she was a supervisor and had the authority to do this. I once again asked if she was sure if she said she had the authority to extend maze payment to the end of the loan I agreed, and the payment was made with money. I really did not have to spend and about a week later I get a letter in the mail from Harley Davidson Financial Services **** stating they could not extend maze payment. It was now due and I would have a late fee on top of Junes payment being due. Now I called in and requested a manager get involved and review the conversation between me and ******** so they could hear her being matter-of-fact about **** extension. Several times during conversations with *********. She stated I could bring the bike back and turn it in. that is not an option and this is what I told them. It seems to me like they are really trying hard to get this bike from me, I have not heard back from anyone

      Harley Davidson Financial Services refuses to expedite the lien release on an account that I have satisfied, in full. Their claim is they are not willing to do anything other than what they deem as "policy" In a world of expeditious electronic communications; there is no reason they cannot provide the lien release in a timely manner.Note that they have acknowledged the account is 100% satisfied so there is no question as to the stratus other than a lack of proper business transactional conduct.HD Financial charges fees for everything they do including electronic payment processing fees; they engage in practices that not equal or fair and should be held accountable as such.

      On 4/3/2024 Harley Davidson Financial Services performed a hard inquiry on my credit. Experian, TransUnion and Equifax without my written or verbal authorization. Upon opening an investigation with The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau,Harley-Davidson immediately removed the inquiry from Experian,however the inquiries remain on TransUnion and Equifax. Harley Davidson refuses to delete those in addition to Experian.
