Vehicle is co owned with myself and ***********************. Starting with 1st payment made that was made way before due date I was harassed for 2 weeks about the payment I made moneygram next day payment 14 days later they did put it back to the date I paid but in the meantime calls MANY times a day. They've ran my credit card and checking account under ***** s name and I have documentation to prove this resulting in denial and extras fees and late payments. I've reach out to them in attempts to get them to work with us. I'm told 1 thing on the phone and they re smart ***,s, rude and unprofessional even in email. Today I sent them a confirmation number and I got a reply they haven't gotten the payment and they're going to repossess the vehicle. I asked if a loan forebearance is possible on a recorded call 2 times I've been advised as a Virginia resident that I could ask for a payment deferred 2x a year or every 6 months I just have to pay a 50 fee. I further explained that ***** had a heart attack and strokes resulting in me having to pay all bills. I get they want their $ and I owe ******* and February payments February came due on the 4th. I try to communicate via email so I have a written record for myself and I get different responses on the phone and via calls along with attitudes and threats. So I can Make a Payment on 2/18 and No I've not been able to keep up with all arrangements I've made so I further understand their reluctantly to work with me. ***** makes no payments on this so he just signed so I'm contacting you and I've also contacted an attorney because as I stated payments I've made next day payment they say that they don't get em so he's informed me to attempt to go this route and if it's repossess and me having proof of payment we will continue with legal action due to evidence we've obtained via emails, phone calls, paymentsCustomer response

I currently have a boat loan through C&F Finance, and C&F Finance Loan Servicing does not allow the option to pay additional principal. When I have made payments above the minimum due, they have set the additional principle amount aside for the next month's payment and waited to apply it to my loan until the next due date (and did not take my automatic payment the next month). My additional principle payment was not applied to the loan until the next month as the minimum payment, which means C&F could invest my money for a month while I pay interest on the principle amount of the loan that should have been paid off. Why isn't my payment applied to the loan when it is received. I am currently paying the same amount of principle each month as I am interest, and would like the option to pay it down faster with principle only payments, and this option should be available online as to how I'd like to apply the payment.Business response

I drove 5 hours one way to buy a truck at **************** in *******, ******* on October 9, 2023. Because it was Columbus Day and all the banks were closed, the only financing available was through C&F Financing Company. I traded in my truck ($13K) and put an additional $5K down. The truck I purchased from **************** was $52K minus the $18K, leaving $41K to be financed (tax, tag, title, etc.). I just received an Adverse Action Notice from C&F Financing Company stating that they were denying my application for Value Or Type Of Collateral Not Sufficient, BUT they can offer you [me] credit on terms different than those proposed. If Value Or Type Of Collateral Not Sufficient, isnt sufficient, what makes it sufficient at different terms? By the way, my credit is stellar even C&F Financing Company cant dispute that. I feel that C&F Financing Company practices predatory loan/bait-n-switch tactics because, at this point, I cant undo the deal. My truck that I traded in is already long gone, and C&F Financing Company and/or **************** knows that. BUYER BEWARE when financing through C&F Financing Company, what you sign is NOT what you get. This is illegal.Business response

On Saturday January 7 2023 I tried making a payment to C&F Finance and the account is blocked from accepting payment from me. The balance on the account at the time was a little under ****. On January 9th I called into C&F Finance to make a payment I spoke with a male explained that I was trying to make a payment but couldnt he stated that the account is blocked for payments because my vehicle is up for repossession. I offered him the payment I was trying to make on Saturday morning he asked when would another payment be made and I told him next month. He stated if I wasnt giving him another predated check by the end of the month he was not accepting any payments.So now this very unprofessional representative of C&F Finance said he was repossessing my car unless I make 2 payments again he refused to accept the payment that was being given to him. I said I would reach out to corporate in response to his refusal to accept my payment. His response was I am corporate then said his supervisor wants to speak with me. He transfers the call to someone else who tried his best to sound intelligent he also said he wanted 2 payments or hes repossessing my car. When I told him no he asked me where was my car parked and to give him the keys. I hung up.Now I know this was no supervisor and dont believe my car was up for repossession what this was was 2 employees that violated the ***** laws. On January 10th 11th 12th and the 13th I received text messages from C&F Finances asking for payments even had the website where I could make a payment. Tuesday January 17th a representative from C&F Finance came to my home and left his card in my door asking me to call the office. The tactics used were harassing and abusive tactics to force me to do something I made very clear I could not do. I will be looking into my legal rights within the *****. There was false, deceptive and misleading statements made by 2 employees of C&F Finance which I will not tolerate, this wasnt the 1st time but it will be the last. I had this same problem in November of 2022. This account would not be 3 months behind had your employee refused to accept a payment.Business response
