In april of last year I lost my card ended in 1981 and attempted to contact you all to get this resolved. I was told i would be receiving a replacement card so i can continue to pay my bill at the 6.5 interest rate. On and off over the past year i have attempted to get this resolved and have not had any benefit from it what so ever. Due to the missing card my balance added up. My sign on interest rate was gone and multiple impacts on my credit report.
I would like the following resolutions.
-My interest rate to be restored to the original term of 6.5%
-All interest occurred from time of change to now prorated back and refunded
-and my credit report updated and all delinquent filings removed.
This is all been an issue caused by you all and i will not settle for being bullied.Business Response

In October of 2022 I fell into an extreme financial hardship. I went 4 months without any type of income. I contacted customer service to see about changing the due date for my auto loan. I also looked into a possible deferment. I was advised that there were no options to assist me. In 4 months, I still had barely enough money to live on. This month February 2023 I am get back on track Financially and trying to get caught up on my auto loan payments. The issue I have is that I am being denied to opportunity to make my payments. I have tried online, I no access. I have tried paying cash in the branch several times to be told that the payment can't be processed. I feel like Hughes would rather try to repose my vehicle than accept the money that I owe by blocking me from making any type of payment. All I am asking is that I be allowed to pay the back money I owe so I can get my account back on track.Business Response

I originally contacted hughes for a deferral on both my auto loans on August 18th. I ended up having to call again on Aug 25th due to them “ not receiving” the paperwork even though I got email confirmation. *********** contacted me on October 29th telling me my car is several months late. I called her immediately, and she informed me that there was an error on their side and only did the paper work for 1 of the 2 loans. She proceeded to resend me the paper work to get this corrected and will have her supervisor to follow up with me to make sure this is corrected and remove the derogatory marks off my credit report that were due to their error. I kept her on the recorded line and she confirmed for me that she received everything needed. She then contacted me on December 3rd with the same message and sending physical collection agents to my home. She told me the same thing that there was an error on their side not realizing we already spoke and she didn’t process anything from our first conversation. She once again said her supervisor would contacted me and I never heard back. The issue is still not resolved as well.Business Response

My problem is I have now been trying to pay my loan off for 3 months. The first time we called in for the final payoff they told us to pay $30,000, So we did. A couple weeks later I called in and asked Hughes what my title status is and when can I expect it. They then mentioned that I still owed $3000 for the loan. I said this seems like a scam because your account rep said it was only $30,000 for the final payoff money transfer. After researching the amount we paid the final amount. A few more weeks go by and I asked again… where is my title. They then informed me that since I didn’t provide a updated proof of full coverage insurance they are charging me for their insurance of $165… We have sent them proof of our full coverage insurance a couple weeks ago and still cannot get my title from them… I refuse to pay for their stuff they force on my and they are in possession of a $50,000 title that belongs to me… I want a refund and compensation for my time and trouble waiting.Business Response

I accepted a loan in August 2018 for a 2015 Masarati. The finance amount was $34000. On September 2022 , I saw my balance and it is the same amount . Hughes has illegally not credited any of my payments originally paid for the Masarati , added additional charges and other loans which has dissmissed all previous payments and equity established with my Masarati. This is theft and issue must be resolved .Business Response
