To summarize, the Complainant states that on August 15, 2024, their vehicle was repossessed and claims breach of peace occurred. They claim the tow company verbally abused them and their daughter as well as almost smashed their daughter’s arm in the door. They claim multiple laws were broken and their car was stolen. In addition, they state that after 24 hours they have no information on where their car is and request lost wages.
TitleMax is a licensed lender through the Tennessee Department of Financial Institutions under the Tennessee Flexible Credit Act and operates according to all applicable state and federal laws.
A review of TitleMax records reveals that on April 12, 2024, the Complainant obtained a Line of Credit with a credit limit of $2,800.00 at a storefront in Morristown, TN, with an initial advance totaling $800.00 that same day. The Complainant granted a security interest in a 2007 Nissan Xterra with a VIN ending in ******.

By signing the loan agreement, they acknowledged their understanding of the terms and conditions of the loan.

I contacted their offices on July 30th to inquire on the remaining balance they would be garnishing my paycheck for. The woman told me $73 was my balance and it would come out the following pay check. The following check they deducted $155 from my check that week. I was told that is normal with garnishments and the overage is reimbursed. Then this week they deducted 165 again. I called their office again and was told that "speedy cash isn't **** ********" that's incorrect, and then was told I would be placed on hold, and was then hung up on. I called back and was told she would transfer me and she, again, hung up me.This happened 3 times.Business Response

Thank you for the opportunity to respond to the complaint filed by ***** ******* (Complainant). Galt Ventures, LLC DBA Speedy Cash, a member of Community Choice Financial® family of brands, appreciates the role of the Better Business Bureau in resolving consumer concerns. We are happy to provide this response.
To summarize, the Complainant states their paycheck was garnished for an amount higher than the balance owed, another garnishment was processed, and they are expecting the overage to be reimbursed. The Complainant states when they called Speedy Cash, the call was disconnected instead of being placed on hold or transferred. They would like a refund and no further contact from Speedy Cash.
A review of Speedy Cash’s records reveals that on August 27, 2016, the Complainant obtained a Line of Credit with a credit limit of $485.00 online, with an initial advance of $485.00. The first payment of $24.05 was due on September 16, 2016, and a second payment of $76.66 was due on September 30, 2016. The account entered a past due status after payment was not made on November 11, 2016. The account was assigned to a third-party collector, ** *****, on March 7, 2017, after nonpayment and unsuccessful contact attempts by Speedy Cash. After continued nonpayment, the account was recalled from ** ***** and as of January 30, 2019, was with ***** *** *******, reachable at ###-###-####.
At the time of loan origination, the Complainant signed a Speedy Cash Open-End Credit Agreement and Disclosure Statement that clearly discloses clearly discloses the annual percentage rate in accordance with the Federal Truth-in-Lending Act and Regulation Z. Additionally, the Complainant also signed an Optional Loan Payment Authorization and Optional Payment Card Authorization that authorizes and instructs Speedy Cash to initiate an ACH or debit card payments on the loan due dates, or in the event of default, to collect the outstanding loan balance. We submit there was no unauthorized payment taken from the Complainant’s account.
A review of the payment history shows the Complainant has made 13 payments in the total amount of $1,191.55 toward the outstanding balance and post judgement interest. As of the date of this response, the Complainant’s account currently has zero balance. As Speedy Cash believes that the conditions of the loan were clearly disclosed and finds no discrepancy or concern in how the transaction was processed, no refund will be given at this time.
Regarding the call disconnection, we do apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused. Speedy Cash endeavors to assist our customers with all their concerns and provide the best service possible. In addition, Speedy Cash is committed to treating its valued customers in a fair, honest, and transparent manner.

To summarize, the Complainant states that on May 3, 2024, they borrowed $588.00 from CheckSmart to be repaid on June ******, in the amount of $588.00. They state their card was stolen in May and when they spoke to an employee to inform them of the issue, the employee advised that if the payment were not made by June 4, 2024, they would submit a paper check to the ****************** On June 5, 2024, when attempting to repay, the Complainant claims the employee refused their payment. They want to work with corporate directly to establish a payment plan.
A review of Checksmart records reveals that on May 3, 2024, the Complainant obtained a Deferred Deposit loan at a storefront in *********, **, in the principal amount financed of $500.00. The loan was contracted to be repaid in one payment of $588.50, due June 3, 2024.
At the time of loan origination, the Complainant signed a Deferred Deposit, Early Deposit Clause & Disclosure Agreement that clearly disclosed the annual percentage rate, finance charge, amount financed, total of payments and the repayment schedule in accordance with the Federal Truth in Lending Act and Regulation Z.In addition, as stated in the agreement, DEFERRED DEPOSIT: Simultaneously with the execution of this agreement: (A) you have delivered to us at our address set forth above your check no. 9003 in the amount of $588.50 (the check); (B) we have given you currency in the amount of $500.00; and (C) we have agreed to hold the check until the Maturity Date set forth above before depositing it. In consideration for the transaction, you agree to pay us a fee of $88.50 at the time that this Agreement is executed.

On June 3, 2024,after the card on file for repayment was declined, the check was deposited as allowed by their signed Deferred Deposit, Early Deposit Clause & Disclosure Agreement.
The Complainant was advised that because Checksmart does not hold checks, if they did not pay the loan by 2pm the day after the due date, their deferred check would be deposited. When the Complainant came in on June 5, 2024, their repayment was already processing.
That transaction was returned on June 11, 2024, and a Returned Fee of $2.00 was assessed to the account, which made the total balance owed now $590.50. The account entered a past due status and collections activities commenced as permitted by law. Payment history indicates there have been no payments made on the loan.
Checksmart believes that the conditions of the loan were clearly disclosed and finds no discrepancy or concern in how the transaction was processed. In response to the Complainants request for repayment options, Checksmart strives for excellent customer service and remains willing to work with the Complainant to assist them in paying back their loan.

RE: BBB Complaint ID ********
BBB Dispute Resolution Team:
Thank you for the opportunity to respond to the complaint filed by ***************************;(Complainant).TMX Finance of Tennessee, ***** DBA TitleMax, a member of Community Choice Financial family of brands, appreciates the role of the Better Business Bureau in resolving consumer concerns. We are happy to provide this response.
To summarize, the Complainant states that they received a check of $4,080.47 for the sale of their vehicle but claims they are still owed $4,335.21 and requests it be sent to the provided address. In addition, the Complainant states they have spoken with an employee on multiple occasions that was rude and disrespectful.
A review of TitleMax records reveals that on July 5, 2023, the Complainant obtained a Line of Credit with a credit limit of $4,000 at a storefront in *********, **,with an initial advance of $4,000.00. The Complainant granted a security interest in a 2019 ************* CLA with a VIN ending in ******. The first payment of $708.72 was due on August 19, 2023, and the second payment was due on September 19, 2023, in the amount of $760.61. The account entered a past due status after payment was not made on October 19, 2023.On the same day of July 5, 2023, the Complainant also obtained a TN Title Pledge utilizing the same vehicle with an initial amount financed of $2,500.00 and was contracted to be repaid in one (1) payment of $2,874.75, due August 4, 2023. The account entered a past due status on October 3, 2023.
The vehicle was repossessed on June ******, due to non-payment, and the account was assessed a $405.26 Repossession Fee. The Complainant was mailed a Notice to Sell the same day.
On June *******, the vehicle was sold at auction in the amount of $14,400, and the Complainant was mailed a Notice of Surplus and Deficiency.
Our records show that on July 9, 2024, an overage check was issued in the amount of $4,080.47. The Complainant picked up the overage check on July *******. However, it appears there was a discrepancy in the surplus letter.Therefore, a refund check for the repossession fee in the amount of $405.26 has been issued and mailed to the Complainants address via **** Tracking Number 70221670000106768201.
In response to their concerns regarding customer service, we appreciate the Complainants feedback. TitleMax endeavors to assist our customers with all of their concerns and provide the best service possible. We sincerely apologize for the poor customer service and any frustration they may have experienced. We have forwarded their concern to management to investigate and act accordingly.
We hope that we have fully addressed the complaint. Should the Complainant or Better Business Bureau require further explanation, we may be reached at ****************************.

I am rejecting this response because: my 2019 ************* sold for over ****** and my total loan was *****. Where is my check for my amount due after sale? I am owed more than what your sending now and that $4080.47 check? I read the letter and overage from sale comes back to me as it should. Once you get the amount of loan I borrowed back. I am still due $4, 335. You have no justification to get more money than I borrowed. These are hard times and you are stealing from me! That vehicle sold well over $6000 ! Just like the check was in the wrong amount due to me , $400 and something dollars is still incorrect! I need a break down of why you think you should sell my car and keep all my money after you received what I borrowed? You got your money due. Mistakes happen, please correct this one and review the letter I received about what you get from sell and that anything over it would be mailed out to me. I have all my documents and I ve spoken with several of Title Max employees and I dont want to go to court . *******, was horrible at customer service and I ask that you please correct this so we both can move on. $4,080. Is not justified in a sale over ******. When you only allow up to $6000 for a loan. They made a mistake I ask that you correct and make right this refund due to me.

TitleMax of ************ DBA TitleMax, a member of Community Choice Financial family of brands, appreciates the role of the Better Business Bureau in resolving consumer concerns. We are happy to provide this response.
To summarize, the Complainant states that they are receiving calls informing them that they are late on their payment. They explained that they were out of town due to unforeseen circumstances and asked for options as they were having trouble paying online. The Complainant was told that there were no other payment options available and that they needed to be physically present to sign the necessary documents. They were also informed that the vehicle was at risk of repossession. The Complainant simply wants to stop receiving collection calls,notices, and billing adjustments, as well as prevent repossession.
A review of TitleMax records reveals that on May 18, 2024, the Complainant obtained a Title Loan in the principal amount financed of $833.00 at a storefront in ************, **. The Complainant granted a security interest in a 2002 Chevrolet Suburban with a VIN ending in ******. The loan was contracted to be repaid in full in the amount of $1,016.08 on June 16, 2027.
Payment history indicates there have been no payments made on the loan. When the payment was not made on June 17, 2024,the account entered a past due status. As of the date of this response, the Complainant currently has a past due balance of $1,016.08 with a total payoff amount of $1,075.39 but is subject to change due to interest and/or fees that *** be accruing.
We have made multiple efforts to get in touch with the Complainant by phone with the intention of discussing potential solutions or options to address their concern. We advise the Complainant to reach out to our dedicated customer service department at ************* at their earliest convenience.

We are happy to provide this response.
To summarize, the Complainant states that they borrowed $3,500, and their payments have continued to increase. They request their title back and to be done.
A review of TitleMax records reveals that on December 15, 2022, the Complainant obtained a Secured Line of Credit with a credit limit of $2,900.69 at a storefront in *********, **, with an initial advance of $600.00. The Complainant granted a security interest in a 2009 Saturn Aura with a VIN ending in ******. The first payment of $70.52 was due on January 20, 2023, and a second payment of $101.98 was due on February 20, 2023. It is important to note that all but one of the payments were made past the due date. The Complainant obtained additional funds a total of 35 times, totaling the amount of $4,942.22.
At the time of loan origination, the Complainant signed a Secured Line of Credit Motor Vehicle Pledge and Security Agreement that clearly discloses clearly discloses the annual percentage rate in accordance with the Federal Truth-in-Lending Act and **************** signing this agreement, the Complainant acknowledged their understanding of the terms and conditions of the loan.
Payment history indicates that the Complainant has made 17 payments in the total amount of $6,859.96 toward the outstanding balance. When the payment was not made on June 20, 2024, the account entered a past due status and collection activities commenced as permitted by law. As of the date of this response, the Complainants account currently has a past due balance of $4,641.52 but is subject to change due to interest and/or fees that may be accruing. In response to their concern about their balance not changing, the Complainant elected to obtain additional funds on multiple occasions, increasing their balance and interest.
As TitleMax believes that the conditions of the loan were clearly disclosed and finds no discrepancy or concern in how the transaction was processed, the title will not be given back at this time. TitleMax strives for excellent customer service and remains willing to work with the Complainant to assist them in paying back their loan.

I am rejecting this response because: I'm going to contact them again by the email they gave ...but one of the reasons I'm rejecting is I've got 15 advanced not 35. I can send a printout. And I was approved for 2800 or 2900 can't remember. I got 1200 first then paid it down came back to store and got 600. I then made advanced to 2800 or 2900. They approved 700 more. That's all I've got. My payments have never been 70 or 100 on this. Always over 200 for a little while then jumped to 400- 500 now 600. I paid off a smaller loan I had that was 70 -100. Something has been added to this loan. Something isn't right. I've paid the money I owe and a extra 3300 in finances.....I only got 3500 .I've paid ,3 off already so I'm not trying to get out of paying.....but something's wrong!!!

Subject: Illegal actions by title max...(Community choice financial, inc.)
To: ******************************************* <*******************************************>
My name is ****** *******. I have contacted yal last year about this situation and thought they were gonna make it right while I was in contact with yal. So I didnt stay in contact with you long enough to make sure! Title max in ***************** is where I had the loan. First of all I want you to know they have been in trouble for over charging people, putting late charges on top of ****** and monthly late charges to hide them and interest the same way. They have all been fined 2 times millions of dollars for this wrong doing. I didn't know this until I already had loan there. And when I got my loan it was called only title max now it's community choice financial, inc. probably to change names for wrong doings. I just need someone to really really look into this. And I can send proof of everything I've paid or whatever you need.
Saying all that, after I lost contact with you last year they said call them to work something out. That's a lie. The 2 months I got behind while I was in contact with you, they demanded 1200 right then. 600 a month. They gave me 2 weeks. And instead of balance going down it went up. I paid it or they were gonna repo my car. ...so I made payments again but balance went up and I'm making 600 dollar payments.
I'm not trying to not pay because I have paid them what I got from them and double and they say still I owe more than what I got.
I got 4,200
They say 4,600
Paid for 2 years
I have already paid 8,900
They say I still owe 4600
What??!!!!
This can't be legal.
They came and repowed my car this week because I'm not paying no more money.
I want my car back and money they over charged me.
I'm not letting this go this time. For the principle of it!!!!!
I have been late , they try and use that, but still there is a cut off on charges or they have to choose which way , they can't do ******, monthly, and ever which way. That's not legal.
Please look at this, it's not right or legal.
Thank you so much......
