      I have a dispute with Sun Loan. I previously had borrowed money from Sun Loan and I paid it off early with no Finance charges. The loan I have attached is the second load I have borrow from SunLoan. At the time I borrowed , the teller told me I could pay it off early and reduce the finance charges, as I did with my previous loan. When I went to pay this loan off early the same teller told me she never said that, and I had to pay the entire balance. The teller also told me Sun Loan doesn't let customers pay off early. On the loan agreement is states I can pay off early and it will reduce the finance charges.

      On July 5,2022, **************** refinanced her loan for $749 at the Sun Loan ************, ** office, which called for a total payback of $107 a month for 7 months. Four payments were received and the payoff balance on the loan was $297 on December 2, 2022, when she made the decision to refinance the loan thereby including the payoff balance of $297 into the new loan. She received $410.73 upfront in cash for the new loan and the precomputed interest charges were $390.27 bringing the total loan balance to $1,098. The refinance loan terms are $122 per month for 9 months. The District Manager discussed the loan closing with the Branch Manager and confirmed that he did follow the Sun Loan Operations procedures.

She appreciated the District Manager for taking the time to explain it in detail to her. If **************** has any questions, she can contact Sun Loan at **************.

      On September 14, 2021, **************** had his 2020 tax return processed at the Sun Loan, *******, ** office. The office processed his 2020 tax return for a total charge of $275.85, which was deducted from his Federal Tax refund.  On March 28, 2022, *************** requested an estimate for his 2021 tax return from the Sun Loan,*******, ** office. **************** did not return to the Sun Loan office with the self- employment documents needed to complete the return. He was not charged for the estimate and the District Manager confirmed that the Sun Loan office did not file his 2021 Federal Tax return. She confirmed that ****************** tax information is secure and nothing illegal has occurred as **************** stated in his complaint. The District Manager reached out to **************** but he stated that he was in the process of getting the issue fixed with the Better Business Bureau and refused to discuss the complaint with her.  He did state that he had not received his 2020 Federal Tax refund because the *** withheld it to pay his back the balance owed on his 2007 Federal Tax return. He refused to discuss the complaint further and hung up.  If **************** has any questions, he can contact Sun Loan at ************.

      On December 21, 2015, ******************** took out a loan for $259 at the Sun Loan ******, ** office, which called for a total payback of $43 a month for 6 months. No payments were received, and the account was written off on May 31, 2016.

      On January 19, 2016, ******************** telephoned the Sun Loan office, and made a promise to make a payment on January 20, 2015, but no payment was received.

      Regarding the request for a copy of the application letter ******************** references in his complaint, we have not received any correspondence from him. On September 19,2020, we received an indirect dispute from *********** disputing the date of first delinquency, account status, compliance condition code, special comment code, and date closed. We reviewed the account information and responded to the dispute on October 6, 2020.

      As far as ******************* not being liable for the debt, we have included a copy of the signed application, loan contract, identification card, personal references, and check stubs he provided when he took out the loan.

      We have reviewed all three credit reports and found that Experian is not reporting any data and Equifax and *********** are both reporting correctly as charged off status. It would be incorrect for us to delete the tradeline as ******************** has requested.

      If ******************** has any questions, he can contact Sun Loan at ************.

      On August 4, 2022 I paid sun loan my payment of 178 they charged me **** for payment over the phone but without my consent they took 20 dollars for supposedly late payment without letting me know, I then gave a payment on August 25, 2022 for another 178 with the **** fee and they took 10 for supposedly another late fee without letting me know. Now they are saying I still owe $30 on late fees. They take money out of the payment without letting the customers know and leave them with a balance so they can charge a late fee. I spoke to ****** the store manager and she would not let me speak and did not give me an explanation. Can you please help.
