Complaint #1357961 submitted on 05/03/2015 relating to Mariner Finance, LLC. Complaint relates to Consumer Loan Installment loan - Managing the loan or lease .
Complaint was submitted via Web and sent to the company on Tuesday 5th May 2015.
I received an unsolicited check in the mail from Mariner Finance LLC in the amount of {$1200.00}. The check stated by signing and cashing I would enter into installment loan with them. At the time I was consolidating debt and needed the money and the low monthly payment of XXXX enticed me. I deposited the check and made XXXX payments before deciding to pay in full. I sent several emails through their online portal asking for final balance and never heard back. They called me XXXX time before I paid off the loan, telling me I can have an additional funding, I advised not interested but after this call from my local XXXX XXXX branch, my preference is to receive communication in writing for financial matters pertaining to this loan so I will not call them or discuss over the phone. This is based on the strong urging from the caller to visit them to receive " more money. '' After this call I had a bad feeling about this loan. They have tried calling my desk phone at work but I will not answer since personal calls are not allowed and because I prefer in writing. My total payments were {$76.00} more than I borrowed and the final payment I sent was what appeared on my credit report as total now due ( this entry somehow has now disappeared from my credit report ). After it vanished from my report I figured it was paid in full only to receive another call to my work number this past Friday XX/XX/XXXX. I checked XXXX 's web portal this morning and it shows an open loan with a " maturity '' date of XX/XX/XXXX and my next payment due as {$60.00} with a future date of XX/XX/XXXX. I have not received any billing statements nor have I signed any documents other than the unsolicited check they sent me. I suspect they are withholding the total due and future dating a payment for some interest charges to accrue interest. My loan was open less than XXXX months and by my calculations ( based on future date and total payments ) my total interest paid for a 60 day loan of {$1200.00} would be {$460.00}. I have never received any acknowledgement for the XXXX emails I sent, I do not wish to speak to this company other than in writing and they have never sent me a single statement in the mail. An online search of complaints shows similar experiences with other clients. Attached is supporting documentation showing the payments made from my XXXX XXXX checking account and the deposit of the {$1200.00} check back in XXXX into my XXXX XXXX account. I do not have any other documents since none were ever provided by this business.
I strongly believe they are comitting predatory lending and fraud based on my above experience.
