Complaint #1680915 submitted on 12/03/2015 relating to Continental Finance Company, LLC. Complaint relates to Debt collection Credit card - Taking/threatening an illegal action Threatened arrest/jail if do not pay.
Complaint was submitted via Web and sent to the company on Thursday 3rd December 2015.
I had a credit card with Matrix who sold to Continental Finance. The limit was {$400.00}. They began charging a fee each month and all was fine with my payments until I was XXXX and had to go through XXXX. I got behind and filed my creditors with XXXX XXXX XXXX, this credit would " not '' work with them and continued to charge me {$35.00} a month for late fees so now I owe like {$800.00}. I finally worked out an arrangement with them to take a payment each month to try and resolve this debt and they took XXXX or XXXX payments from my account. I planned on {$45.00} begin taken from my account on the XXXX or XXXX payment but they attempted to charge me {$70.00} and I did not have enough money in my account to cover so the payment was returned. When I called them they said I agreed to pay {$70.00} after the XXXX or XXXX payment, I do n't remember and I said I ca n't afford that, and asked for them to take less but they said no. Now they are saying that I wrote a bad check ( and I did n't ) and then they said I gave them fraudulent bank account information ( but I did not ) I called to speak with XXXX telling him that I was having problems and considering filing a Chapter XXXX and in the middle of this conversation a man got on the phone, said he was the manager and begin yelling at me and when I would n't bow down to him, he hung up. I continue to receive phone calls from XXXX, XXXX and now a recorded message from XXXX XXXX and they continue to say that I wrote a bad check of provided bad payment information and that this is illegal across state lines. The only thing that I am guilty of is not having enough money in my account to pay what they require I pay and for not being able to include them in a CCC plan payment.
