answered on May 27, 2020
The (amazing) fact that the dealer lowered the price on the same used car that you were purchasing that same day has nothing to do with your transaction. The written contract you signed was complete when signed.
They called today and said they just realized this. I have been getting notices every month saying the payment was made. But now they tell me I wasn't making it and want me to pay it all back. I'm devastated. I need a new car and will have to make two payments. I have lots of out going... View More

What's your question? In round numbers, somebody paid 36 months of your loan payment, and in 36 months you never realized that the payment wasn't coming out of your account? Yes, you need to pay it back. You never paid it in the first place.

There are not enough facts for any lawyer to answer your question. You will need to tell us WHO the person allegedly doing the referring is (not their name) and what is your interest here?

Since it was reported and new refinance lender found it reported they withdrew closing.
Was I not negatively affected?
Can I pursue?
answered on Apr 10, 2020
Your inquiry is incomprehensible. You seem to be assuming that those viewing your question can read you mind and know what you are current on, what was supposed to have no negative effect, who said that, what you canceled, what was reported to whom, and whom you wish to "pursue".

It is impossible to understand what happened here because you are using terms and phrases that are unclear. Suggest you take all your papers to a lawyer in your area and let them figure it out and possibly help you.

This is called stealing. And if the person who did the stealing is a licensed security salesperson there are several more crimes being committed. You need to START with the company; and you must tell them everything--not just the stuff you do not like.

Not from the bank; why? Because the bank did not cause you to lose any interest. If you want to recover the interest you "lost" you will have to try to get it from the buyer, or the Realtor or the Title company. BTW: The interest earned on the $60,000 during the 5 months will probably... View More

Although this is possible, the lender would probably want both title holders to execute the mortgage, which agrees to the lien being on the property and only one of the owners signs the promissory note associated with the mortgage which is the agreement to pay the money secured by the mortgage lien.
I am currently living in Orlando Florida and I have a car that I owe in Puerto Rico and someone is interesting in buying. I cant travel now because I am not working but I left my sister in law in charge of my stuff by mouth. The bank requires a legal power so I don't have to travel.
answered on Feb 17, 2020
You need, if I understand you correctly, a power of attorney sufficient to enable your sister in law to transfer ownership of the car to a buyer. Contact the Puerto Rican agency responsible for keeping track of vehicle titles (Department of Motor Vehicles, or whatever) and ask if they have an... View More

You have several options--none of which include suing SunTrust Bank for $50.
If SunTrust charges service fees on your accounts consider moving all of them to another bank that does not charge service fees. That switch alone will get your $50 back in no time, plus it will deprive SunTrust... View More

Hello: If you took any money that did not belong to you that is called stealing.
