Consumer Narrative

I bought a new car from XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, NY on XX/XX/XXXX. Financing for the loan on the vehicle was set up through TD Auto Finance. Payments were set at {$420.00} per month on the 10th of each month for a total of 75 payments that concluded on XX/XX/XXXX. I signed up for paperless billing and auto deduct from our bank account for payments. Contact was to be through my email account. Payments were started on XX/XX/XXXX. Payments were continued until XX/XX/XXXX where 2 payments were made. No payment was taken on XX/XX/XXXX. The next payment was taken on XX/XX/XXXX. Then no payment was taken on XX/XX/XXXX. As of XX/XX/XXXX a late fee of {$21.00} was charged to my account as we were now in arrears by 1 payment. I was unaware that we were now in arrears. Moving forward from that date our payment was taken out on the XXXX of each month except on a Sunday where it was taken out on the 9th. However with our account in arrears by 1 payment, we were charged an amount of {$21.00} each month. In early XX/XX/XXXX i logged onto my account, as the contract was concluding in XX/XX/XXXX, to find that whilst i had paid every payment except that payment on XX/XX/XXXX, i had been charged {$21.00} each month for the lack of that 1 payment. This had now accumulated to an amount of {$1300.00}. At no point in the 5 years and 2 months that my account had been in arrears had TD Auto finance contacted me to point out that i had an outstanding amount on my account and to ask how i was going to fix it either by email or regular mail. I have credit cards, have had personal loans and other financing options. If i have ever been behind the company has promptly contacted me to advise that an amount was outstanding and how i was to correct the imbalance. After discussing the issue with my wife we paid the outstanding fines which had now grown to {$1300.00} and the outstanding payment of {$420.00} on XX/XX/XXXX. I feel that TD Auto Finance intentionally did not contact me to allow the penalty to continue growing over the 5 years. If they had contacted me i would have paid of the outstanding amount. I fail to understand how it is ethical for a finance company to allow this to happen. If i did not make a credit card payment for 5 years i am sure i would have heard something much sooner. Furthermore on XX/XX/XXXX we paid the final three payments of {$1200.00}, for XXXX, XXXX and XXXX of XXXX. On XX/XX/XXXX we received a paper statement with an outstanding balance of {$89.00}. When i called on XX/XX/XXXX i was not able to get any reason of why this amount was due, even though i had paid all 75 payments of {$420.00} and paid all of the {$1300.00} in penalties. After speaking with a supervisor this amount was waived.
