Consumer Narrative
In XXXX, XXXX I had my accountant try to create an amortization schedule to match the loan monthly payments on an RV that I purchased. He was unable to so I called the bank. The first call was XX/XX/XXXX. The bank refused to discuss the loan and said I had to go to the dealer that sold me the vehicle. Between XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX, I made 6 calls to the dealer and three to the bank none were ever returned. Two additional calls that made where I manage to speak to someone at the bank customer service yielded no amortization schedule or any additional information. On XXXX XXXX XXXX I made my first payment and the ENTIRE amount was applied to interest. It turned out that the loan ( not known to me ) was a simple interest loan. I found this out In my conversation with the bank on XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX ( the customer service manager ) told me that the first payment was 45 days long. They did that so ( as he said ) I had time and money to register the vehicle. I did not ask for that time and the result was that I was charged an additional {$750.00}. in interest. Then in XXXX I paid extra money against the principal. The payment was made XXXX.The bank did not apply the principle to the loan until AFTER they calculated the interest for XXXX. That means I was charged interest on a the {$400.00} I paid towards principal. XXXX admitted that " yes the bank makes more interest this way but that is what we are business for ''. Now that the loan is fully in effect BMO Harris Bank is willing to send me an amortization schedule, XXXX said he would even wave the {$10.00} fee ( yeah ) .He further told me that I should have looked at the truth and lending statement. I said who would sit down and try to calculate the interest on a 20 year to make sure it agrees with the tota shown on the truth and lending report. I believe that the 45 day period on the first payment is to cover the money XXXXXXXX XXXX ( the seller of the vehicle ) gets form the bank.
