To Whom It May Concern:
We were unable to respond online as we could not get the link included in the initial letter to load, Please review our response to this complaint below.
Terms and conditions of our accounts are provided in the "All...

About Your Account" disclosure that is provide at account opening. In this disclosure it does reference "your ability to withdraw
funds" which outlines any type of hold that may be placed on a deposit. Generally, ATM deposits have next day availability, in this instance the decision was made to extend the hold which the bank has digression to do so as stated in our disclosures. The hold was not extended due to the fact that the delivery of the ATM deposits was delayed. I have reached out to the branch that: accepts
deposits from our delivery service to inquire about the delay in delivery to obtain an explanation for that. It is our goal to provide exceptional customer service and we will look into the customer
stating she received conflicting information about the delivery of the deposits. In conversations with the customer, the customer did inform us that a stop payment had been placed on the check so the hold was not removed until we received the chargeback item. The customer's account was then closed on October 19th. An offer to provide the name, address, and phone # to our legal department
was made during phone conversations with the customer% All legal matters regarding complaints are generally resolved in house first before seeking outside counsel. We fully comply with legal
obligations providing our customers both at the time of account opening and posted on our ATM that funds may be delayed. It is our goal to assist customers in understanding our terms and conditions and resolve any outstanding issues,

On July 6th, the operations advisor Med the GAP Insurance claim on behalf of the [redacted]'s. The claim for GAP Insurance cannot be filed until the proceeds from the Insurance claim have been. received and processed.
On July 14, 2017, which is the due date for the payment on the loan, the [redacted]'s elected to pay off the loan in the amount of $413.53. This would be the customer responsibility.
On 08/04/2017, the customer visited Q1_11 branch on Johnson Road in LaPorte, and told the

Initial Consumer Rebuttal /* (3000, 11, 2017/09/06) */
(The consumer indicated he/she DID NOT accept the response from the business.)
The bank references that they completed the gap insurance process "on behalf" of the Bancsis on July 6th. 1) No one asked Horizon to do that and in fact [redacted] had already contacted the gap insurance June 19th in order to understand what would be necessary for the process to be completed by the Bancsis. 2) No one at Horizon informed the Bancsis that this was completed, which was July 6th, prior to the due date of the next payment for that Jeep 3) It is stated that the Bancsis elected to pay the payment owed by them on the 7/14th deadline - that is the due date, otherwise not paying would have affected potentially the [redacted]'s credit for late payment - no one informed us that the gap insurance had been accessed and that they would wait for that payment instead; 4) instead we were forced to collect money from another account from Horizon (Heloc) in order to pay for this payment;
The check was dated from Zurich insurance 8/7/2017; the envelope that enclosed the check sent to us is 8/28/2017; even further delaying this process while Horizon gains interest from the money used from the Heloc;
we have not accepted this check as full owed payment from Horizon - Again the difference from what was paid at the last payment of 413.53 and the gap insurance payment of 386.06, plus interest on the 413.53 in the Heloc from the date of 7/14/2017 is expected;
I would suggest that a company that has multiple loans from our personal and business would be more than willing to accept responsibility for choosing to do something "on our behalf" without our knowledge and then gained financially for that mistake would take care of this situation appropriately.
We continue to expect restitution for these other issues and again with an expectation for the time and effort in processing this situation.
Finally, the reference to their timeline and their mention of another loan is irrelevant to explain why the representative of the bank delayed the process of payment by giving the wrong information for the loan pay off, which delayed the gap insurance in paying Horizon, forcing us to pay the payment to avoid penalty, and causing us excess money owed to Horizon.

Upon receipt of the complaint, customer was contacted that same day to discuss the issue in the complaint.
Customer & her son had recently purchased an automobile from a private party. When the loan was completed by a branch advisor at the...

LaGrange Office, the title received did not show as "salvaged". Upon trying to plate the automobile, customer found that the title was branded by the BMV and therefore unable to be plated. It was explained to the customer that this was not done by the bank and that the seller of the vehicle is the one who would be able to provide the information on the reason for the branding of the title. Customer thought the bank did this and was appreciative of the explanation. She further provided details of a complaint with branch personal and was informed this would be shared directly with branch advisors supervisor for follow up.
The name and direct telephone number was provided of a Horizon advisor should she have further questions or if the BMV needed additional information to assist with the plating of the vehicle. Horizon Bank considers this dispute resolved.
