BMO Harris Consumer Loan Complaint

BMO Harris Consumer Loan department,

Vehicle loan Managing the loan or lease Arizona

I contacted BMO Harris regarding our - auto loans that we have financed with them. Both loans are current accounts & have never been past due. My husband recently was out of work due to - & there was payroll issue with his check. To avoid being late, I contacted BMO Harris to inquire about a deferment/extension since this would be an a short term issue as it was already in process of being rectified. After they reviewed the accounts, while I did qualify for the deferment/extension they would not approve it because it was based on my husband 's income interruption & not mine, but both loans were listed in my name since I usually handle the car shopping for our household. I explained to the representative as well as the supervisor that our household works off a joint income and a delay of $1000.00 was an impact to paying our monthly bills as it would be for many people. They still declined the request again for the only reason being that it was not my direct income being impacted. I feel I was provided a lack of service due to being honest. As a good consumer who pays bills in a timely fashion, I feel this situation should have been looked at with a different level of scrutiny vs. to the letter of their policies. Working in the same industry, I understanding having policies, regulations, and guidelines, as well as when there is room to service the consumer with flexibility within those same practices.
