Vehicle loan Problems when you are unable to pay Illinois

I had a car loan through PNC and after being talked into making them my primary bank, opened an account with them. On two separate occasions, several months apart, they initiated payments from that account as I was behind on my payment ; but the funds were not available on either occasion and they generated overdraft fees. I choose to no longer keep funds in the account and switched my direct deposit back to -. The account was a requirement for payments on my car loan so I maintained, but they started charging monthly charges which I was not going to pay. Rather than reverting the account to the free account I had initially requested, they charged off the account. While all this was going on I entered my final semester in college and had trouble obtaining my financial aide and was again behind on my payments. They contacted me when I was 2-3 months behind on my payments ; I attempted to inform them that I would make a partial ( half-month ) payment, followed by a repeat of the same in 2 weeks, and a full payment on the next due date to reduce my delinquency.

I called the local branches on multiple occasions, was connected to non-local branches on multiple occasions, went into the local branch, called the auto loan branch and there was no one willing to accept my payments, nor to simply reopen the checking account to let me then post my payment. Just short of two months later the car loan was closed in a defaulted standing. When approached by the auto loan/reclaim department of PNC, I was offered a repayment offer that would give me a lower monthly installment ( & lt ; $ -/month ), which was not much of a shift from the original setup ( $ -/month ... I always made payments of $ -/month ). The intent was to " reboot '' my loan, while not removing any of the default reportings on my credit. So go back to the status quo, but have a far less chance of refinancing with another loaner to get away from those that I now had sour business dealings with. I opted to make no payments and not divulge the location of my vehicle and now 2 years later ( with no payments! ). I approached the bank with a settlement option, $3600.00 on the $ -+ that was the remaining balance, no interest would be accepted on my part as I did not feel it was fair or in my best interest to include them in the base evaluation. My account has now been reported as paid in full on my credit report.
