illi News/10322429

OAK PARK, Ill. - illiNews -- r. Tracey Bond, an Oak Park resident, confirmed that she is reporting an unauthorized charge and escalating consumer-protection actions following disputed interactions with the North Riverside loan office of Heights Finance.

Bond stated that during a December 22 call with the company, she spoke with representatives identified as Sabrina and Christian and did not provide verbal, written, or recorded authorization for any electronic debit. She further stated that no disclosure was provided regarding a specific debit amount, debit date, or debit frequency.

After an electronic funds transfer was processed using stored card credentials retained by the company, Bond contacted the office again. During a follow-up call on December 31, Bond stated that the same representative reiterated a disputed claim of verbal authorization and engaged in conduct she described as yelling and talking over her while she objected to the characterization of consent. Bond stated that contemporaneous audio documentation of both calls has been preserved.
