Towny Chat Issue

Hi my name is Sam and I'm currently developing a network that consists of a towny server. I have been trying for the past two hours to fix this, I would like to use essentials chat with Towny. But it doesnt even use essentials chat when I talk, it also repeats my prefix 3 times. Here is an image
I have repeatedly screwed around with both configs of towny chat and towny, here are my config files.
