Product: Vehicle loan or lease

I have a vehicle loan with First Investors Servicing Corporation ( Lender ). Due to the events of XXXX it had become difficult to maintain my personal liabilities ( bills ) at current and satisfactory status. 

In XXXX of last year, I had reached out to the lender to advise of my plans to make my account current and arrange payment. The agents I spoke with wouldn't indulge any reason as to why the loan was past due, but rather yelled, belittled, and threatened to take my car. They wouldn't entertain a payment arrangement that would satisfy the account the first week of XXXX ( the following month ). I was so upset with the interaction with the agent and her XXXX and scared that my car would be taken away before I could satisfy the account, that I immediately pulled funds from my 401k. Then subsequently paid {$1100.00} in XXXX, by, XX/XX/XXXX. 

Moving forward a few months my payments were scattered, but in XXXX of this year, XXXX I paid {$800.00}. Due to the new year and becoming financially stable, XX/XX/XXXX or XX/XX/XXXX all of my liabilities would be current and in good standing, due to the economic stimulus payment of {$1400.00} being mailed to my on XX/XX/XXXX. 

I received an email from the lender on XX/XX/XXXX requesting I contact them. I did so via email, and i received no reply. I am not going to put myself through a battery of XXXX  again by calling them. Today ( XX/XX/XXXX ) I received another email from the lender indicating that I need to contact them ASAP due to the account being past due. The email also indicated that if the account isn't made current " promptly '', it will be " escalated '' to enforce the note, and since " enforcement '' would include " moving to the pre-repossession stage and then possible repossession of the motor vehicle serving as collateral ''. 

Today, I noticed my car was missing, and my property XXXX didn't tow my car, I called the lender. They indicated to me that the vehicle was repossessed this morning. They have assessed a total charge of {$1900.00}. Charges including {$1100.00} past due amount, {$18.00} late fees, {$730.00} security payments, {$460.00} in repossession fees. 

On XX/XX/XXXX I received an email communication from the lender to contact them due to my account status. I promptly replied to the email seeking resolution, however, the lender never responded. Today XXXX XX/XX/XXXX XXXX, I realize my vehicle is missing. After speaking with my residential property XXXX, and they affirmed that they had not towed my vehicle, I immediately contact the lender. The lender informs me that my vehicle was repossessed this morning. 

The lender sent me an email this morning ( XXXX XXXX XXXX ) asking that I contact them promptly in order to resolve my account status. If I do not do this promptly, then the lender may enforce the note/contract, and move to " pre-repossession '', and then possible repossession of the vehicle.
