Product: Vehicle loan or lease

My XXXX XXXX was repossessed in XX/XX/XXXX. 

On XX/XX/XXXX I spoke with XXXX from XXXX ( on a recorded line ). He informed me that I could choose to pay {$1800.00} by XX/XX/XXXX to reinstate the loan or the other option would be a voluntary repossession if I did not/could not reinstate the loan. 

In the subsequent days, I had a lengthy conversation with the owner of XXXX XXXX, where I leased my vehicle, where I asked for his guidance. Ultimately I chose the voluntary repossession because I realized the payments were not sustainable and I would likely find myself in the same situation down the road. I very much appreciated the guidance and confirmed my decision with Ford. I was then given the location to go retrieve my items from the car. My plan was always to pay the remaining balance once I was given the information I needed. I did not get any correspondence from Ford until I was told my account was past due. At that time I requested the amount that the car was sold for at auction. I did not receive that information. I submitted numerous disputes to the credit bureaus hoping that would get them to send me the information. However, I was served paperwork by the law firm XXXX, XXXX and XXXX stating they would be collecting the amount due. 

They were requiring me to attend a court hearing which I could not attend due to work. I contacted Attorney XXXX and she told me that I did not need to attend the hearing during our phone call on XX/XX/XXXX at XXXXXXXX XXXX  ( XXXX minute call ). She stated she would send me the requested information and a list of the documentation they would need to determine the monthly payment. I have numerous emails where I confirmed that I was told this. The Firm is claiming I only sent some documents. They never replied to my emails or phone calls. XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  which is why I was meticulous about record keeping and following every verbal conversation with an email. 

I can also provide copies of all emails as well as phone records of the numerous times I called them ( XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX ). 

I received a letter stating I failed to appear to court and immediately contacted the firm. I have a copy of the email I sent asking them why I got a failure to appear notice. 

I also have evidence of when I reported the firm to the court because they told me not to appear. I did send this complaint to the wrong department ( I can provide the email ) but it is further evidence I was told not to attend the hearing. 

I submitted a complaint on XX/XX/XXXX with the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. I was in contact with XXXX XXXX from the bureau.
