Product: Vehicle loan or lease

I am writing to file a complaint against Wells Fargo Auto regarding their failure to honor an accord and satisfaction agreement and their intentional mishandling of payments to my account. 

On XX/XX/XXXX, I reached an agreement with Wells Fargo Auto to settle my outstanding debt for my auto loan through an accord and satisfaction agreement. Despite this agreement, Wells Fargo Auto has continued to demand payment and has even threatened to repossess my vehicle. 

Additionally, Wells Fargo Auto has been purposely misapplying my payments, resulting in inaccurate account balances and additional fees. This behavior is a clear violation of consumer protection laws, including the Fair Credit Reporting Act and the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act. 

Furthermore, my research has revealed that Wells Fargo has a history of similar behavior. In XXXX, the CFPB fined Wells Fargo {$100.00} million for opening unauthorized accounts and charging customers for services they did not request. This is evidence of a pattern of unethical and illegal behavior by Wells Fargo, which warrants further investigation and action by the CFPB. Most recently they have been charged again for illegal practices, their executive office is unprofessional and uneducated and poses a threat to the life and liberty outlined in the Constitution of this great Nation. Accord and Satisfaction is a write of the people to discharge debt and their ignorance of the law is no excuse in law. 

I request that the CFPB investigate this matter and take appropriate action against Wells Fargo Auto for their failure to honor an accord and satisfaction agreement, their intentional mishandling of payments, and their violation of consumer protection laws. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
