Complaint:
I purchased a vehicle from XXXX XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX financed through XXXX XXXX. All payments were made on time through the payment portal on www.myfexaccount.com per instructions from the dealership. 
When attempting to make the payment for XX/XX/XXXX the website for www.myfexaccount.com re-routed me to a website XXXX ; not knowing what this site was, I did not input any information. I began to reach out to the dealership and company to inquire about the website rerouting to find out the following. 
1- The dealership that I purchased the vehicle from was no longer in service and not at the location I purchased from when I attempted to visit the dealership for answers. ( I am unaware as to when the dealership closed. ) 2- I began to call the number and email the website listed on my Credit report for answers ( no other contact information was ever given for XXXX XXXX ), no response has been received. Currently the XXXX XXXX website is not an active website and emails for XXXX XXXX come back as undeliverable. 
I then filed a complaint with the Better Business Bureau XX/XX/XXXX and their investigation yielded no response from the financial company XX/XX/XXXX. 
Someone called me on XX/XX/XXXX stating they were a representative of XXXX XXXX and I allowed a one-time payment over the phone, no receipt was ever received. However, I have my bank statement to show the transaction. Then without consent or communication, they processed a payment without authorization on XX/XX/XXXX to my credit card. I attempted to contact the company again, as well as attempted to log into the XXXX account to pay my XX/XX/XXXX bill, but the system does not recognize my information and again I began to reach out to someone at XXXX XXXX for assistance, I have yet to receive a response. I also called the XXXX website provider for assistance, and they have no record of my account or vehicle information in their system to assist with access and payment. 
I was never given any communication about the dealership going out of business or any changes that were being made to the payment system or website as well as instructions for the new platform or reporting structure. I have never received any communication from XXXX XXXX after several attempts. I have never received any communication from the company. I am requesting the company to send all information related to my vehicle lease. As well as instructions on how I am to obtain the title information once payments are completed. 
It has also just come to my attention that the company is now reporting negative late payments in my credit report. XXXX XXXX has not provided any information for customer support. XXXX XXXX has yet to respond to any communication attempts from myself or The Better Business Bureau.
