Complaint:
XX/XX/XXXX, We ( spouse ) purchased a vehicle from XXXX XXXX XXXX in XXXX, OH. It was financed through XXXX XXXX XXXX.I paid my loan relatively consistently until early XXXX. During the loan the vehicle was serviced numerous times, although it was under warranty in the beginning, it came to a point that the warranty expired and all repairs were out of pocket. The last time the car stopped on a busy XXXX highway. I had it towed home and could not afford to have it repaired again. It was just in the shop for repairs only 2 months prior to this incident. I called XXXX   and told them to come pickthe car up. I spoke with numerous people XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, XXXX just to name a few ... They kept trying to get me to pay even after I told them that I could not afford to continue to pay. they really put on the pressure. After a couple of months pass, I call them again to come pick it up, which they did with no problem. I received a letter shortly after telling me that they have possesson of the vehicle and the date that they would be selling the car in an auction in OH. That date for the sale was XX/XX/XXXX. I received another letter : EXPLANATION OF CALCULATION OF SURPLUS OR DEFICIENCY dated XX/XX/XXXX. It said the car was sold for {$7000.00}, there were costs that totaled {$810.00}. They intentionally left off a credit for GAP insurance. I ( we ) have been checking my credit report since XX/XX/XXXX to see when the amount that I owe XXXX is corrected. It is currently reporting that I ( we ) owe {$16000.00}. I have written XXXX, Experian, XXXX  & XXXX to dispute the amount owed. XXXX is reporting inaccurate information on a credit report, which is against FCRA. On XX/XX/XXXX, I ( we ) spoke with XXXX at XXXX EST at XXXX and questioned her about the incorrect information and the reason we were not credited for GAP insurance, she stated that my account had not been assigned to anyone yet and they could possibly be waiting on an insurance payment. I informed her that they were reporting inaccurate information and she could only say that it has not been assigned to anyone. I asked how long does it take to be assigned to someone and she said she did not know. She also told me that as of today XX/XX/XXXX my balance is now {$9600.00} because of per diem charges. I don't understand how you can charge per diem when you can not give me an accurate amount of what I owe, if you did not credit my account something that should have been credited? I asked if I could enter into an agreement to make lower payments on what I owe and she told me that I could always send in payments, but they can not say the bill has been satisfied until they get a XXXX balance. If I am correct, I ( we ) should have received a notice with the letter dated XXXX, XXXX cancelling the original contract. There has been ample time to correct this with the 3 major credit bureaus.
