Complaint:
I XXXX XXXX XXXX of XXXX Florida and XXXX XXXX XXXX, agreed to a 72 months Auto Loan Agreement on XX/XX/XXXX. However, due to a very challenging divorce that was financially destructive, I missed some payments, and made XXXX aware of my financial situation. During that time I was always in touch with XXXX, keeping them abreast, and paid whatever, and whenever I could. XXXX advised me that they would add the missed payments to the back end of the loan with out penalty. Not very long after, I eventually regained my financially strength and was able to continue making the agreed monthly amount, and sometimes a bit more. On XXXX of XXXX, I noticed that my original maturity date was in XX/XX/XXXX, so I reached out to XXXX and requested an explanation as to why my balance amount was so high, around my maturity date in XX/XX/XXXX. There were no sensible explanation given, and my maturity date and amount kept on changing. The maturity date kept on moving each month from XXXX and finally stopped in XX/XX/XXXX, when XXXX reached out to me, and tried to get me to extend the loan. Due to Covid-19 and lost of job and income, I was unable to pay the large amount of over XXXX XXXX dollars, which was the maturity date amount, and was very curious about why there was such large balance after 7 years of payments on a {$16000.00} agreement. Again I reached out to XXXX for an explanation, but was threatened, and XXXX off the phone without any solid explanation. In XX/XX/XXXX I reached out to an accounting firm and they requested the original agreement, which I later acquired a copy from XXXX, after several failed attempts. The accounting firm conduct a review of the agreement and concluded several illegal charges, and further advised me to seek legal council to dispute the alleged over charges. While working with a XXXX XXXX, I then continued making my monthly payments until XXXX of this year XXXX when I paid off over XXXX XXXX dollars, which finally brought the balance to a XXXX balance. However, I noticed a major drop in my credit score, and later realized that XXXX reported my payments late since XXXX of XXXX through to XX/XX/XXXX, and a charge off of over XXXX XXXX Dollar balance was also reported on my credit as well. Lastly, It was also reported on my credit that the loan agreement was an 84 months agreement, when in fact was a 72 months agreement. I know that I missed some payments during my divorce periods, and therefore is not disputing those late or missed payment, but based of the ( FCRA ), XXXX violated my rights in negatively reporting false information on my credit files. Therefore, I am requesting an immediate removal, and an investigation regarding the legitimacy of the additional charges, as well of the term of the agreement. On top of all the errors made by XXXX, I have also attached a copy of correspondence received from XXXX followed by calls related to the attached letter in error.
