Company has violated multiple FDCPA Laws, please see below. 

As the original consumer/ creditor, I have been misled and used by Capital One Auto finance and intend to get full repayment for this financial transaction. Capital One Auto has violated me as the original consumer in the following ways : - 15 U.S. Code 1692c - Communication in connection with debt collection : ( a ) Communication with the consumer generally Without the prior consent of the consumer given directly to the debt collector or the express permission of a court of competent jurisdiction, a debt collector may not communicate with a consumer in connection with the collection of any debt. I have never given Cap One Auto permission to contact me by phone, email or mail, I actually sent a cease and desist letter in XXXX XX/XX/2020. 

- 15 U.S. Code 1692e. False or misleading representations : A debt collector may not use any false, deceptive, or misleading representation or means in connection with the collection of any debt. ( 2 ) The false representation of ( A ) the character, amount, or legal status of any debt. Capital One Auto has used misleading contracts that do not show them as a party who signed the contract, rather it was assigned to them without my knowledge at the time of the contract being presented. I also sent an affidavit of recession, which is attached, to cancel the contract and release my self from any financial responsible to Capital One Auto finance. 

- 15 U.S. Code 1692g - Validation of debts : ( b ) Disputed debts - If the consumer notifies the debt collector in writing within the thirty-day period described in subsection ( a ) that the debt, or any portion thereof, is disputed, or that the consumer requests the name and address of the original creditor, the debt collector shall cease collection of the debt, or any disputed portion thereof, until the debt collector obtains verification of the debt or a copy of a judgment, or the name and address of the original creditor, and a copy of such verification or judgment, or name and address of the original creditor, is mailed to the consumer by the debt collector. I was never sent any information regarding the original creditor, unless Capital One is Admitting I am the original creditor, as they sent me paper work bearing my signature and the dealership where the purchase was made. 

-15 U.S. Code 1692h - Multiple debts : If any consumer owes multiple debts and makes any single payment to any debt collector with respect to such debts, such debt collector may not apply such payment to any debt which is disputed by the consumer and, where applicable, shall apply such payment in accordance with the consumers directions. With respect to this law, I would like all funds to be returned in full to me, seeing I have been disputing this account and was not able to get any remedy at the time. 

- 15 U.S. Code 1692j - Furnishing certain deceptive forms : ( a ) It is unlawful to design, compile, and furnish any form knowing that such form would be used to create the false belief in a consumer that a person other than the creditor of such consumer is participating in the collection of or in an attempt to collect a debt such consumer allegedly owes such creditor, when in fact such person is not so participating. Capital One Auto Finance has furnished documents that give a false narrative that I owe them for my credit that was used to purchase this vehicle. Capital One Auto finance noted they were waiting until they received the check before my account could be loaded in their system for me to make payments, I now learned that check was created from my signature and social security number.
