My mortage was sold to another lender. I have no control over if/when the bank who services my mortage chooses to sell it to a different lender. 

On XX/XX/2023, Experian reported my credit score decreased by XXXX points because they classified the mortage as closed instead of transferred. 

I filed dispute XXXX on XX/XX/2023 with Experian which they resolved on XX/XX/2023. My credit score has not been adjusted as a result of their investigation, although they verified the information I submitted was accurate. 

A XXXX point decrease in credit score is substantial and should not be the result of a consumer 's mortage being transferred to a new lender. Mortages are frequently bought and sold and it is unfair to be financially penalized for actions taken by banks which consumers are helpless to prevent.

Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem — Investigation took more than 30 days
Company: Westlake Services, LLC (GA)

I have purchased a total of four cars through U.S. Auto and I've maintained an impeccable repayment history. In XXXX of 2023 I was informed that I had a payment that was reported on my credit report that was past due 30 days. This payment was due bi-weekly with a five-day grace period. After the grace period the vehicles are equip with a security system that will shut the vehicle down automatically and my vehicle has never been disabled. I attempted to speak with someone by phone on several occasions and was unsuccessful. I was informed I had to send an email to their dispute department and wait 30 days or more for an answer. I sent the email with my explanation as to why I believed the error was on their end and what it boiled down to was their word against mine. I also asked as a valued customer and as a one time, courtesy could they remove the item from my credit report. They responded over 30 days later that by law they had to report it and couldn't remove it. 

I received a notification in XX/XX/2023 that U.S. Auto was closing all 39 of their locations until further notice immediately. I received a notice from Westlake Portfolio Management that my loan has been transferred to them for the collection of my future payments. The Gap insurance, extended warranties etc. that we all purchased no longer exist. All they are responsible for is collecting the payments. Westlake portfolio has zero information to offer concerning U.S. Auto. The next thing I see is the local news broadcasting reports of consumers that have purchased are complaining about being delinquent with their payments and they weren't. This is when I realized I'm not alone. There is no way to reach US Auto at this point. They literally informed their XXXX office staff to complete what they were working on and leave the building. 

There are consumers that purchased vehicles within 30 days of the abruptly closing that can not get the required tags for their vehicles. This concerns me because I am close to paying my vehicle off and if Westlake portfolio can't get their required tags, how will I get my title?
