Company: Westlake Services, LLC (GA)

I was a customer of US Auto Sales. When they went out of business they illegally " transferred '' or " sold '' our loan to Westlake financial. Unlike most people involved I have my original contract. In this contract it clearly says that our contracts can not be given away, transferred or sold. It goes on to say that no oral changes can be made to this contract, all changes must be in writing and agreed upon by all parties. US Auto had breached the contract prior to Westlake taking over by not paying for the extended warranty I had been paying for. Westlake continued to not honor any of our original contract but are currently stealing our cars, my car was stolen by them on XX/XX/XXXX after they ignored all attempts by me to get a debt validation, a copy of my contact or proof that a court had approved them taking over my contract without having to have my approval in writing. They are currently in the process of selling stolen property. They are also breaking FTC law by harassing me through robo calls calling 1-3 times a day to a cellphone I did not give them permission to call. I have around 100 calls logged as well as voicemails of the harassment. In GA they are required to give a 10 a ten day notice prior to a repossession. They failed to do so. The company they had steal my car still has my personal property and struck another vehicle while stealing my car.

I was notified of a delinquent balance with USAA credit ( account ending in XXXX  ), via a routine credit notification service the night of XX/XX/XXXX. Prior to this check, I maintained a perfect credit score for over 15 years. I called the day of XX/XX/XXXX, to rectify the balance and request that the delinquent report be removed. I spoke with ( person ) in banking who transferred me to ( person, # ) in collections. 

I was then informed that the above mentioned credit card that had been on autopay since the account was opened in XXXX, was not on autopay. I was not notified via email or phone of the delinquency. When I inquired, I was told that the documents were listed under new document in the online account, but no email or other notification indicating that any account with USAA was delinquent was sent. When I asked why I was not called about this, the representative said USAA calls people all the time. When I asked about [ removing the charge as a courtesy ), as I had banked with them since XXXX with no previous delinquencies or issues, they said that it was not their department and that I would have to fill out the form on the website for credit disputes. When I pulled up the page, it said that USAA policy dictates that they will not remove accurate information from credit reports. regardless of dispute. When I read this to the debt collector on the phone, she reiterated that she wanted to make sure payment was collected so no further delinquencies would be reported. I did make the payment in full. They said that an investigation would be completed if I were to submit a credit dispute to USAA online, but in the interim, my credit score dropped almost XXXX points. Furthermore, following the phone call, I immediately tried to submit the form on USAA, but each attempt to submit resulted in an error message on their website ( INSERT ERROR LANGUAGE ). 

My credit score has dropped substantially due to no fault of my own. This has ramifications for rentals, job applications, and basic security. When I was made aware of the balance, I paid it in full, as I always do, including all fees assessed with the previously unknown delinquency.

I lodged a complaint against these Bureaus a month ago, but unfortunately, the inaccurate information on my report still remains. Surprisingly, I haven't received any response or correspondence from the Bureaus, and they have already closed my complaint. Could you please explain why they closed my complaint without resolving the issue? Have they even acknowledged or verified my dispute? I need assurance that they have thoroughly checked the inaccuracies on my report and validated the accounts. Can you provide details about the methods they used to verify my report? This situation is incredibly frustrating! It has been more than 30 days since I filed the complaint, and I expected these accounts to be updated by now.

Issue: Fees or interest — Charged too much interest
Company: CITIBANK, N.A. (CA)

The credit card imposed a very high interest rate after the promotional rate expired even though I have never been late or missed a payment. I wrote a dispute letter on XX/XX/2023 asking for an explanation. On XX/XX/XXXX they responded with a form letter having no information pertaining to my account. I wrote them back ( see attached ) requesting documentary evidence regarding the rate and on XX/XX/XXXX they wrote a letter ( see attachment ) providing no further documentation beyond a hopelessly vague reference to {$6.00} refund without any explanation. I am in the process of tryimg to pay off the entire balance of {$18000.00} because of the punishing monthly interest of {$450.00} being imposed without justification. This is an extreme hardship on me and my wife.
