Complaint narrative:
XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, AZ XXXX Bridgecrest Credit Company, XXXX : Legal XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX, AZ XXXX Subject : Formal Demand for Arbitration, Cease of Collection Activities, and Immediate Correction of Credit Reporting Dear Legal Departments, This letter serves as my formal demand for arbitration, as required by the arbitration clause in my purchase and financing agreements with XXXX XXXX, financed through Bridgecrest Credit Company LLC. This letter addresses wrongful repossession, inappropriate collection activities, and unlawful credit reporting associated with the purchase of the referenced vehicle. 

Detailed Account History and Dispute Background : On XX/XX/XXXXXXXX I purchased a Jeep from XXXX, financed through Bridgecrest. 

Shortly after purchase, multiple significant issues arose with the vehicle, violating the terms outlined in our sales contract, which required XXXX to address any defects promptly. 

Despite repeated requests for XXXX to repair these defects or pick up and cancel the vehicle sale due to ongoing unresolved issues, XXXX repeatedly failed to comply. 

Due to XXXX persistent failure to retrieve the defective vehicle, I was forced to cancel my insurance. Consequently, this situation led directly to the suspension of my driver 's license. 

Ultimately, despite their failure to fulfill contractual obligations to resolve these vehicle defects or cancel the sale as previously agreed, XXXX and Bridgecrest wrongfully repossessed the vehicle on XX/XX/XXXX. 

Bridgecrest has since continued to demand payment on an account associated with a vehicle they improperly repossessed. 

Violation of Prior Agreements and Credit Reporting : Under the terms of our previous communications, XXXX explicitly agreed to address or cancel the sale due to unresolved vehicle defects. Therefore, Bridgecrest 's continued demands and any negative credit reporting related to this account are inaccurate and constitute willful violations of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA, 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 ). 

Legal Implications : Any continuation of negative reporting, given the above-stated facts, constitutes a deliberate violation of the FCRA and exposes both Bridgecrest and XXXX to legal liability for : Actual and statutory damages due to financial and reputational harm. 

Punitive damages as permitted by the FCRA. 

Attorney 's fees and costs associated with arbitration or further legal action. 

Demanded Immediate Actions : Immediate initiation of arbitration as stipulated in our contractual agreement.

Immediate cessation of all collection activities pending arbitration.

Immediate written confirmation of correction or removal of any negative credit reporting concerning this account. 

Compensation for all damages incurred, including financial loss, inconvenience, license reinstatement expenses, and any related harm caused by XXXX and Bridgecrests actions. 

Legal Consequences : Failure to comply within fourteen ( 14 ) days from receipt of this letter will result in initiating arbitration and pursuing all legal remedies available, including litigation for breach of contract and violations of the FCRA and applicable state consumer protection statutes. 

Please direct all communications exclusively to me at the provided contact information. I anticipate your prompt action to resolve these serious matters. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX
