Product: Vehicle loan or lease — Loan
Issue: Struggling to pay your loan — Denied request to lower payments
Company: CL Holdings LLC
State: OK

Complaint narrative:
Im seeking help resolving an auto loan account that was mishandled during a time of financial hardship. I contacted the lender multiple times to return the vehicle, as I could no longer afford the payments. Instead of honoring my request, the lender applied XXXX forbearance or postponement programs without my full understanding or consent. These actions did not address the core issue : I was unable to maintain the loan, and I communicated this clearly and consistently. 

Despite my repeated, good-faith efforts to return the vehicle, the lender never followed through on retrieving it. I was eventually told it would be picked up, but that never occurred. The vehicle remained on my property for over a month. To avoid legal or towing issues, I reluctantly relocated it myself. I never received a formal notice of repossession, a title transfer, loan closure, or any documentation explaining the resolution of the account. 

Now, Jefferson Capital Systems is reporting this account as a new collection ( opened XX/XX/year> ), even though I was never contacted by them beforehand. I am formally disputing the validity of this debt due to the unresolved and mishandled circumstances. 

I am requesting a full investigation and the removal of this account from my credit report. I also seek written confirmation that I hold no further financial or legal responsibility for this loan or the vehicle. This account should no longer impact my credit, finances, or life, especially after my early and repeated efforts to resolve it properly.
