Issue: Repossession — Notice to repossess
Company: Westlake Services, LLC
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I originally got my car from American Car Center and American Financial. They went out of business in early XXXX. I couldn't contact anyone regarding my car since both the bank and dealership went out of business so I was in the process of getting a court-ordered title to resolve the issue. 

Fast forward to a couple of weeks ago, my car was randomly repossessed. I wasn't notified by anyone of a past-due balance AND wasn't sent a notice regarding the repossession. I didn't even know about Westlake until after my car was taken. I had to contact the police regarding my car being taken, who gave me the tow, who gave me the information for another company, that gave me Westlakes contact information.

I called Westlake and they confirmed that they've been sending their notices to the WRONG ADDRESS ( they had the right one on file all along and I have this in writing ). I asked for all of the documentation regarding their claim to this debt, and they refused to send it to me. This took a week 's worth of calls to get this documentation, despite my explicit approval of sending it to me and frequent mentions of how theyre violating my rights under the FDCPA ( I have this recorded via phone conversation ). I didnt even find out who was in possession of the car after the repossession until XXXX weeks after the car was taken. After finally sending me the documentation, about two to three weeks after my car had been repossessed ( the date they sent everything via email was XX/XX/XXXX ), they mentioned that my car was scheduled to be sold in a private sale on XX/XX/XXXX. I dont know under what right they have to only give someone a two-day notice of their intent to sell.

Now if this doesnt fall under unfair or deceptive acts or practices, I dont know what does. I have numerous recorded calls from Westlake employees trying to gaslight me into believing that what theyve done is justified, despite my clear effort to get clarity on the situation. At this point, I have most of everything I requested in writing and hav
e numerous recorded calls with conversations with Westlake. I would appreciate your investigation into the situation, as I believe that Westlakes actions warrant serious scrutiny. I believe that various amounts of my rights have been violated, including failure to provide notices, improper debt collection practices, and refusal to essential documents to verify any debts.
