Consumer complaint received 2024-09-06 00:00:00
Product: Vehicle loan or lease — Loan
Issue: Repossession — Company explaining amount owed
Company: Westlake Services, LLC
State: MA

Complaint narrative:
I was told by an agent on XX/XX/XXXX on a recorded conversation that I would not owe ANY payments on my loan until XXXX of XXXX. I confirmed with the representative MULTIPLE times during the phone call that I would not owe anything until XXXX. I called back the next day to confirm & was told by both agents that my account was current. 
My car was repossessed on XX/XX/XXXX, stating that I had a past due balance of over {$1000.00} and that I was 64 days past due which is impossible due to the fact I had already confirmed that I did not owe anything until XXXX. They said I could not get my car back without paying the full contract amount. I told them what the initial representative said, asked them to pull the call and escalate my situation. After 14+ calls they have lowered the amount, but they still will not allow me to get my car back unless I pay the past due balance of {$1000.00} and the repossession fees. However, there should not be a past due balance in that amount seeing that the initial representative told me I didnt owe anything for XXXX or XXXX & that I have already made the payment for XXXX and all I should owe at this point is the regular monthly payment for XXXX which I am willing to pay. 
Westlake is not holding themselves accountable for information that their representatives are giving customers, instead they have placed full blame on me and have not taken ANY accountability for their actions. 
On top of this, when my vehicle was being repossessed the repo company violated XXXX laws. In the state of MA repossessions can not happen on private property ( my car was parked in a residential driveway ). They coerced me into giving the keys by threatening to charge me {$500.00} if I didnt, and then legally the tow company only has 1 hour to inform the police in the city that the repossession occurred, but the tow company never called to inform the police at all. Because this company was contracted by Westlake to complete a job, Westlake is responsible for the actions that the tow company took while repossessing my vehicle. When I have mentioned this to them, they refuse to acknowledge what is wrong or assume any responsibility. 
I was also never sent the proper letter that XXXX  legally requires companies to send out prior to repossession notifying the customer that they are in default. There is specific wording and title information that must be included and Westlake never issued that letter to me. 
I am asking for my car to be returned to me at no cost to me, I am willing to pay the monthly payment for XXXX as that is what I rightfully owe, but the car was repossessed due to their error. Westlake needs to hold their employees accountable instead of punishing the customer for misinformation given by one of their representatives.

Complaint narrative:
" After reviewing my consumer report, I noticed that there was still late payment on my consumer report which have never been late because the creditor failed to provide any proof or evidence so this needs to be corrected immediately to paid as agreed and never late. This account is related to a transaction and experience that falls under the EXCLUSION section of the FCRA 's definitions, rules of construction section. It was also reported without my written consent and therefore is a result of identity theft ( as defined by the Federal Trade Commission ), and the account SHALL be Corrected. This account is not related to any transaction authorized by me, the consumer as I did not give written instructions to your agency to report this, which is a violation of the permissible purpose section of the FCRA, which holds your agency name liable for damages of at least {$1000.00} per the civil liability section for willful non-compliance. Please CORRECT this item from my consumer report! According to15 U.S. Code 1681b - Permissible purposes of consumer reports The Law clearly states : ( a ) In general Subject to subsection ( c ), any consumer reporting agency may furnish a consumer report under the following circumstances and no other : ( 2 ) In accordance with the written instructions of the consumer to whom it relates. I clearly did not give your agency written authorization or written instructions to report this information. Your agency is conspiring with these creditors against me in committing aggravated identity theft and I have sustained defamation of my character, just to name a couple damages should this matter escalate to court. 15 U.S. Code 1681e - Compliance procedures- ( b ) Accuracy of report Whenever a consumer reporting agency prepares a consumer report it shall follow reasonable procedures to assure maximum possible accuracy of the information concerning the individual about whom the report relates. 15 U.S. Code 1681i ( 5 ) Treatment of inaccurate or unverifiable information ( A ) In general if, after any reinvestigation under paragraph ( 1 ) of any information disputed by a consumer, an item of information is found to be inaccurate or incomplete or can not be verified, the consumer reporting agency shall -- i ) promptly delete that item of information from the file of the consumer, or modify that item of information, as appropriate, based on the results of the reinvestigation ; and ii ) promptly notify the furnisher of that information that the information has been modified or deleted from the file of the consumer.

Complaint narrative:
I am trying to rent an apartment. TransUnion runs the identity verification questions and they are all wrong and not pertinent to my history or personal information. I've called TransUnion multiple times and spoke with their customer relations and rental department on XX/XX/2024, XXXX XXXX, 2024, XXXX XXXX, 2024, and XXXX XXXX, 2024. Every TransUnion department said there is nothing they can do. 

I was able to get my credit report sent to me and the information is accurate BUT I've failed the identity verification questions 5 times because the questions are not related to my personal history. TransUnion refuses to fix these questions and they don't reveal how or where they are pulling this information. I have lost the opportunity to rent an apartment 3 times now because the rental service XXXX uses TransUnion to verify identity. I've called both TransUnion and XXXX and neither service can fix the identity question issues.

Complaint narrative:
My accounts was never late! I have had exceptional payment history with XXXX  XXXX and all payments were placed on Autopay. This late payment that is reporting is a result on a systematic error on their end processing my payment.

This was clearly a billing error made my the company and is not a reflection of my payment experience which violates USC Code 1681eb. This error has caused severe hard to my reputation, my character, my mode of living and to my family!

I demand the late payment reported to be removed/updated.

They are not in compliance with the following law. 15 USC 1666b and its requirements set the standards and the guidance for a creditor to treat a payment as late, yet they are reporting a payment as late and they did not comply with the law!

15 USC 1666b ( a ) Time to make payments A creditor may not treat a payment on a credit card account under an open end consumer credit plan as late for any purpose, unless the creditor has adopted reasonable procedures designed to ensure that each periodic statement including the information required by section 1637 ( b ) of this title is mailed or delivered to the consumer not later than 21 days before the payment due date.

I have requested proof that this information was mailed or delivered 21 days before the payment due date and this information was requested in good faith pursuant rule 1002 and It was never provided.

This is unfair, illegal, fraudulent, and not equitable to me as a consumer!

I am writing to formally request the removal of several unauthorized accounts and inquiries from my credit report. These accounts and inquiries are not associated with me, and I did not authorize their inclusion on my report. The presence of these inaccuracies is the result of a data breach that has adversely affected my credit standing, leading to a significant drop in my FICO score. 

The inclusion of these unauthorized accounts and inquiries has caused considerable stress and concern regarding my financial well-being. It is imperative that my credit report accurately reflects my financial history and activities. Therefore, I request an immediate investigation into these inaccuracies and the prompt removal of all unauthorized accounts and inquiries.

Complaint narrative:
I recently reached out to Kia Finance in an effort to correct reported late payments. I recently requested a deferred payment and noticed the company reported the payment the next month as late when it was deferred. I also found when reviewing my credit report that they have reported numerous late payments inaccurately. When I reviewed, they continued to report late payments based off of a late fee that I was unaware of that they continued to report as a missed payment. I stated to them that I was attempting to request they updated their reporting to be accurate and fair.

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally express my concern regarding the responses I received after sending out XXXX letters to various credit companies. Instead of providing substantive responses or taking appropriate actions, these companies have merely sent stall letters, delaying the resolution of my requests. 

I expect these companies to comply with the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and provide timely and meaningful responses to my inquiries. The stall tactics are both frustrating and unacceptable, and I request immediate action to address this issue. 

Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to a prompt resolution.

Here are the violati

ons under the **Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) ** : 1. **Failure to Investigate** : Violates Section 1681s-2 ( a ) ( 8 ) ( E ) Credit furnishers must investigate disputes. 2. **Failure to Correct or Remove Inaccurate Information** : Violates Section 1681s-2 ( b ) Furnishers must correct or delete inaccurate information after an investigation. 3. **Failure to Respond Within 30 Days** : Violates Section 1681i ( a ) ( 1 ) Furnishers must respond to disputes within 30 days. Sending stall letters without conduc
ting an investigation or providing a resolution breaches these FCRA requirements.
