It also states in the XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX that " anything in box on any form, is in reality not on that form '' so the truth in lending act may seem to be upheld in the contract, however, after careful scrutiny only the fallacy of the information is really being agreed upon. also I entered into this contract with bonafide god faith, that there would be an even exchange of goods. '' [ FOLLOW UP REBUTTAL ] You claim not to be a debt collector yet federal specifically states the actions you are taking are indeed, by definition, a violation of XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  ( 6 ). I have taken the liberty of providing an excerpt of the cited federal law. ( 6 ) The term debt collector means any person who uses any instrumentality of interstate commerce or the mails in any business the principal purpose of which is the collection of any debts, or who regularly collects or attempts to collect, directly or indirectly, debts owed or due or asserted to be owed or due another. Notwithstanding the exclusion provided by clause ( F ) of the last sentence of this paragraph, the term includes any creditor who, in the process of collecting his own debts, uses any name other than his own which would indicate that a third person is collecting or attempting to collect such debts. For the purpose of section 1692f ( 6 ) of this title, such term also includes any person who uses any instrumentality of interstate commerce or the mails in any business the principal purpose of which is the enforcement of security interests. The term does not include ( A ) any officer or employee of a creditor while, in the name of the creditor, collecting debts for such creditor ; ( B ) any person while acting as a debt collector for another person, both of whom are related by common ownership or affiliated by corporate control, if the person acting as a debt collector does so only for persons to whom it is so related or affiliated and if the principal business of such person is not the collection of debts ; ( C ) any officer or employee of the XXXX XXXX or any State to the extent that collecting or attempting to collect any debt is in the performance of his official duties ; ( D ) any person while serving or attempting to serve legal process on any other person in connection with the judicial enforcement of any debt ; ( E ) any nonprofit organization which, at the request of consumers, performs bona fide consumer credit counseling and assists consumers in the liquidation of their debts by receiving payments from such consumers and distributing such amounts to creditors ; and ( F ) any person collecting or attempting to collect any debt owed or due or asserted to be owed or due another to the extent such activity ( i ) is incidental to a bona fide fiduciary obligation or a bona fide escrow arrangement ; ( ii ) concerns a debt which was originated by such person ; ( iii ) concerns a debt which was not in default at the time it was obtained by such person ; or ( iv ) concerns a debt obtained by such person as a secured party in a commercial credit transaction involving the creditor. In this excerpt it is vivid what the exceptions are for which to be excluded from being labeled a debt collector. Sadly XXXX XXXX does not fall under pretenses of the exclusion list ; henceforth labeling this corporation and its practices as a debt collector. You also made mention of the court case XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ) This case fails to address two major points that still point the finger at your corporation falling under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ). Your corporation is still a XXXX  party. Which means your financial institutions continues to fall under the umbrella term of debt collector On another note you made mention of repossession of the my property pursuant to On another note you made mention of a retail installment contract which i have so graciously provided as evidence of your fraud. 15 USC 1692j states the furnishing of deceptive forms and this fraudulently crafted consumer credit contract was made to appear like a retail installment agreement. When taking into account contract law and what is really going to be litigated the text within the boxes appears blank, So realistically speaking on every page where there is a big box and just a signature outside of the box the judge will only see my signature and a blank page. This idea is also reaffirmed in the XXXX XXXX Manual styles book where in court anything that is out within ( ), parenthesises, brackets [ ], or is within a box is actually not on the page. So in reality the retail installment agreement is really a contract that was crafted for me to give XXXX XXXX a security interest in the actual tangible property. Henceforth, XXXX XXXX has committed contract fraud and is since the inception of this extension of credit, in breach of contract because there in reality was never a full disclosure of terms from XXXX financial to the consumer. Lastly confirming once more that XXXX XXXX was and still is a XXXX party debt collector to a transaction they did not originate, but were assigned without recourse from XXXX XXXX XXXX. Pursuant to 12 USC 8, the job of a bank is not to lend money. So XXXX XXXX  also has a fraudulent security interest in the title to the actual property. 15 USC 1692e - false or misleading representations ( 2 ) the false representation of - A. The character, amount, or legal status of any debt ( 4 ) the representation or implication that nonpayment of any debt will result in the arrest of any person or the XXXX, garnishment, attachment, or sale of any property or wages of any person unless such action is lawful and the debt collector or creditor intends to take such action. ( 5 ) the threat to take any action that can not legally be taken or that is not intended to be taken. ( 6 ) the false representation or implication that a sale, referral, or other transfer of any interest In a debt shall cause the consumer to - A. Lose a claim or defense to payment of the debt of B. Become subject to any practice prohibited by this sub chapter. Now in the rebuttal XXXX XXXX sent me, when this debt was being disputed they said they were trying to repossess the automobile and that pursuant to the fraudulent security interest I signed thinking I was doing a bona fide extension of consumer credit turned out to be fraud. I have been the victim of fraud fact ;, I have been abused by a debt collector engaging in unfair practices, fact ; Pursuant to 15 USC 1692a ( 2 ) the term communication means any conveying of information regarding a debt directly or indirectly to any person through any medium. Any meaning no restriction, and medium includes any oral, written, electronic, or other medium. Therefore, sending statements, letters congratulating the consumer of their new vehicle purchase, responding back to these complaints pushing the agenda that these alleged debts are indeed owed. Reporting this information on my consumer credit report pertaining to the details of the transactions or payments is a violation of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDPCA ). Pursuant to 15 USC 1692c ( c ) I am hereby providing you formal notice to cease any further communications regarding this account immediately. This includes but is not limited to phone calls, emails, social media, or any Consumer Reporting Agency. Any future correspondences from your corporation, with the exception of communication of you confirming your acknowledgement of this letter, is in violation of the fair Debt Collection Practices Act. If you do not cease communication a affidavit will be drafted containing attached documents and correspondences and a lawsuit will be commenced upon you. CFPB complaint number : XXXX,
