Company: Carvana Group, LLC
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I purchased a used car from Carvana in XX/XX/year> and was told over the phone that the vehicle cost {$22000.00}. However, I later discovered in the Truth in Lending disclosure that the actual total cost was {$35000.00}. The loan was financed through XXXX at an extremely high interest rate of XXXX XXXX, with monthly payments of {$480.00} over XXXX months. 
I have made XXXX on-time payments, totaling over {$22000.00}, but Im still being told I owe nearly {$19000.00}. Carvana never clearly explained the full cost of the loan or disclosed how interest would impact the total repayment amount. I told the sales person on the phone this was my first time purchasing a car. I was in the middle of a divorce from an abusive ex and was crying because my car which was paid off was sent back to me by him with holes all over it making it unsafe to transport our children in. I believe this is deceptive and possibly predatory. 
I was in a vulnerable position due to an abusive relationship and needed transportation immediately. Carvana representatives assured me they were helping, but I now believe I was misled about the true financial impact. 
I am requesting the CFPB investigate Carvana for potentially deceptive lending practices and misleading consumers regarding vehicle pricing and loan terms.

Complaint narrative:
The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( XXXX ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system. So whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of TILA US Code 1666B since I was never late. " I recently reviewed my consumer report and noticed an incorrect late payment record. I have always maintained timely payments on this account. Under the Fair Credit Billing Act ( FCBA ) and the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ), creditors are required to accurately report consumer transactions and provide a mechanism for correcting errors in a timely manner. Please conduct an investigation into this matter, and if you can not provide documentary evidence of these supposed late payments, I demand these payments to be updated to on time as they should be as I was NEVER late. I expect these updates to be made promptly, in compliance with the law.
