Product: Payday loan, title loan, personal loan, or advance loan — Title loan
Issue: Charged fees or interest you didn't expect — 
Company: Westlake Services, LLC
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
My car was repossessed on XX/XX/2024. I made a payment of {$290.00} to bring the account up-to-date since the representative stated that the account would be charged off as of XX/XX/XXXX. On XX/XX/XXXX I paid {$850.00} even. I was told if I made that payment, it would include repo fees and the amount to get my car back from repossession. I was also told the payment needed to be made through XXXX, which I did make that payment. Now I have a balance of {$490.00} that I owe Wilshire Consumer credit/Westlake financial . I spoke with a representative on XX/XX/2024 to go over the {$490.00} balance. The representative proceeded to tell me that the {$90.00} was late fees which they should have requested me to pay back on XX/XX/XXXX in order to get my car back, but they did not. The representative also told me that the {$400.00} was repossession fees which is not what I was told on XX/XX/XXXX when I paid the {$850.00}. Several agents I spoke with between XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX since making the payment of {$850.00} told me that the repo fee was paid and included in the amount I paid. I was told the repossession fees would be included in that amount so I went ahead to make the payment as I was requested by Wilshire. Since the beginning of me contacting these people, I have been lied to time and time again about this loan and the fees included even about the repossession all together. No one has given me a straight answer when I call. My car was even damaged in the process and I know if I call to ask about it they will make up a lie or just not cover it which will cost me {$1500.00} to repair. This company is doing shady business and putting additional fees on people account after they tell the consumer a different answer.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account status incorrect
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: UT

Complaint narrative:
I reached out to Equifax regarding their reporting of XXXX Account XXXX which they are reporting as a charge-off and an open balance of {$540.00}. 

I submitted a dispute for this account as I had paid off this balance and their had agreed to remove this account from my credit reports. 

However, equifax completed their research and indicated that the account is still unpaid and has an outstanding balance and has a " Charge-Off '' status. 

I reached out to XXXX and inquired about the results stated by Equifax and they indicated that they fulfilled the terms or our agreement, to report this account and paid and remove it from my credit report. I also reached out to their collections department, and they indicated they have nothing pending in their records. 

How is it that Equifax concluded the account was still open with an outstanding balance when the Creditor has reported this as paid and removed from CRA 's file? Additionally, Equifax has blocked me from filing a dispute on this account in their system. 

I believe their investigation was flawed and still has errors. This is a violation of the FCRA and my privacy rights.
