Complaint narrative:
Dear Sir/Madam, I am writing to formally request the following documents and information related to the repossession of my vehicle with VIN [ Vehicle Identification Number or account number ].

Pre-Repossession Notice ( UCC 9-611 ) : Please provide a copy of the pre-repossession notice that was sent to me. Under the Uniform Commercial Code ( UCC ) 9-611, I am entitled to receive written notice of the default and any actions I could take to prevent repossession, including the opportunity to cure the default. The notice should also provide information on how to remedy the situation prior to repossession, if applicable.Letter Regarding Retrieval of Personal Belongings ( UCC 9-613 ) : I request a copy of the letter or notice that informed me of my rights regarding the retrieval of personal belongings from the vehicle after it was repossessed.

If you fail to provide these documents, or if the repossession process was not conducted in compliance with applicable state and federal laws, I will take appropriate action, including disputing any negative information related to this repossession on my credit report and seeking legal recourse for non-compliance.Please be advised that failure to comply with these requests may result in a formal complaint being filed with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) and the Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ) for violations of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ), and the Uniform Commercial Code ( UCC ) .Thank you for your immediate attention to this matter.
