Complaint narrative:
Those payments were made on time. I am requesting that the late payment markings be updated to reflect my accurate payment history. If there is any confusion, I suggest you contact myself or the customer service representative of the said accounts. Despite the multiple previous written requests, the unverified item listed below still remains on my credit report in violation of Federal Law. You are required under the FCRA to have a copy of the original creditors documentation on file to verify that this information is 100 % true, accurate & correct. XXXX XXXX XXXX was reporting inaccurate information on my credit report in violation of Federal Law. This was frustratingly unacceptable, in accordance with FCRA you must provide accurate information accordingly.

Complaint narrative:
XXXX of XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX FL XXXX XXXX XX/XX/2022 is the date if the initial transaction. 
I purchased a vehicle for XXXX I bought the vehicle as a cpo ( certified pre owned XXXX ) and the Bussiness was committed to honor the cpo status of the vehicle for 2 years or XXXX miles and thats after the new vehicle manufacturer warranty expired and it just did at XXXX i bought the vehicle with XXXX miles on it and have supporting documents that the vehicle was advertised to be CPO. On the two other occasions, that CPO status was active and I didnt have any other issues. The issue at hand is that last Thursday I took my vehicle to XXXX to get its XXXX mile service that is already pre-paid for called XXXX care. XXXX care is completely separate from cpo status. Upon arrival I was informed that my vehicle is not showing a active CPO status. The technician took me to the finance manager ( XXXX ) and he pulled up the deal and he confirmed that I purchased the vehicle as a CPO and that the CPO status should be active from there. He called the used car sales manager ( XXXX ) and ask, did you remember me buying this car as a certified vehicle he said yes, this is the only reason why he bought it was because it was certified so XXXX asks XXXX is it OK if we let them go and figure it out in the XXXX and he said yeah, of course. So the next morning I get a call from the service technician his name is XXXX stating that XXXX the general manager of the dealership said that hes not allowed to service my vehicle and I need to drop the loaner off immediately and pick up my car.. now mind you I bought two cars from this particular dealership and both of my vehicles get service here and the last time I brought my car the status was active. So now Im in complete confusion seeing that Ive never been treated such so I tell XXXX to have XXXX the XXXX call me he never calls me and Monday I get a call from the service manager. His name is XXXX and he tells me that I need to drop his loaner off immediately or hes gon na call the police on me and hes not playing. I asked him to give me some insight on why my car is not reflecting active standing, and he tells me that he does not care about that. All he cares about is loner and drop it off immediately extremely rude. He tells me to take it up with sales now mind you Im not buying a car so I shouldnt have to take it up with sales. This is something that was active a couple months ago and now its not active. Theres some type of air going on, but they did not try to help me fix it whatsoever. They were extremely rude and threaten me with the police and I drop my car off to get serviced and I picked it up still needing to be serviced and the CPO status is still in active

Company: Westlake Services, LLC

Complaint narrative:
My vehicle was towed on XX/XX/XXXX at XXXX XXXX. I was not sure why the vehicle was towed because the vehicle was paid off. I purchased the car from US Auto Sales located at XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX. After XXXX their information, I reached out to Westlake Debt Collection Company and was told I was behind on payments and that needed to pay an outstanding amount if I wanted my vehicle. The information that Westlake provided me with as far as my address was not correct. The address I was told that the vehicle was towed from was located in Tennessee and I have never lived in Tennessee. I was asked for an address, social security number, and other personal information that they did not have on file in an attempt to get specific information to try and attach to the documents that they were emailed to me. Westlake Portfolio has not reached out to me via mail, the email address that they have on file is outdated and the vehicle was towed from a completely different address than what they have provided to me. I was hung up on several times by their representatives and this company is located in California. Westlake portfolio stated that US Auto Sales was bankrupt in XXXX and closed down in XXXX. I was still making payments on this vehicle at that time and up until XX/XX/XXXX. US Auto Sales have not reached out to relay any information pertaining to this matter. I have attempted to access my online account with US Auto Sales to see my payment history and that information is no longer available to be accessed. I have attached my bank statements to show proof of payments because Westlake 's portfolio stated that I have not made any payments as they know of. US Auto Sales has closed out my account and reported it to the credit bureau as a paid-in-full and closed-out account. The information provided to me by Westlake is information the same information I was asked to verify my account with them. US Auto Sales is also the original lien holder.
