This debt collector has engaged in conduct that violates the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ). They are reporting an account that I did not authorize, and no signed agreement exists bearing my signature to validate any obligation. A legally binding contract requires clear consent from all parties, which is absent in this case. Additionally, the collector has failed to provide proper validation of the alleged debt as required under the FDCPA. Without sufficient documentation verifying the debts legitimacy, their continued reporting and collection efforts are unlawful. These actions constitute violations of my consumer rights. As a result, I demand the immediate deletion of this account from all reporting agencies. Failure to comply may result in further legal action, including claims for damages.

At the moment of repossession of this specific vehicle, I was actively inside the vehicle and towed away in the car. I sent videos and called the sales person that sold me the vehicle and told them that I was actively in the car while being towed in Texas, that is kidnapping. XXXX XXXX withheld the tow companies information along with the tower from XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX until after the statue of limitations were up so that I could not make a civil matter to retrieve my personal property and or rights for being kidnapped while in the vehicle When I made a police report, they lied to the police and told him that the vehicle wasnt stolen although they had kidnapped me while I was in the vehicle. Which means they made a false report to the police because in Texas towing someone while in a vehicle is looked at as kidnapping.…

I am submitting a complaint regarding a vehicle I purchased from XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX at XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX. Shortly after purchasing my XXXX XXXX XXXX, I began experiencing mechanical issues that are covered under the warranty provided at the time of sale. The primary issue is a defective water pump, which has caused my vehicle to overheat and has made it unsafe and unreliable to drive. I promptly attempted to follow the warranty process and submit a service request for repairs. However, during this process, I learned that the dealership location has permanently closed. Since then, obtaining assistance has been extremely difficult and disorganized. Despite multiple attempts to seek guidance and have my warranty claim addressed, I have received no clear communication regarding the next steps to have my vehicle repaired. As a result, I have been left without reliable transportation and without the warranty services that I was promised at the time of purchase.…

I am disputing the inaccurate reporting of a 30-day late payment on my auto loan account with XXXX XXXX XXXX for XX/XX/XXXX. My vehicle, which was purchased through Americas XXXX Car Mart in XXXX, Georgia, was stolen in XX/XX/XXXX. Immediately after the theft, I filed a police report and began the insurance claim process so that my insurance company could pay off the remaining balance of the loan. After reporting the theft, I was contacted by an employee at Americas XXXX Car Mart who instructed me to complete a form on their website that would place the account on hold while the insurance claim was being processed. I was specifically told that by completing this process, I would not be penalized or reported late during the insurance payout period. I followed those instructions exactly as directed and submitted the required form. Despite this, XXXX XXXX XXXX reported my account as 30 days delinquent in XX/XX/XXXX.…

Hello, Colonial Auto Americas Car Mart in XXXX Ky, XXXX sold me a XXXX XXXX XXXX and it was complete junk. They wouldn't accept the car back after the car and title was left on there car lot. They then put it down as a repossession. I have tried to contact everyone of the companies that they keep referring me to and it's leading me no where. I now can't get a new vehicle and my XXXX XXXX has dropped tremendously because of this issue. The car amount was {$16000.00} and the amount left on the " loan '' is {$11000.00}. The date the account opened was XX/XX/year>, the account was closed XX/XX/year>. I have tried to dispute it and nothing happens. If you could reach out that would be great. Thanks

I obtained a {$19000.00} loan for a XXXX XXXX XXXX. At the time of purchase, the dealer promised to replace the front window and redo the brakes ; these repairs were never completed. I made all payments in good faith, expecting the dealer to honor these commitments. Management later changed, and the new manager was never informed of the promised repairs. The vehicle then developed transmission issues. I was told the problems would be addressed, but no mechanic was on-site, and I was left without a vehicle for days while waiting for service. Despite my attempts to resolve these issues, the vehicle was repossessed. I was not given adequate opportunity to retrieve or redeem the vehicle. After the repossession, I was informed of a remaining balance of {$7400.00}, which I assume reflects the sale of the vehicle at auction 12 days after repossession. I believe the balance is unfair given the unfulfilled promises, lack of timely repairs, and limited opportunity to recover the vehicle.

The companys response confirms that they are unable to identify or verify the alleged account in question. Despite this, the account continues to be reported on my credit file. Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, a furnisher is required to conduct a reasonable investigation and ensure the accuracy of the information being reported. If the company can not identify or verify the account, it should not be reporting it at all. Their request for additional information from me further demonstrates that they do not have sufficient records to validate the account. This is not compliant with their obligations under federal law. At this point, the continued reporting of an account that the company can not identify constitutes inaccurate and unverifiable reporting. I am requesting the immediate deletion of this account from all credit reporting agencies due to the companys inability to verify or substantiate the debt.

I am filing this complaint regarding inaccurate and inconsistent credit reporting by XXXX XXXX XXXX. This account is being reported with a repossession status and a balance that I dispute as inaccurate. The information being furnished is inconsistent across credit reporting agencies and continues to be updated despite prior disputes. I previously disputed this account and requested validation, including a complete payment history, the original contract, and documentation proving the companys authority to report and collect on this account. The company failed to provide sufficient documentation to verify the accuracy of the information being reported. Despite being placed on notice, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX report this account without properly validating the debt or correcting inaccuracies. This constitutes a failure to conduct a reasonable investigation and to ensure maximum possible accuracy under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ).…

My car was repossessed in XXXX or XX/XX/year>. I filed bankruptcy to get car back. When I went to get the car I noticed all of my personal belongings were not in it. I asked them who had my personal belongings and they gave me the information. I contacted the tow company and my personal belongings and they said they would call me back but never did and Everytime I called I got the run around. My belongings totaled around {$2000.00}. It was all my clothes and shoes and an XXXX XXXX. Along with a steam cleaner and stand up fan. After I got the car back a month later the motor died. I told them where to pick up the car. It was at an auto shop in XXXX XXXX, XXXX. XXXX advised motor had died and needed a new one. I advised mechanic it was ok to release vehicle to XXXX, which is the place I purchased vehicle. I had car for less than a year. They have a negative remark on my credit report.…

Car Mart has the dollar amount incorrect on my credit report so according to the law if anything is incorrect it all has to be removed from credit report so car mart needs to remove everything from all credit bureaus and also since the car had several issues not disclosed to me at the purchase they need to refund {$3800.00} to me please do your job and make sure both things happen in the next 2 weeks

This account is a repossession that was reported and later verified on my credit report. After the repossession, I requested documentation including notice of sale, sale date, sale price, and a full breakdown of the deficiency balance. I did not receive any response or documentation from the company. Despite this, the account continues to be reported with a remaining balance. Without providing the required repossession and sale documentation, the accuracy and legality of this balance can not be verified. I am requesting that the company provide full documentation or remove this account from my credit report.

I am submitting a response to the companys statement provided in reply to my complaint. While the response states that I was informed the company does not pick up vehicles for repairs but does repossess delinquent vehicles, that is not consistent with the information that was communicated to me when I contacted Colonial Auto Finance regarding voluntarily surrendering the vehicle. During those communications, I was told that the company does not repossess vehicles and would not come collect the car. This statement directly affected my understanding of my options regarding the account. The companys response now confirms that they do in fact repossess vehicles if the account is delinquent. This contradicts the information that was previously provided to me and is one of the primary issues raised in my complaint. Additionally, the companys response does not address several other concerns that were raised.…

Case was closed, need the negative account removed from my credit report.

I purchased a XXXX from a company called CarMart. This was my third vehicle from them. The first one I paid off. The second one they helped me out with and took it back in because after purchase it spent a month in their shop. In return they put me in the XXXX. The XXXX then started having problems too and I couldn't afford to keep paying them to fix the car I just bought. After a while of trying to contact someone I find out they went into new management. I go to speak with someone there and first talk with a gentleman who has me sign a document of returning the vehicle and at no cost to me since it was directly in line with why they went into new management. A moment later a lady comes in and has me sign something else saying they will take in the car. Over a year later I check my credit report. I see they put a lien on me for {$7000.00}. I contact them and speak with this guy who was extremely rude about everything and said I would need to talk to the collection agency.…

On XX/XX/year>, I contacted XXXX XXXX XXXX to request a voluntary repossession of my vehicle due to financial hardship. In multiple written email communications on that date, a representative of XXXX XXXX XXXX explicitly stated : We are not coming to pick up the car. We dont pick up vehicles.

FCRA Violation Illegal Re-Aging and Inaccurate Reporting of Auto Repossession I am filing a formal complaint regarding an auto repossession being reported by Americas Car-Mart that appears to violate the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), specifically 623 ( a ) ( 5 ) and 623 ( b ). The account was repossessed in XXXX. However, my XXXX credit report shows this account continuing to report monthly RPO ( repossession ) activity and balance updates through XXXX and XXXX. This ongoing reporting creates the appearance of a more recent delinquency and is inconsistent with the actual date of first delinquency. Under the FCRA, furnishers are prohibited from re-aging accounts or reporting inaccurate dates of delinquency. A repossession is a one-time event, not a recurring monthly status, and continued monthly updates years later constitute misleading and inaccurate reporting.…

I am submitting this complaint regarding a wrongful and invalid repossession of my vehicle, a XXXX XXXX XXXX, by Americas Car-Mart in XX/XX/XXXX, along with their subsequent refusal to correct the issue and inaccurate reporting of a repossession to the credit bureaus. At the time my vehicle was repossessed, I only owed approximately {$1000.00} remaining on the loan and was about three months away from paying the vehicle off. My account was current, and I had not been notified of any valid default. Events on the Day of Repossession When my vehicle was repossessed, I immediately went to the dealership to find out why. The general manager at the time, XXXX, refused to speak with me directly. I was forced to communicate through an account manager. I was first told the repossession was due to a past due balance, which was false because my account was current.…

America 's Carmart issued a right to cure letter dated XX/XX/XXXX. It stated the amount now due was {$190.00} and the last day for payment was XX/XX/XXXX. On XX/XX/XXXX I sent and they accepted a payment of {$200.00}. That same night, about 3 hours after payment was made, a repossession company attempted to take the vehicle from my work parking lot. That's after payment was made 4 days before the payment date on the right to cure notice. The repossession company breached the peace entering my job and talking to guards, coworkers, and my supervisors. After going outside with him, he refused to leave the property alone when asked. Then I noticed he had the wrong car hooked up. I went back inside, clocked out, and went home. The next morning, yet another attempt to repossess the car was made.…

Americas Car-Mart XXXX XXXX, GA ) is inaccurately reporting a XXXX repossession despite its prior material breach of contract and failure to properly investigate. The Retail Installment Contract required the dealership to inspect the vehicle prior to repair. I brought the vehicle in for inspection, but instead of repairing or diagnosing the issue, the dealership cleared diagnostic trouble codes without correcting the underlying mechanical defects, then returned the vehicle. This temporarily concealed defects and did not constitute good-faith performance. I provided the diagnostic paperwork from the referred Auto repair shop, Americas Car-Mart repeatedly denied receiving it and failed to investigate. Also failed to accurately document all visits to the dealership in regards to mechanical complications. The vehicle continued to experience serious mechanical failures, including shutting down in traffic on multiple occasions, making it unsafe and unreliable.…
