On or about XX/XX/2020 the city of XXXX came in to XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, CA XXXX ( XXXX XXXX XXXX ) and forced us to close due to corona virus threat. On or about XX/XX/2020 I was contacted by a representative of Model Finance Company regarding my due payment. Arrangements were made as follows : XXXX payment deferred at a cost of {$64.00} for interest fees of that month payable by XX/XX/2020, XXXX bill deferred for free. Today XX/XX/2020 at about XXXX pst I had a 1 minute conversation with a representative of Model Finance Company . I was asked to pay what I owe. I was asked why I wasnt receiving unemployment insurance benefits ( because the government promised to pay out of work self-employers ) the representative stated. I was asked if I had really applied. I was told he didnt like my attitude and then he told me, I was going to offer you some payment arrangements but now XXXX XXXX and I yelled XXXX XXXX back as he was hanging up in my face. I waited 2 minutes before calling back and asking to speak with a supervisor so I could file a formal complaint and request information on filing for harassment. I spoke with another man whom also refused to identify himself as he felt offended by my indignant response to his questions I believed to be unrelated as I was already exhausted from everything going on with the pandemic and being forcefully out of work. The gentleman then resolved to reposes my motorcycle that Ive never missed a payment on prior to this pandemic.

My Vehicle was repossessed a few years ago. In the state of XXXX the finance company must send do a few things. First is let you get your personal belongings out of the vehicle, which they did not. You also have your right to redeem the car. your right to reinstate the loan. If the creditor is selling the car at a private sale, the date of the sale if the creditor is selling the car at an auction, the date, time, and location of the sale, and a calculation of the deficiency balance ( or surplus, if applicable ), including a description of fees and charges. The creditor Mailed information to a wrong address. They mailed a letter to the address they picked up the vehicle, not the address on our contract. I asked them why they changed the mailing address and they have no record of why they changed it. I have proof of the mistake they made. My address was located in the city of XXXX. They mailed it to XXXX XXXX which was returned to them. I will attach copy of the letter they sent me with the wrong address on it. If you request a copy of my contract it will have another address listed. This should be deleted from my report since all the notice they sent was to the wrong address.

I filed my XXXX paperwork back in XXXX of XXXX. XXXX has failed to update my counts or expected payment amount and we are running close to the end of the deferment period. I'm trying to plan financially, but I am unable to because of the lack of information from XXXX. Calls to XXXX have been fruitless as I have been repeatedly lied to. I have spent countless hours on the phone trying to get this resolved only to be told that my account will be updated by " the end of this month. '' Or in " 90 business days. It is 8 months running now that I have been told this and the 90 business days have long passed, but my XXXX counts are still not available. XXXX has recently started telling me that they're waiting on confirmation from XXXX XXXX XXXX, so I called them. They were adamant that XXXX is responsible for this, and not them. Another lie. Having the company that is currently embroiled in a lawsuit with the federal government to block the debt relief in charge of administrating the XXXX program is a clear conflict of interest and their inaction proves it.

I 've sent multiple letters to this agency about this not being my account. After being advised by identitytheft.gov I 've completed and sent a fraud affidavit via certified mail. I can see they received it but nothing has changed. See supporting documents. even the USPS tracking. I am a victim of identity theft and noticed a collection from MODEL FINANCE COMPANY. I 've attempted to dispute multiple times, however, no response on their end. Not sure what else to do. The police department told me to contact the federal trade commission which I wrote a formal complaint against MODEL FINANCE COMPANY in regards to this matter. The FTC also instructed me to complete and theft affidavit through identity theft.gov. Attached is my document. Thank you

I Had a vehicle repossessed about 4 years ago. I would like this account deleted on my credit reports. After they took the vehicle I was never given an inventory letter for my possessions in the vehicle, and never received notice before selling the car, " your lender must provide you with a notice at least 15 days before the sale date. In order to collect a deficiency, the notice must be given within 60 days of the repossession, and must include certain information, including your rights regarding reinstating the loan or redeeming the vehicle.

I had no part in the financing or application for financing for the recreational vehicle for which he says a debt is owed.

XX/2015 I voluntarily surrendered my vehicle in question to Model Finance, this is the first thing they are showing incorrectly. Second I was never late on a payment. Third they have sold this account to a collection agency XXXX XXXX XXXX so now Model Finance and XXXX XXXX XXXX are showing on my credit reports. I have disputed this several times through the credit bureau 's and called Model Finance on many occasions to no avail. I 'm not saying its not my account, just one needs to be removed or the other reporting correctly.

MODEL FINANCE sold my debt I owed them to XXXX XXXX XXXX. MODEL FINANCE is still showing a debt owed to them as well as XXXX XXXX XXXX showing a debt. Both are reporting on my credit report. So now if/when I apply for any type of loan or credit it looks as if I owe 2 different companies an unpaid debt, when in actuality its only XXXX XXXX XXXX that I owe the debt to since MODEL FINANCE no longer owns this debt.
