I was contacted today from an agency that threatened to press criminal charges against me for an auto loan that was included in a bankruptcy that I filed in XX/XX/XXXX. The call came from XXXX, and when I called them back, the automatic answering system announced the company as XXXX XXXX XXXX. I purchased a XXXX XXXX XXXX in XX/XX/XXXX from XXXX XXXX. They found me financing through United Acceptance. In XX/XX/XXXX, I allowed the car to get repossessed because it had too many problems for my to fix. XXXX XXXX had my current address at the time, and one of the neighbors told me that they saw a tow truck marked " not for hire '' tow it from my driveway. In XX/XX/XXXX, I filed a chapter XXXX bankruptcy, with XXXX. XXXX as the law firm. This debt was included in the bankruptcy and, while speaking with this law firm today, they assured me that this loan is included in that chapter XXXX. They recommended that I file a complaint with the appropriate government agency, which is this one. However, the company that called me today was insistent that this debt had dropped off the bankruptcy, and was now eligible for criminal proceedings. The man I talked to said that they were going to charge me with " intent to defraud a financial institution '' and one other charge that I couldn't quite get the gist of. He also mentioned felony theft. I called back a second time, after speaking with the chapter XXXX attorney, to speak with them again, and asked what specifically the charges were going to be, and they said that I would set that in the summons. This also sounded odd because, as I understand it, a summons won't be issued for a " felony theft '' crime. A warrant will be issued, and an officer will come to my house or work to take me to jail.

I bought a car from buy here pay here, I paid on the car for so long and was on time and they seen that I was a great creditor always paid on time and sometimes more, I was told that my long was being turned over to a bank, so I signed the papers thinking that that would help my credit but it was turned over to a finance company, my interest rate went sky High and turn to a upside down loan on the vehicle, then the vehicle was no longer drivable, as long as I was with the company they would fix it because they wanted their money, but once I was on my own with the finance company, I was stuck with a used vehicle that had been bought from an auction, It finally costed me a little over {$1400.00} to fix it and it costed me {$1400.00} to pay it off, so I requested that they come and secure their property there was no way that I could fix the vehicle and make payments at the same time so the best thing for me to do was to ( surrender ) relinquish the vehicle, they sold the vehicle for {$300.00}, I had {$800.00} worth of tires on the vehicle because I kept the maintenance up I want to road ready, brand new starter, brand new battery, all the whole works brand new rims, brand new rotors all the way around, they never contacted me to negotiate how we could resolve the issue they just sold the vehicle and I was stuck with the balance and I didn't sign up for my vehicle to be sold to a finance company I thought I was with a bank and I would have went the whole 100 with them.

I received information from you attempting to collect the above-listed alleged debt. Your initial communication to me of the alleged-debt was within 30 days ago. Please be further advised, I dispute the validity of the alleged debt in its entirety. Further I request verification of the alleged debt, including, the name and address of the original creditor, along with a copy of a signed contract with the creditor.Additionally any attempts to harm my credit history and rating by updating or changing dates after you have been informed that the debt is expired, is a direct violation of the FDCPA. Any abuse to my credit rating on your part will be met with all recourse available to me by the law. You are illegally attempting to collect an alleged debt and money that I do not owe. As per the law, cease and desist all collection activity, including credit reporting. I have disputed this alleged debt with the credit bureaus and it came back verified i have since then contacted the company and haven't received a response. Where are the documents that your company used to verify that you are reporting these accounts accurately? What is the name of the person in your company who verified the accuracy of this account? What documents did they use to verify them? Please provide me with the name of that individual, their company title, and telephone number as well as copies of the documents that they used to verify that this disputed item are being reported accurately.

This account is reported late payment on all my credit bureaus I paid this car on time never late for 2 years.i then only had 2 payments left which was about {$850.00} I traded the car in with the same dealership I got the car from and was told the check toward the credit company United Acceptance will be sent next day and paid off. I signed for a new vehicle and drove off. I called every few. Days to make sure everything was paid off and was told it will be handled that day.. 2 weeks went by and was told it was sent off ... I later found out I had a late payment on my credit report .. I have tried to dispute this for a year now. This is not my fault I believe!! I even told the dealer and they said you can easily dispute this As you see on attached file, it was closed " PAID '' off in XXXX so it only makes sense of my issue I also need this to state PAID NOT CLOSED!!! I paid 2 years to pay this account off

A woman name XXXX called from ( XXXX ) XXXX and left a voicemail stating she is going to put a hold on my bank account, tax return and my properties. She didn't explain anything other than what was said before and that I should call her at ( XXXX ) XXXX. When I called the number she stated I owed over {$16000.00} for a XXXX XXXX which was repossessed that I owe a balance on. The vehicle was never repossessed and I never received anything in writing or mail from United Acceptance ( car loan company that XXXX XXXX in XXXX, mo sold loan too ) stating they were filing a suit or anything. I don't like being threatened or left threatening incomplete messages and would like for the calls to stop. They have my address so they should mail paperwork to my home.

I've wrote two letters to UNITED ACCEPTANCE for proof of a debt that have no recollection of that reporting on my credit report and never received any proof and is still reporting on my credit report. Required under the Fair Credit Reporting Act to have copy of the original documentation on file to verify the debt is mine. United Acceptance have not provided me any original documentation as required under section 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) & section 611 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ). They sent me two letters back saying that they verified that the debt is mine but no documentation. They proceeded by sending the debt to XXXX XXXX XXXX and now they are reporting the same debt on my credit report and also contacting me about the same debt.

I had a car loan with United Acceptance beginning in XXXX. During the government shutdown in XXXX, it resulted in me falling behind and I was not able to recover from that. Eventually around this same time, or no later than XXXX, the car was eventually repossessed. They eventually sold the car at auction and my account was XXXX out. They are no indicating that I made a payment in XXXX, which I do not believe was the case. It has continued to report on my credit reports. I have contacted them in an effort to get this resolved but they appear to be unwilling to resolve this matter. At this time this debt appears to be obsolete and with a XXXX balance showing what more would they required from me?

XX/XX/19- I have had 2 calls back to back within 2 minutes from the same company about finishing paying for my car. The first call got ignored and second I answered. I also got a voicemail from the first call about collecting the rest of the note. I answered the 2nd call and told them I just got a call from them and listened to the voicemail and also told them they were harassing me. I get calls every week which I'm ok with but same day and within a matter of minutes was not ok. I told them I am paying it soon. I have talked to the manager before letting them know of my situation and she said she noted it several times. The company is United acceptance.

The debt collector repeatedly reopens my account and claims I have excessive missed payments. The claims far go beyond my possession of their tangible property that was sold at auction subsequent to my repossession to them. The debt collector also has not given me any proof that it was sold for a lessor amount than the debt originally owed and I have proof of such sale intent letter. I only had the tangible property 6 weeks after contract was made and the tangible property was repossessed. I think this company is using unfair practices.

United Acceptance is reporting this vehicle, which was a voluntary repossession, wrong. They are showing a Balance of {$9200.00} and a Past Due of {$13000.00}. This makes no sense. We should owe the balance of what they sold the car for minus what we owed on it. If we owed {$9200.00} then the past due MUST be less than {$9200.00}. This makes no sense. Please have it report correctly
