Consumer Narrative
In XX/XX/year>, I went to XXXX XXXX ( XXXX, FL ) to purchase a vehicle. I intended to pay in cash, but I was pressured into financing by their salesperson XXXX XXXX. He and the dealership staff altered the loan terms without my knowledge, leaving me in a predatory loan. Key details : The dealership inflated the loan balance and payments far beyond the agreed terms. I later discovered I was left over {$20000.00} upside down on the loan from day one. The dealership, through XXXX XXXX, had access to my SSN and drivers license, which were later used without authorization to open a fraudulent gambling account in my name. This has caused ongoing identity theft and financial harm totaling approximately {$230000.00} between fraudulent accounts and losses. The loan provider ( XXXX XXXX XXXX is continuing to enforce a contract that was entered under false pretenses and fraud. Importantly, the salesperson responsible, XXXX XXXX, has since been XXXX and is facing XXXX felony fraud charges in XXXX XXXX XXXX, Florida ( Case No. XXXX ). These criminal charges confirm that this was not a misunderstanding but part of a broader pattern of fraud. XXXX XXXX Sales Manager XXXX XXXX XXXX ) and General Manager ( XXXX XXXX ) oversaw his activity, ignored internal concerns, and failed to protect consumers from fraudulent practices. I am requesting that : 1. The fraudulent auto loan be corrected or cancelled ( billing adjustment ). 2. Any negative credit reporting connected to this loan be removed. 3. I be compensated for damages caused by the fraudulent loan and misuse of my personal information. 4. CFPB conduct a formal investigation into XXXX XXXX sales practices, as this appears to be part of a larger pattern ( numerous XXXX complaints and reviews document similar tactics ).
