Consumer Narrative

I purchased a XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX in XXXX of XXXX. It was financed through Chrysler Capital. The account number is/wasXXXX. I was a XXXX XXXX in the XXXX XXXX at that time and had let my father handle my finances while I was working in the legislature including paying bills such as this. My family learned he had XXXX XXXX XXXX in XXXX of XXXX and that he had not been paying my bills due to the memory issues. I immediately called Chrysler Capitol as part of trying to address this and other bill issue. The loan was 90 days late at that point. I explained the situation to Chrysler Capital, I paid to bring the loan current, including the late fees, and put the loan on an automatic payment plan. I was not told there was a problem with my loan and there was no effort ever made to repossess the vehicle. I made onetime payments for the next 3 years until XXXX of XXXX when I checked my credit and discovered that the loan had been charged off in XXXX of XXXX. I was never given any notice of this or any opportunity to pay off the vehicle, refinance with another lender or otherwise correct the problem before there was a charge off. There was never any attempt to repossess the vehicle. Yet Chrysler reported the loan as charged off for 2 years, did not report anything for an additional 3rd year and had the balance listed incorrectly. All the while they were accepting my onetime payments and making interest off the loan while at the same time writing off the loan on their taxes. This greatly impacted my credit score and my ability to get a home loan. I tried, unsuccessfully, to get the matter corrected. All they did was to report the additional months of the loan being charged off and corrected the balance to show the lower amount from 3 years of on-time payments. That actually made my credit score worse. I ultimately paid off the vehicle in XXXX of XXXX to avoid further negative reporting. They should not have been able to both charge off my loan and accept payments onetime for 36 months after the charge off and report my loan as charged off each month. They basically got to double dip by getting the loan payments and interest - on time and got the tax write off for charging off the loan while negatively affecting my credit all that time and for the foreseeable future. I am seeking to get the negative reporting removed as the I was never given notice the loan was charged off, never given the opportunity to sell, pay off or otherwise prevent the charge off and I made the onetime payments for the 36 months after the problem occurred.
