Borrowers with current loan accounts have their vehicles repossessed with no valid justification provided by the lender. Banks and auto lenders provide no advance notice or explanation, leaving borrowers without transportation and with damaged credit. The complaint has no effective internal resolution path, requiring CFPB intervention.
