Voluntary auto repossession triggers duplicate reporting and unverified fee stacking

After a voluntary vehicle surrender, a lender reports the same account twice on credit reports (as late payments and as repossession), applies an unverified deficiency balance, tacks on an unauthorized repossession fee, inflates auction costs, miscalculates post-sale interest, and denies owed GAP/service-contract refunds. This bundles multiple accounting and disclosure failures into one repossession dispute.
