I purchased a 2001 Chrysler Cirrus from Joey's Auto Broker's. The car was financed thru Westlake Financial Services. In less than 3 months of having this vehicle, the transmission went bad. I made numerous attempts to let Joey's Auto Brokers know of the problems I was having with the car. I contacted Westlake Financial Service's to advise them of the problem, who not to mention - the customer service was horrible, the representative told me it was my problem and not theirs. I made my payments with no problem and on time, until these problems with the car started occurring.
I took the car to the mechanic shop. The mechanic said the repairs were estimated $2,000.00. I said this is ridiculous. I called Westlake Financial Service's to pick up the car from the mechanic shop. However, Westlake Financial Services did re-sale the car at an auction but fail to remove the balance it sold at off the balance of the car. They ruined my credit. They put it on my credit as a repossession.
I since then have financed 2 cars. My dilemma is when I went to get financed for a car, there is this big fat REPOSSESSION on my credit from Westlake Financial Services. This is not fair! This repossession has been lingering on my credit since 2003. Any suggestions anyone?
