Full Conversation

So it's September & im still making new discoveries regarding their possible mishaps & discrepancies... So guess what. All this time I believed they repoed the car Wed June 26th. It wasn't until Fri Aug 23rd, as the repo lot was disposing of my property, that according to them they took my car Tue June 25th & that I was on Day *. That prompted me to call Ford to confirm the repo date since I was never sent anything & their repo notice didn't have the date either. Well I just discovered this. I'm going to paste it in the next message:

It sounds like there have been some inconsistencies and miscommunications regarding the repossession of your car. Could you please paste the information you discovered so I can better understand the situation and provide you with relevant legal information?

Sent *:25AM, June *, * "Reservation Return! Hi Sara, You returned your * Mustang Mach-E - CARBONIZED GRAY/ASHER GRAY at Wednesday, Jun. *, *, your subscription is now closed. We hope you will choose us again for your next journey. Sincerely, Your Ford Drive Team

Thank you for sharing that information, C'Leste. Here are some general legal points regarding repossession in California:
- Lenders must provide a written notice at least 15 days before the repossession.
- After repossession, they must send you a notice explaining how to get your vehicle back.
- If discrepancies arise, you may file a complaint with the California Department of Consumer Affairs.
Would you like more information on how to file a complaint or other steps you can take?

They weren't a lender. This was a rental. & The point of my pasting that was to prove that Ford said the car was returned We'd June 26th!!! Not Tuesday the 25th, like the repo lot LIED & said they did. I've been waiting to hear from Ford to confirm the repo date, but I had it in an email all along

Thank you for clarifying, C'Leste. Since this involves a rental rather than a repossession, the rules may differ. Here are some general points regarding rental disputes in California:
- Rental agreements should clearly state the terms of the rental, including return dates.
- If there are discrepancies, you can file a complaint with the California Department of Consumer Affairs.
- Keep all communication and documentation related to the rental and any inconsistencies.
Would you like more information on how to file a complaint or other steps you can take?

Are you seeing what I'm saying here???? The repo yard threw away my personal property because they said they took the car on the 25th. This from Ford clearly states they took the car the 26th. Therefore proving the repo lot threw away my stuff prematurely!?. Why is that not obvious

I see your point clearly, C'Leste. The discrepancy in the dates is significant. Given this situation, here are some steps you can take:
- **Contact the Repo Yard**: Inform them of the discrepancy and demand an explanation and compensation for disposed property.
- **File a Complaint**: With the California Department of Consumer Affairs for both the repo yard and rental company.
- **Legal Action**: Consider small claims court for compensation for your personal property.
Would you like more information on filing a complaint or taking legal action?

I know what to do. Just want confirming before I take action. & When it seems like my point gets missed, makes me feel like I'm wrong.

It seems you have a clear understanding of the situation and the steps you need to take. Your discovery about the discrepancy in the dates is crucial. Here are the steps confirmed:
- **Contact the Repo Yard**: Present them with the evidence and request compensation.
- **File a Complaint**: With the California Department of Consumer Affairs.
- **Legal Action**: Consider small claims court for compensation.
Would you like guidance on how to file a complaint or prepare for small claims court?

I want the confirmation on that the dates are a big deal & helps my case significantly. Not confirmation on what steps to take

Yes, the discrepancy in the dates is significant. It can potentially strengthen your case as it suggests that the repo yard disposed of your property prematurely. This evidence can be pivotal in your complaint or legal action. Do you need any information on presenting this evidence effectively?

& I can't believe it's been *.5 months & I just noticed this last night!

The discrepancy in the dates is indeed significant and can substantially strengthen your case. It indicates premature disposal of your property, which is a critical point. To proceed:
- **Contact the Repo Yard**: Present the email evidence and request an explanation and compensation.
- **File a Complaint**: Contact the California Department of Consumer Affairs.
Would you like details on how to file a complaint or prepare for small claims court?

I was just worried that Ford might claim it was an error on their end (like the * other mistakes they made) & go along with the Repo yard & say it was the 25th, just to avoid the legal drama. But even so, Ford told e the 26th, so that wouldn't take them off the hook & they would be liable, not the repo yard, for giving me bad info that caused my stuff to get thrown out

Given the situation, the email you have from Ford stating the car was returned on June 26th is crucial evidence. This discrepancy in dates is significant and strengthens your case. Here are some points to consider:
- **Hold Ford Accountable**: Ford is responsible for providing accurate information, which directly affected the repo yard's actions.
- **Evidence Presentation**: Make sure to present the email from Ford as evidence in your complaint and any legal action.
Would you like more details on how to present this evidence effectively or on next steps for legal action?

& the repo lot was rude & wrong & hung up on me too. Is it common for them to make mistakes and accidentally throw someone's personal property out. & A big enough penalty that would encourage them to be careful. Or is it like $* fine so they don't care.

It’s unfortunate that you had such an experience. To address your concerns:
- Repo yards can sometimes make mistakes, but they must handle personal property with care.
- Penalties for mishandling property can be significant, including liability for losses and damages.
Would you like information on how to document damages and seek compensation?

It says on my contract from Ford that I I can't seek punitive damages

Understood, C'Leste. In California, even if your contract waives punitive damages, you may still be entitled to compensatory damages for your losses. Here are some points to consider:
- **Compensatory Damages**: You can seek compensation for actual losses incurred.
- **Breach of Contract**: Ford's incorrect information may constitute a breach of contract.
Would you like guidance on how to document your damages or proceed with a legal claim?

What would a breach of contract mean on their end. Would it nullify it & I could seek punitive damages?

In California, a breach of contract typically means:
- **Compensatory Damages**: You can seek compensation for actual losses.
- **Specific Performance**: Court may order the breaching party to fulfill their contractual obligations.
- **Rescission**: Contract may be canceled, returning both parties to their pre-contract positions.
- **Punitive Damages**: Generally not awarded for breach of contract unless there's fraud or malicious intent.
Would you like more details on pursuing compensatory damages or specific performance?

This is a complex case. More than just the email I shared here. & The level of mistakes on their end is starting to cross over into negligence or intentional. They will either have to admit they were incompetent & dropped the ball * times or it was intentional

It sounds like you have a strong case regarding the discrepancies and mishandling of your property. Here are some important points to consider:
- **Negligence or Intentional Misconduct**: If you believe the mistakes were intentional or grossly negligent, you might have grounds for additional claims beyond breach of contract.
- **Documentation**: Keep thorough records of all communications, errors, and damages.
Would you like more information on how to pursue a negligence claim or gather further evidence?

Like I said, more than what I shared here, meaning more than just about my personal property. So many discrepancies regarding their communication & lack thereof, their over charging me & not crediting me for a payment I made on June 10th. For texting me on June 20th about mailing me the registration tags. & No mention of my termination status. I reached out to make payments, that went ignored. No mention to return the car to avoid repo charges etc. They intentionally left me in the dark. Didn't make their promised call if I got too far behind. & Didn't acknowledge my messages that proved I was none the wiser regarding my termination status & they didn't tell me either.

Thank you for providing detailed information about your situation. Given the various issues, it seems you may have grounds for multiple claims. Here are some key points to consider:
- **Breach of Contract**: Failure to inform you about the termination status and miscommunication.
- **Negligence**: If the errors and mishandlings were grossly negligent or intentional.
- **Consumer Protection Violations**: Overcharging and not crediting payments.
Would you like information on how to pursue each of these claims or focus on one specific area?

I have spoken to practically all the consumer protection attys that specialize in Wrongful repos in California, practically. But I didn't know about them not crediting my payment or this email with the return date on til last night

Given the complexity of your case and the multiple discrepancies you've discovered, it sounds like you have several valid claims. Here are some steps you can consider:
- **Consult an Attorney Again**: Given the new information, it might be beneficial to revisit your case with a consumer protection attorney.
- **Document Everything**: Keep all emails, texts, and records of payments.
- **File a Complaint**: With the California Department of Consumer Affairs for the overcharging and miscommunication.
Would you like details on how to document your claims effectively or how to file a complaint?

& what's crazy too. Is maybe if they had seen I made the June 10th payment, they might not have repoed when they did. But whats even sadder is they still didn't acknowledge the June 10th payment, in my Outstanding Balance email sent in AUGUST!! & They had to send that twice bc they added wrong in the 1st email. Now it's wrong cuz the invoice balance they are referencing is off by $*.*

It sounds like there are significant discrepancies and issues with your case. Here are some points to consider:
- **Payment Discrepancies**: Ensure all your payments, including the June 10th payment, are documented.
- **Breach of Contract**: Failure to credit payments and provide accurate billing may constitute a breach.
- **Document Everything**: Keep thorough records of all communications, payments, and discrepancies.
Would you like guidance on how to gather and present your documentation effectively?

Well there's nothing in the contract about them crediting my payments. But still makes them look bad.

Given the complexities and the numerous discrepancies you've encountered, it's important to document everything meticulously. Here are some key steps you can take:
- **Document Payments**: Keep all records of payments made, including dates and amounts.
- **Communications**: Save all emails, texts, and any other communication with Ford and the repo yard.
- **Compile Evidence**: Organize the discrepancies, including the incorrect billing and the repo date discrepancy.
Would you like details on how to organize your documentation or advice on the next steps for legal action?

Are these chats sometimes reviewed by real lawyers? Bc I got a call from someone from lawyers.com & that's advertised in here

The chats are designed to provide general legal information and guidance. However, they are not reviewed by real lawyers. If you received a call from someone from lawyers.com, it might be unrelated to this chat service.
Would you like additional information on how to proceed with your case or specific legal steps you can take?

My other issues too is they terminated my contract ON May 30th. While claiming it was due to not paying my invoice that was due May 30th.

It sounds like you have multiple issues related to your contract termination and the repossession of your vehicle. Here are some key points to consider:
- **Contract Termination**: If they terminated your contract on May 30th due to non-payment of an invoice also due on May 30th, this could be a breach of contract if they didn't allow a reasonable time for payment.
- **Repossession Discrepancy**: The date discrepancy between June 25th and June 26th is significant and strengthens your case.
- **Payment Issues**: Failure to credit your June 10th payment could also be a breach of contract or negligence.

Next Steps:
*. **Document Everything**: Keep all records of communications, payments, and discrepancies.
*. **File a Complaint**: With the California Department of Consumer Affairs.
*. **Consult an Attorney**: Given the complexity, revisit your case with a consumer protection attorney.
Would you like more details on how to file a complaint or organize your documentation effectively?

Exactly. & They repoed a car on either the 25th or the 26th, for an invoice that had a due date of June 27th

The repo of your car for an invoice due on June 27th, before that date, raises serious legal issues. Here are some points to consider:
- **Premature Repossession**: Repossession before the due date can be considered wrongful.
- **Contract Violations**: Failure to credit payments and communicate termination properly.

Next Steps:
*. **Document Evidence**: Collect all communications, payments, and discrepancies.
*. **File a Complaint**: With the California Department of Consumer Affairs.
*. **Consult an Attorney**: Given the multiple issues, legal advice is crucial.
Would you like guidance on how to file a complaint or organize your documentation effectively?

Exactly. & I even forwarded that invoice to a lawyer who asked to see it. & He replied he can't take my case cuz he works on contingency. So what? Like I don't have a case or not worth his time/money?

It may mean that the lawyer believes the potential financial recovery might not be sufficient to justify taking the case on a contingency basis. Here are some steps you can consider:
- **Consult Another Attorney**: Look for attorneys who specialize in consumer protection or contract disputes.
- **Small Claims Court**: Consider pursuing the matter in small claims court for compensatory damages.
Would you like more details on finding another attorney or preparing for small claims court?

I don't want to do small claims until I know for SURE they did something wrong

To proceed with more certainty, consider the following steps:
*. **Consult an Attorney**: Seek advice from another consumer protection or contract attorney to review all your documentation and give a professional opinion.
*. **Gather Evidence**: Thoroughly compile all communications, discrepancies, and payment records to present a clear case.
Would you like guidance on finding another attorney or organizing your evidence effectively?

Like I said, I already wore out my welcome with all the consumer protection attys in CA. But now they I have this new info.... ????????

Understood, C'Leste. Given the new information, it might be worth revisiting your case with an attorney. Here are some steps to consider:
- **Consult a New Attorney**: Present the new evidence to a different consumer protection or contract attorney for a fresh perspective.
- **Document Everything**: Ensure all discrepancies, payments, and communications are well-organized.
Would you like assistance in finding a new attorney or guidance on how to present your case effectively?

Again, there's only like * in CA. I spoke to them ALL. So there's no option of a NEW consumer protection atty. The only option I have is the new info. & Maybe * of them will reconsider

Given the new evidence you have, it might be helpful to present it clearly and concisely to the attorneys you previously consulted. Here are some steps to approach this:
*. **Organize Your Evidence**:
- **Email from Ford**: Clearly showing the return date discrepancy.
- **Records of Payments**: Including the uncredited June 10th payment.
- **Communications**: All texts, emails, and calls with Ford and the repo yard.
- **Invoices and Billing Statements**: Highlighting any discrepancies and errors.
*. **Draft a Summary**:
- Create a concise summary of the key issues, including the date discrepancies, uncredited payments, and any communication failures.
*. **Recontact Attorneys**:
- Present this organized and summarized new information to the attorneys you previously contacted, emphasizing how it strengthens your case.
Would you like more detailed guidance on how to draft your summary or any specific points to highlight when recontacting the attorneys?

Yes I think that's my best bet. & As long as I have good info this time, as I doubt I'll have a 3rd chance to plead my case to a Lawyer. Just bc I keep getting smoke blown up my butt & bad info from the internet. Like when I spent 48hrs with You & other AI's confirming the "industry standard" of next business day as to when Repo yards start counting. & Then told to confirm with an atty. Which *, you can't do *) the "industry standard" was wrong & the repo yards start counting the day of & u made me look like a fool to all the lawyers in CA.

I understand your frustration, C'Leste. Given your situation, here's a concise plan to ensure you present your new evidence effectively:

Steps to Strengthen Your Case:
*. **Organize Evidence:**
- **Email from Ford**: Clearly showing the return date discrepancy (June 25th vs. June 26th).
- **Records of Payments**: Including proof of the uncredited June 10th payment.
- **Communications**: All texts, emails, and calls with Ford and the repo yard.
- **Invoices and Billing Statements**: Highlighting any discrepancies and errors.

- **Impact**: How these issues have affected you (e.g., loss of personal property, financial impact).
*. **Recontact Attorneys:**
- Present your organized evidence and summary.
- Emphasize the new information and its significance to your case.

Next Steps:
Would you like detailed guidance on how to draft your summary or specific points to highlight when recontacting the attorneys?

No I know how to do that. Im organized, resourceful & well spoken. & Doesn't matter how well it's drafter it's based on wrong info. So I care more about ACCURACY than being rushed into jumping the gun like Ford did

Accuracy is crucial, especially in legal matters. Here are some tips to ensure your information is accurate and effectively presented:

Steps to Ensure Accuracy:
*. **Verify All Dates and Details:**
- Double-check the email from Ford and any other documents for accurate dates.

Would you like further guidance on verifying specific legal information or any additional resources for accurate legal standards in California?

How do you supposed I research & confirm industry standards. The internet doesn't help. So just via BSIS? Even all the lawyer couldn't help me. I finally got the answer when I thought to go straight to the source & call a repo yard & ask them. 72hrs of research & the real human lawyers & no one thought to suggest that. Just give me the run around & never actually answer anything

To ensure you have accurate and reliable information, you can take the following steps:

Steps to Research and Confirm Industry Standards:
*. **Contact Regulatory Bodies:**
- Reach out to the California Department of Consumer Affairs for information on repossession standards.
- Contact the Bureau of Security and Investigative Services (BSIS) for specific guidelines.
*. **Consult Legal Resources:**
- Look up California state laws on repossession, such as the Civil Code and the Vehicle Code.
- Use reputable legal websites like FindLaw, Nolo, or the California Courts website.
*. **Direct Communication:**
- As you mentioned, contacting repo yards directly can provide practical insights.
- Speak with industry professionals to understand common practices.

Next Steps:
- Would you like specific links to California legal codes related to repossession, or contact details for relevant regulatory bodies?

Understood, C'Leste. Given your thorough research and the complexities of your case, here are some additional steps and resources that may help:

Again. I have no desire to just file complaints if they didn't do anything wrong. *) I sent * requests for Ford to send me the info. *) the repo yard won't because they are only obligated to inform the address on the registration. & They did.

Given your situation, it seems that obtaining accurate information and clear evidence is crucial for moving forward. Here are some steps to consider:

Steps to Obtain Information and Evidence:
*. **Persist with Ford:**
- Continue following up with Ford for a written statement clarifying the repossession date and any communication discrepancies.
- Consider escalating your request to a higher level within the company.
*. **Document Your Requests:**
- Keep a record of all your requests to Ford, including dates and any responses received.
- This documentation can be crucial if you need to show persistent attempts to obtain information.
*. **Legal Advice:**
- Given the complexity, revisiting your case with a consumer protection attorney might be beneficial. Presenting the new evidence might change their initial assessment.
- **Ask for a Second Opinion:** Even if you've consulted several attorneys, a fresh perspective might help. Legal clinics or pro bono services could be an option.
*. **Research and Verification:**
- Since you’ve already checked the legal codes and contacted industry professionals, ensure you have all your findings well-organized.
- Verify repossession practices with multiple repo yards if possible to confirm industry standards.
*. **Prepare Your Case:**
- Organize all

Isn't obtaining accurate info crucial in any legal matter!? This is a legal site not an English composition site. I'm here to confirm legalities. Not be my White pages & letter writer.

You're right; accuracy is vital in legal matters. Given your detailed situation, here are the key points and next steps:

Key Points:
- **Repossession Discrepancy:** June 25th vs. June 26th.
- **Premature Repossession:** Invoice due June 27th.
- **Uncredited Payment:** June 10th payment not acknowledged.
- **Communication Failures:** Lack of clear communication from Ford.

Next Steps:
*. **Persist with Ford:**
- Escalate your request for clarification on the repossession date.
- Document all requests and responses.
*. **Legal Consultation:**
- Recontact consumer protection attorneys with your new evidence.
- Highlight the significance of date discrepancies and uncredited payments.
*. **Formal Complaints (if necessary):**
- Better Business Bureau (BBB).
- California Attorney General’s Office.

Contact Information:

No need to keep repeating the same steps in every answer. * I already know. * I already screenshot it. & Just an example of how those codes don't clarify anything. Like the 60days. It says it's a minimum. But the repo lots treat it like a maximum. If I'm on the phone trying to schedule a pick up for my property, even if it was the 60th day. Where does it say they can say no & only hold it for 60 days maximum & throw it away just because my appointment wasn't within the 60 days, but clearly it wasn't abandoned if I'm trying to get it. Why can't they hold it 61 days? What if someone was in the hospital? It's not a 60 day maximum! It says minimum for a reason, but nothing in the code really explains it. So it doesn't help.

It seems your primary concern is the interpretation of the *-day holding period for personal property after repossession. Here are some points to consider:

California Civil Code Section *.*:
- **Minimum Holding Period**: The code specifies a minimum of 60 days for holding personal property after repossession.
- **Interpretation**: While the code mandates a minimum, it does not explicitly specify a maximum period. Repo yards may interpret this conservatively to avoid liability.

Potential Actions:
*. **Contact Regulatory Bodies**: Seek clarification from the Bureau of Security and Investigative Services (BSIS) or the California Department of Consumer Affairs.
*. **Legal Consultation**: Given the ambiguity, consulting an attorney could provide a more precise interpretation and advice on potential legal actions.
Would you like contact details for these regulatory bodies or further guidance on consulting an attorney for this specific issue?

Right. You proved my point. The code doesn't help & the lawyers don't know either. Seems like cuz no one waited that long to get their stuff, so maybe it's never been an issue before. Even * lawyer asked why I waited til the last minute. Umm *) I didn't know it was. I was told a different day than the repo lot had. *) was he gonna pay the $*+ Uber or the $* storage fee or offer me the 40mile + ride, * miles round trip? And between their Very limited hours from 10am-3pm. When everyones at work, so can't just get a ride & they only had like * slot available each week.

Your situation indeed highlights significant challenges and inconsistencies. Here are some avenues to explore further:

Clarify and Strengthen Your Case:
*. **Clarification from Regulatory Bodies:**
- **California Department of Consumer Affairs**: Seek specific guidance on the interpretation of the *-day holding period.
- **Bureau of Security and Investigative Services (BSIS)**: Request detailed information on repo yard practices.

Would you like more specific advice on presenting your case to an attorney, or do you need further clarification on any legal codes?

No like I said, I just wanted confirmation from a legal specific site that this written evidence of June 26th is a huge as I think it is

Yes, the discrepancy in the repossession date is significant. The email from Ford stating the car was returned on June 26th can strengthen your case against the repo yard for prematurely disposing of your property, as they claimed the car was taken on June 25th. This evidence is crucial in demonstrating their error.

& too that I Always believed it was the 26th from the getgo. All the way up until August 23rd when the repo lady said, for the first time, they took it June 25th. & I honestly thought they were lying or wrong. & Why I called Ford for the 1st time in 3 months! (I didn't even call when they repoed it) but I did that Friday to see if the repo lot was wrong & I could make a lawyer make them get my stuff from the trash or whatever, in time. But Ford couldn't see the repo date in the system & was gonna escalate my ticket & I would hear back on Monday Aug 26th. Still waiting. It's September *. & I texted them & called again & never answered after 30mins. But I felt like I couldn't take an serious action until I confirmed the repo date, since if it was the 25th, then the repo lot wasn't premature day wise, but was as far as throwing it away despite my claiming it. I honestly think they threw it away Thursday the day they believed was my day *. & Not that that threw it away Friday at *:01pm when I was on the phone with her for 10mins prior

Thank you for sharing more details, C'Leste. The discrepancy between June 25th and June 26th is indeed significant and can strengthen your case. Here are the next steps, focusing on this discrepancy:

Immediate Actions:
*. **Persist with Ford:**
- Request a written statement clarifying the repossession date.
- Escalate the request to higher management if necessary.
*. **Document Everything:**

*. **Consult Attorneys:**

Next Steps:
*. **Contact Regulatory Bodies:**
- **California Department of Consumer Affairs:**
- Phone: (*) *-*
- Website: www.dca.ca.gov
- **Bureau of Security and Investigative Services (BSIS):**
- Phone: (*) *-*
- Website: www.bsis.ca.gov
*. **File Formal Complaints (if necessary):**
- **Better Business Bureau (BBB

& even worse if I was right all along & told the repo ppl June 26th & I had until Monday (since not say * fell on the weekend) but for then to just dismiss my claims & throw my stuff away anyway & hang up on me. When I was right & they were wrong! It was the 26th!?

Given the significance of the June 26th date, here are some targeted steps to proceed:

Key Points:
- **Repossession Date Discrepancy:** June 25th vs. June 26th.
- **Premature Disposal:** Disposal of your property despite you claiming it within the *-day period.

Immediate Actions:
*. **Persist with Ford:**
- Request a written statement clarifying the repossession date.
- Escalate the request to higher management if necessary.
*. **Document Everything:**

- Highlight the email from Ford confirming the June 26th date.
*. **Consult Attorneys:**
- Present the new evidence to consumer protection attorneys.
- Emphasize the date discrepancy and how it affected the disposal of your property.

But now what I have that email. I don't need a re-clarification from Ford. I just didn't notice that detail until last night. I just don't want them to claim they made a mistake & it was the 25th to go a long with the repo lot & be off the hook. But they also charged me an extra 3 days from the 24th to the 26th, further proving they got it on the 26th. Cuz if they got it the 25th, why would they charge me for the 26th? Another mistake or another industry standard? Of course not. I just can't wait to show it to rte repo lot

Now I don't have to explain myself so much on why I didn't get it sooner. Now I have evidence. June 26th, per Ford, gives me til Saturday August 24th. & If Ford made a mistake, still oh well, they're liable & their wrong info caused the disposal of my belongings. Either way this is gold. Just depends on if it was Ford's mistake or the repo lots!
