Westlake Financial Services Company ordered the repossession of my car after the loans' balance was paid off 14 days ago. Los Angeles, California

It is amazing how this company files robo-responses in order to try and lower the impact of their rip-off report. Anyone who simply plugs in a cut/paste rebuttal is obviously a company NOT worth dealing with.  They don't even have the common courtesy to respond to the issue. I would avoid them at all costs.

After almost 100 calls to Sergio Reyes at Westlake (Loss and Recovery Manager), then many calls to Tricity (the middleman company who physically took my car), and to PRA Services (the company hired by Westlake to trace down and recover the car), I am still without car since TriCity told me that they got the release from PRA to return my car but they will do that until tomorrow morning, if I want the car today I have to go to pick it up to their place in San Jose. At this point I do not know if there will be physical damages to my car and if the two wallets (containing personal credit cards, social, driver license) left inside the car before the repossession have not been compromised by these companies.

I got the release from the police after paying $16, but the car is not in my possession yet. 

Also, I was told today by Sergio Reyes (the loss and recovery manager of Westlake Financial) that I have to pay them $300 in addition to $935 I already paid as payoff due to a fee charged by PRA Location Services to them if I want to get my pink slip, which has not been provided to me since March 26, 2013 when I did the payoff of the loan.

Westlake Financial is known for being a predatory lending who charges customers $5 for each payment online, $10 for each payment over the phone, charges exorbitant interest rates, and targets vulnerable people who have credit issues, no credit, low-income population, and hispanic customers as their preferred target of their predatory habits without nobody stopping them or even reviewing what they do.

Please, if you have options, do not go to this lender for a car loan. Save some cash and buy in cash. Tomorrow morning, I will find out if my car is returned and in what conditions. I have names and phone numbers of all involved in this horrible situation that has provoked me to be in extreme stress, losing two days of work, and still have to pay additional $300 to get my pink slip. Unbelievable this is happening in California, USA.
