VW Credit, Inc Consumer Loan Complaint

Vehicle loan Managing the loan or lease New York

I purchased a - VW Passat TDI SEL -/-/-. I took a 0 % interest 60 month loan with VW Credit. I made every month payment timely and was never late. On -/-/-, VW announced that they had used " cheat devices '' in their TDI ( i.e Diesel ) vehicles. The intent of these devices was to violate American environmental standards. In particular, to cheat in meeting NOx emission output. VW immediately imposed a ban on its dealers from selling these effected new and/or used TDI vehicles. As a result, TDI vehicles have certainly lost significant value since VW has n't determined how, or if, the vehicles can be repaired to legally satisfy EPA emission standards. The matter is well know and rather than explain it further, I will instead address my complaint. I made a request to VW Credit to suspend additional loan payments until such time that the EPA accepts the remedy regarding the TDI scandal. I purchased the vehicle based on VW 's claim that the vehicle is a " Clean Diesel '' that provided efficient use of diesel fuel in delivering the rated MPG along with EPA complaint emissions standards. The sale was based on


I cite " 16 C.F.R. Part 433 : Federal Trade Commission Trade Regulation Rule Concerning the Preservation of Consumers ' Claims and Defenses ( The Holder Rule ). I am presently in a position of having to make continued payments for this vehicle in order to maintain my excellent credit ratings even though the vehicle was sold to me under fraudulent and possibly even criminal intent by the manufacturer VW. In addition, it is unknown if there is a fix for this problem. In effect I am being forced to pay for a what might be a worthless pile of junk to preserve a personal attribute that I 've worked hard to create ( i.e. my credit score ). I request your assistance in getting VW Credit to honor my request to suspend future payments until VW and EPA agree to a fix to this mess. I should not be held hostage, I am a victim of a fraud. VW is the perpetrator and probably even the criminal.
