Do I need to find an attorney regarding an account this that is being incorrectly reportrd?

I received a letter and phone call from my auto finance company threatening that they would repo my vehicle. I know that I am current on all payments and have proof to verify that. When I spoke with the CSR this morning she stated that if I did not come up with $1678.68 that they would pick up the vehicle. I told her that I had proof of payments. She then told me that she was unable to pull that information up in her system and that the sum above still needed to be paid. I immediatley paid $300 (must of what I had in my account) out of fear that they were would indeed pick up the vehichle. What should I do now?

If you feel that you are being strong armed by an automobile finance company where you are current on your monthly payments for your vehicle, I would contact your state's department of corporation's in that it is in charge of overseeing such lending companies. It also will field consumer complaints. You might also consider consulting with an attorney who practices law in the area of consumer debt law.

In the interim, I would contact the lender and provide all documentation that you have showing that you are current on your debt.
