By reading the op I would say there is nothing you can do. Ford appears to have done what they had to. You posted the reason for repo in your report. Qoute: "I was told that I could continue sending payments however, this account was written off and appear on my credit history as such. It did. I did not continue filing my disability claims because I was informed that truck hade been writtn off." End Qoute You discontinued the disability payments and did not make any payments from there on. You lost the truck due to non-payment, your fault. Had you continued with the disability paperwork you would still have a truck.

I have disability Insurance on my truck also, as you know the insurance is through another company and yes I know all about the forms and monthly forms the doctor must fill out and sign but when I filed mine Ford wanted to work with me and even skipped a payment so the insurance company could have time to process's the claim and start the payment for disability. Im not saying Ford did not wont your truck but hell they told me they did not want to repo my truck and would work with me plus you get letters in the mail and phone calls I know trust me my dad died and they did all that before they even came and got his Ford truck. The only thing that I can see is that the insurance company waited to long to file the forms or they denied you the disability insurance which is not unusual you have to appeal but it takes more than one month and one missed truck payment to get your truck reposed. And when the appeal is made in your decision they have to pay the back payment amount from date it was denied.

So you knew you owed them money knew that the vehicle was your collateral and never paid them? When any company says that your loan was written off it simply means they have charged off your account. It does not mean you do not owe them the money. Did you ask them if the rest of the vehicle was free? of course not you knew you owed them. "Charging Off" an account doesn't amount to alot to the consumer besides your debt fell past due. companies do it for accounting rules but the debt is still there. As far a no calls I'd say that none are required in state. As far as you being left high & dry without a vehicle that you needed ummmm..do you really need someone to say again you should have taken care of this long before?
