Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports
Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Improper use of your report
Sub-issue: Credit inquiries on your report that you don't recognize

Complaint:
There are XXXX accounts and some inquiries on my report that after contacting the company and trying to get more information they were unable/refused to give me info to verify the account because whoever set up the account used information that I don't know outside of my personal information so they said i had to file a ftc report XXXX Not sure how its to protect me if I am telling them that I am me and i never set the accounts up. I have attached a copy of the Identity Theft report as well as copy of my ID. The accounts that are fraudulent are as follows : XXXX XXXX inquired on XX/XX/2022 ; XXXX inquired on XX/XX/2022 The only thing that makes sense is someone at the lending company misused my info because I was preapproved when i purchased my home so I never gave my info to have them to check for financing. When I called the lender they confirmed they never tried to run my credit because I had a preapproval that covered the cost of the home. With that being said, inquiry law that applies here is 15 U.S.C. 1681 ( c ) ( 1 ) ( A ) ( B ) ( i ) ( 3 ) To credit reporting agency The inquiry was not authorized. Did not consent to unauthorized inquiry.

Complaint:
Over the past couple weeks I have been trying to get an auto loan. However almost every single bank has turned me down without even a counteroffer, just a denial. I have no idea why this is because my credit score is not awful its like a XXXX and I dont owe anyone any money so my DTI and my credit usage are both 0 %. So there is no reason for me to not be able to get an auto loan, Ive never had any issues up until I returned a car to XXXX XXXX XXXX where Im convinced they have put something on a portion of my credit that I am unable to see but the banks can and thats why Im getting denied like I am. I have bought over 15 cars since Ive been driving and Ive done no money down with worse credit and gotten approved but now I dont wan na do money down but I just get denied over and over, even from places that have approved me before with no or little money down and it didnt start until I dealt with XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX This is causing me serious financial issues because I can not work without a car, and Ive tried every type of car and dealership and even the dealerships are confused as to why the banks arent countering with a down payment amount or different terms or something but they arent. Something is not right and I want it fixed.
