Complaint:
My car was repossessed around late XX/XX/XXXX or early XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. I redeemed the vehicle within the allotted timeframe. I was told all monies past due, the next month 's payment, fees, and recovery charges were due in oder to redeem the car. So that is what I did. Within a few days of getting the car back, I received a bill saying I owed over {$100.00} after they just said everything was due before I could get the car back. XXXX XXXX XXXX has not reported to ANY of the credit bureaus nor provided me a statement or accurate balance since then. Every week most times several days a week I received harassing calls threatening to repossess my car even though I have made double and triple payments. I've had to take their word and pay whatever they said to pay. They kept saying they weren't bound by law to provide statements once the car had been repoed. This goes on for 27-28 months I had to write down what I paid, when and the balance. They said the was not any interest being charged at this point and the balance was simple, but they would confirm this with writing. On XX/XX/XXXX while getting ready to remit payment for the month XXXX XXXX of month XXXX they say 11 of my payments were reversed and the were picking my up, out to call back sayin it was a mistake. The balance was agreed back in XX/XX/XXXX that it was {$10000.00} and then XX/XX/XXXX the account status change and the balance Is now over {$15000.00}. They still have not fixed this " system issue '', no one has called back to give me an update on it and I been sending letters to XXXX XXXX XXXX and the credit bureaus every month since XX/XX/XXXX and neither have responded to any of my letters. By law, they are supposed to conduct their investigations and respond to the consumer wishing 30 days. Now they have decided to begin reporting again ( INACCURATELY with the balance and missing 27-28 months of history ) and have caused my score to drop almost 60 POINTS!!!

Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem
Sub-issue: Investigation took more than 30 days

Complaint:
In a letter from Vice President XXXX XXXX he stated that his company did not receive my certified mail. Attached is the letter from VP XXXX XXXX and the confirmation from USPS confirmation of delivery. In the letter he also stated that my phone number and email matched. In general if someone used a person 's information that information would match. I am shocked that the VP XXXX XXXX would make that statement to verify an account. The statement and the proof of delivery that I provided shows that the VP XXXX XXXX did not do a accurate investigation or that he will lie to not do a proper investigation to close a case. So I ask did VP XXXX XXXX lie in his letter to avoid not responding in the 30 days and in this case the 9 months. Did my letter get tossed in the garbage like many by VP XXXX XXXX. The law states 30 days and I 'm sure VP XXXX XXXX saw this and noticed it 's been 9 months. So I ask VP XXXX XXXX where is the certified letter, I provided supporting documents. Once again the letter VP XXXX XXXX submitted is a LIE.

Sub-issue: Debt was paid

Complaint:
Rauch Millikan at XXXX keeps calling me about a debt for a XXXX company I closed in XXXX. They say XXXX XXXX XXXX / XXXX XXXX has a collection debt from the Idaho XXXX. I said that is not possible. That company has not been in business for over 30 years. They said its from XXXX. Again, that is not possible. They said they are turning it over to there legal department unless I want to pay it now. I hung up. 

I called the Idaho XXXX. They confirmed there is no collection. There is no account for me. I have not subscribed to the Idaho XXXX newspaper in over 20 years. 

Rauch Millikan keeps calling me and leaving collection messages. 

From what I read in the Internet, this company has a lot of complaints in regards to trying to collect on old previously settled debts. They are a scam!

Complaint:
I tried to unlock a credit feeze with Transunion both over the phone & internet. This company refused to assist me in anyway to expedite the unfreezing of my credit report. I was told to submit a copy of my driver 's license & a bill with my address on it & they might look into it in 5 days. Both XXXX & XXXX   provided the unfreezing of my account without this extreme vetting of my identity. There is no legal reason for Transunion to refuse to unfreeze the account without vetting my identity when both XXXX & XXXX had no problem assisting me either over the phone or over the internet.

Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports
Sub-product: Other personal consumer report
Issue: Improper use of your report
Sub-issue: Reporting company used your report improperly

Complaint:
I went to XXXX XXXX dealership in XXXX XXXX, ND and after being told that I did not qualify for any sort of car or loan I realized that they had placed several hard inquiries with different potential lenders in the short time that I had been there. Although it seems as if they have removed any evidence of the hard inquiries on the dealership 's behalf, it is my belief that my information was already shared or sold to other entities who have used my data in the most improper ways to either create unnecessary credit reporting. Also, it looks as though several companies have taken it upon themselves to change information that has to do with my checking accounts that are including XXXX activity and sharing credit reporting information with potential employers without my consent. These companies would include XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX, XXXX, and ALLY Financial. Since learning of these breaches of information and misuse of my data and identity I have noticed an unusual fluctuation in my credit score, I have been denied employment, and my checking account has had several unauthorized debits and withdrawals that I have had to dispute. I really hope that there is some resolution to the difficult situation that this has caused me and my family because I really need to know how to keep this from happening in the future.
