Complaint:
In XX/XX/XXXX, I entered into a lease with XXXX XXXX regarding a new vehicle. The terms of the lease were for 39 months. I paid the lease off completely and returned the vehicle to XXXX XXXX XXXX and XXXX Pennsylvania in XX/XX/XXXX. I talked to the sales XXXX at XXXX XXXX XXXX and told him that I was turning in a leased vehicle. He went out and he looked at the vehicle and said the vehicle was in excellent shape. I asked him if I needed paperwork to that affect. He stated that I did not need any paperwork and I was " good to go. '' The vehicle was in perfect condition when it was turned in and that was acknowledged by the dealership. Months later XXXX XXXX claimed the auto was damaged. I told XXXX financial that that was not the case, and the vehicles was turned in in perfect condition. It was at that time the XXXX XXXX try to get {$2600.00} from me. I told them that I did not any money and they would not give me any information regarding the " damages '' to the vehicle. 

In XX/XX/XXXX I attempted to get a line of credit for XXXX of my businesses and was turned down with my bank, XXXX XXXX Bank XXXX Pennsylvania, because of a poor credit rating. I obtained my credit report and it showed that XXXX XXXX charged off my account in XX/XX/XXXX. 

I sent dispute letters to all XXXX credit reporting agencies and experience we returned back that the company reported information was accurate. XXXX did no further investigation and did not receive any information or my side of the story. The other XXXX reporting agencies never responded. 

I obtained my credit report from Experian and it shows the charge-off of XX/XX/XXXX. I attempted to call XXXX XXXX XXXX to find out information regarding this charge-off and I was told that they do not give out invoices and they will not submit any information regarding why they charged off this vehicle, considering that the vehicle was completely paid as per the terms.I contacted XXXX Motors this week and received a letter regarding this account and was advised that I owe {$2600.00}. XXXX XXXX XXXX financial would not give me a detailed itemized list of these charges. This vehicle was in perfect condition when I turned this vehicle into XXXX XXXX XXXX. In addition there was no litigation ever filed against me from XXXX XXXX financial for the {$2600.00}. 

The XXXX credit bureaus did not do their due diligence to actually truly investigate this claim made by XXXX XXXX financial. At no time was I given the opportunity to explain my side to the credit bureaus.

State: AL
Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports
Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Improper use of your report
Sub-issue: Received unsolicited financial product or insurance offers after opting out

Complaint:
I have received an unsolicited check from a loan company called "  XXXX   XXXX  '', and the check is connected to a form provided by a credit rating company named " Clarity Services '', and instructions are provided for opting out, and I did call the number provided,  XXXX , and I talked with someone there who got my name, date of birth, phone number, etc., but she wanted my Social Security number as well. Apparently my Social Security number is floating all over the financial world attached to my credit rating, and the only way to stop this avalanche of unwanted, unsolicited offers for loans is to provide my Social Security number. I have been warned countless times not to give my Social Security number to people on the phone or in writing without a very good reason. I asked to speak to a supervisor,  XXXX , I think his name was, and he explained that the only way they could confirm that I am the person making this request was to provide my Social Security number. I do not want to get these offers for loans. If I ever needed a loan, which I believe is unlikely, I would go to my federal credit union, not  one of  these loan companies which send out {$900.00} checks to any and all. Is there no other recourse for people like me who do not want these credit rating companies sharing my information all over the place? Must I give them my Social Security number in order to opt out?
