Credit Acceptance Corp is a fraud. They have been adding extra fees to my credit report and Ive been paying attention lately. They apply all the money to the interest. My loan amount was {$13000.00} I had {$3500.00} down deposit. After all fees extra. I was left with {$11000.00} to finance. Ive been paying {$350.00} for 4 years straight. I had a problem one time and missed 1 late payment they came to repo my car. I said my checked just got cleared and had to wait for the bank to open to get the money and transfer it to my other bank, because I didnt have a card for this bank. The people would not listen.. They came at XXXX in the morning. I tried calling credit Acceptance but they were closed. So they replied my car. As soon as the bank opened I went and got the money deposit it and payed them off. To remind you bank opened at XXXX and they opened at XXXX I believed. So the car was at the place for 1 hr. They charged me {$700.00} to release my car. I only was {$43.00} late. So Ive been requesting pay off quotes before the payments were made. I make a payment and then request another pay off quote. When I made the request for the pay off quote my balance was {$3900.00} cent. I made a {$200.00} payment. I went back after 1 day after that payment and requested another pay off quote now my balance was {$3900.00}. So I made {$200.00} only {$0.00} went towards my balanced and added more. They are fraud. One day I requested my payment history. The guy sent me a link which was blocked. They said I needed a password to enter the link. I called and said they sent me a link and I needed a password and I dont have a password foe the link. They said they were going to get back to me. Never heard from them again.

In accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting act. The List of accounts below has violated my federally protected consumer rights to privacy and confidentiality under 15 USC 1681. 

XXXXXXXX XXXX ( CLOSED ) xxxxxxxxxxxx XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX : Account Number XXXX XXXX Account number : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX ( CLOSED ) Account Number XXXX XXXX XXXX ( CLOSED ) : Account number : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX : Account number : XXXX has violated my rights. 

15 U.S.C 1681 section 602 A. States I have the right to privacy.

15 U.S.C 1681 Section 604 A Section 2 : It also states a consumer reporting agency can not furnish a account without my written instructions 15 U.S.C 1681c. ( a ) ( 5 ) Section States : no consumer reporting agency may make any consumer report containing any of the following items of information Any other adverse item of information, other than records of convictions of crimes which antedates the report by more than seven years.

I was told that these accounts are verified as accurate by Equifax, but I did dispute these accounts directly with the companies and i received a letter saying they are investigating, and I should hear them soon, but somehow the credit betray has already concluded their investigation, and are verifying as accurate. I am using my FCRA section 609 rights to ask for original signed contracts with these accounts, because I know I did not sign a contract with any of these companies. I have mailed a letter regarding this concern to Equifax already, and I am uploading the copies on here as proof. 

These are fraudulent accounts, I XXXX XXXX did not sign any contracts with this company. I would a fair, and proper investigation done and this account deleted right away. 

In addition, please remove all non-account holding inquiries over 30 days old. Also, please add a promotional suppression to my credit file.

Be advised i am also requesting the description of the procedure used to determine the accuracy and completeness of the information is hereby requested as well, to be provided within fifteen ( 15 ) days of the completion of your re-investigation.

Sub-product: Other debt
Issue: Took or threatened to take negative or legal action
Sub-issue: Threatened or suggested your credit would be damaged

Complaint:
I and my family stayed at the XXXX at XXXX XXXX apartment at XXXX ( currently named as XXXX XXXX at XXXX with address - XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, XXXX ) for around a year until XX/XX/2017. Throughout our stay, there were many maintenance issues and the management did not fix many of them. The reason given was - non-availability of contractors, could not be fixed and they don't want to spend on a unit that they are planning to renovate completely. We repeatedly complained and moved out since it was not bearable. The apartment management agreed for an early release ( 15 days before lease end period ) and the move-out notice clearly states that we are moving out due to maintenance issues. 


I have attached the following documents that prove the above-mentioned facts Move-Out-Notice : Clearly stating the apartment management agreeing to allow us to move our earlier than the lease end period since the maintenance issue can not be fixed Signed by XXXX XXXX XXXX representing the apartment management e-mail correspondence with apartment management that mentions the maintenance issues and the fact that they were not fixing. 


Move-Out statement : To show that the amount demanded by the apartment management and the collection agency ( NCS ) is not the same. 


The apartment management sent a demand notice claiming the unresolved maintenance issues as damages. We responded thru our attorney with the above facts for the demand notice sent by the apartment management. We were ready to pay the utilities bill that was legitimate. However, the apartment management did not respond and transferred our account to collection agency National Credit Systems ( NCS ). 


NCS communicated with us and demanded a sum that is more than what was demanded by apartment management ( the apartment management demanded {$1500.00} while NCS demanded {$2300.00} ). NCS did not go the legal route and opted to damage our credit report presumably because of the strong evidence we have against the apartment management. Our effort to negotiate with NCS for a reasonable settlement were not accepted by NCS.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report
Sub-issue: Information is missing that should be on the report

Complaint:
Equifax lost all of my credit history, and they failed to fix it. Currently my credit score at Equifax is XXXX, while at the other two credit bureaus the scores are around XXXX ( XXXX ) and XXXX ( XXXX ). I have 6 credit cards actively in use, but they have none of them on file. 

I have been trying to contact Equifax for the past 2 weeks since XX/XX/XXXX, but still the issue is not fixed. Their customer representatives refused to provide help in any constructive way, and rejected my request to start an investigation into the issue. 

Below are some more details : After about 10 days of communication, Equifax sent me an email on XX/XX/XXXX stating that they had fixed the issue. However, as I checked my credit report again on XX/XX/XXXX, my credit report is still empty and credit score is still XXXX. It is clear that they had not fixed it, while they claimed they had. I tried to email them back, but I have not received any response ever since. 

In addition, on XX/XX/XXXX I made another call to Equifax customer service line to request further help. However, a staff from the Office of Consumer Affairs told me " everything looks perfect '' on their end ( even if my credit score is XXXX ), and refused to provide any further service. She also rejected my request to start an investigation into the issue.

Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports
Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Unable to get your credit report or credit score
Sub-issue: Problem getting your free annual credit report

Complaint:
Under the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act and the Fair Credit Reporting Act, I maintain that I have resided at the above referenced address for the past 3 years. I have listed under penalty of perjury my correct social security number and date of birth, and I would appreciate an updated credit report to be sent to me within the next five business days from XXXX, Equifax and XXXX XXXX collectively. I believe that each consumer reporting agency has invalidated the true spirit of the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act. The Act first established XX/XX/2003 was intended to establish a plan whereas common American citizens could obtain a copy of their credit reports at least once a year free of charge. Since each credit reporting agency now has marketing divisions such as XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX, the automation system to obtain the free annual reports is looped into an information request to steer citizens into additional product offers that are excessive and unnecessary. Even though I may have received an approval of an updated credit report from either XXXX, XXXX XXXX or Equifax respectively, it is unfair that I need to do a mail request since I can submit my personal information through the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) portal. I believe that since the CFPB is the sole responsible oversight party of the Fair Credit Reporting Act, its imperative that any additional solicitation of information from the credit bureaus should be blocked permanently. I along with any other citizen should receive a free credit report upon request. The credit reporting agencies are an important aspect of the national banking system to properly function, but the current aggressive marketing campaign soliciting citizens for an arbitrary FICO score has gone too far, including but not limited to XXXX XXXX. We must return to a common ground that is fair for all consumers in the United States, and we must be able to request additional marketing on our own terms. Accordingly, I am making a request for a free credit report with confirmation number to my attached address.
