Company: CarMax, Inc.
State: OH
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:
On XXXX of 2019 I reached out to CarMax used car dealership and worked with a salesman who was to assist with finding a vehicle for me. I explained I had never financed a vehicle before and owned all vehicles previously out right. I was unable to meet in person and provided my social security number, along with other information to find a loan that was within reason financially. I specifically asked that I not have more than two hard inquiries on my report and was told that the credit bureau would recognize me looking for a car and only count the inquiries as one, that was a lie. It was 17! I expressed my dissatisfaction and concern with management and was told the same lie. In first applying my credit score was XXXX and by the time they were done my credit score was XXXX! This companies practice was abusive and deceitful in forcing me to have to choose a vehicle through them because I was unable to go anywhere else once my credit score was dropped so drastically. When expressing my concerns, I was repeatedly lied to about the effect this would have on me. My credit score is horrible and Ive been denied for school loans, increases on credit limits with my financial institutions and I am enduring a financial hardship with the insanely high monthly payments. I then began having issues with the vehicle while under warranty at XXXX miles and was refused a loaner and was told I wasnt covered under the extended warranty that was purchased. Consumers should NEVER need to endure this type of predatory and deceptive behavior.

Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed
Sub-issue: Debt is not yours

Complaint:
Hello, I reported Cascade Receivables Management to you earlier this year about debt they're trying to collect on behalf of XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. At that time, I was told that they had discharged the debt from my accounts since I'd never received any bills or past-due notices for these hospital charges. Once again this weekend, I received yet another attempt from them to collect more debt, which is more than three years after I was hospitalized. So, this is abuse in my opinion, and I would appreciate your taking action to make them CEASE and DESIST any and all collection attempts for anyone related to the XXXX XXXX XXXX. Thank you.

Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: MD
Product: Money transfer, virtual currency, or money service
Sub-product: International money transfer
Issue: Other service problem

Complaint:
I called Capital One about transferring money from my checking account to an account in XXXX. The representative was very helpful at first, guiding me to the proper link on the bank 's website. It clearly stated that international transfers were permitted for a {$30.00} fee. As I was about to hang-up, the representative said that something " had just come up on her screen '' saying that I was prohibited from making ANY international transfers. I informed her that the website said that I could. Her response, again, was that this information " just appeared. '' I told her that this was suspicious and too convenient. When I asked her why I couldn't, she informed me that she'd have to transfer me to another department and the hold time would be long. I don't have time to be on hold all afternoon. I have NEVER had an issue transferring money overseas in the past. Even if Capital One has the right to deny the transfer, they have an ethical obligation to inform me as to the reason for the denial.

Company: AMERISAVE MORTGAGE CORPORATION
State: VA
Product: Mortgage
Sub-product: Conventional home mortgage
Issue: Applying for a mortgage or refinancing an existing mortgage

Complaint:
Hi! I do not need help solving an ongoing issue personally but feel this needs to be reported for benefit of other consumers. This lender participates in some misleading/deceptive practices, and in my interaction with them had the following occur : 1. Attempted to compel me to pay an " advance application fee '' before agreeing to terms of the loan. The fee was ( intentionally? ) mislabeled as an " Appraisal Fee '' in the process menu but the document itself and corresponding content made it clear it was an advance application junk fee. 

2. I was sent a preliminary estimate but the terms were subject to change at any time. The lender made no effort to clarify whether or not the rate and terms were locked or if they would change after paying the advance fee. 

3. The company 's agent made no effort to explain the fundamental mortgage loan aspects, such as changing rates, rate locks, closing cost overview etc before asking for the advance fee. 

4. Hides fees so that in effect the actual terms are higher than those advertised online. 

5. The company did not respond to me when I reported these concerns via phone or email. I suspect they are well aware of the nature of their process. 

6. I see this company has a previous judgement for similar behavior and suspect they are straddling the lines of legality at best and have likely crossed them several times advertently or inadvertently.

State: MA
Product: Debt collection
Sub-product: Other debt
Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed
Sub-issue: Debt is not yours

Complaint:
I was shocked when I reviewed my credit report this week and I found multiple inaccuracies on my credit report from the 3 major credit bureaus from a collection company that I never have dealt with before. I've attempted several times to ratify the issue with the original creditors and credit bureaus and they still reporting inaccurate, unverifiable information. I have disputed this item with the credit reporting agency and they reported you confirmed the account as valid. I honestly do not believe to ever have any relationship with this collection agency or original creditor. Also there are several inaccuracies with this account the way it's reporting and that's a total violation of FCRA and FDCPA laws and regulations. In a good faith effort to resolve the matter amicably, I must demand proof of this debt, specifically the alleged contract or other instrument bearing my signature, as well as proof of your authority in this matter. Absent such proof, you must correct any erroneous reports of this past debt as mine. I am writing to request that you please provide the following information : 1. Please evidence your authorization under 15 USC 1692 ( e ) and 15 USC 1692 ( f ) in this alleged matter. 2. What is your authorization of law for your collection of information? 3. What is your authorization of law for your collection of this alleged debt? 4. Please evidence your authorization to do business or operate in this state. 5. Please evidence proof of the alleged debt, including the alleged contract or other instrument bearing my signature. 6. Please provide a complete account history, including any charges added for collection activity. 
You have 30 days upon receipt of this letter to provide strict proof of contract. In the event you can not provide strict proof of contract, you must cease and desist any and all collection efforts and immediately remove any derogatory information reported to the consumer reporting agencies. In addition, you will need to provide me your agreement, in writing, that you are closing your file, ceasing collecting activity, and deleting all information related to this reference number from any and all credit reports youve furnished the information to. In the event you transfer this account to an attorney without providing proof of contract, and proving your claim, he/she will be immediate reported to the XXXX XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX XXXX for code of ethics violations.

Happy Monday Team! I was shocked when I reviewed my credit report Today and found a late payment this month XX/XX/2020 for 30 days late.
