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

Complaint:
XXXX XXXX XXXX sold my account to XXXX XXXX with full knowledge that fraudulent charges had occurred. 
back in 2015 I notified XXXX XXXX XXXX of unauthorized charges that I did not recognize on my billing statement. my card was shut down for protection and a claim was opened for this and a new card was mailed out. 
I never received a new card, no communication that an investigation was conducted or the result of said findings. I did notice only 3 small charges were credited on the statement. I continued to question procedures and further dispute. I was ignored and was continually pursued for charges that I am not responsible for. I refused to pay as I am not legally liable. XXXX XXXX then insisted that I owe them and charged off the account and sold it to a collection agency who has ruined my credit. after filing a dispute with the credit bureaus both XXXX XXXX and XXXX verified the data. XXXX XXXX has not supplied any records to me but XXXX XXXX continues to call me regarding the balance when they no longer have the account. its too late to request new investigation. XXXX does not have all the records.

Complaint:
Hi! 

My credit it tied to a person I have never met. Our names and socials are similar, but we live in two different stated : I live in NC and have never lived in Texas, and she liv es in Texas. 

I have reached out to Equifax to let them know of the error and sent my birth certificate, social, XXXX, and proof of address in. They changed the name, birthdate and address on the account to my information. The debt still belonged to the other person ( XXXX XXXX ). She reached out to Equifax, and they changed it back to her name and address, but not birthday and social. 

The account is now locked, and I have no access to credit. I was denied a refinance on my home because my debt to credit ratio was too high, but the information on my credit report belongs to XXXX XXXX, not to me. I paid {$500.00} to have the house appraised and got denied by my own bank. I ca n't go buy a car because my credit report is locked, but it is n't my credit report. 

Every time I call, I am told that everything is fixed, or I am transferred, and the call is disconnected. I have spent hours trying to resolve this issue and have yet to talk with someone that can help. I receive mail, almost weekly from Equifax saying that one thing has been changed, but usually its changing her birthday to mine or mine to hers or changing addresses from NC to Texas. 

The number at the top of my record is XXXX The confirmation # is XXXX This has been going on since XXXX with no resolution.

Sub-issue: Credit inquiries on your report that you don't recognize

Complaint:
I recently purchased a car through a dealership, XXXX XXXX. A few days after purchasing the vehicle the company who financed the vehicle, XXXX XXXX XXXX, called asking about the deal, where I was informed that the down payment XXXX XXXX asked for was double what I was suppose to pay. After clearing up that issue the week continued. After a week of documentations not being handled, returning the car for break issues, coming to the location about 4 times, and calls not being returned, the dealership gave me a call and asked me to come into the location to sign a missing document. When I arrived at the location I was informed that the finance company backed out the deal because of the down payment issue. I was told by the " finance manager '' that it was my fault the company back out because of the down payment issue. After reminding the man that he was the one who told me and my boyfriend, upon signing the contracts, to bring in the additional {$500.00} two weeks later, I asked to speak to a manager in a position over him. He informed me that they ran my credit again without my authorization and I had no choice, but to either pay the new doubled down payment and higher note through another company or give them the car in a few hours. I left the dealership and called the finance company who informed me the truth. The company had backed out the deal because the company sent over a warranty with someone else 's signature not mine. I also declined the warranty upon finalizing contracts when they asked if I wanted the warranty, they still proceeded to add the warranty after I left the dealership, without my knowledge. The finance company did send the warranty part of the contract, with my disclosed information on it. Also, after deciding to go look at other dealerships. I was informed by a few dealerships that XXXX XXXX " shot gun '' my credit everywhere, adding numerous inquiries to my credit. Two dealerships would n't offer to run my credit because of the numerous inquiries. The salesman from XXXX XXXX, then called me and told me to bring in the car his manager is leaving and that " they are doing me a favor. '' The manager would not even speak to me personally when coming in to get a refund. They made me speak to a salesman who never played a part in any of the issues & contracts, who basically tried to make me settle on two more contracts. I denied both contracts and opted to deal with another company.
