Complaint:
I received my credit report in XX/XX/XXXX and noticed inquiries that I do not recognize. I sent the creditor a dispute letter asking for proof of authorization. Their response is as quote : " it is our understanding that ( i ) on or about XX/XX/18 you applied for credit. And ( ii ) the application for credit you completed included a disclaimer and authorization for the dealership to submit the application to other lenders in an attempt to qualify you for financing. This authorization is typically located on the application under the heading " consent to release information. '' This is a direct violation of my rights under FCRA 611. I asked for them to send me proof of authorization not tell me what it is. By not doing so, they're in direct violation of FCRA.

Issue: Unable to get your credit report or credit score
Sub-issue: Problem getting your free annual credit report

Complaint:
The complaint below was filed with the CFPB on or about XXXX XXXX, XXXX after I tried to get my Equifax report on line. My wife just attempted to get her Equifax report this evening and was met with the usual Online Delivery Unavailable. We are now into our fourth year of each one of us being denied our Equifax report online. 
-- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- - My wife and I religiously follow the recommendation to check your free credit report regularly. We both get our reports from each agency on a staggered basis so we get a report for one of us every two months. For the fourth year in a row now, neither one of us has been able to get our report on line from Equifax. Every time we go through the on line request procedure, at the end, we get a message that says, Online Delivery Unavailable We are not able to deliver your free Equifax Annual Credit Report online. You are then told that you need to fill out a form and send it, and two supporting ID documents to them by mail. It has become obvious that they do not want to give out the reports on line. We never have a problem with the other two agencies, so I have come to the above conclusion. When you try to phone in to complain, you are put through phone tree XXXX, to no avail. This is an abuse of consumer rights. In addition to the wasted time, more paper is consumed in printing and mailing the report. Additionally, our identity is put at risk by having the report, and our documents sent by regular, unsecured mail. Please take action to put a stop to this abuse. Thank You.

Issue: Getting a credit card
Sub-issue: Application denied

Complaint:
I received a pre approval letter in the mail. I went to conns.com/activate to activate this offer. If you go to that url you can see it clearly states that it will have no impact to credit score and on the second page the form said no hard credit pull would occur. I completed and submitted that form and it gave me a message that said they could not approve me without a hard pull and gave me a button to click as well as a phone number to call to authorize a hard pull. I did not click on that and closed my web browser. However about two hours after this Conn 's performed a hard pull on my credit without my authorization. It appears someone at a store pulled my credit without my authorization.

Sub-issue: Other problem getting your report or credit score

Complaint:
I subscribe to a credit monitoring service with Experian Credit Bureau. ( 1 ) They notified me that my credit score was lowered from XXXX to XXXX due to a {$75.00} balance on my XXXX XXXX XXXX  credit card and my balance on XXXX declining. The {$75.00} balance which is not delinquent is an annual charge that XXXX XXXX XXXX assesses every year. This has been the case for many years now. I use this account for travel only. Every month I pay off the XXXX Credit Card balance, usually before they calculate the payment which I have done for years now. I don't even recall when my credit score was not in the XXXX range. ( XXXX ) In XXXX I paid off my auto loan with XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX months before the maturity date. Never late. I was notified by Experian after paying off the loan that was reported paid as agreed that my credit score descreased XXXX points from XXXX to XXXX. I have always paid my debt in a timely manner including mortgage loans, credit card accounts and auto loans. I am in my seventies so I don't need to secure additional credit for a home, autos or additional credit card debt. I do not think this is right.
