Complaint:
On XX/XX/XXXX, I sent out multiple disputes to all 3 bureaus. I called Transunion yesterday to have my disputes removed off my credit report due to no response within the 30 day time frame by law. I did not bother calling XXXX since I had not heard back from them either and was expecting the same response. The representative I spoke with from Transunion said they did not have any letters from me. I confirmed the address and also stated that XXXX did not have any issues receiving my mail as they responded to all 3 disputes. Because I have filed disputes with XXXX before, I felt they didn't thoroughly investigate due to how fast they responded to me, but they did respond within 2 weeks. 

Disputes 1. I have a XXXX XXXX card with missed payments between XXXX of XXXX and XXXX of XXXX. I did not miss any payments before or after those dates. I stated that I was in between jobs during COVID and that's why those dates are missing payments when I was not employed. I asked for those missed payments to be removed or waived since I have 2 more XXXX XXXX cards that are both in good standing. 

2. XXXX XXXX XXXX states that the original creditor is XXXX XXXX and that I owe {$490.00} on an account that I did not activate. Again, I have 3 cards with XXXX XXXX and I would not apply for a card with the intention to never make any payments. I lived in a house where I was renting a room with XXXX people who were renting rooms as well at the address and I wholeheartedly believe someone somehow activated the account because I have no idea of where this account came from and I asked for this to be removed from my report. 

3. XXXX XXXX XXXX is the lender for the repossession on my credit report. The company XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ) ( XXXX XXXX ) I purchased that specific car from settled in court for using " deceptive and unfair sales and financing practices, deceptive advertising and deceptive reviews '' - Federal Trade Commission. I lost my job at the time, however, the payments were more than what what was offered over the phone and via email. The representative sold me a defective car. The car jerked as we test drove and when I asked him about that he stated, " the car hasn't been driven in a while, that's normal ''. The XXXX XXXX XXXX had many recalls for that " jerking '' issue as it continued to happen. Due to XXXX XXXX XXXX working with a deceptive company, I would like to have them removed from my credit report. 

I did not know this information until after and attempted to call XXXX to update them regarding this and as I stated above, I do not believe they included the additional information regarding the lender working with a deceptive company since I ended up with they did not remove this from my report so the 3rd letter won't state the updated information regarding the settlement.
