Complaint:
I was a co-signer on a XXXX XXXX auto loan for my father. It is currently showing as charged off on my credit report with a total balance of $ {$8300.00}. However, when I log into the online banking it is showing a balance of {$360.00}. I have attached a screenshot of this. I have tried calling XXXX XXXX auto to pay the balance off but they repeatedly tell me I am not authorized on the account. I tried calling around XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX and every time I was told I was not authorized and they can only speak with my father. If that is the case, and this is not my account, it needs to be immediately deleted from my credit report. They are unwilling to work with me to remove it from my report or allow me to pay it. I am requesting it be immediately removed. If the account is not mine, it should not be impacting my credit. It is preventing me from qualifying for a mortgage. It's my right as a consumer to only have information reporting that is accurate.

Sub-issue: Debt was result of identity theft

Complaint:
This company has attempted to call me during work hours to attempt a debt in which they obtained illegally. It is against the law to buy a person 's information and I also do not have a written contract with them. When I ask them to remove this report from the bureaus, they said " they can not do anything unless I verify my personal information with them first '' This has turned predatorial and also releases me from the original contract. I did not reenter any written contract nor sign any paper work with this company. They are asking to pay them over XXXX which wasn't even the balance of the original contract either. Further I did not give any permission for this company to report anything to any credit bureau. They have did this without my acknowledgement. They have not been able to verify anything of this said account.
