Complaint:
I bought a few cars. When I go to the dealership I tell them I already want to do business with a certain Bank, like XXXX XXXX or XXXX XXXX. I tell them not to run my credit through anyone else. but they do it anyway and send me to XXXX or XXXX banks to try and get a better deal without notifying me or with my permission. 
Per credit reporting bureaus I have to contact these banks to have them remove their inquiry. I've contacted these banks and they all say they don't have my information on file. 
So I was told I can get help here. 

Thank you, Below are the list of banks and companies that were not authorized to check my credit.
