You may seek damages from violators. ... XXXX, Banks, savings associations, and credit unions with total assets of over {$10.00} XXXX and their affiliates ... FTC Regional Office for region in which the credit operates or Federal Trade Commission : ... 

XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX was the likely source of the complaints to the Federal Trade Commission accusing XXXX  of falsifying income information on loan applications, says XXXX co-owner and general manager XXXX XXXX. 

XXXX also believes that complaints from the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX spurred the FTC to take action which began in XXXX of XXXX. 

The FTC complaint, echoing those from XXXX and the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, accuses XXXX XXXX XXXX of doctoring up loan applications, reporting false customer income amounts and false advertising. 

The FTC came to us and said were prepared to file this complaint unless you settle with us, XXXX said. In the negotiations that followed, XXXX said, it became apparent to him that the FTCs case was short on facts. Initially, XXXX said, the FTC proposed a settlement that would have had XXXX paying {$1.00} XXXX. That amount being offered now is down to {$500000.00}. 

When XXXX  confronted the FTC, questioning the veracity of information from XXXX, the agency brought up the complaints from the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. The FTC said nearly 50 percent of the complaints from XXXX car buyers were aimed at XXXX. 

XXXX said his next move was to send his XXXX XXXX XXXX, a XXXX, to explore the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX data. What he found out was that they went around to the XXXX Houses and asked people if they had any complaints. It is true that the majority of complaints were about XXXX, but many of them were about things like I didnt get my payment book, things unrelated to the deal. 

With three dealerships in XXXX XXXX border towns, XXXX said, his company likely sold the most vehicles to XXXX  and its not surprising that his dealerships were mentioned most in complaints. 

From the thousands of cars and trucks that XXXX has sold to people who live on the XXXX XXXX, XXXX said, of the total number of complaints the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX gathered around 30 or 40 are about XXXX. 

They all know XXXX a bad actor, thats been proven, XXXX said. But, I think the FTC wants to go after dealers that benefitted from this. I think theyre suggesting that there are dealers that exploited it, saying dealers should have acted when XXXX  didnt. 

XX/XX/XXXX - The dealer may hold onto the contract, but typically, it's sold to a bank ... settle the FTC 's charges that the company violated the FTC Act. CPS ... Every consumer has the right to be treated fairly when it comes to debt collection.

Complaint sub-issue: Public record information inaccurate

Without my knowledge, XXXX XXXX created an entry that was sent to the CLUE ( Comprehensive Loss Underwriting Exchange ) operated by Lexus Nexus. The entry is dated XX/XX/XXXX. We did not know of the existence of this entry until XX/XX/XXXX. XXXX XXXX has raised our insurance premium for renewal by 108.4 %. By creating this entry that appears as a claim that paid out {$0.00}, the result is that competitive insurance carriers will not quote us for a new property insurance policy or want to place a surcharge on the premium they quote. We can not shop for competitive rates. 

My contact with XXXXexus Nexus by phone ( a recorded conversation that I asked to be preserved ) on XX/XX/XXXX resulted in a conversation in which I requested that this entry is disputed and should be removed. They replied that they will look into this and respond within 30 days, making my ability to shop for insurance highly limited. 

Since I was never notified of this adverse entry in the Lexus Nexus database by XXXX XXXX, which is equivalent to a negative credit report, I feel both companies should be financially punished by the Federal Government or whoever regulates their behavior regarding consumers since I had no opportunity to dispute the entry until present time. 

XXXX created a reference number for the disputed entry of : XXXX
