Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account information incorrect
Company: CREDIT ACCEPTANCE CORPORATION (NC)

I disputed an account from Credit Acceptance Corp through XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX. XXXX says that the account will remain because the creditor verified that the information they have is correct. They said I should contact the creditor myself. I sent a letter to the creditor via certified mail dated XXXX XXXX, requesting validation of this account by way of a signed contact dated XX/XX/XXXX. My letter was received and signed for on XX/XX/XXXX by Credit Acceptance Corp. I also mailed a copy of my letter to CFPB, XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX. All 3 credit bureaus opened another dispute when they received my letter. Today, XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX says again, the account shall remain, because the creditor claims the information to be true and the bureau is only a data collector. The creditor has not sent any validation that I opened any type of account with them XX/XX/XXXX, as I did not. This creditor can not provide a signed contract that doesn't exist.

This is not a duplicate nor is this complaint filed by a third party. I am filing this complaint myself. Please see this complaint is processed to the letter of the law. It appears that my credit file has been compromised. Again, I was going through my records & noticed many items which do not belong to me. Since Im a stickler for research, I found that under section 605b of the FCRA you are required by law to remove & block any items which are found to be opened due to identity theft. The dispute items do not belong to me. Im attaching the required FTC Report for you and the bank 's records ( learned through more research both parties require ). Please block/remove these files.

Issue: Managing an account — Problem using a debit or ATM card
Company: ALLY FINANCIAL INC. (VA)

On XX/XX/06, I contacted Ally Bank as I was having issues with withdrawing cash from my debit card using an ATM while on travel to XXXX. After waiting for a customer service representative for OVER AN HOUR, I was told that there was a fraud block on my account and that lifting that block would allow me to use that card. Ok, no problem. I wasn't able to test it while with the agent as I was near physically near an ATM, so I took her for her word. When I tried withdrawing cash from an ATM at XXXX XXXX, a cash only merchant, I was unable to withdraw funds. Great. I call the next day and again the wait time to get a customer service agent is over an hour. This one tells me that the issue is related to too many failed attempts instead of just the initial fraud block and informs me that everything has been resolved. Again, not near an ATM, so unable to validate the agent 's word unfortunately. At night, I try to withdraw cash from an ATM and as expected, still doesn't work. I try for a third time, and again wait for OVER AN HOUR to get an agent on the line and this time the agent tells me that she'll have to transfer me to another agent without giving me a reason as to why and I'm placed back in the wait queue for an hour. Absolutely ridiculous. Not to mention that the other times where I've waited and finally connected, the call ends abruptly. I suspect that agents are taking the call and purposely ending it to clear their backlog. This is the most ridiculous customer service experience I've had with any financial institution and it's ludicrous that I'm unable to withdraw money from my checking account when I want/ need to. Ally Bank needs to ramp up staffing for their call centers and provide adequate training for their representatives to resolve banking issues.

On XX/XX/XXXX, I reserved 2 hotel rooms for a future date in the XXXX mobile application at the XXXX XXXX in XXXX XXXX and was never presented with a disclosure that the hotel required a deposit to hold the reservation. In addition, the hotel even calls out that one can cancel the reservation without any penalties a number of days prior to the reservation date. On XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX Hotel in XXXX XXXX charged my XXXX XXXX credit card for a hotel reservation in XXXX XXXX two separate charges of {$660.00}. I contact the XXXX XXXX and they apologizes for the charges and would reverse them. These charges were presented on my XX/XX/XXXX statement ( Payment due date ). 

My XX/XX/XXXX statement showed only one charged had been credited back to my XXXX XXXX account on XXXX XXXX, XXXX. So contacted the hotel again explaining to them the situation as I had now received a notification that a credit bureau had been informed that my account with Chase ( XXXX XXXX ) was delinquent. The XXXX XXXX XXXX accounting department called me back later on XX/XX/XXXX to inform me that they had made a mistake and that their account system only processed one of the two charges. 

This morning ( XX/XX/XXXX ) I reached out to Chase seeking their assistance in reversing the delinquent notice to the credit union. They explained to me that I was at fault for assuming that the XXXX XXXX, their partner and affiliate for the XXXX XXXX card, would have processed both refunds. They went on to say that I should have paid the minimum balance for a charge I did not approve and attempted to handled directly with their partner and merchant, XXXX. Chase had initial informed me that I could dispute this charge but it would be easier if I contacted their partner, the XXXX XXXX. They did not disclosure to me the potential impact by not opening a dispute if this situation went on for some time. The Chase Credit Bureau Specialist Unit further stated that I need to contact the credit bureaus to resolve my issue and reiterated that I should have paid the minimum and I could have called back to ask for my money back. They were able to see this morning that the refund from the XXXX XXXX in XXXX XXXX was pending and would clear tonight. 

My concern is what is a consumer supposed to do if a credit card company is not willing to assist one of their customers when the credit card company 's partner illegal charges that customers credit card. At this time, my credit score has been impact by Chase 's actions along with XXXX XXXX.

On or about XX/XX/2018, I received a phone call from XXXX XXXX XXXX, on behalf of XXXX XXXX 's XXXX. They stated that I owe {$75.00} for services rendered and not paid for. I contend that I do not know of this company or hospital and have never received any care from the creditor in question. Previously, in XX/XX/2018, My home was burglarized at gunpoint. 5 armed thieves stole all of my personal Identification and all of my home electronics. A number of financial and home improvement accounts were opened in my name - fraudulently! I am 100 % adamant that I do not owe {$75.00} to XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX 's XXXX. The account in question was set-up using my personal identification, which was stolen in XX/XX/2018. I have had numerous battles with XXXX, XXXX and Equifax.
