I demand these accounts should be deleted immediately or I will file for litigation due to the stress you caused me.

I have tried to call repeatedly and speak with someone to settle and get on a payment plan for the amount owed and noone will answer. I have tried several options on the automated system that pops up when I call. When I spoke with them over a year ago they stated that they would not email me or mail me any information regarding this debt and at that time I had called them in the company of my credit councilor when I began trying to fix my credit. Since then I have made several attempts to call and they just don't answer. This debt is severely impacting my ability to purchase a home that I currently have under contract due to their failure to ensure that they are reachable or send me any information about this debt so that I can try to resolve this.

I have new and updated information from closed complaint XXXX. 
In my last complaint I stated that the dealership had shown no proof of the application. XXXX XXXX has sent over a copy of the application. See attached. Right above the signature of the application there is a statement that reads as follows : " You are notified pursuant to the Fair Credit Reporting Act, that your application may be submitted to the financial institutions named below or to other financial institutions.

I'd like to bring attention to the fact that the word " May '' is not a definitive term as it means expressing possibility. Making this statement deceptive.

Underneath this statement is a space for the names and addresses of financial institutions that may be contacted. That space is empty, there was no disclosure that these financial institutions would be receiving my credit report. Therefore XXXX XXXX, Exeter Finance Corp, and all other financial institutions contacted by this dealership by use of my signature on this deceptive form had no direct or indirect authorization, consent, or permissible purpose to review & furnish my report. This is proof of unfairness, partiality, and a violation to my right to privacy as a consumer from the dealership and financial institutions involved pursuant to The Fair Credit Reporting Act.

According to FCRA, if it can't be verified, it must be removed.

I have disputed the referenced accounts to the 3 main credit bureaus and do not owe your company anything. I dont know this company and I do not recall ever having this debt and appears to be fraud, see attached FTC Report. Moreover, no adequate information has been given and noticed these accounts appear to violate my rights as well, per 15 USC 1692 ( e ) ( f ) ( g ). Moreover, you stated the account was verified as accurate by law 15 USC 1681 ( e ). Per 15 USC 1681 ( e ) The term investigative consumer report means a consumer report or portion thereof in which information on a consumers character, general reputation, personal characteristics, or mode of living is obtained through personal interviews with neighbors, friends, or associates of the consumer reported on or with others with whom he is acquainted or who may have knowledge concerning any such items of information. However, such information shall not include specific factual information on a consumers credit record obtained directly from a creditor of the consumer or from a consumer reporting agency when such information was obtained directly from a creditor of the consumer or from the consumer. Investigations weren't completed as described by law and no factual information should be on credit reports. Im requesting removal of accounts and/or monetary compensation due to violations of my rights. Im currently seeking litigation regarding consistent harassment, unfair debt practices, adding without my permission/authorization within 5 days and more. As the original creditor, only I can validate the debt therefore Im requesting removal and this account violates my consumer rights in several ways. Please remove and provide some updates within 4 days of receipt, as this has been ongoing for over 3-4 months.

Please note that this is incorrect information. 

On XX/XX/2022, I waited to pull my credit reports from all three credit bureaus- XXXX, Equifax, and XXXX. Currently, the account in dispute - XXXX XXXX XXXX  Account XXXX is still reporting negatively on my Equifax and XXXX credit reports.

A credit repair company had opened an unauthorized account with " XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX '' on my behalf. I contacted XXXX XXXX on or around XX/XX/2021 advising them that the account was unauthorized. XXXX XXXX agreed and confirmed that they had sent requests to all three credit bureaus to have the account removed from my credit report. XXXX and XXXX removed the account without issue in 2021. Experian is the only bureau still falsely reporting the account as accurate. Experian is acting maliciously and willfully/negligently violating the FCRA by refusing requests to have the account removed by both myself and the company/creditor. Experian is pretending to investigate the matter ; they are blatantly lying and maliciously damaging my credit report. Experian must be sanctioned and penalties must be imposed as compensation, and injunctive relief to cease reporting of the account must be ordered.
