Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (OR)

" I am writing to formally file a complaint regarding unauthorized accounts that persist on my credit report despite my repeated efforts to have them removed. These accounts are causing significant damage to my financial reputation and overall well-being. It is evident that the inclusion of these fraudulent items violates 15 USC 1681b regarding permissible purposes, as the credit bureaus have no legitimate reason to report them without my explicit consent. Please refer to the attached file detailing these items I am disputing.

The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( 1 ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence, which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system. So whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not. In the event that any accounts are reported without my written consent, that is considered identity theft. ''

Company: HYUNDAI CAPITAL AMERICA (NJ)

I calledKIA motors finance on XXXX XXXXor a payoff amount on my XXXX KIA. I was given an amount that would have had me paying over {$400.00} more then originally owed. When I asked to have it explained to me all they would say is I had to pay the payoff amount they showed and I would get a refund after overpaying. Loan details were for 36 months at {$330.00} per month for a total payment of {$12000.00}. Which the representative acknowledged would have the total loan repaid. However, after I made 34 on time payments of {$350.00} each thinking I would cut approximately one payment at the end. I overpaid {$400.00} in total which I come to find out they do n't take that amount from the principal but for some reason a portion is applied to some form of unearned interest. I 'm unable to get my brain around this as the representative along with her supervisor XXXX, which I requested, he also would only say I had to overpay and trust them to return any excess. This defies logic, why would I pay more then owed. Is this legal? I have no idea if I have any recourse but to do as they say and overpay and just trust them? Who writes the laws that allow a company to do this type of accounting?

Company: Stone Haven Capital (KS)

I believe my vehicle was illegally repossessed. I financed a vehicle through Stone Haven Capital in Oklahoma. I live in Kansas, I understand laws fall to the state of the company. They threatened to illegally repossess my truck in XX/XX/year> for being a singular day late. Even went as far as to have a fake tow company text my cell phone, law states that I am given a 10 grace period through both Kansas and Oklahoma. They tried to use intimidation and malicious tactics to force me to pay immediately. This within itself is a breach of most any contract especially on their end for antitrust. ( All of this came after I requested a 10 day pay off to transfer my business elsewhere ). I forced them to issue a right to cure notice. Made up the payment, not once during the duration of my loan did I ever have a late payment. Not even 10 days to this point. Not a single payment has been reported to a credit bureau. In XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX I had a lapse of auto insurance due to a water damaged cell phone ( couldnt make the payment without account access ). I have all of the receipts of how long it took to get a new phone as I travel for a living and they arent always easily available. I also have a receipt from my insurance provider showing I made a payment on XX/XX/year>. I Immediately got insurance reinstated on the vehicle. That following weekend my truck was repossessed out of my coworkers driveway. It stayed there as we carpooled frequently. My contract states that if I fail to maintain auto insurance that it would be provided to me at a premium rate. They opted not to accommodate the term of the loan and chose to take my vehicle. The insurance lapse was less than 30 total days. That doesnt justify the fact that it lapsed, its just a bit ridiculous to have a loan for the duration of time I had and to default due to insurance that was quickly reinstated. These folks run their business through texting their customers and a XXXX XXXX XXXX It was who the dealership had as their financing company. The dealership was XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX Oklahoma.
