Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt is not yours
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (PA)

I want to stress that I did not give written permission for these specific transactions to be included in my consumer report. At no point did I authorize these entries, and their presence on my report is unwarranted. Consequently, I am formally requesting that these accounts be blocked and removed from my report immediately.

It is important to clarify that this request is not due to any error or negligence on my part. There has been no oversight or misunderstanding on my end. Instead, this issue arises solely from the fact that I did not explicitly authorize the inclusion of these transactions in my report. I am diligent about maintaining the accuracy and privacy of my financial records, and these unauthorized entries compromise that integrity.

I trust that you will handle this matter with the urgency and seriousness it deserves. Please confirm the removal of these transactions from my report as soon as possible. Thank you for your prompt attention to this issue.

Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Investigation took more than 30 days
Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (NY)

I have already sent a letter addressing the inaccuracies and unknown items on my credit report, but unfortunately, I have not received any response even after 30 days. It feels like I'm being taken advantage of and my disputes are being ignored. According to Section 611 ( a ), if these items are not investigated within 30 days, they should be promptly removed from my credit report. Since it has been over 30 days, I expect these accounts to be updated immediately. If not, I will have no choice but to pursue legal action due to the stress this situation has caused me. Additionally, my information was also affected by the Equifax, XXXX, and XXXX data breach, which raises concerns about the security of my personal data.

Company: FORD MOTOR CREDIT CO. (OK)

I received a demand letter from XXXX, XXXX and XXXX XXXX. in XXXX, regarding a auto loan with ford motor credit-I took out a auto loan with Ford and was told by the dealership that it was a requirement from ford that I had to have an extend service contract. After finding out that this was wrong and a fraud loan, I sent back the car to ford-and I was working with them while they were suppose to be investigating the dealership. I sent them out a validation letter requesting : 1 ) since they are the law firm representing Ford, what was the results of the investigation. 2 ) Per the contract, I signed with Ford, I agreed that the contract will be governed by the laws of the state of Kansas-How were they able to sue or collect the debt under the laws of Oklahoma. They did not answer these questions-they just sent me back my contract with Ford, and a letter stating what I owed. Also, I was looking at my credit today, and found an inquiry from this law firm, requesting my credit-I did n't sign ANYTHING, that allows them to checking my credit. At this point-I have tried to contact the law firm and I get nowhere-I would like them to send this account back to Ford, where I can deal with the balance owe directly and get the answers that are owed to me. And I want the Inquiry and any credit reporting removed from credit report.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (NC)

Dear TransUnion Dispute Department, I am writing to dispute a collection account on my credit report which is being reported by XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. The account in question has negatively impacted my credit score and financial wellbeing, and I believe it should be removed from my credit report. 

I have reviewed my credit report and found that XXXX XXXX, XXXX has reported a debt that is not valid or accurate. I have no knowledge or record of this debt and I believe that it has been reported in error. Furthermore, I have not received any notice or correspondence from XXXX XXXX, XXXX regarding this alleged debt. 

As an informed consumer, I am aware of my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and I request that TransUnion conduct an investigation into this matter. Specifically, I request that TransUnion contact XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX and request verification of this debt, including documentation that supports the accuracy of the information being reported. 

Please note that as a consumer, I am entitled to see the source of the information that is being reported on my credit report. This includes the original contract that contains my signature. I request that this documentation be provided as part of the verification process. 

I also want to emphasize that a breakdown of charges is not considered verification of debt. I request that XXXXXXXX XXXX  XXXX provide proper validation of this debt, which includes a complete chain of title for the debt and proof that they are legally entitled to collect on it. 

According to the FCRA, 611 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ), if a consumer disputes the accuracy of any information on their credit report, the credit reporting agency must conduct a reasonable investigation within 30 days and review all relevant information provided by the consumer. If the information can not be verified or is found to be inaccurate, the credit reporting agency must promptly delete or modify the information. 

Furthermore, according to FCRA 609 ( a ) ( 1 ), a consumer has the right to request and obtain all information about them that is being reported by a credit reporting agency. This includes the right to request the original contract and a complete chain of title for any debt that is being reported. 

Finally, I request that TransUnion delete this collection account from my credit report if XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX is unable to provide verification of the debt within the 30-day period required by the FCRA. It is my belief that this account has been reported in error, and I respectfully request that TransUnion take immediate action to correct this error. 

Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter.

Product: Vehicle loan or lease — Loan
Issue: Managing the loan or lease — Billing problem
Company: Westlake Services, LLC (NH)

I have an automobile loan with Westlake Financial. I have been making the regular payments, some on time and some late, it was never an issue. At approximately   XXXX   on   XXXX   XXXX  , 2017 they had   XXXX   XXXX   Repossess the vehicle. Upon leaving our property the driver of the tow truck drove approximately 40 miles in the opposite direction of the final holding location in  XXXX , NH. I know this because we have a vehicle tracking device installed. You do not need to drive west, north, east then south to get to a location that is east of where I live, unless you are trying to charge more for mileage At   XXXX   I called Westlake and was told I would have to pay the past due payments and all late fees on my account, plus the repo & storage fees in order to get the vehicle back. This amounted to {$1500.00}. They also told me I had 3 days to pay it or the vehicle would be sold.
I asked them to waive the late fees or put it on the end of the loan and was told that they could not do that, but that they could put the {$350.00} repo fees on the end, which would bring the amount to {$1200.00} which I paid on   XXXX   XXXX  , 2017. I was also told the storage fees would be {$30.00} total, but now I am being charged {$60.00} because Westlake took there time They also insisted that I give them all the same information references, proof of income and residency again. This is information that they were given less than 2 years ago at the onset of the loan.
They did not release the vehicle back to me until   XXXX   XXXX  , 2017 because they had n't scanned my information into the computer the day prior. Lame excuse.
When they applied the money to my account they put it on only payments and not late fees, storage or repo fees. They applied it towards past payments and the   XXXX   payment which was due on   XXXX   XXXX  . It covered all but {$22.00} of the   XXXX   payment, on   XXXX   XXXX   they started calling me in regards to the {$22.00} being past due. Seriously.
Then today  XXXX / XXXX /17 I received a letter in the mail from them " Notice of Intent to Sell '' which was dated on  XXXX / XXXX /17, 3 days after the vehicle was released back to me. I immediately called Westlake and was told well the letter was actually printed on  XXXX / XXXX /17 regardless what day the claim to have printed it does not matter whereas it was released on  XXXX / XXXX /17 so why print and mail the letter at all. I was told to disregard the letter by the person that answered the phone, but I am concerned They also robo call you when your payments are late. They also call at all hours of the day and night, multiple times per day on both my cell phone and home phone.
