would like you to remove all the inaccurate and misleading information from my credit report. These inaccurate details have adversely affected my credit worthiness and hampered my chances of acquiring new credit. Under the provisions of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), I demand that the following items in my credit report be re-verified and removed : I have attached the proof that the above items are inaccurate for your convenience. XXXX XXXX XXXX Under the FCRA XXXX you must re-verify the items and get them removed within 30 business days of receipt of this letter, to avoid violation of the law. Please notify me of the changes and forward me the updated copy of my credit report to the address referenced above. I have highlighted all the inaccurate information that has been reporting as well as the incorrect information that the company has provided, which proves that this company XXXX XXXX pushes dealers to sell cars with hidden interest costs and surreptitiously include expensive add-on products with vehicle sales. The complaint further alleges that XXXX XXXX applies complicated algorithms to predict how much it is likely to collect from borrowers to determine how much to offer dealers for each loan, resulting in high-cost loanswith annual percentage rates ( XXXX ) often exceeding state usury capsmade without regard for borrowers ability to repay, while still yielding profits for XXXX XXXX. A significant number of XXXX XXXX most credit-constrained borrowers become delinquent on their loans within the first year, and many also lose their cars to repossession and auction or suffer other negative effects from the loans. The joint complaint alleges that XXXX XXXX is engaging in deceptive acts or practices in violation of the Consumer Financial Protection Act of 2010 by misrepresenting key loan terms, including the true principal, finance charge, and XXXX. The joint complaint further alleges that XXXX XXXX is engaging in abusive acts or practices by taking unreasonable advantage of consumers lack of understanding of the risk of default and the severity of the consequences associated with its loans and taking unreasonable advantage of consumers inability to protect their interests in selecting or using XXXX XXXX XXXX. The joint complaint also alleges that XXXX XXXX substantially assists dealers in the deceptive sale of add-on products. The complaint seeks permanent injunctive relief, damages, and civil money penalties. My {$5000.00} downpayment was never even applied towards my loan balance it actually increased from XXXX to XXXX how was that possible. The fact that they advised that car dealership never file a claim for the engine is strange to me the car sat at the dealer car shop allegedly going back and forth requesting. The car dealership has actually gone out business backup for its practices as well. 

I have written about this company several times and each time more inaccurate information is added to my credit profiles. XXXX has stated that they could not locate my credit profile, however they update more inaccurate information for this account 76 days ago that I have attached. I would like this account removed from my credit profile immediately. This company practices were investigated and deem to be in a class action lawsuit they have agreed to remove all charges as well. Please I would like to obtain monetary compensation at this point for the reporting of the inaccurate information that these companies keep places on my credit profile.
