XXXX, Trans Union, XXXX you are required by law to produce my credit reports. You've continued over 18 years to deny me that right three to four times a year. Not only have you denied me the right to see my credit reports until just recently when I filed a complaint with the CFPB, Trans Union, You are refusing to fix the inaccuracies that you've allowed to occur on my credit report. You willfully and intentionally deny me my rights over the course of 18 years. So I'm going to put it this way, seeing as that you're playing the ID game again. 

You are a direct violation of 15 USC 1681 EB and 15 USC 1681 S2 and 15 USC 1681 I XXXX... 

I told you Trans Union, I am tired of playing your games.

Dear CFPB, I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to address a matter of significant concern regarding my experience as a consumer with XXXX XXXX. 

It has come to my attention that XXXX XXXX is currently facing legal action initiated by the New York State Attorney General for allegations of predatory lending practices. Regrettably, I find myself among the victims of such practices, which transpired between the dates of XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX. 

In XX/XX/XXXX, just XXXX weeks after purchasing the vehicle, I discovered that the dealership had been closed down. Attempting to rectify the situation, I approached XXXX XXXX, requesting a refund and the return of the car. Unfortunately, my plea was met with refusal, and instead, I found myself burdened with high payments that were beyond my financial means. 

The situation worsened when the economic challenges brought about by the Covid-19 pandemic left me unemployed from XXXX to XXXX. Consequently, I faced difficulties in meeting the financial obligations, leading to the repossession of my car by XXXX XXXX. 

In my pursuit to rebuild my financial standing, I have encountered persistent challenges in removing XXXX XXXX from my credit report. Despite a brief period where they were removed, they reappeared XXXX months later, negatively impacting my credit score. This has impeded my efforts to secure housing and hindered my ability to make significant financial decisions. 

I am currently employed and committed to improving my credit score to achieve financial stability. I kindly request your assistance in rectifying this matter promptly and ensuring the accurate representation of my credit history. 

I believe that resolving this issue will contribute positively to my efforts to rebuild my credit and enable me to make responsible financial choices in the future. I appreciate your prompt attention to this matter and look forward to a swift resolution. 

Sincerely, [ XXXX XXXX XXXX ]
