I filed a dispute for incorrect information on my credit report. I received an email from the credit bureau stating that they are assuming the disputes are coming from a 3rd party. They in fact did not come from a 3rd party. l even called them to verify it was me and they still refused to process my disputes. I wasted money on mailing my disputes out. I sent personal information to verify my identity through mail, just for them to not thoroughly investigate.

Issue: Struggling to pay your loan — Loan balance remaining after the vehicle is repossessed and sold
Company: Capital Auto Credit, LLC (OH)

On XX/XX/2023, I purchased a car at XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX in XXXX Ohio. The car was financed through XXXX XXXX XXXX in XXXX Ohio. I put a {$1000.00} down payment. My first payment in the amount of {$330.00} was due XX/XX/XXXX. The car was repossessed XX/XX/XXXX. I tried to make a payment and was told that I could not by XXXX with XXXX XXXX XXXX. She told that I did not have any redemption rights. I spoke with XXXX who told me that he is a XXXX who works with the Collections Department and helps make the decision as a collective to determine if redemption rights will be given. I asked him to please see if anything could be done. he said that he would get back with me. I called back later that day & XXXX said that a note was in my file that they would reach back out but it could be a few business days. I had my XXXX  call back Monday & XXXX stated again I don't have any redemption rights and the belongings inside of my car were at the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  location. XXXX XXXX told us that no notice has to be sent out, i assume somebody corrected her & because she came back & said a notice would be sent out within 5 days. We had Attorney XXXX XXXX reach out to them to regarding the Ohio revised code. XXXX again stated, we have no redemption rights. My XXXX  spoke with XXXX a XXXX who stated that XXXX did not have the Authority to make those decisions. He further stated that the loan would not be reinstated and they wanted the full amount to recover the car. My XXXX explained the my contract states I have a right to reinstate the loan as well as the Ohio revised code Section 1317.12. The ohio revised code Section 1317.12 also states that they must send me a notice within 5 days of repossessing the car, stating how much it would be to cure the default, if I choose not to cure the default, what their plans are with the car, the car must be sold at an auction and publicized in the local newspaper & sold at fair market value. XXXX simply stated he doesn't know the law and I should probably get a Lawyer if i want to do anything because calling there will not solve anything. Today I see that they have my car for sale at XXXX XXXX XXXX in XXXX Ohio for {$1000.00} less than what I paid & i still not have not received any notice.

Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Was not notified of investigation status or results
Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (NC)

On XX/XX/year>, I sent a dispute letter to Equifax via mail, requesting an investigation into inaccurate items on my credit report. Additionally, I disputed incorrect personal information listed on my credit report. I took all necessary steps to ensure the accuracy of my dispute by including copies of my photo ID, social security card, and a recent bill displaying my current address. Despite sending a dispute letter with all the required documentation, I did not receive any response from Equifax regarding the investigation results. Equifaxs failure to respond with the results of the investigation into the disputed items on my credit report violates their obligation and my consumer rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act. Additionally, Equifaxs lack of response leaves me without information about the status of my dispute and prevents me from taking appropriate action to address inaccuracies on my credit report. 

According to the FCRA, if the completeness or accuracy of any item of information in a consumer 's file at a credit bureau is disputed by the consumer, the bureau must conduct a reasonable reinvestigation to determine whether the disputed information is inaccurate.

I am formally contesting and requesting the expeditious removal of fraudulent accounts from my credit report. This dispute stems from a case of identity theft, for which I have filed a formal report with the Federal Trade Commission. Furthermore, I have engaged with the bank associated with the fraudulent accounts. The banks have acknowledged the legitimacy of the identity theft report and have identified a potential system glitch that has impeded access to the records. They have assured me of the prompt removal of the fraudulent accounts, which have erroneously remained on my report for over five years. However, these fraudulent accounts persist on my report under your bureau, and I am curious about the verification process you have undertaken. XXXX and XXXX credit bureaus have ceased reporting this fraudulent accounts since the submission of the requisite documents. I demand that you remove these fraudulent accounts from my report : XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ( Original Creditor : XXXX ) XXXX
