Issue: Problem with a purchase shown on your statement — Card was charged for something you did not purchase with the card
Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (VA)

I am writing to formally address a serious matter concerning the unauthorized disclosure of my credit information. As an individual deeply impacted by my upbringing and surrounding environment, the safeguarding of my personal data is of utmost importance to me. My unique circumstances have instilled in me a strong awareness of privacy and the critical need for consent in sharing sensitive information. 
Under the provisions of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), specifically referenced under 15 U.S. Code 1681b - & quot ; Permissible purposes of consumer reports, & quot ; it is clear that consumer reporting agencies are obligated to operate within strict boundaries to protect individual privacy. This statute mandates that such agencies may only release consumer reports under certain conditions, chiefly requiring the explicit, written consent of the individual concerned.

It has come to my attention that my credit information has been furnished by your agency without my authorization, in direct contravention of section 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( a ) ( 2 ). This section unequivocally requires my written approval prior to the dissemination of my credit report. The absence of my consent in this matter not only violates federal law but also disregards my personal rights to privacy and control over my financial information. 
Given this unauthorized action, I demand the prompt removal of all inaccurately reported information from my consumer report. Should these issues remain unaddressed, I am prepared to seek reparation through legal channels, including but not limited to, initiating a claim for damages in small claims court. 

I have taken the necessary steps to report this breach of the FCRA to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, the Attorney Generals Office, the XXXX XXXX XXXX, and the Federal Trade Commission. This escalation is aimed at ensuring comprehensive resolution and to prevent further misuse of my personal information. It is my hope that by involving these regulatory bodies, we can facilitate adherence to legal standards and protect the rights of consumers like myself. 
Your immediate attention to this matter is required. Failure to comply with the demands outlined in this letter will compel me to pursue all available legal remedies to protect my interests and ensure compliance with the FCRA.

Company: SANTANDER HOLDINGS USA, INC. (PA)

Hi, I believe I am a victim of a Predatory Loan and Auto Fraud. In 2018 I was pressured into a car sale with Santander Consumer as the loan company at XXXX XXXX XXXX dealership in XXXX XXXX. I believe they used fraud tactics to get me approved as I did not qualify or make enough to pay for the car properly. I already had an older Vehicle through a partnered dealersip for much less and was pressured to upgrade and trade in my car through the bigger and better dealership. They pressured me into a co signer in which they used my father who credit or income wasnt much better than mine. I believe they mixed and matched our information in order to get me approved. The Co borrower and Borrower are different on the dealership forms and the loan forms on one i am the co borrower XXXX XXXX and on the other my father who is now deceased is the co borrower XXXX XXXX XXXX. The attachments below will show the the differences and all the unfair intrest that was applied. This company had a class action lawsuit that I should have been apart of considering I met all requirements but I was never contacted. I would like to receive full compensation for all payments made and or have the vehicle payments ended and car title released to me as the owner. Lastly I also believe im intilted to compensation because santander had my car repossed in a breached peace manner multilple times in which I had to pay thousands of dollars to get my car back.

I am writing to formally dispute a late payment entry that has appeared on my credit report. The report indicates a late payment in my credit report, which I strongly believe is erroneous and not verified. Throughout my financial history with the financial agencies I am doing business with, I have consistently met all payment deadlines without fail. Therefore, the presence of this late payment is undoubtedly a result of a billing error on the part of the creditor. I request a thorough investigation into this matter to verify the accuracy of the reported late payment and urge for its prompt correction. It is imperative that such inaccuracies are rectified swiftly, as they impact my financial standing and credibility. I have contacted the financial agencies in the last more than 30 days to seek clarification but I got no response because this is erroneously reported for they have provided NO PROOF that there was a REAL late payment. Your immediate attention to this matter is greatly appreciated.

I'm writing to communicate my XXXX and present a protest to EXPERIAN with respect to the ill-advised utilization of my credit report and the revealing of incorrect data on my record. I recently sent a letter to your office mentioning an examination concerning specific mysterious records. 
Regardless of your affirmation of leading a legitimate examination, after checking on my credit report, I found that erroneous data endures. The disparities incorporate however are not restricted to, the date opened, date of last action, date revealed, account status, and installment history. It is dampening to take note of that such errors keep on being reflected in my credit report, notwithstanding the underlying solicitation for examination. I trust what is happening encroaches upon my privileges as framed in 15 U.S.C 1681 section 602 A, which underlines my right to protection.

Moreover, 15 U.S.C 1681 section 604 A Section 2 specifies that a shopper detailing organization can't outfit a record without my composed guidelines. I compassionately demand an exhaustive survey of my case and the brief revision of the errors in my credit report. Your participation in settling this matter is profoundly valued. That's what I believe, as a legitimate credit revealing office, EXPERIAN will do whatever it takes to correct this present circumstance and guarantee the exactness of the data in my credit record. I have attached the FTC report with the report number XXXX to support this complaint
