Issue: Improper use of your report — Credit inquiries on your report that you don't recognize
Company: General Motors Financial Company, Inc. (PA)

This complaint is against AMERICREDIT Until viewing my credit file, I had never heard of this company. I have been disputing an inquiry this company placed on my credit file, without my permission. My initial dispute started in XXXX of XXXX. All three credit bureaus come back with first a stall tactic and then a fake validation letter. 

According to the credit bureaus, they have confirmed with this company that the inquiry belongs to me and that you are not removing it. I Demand that you do IMMEDIATELY! I have lost all my patience and this is the final attempt before I file legal action against this company. 

I have been the victim of ID theft. I was in a XXXX XXXX early last year and someone made an attempt to apply for unemployment in my name. I have short term XXXX from my job so knew this wasnt me. A few months later they made several attempts to obtain credit cards and car loans in my name. There are 4 inquiries from Americredit on my report. No one in their right mind would put that many credit inquiries, apply to the same company, in such a short amount of time. I have not applied for any auto loans or credit cards and do not wish to. It's obvious this is fraud. 

Since this agency is reporting that the inquiry is valid then I demand to see the proof. Also, prove that it is actually me that made the inquiry 1.I demand the original credit application signed by me, showing my wet ink signature? You dont because it doesnt exist. 
2.Did you even make an attempt to investigate this matter to prove it was actually me? Again, no you did not as I was never contacted by this company in regards to this so-called fake investigation. 
3. I demand a full ledger of every step of your investigative process, for each dispute submitted by me. 

To continually ignore my request for validation shows malicious and willful noncompliance, which is against Federal Law. You have violated many federal laws in The Privacy Act of 1974. One agency is not allowed to share information with another agency without a consumers consent. 15 UCS 1681 Section 604 A Section 2 - clearly states any furnisher of consumer reporting is to have written consent from the consumer before reporting and item. Americredit did not have my consent. 

I have reported this fraud to the proper authorities. I am demanding you remove all inquiries made by this company to all three credit bureaus immediately. Federal law states that fraudulent items are to be removed within 4 days. You have run out of time. If these inquiries are not removed and proof of this action has not been sent to me I WILL TAKE LEGAL ACTION AGAINST YOU. Violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act is {$1000.00} per violation. Since you have decided to ignore or perform proper due diligence when I demanded an investigation, you are responsible. You are the furnisher of this information, so the burden of proof and all liability is on you. At this time, I am demanding {$2000.00}, for the violations and the immediate removal of all inquiries from this company. 

The following inquires were placed fraudulently on my report on XXXX. XX/XX/XXXX XXXX. XX/XX/XXXX Your expeditious handling of this matter is expected.
