Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Improper use of your report — Reporting company used your report improperly
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (TX)

The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) is all about making sure credit reporting is fair and accurate. When there are violations under the FCRA, it messes up the banking system, which relies on accurate credit reports. Unfair credit reporting can also shake people 's trust in the system. So, if any of my accounts get reported without my permission, that's basically identity theft, and it's a breach of my privacy since I should have control over what's listed. Luckily, there are laws like 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2 that protects me.

This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This leads to civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n, which allows for {$1000.00} per violation, for accounts listed without my expressed written consent. These accounts are not related to any transactions made by me, the consumer. 

I still never gave them no written content to furnish these fraudulent inquiries/inaccurate accounts/late payments. They also violated 15 USC 1681i 5 & 7 and verified these accounts, and violated 15 USC 1681a ( 2 ) ( B ). The law states that any authorization or approval of a specific extension of credit directly or indirectly by the issuer of a credit card or similar device are not supposed to be included in a consumer report, and this reported information was an EXPERIENCE of mine. 

Also, this company violated 15 USC 1681a ( 2 ) ( b ) which states that a consumer report does not include any authorization or approval of a specific extension of credit directly or indirectly by the issuer of a credit card or similar device. 

An exclusion means that is it not supposed to be on there. Additionally, a credit card is defined in the Truth and Lending Act q5 uSc 1602 ( l ) - the term credit card means any card, plate, coupon book or other credit device existing for the purpose of obtaining money, property, labor, or services on credit. Any card is referring to the fact that my credit card or social security number in this context was used when I did business, because my social security number was used to extend credit to myself in this transaction.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (FL)

Despite multiple attempts, I have been unable to resolve the issue of fraudulent inquiries appearing on my consumer report. These inquiries are not associated with me in any way, and I bear no responsibility for them. Their presence has caused significant mental and financial distress. As a victim of identity theft, I have no alternative but to consider legal action if this matter is not appropriately addressed. These inaccurate and fraudulent items on my consumer report have hindered my ability to purchase my dream house and provide for my family 's needs. The impact on my financial well-being has been substantial. For your reference, I have attached a copy of the letter I previously sent to the Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ), which outlines this issue and seeks resolution.

Issue: Managing the loan or lease — Problem with fees charged
Company: CREDIT ACCEPTANCE CORPORATION (MI)

During the car financing process with Credit Acceptance, my rights were violated in several ways. Initially, the terms of the agreement included a car cost of {$8000.00} and a down payment of {$3000.00}. However, Credit Acceptance charged an exorbitant interest rate of 22.9 %, significantly inflating the loan amount and burdening me with excessive costs.

The impact of the pandemic on my payments was severe, but I managed to make two substantial payments to significantly reduce the loan amount. However, to my surprise, after six months, the outstanding amount mysteriously increased to almost its original value of {$7000.00}. This sudden increase raises concerns about hidden costs and unfair practices by Credit Acceptance. 

Despite making payment arrangements and fulfilling my obligations, the car was repeatedly repossessed by Credit Acceptance. These repossessions occurred even when payments were made, leaving me in a constant state of uncertainty. These illegal repossessions led to additional fees and worsened my financial situation, pushing me further into debt. 

Moreover, Credit Acceptance consistently overcharged interest, exacerbating my financial struggles and making it increasingly difficult to pay off the loan. These actions have had a detrimental effect on my credit standing, making it challenging to secure future loans or financial opportunities. The financial impact of Credit Acceptance 's violations has significantly disrupted my life and caused immense stress and hardship.

Issue: Applying for a mortgage or refinancing an existing mortgage — Confusing or misleading advertising or marketing
Company: Rocket Mortgage, LLC (NJ)

On around XX/XX/2023, I contacted Rocket Mortgage with the interest of applying for a mortgage and specifically the NJ first time buyers Down Payment Assistance program. This program, I later found out, involves the loan being carried by the state and only underwritten by a banker. Rocket is not an approved lender for this program. 

I spoke with XXXX XXXX and asked him to research this program for me. He looked into it for several hours and then lied to me, making up some story about how the program has run out of funding for the year and that I should still apply with Rocket because they could try to find other ways to help and maybe the program would be started next fiscal year. 

It was only weeks later, once they had hard pulled our credit, that XXXX finally told me the reason Rocket doesnt partake in the program, after I had done more research on my own and caught his lie. 

He was totally ok lying directly to me and costing me {$15000.00} in down payment assistance to try to make commission. He knew the program wasnt going to be funded in a year, and was just hoping we would close before then. 

Not only that, but Rocket mortgage leadership continues to brush over and cover up the fact that their mortgage banker is lying to consumers and hindering the path to home ownership. They keep saying it was a miscommunication or that he didnt understand the request. I clearly asked about the NJ DPA program. There is only one. They take no ownership of the problem and have offered nothing to compensate for days of my time wasted.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (FL)

I submitted a dispute with Transunion on XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX and again on XX/XX/XXXX regarding an inaccurate listing on my credit report from XXXX XXXX XXXX. I opened up a credit line with them in XXXX. The credit line was never used and there were never any balances owed on this account, however, when I filed a XXXX XXXX bankruptcy in XX/XX/XXXX, the company closed my account and listed it as a charge off. Transunion has not sent me the results of these investigations, other than stating my credit report was " updated ''. When I followed up with Transunion, they only told me that the company was confirming or validating the reporting. 

I volunteered to send proof to Transunion that the company was never reported on my bankruptcy because there was never any balance owed. Transunion stated due to a new open investigation they were not able to use my information to correct this inaccuracy. I was unable to get a copy of my Transunion credit report but am attaching a copy of my other credit reports as proof there was never a balance owed to this company.
