Product: Vehicle loan or lease — Loan
Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem — Investigation took more than 30 days
Company: CarMax, Inc.

Complaint:
I went to Carmax on XX/XX/XXXX and purchased a 2010 XXXX XXXX. The car came with a 90 day warranty, and the engine failed literally on the 91th day. Since the summer of XXXX, this car has been parked in my driveway undriveable since it needs a whole new engine. 

Regardless of the engine failure, I have always made my payments every single month. Approximately in XXXX of XXXX, my credit union XXXX XXXX merged with XXXX  XXXX XXXX XXXX, and it caused some problems with the routing # and account #. I was assured by the bank that I could continue to use my same account numbers to make my payments, as I had been for the entire year before. So every month I'd call CARMAX and make a payment over the phone using the same information I've been using. Well due to the merger, my payment was rejected for the month of XXXX, leading to a late payment in XXXX of XXXX. I was never notified by CARMAX of this. By the time I realized what was going on, this account was going on 60 days late and the only reason I found out was because I received a XXXX letter from Carmax. After speaking with Carmax they stated they tried to call me, but the phone number they called was entirely incorrect, it was not even close to my number. I've had the same number for 25 years, so it was not due to me changing my number and not notifying them, they simply had a wrong number and it was not my fault. As soon as I found out about this, the account was brought current. Since then, I only walk into CARMAX and make a payment physically to avoid this from happening.

Complaint:
Tried multiple time past year to have this one account XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX removed. I CALLED XXXX the original creditor. My first delinquency with them dated back to 2013. So these credit bureaus are NOT doing investigations as they say they are. The consumer law states 7 years from first delinquency with ORIGINAL CREDITOR. Its been TEN YEARS. This is a violation of my rights. They REFUSE to provide any proof of any information they have. They show no proof how they investigated. Again VIOLATING MY RIGHTS. If they would do their job and investigate they would see this company is fraudulent!

Issue: Managing an account — Problem using a debit or ATM card
Company: UNITED SERVICES AUTOMOBILE ASSOCIATION

Complaint:
This complaint is regarding poor customer service and issues using my ATM debit card overseas. On XX/XX/XXXX, I was traveling in XXXX and my ATM debit card suddenly stopped working at all ATMs though it continued to work for point-of-sale and internet transactions. I contacted USAA by telephone to report the issue but spoke to a representative who was clueless and could not tell me why my card was not working at ATMs but would work for other transactions. I then emailed USAA 's " executive communications '' channel. Although I marked the message as " urgent, '' explaining I could not withdraw cash while traveling overseas, I did not receive a response until four days later when someone named XXXX called me, supposedly from the " CEO 's office. '' She did not understand my issue and could not answer any of my questions. On XX/XX/XXXX, I again wrote to the " CEO 's office '' stating the issue was urgent, unresolved, and requesting it be escalated. On XX/XX/XXXX, I wrote again stating I received no response. I did not receive a response until XX/XX/XXXX, well after my trip abroad had ended, when XXXX wrote me a sloppily written email full of typos and grammatical errors. So it took 13 days to receive a substantive response and that response was barely legible. Additionally, I could not withdraw cash while traveling and USAA showed no sensitivity to the emergency and made little effort to resolve the issue rather than mail me a new card which I still have not received.

Complaint:
On XXXX, in the XXXX XXXX https : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, NY store XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX New York XXXX XXXX XXXX salesperson XXXX asked me to become a member of the store. She explained that this would result in a soft enquiry on my credit report ; after some questions she clarified that membership means a store credit card.

When Synchrony bank tried to confirm my identity on the phone, I asked them to confirm that it was soft credit enquiry. They confirmed it was a hard enquiry. I asked to stop the application, but Synchrony bank said the credit check has already been run at that point. 

XXXX, and her manager XXXX, confirmed that they understood the enquiry would result in a few points drop of credit score. They nevertheless called it a soft enquiry, claiming that that's what their training taught them to say.
