On XX/XX/XXXX, I sent the credit reporting agencies a letter to investigate inaccurate information that they are reporting on my credit reports, but they ignored me.

That has caused me stress and XXXX  due to the fact that it taints my character as a consumer.

Issue: Managing the loan or lease — Problem with fees charged
Company: CREDIT ACCEPTANCE CORPORATION
State: NE

Complaint narrative:
During the COVID-19 pandemic, I attempted, multiple times, to request any possible assistance related to my payment. Each time I was denied any information or assistance whatsoever. Once I fell behind on my payment, the aggressive tactics began. Repeated calls from multiple different numbers, most of them from different states, and each one escalating in threats of repossession of the vehicle. During the entirety of me having the vehicle, I repeatedly offered to pay whatever I could afford, even if it wasnt the full amount. Each time I was denied in an angry manner. Once I was no longer willing to fight the company anymore, I voluntarily gave the vehicle back. They spent more than 2 weeks attempting to get me to keep it for more charges. I refused and continued to beg them to come get it. Then after they sold it at auction, they now want me to pay the difference. I have paid them back the amount that I borrowed originally. The rest is all due to extreme and unnecessary fees.

Issue: Improper use of your report — Credit inquiries on your report that you don't recognize
Company: SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL
State: OK

Complaint narrative:
To Whom It May Concern, I am writing to file a formal dispute regarding a hard inquiry listed on my credit report that I do not recognize and believe to be unauthorized. The inquiry in question was conducted on XX/XX/2023, by XXXX. However, I have no recollection or record of initiating such an inquiry, nor have I authorized anyone to do so on my behalf.

This unauthorized hard inquiry has adversely affected my credit score, and I am deeply concerned about the potential implications it may have on my financial well-being. As a responsible consumer, I diligently monitor my credit activity, and this discrepancy has raised significant alarm.

I kindly request that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau investigate this matter promptly and take necessary actions to rectify the situation. Specifically, I ask that the unauthorized hard inquiry by XXXX be removed from my credit report as soon as possible to alleviate the negative impact it has had on my credit score.

I understand the importance of maintaining accurate credit information, and I assure you that I have not engaged in any activity that would warrant such an inquiry. Therefore, I implore the bureau to assist me in resolving this issue expediently. 

Should you require any further information or clarification, please do not hesitate to contact me at the provided contact information. 

Thank you for your attention to this matter, and I eagerly await your prompt resolution. 

Sincerely,
