Complaint narrative:
Credit acceptance did a hard pull on my credit and I didn't apply for anything with credit acceptance. I did not give information to run my credit. They are trying to also apply a balance to an account that's been closed for over 7 years. 

I just had a lawsuit against credit acceptance and won. Can be lawsuit they said if you had an outstanding balance they would apply 75 % of the winning to the remaining balance, however my account has been closed for over 7 years. Then I receive a notification today that I had a hard pull done on my credit from credit acceptance. 

Nowhere in the legal statement I signed did it give them permission to draw my credit report whatsoever. I also know that it is illegal for them to try to reopen an old account as new debt. I need help with this situation. This is a very urgent matter.

Complaint narrative:
I am filing a formal dispute regarding multiple violations of my consumer rights under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ) and the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). I demand immediate correction and removal of the following inaccurate and unverified information from my credit report : 1. Invalid and Unverified Debt ( FDCPA Violations ) Under 15 U.S. Code 1692g, I am disputing the listed accounts as they have not been properly validated under the FDCPA. Your failure to provide legal validation means you can not report or collect on these accounts, and they must be removed immediately. 

2. Incorrect Late Payment Remarks ( FCRA Violations ) Under 15 U.S. Code 1681s-2 ( a ) ( 1 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1666b, I am disputing inaccurate late payment remarks on the following accounts. These accounts were paid on time, and the false reporting of late payments is a violation of FCRA and TILA. I demand that these remarks be removed immediately to ensure the accuracy of my credit file. 


Additionally, I have already filed a formal complaint with the Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ) under Reference Number : XXXX regarding these violations. If this matter is not resolved promptly, I will escalate my complaint to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) and consider further legal action to protect my rights. 

I expect a written response and correction within the legally required timeframe. Failure to comply may result in additional legal consequences.

Complaint narrative:
" The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( 1 ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence, which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system. 

So whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not. In the event that any accounts are reported without my written consent, that is considered identity theft. 

This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This leads way 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 each account listed without my expressed written consent. 

I looked at my consumer reports and noticed accounts I never gave anyone permission to report. Consumer reporting agencies have assumed a vital role and have a responsibility to report consumer information to the best of their ability with maximum possible accuracy like the Fair Credit Reporting Act clearly states. I did not provide written consent to report them. ''
