Complaint narrative:
Good evening, I XXXX XXXX contacted GM Financial requesting a settlement agreement for a charge-off debt on my credit report on or around mid XXXX, 2024. I originally spoke with the debt recovery debt. I specifically asked once GM received the agreed upon settlement would my credit report be updated as account settled and payment with {$0.00} balance. The representative indicated once the funds were received the credit bureaus would be updated with the account closed/account settled. I asked for the information of the settlement to be emailed directly in order for me to request for process of the final settlement funds. However the information was mailed rather than emailed as I had requested. I informed the representative that I would not be able to submit funds by the date requested if the information was sent by mail. I ultimately had to contact a supervisor to have the information revised and re-submitted via email. However, once I got the email, the information in the email was still incorrect ( the date was wrong ). I contacted GM Financial again, and notified that the date for settlement was incorrect. I was told the date would actually be amended and a new letter created and re-sent. We discussed the new date to be amended to XXXX XXXX because of the XX/XX/XXXX XXXX. However, when I received the new letter the settlement date was XX/XX/XXXX which was inaccurate again! I had already requested the funds for release and the funds were sent to GM Financial on XX/XX/year>. GM received these funds on XX/XX/XXXX most likely due to the XX/XX/XXXX XXXX interruption to mail process. I get an alert with GM Financial the balance of the settlement amount Charged Off & still owing {$3300.00} on the account. That was not the agreement. The account should indicate closed and settled. This activity caused my credit score to drop XXXX points! This is such egregious behavior. It is so incomprehensible the behavior of supposedly reputable corporations.

Upon reviewing my credit report, I discovered several accounts that I do not recognize and believe to be fraudulent.

The presence of these unauthorized accounts on my credit report has caused me significant distress and uncertainty about the security of my personal information. I have attached a copy of my credit report highlighting the unrecognized accounts for your reference.
