Company: Bridgecrest Acceptance Corporation

Complaint narrative:
Subject : Unauthorized Credit Reporting and Demand for Resolution Reference to Federal and Missouri  Laws Dear BRIDGECREST, I am writing to address the blatant violation regarding the unauthorized reporting of information to my credit report, as outlined by the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) under Sections 1681b ( a ) ( 2 ), 1681c ( a ) ( 2 ), and 1681s-2 ( a ), as well as Missouri state law concerning identity theft and consumer protection. 

It has come to my attention that BRIDGECREST has engaged in unauthorized reporting to my credit report without obtaining my explicit consent. Federal law, as stated in the FCRA, mandates that consumer consent is required for such reporting activities under Section 1681b ( a ) ( 2 ).

Additionally, under Missouri law, specifically 570.223 of the Missouri Revised Statutes, identity theft is strictly prohibited, including the unauthorized use or misuse of an individuals personal identifying information. The unauthorized access and reporting of my credit information without consent could be considered a violation of this statute, alongside the federal FCRA provisions. 

I assert with certainty that I have not provided consent for BRIDGECREST to report any information to my credit report. This lack of explicit permission constitutes a violation of my rights, resulting in potential damage to my creditworthiness and a disregard for both federal and state laws. 

I demand that BRIDGECREST immediately ceases any further reporting of information to my credit report without my explicit consent, as mandated by Section 1681b ( a ) ( 2 ) of the FCRA and relevant Missouri statutes, including 570.223 regarding identity theft. Failure to comply within the stipulated 30-day timeframe will be viewed as willful noncompliance, subject to penalties under applicable federal and state laws, including identity theft statutes. 

This is a formal demand for compliance with both federal and Missouri state laws, protecting consumers like myself from unauthorized and damaging credit reporting. I expect your immediate attention to this matter and anticipate that BRIDGECREST will promptly rectify these violations, respecting my rights under the law. 

Done in good faith.

Complaint narrative:
I am treasurer of the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. I discovered several fraudulent charges on our bank account and contacted our bank on XX/XX/year>. I talked to a banking representative as soon as I knew the charges went through. I filed a dispute report with the bank on XX/XX/year>. The bank has refunded several fraudulent charges made to an insurance company but refuses to refund others which were described as mobile payments to XXXX XXXX and charged by an unknown individual on XX/XX/year>, XX/XX/year>, XX/XX/year> and XX/XX/year>. They did refund one processing fee made by the unknown person to XXXX XXXX made on XX/XX/year>. The bank is saying that these had to be identified within 24 hours, which sounds very ridiculous. The issue is further complicated by the fact that we had a management company handling our affairs whose founder and manager XXXX  sometime during the week of XX/XX/year>. I was not told of his demise until XX/XX/year>. The business has subsequently closed. I have talked with several banks in my area and they are puzzled and incredulous of this policy. I need some assistance to understand why they have this policy for a 24-hour notification of fraudulent charges which should never have been allowed by the bank.

I greatly value the relationship I have with the following creditors and have consistently made on-time payments forsuch a long time.This isolated incident does not reflect my overall commitment to honoring my financial obligations, and I have since taken steps to ensure this will not happen again. 

Given my otherwise positive payment history, I kindly request that you consider removing this late payment from my credit report as a goodwill gesture. I believe this adjustment would better reflect my responsible credit behavior and would help improve my credit standing.
