Company: CREDIT ACCEPTANCE CORPORATION
State: MO

Complaint narrative:
I took out a vehicle loan under my name for a family member who agreed to make the monthly payments. Unfortunately, they failed to make the payments as promised. 

After several missed payments, I informed the lender and voluntarily returned the vehicle to avoid further damage to my credit. The vehicle was repossessed and later sold by the lender. 

However, I recently discovered that the repossession is still listed on my credit report, and I am being held responsible for the remaining balance after the sale the deficiency balance. 

Im requesting a full investigation into this account, including documentation of the vehicles sale, breakdown of fees applied, and how the balance was calculated. 

I am also requesting, as a courtesy and act of goodwill, that the lender remove or update this negative information from my credit report, as I acted in good faith and tried to prevent further damage. 

I am working hard to rebuild my credit and would appreciate the lenders support in updating the reporting or considering deletion of the repossession.

Complaint narrative:
XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX, NJ XXXX Date : XX/XX/XXXX To Whom It May Concern, This letter serves as a formal dispute under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) for the immediate removal of the inaccurate and unverifiable accounts listed below. I have previously disputed these accounts, and they were allegedly verified without Experian ( or the applicable bureau ) providing any documentary evidence or validation.

Verification based solely on the furnishers internal confirmation, without furnishing original signed contracts or billing records, does not constitute proper verification under federal law.

Disputed Accounts : 1. XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX Status : Open, {$1300.00} past due as of XX/XX/XXXX Issue : This account continues to report past-due status and monthly activity, but no contract or proof of original authorization has ever been provided. 
Violation : Verified as accurate with no documentation furnished to the consumer.

2. XXXXXXXX XXXX Status : Paid, Closed ( as of XX/XX/XXXX ) Issue : This secured loan account was previously disputed and remains listed with derogatory status, despite no documentation showing ownership or contract terms. 

Applicable Legal Violations : FCRA 1681e ( b ) : Requires credit reporting agencies to ensure maximum possible accuracy. Continuing to report unverifiable data violates this standard.

FCRA 1681i ( a ) : If information can not be verified through reasonable investigation and supporting documentation, it must be deleted.

FCRA 1681s-2 ( b ) : Data furnishers are required to investigate disputes and correct or delete any inaccurate or unverifiable information.

Hinkle v. Midland, 827 F.3d 1295 ( 11th Cir. 2016 ) : Legal precedent confirms that verification must include documentary evidencenot merely a response from the furnisher.
