Company: Westlake Services, LLC
State: AZ

Complaint narrative:
I purchased a vehicle from XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XX/XX/year>. Worst sales practice that didnt provide any help in the time of need. I had the vehicle for almost XXXX weeks then it stopped working. I dont know what was wrong with it I called the warranty company ; XXXX XXXX the advised me to take it into a mechanic shop. I did so. The mechanic stated the engine was no good and it was undriveable due to loss compression in cylinder XXXX. I called the warranty company they wanted a to have the engine taken out and for me to take it to an actual dealership for full diagnostic. Knowing the mechanic was legit, he did a video review of the whole engine. That still wasnt good enough. I take it to the actual dealership as they recommended and they stated they needed to take the engine out and I will be responsible for the cost of XXXX, this was unacceptable to me. For XXXX I didnt even get to have the vehicle for long. For XXXX, I just literally put all the money I had down for the vehicle. I didnt get to have my vehicle for months, I just was able to get a new engine ON MY OWN XX/XX/year>. All I got was the run around. I felt like the warranty company didnt even care and kept trying to go around the push. They stated because of carbon explosion on the component they wouldnt fix the issue but as explained by both mechanics there was no way for carbon not to be on the component due to the explosion. I am so very upset that I had to pay an additional XXXX for a new engine on a vehicle I didnt even get to drive more XXXX weeks. I will be filing suit against both companies, XXXX XXXX XXXX sales and XXXX  XXXX whom I have the warranty with. This was unprofessional the way I was given the run around. I could have gotten a whole new vehicle for XXXX

Complaint narrative:
I am updating a late payment that is currently being reported on my credit report as " open '' or unresolved. This entry is inaccurate and misleading. I have either already resolved the payment, or I was never late as claimed. The continued reporting of this item as open and delinquent is a violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), particularly 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ), which requires consumer reporting agencies to maintain maximum possible accuracy of the information they report. This misreporting has negatively impacted my credit score and may hinder my ability to obtain credit or employment. I am requesting an immediate investigation into this matter, as well as a correction or deletion of the inaccurate late payment record if it can not be verified.

You have reported inaccurate and unauthorized accounts on my credit report, which is a violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681i ) requiring a proper reinvestigation of disputed items, and 1681e ( b ), which mandates maximum possible accuracy. These false entries are damaging and unjust, especially since Ive never opened or authorized these accounts. If you fail to investigate and correct this, I may pursue legal action under the FCRA and FDCPA ( 15 U.S. Code 1692e ) for deceptive and misleading reporting.

Issue: Repossession — Lender trying to repossess or disable the vehicle
Company: ALLY FINANCIAL INC.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
Summary of the Complaint : I am filing a formal complaint against Ally Financial for unlawfully repossessing my vehicle after it had already been written off following a breach of peace incident that occurred during a previous repossession attempt in XXXX. 

Background : In XXXX, Ally Financial repossessed my vehicle in a manner that constituted a breach of peace, in violation of XXXX  law. I have video evidence of this incident that clearly documents the illegal and aggressive nature of the repossession. Following this, the account associated with the vehicle was charged off by Ally Financial, as reflected in my credit reports from XXXX  to the XXXX, all of which show the account as a closed charge-off. 

Despite this, Ally Financial recently repossessed the same vehicle again without any prior notice, new default documentation, or right to cure notice, which are typically required under XXXX  law and federal standards of fair servicing. 



Key Issues : 1. Unlawful Repossession After Charge-Off : My credit reports from XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX show the account was XXXX XXXX XXXX in XXXX  and had not been reactivated or reinstated. 
Ally Financial did not send any written notice, reinstatement documents, or default notices to suggest that the loan had been reinstated or that repossession was being pursued again lawfully. 
2. Breach of Peace XXXX  XXXX Violated : The original repossession was conducted in violation of XXXX  XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, which states : A secured party may take possession of the collateral without breach of the peace. 
The XXXX  incident, which I recorded, involved aggressive behavior and tactics that disturbed the peace and safety of myself and my family. 
Once a breach of peace occurs, XXXX  courts ( see XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ) have held that the creditor loses the self-help remedy and must pursue a judicial repossession.

3. Lack of Transparency or Communication : Ally Financial has not provided any legal basis for this second repossession. 
I was not given an opportunity to cure any default, nor was I provided with post-repossession documentation outlining my rights, redemption amounts, or sale information. 
This violates standard protections under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ) and Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ), if they apply.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
This letter serves as my formal notice of dispute concerning certain account listed on my credit report that I believe was accessed or reported without a permissible purpose as required under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), 15 U.S. Code 1681b. Under the FCRA, a consumer reporting agency may furnish a consumer report only under specific, lawful purposes listed in 1681b ( a ). Any entity that accessed my credit file without my authorization or without a valid legal reason has done so in violation of this federal law.

Upon reviewing my credit reports, I found entries that I did not authorize, nor did I initiate any transaction that would justify such access. These unauthorized entries violate 1681b ( f ), which prohibits users from obtaining a consumer report without a permissible purpose. 

Legal Precedent : In the case of XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX. ), the court ruled in favor of the plaintiff, stating that a credit report pulled without a valid permissible purpose under FCRA constitutes a willful violation, which is actionable. 

Furthermore, multiple credit bureaus were defendants in recent lawsuits filed in XXXX for re-reporting or permitting access to consumer reports after the accounts were removed, which is also considered a willful disregard of consumer rights.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account information incorrect
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
Im contacting you regarding an account currently showing on my credit report that is completely inaccurate and not mine. After reviewing my report carefully, I noticed that this account has absolutely no connection to me, and I need it to be corrected immediately.

From what I can tell, this is a case of mixed or misreported information, and it is now affecting my credit profile in a way that is both unfair and unacceptable. Whether it was reported in error or linked to my file due to a data entry mistake, the bottom line is this : I have no affiliation with this account, I did not open it, and I have no responsibility for it.

This kind of reporting not only violates the standards of accuracy outlined under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), but its also actively harming my ability to maintain a healthy financial standing. Under Section 607 ( b ) of the FCRA, consumer reporting agencies are required to follow reasonable procedures to ensure maximum possible accuracy. That standard is clearly not being met here.
