Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Improper use of your report — Credit inquiries on your report that you don't recognize
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: WI

Complaint narrative:
On XXXX XXXX 2017, I went to XXXX of XXXX ( XXXX XXXX ) to get a loan for a used car. I talked to a salesman because I already knew the car I wanted ( I went the day before that and already saw the car ). When I test drove the car and decided on the price and the monthly payment before he pulled my credit I clearly told him that I 've read that sometimes when you shop for a car the dealership pulls your credit and it can create multiple hard inquiries on your credit report and these could be in the report for up to 2 years. He assured me that they do n't have such practices. He went and came back with my credit score which was XXXX. It went well afterwards because they were able to stay within my range of payment. I went to see the financial guy and asked the same questions about the possibility of hard inquiries and he told me and assure me that they do not operate like that. I did believe them and after 2 hours of transaction and a interest rate of 6 % I drove with my new possession. On Tuesday, I received an alert on my XXXX XXXX stating that I had something in my credit report that needed my immediate attention. It turned out that the dealer made XXXX hard inquiries on my credit. Of course I tried to call them after that and after so many unsuccessful attempts to reach somebody who could explain this situation, I finally decided to go and talk to the manager. He did not care much about me or what I had to say to him. He barely paid attention to what I was trying to explain and my confusion. he vaguely told me that he would try to " find out what happened '' and he was done! Since I was outside in the dealership parking lot he decided to come back to me and explain that he just saw the report and that they did all those inquiries because XXXX of the bank did not want to finance. My question is : how about the other XXXX. The dealer and the financial guy were nowhere to be found. That is how I talked to CFPB to see what were my options. I would like to confront them and have only hit on my credit. I just made a home purchase and had XXXX hard inquiries. XXXX is abnormal to me and what is frustrating is the lies and the disrespectful way of dealing with consumers. I work hard for my credit and believe that I was treated poorly. They made all those hard inquiries in 1 day so I it should be counted as XXXX hard hit and not XXXX. Thanks for your time

Company: Global Resolution Group, LLC
State: LA

Complaint narrative:
My husband owes a credit card debt for {$450.00}. The account was opened with his permission by me, his wife. The balance is in collections, and the collection agency is threatening to file charges for fraud since my husband is incarcerated. I offered to send them written authorization from my husband, but they declined. This card was opened to purchase belongings for my husband since he wws coming home soon. I set up payment arrangements because of the threat. I made one payment, but was unable to pay more because my income is not enough to pay them among my other household bills. I should n't have to live on fear of this company because of this. I offered to send them permission from my husband, but they declined so they denied my right to prove it.

Company: Navient Solutions, LLC.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I have been trying to get a unemployment deferment as I graduated XX/XX/XXXX from the University XXXX XXXX XXXX. As my understanding goes that means as of XX/XX/XXXX I should be eligible for up to 6 months of unemployment deferment. I have been trying to obtain and fill out the paperwork to get the last 3 months of this unemployment deferment for the last month ( It is currently XX/XX/XXXX ). Phone calling Navient takes a minimum of 10 minutes to even reach a person. Then after wasting your time they often do n't help you at all. All I needed was a simple 2 page form for unemployment deferment which I am entitled to. They said that they would send it out at " midnight '' because their " system '' sends out all their emails and attachments in one big batch. Sounds like a scam. I think that Navient purposely makes this process unbearably long and takes unreasonably long amounts of time to even do something such as email you the form when the form should be available instantly on the website. Needless to say I did not receive the form. I eventually was able to get a hold of it by searching around and finding a general email address for complaints, then I was contacted 10 days after this email by someone with the form. I think they do this so that you are forced to make payments instead of defer it. I also think that they make it very hard to find an email address to use because they do n't want people having evidence in writing of such unacceptable practices. I had to make one payment already because they were taking so long to send the form, now that they sent it after 10 days they want another 10 days to " process '' the form. Each payment is for XXXX . I no doubt will have to pay another XXXX $ because their processing time is so long. My impression is that this is a system designed to lag in every aspect in order to accrue as much revenue as possible at the expense of me.
