Complaint narrative:
I HAVE AN AUTO LOAN WITH EXETER FINANCE. THIS COMPANY 'S WEBSITE HAS BEEN UNUSABLE TO MAKE PAYMENTS FOR A FEW MONTHS NOW AND THEY ARE DOING ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO FIX IT. WE HAVE NO WAY TO MAKE A PAYMENT ONLINE AND THEY TELL THEIR CUSTOMERS TO JUST MAKE A PAYMENT OVER THE PHONE, THIS IS VERY INCONVENIENT FOR ME AND FOR MANY OTHER PEOPLE. I MAKE PAYMENTS AT DIFFERENT TIMES AND DIFFERENT HOURS OF THE DAY ALL THROUGH THE MONTH & I'M NOT GOING TO CALL THEM EVERY TIME NOR WILL THEY BE AVAILABLE EVERY TIME I AM. I'VE HAD SEVERAL DIFFERENT PROBLEMS WITH THIS COMPANY AND THIS JUST COMPOUNDS ALL THE OTHER ISSUES I'VE HAD WITH THEM. I WANT & NEED TO GIVE THEM MY MONEY TO MAKE PAYMENTS ON MY VEHICLE, AS IRREGULARLY AS IT IS, BUT THEY ARE MAKING IT AS DIFFICULT AS POSSIBLE TO DO SO!

Company: Resurgent Capital Services L.P.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to address the ongoing issue concerning inaccurate information within my credit file, specifically related to accounts associated with your company. This matter is of great concern to me, and despite my previous attempts to rectify it, the situation has not been resolved satisfactorily. I have sent a total of six previous letters to your company, all via certified mail. Please find the attached receipts for the certified mail with the following tracking numbers : XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX. These receipts confirm the delivery of my requests for the removal of inaccurate information from my credit file. I would like to draw your attention to 15 U.S. Code 1681c2, which states that it is a crime to threaten a lawsuit with no intention of pursuing it. Rest assured, my intention is sincere, and I am prepared to take legal action if necessary. Despite my previous efforts, your company has failed to conduct a proper investigation into the inaccuracies on my credit report, as required by the Fair Credit Reporting Act. My previous letters clearly outlined the reasons for my dispute, and these concerns are far from frivolous. This final request serves as a last opportunity for your company to rectify this matter. I expect a thorough investigation into the accounts in question, and I request that you provide me with documented proof of this investigation. Failure to comply will leave me with no choice but to file a civil suit in my county for damages. I take the accuracy of my credit report seriously, and the lack of professionalism and assistance from your company has been deeply disappointing. I am well aware of my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, and I am prepared to pursue them to the fullest extent of the law. I anticipate your prompt response and the resolution of this matter. If I do not receive a satisfactory reply within 30 days, I will have no choice but to pursue legal action.
