Issue: Improper use of your report — Reporting company used your report improperly
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: NC

Complaint narrative:
I was utterly shocked and devastated upon discovering unauthorized accounts, credit inquiries and inaccurate personal information made or reported without my knowledge or consent. Despite my efforts to seek clarification from the creditors, they have shamefully failed to provide the necessary information. I demand immediate action and transparency from the creditors. The creditors must provide detailed information on each account and inquiry, including dates, purposes, and types of credit products involved, furnish relevant application documents, and present evidence of explicit authorization for each inquiry. 

Please see the attached file for what I am complaining about! I have attached a copy of my government issued ID as well as mail showing proof of address. So, there shouldnt be any confusion or stall tactics on your end. I have maintained a careful record of my communications with you for the purpose of filing a complaint with the FTC should you continue in your non-compliance.

Complaint narrative:
Finding unauthorized accounts, credit inquiries, and false personal information made or reported without my knowledge or agreement completely stunned and grieved me. I've tried to get clarification from the creditors, but they have blatantly refused to give it to me. I demand that the creditors act immediately and be transparent. The creditors must submit pertinent application materials, show proof of express authority for each query, and give comprehensive details about each account and inquiry, including dates, purposes, and the kinds of credit products involved. To see what I'm complaining about, please refer to the attached file!

Product: Vehicle loan or lease — Loan
Issue: Managing the loan or lease — Problem with the interest rate
Company: Exeter Finance, LLC.
State: MD

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX, I financed a XXXX XXXX XXXX through XXXX XXXX XXXX in Georgia. The loan was arranged by the dealership and financed through Exeter Finance. 

After reviewing the terms in the physical copy of the retail installment contract I received, I noticed several major issues : XXXX. The Annual Percentage Rate ( APR ) is 28.53 %, which is exceptionally high for a used vehicle. The total finance charge exceeds {$34000.00}, and the total cost of the vehicle after interest is over {$68000.00}, more than double the cash price of the vehicle. 
2. The contract includes GAP insurance ( Optional GAP Contract ) for {$1200.00}, which was not clearly presented to me as optional during signing. I was led to believe it was required to get approved.

3. There are {$2400.00} in additional charges under Other Charges and Amounts Paid to Others on Your Behalf without sufficient explanation or itemization. I was not made aware of these costs at the time of purchase.

4. The dealership rushed the signing process, provided very little explanation of the terms, and did not disclose the full financial impact, including how much interest Id pay over time. 
XXXX. The vehicle price was listed at {$31000.00}, yet with financing, the total cost nearly doubled with excessive interest raising concerns of predatory lending and potential Truth in Lending Act violations. 

I believe the dealership and finance company used deceptive or unfair practices during the loan process, and I am requesting a full investigation and a review of the loan structure. I would like to understand my rights for potentially rescinding this agreement or renegotiating under fairer terms.

Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt is not yours
Company: ProCollect, Inc.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I am filing a formal complaint against ProCollect , Inc. concerning a collection account being reported to the credit bureaus for an alleged debt originating from XXXX XXXX The amount in question is {$4600.00}, with the account listed as reported beginning in XX/XX/year>. 

I dispute the validity of this debt and believe it is being inaccurately reported. I have made multiple requests directly to ProCollect , Inc. asking for documentation to validate the debt under my rights afforded by the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ) and the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). 

Specifically, I have requested : A copy of the original signed lease or agreement with XXXX XXXX ; An itemized breakdown of the charges leading to the balance ; Legal documentation verifying ProCollects authority to collect on behalf of XXXX XXXX 

To date, ProCollect, Inc. has not provided any of the requested documentation, yet continues to report this account to all three major credit reporting agencies. This has had a negative and ongoing impact on my credit profile. 

I am respectfully requesting the CFPBs assistance in the following : Investigating ProCollects failure to validate the debt in accordance with federal law ; Requiring that ProCollect, Inc. either validate the debt or remove the account from XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ; Ensuring my consumer rights are protected and the integrity of my credit reporting is maintained.

Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account information incorrect
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
The glaring absence of concrete evidence to support its reliability, combined with the dissemination of unverified information, represents a clear violation of the statutory requirements outlined in 15 USC 1681i ( 7 ). This lack of compliance is not only troubling but also deeply frustrating, given the critical importance of adhering to legal obligations.

Therefore, I strongly advocate for the immediate removal of this account in accordance with the specified regulations, unless verifiable evidence is promptly provided to establish its authenticity. Any delay in addressing this issue exacerbates the frustration caused by the apparent disregard for regulatory protocols and the legal standards that ensure fairness and accuracy.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.

Complaint narrative:
I submitted a dispute to you regarding multiple inaccuracies on my credit report, including incorrect personal information ( name, addresses ) and multiple inaccurate account entries. Despite providing supporting documents, such as my driver 's license, proof of address, and social security card, you have failed to correct these errors. These inaccuracies impact my credit standing and violate the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), which requires credit bureaus to ensure maximum possible accuracy. Additionally, some of these accounts may involve debts that should have been reported differently under 1099-C tax laws. I formally requested verification and removal of these items, but you have not taken appropriate action.

Complaint narrative:
My account was closed due to claim abuse on XX/XX/scrub>XXXX XXXX I got a letter a month ahead that my account will be closed at Chase due to claim abuse, but they will let me keep my credit account. I messaged them all the claims that were not made by me and let them know everything ; they took the money out of my account on the claims that were not made by me. I never knew something like this exist where your account could be closed because of claim abuse, it's my first time having a bank account.

Maybe there was a time where I reported something too early or accidently, but the claims that were not made by me, I let Chase not about it. I just wanted to be given a second chance to fix the mistakes that I did.

Complaint narrative:
I deposited 3 checks on XX/XX/year>, one of them was under mine and 2 were under a friend, I tried to help her because she was going into knee XXXX. I didn't know it wasn't allowed so that's my mistake, and I've paid for it since that day, my debit card was deactivated XX/XX/XXXX and I lost access to my banking app. Today is XX/XX/XXXX and I haven't received my funds. They broke their deadlines because they said the account would be closed within 60 days and funds will be sent with the closure. Yesterday they gave me a tracking number because they said the account was finally closed XX/XX/XXXX and I should be calling them to get a tracking of my check, which I checked multiple times as always and the tracking was wrong, when I checked through the XXXX app they suggested I missed the 1st digit and I added it and it gave a tracking that belonged to somebody else and it was used the past month, it didn't have names, just a history of their route, tracking numbers as I know need to be unique and why would they said the account was close this month and the tracking history is from the past month. There's no effective solutions to my issue, I don't think is hard. I understand process, investigations but I knew they would delay it until the last day and they did, now they're doing it again like if it was on purpose. I don't know what else to do. I wait and wait, but this seem endless from their bank doing, especially when it's a lot of money that I'm in need to use, it's more than XXXX dollars, it's not fair.
