The automobile referenced by this loan is a XXXX XXXX XXXX purchased by XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX, Georgia XXXX.

Purchaser was later presented a dealer opportunity trade on a current model vehicle with the trade-in offer exceeding the purchase price from XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX.

On information and belief, the Georgia Attorney General opened an investigation on the dealership, but should open one on XXXX XXXX. Experian is also reporting incorrect public information in re : XXXX and XXXX XXXX ( XXXX XXXX   University ). I graduated from XXXX XXXX University XX/XX/XXXX. On/about XX/XX/XXXX, I took a new XXXX position in which my graduate school credentials and transcripts were requested. I made notice to XXXX XXXX  University to find my account had been frozen. I called XXXX XXXX   University to determine the issue and was at that time, nearly 4 years after graduating, was notified by XXXX XXXX   University that there was an outstanding bill due. I inquired as to the basis of the bill and the account manager advised she would have to call me back after researching. After a number of calls back and forth, the University admitted the alleged debt was based upon a class withdrawal. I was able to provide all timely withdrawal forms, but was told they were irrelevant because the University went off the date they withdrawal was processed. I asked why I had not been contacted in the nearly 4 years prior and was told they could not explain that. I advised the University I was not going to be extorted and would file a complaint, however, due to the necessity to have the document for my HR department, I paid the amount. After I paid XXXX XXXX University the amount they stated was due, they still refused to clear my account and issue my transcripts. Again, I called the University and spoke to an account manager who advised me that I would have to call XXXX and XXXX to pay their fee. Again, the University extorted funds from me by holding my transcripts hostage. As a direct result, the negative public information was posted on my credit report.
