Product: Vehicle loan or lease — Loan
Issue: Getting a loan or lease — Problem with signing the paperwork
Company: SANTANDER HOLDINGS USA, INC.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I am submitting this follow-up because Santander Consumer USA did not resolve my issue.

Santander responded to my complaint without actually addressing the core problem : the dealership submitted falsified information to obtain my loan approval, specifically reporting that my rent was {$400.00} when it is actually {$1800.00}. That information is completely false and I did not authorize or provide that number. 

Here is what Santander failed to do : 1. They refused to provide a dedicated human representative to handle my case, even though this is a situation involving potential fraud and misrepresentation.

2. They did not investigate the dealerships actions. Their letter simply restated the contract terms and claimed the account was valid without examining how the dealership secured approval.

3. They did not provide any proof that the income or housing information was accurately verified, nor did they explain how that incorrect information ended up on the credit application.

4. They did not address my claim that the dealer blocked me after I confronted them about falsifying the documentation.

5. They stated the contract is binding but refused to acknowledge that misrepresentation was involved, which would invalidate the contract under consumer protection laws.

6. They also refused to halt credit reporting during an active dispute, which is unreasonable and harmful.

Complaint narrative:
This CFPB complaint has been filed to request pursuant to FCRA 605B ( 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2 ) that you -- credit reporting agency, block information appearing on my consumer credit report that is the result of identity theft and fraud within 4 business days of you receiving this complaint. I am concerned about the validity and accuracy of your recent investigation of these accounts that are reporting on my credit report. Last month I requested an investigation because I felt the item was not being reported legally. Couple of days ago I received a letter stating that youhave ceased investigation of my credit reports because, in your opinion, you believe that I have used a third party credit repair agency. Not only do I believe this to be a stall tactic on your part to grant you an additional 30 days to comply with my original request, but I believe it to be a blatant violation of the FCRA. 

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.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: MI

Complaint narrative:
I previously disputed several accounts with the credit bureau. The bureau marked the accounts as verified, but did not provide the legally required Method of Verification ( MOV ) under FCRA 611 ( a ) ( 6 ) ( B ) ( iii ).

This is a new issue distinct from my previous complaints.

This complaint does NOT challenge the accuracy of the accounts, but instead challenges the investigation procedure the bureau used.

I am requesting : 1. The name of the person who verified the disputed accounts 2. The method used to verify 3. Whether automated systems such as e-Oscar were used 4. Copies of all documentation used during verification This information was not provided, and the bureau has not complied with 611.

This is a procedural violation, not a duplicate dispute of the accounts.

I am requesting CFPB assistance to obtain the required MOV documentation or to have the accounts removed if the bureau can not provide proper verification.

Complaint narrative:
The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( 1 ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system. So whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of TILA US Code 1666B since I was never late. " I recently reviewed my consumer report and noticed an incorrect late payment record. I have always maintained timely payments on this account. Under the Fair Credit Billing Act ( FCBA ) and the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ), creditors are required to accurately report consumer transactions and provide a mechanism for correcting errors in a timely manner. Please conduct an investigation into this matter, and if you can not provide documentary evidence of these supposed late payments, I demand these payments to be updated to on time as they should be as I was NEVER late. I expect these updates to be made promptly, in compliance with the law.

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally dispute a late payment entry that has appeared on my credit report. The report indicates a late payment in my credit report, which I strongly believe is erroneous and not verified. Throughout my financial history with the financial agencies I am doing business with, I have consistently met all payment deadlines without fail. Therefore, the presence of this late payment is undoubtedly a result of a billing error on the part of the creditor. I request a thorough investigation into this matter to verify the accuracy of the reported late payment and urge for its prompt correction. It is imperative that such inaccuracies are rectified swiftly, as they impact my financial standing and credibility. I have contacted the financial agencies in the last more than 30 days to seek clarification but I got no response because this is erroneously reported for they have provided NO PROOF that there was a REAL late payment. Your immediate attention to this matter is greatly appreciated.

Company: BARCLAYS BANK DELAWARE
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
A collection account is being reported on my credit file that has not been properly validated. I exercised my rights under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ) by requesting validation of the alleged debt. The furnisher failed to provide any legitimate documentation proving that the debt is mine, that the amount is accurate, or that they have the legal authority to collect it. 
Despite the lack of verification, this account continues to appear on my credit report, which constitutes a violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) requiring only accurate and verifiable information to be reported. The continued reporting of an unvalidated account is inaccurate and misleading.

Complaint narrative:
I was given the chance to have a interest fee waived if i paid a certain amount off and i did. i got another bill of XXXX and told it wasnt part of the promotion to pay off, i wasnt told that and they were unhelpful and just kept telling me if i dont pay i will be charged interest again. I told them i couldnt afford it because i was unaware of it and they said i was told that and i wasnt. I was misled to believe that my account was paid in full. Very helpful and just kept sending the same statement over and over if its not paid you will get charged and i said i cant pay in full and they said then you will be charged. Horrible customer service and was led on to believe my account was paid in full.

Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system.

So whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not. In the event that any accounts are reported without my written consent, that is considered identity theft.

This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This leads way to civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n, which allows for {$1000.00} per violation, for account listed without my expressed written consent.
