I filed a dispute for incorrect information on my credit report. I received an email from the credit bureau stating that they are assuming the disputes are coming from a 3rd party. They in fact did not come from a 3rd party. l even called them to verify it was me and they still refused to process my disputes. I wasted money on mailing my disputes out. I sent personal information to verify my identity through mail, just for them to not thoroughly investigate.

I have {$10000.00} in the account that now Citi gets to keep ( I am sure without interest ) until they complete an investigation that I don't know what it is about.

Company: Open Dealer Exchange, LLC
State: AZ

Complaint narrative:
To whom it may concern, I did not authorize a credit check. The credit check came back as an XXXX inquiry, which is the same exact inquiry that XXXX XXXX XXXX pulled. The only difference is that XXXX was authorized to run my credit. The pretext of checking XXXX was used to run a credit check that I did not authorize, and I explicitly communicated this. This makes no sense, as this is not my first time buying a car, and I have never been asked to run a second credit check once I bring a loan approval from my bank. If an XXXX check is needed, then a legal document needs to be produced separately with guidelines and clarity on why the dealership needs to check my credit. There was no disclosure or legal document stating the reason for needing to run my credit. 

I believe you are in violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) for failing to properly disclose the reason for running my credit or providing a legal document that clearly states the reasons for running my credit for XXXX purposes. Additionally, the practice of crossing out the term credit application from a document and telling me youre not running my credit when you are indeed doing so is deceitful. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX
