Company: AMERICAN HONDA FINANCE CORP
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
Description of What Happened : On XX/XX/XXXX, at approximately XXXXXXXX XXXX, my XXXX XXXX XXXX was wrongfully repossessed by a third-party agent while I was grocery shopping at XXXX XXXX XXXX This occurred despite my having an active payment agreement with Honda Financial Services and having submitted a formal buyback request approximately two weeks earlier. No final notice or warning was provided. 

Following the repossession, I retrieved my vehicle from XXXX XXXX and discovered visible damage. I was also required to pay a {$100.00} fee just to retrieve my personal belongings. These actions were taken without due process and while good-faith negotiations were ongoing. 

To make matters worse, Honda Financial Services inaccurately reported the account as charged off on my credit report, which is factually incorrect and damaging. At the time the derogatory information was reported, we were already in active litigation. My civil case regarding the wrongful repossession was officially filed on XX/XX/XXXX, well before this inaccurate credit reporting was made. 

This false reporting has significantly impacted my credit, harmed my ability to secure financing, and added to the financial and emotional toll of the wrongful repossession. 

I am demanding : A correction of the inaccurate credit reporting, including removal of the charge-off status. 

A refund of the {$100.00} personal property fee. 

A full investigation and written response regarding the wrongful repossession. 

Compensation for the damages and negative consequences this situation has caused. 


I took all reasonable steps to resolve this matter in good faith, including through the court system. Honda Financials actions reflect negligence, misrepresentation, and a failure to adhere to fair consumer reporting practices.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.

Complaint narrative:
I am demanding that you remove these fraudulent items immediately.

These accounts must not continue to be reported on my consumer file, as their presence is a clear violation of my rights. According to 15 U.S. Code 1681b, consumer reporting agencies may only disclose a consumer report under strictly limited conditions primarily, with the consumers written authorization.

I want to make it very clear : I have never provided written consent for any agency to furnish or report these accounts. Absent my written permission, the reporting of this information constitutes an additional violation of
my federally protected rights, and further acts of identity theft.

Accordingly, I am formally insisting that all such accounts be deleted immediately from my consumer report. Continued noncompliance will be regarded as willful negligence and may be pursued through legal and regulatory channels.

This matter requires your immediate attention.
