Complaint narrative:
Accounts on my consumer report have been linked to identity theft, and I never provided written authorization, including a wet signature, for their inclusion. I recently communicated with your organization about this matter, and I am formally requesting the prompt blocking and removal of these accounts from my report. Their presence has caused significant emotional and financial distress, as they inaccurately represent my credit history and responsibilities. If this issue is not appropriately addressed, I am prepared to take legal action to protect my rights and seek resolution. These fraudulent items on my credit record have hindered my ability to achieve important financial goals, such as purchasing a home and meeting the needs of my family.

Complaint narrative:
I am continually being called on the telephone by this agency over an alleged debt. I am requesting validation of this debt. This account has been reporting inaccurately. I wanted to dispute this account because of this and it was affecting my credit report. I am having problems with this unfair treatment. I am sure that I settled this account before because it was not mine. This account was taken care of with the original creditor and promised me to update it out of my report. Therefore, this account is unverifiable. This is an error that you need to look into, so please do your investigation on this and remove or delete this account from my credit report.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: OH

Complaint narrative:
In reviewing my account I noticed that the information that is listed on my credit reports is extremely inaccurate in various fields. While I understand mistakes can happen unfortunately when it comes to financial data and credit reporting this is one industry where mistakes can cost the bearer extreme harm and distress. With account being closed and the furnisher is not responding to my dispute I request that the account is deleted due to all of the inaccurate information in the following fields : Account #, date last active, Payment History, Past Due, Payment Status Additionally there are several late payment indicators listed, which make no sense as to the best of my knowledge all payments have been submitted on time however seeing as I haven't been receiving my statements its nearly impossible for me to know the accuracy of the payments received. It merits mentioning again, although I understand mistakes can happen the fact remains this misreporting of information to my credit report has caused me serious harm and also constitutes a violation of federal law, specifically 15 USC 1666b ( a ). I have not received a statement to my address on file as is a requirement under the law. 

This dispute will serve as notice of the inaccurate information that is on my credit reports for this account as well as the opportunity for your company to correct them without any additional action/enforcement on my behalf. The account information on the account in question is listed below : XXXX XXXX : XXXX I have attached a copy of my ID and billing statement for verification purposes.

Product: Vehicle loan or lease — Loan
Issue: Struggling to pay your loan — Denied request to lower payments
Company: SANTANDER HOLDINGS USA, INC.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
In XX/XX/XXXX, I purchased a XXXX XXXX XXXX through XXXX and financed the vehicle with Santander Consumer USA. I made a {$500.00} down payment, and the original loan amount was {$20000.00}, with a high annual percentage rate ( APR ) of 21.84 %. My monthly payment is {$510.00}. 

Since the start of the loan, I have paid {$9900.00} toward the balance, but I still owe {$11000.00} as of XX/XX/XXXX. The current estimated value of the vehicle is {$6100.00}, leaving me in a significant negative equity position. 

When I contacted Santander Consumer USA to inquire about refinancing or modifying the loan to make the payments more manageable, I was told that refinancing was not an option through them. This has left me with no ability to adjust the terms of my loan despite the financial burden caused by the high interest rate and the gap between the loan balance and the vehicles value. 

I believe the loan terms were predatory, as the excessive interest rate and risk of negative equity were not adequately explained at the time of purchase. Additionally, I am concerned that neither XXXX nor Santander Consumer USA conducted a thorough assessment of my ability to repay the loan under such unfavorable terms.
