Product: Vehicle loan or lease — Loan
Issue: Problems at the end of the loan or lease — Unable to receive car title or other problem after the loan is paid off
Company: HYUNDAI CAPITAL AMERICA
State: VA

Complaint narrative:
I paid off my auto loan on XX/XX/year>, and still have not received the title to my car. I have tried contacting Hyundai Finance multiple times, but the number goes to a foreign call center and nobody can help me. I have also been calling my state 's DMV. The problem seems to be that Hyundai never submitted the title to my current state 's DMV when I moved two years ago, even though I submitted a request at the time. Now I can not get my title because nobody at Hyundai will do their job or even allow me to speak to anyone in the United States.

Complaint narrative:
According to a certified mail receipt, the credit bureaus received my dispute regarding all accounts relating to XXXX  XXXX on XXXX XXXX, 2024. I sent an affidavit to XXXX XXXX explaining the inaccuracies listed on my credit report as well as duplicate accounts. These concerns raised questions around the reliability and validity of the information reported by this company, so I requested validation of all debts associated with XXXX  XXXX. These debts included : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  ( duplicate account ) On XXXX XXXX, 2024, I noticed XXXX XXXX XXXX credit card accounts removed from my credit. On XXXX XXXX, 2024, I received an email directly from the company stating they received my dispute regarding the XXXX  loan. No mention of the XXXX  XXXX credit cards listed in the dispute. My XXXX  dispute center does not show a dispute reported for the credit cards which were removed and my Equifax results returned stating disputed items not currently reporting on your file. '' However, they were REMOVED from my credit file. In addition to that, the XXXX XXXX XXXX collection was the duplicate I was referencing which is still on my account. Then a collection under the furnisher XXXX XXXX was then added to my account once these credit cards were removed. 

Under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ), particularly 15 U.S. Code 1681e ( b ), which states bureaus must assure maximum possible accuracy of the information in a report, I requested validation of these account due to inconsistency in account information amongst the reports. Which was not validated, resulting in the removal and further confirmation that the furnisher understood the FCRA violation. Also, under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) Section 623 ( 15 U.S. Code 1681s2 ) both the bureaus and the creditors have an obligation to report disputes accurately. That was not done in this case resulting in another violation of FCRA and showing the companies lack of due diligence in credit reporting.

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.

Please see attached file for these items I am complaining.. 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.

Company: CBC Companies, Inc.

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to file a formal complaint regarding my inability to opt out or freeze my consumer credit report with several supplemental credit reporting agencies. Despite my efforts to manage and protect my personal financial information, I have encountered significant obstacles with these agencies, which is causing me considerable concern and frustration.

Over the past few months, I have diligently attempted to contact several supplemental credit reporting agencies to exercise my right to opt out of having my consumer credit information shared or to place a freeze on my credit report. However, my attempts have been met with numerous challenges, including : 1. **Lack of Clear Contact Information** : Many of these agencies do not provide clear or accessible contact information on their websites, making it exceedingly difficult to reach them.

2. **Unresponsive Customer Service** : In instances where contact information was available, my phone calls and emails were either not answered or met with generic, unhelpful responses that did not address my specific requests.

3. **Complex and Opaque Processes** : For those agencies that did respond, the process to opt out or freeze my credit report was overly complex, lacking transparency, and not user-friendly. This has resulted in an undue burden on me as a consumer, seeking to protect my financial information.

4. **Non-Compliance with Requests** : In some cases, despite following the required procedures, my requests to opt out or freeze my credit report were not honored, leaving my personal information vulnerable.

As a consumer, I believe it is my right to have control over my personal financial information and to be able to take necessary actions to protect it. The inability to effectively opt out or freeze my credit report with these supplemental agencies not only undermines my privacy and security but also contravenes the principles of transparency and consumer protection.

I urge the CFPB to investigate this matter and take appropriate action to ensure that all credit reporting agencies, including supplemental ones, provide clear, accessible, and effective mechanisms for consumers to opt out and freeze their credit reports. This will help to uphold consumer rights and protect individuals from potential financial harm.

Thank you for your attention to this important issue. I look forward to your prompt response and action to address these concerns.
