Issue: Repossession — Loan balance remaining after the vehicle is repossessed and sold
Company: North State Acceptance, LLC
State: SC

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally dispute and request the removal of a repossession entry that appears on my credit report. 

The account in question is : Creditor Name : NORTH STATE ACCEPTANCE Account Number : Account Number : XXXX XXXXXXXX According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), negative items such as repossessions must be removed from consumer credit reports seven years after the original delinquency date. As of the date of this letter, more than seven years have passed since the account became delinquent and led to repossession. 

I respectfully request that this outdated information be permanently deleted from my credit report, as it no longer meets the reporting criteria established by federal law. 

Please investigate this matter and provide a written response confirming the deletion or the outcome of your investigation. 

Also, I am writing to formally request documentation and an accounting related to the repossession and subsequent sale of my vehicle, which occurred over seven years ago.

Details of the account : Account Holder Name : XXXX XXXX XXXX Account Number : As shown on credit report or records After the repossession, the vehicle was sold at auction. To date, I have not received a breakdown of the sale, nor any surplus funds if applicable. As required by law, I should have been provided with : Pre-sale notice of the auction Post-sale accounting Any surplus proceeds from the sale If this information was not provided or the process was mishandled, the deficiency balance may be invalid. Additionally, this may have affected the accuracy and fairness of the negative information reported to the credit bureaus. 


If you are unable to provide this information, I respectfully request that you remove any negative reporting related to this account and provide written confirmation of such. 

Sincerely, Thank you for your attention to this matter. 

Sincerely,

I want to stress that I did not give written permission for these specific transactions to be included in my consumer report. At no point did I authorize these entries, and their presence on my report is unwarranted. Consequently, I am formally requesting that these accounts be blocked and removed from my report immediately. It is important to clarify that this request is not due to any error or negligence on my part. There has been no oversight or misunderstanding on my end. Instead, this issue arises solely from the fact that I did not explicitly authorize the inclusion of these transactions in my report. I am diligent about maintaining the accuracy and privacy of my financial records, and these unauthorized entries compromise that integrity. I trust that you will handle this matter with the urgency and seriousness it deserves. Please confirm the removal of these transactions from my report as soon as possible.

State: IL

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 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.

Complaint narrative:
I filed formal disputes with the credit bureau concerning inaccurate and unverifiable accounts on my credit report.

Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA 611 ( a ) ), the bureau is required to conduct a reasonable reinvestigation within 30 days, consult with the original furnishers, and provide me with written verification or remove the information if it is unverifiable.

Instead, the bureau appears to rely on automated systems ( such as eOSCAR ) without requesting or reviewing original source documents, in violation of its duty to maintain maximum possible accuracy under FCRA 607 ( b ) / 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ). 
In XX/XX/year>, the CFPB sued Experian for failing to properly investigate consumer disputes and continuing to report inaccurate data. 
I requested detailed information about their reinvestigation process and copies of any verification or certification they obtained from the furnishers. They failed to provide this documentation and have continued reporting the disputed items without proof.

TransUnion arbitrarily lowered my score XXXX points during dispute. Now I cant get credit. They said the only way to make my score go back up was to stop the dispute. I need credit now, but TransUnion is abusing this policy to send out the wrong credit score to everyone with whom I apply for credit. They seem to be trying to get me to end my legitimate disputes. This is illegal and unethical. When I calk then on the phone they do not tell me my score, only that " the lower score is incorrect '' This means they know they are deliberately reporting the wrong number to creditors. Please help CFPB. The inquiries are making my credit worse and TransUnion knows they have me held hostage. They are the only reporting agency that does this. Please help I need them to stop reporting my incorrect score NOW!
