Company: Exeter Finance, LLC.
State: NC

Complaint narrative:
In XXXX of XXXX I contacted Exeter Finance and let them know I would be XXXX in XX/XX/XXXX to request SCRA XXXX XXXX. The representative let me know to send in my XXXX active XXXX paperwork and the request would be processed. She told me to reach back out in 10 days to ensure the request was processed. I asked her to explain the benefits and she let me know the following : 1. Late payments would be reported to the credit bureau if I become late 2. Even if I become more than 90 days late, my vehicle would not be repossessed as part of the SCRA benefit. 3. I was eligible for four deferements as a result of the SCRA benefit. 4. My interest rate would be updated to 6 % and any future payment made would be applied based on the updated interest rate. 5. I would be eligible for the SCRA benefit for 24 months from the application of the benefit to my account. That would be XXXX XXXX to XXXX XXXX. I reached back out to Exeter finance on XX/XX/XXXX and spoke with a representative. She stated that my orders had been received and my request would be processed and I would receive a written notice as well as an email from the SCRA team when the request was completed. The email would be sent to the email address on my account and I confirmed the address. On XX/XX/XXXX, I would injured in duty and was put in a military treatment facility. I was initially released on XX/XX/XXXX. I contacted Exeter Finance on XX/XX/XXXX to inquire because my credit report was saying that I was not 60 days behind on my payment. The representative I spoke with states she did not see any notation that I let anyone know I was XXXX and/or requested SCRA coverages XXXX She also let me know that my vehicle had been picked up and towed and was ready to be auctioned. She stated unless I paid the full remaining balance, there was nothing I could do at that point to stop the sale of the vehicle and that I would be responsible for the remaining balance. I called and spoke with several supervisors at Exeter finance from XX/XX/XXXX to XX/XX/XXXX to plead my case for SCRA benefits, but was denied because my vehicle had already been repossessed. On XX/XX/XXXX, I was reinjured and in a military treatment center until XX/XX/XXXX when I was released from active XXXX duty. I have since contacted Exeter to resolve this matter by phone with no resolution as well as disputing this account my credit report. All of these actions are in direct violation of the SCRA benefits available to me. There was no court order that allowed Exeter to repossess and sell my vehicle. 

I have sent several messages. XX/XX/XXXX XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX with no response. I have called in XXXX, and XX/XX/XXXX and have been unable to receive a response.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: VA

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.
