Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Improper use of your report — Reporting company used your report improperly
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: TX

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.

Company: BMW Financial Services NA, LLC
State: NJ

Complaint narrative:
My husband and I leased a BMW XXXX in XXXX, and I returned the car to BMW XXXX XXXX, NJ which is located at XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, NJ, XXXX on Friday, XX/XX/XXXX. On that day, I was told to park the car in the service area for the return process. After the authorized person checked the car, I was informed that all was good and asked to sign the necessary documentation. During the process, I asked if there was anything else I needed to do, and I was told no and ensured that everything was fine. 
A couple of weeks later, we got a bill about {$1900.00} from BMW My husband called the phone number on the bill. The person on the phone was trying to convince my husband that the inspection report was signed by me on Monday, XX/XX/XXXX. He also claimed we had to pay that bill no matter what who signed the report. Even though I repeated many times that I did not sign any report on that day, we were literally forced to admit that I signed it. Since I didnt recall being at any BMW dealerships that day, we requested that the report be emailed to us. In a short time, we received it, and we were shocked by looking at it. The report had my name and was signed on my behalf. Yet, there was a false signature on the report. Neither they had my permission, nor I had any knowledge about it. We were told during the phone call if we make this payment, they will ruin our credit score. A couple of weeks later, we received a collection and saw our credit score went down XXXX. We tried to fix it through the collection companies by sharing the fake report. However, we were advised not to fight with them. After our discussion with the collectors, we saw the case was closed with no balance but our credit score wasnt corrected, and it still stays there.
