State: OH

Complaint narrative:
So XXXX day I went to buckle and got a pair of jeans and they told me to sign up for program for store points so i signed up and proceeded to buy my jeans witch were {$100.00} paid with cash then about XXXX weeks later I get charges on the account that were not from me so I had them do an investigation and they said nothing was wrong even after they told me the items were bought in different store so I just gave up and paid it then another XXXX weeks later they say I owe even more money for interest fees so I paid that and got the account back to XXXX and ask them the close the account after that. But now Im stuck with late payments and bad report from something I never even used. I was wondering if the account can be deleted because this has brought my credit down a good XXXX points and is stoping me from even getting small credit card even tho all my other loan and payments are perfect. I thought it was illegal to add stuff to an account without Id so something like this doesnt happen. Ive tried to contact the company but they keep hanging up on me or I get someone that can not speak good enough English for me to talk to so Im out of options and would really like something to get done about this been almost a year and half.

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 am filing this formal complaint under FCRA 605B ( 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2 ) requesting that Equifax immediately block and permanently remove multiple fraudulent accounts that were added to my credit report without my knowledge or authorization. These accounts are the direct result of fraudulent activity, not any legitimate consumer transaction. The fraudulent accounts consist of : ( 1 ) a credit card account opened at XXXX XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX under account number XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX with a balance of {$200.00}, ( 2 ) a collection account opened at XXXX XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX under account number XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX with a balance of {$870.00}, and ( 3 ) a collection account opened at XXXX XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX under account number XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX with a balance of {$2700.00}. I have provided a valid FTC Fraud Report # XXXX and # XXXX along with supporting documentation, including proof that my personal data was compromised in the Equifax data breach. 

I am filing this FTC Identity Theft Affidavit to report three ( 3 ) fraudulent accounts appearing on my consumer XXXX Equifax credit report which I do not recognize as reported and which are the result of identity theft and fraud. These fraudulent accounts consist of a credit card account opened at XXXX  XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX under account number XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX with a balance of {$200.00}, a collection account opened at XXXX XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX under account number XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX with a balance of {$870.00}, and a collection account opened at XXXX XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX under account number XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  with a balance of {$2700.00}. These accounts have resulted in several fraudulent hard inquiries and fraudulent collections appearing on my consumer XXXX credit report. I demand that the aforementioned fraudulent items be removed from each of my consumer credit reports and that all collection activity related to said items cease pursuant to my rights within the FCRA and FDCPA laws. 

It is the credit bureaus legal obligation under the FCRA to review and block fraudulent, inaccurate, or incomplete information from a consumers file within four ( 4 ) business days of receiving proper documentation. I am demanding the immediate removal of all fraudulent items, a stop to all related collection activity, and confirmation that this dispute has been escalated for manual investigation, not automated processing. Failure to act in accordance with federal law may result in further legal action to protect my consumer rights.

Company: Mitsubishi Motors North America, Inc.
State: NJ

Complaint narrative:
In XX/XX/year>, I visited XXXX XXXX in response to an online advertisement for a used vehicle that was listed at an affordable price. However, when I arrived at the dealership, I was told that the listed price was no longer valid unless I met undisclosed conditions, such as financing through their lender and purchasing extended warranty packages. This was a clear case of bait-and-switch pricing. 

Under pressure from the sales staff, I was rushed through the paperwork process. I was told the car had passed inspection and was in good condition, yet shortly after purchase, the vehicle began showing serious mechanical problems issues that likely existed prior to the sale. I was never shown a vehicle history report or inspection results before signing. 

I later discovered that the loan, which was arranged through XXXX XXXX, included multiple unauthorized add-ons, such as extended warranties and GAP insurance, which I did not agree to. These charges increased the loan amount by thousands of dollars beyond what I understood at the time of signing. 

I contacted XXXX XXXX to dispute the charges, question the vehicle 's condition, and request assistance, but they were dismissive and refused to take responsibility. They claimed the vehicle was sold " as-is, '' despite never giving me a written as-is disclosure or proper warranty documentation at the time of sale. 

I also reached out to XXXX XXXX to dispute the charges, but they refused to remove them, stating " someone has to pay for it. '' This experience has left me with an unreliable vehicle, a loan far higher than what was promised, and no support from the dealership. I believe this dealership engaged in deceptive advertising, misrepresentation of the vehicles condition, and fraudulent financing practices.

Complaint narrative:
I am concerned about the validity and accuracy of your recent investigation of these accounts that are reporting on my credit report. Last month I requested an investigation because I felt the item was not being reported legally. Couple of days ago I received a letter stating that you have ceased investigation of my credit reports because, in your opinion, you believe that I have used a third party credit repair agency. Not only do I believe this to be a stall tactic on your part to grant you an additional 30 days to comply with my original request, but I believe it to be a blatant violation of the FCRA.

I have attached a copy of my government issued ID as well as mail showing proof of address. So, there shouldnt be any confusion or stall tactics on your end. I have maintained a careful record of my communications with you for the purpose of filing a complaint with the FTC should you continue in your non-compliance.
