State: OH

Complaint narrative:
THIS IS NOT A REQUEST TO START A NEW DISPUTE, OR INVESTIGATION. THIS IS NOT A DUPLICATE COMPLAINT AND NO THIRD PARTY IS INVOLVED. THIS IS NOT NEW INFORMATION RELEVANT TO DISPUTE. 

I personally took time out of my day to send disputes to Experian, and on XX/XX/XXXX, I received an automated email from Experian saying, " We received a suspicious request in the mail regarding your personal credit report and determined it was not sent by you... we will not be initiating any disputes based on the suspicious correspondence. '' The dispute was sent by me, and only me. This is the second time you've illegally tried to stall and not follow your duties as a consumer reporting agency. The first time was a dispute sent on XX/XX/2021, and no investigation was ever done which is illegal. I demand a proper investigation to be conducted and results mailed to me. I do not consent to Metro 2 Compliance. 

You have 15 days to conduct an investigation elsewise you are in federal violation of 15 USC 1681i.

She received a letter dated XX/XX/22 from M & T stating that her application had been deemed complete as of XX/XX/22. On XX/XX/22, she received a letter from M & T stating, " While we have reviewed all the documents and information that you have submitted, we are still in the process of obtaining third-party information that is necessary for us to make a determination on your application. '' The letter specified that the required information was " Investor Approval [ and ] MI Approval. '' As of today, more than six weeks later, M & T says that the application is " still in underwriting. '' As the application was deemed complete more than two months ago, M & T is not in compliance with 12 CFR 1024.41 ( c ) ( 1 ), which requires the servicer to review and render a determination on a complete modification application within 30 days. XXXX XXXX ( who suffered a COVID hardship and was extended a COVID forbearance, but whose income has resumed ) is very able to afford to pay her mortgage once the arrears are capitalized and the term is extended, as her complete modification application with its supporting documentation demonstrates..

I refuse to continue to pay towards a settlement when they refuse to report correct balances, lie to me every time I inquire of these discrepancies over the phone, and put my payments towards interest that shouldnt exist.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
On XXXX I went to XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX for the reason to purchase a vehicle. The funds being used were from a certified check verified via telephone by XXXX XXXX, Finance ManageXXXX for XXXX as I sat at his desk. Once the funds were verified, XXXX XXXX who I was told doesnt work there anymore, began printing out the paperwork to transfer the vehicle into my name and any other paperwork needed for the transfer of my vehicle. Before signing any of the paperwork, I ask XXXX XXXX if they would be running my credit because one of the papers that was placed in front of me looked like a credit application. I asked to make sure that this was a cash purchase and informed XXXX XXXX that I did not want my credit ran, being that being that I was in the process of building credit and shouldnt have my credit ran on what was equal to a cash transaction. XXXX XXXX assured me that there was no need to run my credit because as I heard when he called to verify the fund, that the funds are indeed verified via the earlier call. With that reassurance I signed all the paperwork XXXX XXXX placed in front of me and drove home an hour later in my XXXX XXXX XXXX. 

XXXX I call up to XXXX  XXXX to inquire as to why I still have not received the license plates or title to my vehicle. While on hold I see the consumer credit contract or retail installment sales contract that shows that I financed the vehicle and made one payment for the total amount of the vehicle. I inquire with XXXX the new Finance Manager, as to why they would document a cash transaction as if I financed the vehicle. XXXX informed me ( 7 months after purchasing the vehicle ) that they indeed did run my credit and the reason that the company does that is in case the funds from the check were not available. Again XXXX XXXX called and verified the funds right in front of me so I immediately pointed that out and addressed the violations including identity theft with him before ending the call. XXXX did not have my permission to run my credit at all. XXXX should not have falsely recorded what is equivalent to a cash purchase as a retail installment loan when there was never a loan that XXXX XXXX provided me. 

There was no reason for them to run my credit. There was no reason to open a retail financing contract when the vehicle was paid in full with a verified check. If they did have a company policy to the contrary that was not disclosed to me and should have been as soon as i told the finance manager that i did not want my credit ran. 

I am rescinding any signature that gave this fraud validity due to the fact that full disclosure was not present even when the opportunity arose to present it was addressed by me demanding that they not run my credit.
