Issue: Improper use of your report — Reporting company used your report improperly
Company: Open Dealer Exchange, LLC
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
Dear Consumer Financial Protection Agency, I am writing to bring to your attention a serious issue involving 700 CREDITXXXX XXXX XXXX and their unlawful violation of 15 U.S. Code 1681b, the Privacy Act of 1974. This law establishes a set of rules for how credit reporting agencies and other financial institutions can collect, use, and share an individual 's credit information. 

I recently discovered that 700 CREDITXXXX XXXX XXXX has forcibly placed an inquiry on my credit report without my consent. This is a clear violation of the Privacy Act of 1974, as the law requires that credit inquiries be made with the consent of the individual whose credit is being checked. 

I am requesting your assistance in addressing this issue and ensuring that 700 CREDITXXXX XXXX XXXX complies with the provisions of the Privacy Act of 1974. Specifically, I am requesting that 700 CREDITXXXX XXXX XXXX immediately remove the inquiry from my credit report and provide me with written confirmation that they have done so. 

I also request that 700 CREDITXXXX XXXX XXXX refrain from making any further inquiries or using my credit information without my consent. As a federally protected consumer, I am now opting out of any and all authorization. I, the consumer, may have given you written, unwritten, verbal, no-verbal per 15 U.S. Code 6802. I will report and make a list of demands on the CFPB site. I understand that this is a serious matter, and I expect a prompt and satisfactory resolution to this issue. If 700 CREDITXXXX XXXX XXXX does not take the necessary steps to address this issue, I reserve the right to take further legal action - federal lawsuit. 

Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to your prompt response and resolution of this issue.

Complaint narrative:
This is not a duplicate nor is this complaint filed by a third party. I am filing this complaint myself. Please see this complaint is processed to the letter of the law. I have a loan with XXXX. I have always made my payments on time. For some reason, I realized that there was a 30-day late payment on my credit report and I do not believe I was late on the dates they are reporting. This account should not be showing the current status of 30 day late since it's already been paid for. It seems impossible to accrue late on an account that has already been paid. under Section 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) Disclosures to consumers [ 15 U.S.C. 1681g ] ( ( a ) Information on file ; sources ; report recipients. Experian shall, upon request, and subject to 610 ( a ) ( 1 ) [ 1681h ], clearly and accurately disclose to the consumer. If the consumer to whom the file relates requests that the first 5 digits of the social security number ( or similar identification number ) of the consumer not be included in the disclosure and the consumer reporting agency has received appropriate proof of the identity of the requester, the consumer reporting agency shall so truncate such number in such disclosure. & Section 611 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) Procedure in case of disputed accuracy [ 15 U.S.C. 1681i ] ( a ) Reinvestigations of Disputed Information. If the completeness or accuracy of any item of information contained in my file at Experian is disputed by the consumer and the consumer notifies the agency directly, or indirectly through a creditor, the Bureaus shall, free of charge, conduct a reasonable reinvestigation to determine whether the disputed information is inaccurate and record the current status of the disputed information, or delete the items from my file in accordance with paragraph ( 5 ), before the end of the 30-day period beginning on the date on which the agency receives the notice of the dispute from the consumer or creditor.

Regardless of the multiple written requests, the ITEMS listed below are still reporting on my credit report which is a violation of FCRA. The Bureaus failed to comply with Fair Credit Reporting Act, 15 USC sections 1681i within the time declared by law, they failed to properly investigate the matter by using a third party as their verification provider and have continued reporting the unconfirmed & unverified information. Given all my attempts to address it directly with 3 CREDIT BUREAUS they are willful negligent and non-complying with federal statutes & I need this matter handled immediately.

It appears that my credit file has been compromised. Again, I was going through my records & noticed many information, accounts, or items which do not belong to me. Since Im a stickler for research, I found that under section 605b of the FCRA Experian and XXXX are required by law to remove & block any accounts or information which is found to be opened due to identity theft. The dispute items do not belong to me. Im attaching the required FTC Report for you and the bank 's records ( learned through more research both parties require ). Please remove these files. XXXX XXXX ( Original Creditor : EXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ) XXXX Balance : {$530.00} ; XXXX XXXX ( Original Creditor : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ) XXXX : {$850.00} ; XXXX XXXX ( Original Creditor : XXXX XXXX XXXX  ) XXXX Balance : {$530.00} ; XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX ( Original Creditor : XXXX XXXX ) XXXX Balance : {$380.00} ; If Experian and XXXX feel there is a possibility these accounts belong to me I will require all documentation that bears my signature ( another research item I found that requires you to verify with 100 % accuracy that each account is 100 % true, accurate, correct, complete & VERIFIABLE ). If they do not provide any records & claim the item is verified please understand I will seek legal action. I do not take kindly to games nor does my attorney.SO please comply with the law so this matter can be handled swiftly.
