XXXX has resolved the account reporting problem, XXXX and Trans Union has not. The Company that I have the accounts with has notified me that they have removed all prior paying history with all the CRAs and updated correct information.

Complaint narrative:
I am responding to your contact about a debt you are trying to collect. You contacted me by mail, on XX/XX/2023 and identified this alleged debt. 

Please supply the information below so that I have all information : The name and address of the creditor to whom the debt is currently owed, the account number used by that creditor, and the amount owed. 

If this debt started with a different creditor, provide the name and address of the original creditor, the account number used by that creditor, and the amount owed to that creditor at the time it was transferred. When you identify the original creditor, please provide any other name by which I might know them, if that is different from the official name. In addition, tell me when the current creditor obtained the debt and who the current creditor obtained it from. 

Provide verification and documentation that there is a valid basis for claiming that I must pay the debt to the current creditor.

Complaint narrative:
After XXXX XXXX XXXX ( dealership ) assigned interest in the retail installment contract I initially agreed to, Gateway Financial Solutions created a new contract without disclosing to me what it entailed, modified the numbers, and used this contract unlawfully to create an account in my name unbeknownst to me. I never understood the full entailment of this new contract and they took unreasonable advantage of my lack of understanding. They insisted and influenced me to execute a contract I had never agreed to. Not only just that, but they seized my property and sold it with all the belongings to me in it. They also have been unlawfully producing and transferring my personal information to credit reporting agencies without my consent on behalf of this account they fraudulently created. 

First I contacted the dealership, which conveniently ( sarcasm ) has gone out of business or have changed their contact information so much I could not find them. So I contacted Gateway to validate the information, where did they get this information ; they sent me payment history, my original credit application, and a retail installment contract that APPEARS to be the same contract assigned to them from the dealership. However when comparing the contract to MY original contract it is obvious that this contract that is on file with them has been fraudulently furnished. My signature is omitted in areas, the XXXX contract omitted, the itemization of the amount financed is totally different, what happened? I contact them over the phone, I sent them documents enclosed in this complaint and they didn't have much to tell me but I wanted them to block and remove this account from my credit report immediately ( this happened yesterday XX/XX/23 ). Gateway Financials ' agents ( specifically, XXXX XXXX told me that they didn't have a GAP contract submitted to them so I should go to the dealership for that ... well I contacted the XXXX people who have records of this still existing GAP contract for my vehicle because I paid for it and on it the assignee is indeed Gateway Financial. Weird. 

I come to the CFPB because this has caused so much damages to my credit worthiness, in fact, I JUST got denied for a simple XXXX XXXX credit card because of what they are fraudulently reporting against me on my credit report. This has happened more than once and I'm sure to several other people, I had to move to a new city, get a new job, and I still don't have a car! My auto payment was shot up and you'll see the deception in the documents because the cash price of this vehicle was XXXX dollars but on the contract it says over XXXX XXXX dollars, I was told this jump was because my credit but that's XXXX. Over XXXX XXXX dollars totally unaccounted for. This is totally unfair as a consumer and GOOD people get taken advantage of every day.
