Complaint narrative:
I submitted a full identity theft package to TransUnion in accordance with FCRA Section 605B. My package included a signed affidavit, my government issued ID, Social Security card, and proof of address. I sent this via overnight mail and it was delivered and signed for. 

Despite receiving all required documentation, TransUnion failed to block the fraudulent XXXX XXXX account within the required 4 business days. Instead, they claimed that payments were being made on the account but provided no proof no bank records, no signed contract, no validation and refused to remove it.

I never authorized this account and never made any payments on it. TransUnion also improperly forwarded my private identity documents to the furnisher without my consent, which violates my privacy and the intent of the FCRAs identity theft protections.

This is not a standard dispute this was a formal 605B identity theft request, which under federal law requires the account to be blocked from my credit report. XXXX refusal to do so is illegal. 

My 605B affidavit and documentation were mailed overnight on XX/XX/year>. TransUnion violated FCRA by sharing my identity documents with a third party creditor ( XXXX XXXX ) without consent. XXXX continues to report monthly late payments on a closed, charged-off account with no payment activity. This is unlawful reporting and must be removed immediately. 

I have also received a mailed letter from TransUnion dated XX/XX/year>, stating they are refusing to block the fraudulent XXXX XXXX account, despite receiving a complete 605B identity theft packet. I will upload this letter as soon as I have access to it.

I filed a dispute regarding incorrect information on my credit report. However, I received an email from the credit bureau stating that they are assuming my disputes came from a third party, which is not true. I even called to verify my identity, yet they still refused to process my disputes. I spent money mailing my disputes and provided personal information to verify my identity, only for them to dismiss my request without a proper investigation.

Company: CREDIT ACCEPTANCE CORPORATION

Complaint narrative:
I have had this loan for going on two years now and yes I have missed payments due to financial hardships but theres no way I took out a XXXX dollar loan for a now eight year old car and I still owe about the same amount. I pay for a two year extended warranty that I have not been able to use for a transmission problem that they were supposed to fix. It was allegedly flagged out and fluid was replaced but it didnt fix the issue. I dropped my car off for a second time around XXXX, they open at XXXX XXXX  with a scheduled appointment and at XXXX they hadnt made any progress. They claimed they needed to keep it until XXXX XXXX, I was stuck at work for want an hour before telling them I was coming to pick it up. This issue was pointed out when I test drove it. I pay extra for a warranty I cant use because I cant afford to take it somewhere else because they want XXXX dollars just to do the diagnostic on it and I may be able to get a refund IF the warranty covers it. I now have a better paying job but theyve made so that I wont be able to get out from under this loan and get a newer car. This is my second loan from Credit Acceptance and it was not like this the first time.

Complaint narrative:
I am updating a late payment that is currently being reported on my credit report as " open '' or unresolved. This entry is inaccurate and misleading. I have either already resolved the payment, or I was never late as claimed. The continued reporting of this item as open and delinquent is a violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), particularly XXXX XXXX. XXXX ( b ), which requires consumer reporting agencies to maintain maximum possible accuracy of the information they report. 

This misreporting has negatively impacted my credit score and may hinder my ability to obtain credit or employment. I am requesting an immediate investigation into this matter, as well as a correction or deletion of the inaccurate late payment record if it can not be verified.
