Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account status incorrect
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
Since early XXXX I have been in the process of trying to get a loan to pay off my negative equity of my car. I have noticed each time, Im declined. Finally a couple of days I ago, I decided to pull up my credit report from Experian and noticed that they were reporting that I had high delinquent activity.

So I pulled my full report on Experian, and saw there was no delinquent activity. I have 15 accounts and all accounts are current and never late. 
For example, my Fico score XXXX in AUTO says I have High delinquent activity. But, Not one of my car payments in the last 8 years have been late, repocessed or delinquent. Matter of fact I have never had delinquent activity on ANY of my vehicles. So my Fico score is XXXX why is Experian saying high delinquency? Is this a sick game????

It made complete since, as to why I have not been approved for any personal loans.

So I sent a complaint to Experian dispute center, they emailed me this morning saying I reached the membership center ( not true ) and to call their number. When you call their number it never directs you to a dispute center.

Its illegal for a consumer based company to continually put fraudulent information on someones credit report. They know that! It stops a person from purchasing a home or car and it affects our lives tremendously.

So far every response from them is from a robot.

Company: CarMax, Inc.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
RE Account Numbers XXXX CarMax, This letter is a formal complaint that you are reporting my nonpublic and personal information without my written consent. Please show me the proof you sent me giving me options on how I could opt out of sharing my nonpublic information and proof showing you gave me the option to not disclose my transaction history each month with a third party.

The law states a consumer must give written consent to opt out of sharing their nonpublic information to the financial institution. I did this and you stated I did not have that right to opt out. It is a violation to report my transactions or experiences between you and I with a third party or consumer reporting agency without my written consent. It is the policy stated by Congress that each financial institution has an affirmative and continuing obligation to respect the privacy of its customers and to protect the security and confidentiality of those customers to insure the security and confidentiality of their customer records and information. This includes protecting against unauthorized access to or use of such records or information which could result in substantial harm or inconvenience to any customer.

I the consumer should have been given the opportunity, before such information was to be reported which gives me the option to direct you that such information should not be reported. I also should have been explained how I could exercise that nondisclosure option, which I was never advised. I have written multiple times, and you have continued to ignore my written request.

Your failure to comply with the law and my written request has hurt my ability to obtain credit. Again, I am requesting to opt out of sharing my nonpublic information and for you to remove all my transaction history from all nonaffiliated
third parties such as XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX XXXX immediately. Otherwise, I will pursue legal actions for every month my nonpublic information has been reported which could be a fine of {$1000.00} per violation.

Thank you for your immediate attention to this matter.

Since XX/XX/year>, I have had issues with Lower.com and XXXX XXXX as funds that were supposed to be issued by the settlement company were never issued out to the debtors.

Neither company will take ownership of the issue and the settlement company had me jumping through to return funds owed to me. I have reached out to both entities in separate occasion but at this point, I am exhausted and I shouldnt have to do all of this work. Especially after paying considerably amount in closing costs and fees to Lower.com and XXXX XXXX.
