Issue: Improper use of your report — Credit inquiries on your report that you don't recognize
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: AL

Complaint narrative:
I recently reviewed my credit report and found unauthorized inquiries. 

I have already contacted the creditors below, and they have not provided me with any proof that I initiated such inquiries, nor provided me with written authorization or any permissible purpose. Since they do not have my authorization, written or verbal, I ask that you DELETE these unauthorized inquiries from my credit report immediately, as there is no evidence of any authorization, nor any permissible purpose.

As you know, according to Section 604 of the Fair Credit Reporting Act, Permissible Purposes of Consumer Reports 15 U.S. Code 1681b, Subsection ( a ), the below creditors have not demonstrated any allowable permissible purpose, and any consumer reporting agency may furnish a consumer report under those circumstances and no other.

As such, under 15 U.S. Code 1681i, Paragraph ( 5 ) Treatment of Inaccurate or Unverifiable Information ( A ) In general : If, after any reinvestigation under paragraph ( 1 ) of any information disputed by a consumer, an item of the information is found to be inaccurate or incomplete or can not be verified, the consumer reporting agency shall ( i ) promptly delete that item of information from the file of the consumer, or modify that item of information, as appropriate, based on the results of the reinvestigation ; and ( ii ) promptly notify the furnisher of that information that the information has been modified or deleted from the file of the consumer.

The following inquiries are unauthorized, and I ask that you DELETE them : Creditor Name XXXX XXXX XXXX Inquiry Date : XX/XX/XXXX Reason : I don't recognize this inquiry Creditor Name : XXXX Inquiry Date : XX/XX/XXXX Reason : I don't recognize this inquiry Creditor Name : XXXX Inquiry Date : XX/XX/XXXX Reason : I don't recognize this inquiry Creditor Name : XXXX XXXX Inquiry Date : XX/XX/XXXX Reason : I don't recognize this inquiry Creditor Name : XXXX Inquiry Date : XX/XX/XXXX Reason : I don't recognize this inquiry Creditor Name : XXXX  XXXX Inquiry Date : XX/XX/XXXX Reason : I don't recognize this inquiry Creditor Name : XXXX XXXX  Inquiry Date : XX/XX/XXXX Reason : I don't recognize this inquiry Creditor Name XXXX XXXX XXXX Inquiry Date : XX/XX/XXXX Reason : I don't recognize this inquiry Creditor Name : XXXX  Inquiry Date : XX/XX/XXXX Reason : I don't recognize this inquiry Creditor Name XXXX XXXX XXXX Inquiry Date : XX/XX/XXXX Reason : I don't recognize this inquiry

Issue: Managing the loan or lease — Problem with the interest rate
Company: Exeter Finance, LLC.
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, GA XXXX ( XXXX ) XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX To : Consumer Financial Protection Bureau XXXX. XXXX XXXX XXXX  XXXX DC XXXX Subject : Formal Complaint AgainsXXXX Exeter Finance Regarding Predatory Auto Loan Terms Dear Sir or Madam, I am writing to formally file a complaint against Exeter Finance regarding the terms and cost of my auto loan. 
On XX/XX/XXXX, I financed a XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX through XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. The financing was arranged with Exeter Finance. The loan was for {$17000.00} at an Annual Percentage Rate ( APR ) of 26.65 %, resulting in a total finance charge of {$17000.00} and total payments of {$34000.00} over 72 months. 
The vehicle was already nearly ten years old at the time of purchase, and the total cost of the loan is more than double the car 's fair market value. I believe the interest rate and loan structure are predatory in nature and place an unfair financial burden on me as a borrower. 
I want to make it clear that I want to do right and pay this loan, but I am seriously struggling to do so due to the extreme amount of interest being charged. I have been making my monthly payments of {$480.00}, but the majority of my payment goes to interest rather than principal, making it feel nearly impossible to get ahead. 
I am requesting that Exeter Finance work with me to : - Reduce the APR to a fair and reasonable rate, - Recalculate the loan balance based on the reduced rate, or - Offer a settlement or refinance option that would allow me to keep making payments without financial collapse. 
I am providing this complaint so that the CFPB can review Exeter Finance 's lending practices and require a fair resolution in my case. I am also filing this complaint with the Georgia Attorney General 's Consumer Protection Division for review under state consumer protection laws.

Please contact me at your earliest convenience to confirm receipt of this complaint and advise on the next steps. 
Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, GA XXXX ( XXXX ) XXXX XXXX XXXX

To the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, The initial information held for the account contained significant inaccuracies, including the name, contact number, address, and the amount due. 
A complaint was submitted to XXXX regarding these errors, with the expectation that they would investigate and correct the information based on the details provided. However, upon submitting the complaint, XXXX updated their internal records to reflect the correct information. This made it appear as though no inaccuracies existed when the formal complaint was filed. 
This raises concerns about their practices and potential attempts to obscure or downplay the extent of the initial inaccuracies. The CFPB is requested to investigate XXXX 's handling of this matter, considering their use of incorrect information and the subsequent changes made when the complaint was submitted. Changes reflect even the amount owed as well as paid. Past due status, Reported dates and more. 
Supporting documents, including initial account statements and any correspondence that reflects the incorrect information used by XXXX and attempts to rectify it, can be provided. 
Their actions has cause life altering consequences for me. I am requesting the profile be completely removed from all reporting credit agencies immediately. 
Thank you for your time and assistance in this matter. 
Sincerely, XXXX XXXX
