Complaint narrative:
I am filing this dispute because false and unauthorized accounts are appearing on my credit report. I did not authorize, open, or approve these accounts, nor was I ever notified that they had been added. The fact that each bureau reports different and inconsistent information further proves their inaccuracy and violates the FCRA, 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ), which requires credit bureaus to ensure maximum accuracy in all reporting.

This issue also falls under 15 U.S.C. 1681i, which mandates that disputed items must be investigated and corrected or removed within 30 days, as well as 15 U.S.C. 1681g, which entitles me to full and accurate disclosure of my file.

Company: Bridgecrest Acceptance Corporation
State: SC

Complaint narrative:
I purchased a XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX with XXXX miles on it from XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX. The Annual Percentage Rate they are charging on this vehicle is 24.900 %. The amount I financed was {$29000.00}. They spread the loan out for 72 months, so after the full term of this loan I would have to pay {$57000.00}. I have made every payment of {$790.00} on time for the last year, as well as for the last 6 months I have paid {$800.00} instead. I have limited access to see any of my information on the website through Bridgecrest which is who XXXX does their financing through. When contacting Bridgecrest they are very rude and do not care that I am complaining of their high interest rates and tell me I have no choice but to pay it. I have tried trading in this XXXX to get out of the high interest and payments, but I am about {$10000.00} in negative equity from this now because of their interest and the vehicles depreciation. They are taking advantage of people, and have no empathy for any of their customers. I contacted them on XX/XX/XXXX and asked them if they had a buy back option, or if I did a voluntary surrender where could I turn the vehicle in. I was informed that there is not way for me to voluntarily surrender it and that they would have to send out a tow truck to get the vehicle and that it would be marked as a forced repossesion if I did this. I contacted them today to ask for a breakdown of all payments made and what the payments were going towards because I see that about 90 % of my payment is just going towards the interest alone. I asked for a copy of the chat conversation we had and they told me that they can not send me copies of that and if I wanted it recorded I should have called, but those records are also only saved for their end. She stated in these messages that the loand and contract that I agreed too my APR was 24.9 % and if I delay payments one month then this will have more going to the interest then the principle. But, I have never delayed payments with them for the time that I have had it, yet almost all of my payment is going towards principle. They are severely taking advantage of people.
