Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Improper use of your report — Reporting company used your report improperly
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: MI

Complaint narrative:
I am concerned about the validity and accuracy of your recent investigation of these accounts that are reporting on my credit report. Last month I requested an investigation because I felt the item was not being reported legally. Couple of days ago I received a letter stating that you have ceased investigation of my credit reports because, in your opinion, you believe that I have used a third party credit repair agency. Not only do I believe this to be a stall tactic on your part to grant you an additional 30 days to comply with my original request, but I believe it to be a blatant violation of the FCRA. 

I have attached a copy of my government issued ID as well as mail showing proof of address. So, there shouldnt be any confusion or stall tactics on your end. I have maintained a careful record of my communications with you for the purpose of filing a complaint with the FTC should you continue in your non-compliance.

Issue: Getting a loan or lease — Problem with additional add-on products or services purchased with the loan
Company: ALLY FINANCIAL INC.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I am filing a complaint for fraudulent and predatory auto lending involving Ally Financial and XXXX XXXX ( XXXX, FL ). 

On XX/XX/XXXX, I was sold a XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. The dealership falsely claimed I paid a {$5000.00} down payment but this amount was never collected. Despite that, Ally financed the full {$38000.00}, indicating that the down payment was never applied. The vehicle was advertised online for {$34000.00}, but due to padded fees and hidden add-ons, the total amount financed increased substantially. 

My income was falsely reported as $ XXXX on the credit application. I did not provide or authorize this figure. It appears to have been submitted by salesperson XXXX XXXX without my knowledge to force loan approval. Based on that inflated income, I was approved for a XXXX loan at 16.04 % APR with monthly payments of {$840.00}, resulting in a total repayment of {$61000.00} which is financially devastating and constitutes predatory lending. 

Additionally, fees such as a $ XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX and {$910.00} XXXX charge were added without clear disclosure or my consent. 

I believe I was manipulated and misled into a high-cost, unaffordable loan using falsified documentation. I am requesting a full investigation into XXXX XXXX practices and Allys loan approval process, as well as appropriate corrective and enforcement actions. 
My signed purchase agreement clearly states a {$5000.00} down payment, 17.63 % APR, and a XXXX term with monthly payments of {$790.00}. However, Ally processed my loan with a monthly payment of {$840.00} {$53.00} higher than agreed resulting in {$3800.00} in overcharges over the life of the loan. My {$5000.00} down payment was never properly credited, and my income was falsified without my knowledge to approve this unaffordable loan. I was misled, financially exploited, and trapped in a predatory agreement that left me nearly {$20000.00} upside down on a used vehicle. I am requesting full accountability and a {$20000.00} refund for the damages caused.

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/year> I was pulled over and was told my license were suspended, leading to my arrest & car impounded. I was not aware that license were & took all the preliminary actions to ensure I would have a valid license. Contacted my auto insurance company to let them know I needed to add an XXXX to my current policy. I did all the steps and paperwork with auto insurance. I was told by the secretary of states office I would not have to go into local office to pay any fees and once received from company I would be back reinstated automatically. I eventually paid the impound fees to get out of impound lot, insurance told me I was good to go. Then on XX/XX/year> I was again pulled over while traveling to get lunch on my lunch break & again was arrested & car impounded. Turns out my auto insurance agency submitted the wrong information to the secretary of states office three times causing the delay in my license becoming valid again. I reached out to agency to see if since this error was on their end if they could accommodate me by paying the impound fees they did not ; they sent of {$50.00} of XXXX gift cards instead. This simple mistake caused me my job & livelihood, & they still yet havent held any accountability. I could not afford to get car out of impound causing me to voluntarily surrender automobile. This was all an error not by me, & if license were still valid would still have car. Im asking that this is removed from report due to such negligence. This was a very hard time for me with just recently going thru a home foreclosure causing me displaced. This has added an extra amount of stress.

Complaint narrative:
The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( 1 ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system. 

So whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not. In the event that any accounts are reported without my written consent, that is considered identity theft. 

This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This leads way to civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n, which allows for {$1000.00} per violation, for account listed without my expressed written consent.

Complaint narrative:
I sent two certified dispute letters to XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  on XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/year>, regarding three accounts they are reporting. I requested full debt validation under the FDCPA, including a signed contract or original agreement. 

Both times, XXXX responded with the same generic documents. Their XX/XX/XXXX response included duplicates for one XXXX XXXXXXXX account and failed to include the {$1300.00} account. Their XX/XX/XXXX response included duplicates for the {$1300.00} account and omitted the {$880.00} one. Neither response included a signed agreement. 

Despite failing to properly validate the debts, XXXX continues to report these accounts to Experian and XXXX  and even updated the reporting in XX/XX/year>. I believe this violates my rights under the FDCPA and FCRA and ask the CFPB to investigate.
