The creditors must provide detailed information on each account and inquiry, including dates, purposes, and types of credit products involved, furnish relevant application documents, and present evidence of explicit authorization for each inquiry.

Complaint narrative:
To Whom It May Concern, I am writing to formally dispute an auto loan/credit account that has been reported to my credit file. In XX/XX/2022, I purchased a vehicle that caught fire within one day of ownership due to what appeared to be a faulty electrical system. The fire posed an immediate threat to my safety and that of my passengers we could have been seriously injured or killed. This vehicle was clearly defective and should never have been sold in that condition. I immediately notified both the dealership and XXXX, informing them of the fire and the vehicle 's dangerous condition. Despite our report, no meaningful action was taken to address the issue or rectify the situation. I returned the vehicle, and it was no longer in my possession after that first day. I did not continue to use or benefit from the vehicle, nor was it safe to do so. I respectfully request that the associated account or loan be removed or corrected from my credit report. It is unfair and inaccurate to hold me responsible for a vehicle that was clearly defective, unsafe, and immediately returned. This account is causing undue harm to my credit history and financial standing. Please investigate this dispute and provide confirmation on any actions taken. Also I am the co signer for this account. On my credit report it says that I was current for the month of XXXX, XXXX, XXXX of 2022. Then I became delinquent. That information is false due to the fact the vehicle caught on fire and we did not have the vehicle no longer than 48hrs. The vehicle was picked up and returned burned to the dealership
