Complaint narrative:
Experian Consumer Assistance XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX  XXXX Subject : Request for Written Instruction Pursuant to 15 USC 1681b ( 2 ) Dear Experian Consumer Assistance, I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to address a matter concerning the furnishing of a consumer report without my explicit permission. Pursuant to the provisions outlined in 15 USC 1681b ( 2 ), I hereby request that you provide me with a written instruction, if any, that I have on file granting you consent to furnish a consumer report on my behalf. This request is made in accordance with my rights as a consumer under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). 

To my knowledge, I have never given Experian consent to furnish a consumer report about me in the first place. As such, I believe that your actions may be in violation of federal law. I kindly request that you promptly provide me with the aforementioned written instruction, if it exists, to substantiate your right to furnish a report on my behalf. 

Failure to provide the requested documentation will leave me no choice but to pursue legal action against Experian for noncompliance with federal law. I will not hesitate to file a complaint in federal court and seek appropriate remedies. Additionally, I will consult with legal counsel immediately to ensure that my rights are protected throughout this process. 

Furthermore, I demand that the entire consumer report pertaining to my personal information be expunged from your database if my consent can not be substantiated by a valid written instruction. This includes any and all associated data, as well as any information derived from the consumer report. I expect full compliance with this request within the timeframe specified by applicable laws and regulations. 

Should this matter remain unresolved, I will provide you with an affidavit of truth and an invoice for the inconveniences caused by your noncompliance with federal law. I trust that it will not come to this, as I believe Experian values its reputation as a responsible and law-abiding credit reporting agency. 

I appreciate your attention to this matter and expect a timely response within [ number of days, normally 30 days ] from the receipt of this letter. Please address all correspondences related to this matter to the address provided above or via email at XXXX. 

Thank you for your prompt assistance in rectifying this situation. I hope we can resolve this matter amicably. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

State: TX

Complaint narrative:
XXXX XXXX XXXX It is a crime to threaten lawsuit with no intention of doing so, therefore you can take heed that I am very serious about filing suit against TRANSUNION. I have sent 3 previous letters to you, all by PRIORITY MAIL ( receipts attached above ) requesting that you remove inaccurate information from my file and you have failed to do so. 
Accordingly, I can show a judge that these accounts are inaccurate and that you violated the Fair Credit Reporting Act by ignoring my requests to investigate the items. My previous letters ( all sent by priority mail ) stated my reasons for an investigation and these reasons were not frivolous in any way. If this final request does not prompt you to conduct a proper investigation of these accounts in question, and send proof to me of said investigation, I will file a civil suit in my county for damages and you can travel to defend yourself. I take my credit very serious and your lack of professionalism and assistance disappoints me. I am well aware of my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act and I intend to pursue them to the maximum. I await your response.

State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to you to formally register a comprehensive complaint regarding grave issues I have encountered with both U.S. Auto Sales and U.S. Auto Finance, entities operating under your jurisdiction. I believe it is crucial to bring to your attention the array of discrepancies and injustices surrounding my vehicle purchase and loan, specifically concerning the extended warranty, GAP coverage, and undue disruptions to my vehicle usage. 

On XX/XX/XXXX, I, XXXX XXXX XXXX, entered into a vehicle purchase agreement with U.S. Auto Sales, a copy of which is attached for your reference. As a prudent consumer, I opted for an extended warranty and GAP coverage to ensure the security of my investment. These additional protections came at an extra cost, which I have diligently included in my car payments since the initiation of the agreement. 

However, shockingly, on XX/XX/XXXX, I received communication from XXXX, the provider of the extended warranty, stating that my extended warranty was never funded. This revelation carries significant implications, suggesting that I have been making payments for an extended warranty and GAP coverage that have not been honored in any capacity. 

To provide a comprehensive understanding of the severity of these matters, I have attached the following documents : Copy of the purchase agreement Records of payment made for the extended warranty and GAP coverage Communication from XXXX dated XX/XX/XXXX, confirming the lack of funding for my extended warranty These continuous issues have left me profoundly unsettled and disadvantaged, both financially and in terms of my ability to use the vehicle I rightfully own. I am seeking your immediate intervention to rectify these grievances and to ensure that U.S. Auto Sales and U.S. Auto Finance are held accountable for their actions. 

I am seeking the following actions to be taken : A thorough investigation into the practices of U.S. Auto Sales and U.S. Auto Finance regarding the sale of extended warranties, GAP coverage, and the unwarranted disruptions of customers ' vehicles. 
A prompt and comprehensive resolution that encompasses refunding the payments made for the unfunded extended warranty and GAP coverage.

Assurance that such practices are rectified to prevent future instances of mishandling customers ' rights and payments.
