Issue: Improper use of your report

Subissue: Reporting company used your report improperly

Consumer Complaint: On XX/XX/, I went into XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX to see about the possibility of purchasing a vehicle. I did sign a piece of paper that XXXX XXXX XXXX will ask for identification to confirm how I am and that is all I signed, once. Also stating that it is XXXX XXXX XXXX I am applying for a car loan with. After spending about XXXX minutes hearing XXXX XXXX jiggle all the numbers around in loan offer I finally got up and went home. When I returned home, I seen that there are XXXX other banks on my Experian account that says I applied for credit with them. So I did make a report to the Office of Attorney General of California and when I received a mailing from The California Office of Attorney General in the mailing it shows that XXXX XXXX had slipped XXXX other documents that I was not shown on XX/XX/2023. On the second page labeled XXXX XXXX XXXX it shows that I agree to submit this application and any other application to other banks that XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX discloses to me. I was not told of any other bank my word of mouth nor by paperwork. I find that what XXXX XXXX did was deceitful into doing XXXX thing, that is to demolish my credit report with numerous bank loans. bank loans that I did not authorize may i remind you. I have been denied credit from what I believe is from the inquiries. On document labeled attachment B it shows that that XXXX XXXX statements does not show he was checking another bank. Also when I went into the financial office XXXX XXXX had everything ready for me. Which means he made XXXX bank loan offers on his own without my permission while I was waiting in the lobby to call me in

Issue: Getting a loan or lease

Subissue: Credit denial

Consumer Complaint: XX/XX/XXXX, I was invited to dealership ( see address of dealer below ) for purchase of newer vehicle with option to trade in the vehicle I bought from ( XXXX XXXX XXXX ) on XX/XX/XXXX. XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, Ohio XXXX Application Number : XXXX Re : Adverse Action Letter XX/XX/XXXX When I arrived I was asked, " Do you want to trade in your old vehicle? '' I stated " No '' The salesman stated, " without a down payment, no bank would approve you. '' I asked, " Do XXXX XXXX have consumer financing? '' Salesman stated " Yes, however due to your current loan, your amount past due and loan amount owed, no bank would approve you. '' Salesman asked, " What is your credit score? '' I stated, " I'm unsure, but I'm only here at this location because you sent me a car invite advertisement via email and I'm willing to extend consumer credit '' Salesman picked up the phone to call financial institute my vehicle is financed through, asked my social to access my account. Once he obtained information he was inquiring about he looked at me then looked away and smirked. I asked, " Can we start the application process? Car salesman, then stated, " I'm just trying to figure out how you're going to get that payment down '' He giggles. Get up out of chair and say, " I will be right back. '' He returned and request to see the vehicle I informed him " I did not want to trade in. '' He takes photos, and photos of mileage. We returned back to his desk. He went back to speak with office manager. When he returned, I was informed... Unfortunately, we can not approve you. I left completely discouraged. On XX/XX/XXXX I returned to XXXX XXXX XXXX, after receiving another email invite and thanking me for my recent transaction. However, I endured the same experience if not worse. I was discriminated against again! I returned, I was clear and precise about only running my credit once. I explained the reason for my visit and my goals. I do not want to leave the dealership with multiple unauthorized inquiries. Inquiries I have no benefit from consumer transaction. Salesman agreed. I we started the application process via paper. I informed the salesman I wanted to extend consumer credit. Salesman agreed and verbalized understanding. During application process, salesman started asking me questions about religion and other personal questions. Like ; why do I need a vehicle so big, what was I going to use the vehicle for etc.. I felt SO uncomfortable. I couldn't speak up unless I was ready to be attacked and or kicked out for standing up for myself. He returned and stated I would need a down payment. I asked, how much was I financed for. The down payment can be included in my finance charge. He did not respond. I informed him again, this was a " zero down consumer transaction. '' He stated, " Here 's the deal. We can not give you a vehicle like that due to your credit. '' I tried to inform him of my consumer rights citing 15 U.S.Code 1602 ( a ), U.S.C 1691- U.S.C 1692. I also asked salesman to review 12 CFR 1002. Informing him this is discrimination, the email sent to me was deceiving, unfavorable practices. When I tried explain the illegal, misinforming practices within XXXX XXXX, I was ignored. I stated my contract created was breached and a fraud contract. I explained how : - How I was denied and lied to about the rescission process. Denied information and informed there is no department of rescission. - I never received any information about rescission before or after leaving dealership as well as other issues that happened with vehicle I purchased the vehicle XX/XX/XXXX. I was ignored, and then another salesman approached me and became verbally aggressive with me. Speaking loud over me and telling me to have a great day. I asked for XXXX and was denied. I started citing codes from TILA, CFPB, FTC, XXXX and they attacked me more. I asked for the managers business card and was denied. I left again feeling lesser than before. My rights had been violated. I was not given any other options and I have not just " soft inquiries '' but hard inquiries now. I couldn't stop because I need a vehicle, I have to work. I knew if I go car shopping I would continue to be discriminated against due to my credit. I was the only XXXX person in the dealership and felt out of place. I received an Adverse Action Letter from ALLY BANK

Issue: Incorrect information on your report

Subissue: Account information incorrect

Consumer Complaint: On XX/XX/, I spoke with XXXX from Ally Financial. I was informed my vehicle was in repossession status and I had three options. XXXX. To refinance my loan XXXX. Sell the vehicle XXXX. Allow Ally to repossess the vechicle. I knew with allowing Ally to repossess the Vehicle that my credit score would be severely impacted. So, I applied to refinance my loan which due to covid and the lack of work, my credit score was not in any shape for refinancing. Extremely overwhelmed, I called Ally back the next day to work out a settlement deal that was more feasible for me. I only owed XXXX XXXX on my vehicle and knew there could be a payoff request I could make. Ally offered to drop the amount to {$9300.00} and once payment was received by Ally, Ally agreed to settled the account. Ally also agreed to send me a letter for the credit bureaus noting the account was paid in full, the account was in good standing and to remove any negative impact in which the account currently had off my credit reports. I received the letter from Ally dated XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX which did not state the removal from my credit report. The letter I received stated nothing close to what was agreed upon. Ally received my payment as promised and failed to comply with their agreement. Due to Ally failing to comply with the agreement, it has been detrimental to my livelihood, causing me enormous levels of stress due to my credit report having such a large delinquent on it from Ally. I have made several attempts to resolve this matter with Ally but to no avail has it been rectified. Ally received payment as promise once we agreed to settle.
