Issue: Incorrect information on your report

Subissue: Information belongs to someone else

Consumer Complaint: I am writing to file a formal complaint regarding unauthorized actions taken by Alley Bank in relation to my business account. My name is XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, and I am the sole proprietor of XXXX XXXX XXXX, which is a limited partner with XXXX XXXX XXXX. I recently discovered that Alley Bank had listed me as a co-signer for a vehicle without my knowledge or consent. I have never authorized, nor signed any documentation that would make me a co-signer for any vehicle, especially without my explicit consent. This unauthorized action has had severe negative repercussions on my personal and business finances. At the time when I supposedly became a co-signer for the vehicle in question, I was experiencing significant financial hardship with my personal vehicle, which was coincidentally tied to the same account. This situation has caused immense distress, particularly as it directly contradicts my intention to limit personal liability by conducting business as a limited partner with XXXX XXXX XXXX. Furthermore, it has come to my attention that this unauthorized co-signing has adversely impacted my credit report, which has hindered my ability to conduct business with my personal assets. This erroneous listing has had a detrimental effect on my financial standing and has caused unnecessary complications. Considering these circumstances, I have sought legal counsel and have retained the services of Attorney XXXX XXXX to address this matter. I am hereby requesting that Alley Bank rectify this issue immediately, revoke any unauthorized agreements, and ensure that I am not subjected to any further contractual obligations or harassment in relation to this unauthorized co-signing.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report

Subissue: Account status incorrect

Consumer Complaint: In XXXX of 2023, Ally Financial reported me as being delinquent two payments on my vehicle. This was shocking as since the inception of the loan several years prior, I had set them up on auto pay and had never been late. I checked my bank account and both payments had been swept on time and cleared. I provided confirmation numbers to Ally, but they insisted these payments had not been made. Upon further investigation with my bank, XXXX XXXX XXXX, I learned that at some point in XXXX, the two organizations changed the manner in which they transfer funds electronically ( or not ) between each other. Without alerting consumers, they changed this method, to what I believe may a manual check process. Addresses were provided unbeknownst to me between the organizations, several of them wrong, with checks being returned and reissued multiple times, again completely without my knowledge. Once I was finally in the loop, I made an immediate payment over the phone plus penalties ( and have still not been reimbursed by either organization for that ) to catch up. XXXX XXXX XXXX issued an immediate good faith letter for their role and Ally assured any negative impacts to my credit would be handled. I was in the process of buying a home, and as I have few credit lines, this single event dropped by score by XXXX points. Ally did nothing in the 6 weeks I was closing to assist in clearing up this issue, and in fact, continue to refuse to correct it, even after I disputed the negative reporting with all three credit bureaus. I have contacted Ally on multiple occasions by phone, each time they claim to have not received the good faith letters from XXXX XXXX XXXX, even though they have been faxed multiple times, I have provided them via their website, they were on the phone with the bank directly etc. Additionally, after receiving their letter stating that they were not changing their credit report on the incident, they have no physical address available to address future letters to, and their online portal did not recognize my account be email or username. After calling again and being told there is no way to send a letter, I threatened legal action, and then, and only then did they provide a XXXX XXXX XXXX of which I doubt I will ever receive any response to. I asked for a physical address or any address a certified letter can be sent to as was told it does not exist. Massive financial organizations like this hope to wear consumers down by making communication and information nearly impossible. These inaccurate negative reports have hugely impactful real world implications to me and all, and I appreciate any help you can provide in this process. Thank you.

Issue: Improper use of your report

Subissue: Reporting company used your report improperly

Consumer Complaint: According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act 15 U.S. Code 1681 section 602 a states " There is a need to insure that consumer reporting agencies exercise their grave responsibilities with fairness, impartiality, and a respect for the consumers right to privacy. XXXX, XXXX and XXXX are consumer reporting agencies, and I am the Consumer. I have the right to make sure my private information isn't shared which is backed by 15 U.S. Code 6801 which states '' It is the policy of the Congress that each financial institution has an affirmative and continuing obligation to respect the privacy of its customers and to protect the security and confidentiality of those customers nonpublic personal information. '' ( Furnisher of information to credit agencies ) is a financial institution by definition under that title. 15 U.S. Code 1681 section 604 ( a ) section 2 states that In general Subject to subsection ( c ), any consumer reporting agency may furnish a consumer report under the following circumstances and no other : in accordance with the written instructions of the consumer to whom it relates. '' ( Furnisher of information to credit agencies ) the financial institution and the Consumer reporting agencies XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX do not have my consent to furnish this information and they surely do not have my written consent. Any and all consent to XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX ( Furnisher of information to credit agencies ) whether it be verbal, non-verbal, written, implied or otherwise is revoked. 15 U.S. Code 6802 ( b ) ( c ) states that " A financial institution may not disclose nonpublic personal information to a nonaffiliated third party unless the consumer is given an explanation of how the consumer can exercise that nondisclosure option. '' ( Furnisher of information to credit agencies ) Never informed me of my right to exercise my nondisclosure option. Not only that 15 U.S. Code1681C ( a ) ( 5 ) states ''Except as authorized under subsection ( b ), no consumer reporting agency may make any consumer report containing any of the following items of information Any other adverse item of information, other than records of convictions of crimes which antedates the report by more than seven years. '' 15 U.S. Code 1681s-2 ( A ) ( 1 ) A states " A person shall not furnish any information relating to a consumer to any consumer reporting agency if the person knows or has reasonable cause to believe that the information is inaccurate. 15 U.S. Code 1681e states ''Every consumer reporting agency shall maintain reasonable procedures designed to avoid violations of section 1681c of this title and to limit the furnishing of consumer reports to the purposes listed under section 1681b of this title. XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX are not maintaining reasonable procedures. Also 12 CFR 1016.7 states that " A consumer may exercise the right to opt out at any time. '' I am opting out of your reporting services. Also, it has come to my attention that late payments and credit utilization data have been included in my credit report, despite falling under the exclusions of transactions and experiences as defined by the law. I am invoking my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), specifically 15 U.S. Code1681 ( a ) ( 2 ), which requires consumer reporting agencies to provide accurate and fair credit reporting. Additionally, 15 U.S. Code 6801 and 6802 ( b ) ( 2 ) explicitly state that nonpublic personal information, including transaction and experience data, should not be disclosed without proper authorization. By including late payments and credit utilization data in my credit report, your agency is in direct violation of these federal laws. As a result, this inaccurate and misleading reporting is adversely affecting my creditworthiness and financial standing. Moreover, these violations raise serious concerns about these agencies blatant misuse of my personal information and other fraudulent activities. Under 18 U.S. Code 1028 ( a ), such identity theft offenses are subject to criminal penalties, further emphasizing the gravity of this matter. 15 U.S. Code 1666b Timing of payments : A creditor may not treat a payment on a credit card account under an open-end consumer credit plan as late for any purpose, unless the creditor has adopted reasonable procedures designed to ensure that each periodic statement including the information required by section 1637 ( b ) of this title is mailed or delivered to the consumer not later than 21 days before the payment due date. I HEREBY REQUEST THAT YOUR COMPANY REMOVE ALL OR UPDATE THE FCRA VIOLATIONS LISTED BELOW BE REMOVED IMMEDIATELY 1. ALL LATE PAYMENTS SHOULD BE UPDATED TOO POSITIVE 15 U.S. Code 1666. 2. UTILIZATION OF THE ACC SHALL NOT BE FURNISHED 15 U.S. Code 1681b - Permissible purposes of consumer reports. 3. INQUIRIES LISTED BE REMOVED.
