Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem

Subissue: Their investigation did not fix an error on your report

Consumer Complaint: This is an ongoing issue : Per XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX : A cease and desist was placed on your account effective XX/XX/XXXX. Once the account is paid full, XXXX will release XXXX XXXX security interest in the vehicle. This issue is ongoing. In my Validation letter, a cease and desist was put in place in order to stop collection of any payment until the auto loan was properly Validated and sent to me. XXXX XXXX XXXX has not honored that portion of my letter. They have made Late payment remarks on my credit report to all XXXX Credit Bureaus which has severely impacted my credit. I initially told XXXX XXXX XXXX that I was involved in a car accident as a passenger and the random confirmation numbers that was provided by XXXX XXXX XXXX was given to me by their phone Representative ( XXXX ) in a recorded conversation, stating that due to my accident and how XXXX saw that I got my account back current in XXXX of XXXX, that they would remove the remark. The confirmation numbers they gave me IS NOT my contract number. I have my contract number so, I'm not sure why XXXX XXXX XXXX is saying that that is my account number and that is false. The contract number that I received from them is an invalid number and it is not mine. I sent a Validation Letter asking XXXX XXXX XXXX to provide me with my contract and as of now, they have yet to provide me of the info that I have requested/needed. During the time of this Validation process, my credit score went from a XXXX to now a XXXX and it's all because I need to validate if this loan belongs to me. I have never been this severely impacted by an entity that I didnt sign on with, in my life. The Payment History needs to be removed from my credit report. A payment was made XX/XX/XXXX after they sent me a letter threatening to repossess the vehicle while I am awaiting for XXXX XXXX XXXX to send over Validation. This situation has brought my credit scores down while I'm working towards homeownership. XXXX XXXX XXXX knows I've been making overly consistent payments until I needed proof of Validation. That's why a Cease and Desist was in order, to prevent this sort of thing from happening while Validation is ongoing at the time. It appears as if XXXX XXXX XXXX honored parts of my Validation letter and not ALL of the Validation Letter I asked them to Please Validate who they say they are. As of yet, I have not received any Validation from them beside a letter where they state they can not provide Validation at this time. But, XXXX XXXX XXXX continues to want my payment and threatening to repossess the vehicle.

Consumer Complaint: I appreciate you trying to update and repair some of the data on my credit report, but some accounts still need to be fixed. The 3 Credit Bureaus must verify these accounts in accordance with Sections 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) and 611 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ). I'm hoping that these disputed accounts will be fixed as soon as possible.

Issue: Improper use of your report

Subissue: Reporting company used your report improperly

Consumer Complaint: I sent an administrative process to AIDVANTAGE the loan servicer for XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX letting them know that they have unlawfully and inaccurately reported information to third party companies known as XXXX, EQUIFAX, and XXXX which have ALL hindered me from better interests rates on other products and jobs. Please see the consumer protection laws that I am including in this letter to justify my case. Also please review my documents of XXXX has agreed to remove from ALL credit reporting agencies but NAVIENT HAS NOT. THERE ARE CIVIL PENALTIES THAT I CAN APPLY FOR NON-COMPLIANCE. 15 U.S. Code 1681n - Civil liability for willful noncompliance Per the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 USC 1681 ), section 602 ( a ), it underscores the imperative to ensure that consumer reporting agencies carry out their crucial responsibilities with fairness, impartiality, and a commitment to the consumer 's right to privacy. As a consumer, I affirm my entitlement to safeguard my private information, a right fortified by 15 USC 6801, which enunciates Congress 's directive that financial institutions must actively and consistently uphold customer privacy. The term " Furnisher of information to credit agencies '' encompasses financial institutions under this title. In line with 15 USC 1681, section 604 ( a ) ( 2 ), a consumer reporting agency can only furnish a consumer report upon the written instructions of the concerned consumer. I explicitly deny consent to Equifax, Experian, and any furnisher of information to credit agencies, revoking any previous consent, whether verbal, non-verbal, written, implied, or otherwise. Referring to 15 USC 6802 ( b ) ( c ), a financial institution is barred from disclosing nonpublic personal information to a nonaffiliated third party without elucidating how the consumer can exercise the nondisclosure option. The furnisher of information to credit agencies failed to apprise me of my right to exercise this option. Additionally, as per 15 USC 1681C ( a ) ( 5 ), a consumer reporting agency is prohibited from including adverse information in a consumer report without authorization. The inclusion of adverse information without my permission constitutes a violation of the law. Moreover, 15 U.S. Code 1681s2 ( A ) ( 1 ) A mandates that no person shall furnish inaccurate information to a consumer reporting agency. Equifax and XXXX are falling short in adhering to reasonable procedures, as stipulated by 15 U.S. Code 1681e. Finally, according to 12 CFR 1016.7, a consumer possesses the right to opt out of reporting services at any time. I am exercising my prerogative to opt out of your reporting services. { XXXX, EQUIFAX, XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX } PLEASE REMOVE XXXX and XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX from ALL CREDIT REPORTING AGENCIES and the {$130000.00} balance as they have agreed from my credit reports immediately please. It is harmful, unlawful, and inaccurate. SEE attachment of communication.
