Consumer Narrative
In XXXX XXXX I lost my job, and Bridgecrest XXXX my car. I tried my best to have the car reinstated, but I was unsuccessful. This repossession on my credit report killed my scores tremendously and I was unsuccessful obtaining credit anywhere. In XXXX and XXXX, I started working hard to catch up on debt, and reestablish myself so that I may become credit worthy again. I reached out to XXXX multiple times to try to find out what happened to the car because I did not receive anything from them explaining to me what was going to/what happened to the car They not only denied me access of buying back the car, they also never gave me the chance to reinstate the car. In XXXX of XXXX, I pulled my credit report and saw that the car was still listed as open, and in repossession. And Every month it reported as being late. I disputed the account with XXXX and the credit bureaus and according to them the account is reporting correctly. But how is this so when the account is reporting different data to each furnisher? How is this so when the car was repossessed over 5 years ago? Was it sold, Shouldnt it be listed as a charge off? And if its a charge off, should it be listing late payments? When did the late occur? And why is the balance still the same, was the car not sold? Who was it sold to? Is the account charged off? If so, why is my credit reports stating different? Every month the credit bureaus are allowing this company, XXXX to report inaccurate, incomplete, unverifiable information. The open date is inaccurate, the close date is inaccurate, the status is inaccurate, the payment history is inaccurate the balance is incorrect, the date of last payment is incorrect and the date of last activity is inaccurate and each of these categories is reporting different data to each data furnisher month after month after month. For many years. This company is updating incomplete, unverifiable, and incorrect information every month. I have disputed these unverifiable inaccuracies in writing, on line, and by phone with XXXX, XXXX, Equifax, and the company ; but yet these data furnishes still allow this company to destroy my credit worthiness by intentionally reporting incomplete, unverified, and inaccurate information every month for XXXX. This company is intentionally destroying my credit worthiness by intentionally violating the FCRA requirements by intentionally reporting incomplete, inaccurate, and unverifiable information. PLEASE HELP BECAUSE I HAVE SUBMITTED MANY DISPUTES BUT THE COMPANY AND THE CREDIT BUREAUS CONTINUE TO '' UPDATE '' THE ACCOUNT WITH INACCURATE, UNVERIFIABLE INFORMATION ALTHOUGH THEY CLAIM TO HAVE INVESTIGATED.
