Issue: Improper use of your report

Subissue: Credit inquiries on your report that you don't recognize

Consumer Complaint: On XXXX XXXX, XXXX, I purchased a car at XXXX XXXX dealer located in XXXX XXXX Maryland. At the time of my purchase, I came into the dealership with a pre-approved purchase from a bank that I have used in the past to purchase cars.The Finance officer had my credit evaluated as a hard inquiry more than 6 times. I never gave permission to run my report as a hard inquiry as I already had an approval letter. I feel that this action has created a negative impact on my credit profile.

Issue: Struggling to pay your loan

Subissue: Loan balance remaining after the vehicle is repossessed and sold

Consumer Complaint: My name is XXXX XXXX XXXX. I have recently became guardian over my father, XXXX XXXX and ran across some papers concerning a purchase agreement signed by my parents, XXXX and XXXX XXXX XXXX. My mother is now XXXX. On XX/XX/XXXX, my parents signed a purchase agreement with XXXX XXXX XXXX at XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, Alabama. They purchased a XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX for {$40000.00} minus the {$3500.00} down payment totaling {$36000.00}. The vehicle was financed by Ally Bank, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, MD XXXX. The account number is XXXX. The dealership provided 2 checks to my parents, both dated XX/XX/XXXX in the amount of {$18.00} for Title Fee and {$2100.00} for Sales Tax and both pay to the order of XXXX County Tax Commissioner. Neither of these checks were submitted by my parents because I found them in among my father 's papers. On XX/XX/XXXX my parents each received a reminder bill in the amount of {$550.00} for the XX/XX/XXXX truck payment. The letters were mailed to XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, GA. By this time, my mother had relocated to my home, in XXXX XXXX GA. XXXX shortly after suffering a XXXX. OnXX/XX/XXXX, another letter was sent requesting payment in the amount of {$570.00}. This included a late fee. OnXX/XX/XXXX, a letter was sent to my parents notifying them of a Notice of Our Plan to Sell Property. The letter notified an intent to sell the vehicle in a private sale sometime after XX/XX/XXXX. I would like to know how much did they sell the truck for? I would like to know why did they repossess the truck just after 2 missing payments? I would like to know why the letter identified amount owed was {$1100.00} plus {$27.00} late charges plus {$610.00} retaking and holding vehicle charges totaling {$1700.00}. Yet, on XX/XX/XXXX, a letter was sent to the XXXX, GA address " this is to acknowledge that your above referenced account with Ally has been settled and you are released from any and all obligations. '' The account balance on the letter was {$4100.00}. why? My parents were in no mental condition to sign a huge contract with these two businesses. My parents were over XXXX years old and were clearly taken advantage of. I think that their business practices needs to be examined and any funds should be returned to my father. To sum it up, XXXX XXXX XXXX purchased the truck from XXXX XXXX of XXXX, sold it to my parents, repossessed it after 2 months receiving a down payment and having to pay no taxes and tag fees, then Ally Bank sold it by the third month and for over $ 4K. Is this proper way to do business. Please help.

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

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

Consumer Complaint: In XX/XX/XXXX I cosigned for my partner on a vehicle and leased with Ally Financial ( XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, MI XXXX ( XXXX ) XXXX ) In XX/XX/XXXX My partner filed for Bankruptcy Chapter XXXX and a few items including the vehicle were added to be continously paid off every month under 1 fee. These fees are still being paid every month on time. In XX/XX/XXXX I conducted a credit check and found a negative account with Ally Financial and quickly disputed it with all 3 credit bureaus. I check my credit history and score again in XX/XX/XXXX and still found Ally fiinanical reporting non payment, a second dispute was submitted to the credit bureaus along with the bankruptcy information. 1 month later I was sent a letter basically stating that nothing could be done since the financial company continues to report non payment. At this point my credit score had suffered dramatically and continues to do so. I sent a letter to Ally Financial disputing the negative account and submitted the Chapter XXXX Bankrupcy forms that clearly shows the current payments still being made on the vehicle. I have yet heard anything from anyone. Today, XX/XX/XXXX, I check my credit and found the matter still has n't been resolved. I have found no resolution with the 3 Credit Beaureaus nor with Ally Financial. I do n't know what else I can do, Please Help
