      Tidewater Finance Company is reporting inaccurate information on my credit report and I would like it to be removed. It is a violation of my rights to report inaccurate information. The inaccuracies have been disputed on more than five separate occasions. Tidewater Finance Company is reporting incorrect monthly balances, incorrect dates and they have continued to do so for the last five years.

      I am a natural person living on the land and I'm not belligerent. I have requested the accounting ledger and original contract from tidewater Finance since 2018. I have received no response . I have not had this debt validated. My rights have been violated on the **** Act and my privacy rights have been violated because they are reporting inaccurate information on my consumer report. I also never received a notice on the right to rescind.

      Business Response /* (1000, 5, 2022/08/29) */ Tidewater Finance Company's records do not show any consumer with the information provided. The attachment for this complaint references ***** **** **** which is not connected to Tidewater Finance Company. From a search of the internet the website for ***** *** **** is ***************** and their customer service phone number is XXX-XXX-XXXX. Consumer Response /* (3000, 7, 2022/08/30) */ (The consumer indicated he/she DID NOT accept the response from the business.) I want this company to not contact me again. Also if my name is appearing on my credit report coming from them and they have no record of me being connected with their company they need to take it off of my credit report because that is what it shows. I want them to correct their misinformation from my credit report. Business Response /* (4000, 9, 2022/09/06) */ See attached. Consumer Response /* (4200, 11, 2022/09/08) */ (The consumer indicated he/she DID NOT accept the response from the business.) According to your letter to me from the *** I have until September 15th 2022 to submit an answer and according to the answer from Tidewater they said they would send correspondence to me in October. How can I supply an answer to their correspondence if their answer comes after ****** time limit. Business Response /* (1000, 20, 2022/10/25) */ ***Document Attached*** See attached Tidewater response to **** *****.

      Tidewater Finance Company made a settlement with me concerning my account. The settlement amount was paid in full last year 2021. I have asked several times for a written letter to be sent to my address on ****** Drive. Later during 2022 I asked for the letter to be sent to a PO BOX because someone had tampered with my mailbox at my petsonal street address. However, when I talk to a team member for my letter they keep telling lies, misleading answers,and poor customer service. I initially had spoken with ** ********* about my settlement letter after I paid the settlement off and i was told by her that she would send the letter in the mail at ****** Drive. Recently I called headquarters this week again, asking for the written letter of satisfaction with this account and told they wluld check into it. What is there to check into when you have the money and the amount paid in full for the settlement amount. Tidewater Finance Company is not a company that take accountability for their poor communication, customer service, misleading, they lie, they dont do their part and they have not updated my credit history with the 3 insritutions- ********* *********** etc. I am demanding my letter. I am demanding an apology! I am demanding for Tidewater to change my credit history since last year with the 3 private institutions. And I should be compensated for their lack unprofessionalism and disatisfaction.
