Response to earlier question
I had sent a question that was answered by James Sparrow about an
unauthorized credit report run by Mint Auto of Orlando. The answer was that I
had apparently given my social security number to authorize the credit check.
This is my response to Mr Sparrow’s answer.
I didn’t give them my social security number and I definitely didn’t give my
wife’s name and social security number. They ran both of our credit reports.
The only thing I gave them was my name and address. I assume they used my
address and phone number. I always stressed that the sale would be cash
only with no financing. Needless to say I am disappointed in CarGurus for not
being aware of this type of thing happening and assuming that I am
responsible for Mint Auto’s fraudulent action. I think CarGurus should be
contacting Mint Auto about this situation. I still have not decided about legal
action as I still have all emails and texts to prove fraud. I would appreciate
hearing back from CarGurus as to what actions you might take.
I have emailed Mint about this situation and as I assumed have not heard
anything back from them.
