Went to store to check what type of deal I could get. Ran credit check. Told them I would let them know and they went ahead and opened an account after I left. I didn’t sign or agree to anything. Now I’m in collections for an account I NEVER OPENED. Not a trustworthy establishment in any way. Avoid avoid avoid.
That’s terrible and illegal! I hope you reported this to the WA State Attorney General’s office? If not, please do- here’s the link: http://www.atg.wa.gov/file-complaint
If the person you were dealing with is commission based, that is probably why it happened. I used to see this a lot when I first started in the business but can’t swear that was the reps motivation this time. But yeah, I’d report it. Sorry this happened to you.
What did the store management say when you confronted them on this? I ask because I’ve had only positive experiences in the store, and I imagine they would want to make things right. I’m sorry this has happened to you. Getting credit/collections mistakes cleared up is one of the biggest headaches in the world.
