Business ProfileforPugmire Lincoln of Marietta, Inc.

In October 2022, I reached out to Pugmire Lincoln as I had interest in acquiring a used vehicle they were advertising on their website, I spoke with a sales rep and sales manager. I was specifically told by the sales manager after having submitted a credit application and having to take initiative to call them for an update as no one thought to quickly reach backout to me - that my credit was ran to ********** who he claimed said they could finance my purchase if I could provide a $10k down payment. I had initially shared with sales rep that I did not want to offer down payment. 1. After chatting with the sales manager, he shared he would connect with the finance manager as he stated the finance manager was having some sort of discrepancy and ran my application to other "banks". When I was finally able to connect with the finance manager, I was told by him that the income in the application was not reflecting correctly , essentially so with my information he chose to re-run the application to whom I believed would just be ***** but he did confirm having ran it to more than 4 creditors. This was done WITHOUT my consent! I also called ***** who CONFIRMED that they do not require or ever ask for a down payment so when I reached out in affidavit to the **** it went unrebutted. His legal team stated he disputed facts but the *** chose to not respond in writing under penalty of perjury. This proved to me that this company intentionally wants to harm me. They refused to answer WHERE the $10k down payment was going to be pocketed. Due to their agents, the multiple times my credit was ran by them lowered my credit score which has now been preventing me heavily from being approved for housing that I am immediately need for family. I offered options for remedy. The ***s legal team stated "After reviewing your email - my client has elected to not make a further response." UNACCEPTABLE! They are actively operating under deceptive practices and refuse to be held accountable!
