      Answered
      I am a retired military veteran of 22 yrs of honorable service to this great country. On July 8, Mr. **** ****** of Merchants and Farmers bank pulled my credit report without my EXPLICITE written consent and after the fact sent me documents to sign. I was applying for a land loan in ******** LA. I believe Mr. ****** misled me from the beginning of the process. He did not provide me all the information or a plan to proceed in the application process. He rushed through the process. This violated my right as consumer under the **** and truth and lending act. He is the vice president and should have known better. I have attached an email by Mr. ****** stating he pulled my credit and then sent me the papers to sign. I have address the issue with Mr. ****** and he is unwilling to provide a resolution. All I wanted is for Mr ****** to sent back to 3 credit bureaus to remove the unauthorized inquiry.
