Business ProfileforKlick Lewis, Inc.

Klick Lewis had a promotion in August 2021 making it seem as if you could win 5,000. A young salesman test drove a car with us and asked about running my credit. I said, "No, not a hard pull, I want to buy a home and don't want my score to fall. " He replied and I quote, "No, this would only be a soft pull." We asked the price of car and he continually evaded the question. We were asked to sit & answer questions about our car. Again we asked him to tell us the amount of the car!!! He said he'd get the finance manager to speak us. That man comes out and says how much can you afford to pay a month? I gave him a number and he says I can only get the price to $450 a month. I said, "HOW MUCH IS THE CAR?" "36,500". I said, "I'm not in the market to buy that expensive of a car." Meanwhile, the first salesman calmly asked for my driver's license. I gave it to him thinking he needed a copy because I had test drove a car. Meanwhile, my husband looked up the car on ***** Blue book and it was listed as 22,000. We questioned the salesman about this but he had no answers. The finance guy came out again a says, "How about $400?" I said I was done, stood up and demanded my license. Continuing to get the hard sell, I walked to the finance manager's office and demanded my license and we left. Later that month I received the first of 15 letters from creditors stating that my credit had been pulled. I logged onto my credit report and saw 15 hard pulls. I never gave them permission for this! I demanded that they show me my signature giving my permission, I reported them to the Attorney General's Office and I requested they correct this with the three bureaus. They have not made this right and in fact blamed me in their response to the AG stating that I in my complaint admit that I gave them permission. I absolutely did the opposite by stating they only had permission for a soft pull. This small town business did not care about my dream of buying a house, only their bottom line.
