customers of Tesla's home solar-energy system have filed a lawsuit claiming the company destroyed their credit by reporting loans they never asked for.
"This is not a loan," he said in the complaint, adding that he "chose this type of arrangement to ensure that the solar system would not reflect on his debt to income ratio, or report on his credit report as he manages these carefully."Lee said he unexpectedly discovered a 20-year loan totaling near $80,000 had appeared on his credit report in September.
Both customers said they tried to work with Tesla and Equifax to resolve the situation, but the credit agency's dispute letters to Tesla have been ignored. They're seeking punitive damages, as well as those for their pain and suffering, attorney fees, credit repudiation, and more.
