On XX/XX/2020, I opened a checking account with PNC Bank, based on its location to the home I had relocated to a year-and-a-half ago, free checking without a minimum balance, and alert measures it has in place for individual accounts. I deposited {$500.00} in cash. I was then offered Overdraft Protection, which I know is an unsecured loan. When the banks representative asked me if I knew my credit score, I told her it was nearly 800. I completed the form, then left the  bank shortly thereafter. 

The rep called me later to say the loan department was requesting a form of identification and Social Security. She said I should bring them up and shed make copies to send them. I did as she requested, although since she had already taken my Drivers License, I found this suspicious. She later called to say I had been denied. She was afraid I would be upset, but I told her it wasnt a problem, since I had lived at my current address for less than two years and the Overdraft Protection was for {$1000.00}, as opposed to the {$250.00} I carry at my credit union. I had not yet closed that account because of the timing of my Social Security auto deposit. Later that evening, it occurred to me that I had recently had to notify a retailer that the statement they had sent me was addressed to a person whose name has plagued me for several years. We have the same first name, although spelled differently, different middle names, and last names, except for one of hers, beginning with the same letter. I was served with papers several years ago by XXXX XXXX XXXX for one of her debts. My attorney provided numerous forms of identification, birth certificate, marriage certificates, and divorce papers, along with photo ID to the prosecutor before the suit was dropped against me. 

Later that evening, I received an email through my secured PNC account that my loan had been denied based on my XXXX credit report. So, I checked my XXXX report, only to find the other persons name appearing on the reports cover page. My name, along with 13 variations of her name, a spouse I never had by that name, and five addresses not associated with me, and my Social Security number, along with two others, numerous creditors not belonging to me, along with an account in collections. The credit score was nowhere near accurate. 

All information on my XXXX and XXXX accounts are correct. After two disputes filed with XXXX, the information under my name is correct. I was told by an XXXX representative, laughingly, that the files have been merged. The first rep started correcting information to be disputed without even asking me what needed to be disputed, so the mistake was obviously made by XXXX. The remaining problem : If HER name, MY Social Security number, address, and phone number are queried in XXXX, her accounts come up. I have frozen my credit. 

I now have closed the PNC account based the turmoil created by XXXX, as well as a rep in their Loan Department telling me the Hard Inquiry, based on an inaccurate credit report, would only remain there a couple of months, then it will drop off, which is totally inaccurate and a great underestimate. I have also spent {$85.00} to mail certified/return receipt requested letters to all creditors on my account that belong to her.
