Complaint:
My credit report contains a significant number of unauthorized requests, as well as some erroneous reporting of Information. I can tell that someone has stolen my identity. As a result, I filed a formal report to the FTC with File Number # XXXX. In accordance with the provisions of FCRA Section 605B ( 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2 ), I have included that report in this complaint. Please remove these items from my credit record as soon as possible to comply with the law ( i.e., 4 days ). You are reporting a DELETED account from other bureaus on my credit file. Per FCRA, reporting must be 100 % accurate. Please eliminate this damaging data immediately. Also, under the FCRA section 605b, you are required by law to remove any fraudulent accounts and information that are reporting on my Credit File, I have been disputing for the removal of these fraud accounts and yet you have done nothing! This will be my last attempt to file a CFPB Complaint requesting the removal of the fraudulent accounts and information from my Credit File before I hand over my documents to my attorney. If it is not too much to ask for, please remove the following accounts now! 
XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  Opened XXXX XXXX, 2021 Balance {$320.00} XXXX Inquiry Date XXXX.

Company: PNC Bank N.A.
State: SC
Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports
Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report
Sub-issue: Account status incorrect

Complaint:
I attached a list of transactions for review. I paid off my PNC Bank credit card balance in XXXX of XXXX. Two days after I paid it off I was charged a late fee. I spent weeks making calls trying to get this resolved because everyone was furloughed. As you can see the late fee was refunded on XX/XX/XXXX. You can also see that another late fee was charged on XX/XX/XXXX. Again weeks of phone calls, during the time another late fee was charged on XX/XX/XXXX I finally got a young man on the phone who told me he did not have the authority to remove late charges since one had been removed but he could refund a finance charge of XXXX to help offset the 2 late fees. You can clearly see the {$41.00} refunded on the XXXX statement. I then paid the remaining balance, which was money that I did not owe just to make the situation end. Moving on to XXXX when PNC reported a 30 day late to the credit bureaus for XXXX. I did not even have a payment due in XXXX. Again another week and weeks worth phone calls & written letters met with zero results through the months of XXXX XXXX. I have already disputed with the credit bureaus and PNC has verified the info as correct. Finally around XXXX I just gave up as I operate a multi unit restaurant group and just got too busy to keep turning in circles. Last week I presented this information to a PNC Bank manager and was referred to someone else who has apparently reached out to someone else but told me it was unlikely PNC will remove the late ding on my credit. I also attached what PNC has reported to XXXX as my payments and it also makes no sense with the statements I have provided. There is an obvious cycle of credits in XXXX & XXXX, then a payoff so how could I have been 30 days late in XXXX? It makes no sense. 

I have been building a house since XXXX and am slated to close on XX/XX/XXXX. This mistake on my credit report has cost me 60+ points and is now preventing me from having my mortgage approved, worst case scenario, best case is it will cost me thousands in interest and PMI fees. My Mortgage broker has requested a letter on letterhead stating that PNC acknowledges the mistake and will report it to the three credit bureaus. 

I have worked very hard to build my dream home and do not feel that it is just that a clerical error that could be easily fixed, if someone would just help me, should stand in the way of this. I am hoping we can get this resolved, I am on a very tight time crunch at this point and have exhausted all avenues.

Complaint:
Dear Credit Bureau Manager/Leader ; Listen, Im extremely upset, stressed, shocked that you havent legally verified these accounts that Ive screenshot below. Its impossible that you couldve legally verified or investigated these charge-off or collection accounts because it continues to report incomplete, unverifiable, misleading, and erroneous information into my credit report. Its my understanding reading the consumer laws under the provisions of FRCA, FDCPA, and FCBA, FCC, etc. 

For example, in order for these accounts to be reported on my credit report, it needs to adhere the consumer guidelines, and it needs to be 100 % accurate, 100 % verifiable and 100 % timely. Every factor of these accounts to be as accurate as possible. 

Unfortunately, when I called and reached out to these companies, its either got transferred or reporting questionable balance, inconsistent dates of last payment, dates of last reported, dates of last active, dates of last opened, inconsistent payment history, and inconsistent account status, and high credit balance should be higher than the actual balance. Therefore, these accounts are unverifiable and incomplete, and misleading. This is illegally causing these accounts to illegally re-aged and its in violations of FCRA. Please delete these accounts from my credit report immediately from my credit report and send me an updated credit report once it has been deleted. THANK YOU!

I am listing accounts below that have been reported inaccurately on my credit report. In compliance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act and as a gesture of respect to the Federal Trade Commission Committee on accuracy and completeness of credit information I am formally writing in today to dispute negative information appearing on my credit. This incorrect information is greatly hindering me from getting the credit score I deserve and hopefully, this letter will resolve all the issues on my credit. I demand to see Verifiable Proof ( an original Consumer ContracXXXX with my Signature on it ) of the accounts listed below. Your failure to positively verify these accounts has hurt my ability to obtain credit.

Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed
Sub-issue: Debt was result of identity theft

Complaint:
I am filing this report because I discovered that I've been an identity theft victim and informed all the required parties. I told the credit bureaus and informed the creditors I suspected they were fraudulently reporting on my credit report. After deliberation, the creditors were notified and are aware that the accounts they are currently reporting to the credit bureaus are fraudulent and do not belong to me. I contacted the collection companies and informed them that the version resulted from fraud and identity theft, and they needed to remove it from my credit report. They have ignored my request. At this stage, my credit is being harmed by these derogatory accounts and collections and must be removed from my credit report.

Complaint:
On or about Tuesday, XX/XX/XXXX, a guy claiming to be from a company called XXXX threatened legal action against me if I did not pay a past due amount. They threatened arrest, jail and garnishment of wages if I did not agree to immediately pay something. 
Out of fear, I paid {$50.00} immediately and agreed to {$150.00} payments for the next 4 weeks even though I can't really afford that at this time. They have my debit card numbers and will withdraw the money on certain dates. 
I am concerned about the legality of this. I don't like strangers with my card numbers ; I have no idea who these people are and if they're legit. I was supposed to receive a receipt by email for the {$50.00} paid already and never did. 
Until I can verify that they are legit, I will be canceling my cards..I do not want to lose funds to this potential scam.

I went out of the country in XX/XX/2018 and told my ex business partner to make the payment on my chase card. He didnt do it despite having sufficient funds that I provided him to do so. I paid the card as soon as I found out which was before the 30 day deadline. It still ended up showing on my report. I called chase and told them this was incorrect and that they would remove this 4 months ago which they still havent yet. In addition to this, chase has been reporting every payment that I made since this date late even though I have not had ANY late payments.

XXXX & Equifax way to go on not doing what the law requires. XXXX - How dare you insult me! What is it about my previous complaint that would make you think I am not intelligent enough to have written it when it's my truth!! I'll tell you what else is the truth. I went through the statements and found proof that not only am I making the monthly payments so the late history is inaccurate and CLEARLY not verified! But the balance is also wrong. The date of the last payment is wrong! So if you want to ignore me or make me jump through hoops maybe I should turn the FULL payment history, the multiple letters to the bureau and the creditor, the CFPB complaint, and the monthly statements over to a consumer attorney and to see if I have a lawsuit! I'm paying XXXX XXXX and they are NOT in compliance with FCRA reporting and your bureau did a half-assed job on looking into this. All I want is this corrected IMMEDIATELY!!
