Company: PNC Bank N.A.
State: GA
Product: Vehicle loan or lease
Sub-product: Loan
Issue: Managing the loan or lease
Sub-issue: Billing problem

Complaint:
On XX/XX/XXXX I made a partial payment on my auto loan of {$360.00}, through my loan company 's online payment portal, PNC. I received my confirmation confirming my payment of {$360.00}. On Wednesday XX/XX/XXXX, my husband noticed through our online banking account that PNC has drafted {$1000.00} out of our account. I called and spoke with a PNC representative ( XXXX XXXX, provided XXXX with my confirmation number and the amount in which I paid. XXXX confirmed I had paid {$360.00} and informed me that PNC had implemented a new online banking system and there were still glitches with this system. He requested an expedited refund, provided me with a case number, and informed me I should have my refund of {$70000.00} by Friday, XX/XX/XXXX. There was not a deposit on Friday XX/XX/XXXX so I called PNC, and they reassured me that refund request was expedited and I would receive my refund by Monday. Today, Tuesday XX/XX/XXXX, I called PNC because my refund still has not hit my account. The representative informed my request for a refund has been denied, because if they refunded me the full {$700.00}, it would cause my payment to be delinquent. In all reality, my payment is not delinquent until XXXX- they stole my money and I would like my money back. I paid {$360.00} on XX/XX/XXXX and they took {$1000.00} - this is stealing, and this has caused repercussions with my account. Just because they are a bank, they should not be able to get away with this. They should refund me my money and pay for damages this has caused. They charge me with late fees, and they should be charged with theft by taking. I had to place yet another claim today and I am still without my money. PNC has stolen my money and they needs to be made right.

Product: Debt collection
Sub-product: Auto debt
Issue: False statements or representation
Sub-issue: Attempted to collect wrong amount

Complaint:
I payed of an auto debt on XX/XX/XXXX. Before that XXXX XXXX XXXX  who was hired by BCG Equities LLC threatened to garnish my wages and even reached out to my employer on several occasions. I tried negotiating with XXXX and between them being rude and yelling at me it was not getting anywhere. Since I paid the debt off in XXXX I have been trying to retrieve the title to the XXXX XXXX XXXX. XXXX lXXXX XXXX would not give me any information on how to retrieve the title and by mid XXXX I had found out about BCG Equities and was able to find there contact number. Since XXXX I have called them every other week looking for my title and they kept telling me that they were processing it and should be soon at getting it. Yesterday I got a court document in the mail that released the lean from the car signed by the judge, but still no title. I called BCG Equities today and they said that is the best they could do and they did not know where the title was at and that I needed to go to the DMV to file for a lost title when I was not the one that lost it mind you. I explained to him that I would have to pay extra money for this and that I had already paid them for the tags, title, taxes, his response was that's the best I can do. They went in front of a judge trying to get money back on a car that they did not even have documents for, I do not understand how this is legal for them to do this to consumers.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: NY
Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports
Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem
Sub-issue: Investigation took more than 30 days

Complaint:
The payment history on the credit bureau report shows 30, 60, 90, 120, 150 days past due for XX/XX/XXXX through XX/XX/XXXX for my HELOC account. During that time, the account was on a CARES act COVID-19 Forbearance. In XX/XX/XXXX, the account was brought current by paying the entire forbearance. Under the rules of the COVID-19 forbearance, when the forbearance was repaid in XX/XX/XXXX, all of the previous months should reflect as paid on time. 

Under the CARES act, COVID-19 Forbearances must not be reported as past due as long as the account was current prior to the forbearance, which it was. A properly reported COVID-19 Forbearance must not have any negative impact to credit score. 

I have filed a dispute with XXXX, who in turn contacted my creditor. The dispute was closed with no change to the payment history on the account. The five months noted above remain showing past due on the credit report, which is incorrect. With the account brought current, they should reflect as paid on time. 

As a result of this reporting error, my credit score has dropped 100 points.

Product: Student loan

Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer
Sub-issue: Trouble with how payments are being handled

Complaint:
The servicer offers no options to make a payment via phone over the weekend! If you travel or work and the weekend is the time you have, the serviced should offer the automated payment option. When you call the XXXX # that is on the bill, they state that there is a automated system 24 hrs a day then it gives hours of operation ( m-f ) then it hangs up. The option that the servicer does offer is payment online but not all of us have internet capability! Also the online option does not offer payment by debit card. So not only does the borrower have to go find internet access, the are only given the option of paying by checking or savings acct # and routing # which is not normally info that someone carries around with them when they travel or away from home. If they wont over automated system for pay by phone 24 hrs as they advertise then they shouldnt be charging late fees for borrowers that dont have access to the internet and those who dont have the checking or savings # readily available

Complaint:
I am XXXX XXXX XXXX and I am submitting this complaint myself and there is no third party involve. My request for the correction and removable of the erroneous information about my accounts has been diligently neglected by Equifax. Despite sending them the last letter, dated XX/XX/2021, for the said request, I have not received any response up to this date. Besides, the inaccurate information about my accounts is still on my reports. Therefore, Equifax has not complied with the Fair Credit Reporting Act, 15 USC Sections 1681i within the time permitted by law and continued reporting as unverified information which now, given all my attempts to address it directly with the creditor, as willful negligence and non- compliance with federal statutes.

Company: LoanCare, LLC
State: DC
Product: Mortgage
Sub-product: Conventional home mortgage
Issue: Trouble during payment process

Complaint:
I purchased my home on XX/XX/2021 and was a 10 % down buyer. I've had to pay private mortgage insurance since my date of purchase as I was below the 20 % equity threshold. I called my servicer, LoanCare , LLC, in XXXX to ask for an appraisal of my property and found out this month that XXXX XXXX, who XXXX my lender, sold my loan to, refuses to lift my PMI until it's seasoned. XXXX responded that XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, issued on XX/XX/2021, state The minimum two-year seasoning requirement is waived if the Servicer determines the increased market value of the Mortgaged Premises since the Origination Date of the Mortgage is due to substantial improvements. However, on XXXX 's website, https : XXXX, there is a clear statement that ; Other things to keep in mind about the Homeowners Protection Act Loan investors, including Fannie Mae and XXXX XXXX XXXX often create their own PMI cancellation guidelines that may include PMI cancellation provisions beyond what the HPA provides . But these guidelines can not restrict the rights that the HPA provides to borrowers. For example, the HPA does not contain any requirements for a loans tenure before a borrower may request cancellation or be eligible for automatic PMI termination ( known as a seasoning requirement ). 

Nowhere in my closing documents that I signed did I agree to their guidelines. Under US Code, 12 USC 4902, my lender is violating the federal law, as I read it, by preventing me from eliminating my monthly mortgage insurance and is even refusing to consider an appraisal to prove my equity has reached over 20 %. Which I believe was my right until this heinous regulation was put in place in direct opposition to the law.

Complaint:
My husband and I applied for a loan for a single wide to put in our property for our daughter and grandson to live in from Vanderbilt mortgage. We were promptly denied because our credit score was not above XXXX. It is for both me and my husband. My credit score is XXXX pts higher than XXXX XXXX stated mine was. My daughter applied and cant get the full amount financed so I agreed to co-sign. The request was denied, not based on credit worthiness but XXXX XXXX wont allow me to continue to own another mobile home ( which doesnt have a mortgage or any type of lien against it ). This is an unreasonable request and property that could be used to secure the loan. She has decided she is NOT going to loan to us regardless of credit score or credit worthiness and made that fact abundantly clear in our conversation today. 

It should be noted that creditworthiness or ability to pay is not an issue nor is it being considered. We have an annual household income of close to $ XXXX and no mortgage. The amount we are attempting to borrow is approximately $ XXXX.
