Complaint:
The nature of the wrong doing is that today, XXXX, is the THIRD time I walk up to a PNC ATM, make a deposit of {$280.00} or {$300.00} ; and the balance that I previously had is missing. PNC is STILL alleging it was removed for " bank fee ; '' But that is a complete LIE! Someone is STEALING my {$1.00} etc. Today it was XXXX dollars STOLEN, and they want to say " MONTHLY FEE. '' I opened my account XXXX of XXXX off of XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX, FL. I was informed there are NO Monthly fees if you deposit at least {$500.00}. If you deposit LESS than that amount, there is a {$5.00} monthly fees. Look at my attachments, do you see {$5.00}? NO! You see made up figures. From XXXX of XXXX through XXXX of XXXX, I never got a fee. Then out of a sudden, I was still making the correct amount of deposits, and PNC was billing me {$5.00}. I filed a complaint. Now I get billed bogus figures. All I know is that PNC NEEDS TO close ALL the other accounts with my name and STOP stealing from me! It's either {$5.00} or nothing. Please let me know why my {$2.00}, from today, was removed from my account between XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX   EST, vs first thing this morning when transaction fees were deducted from all the other PNC Customers? Fees do not get deducted in the middle of the day. I called myself today around XXXX XXXX, I had a {$2.00} balance ; Made a deposit of {$280.00} and the {$2.00} were missing ; Called it in, and they chose to label it, MONTHLY FEES. NONSENSE! It's a lie. Look at the ledger and have PNC pay me back for all the FALSE monthly fees. Thank You, XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ) XXXX

Complaint:
I first noticed in XXXX  that Equifax was reporting late payments on an account that i paid off fully in XXXX. I purchased in FULL my car that was being leased from XXXX in XXXX. Never missed any payments, but Equifax started reporting me as being late on an account that was closed out. I sent them a letter and they ignored the late payments. I sent XXXX a letter and they said they would tell Equifax this was a mistake. However they are still reporting me as being late today. How is this possible? It is really causing me to lose out obtaining credit and good interest rates. How can they knowingly keep making this mistake? There is no way my credit score should be hurting because Equifax is refusing to do their job. I am the victim here ..... Please help

Hi, Thank you for your attention to the following matter. 
My mortgage was sold to a new company ( below ). 
I was not informed of the change and I continued paying the original mortgage company that I have contracted and built my vacation home with. 
After finding out 30 days of the transaction took place, I did contact the mortgage company in the discussion, and I was assured that I have 60 days to transfer the funds and pay the first mortgage month. 
However, after 30 days I was reported to the credit bureau impacting my credit in, what I believe, unfairly. 
The account is current at this point. 
Thanks in advance XXXX XXXX XXXX # XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Mortgage Acct # XXXX Address XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, FL XXXX

XX/XX/19 I open the Bank of America mobile app. On XX/XX/19 there was a charge on my account for the sum of $XXXX and a $XXXX fee. I call Bank of America customer support to inquire about this charge. I learned that it was a fake check. The rep helps me freeze my account and cancel my current debit card. At this point I did not ask for an ETA. One week goes by call up to fraud department and they tell me that it can take up to 60 business days. Have not heard from them since then. I've read a few things online about people in the same predicament as I am and it has taken even longer for them. Other cases BofA just closed the case and the person never got their money back. Feeling something similar coming my way.

Issue: Problem with a purchase shown on your statement
Sub-issue: Credit card company isn't resolving a dispute about a purchase on your statement

Complaint:
On XX/XX/2023 my family arrived in XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX the late afternoon at XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. We had private transportation arranged by the resort from the airport. 
We were taken to a large room that was being used as the check-in area. My credit card was taken from me to be added to our reservation for incidental charges. The card was out of my possession for an extended period of time while we waited to be checked in. 
When we returned from our vacation on XX/XX/2023, I immediately checked my credit card account online. I discovered an unauthorized charge of {$1800.00} from a merchant named XXXX made on the day of our check-in, XX/XX/2023. Upon researching this merchant, it is listed as a taxi service. We did not use this service as we had our own private transportation from the airport through the resort. Logistically, the charge doesn't even make sense as we were not in the country long enough to have a taxi charge of this amount from the airport. XXXX XXXX is only about XXXX minutes. Once we arrived at the resort and checked in, we never left the resort until we checked out on XX/XX/2023. 
I have made numerous phone calls over the past 6 months to XXXX. I have submitted documentation showing proof of our private transportation, proof of our arrival time into the XXXX XXXX, email addresses for our travel agent and staff at the resort to confirm all the information submitted. 
The credit card company stated that since this is a chip card, I approved the transaction. I did not approve it and the charge was made while the card was out of my possession at the resort. I have requested proof, that the transaction was approved, from the credit card company and it has not been provided. The credit card company said they were unable to contact the merchant and that I should do this. I tried several times using the information found online but there is never an answer to the phone number and no other contact information. This is a fraudulent charge from a fraudulent company. I was told, in writing, that I should not pay the disputed amount and that I would not be charged interest on the disputed amount but I have been charge interest for several months now. I have requested a supervisor/manager to call me to discuss the decision by the credit card company, to refuse to reverse the charge and interest. 
I have been promised 3 times that someone would call me in XXXX hours, then XXXX hours, then XXXX hours again. No one ever calls. I have had this case reopened 4 times now. 
I do not believe anyone is actually going to call me or listen to the facts.

The existence of a derogatory rating on my account is causing me significant concern. I am deeply worried about its potential impact on my credit. It has already resulted in the denial of a recent loan application and an increase in the interest rates on my existing credit accounts.
