Company: PNC Bank N.A.
State: OK
Product: Mortgage
Sub-product: Conventional home mortgage
Issue: Incorrect information on your report
Sub-issue: Account information incorrect

Complaint:
Our mortgage is with PNC Mortgage. It was previously XXXX XXXX and since PNC took over we have had nothing but problems with PNC. We show a 30 and 60 day late payment for XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/2017. There were many things that occured that caused these to be late. First we thought we were set up for automatic payments online but their payment system did not work properly. When we were notified ( finally after 2 weeks ), we tried to make the payment online as a one-time payment. Again it looked like it went through from our end but it didn't work. After more than a week we found out it didn't go through again because of PNC 's faulty payment system. We decided to mail a check for the payment. After several days we got the payment back as underliverable. I noticed the statements they mailed us had a different address then the payment book. The payment book also had the wrong amount of it. Now we were having to play catch up because we had more than one payment that didn't make it. We thought the money had already come out of our account and we didn't check our bank statement. Once we found out that we were behind 2 payments we had to take a loan out on my husbands retirement. It took a while to come in but as soon as it did we got all caught up. This was the only time we have been late. We have disputed this with the credit bureau 's and with PNC and have gotten no where. While we should have checked our bank statement this should never have happened. Their online payment system is truly faulty and this is not our fault. In addition to the issue discribed above, their payment system doesn't even allow you to pay online if it is after the XXXX of the month. This makes it really hard to get them payments. We also believe that having more than one address ( statement address vs payment book ) is ridiculous and our payment should not have been sent back. We are trying to remortgage our house to include a balloon payment due mid XX/XX/XXXX that the previous owner of the house took out to assist us in the purchase of our home. These late payments are keeping us from doing this. We need to be able to remortgage to pay off the other loan. We have hit nothing but road blocks from PNC. We even contacted them by phone when their faulty payment system caused us to get behind and they refused to help us out.

Issue: Unexpected or other fees

Complaint:
COMPANY : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. 

On XX/XX/2019 our Business account XXXX was limited by Paypal after being a loyal customer for 10 years. The limitation meant that all funds were blocked. We could not send payments, withdraw or make any changes. We could only receive money. 

Paypal provided NO warning about this. They simply limited our account. When we logged in to see we noticed a warning with a request to provide them additional information about our company and the individual using this account. We promptly provided the information requested. 

The next day we received an email from their Compliance saying that some of the information could not be accepted. We reviewed this and found the correct documents and we then provided the correct information on Wednesday XX/XX/2019 after which their system said that we would be updated in 2-3 business days. Its been 9 days since we provided this information and we have not received any follow-up or any kind of help following numerous emails sent to XXXX and phone calls we made to Paypal support. 

When we call Paypal support they confirm they have the information but that they just tell us they can not do anything as it is only the Compliance dept that can do something, but the Compliance Dept does not take any phone calls! How can settle this? We have tried to-do this amicably and using all normal routes but we get no help from anyone. Its extremely frustrating. We get no replies to our emails and no follow-up from anyone. 

Our funds have been held hostage by Paypal for 12 days now. This is unacceptable.

I opened a PayPal account in 2017 to explore if the service would work for collecting rent from my tenant at that time. If I remember we may have even tried a test transfer of a dollar but I may be wrong. I have never used the account and want PayPal to close it. When I call to request it be close I am told I will have to send them a copy of the lease agreement with my tenant which has since expired and the tenant has moved. Of course, I would never share this information with PayPal. When I ask to speak to a XXXX  I am told that it will do no good and they usually disconnect the call. How can I get PayPal to close my account that I have never used?? Please help!

Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed
Sub-issue: Debt is not yours

Complaint:
To Whom It May Concern : Be advised this is not a refusal to pay, but a notice that your claim is disputed and validation is requested. Under the Fair Debt collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ), I have the right to request validation of the debt you say I owe you. I am requesting proof that I am indeed the party you are asking to pay this debt, and there is some contractual obligation that is binding on me to pay this debt. This is NOT a request for verification or proof of my mailing address, but a request for VALIDATION made pursuant to 15 USC 1692g Sec. 809 ( b ) of the FDCPA. I respectfully request that your offices provide me with competent evidence that I have any legal obligation to pay you. At this time I will also inform you that if your offices have or continue to report invalidated information to any of the three major credit bureaus ( XXXX, XXXX, XXXX XXXX ), this action might constitute fraud under both federal and state laws. Due to this fact, if any negative mark is found or continues to report on any of my credit reports by your company or the company you represent, I will not hesitate in bringing legal action against you and your client for the following : Violation of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act and Defamation of Character. I am sure your legal staff will agree that non-compliance with this request could put your company in serious legal trouble with the FTC and other state or federal agencies. If your offices are able to provide the proper documentation as requested in the following declaration, I will require 30 days to investigate this information and during such time all collection activity must cease and desist. Also, during this validation period, if any action is taken which could be considered detrimental to any of my credit reports, I will consult with legal counsel for suit. This includes any listing of any information to a credit-reporting repository that could be inaccurate or invalidated. If your offices fail to respond to this validation request within 30 days from the date of your receipt, all references to this account must be deleted and completely removed from my credit file and a copy of such deletion request shall be sent to me immediately.
