I have asked XXXX, Equifax and XXXX for proof that this XXXX XXXX account belongs on my credit file, with absolutely Blatant disregard, I have disputed this item several times and it comes back as verified, Updated, Contact the furnisher or Frivolous. 
I sent them a letter requesting paper work that led them to adding this to my file over 90 days ago with no response. 
They have blatantly disregarded my request i have noticed that XXXX Equifax and XXXX feel as if they are above the law. 
luckily I kept PDF copies of the 609 letter i sent to XXXX with absolutely no response. 
so my question is if I cant get propper validation from XXXX and the 3 credit bureaus can not show me proper validation how is this still on my credit file? 
I would really aprerciate the CFPB 's help with this matter.

Company: FIRST FINANCIAL SERVICES, INC.

Product: Debt collection
Sub-product: Credit card debt
Issue: Took or threatened to take negative or legal action
Sub-issue: Threatened to sue you for very old debt

Complaint:
I previously submitted a complaint against XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX in XX/XX/XXXX for continually harassing me about a debt that they say I owe. The collect attempts began in XX/XX/XXXX when they sent me a pocket summons stating that they were going to sue me for a bill through 1st Financial Bank in which the last date of payment was XX/XX/XXXX. I also received a demand for payment the same month. I responded by certified mail XX/XX/XXXX requesting validation of the debt, my ownership of the debt, and their ownership or ability to collect on the debt and did not receive a response from the firm until XX/XX/XXXX, which was a copy of a statement from the credit card company 1st Financial Bank. In XX/XX/XXXX I received a second pocket summons stating that they were suing me. I responded to the summons and once again requested validation of the debt. In early XX/XX/XXXX they sent me copies of paperwork requesting information from me and discovery. At this point I submitted a complaint against the law firm and 1st Financial Bank with Consumer Finance. I explained that the debt they are attempting to collect on has not been verified or validated, and is also beyond the statute of limitations. The firm responded to the complaint. I then responded and sent a letter through certified mail asking for them to cease and desist and to stop harassing me. I never heard a response from them stating that they would stop contacting me since they do not have the legal right to do so. I received documentation yesterday, XX/XX/XXXX that they have filed against me with the court.

Issue : My mortgage company is not reporting my payment history to any of the big 3 agencies. 
Two years ago I contacted my mortgage company via US Post Office : Select Portfolio Services XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, UT XXXX and asked them to please report my credit history to the 3 credit reporting agencies. 
Never received any response. 

In XXXX of XXXX I sent letters ( via US Post Office ) to XXXX XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX. I included in each communication a copy of my most recent monthly Mortgage Statement. I explained that Select Portfolio Services has been the company receiving my mortgage payments for over 10 years and has not ever provided any agencies with my payment history. ( Which has been perfect the entire time. ) After waiting about 3 weeks, I received one response from one of the three companies. I have received no other responses since then. 

Last week, I checked my credit reports ( hoping to see something positive ) and confirmed that no action has been taken by any of the three companies. 

What I want : I want Select Portfolio Services to report my perfect payment history to XXXX XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX. 

Also : Since XXXX of XXXX, I have had a perfect payment history with my Utility Company. ( XXXX XXXX XXXX ). Is it possible to have this perfect payment history reflected in my credit reports as well? 

Thank you for your attention. 
Thank you

Company: PNC Bank N.A.
State: VA
Product: Checking or savings account
Sub-product: Checking account
Issue: Problem caused by your funds being low
Sub-issue: Overdrafts and overdraft fees

Complaint:
I open this checking account in XXXX with PNC. As I consider myself an informed consumer I was very aware about overdraft protection being a requirement that a consumer Optics 's in to that protection. When I opened this account I was very upfront and direct that I did not want any type of overdraft protection and that I would not be opting into that service. From what I perceived, in the past I was not being charge any overdraft fees. But recently my account did get overdrawn and PNC charged me an overdraft fee. Not only did they charge me an overdraft fee but they charged my account an additional XXXX dollars a day every day the account was overdrawn. As I was not aware that my account was sign up for the service I was under the impression all charges would be denied. just to give clarification these charges were not checks or ACH which I know are not covered under the overdraft opt out choice. These were direct debits. 

I called PNC and explained the situation and talked to a CSR on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX. I told the Car that I never sign up for OD protection. I was then told that originally the account was setup without OD protection but a few days later it was switched to what they call a protected account. They setup a virtual account and cover expenses from a savings. She stated this protected account does not require opt in or allow for opt out its automatically setup to draw from one another or you will get charged. I told the CSR that I understood but that is not what I sign up for and that I never opt in for any type of OD protection. For the account to change type or setup to change a few day later without my consent or acknowledgment was deceptive and unfair. I filed a formal complaint over the phone at that time.

Sub-product: Other debt
Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed
Sub-issue: Debt was paid

Complaint:
Summary of your complaint Complaint number : XXXX Date submitted to CFPB : XX/XX/XXXX Product : Debt collection Issue : False statements or representation See complaint referenced above. The same people for the same debt continues to post this debt to different credit bureaus ( XXXX and XXXX ) under different names, not honoring the agreement made in XXXX. This is harassment and I should be given the right to sue based off this type consumer harassment that is baseless, unwarranted, and extremely prejudicial to me due to me refusing to allow one of their agents to harass me by phone in XXXX. An agreement with a third party representing XXXX and any of its many names should be an agreement honored and I should not have to see any posting of a collection for XXXX XXXX XXXX course on any of my credit reports. I have provided all documentation in complaint number XXXX back in XXXX. Why is the current administration allowing citizens to be treated by corrupt businesses in such an inhumane manner? There is no reason why I should still be dealing with this 2 years later when I held up my end of the bargain. If they want to continue to post this as a collection item, paid or unpaid, I want every dime back that I paid into this agreement.
