State: LA
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: Was not notified of investigation status or results

Complaint:
I would like to submit a complaint regarding Equifax. It has been well over 30 days and Equifax never investigated and did not send me results of the accounts and inaccurate information I disputed on my Equifax credit report. I mailed a written letter to dispute inaccurate and erroneous accounts and information being reported by Equifax on or about  XXXX / XXXX / 2016 . I disputed several inaccurate, erroneous and unknown accounts reporting on my Equifax credit report/file and requested an investigation by Equifax. The following information and accounts were disputed and investigation requested ;   XXXX   XXXX   XXXX   XXXX   XXXX   XXXX   XXXX   XXXX   XXXX   XXXX   XXXX   XXXX   XXXX   XXXX   XXXX   XXXX   XXXX   XXXX   XXXX   XXXX   XXXX   XXXX   XXXX   XXXX   XXXX   XXXX   XXXX   XXXX   XXXX   XXXX   XXXX  .       It is well settled, per the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act that credit reporting agencies/bureaus have  XXXX  to review and respond to consumer disputes, if this provision is not met in a timely manner, the credit reporting agency must delete the accounts and/information that was disputed by the consumer. Equifax has continued to report the aforementioned disputed accounts and/or information without responding to my disputes and request for investigation regarding the inaccurate and erroneous accounts and/or information. I have made Equifax aware that some of the accounts their company is reporting on my credit report have inaccurate and erroneous amounts owed and/or financed, open and close dates are incorrect, dates of delinquency are incorrect, a number of accounts are obsolete and time-barred and some of the accounts I am no longer liable for.

Sub-issue: Card company isn't resolving a dispute about a purchase or transfer

Complaint:
I have a charge for {$51.00} on my  AMEX  Serve Card that I attempted to dispute with card. I had previously attempted to reach merchant several times via email and phone. I was unsuccessful in reaching merchant. Due to extenuating medical circumstances and failed contact with merchant, on  X/XX/17    I reached out to  AMEX Serve Card  to dispute charges for items not received from the merchant. The Card company agent me informed that too much time had lapsed and that could not dispute my charges due to there system would not allow them. I requested the call to be escalated, nevertheless, the Card company agent continued to overlook my concerns. The agent  XXXX , identified herself as a Account Manager but could not provide me with a physical address to write my dispute regarding my claim. The agent told me there was nothing she could do because the computer system would not allow her. I again requested that my issue be escalated to a higher level. She claimed she was going to transfer me to another  manager  but then the call was disconnected in the so-called transfer process. This is not a line of credit, this my own money deposited on this card, and I 'm being denied opportunity to have issue addressed.

Sub-product: Installment loan
Issue: Problem when making payments

Complaint:
I got a loan via an online website with Spot loan back in I believe   XXXX  . I made my payments regularly until I changed jobs and I fell behind. I fell behind one payment and the company debited my account despite me reaching out and telling them I did n't have funds to cover. The debit was sent back because I had no overdraft on my account. They continued to debit my account several times. Eventually my bank closed my account because of it. I tried to talk to bank and tried to talk to  Spot loan. Eventually spot loan decided to start sending me nasty emails calling me a " thief '' and telling me " You s tole my money ''. Very odd from a business. I ceased contact after the emails became abusive and it was clear I was n't getting anywhere.     I recently got a call from someone who called themselves an attorney stating " I have a client who says you stopped payment on their loan and effectively stole their money, my job is to recover the loan - fees - my fees and costs ''. I explained all noted above and he stated he was n't taking the case. I now get calls up to 5 times a day from this person claiming to be an attorney. I am being threatened to be taken to jail, told I am to pay thousands back, they are interfering with my new job. Etc.     This company 's tactics were abusive from day one of a missed payment and have continued since. This is not professional, nor legal. I wish to request my rights in this be upheld.

Company: PNC Bank N.A.
State: MO
Product: Mortgage
Sub-product: Conventional fixed mortgage
Issue: Loan servicing, payments, escrow account

Complaint:
While client and husband were married, husband took out a mortgage loan in XXXX from National City Mortgage ( n/k/a PNC Bank ). The loan is evidenced by a Note signed by the husband and deed of trust signed by my client and her then husband on the home which they owned as tenants by the entirety. My client and her husband were divorced in XXXX XXXX. As part of the divorce decree, my client was awarded the home. But the divorce decree also requires her to assume the mortgage loan. My client has tried to find out the status of the loan but PNC will not talk with her even though she has sent them copies of the divorce decree and is now the sole owner of the property. She has been making mortgage payments since XXXX XXXX, XXXX but has no idea whether PNC has been applying her payments to the loan because PNC wo n't talk to her or send her bank statements. Recently, she heard from a third party that PNC has been returning all of her payments to her ex husband. She can not confirm whether this is true because PNC wo n't tell her anything about the loan and her ex husband wo n't tell her. She is reluctant to send in another monthly payment if PNC is simply going to send it to her ex husband. At the same time, she fears that if she does n't send the payment, PNC may declare a default. My client needs complete information about the application of her payments and a borrower response package so that she can apply for a contemporaneous loan assumption and modification.

Complaint:
I have received calls from multiple debt collection agencies, most recently " Viking Services '', on behalf of " XXXX '' for " XXXX ''. I have no accounts, nor have I ever had accounts with XXXX.

Issue: Cont'd attempts collect debt not owed
Sub-issue: Debt was paid

Complaint:
When I moved from a house to an apartment, I overlooked a bill from the house, and XXXX called me. I moved into my apartment in XXXX, yet paid the bill in XXXX of 2013, in two payments of {$180.00} to XXXX. All of a sudden, within the last year, I am getting hit on my credit for whatever this {$320.00} amount is from Enhanced Recovery XXXX, who say they are collecting from XXXX. I am still with XXXX, and have been for over 15 years. I have called XXXX and they said I do n't what this debt is from ERC, and told me I do n't owe them anything, nor have they reported anything to ERC. So, someone sold Enhanced Recovery XXXX a lie, or they are bogously reporting this to get $ $ $ from me. I have told them over and over through many, letters that I DO NOT OWE THIS AMOUNT!!! They have NOT provided the proper information proving that I owe this debt, because I guess they do n't think the rules apply to them, but they keep sending me canned letters, and have once again, brought my credit score down again, reporting it as a new debt. I would pay it, if I owed it, but I do not. Seriously rediculous and frustrating, and these people are crooked.
