Sub-product: Personal line of credit
Issue: Problem when making payments

Complaint:
This is reference with closed complaint # XXXX which actually was not properly closed. In letter dated XX/XX/18 XXXX XXXX refused to wave subordination fee in amount of {$130.00}. I've asked couple times PNC customer service about it and was told that subordination fee only applies to refinancing with other lenders. At least twice I've asked to document it in notes and was told that it was done. I've never sign any document to pay the subordination fee. Also {$130.00} was deducted from my payment to principal without my consent. In same letter XXXX XXXX waved late fees in amount of {$350.00} which actually was never done. I've checked all statements from XX/XX/2018 and there is no credit in amount of {$350.00}. 
Three phone calls to XXXX XXXX were never returned. It looks like typical policies of PNC, most of phone calls to managers were never returned and PNC is simply violating the most basic rules.

Complaint:
I have filed multiple disputes with this agency. I have put them on notice multiple times that they are in violation of the privacy act. I need copies of the form SSA-89 with signature authorizing them to access the social security number and information. Not producing this form with authorized signature is aggrevated identity theft. The entity issued this tax identification number has only ONE NAME ( in proper form since your reporting for a living man individual and not a dead man or corporation ), ONE ADDRESS as listed on document attached. All other personal information is incorrect and needs to be removed at once. Your preventing the flow of commerce by incorrectly and causing harm by fraudulently reporting false information. There are multiple names and addresses attached to these fraudulent reports. This is causing much harm and injury to my person. I'm seeking remedy and removal of all items on report due to aggrevated identify theft and fraudulent reporting with no authorization to do so. Effective immediately
