Complaint:
Recently Experian has reported accounts to to my consumer report that doesn't belong to me and violates my privacy rights. I've mailed them a dispute letter asking them to investigate the accounts listed in the dispute letter. The accounts reporting doesn't belong to me nor have my consent to report. I have no knowledge of the creditors asking me to pay a debt. How can I owe a debt to someone if there was never any mutual agreement prior? I asked them to verify this debt any send me any documents with my authorization. I never gave Experian permission to even furnish a consumer profile of me nor did they have authorization to report these unverified accounts. I understand that there are consumer laws that protect me as a consumer and it is Experian duty to do what's fair and equitable for me. I also understand that in order for them to report any account it must be verifiable and accurate in which these accounts isn't. Any account on my consumer report that isn't mines or inaccurate must be removed from my consumer report. Pursuant 15 U.S. Code 1692c - Communication in connection with debt collection, I ask that these creditors cease all communication with me in which bay definition of " communication '' reporting these accounts is a form of communication and if you fail to do so then thats a violation on your behalf. Any violations reporting to my consumer report after your response you will be held liable for damages.

Sub-issue: Problem during payment process

Complaint:
I made a payment on my Elan credit card on XX/XX/XX/XX/XXXXin the amount of {$3500.00}. The disclosure statement stated that payments made after XXXX CT would be credited on the next business day. When I checked my credit card account it showed the payment being processed but my funds availability did not show the payment amount. When I called Elan they informed me since I used a different checking account to make the payment, they placed a seven day hold before the payment would be available for me to access the credit card funds available. My checking account bank shows the funds have left my account. Elan staff stated that they received the funds from my bank, but their system automatically placed a seven day hold on my funds. Elan staff acknowledged that the seven day hold on processing payments is not readily disclosed to the customers. Elan told me to contact my checking account bank and have them fax them a verification that the funds were paid to them.

Company: PNC Bank N.A.
State: PA
Product: Checking or savings account
Sub-product: Checking account
Issue: Managing an account
Sub-issue: Problem using a debit or ATM card

Complaint:
I was traveling in XXXX, XXXX when my phone was stolen from me. The person who stole my phone took it out of my hands while I was trying to call an XXXX on the side of the street. The person was riding a motor bike at the time, and escaped quickly, never getting off the bike during the entire episode. Unfortunately, the attack was sophisticated. My phone was open when it was taken out of my hands, and the attacker was able to gain access to my gmail and some financial accounts before I was able to suspend the phone line and erase it from my apple ID. The person who stole my phone successfully transferred {$1400.00} ( USD ) from my bank account to another account in an unauthorized transaction using XXXX from inside the PNC mobile banking app. 

I have disputed this transaction twice as an unauthorized electronic transfer. Both disputes were denied. When I called over the phone, they used the fact that I authenticated my account with a text message from my same phone number as evidence that I was using the same device. However, I have received a new device in a timeline which coincides with my account, for which I have insurance claims. I also have evidence showing that my XXXX account was hacked ( recovered ) right before the transfer of funds. I think these two facts alone are sufficient to draw serious doubt around PNC 's conclusion that I authorized the transaction. Why would I recover my own XXXX account to send a zelle payment, and why would it coincide with me suspending service to my new phone and filing an insurance claim that it was stolen and getting a new one. 

The fact that I have a new device is plain and easy to prove. It has the same number because they installed an electronic sim card remotely on my new device with the same number. Having the same number is not sufficient to prove that I was still in control of the same device. 

In the mail I was sent which explains the evidence used to reach the conclusion, two points are stated : " Evidence that the device reported lost or stolen continued to access the account after the login information was changed. '' " Login information confirms authorized user accessed the account. '' Both of these are inconsistent with my account and the electronic evidence I have regarding reporting the phone stolen, filing an insurance claim, and my XXXX account and other electronic accounts being hacked. 

I think it is clear that PNC is intentionally trying obfuscate the fact that they conducted a biased investigation so that they would not have to return the funds to me as is required by the Electronic Fund Transfer Act. They have been exceedingly unhelpful both in allowing me to submit additional information ( which I went to my local branch and pleaded with them to let me do when I filed the second dispute ) and in terms of being transparent about how they reached their conclusion.

Complaint:
Since 2017 Experian began to constantly send annoying emails. Especially in the last two years Experian sent pushing emails on a daily basis to buy services from them or through them. That had never happened before. My understanding was that it was an agency that collects financial history background and provides credit reports, but not a sales company. Now I feel Experien intentionally and actively trying to put me down to destroy. I refused to use credit cards after struggling with power abuse and tricks from credit card companies like discover, chase, santander. I took a vacation from credit card companies and my refusal to use credit cards was turned against me. 
Two XXXX accounts that were closed more than 9 and 10 years ago for sure, were reactivated by Experian possibly in coordination with XXXX. Not sure who was first to initiate that. Intentional, knowledgeable and willful abuse began to claim both old accounts as current debts. Whatever was removed from my account years ago, appeared on my account back right away when I was misled to file a bankruptcy XXXX against predatory lending by XXXX. It was an attempt to file for XXXX XXXX  only. The bankruptcy case never was established, never was paid for and the hearing never was scheduled. It was withdrawn, dismissed. Experian refused to remove that attempt for bankruptcy and continue to state that it will be on my record for seven years. It feels like Experian spying on me to make my life miserable.

Complaint:
I applied and was approved fro the GM XXXX Credit Card. I set up my account online and received an error message that says " there is a problem with your virtual Card and we need to speak with you. Please call XXXX. '' I have called multiple times and every time they have said there is a technical issue and they will escalate the issue and someone will call me within 48 hours. After a few days I call back and am told the same thing. This has been going on for weeks. 

I last called on XX/XX/2022 at XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX. The rep texted a six digit code to my phone from short-code : XXXX and had me read back the code, which I did. He said that confirms it is a technical issue at their end. I got the code and therefore my phone works as it should. 

I realize that Goldman Sachs GM Card has a reputation for horrid customer service, but how do they expect to stay in business if they can't fix a technical issue at their end?
