Complaint sub-issue: Problem making or receiving payments

I am trying to link my bank account with XXXX and XXXX on XX/XX/20. Both use XXXX   and I have spoken with a PNC rep but they explained why they wont allow XXXX to link to my bank account. And suggested I reach out the the companies to have it linked because they said all they need is my number on file to alert me of suspicious activity. I spoke with both XXXX  and XXXX  and they said they cant do anything unless PNC gives me permission. Obviously PNC wont allow me to link my account. I just wish I had more autonomy over MY information.
Complaint sub-issue: Account status incorrect

This is XXXX XXXX XXXX, who is submitting this CFPB complaint myself, and to inform you that there is no third party involved in the process.

That means Equifax has NOT complied with the Fair Credit Reporting Act law and continued to report inaccurate information on my credit report. THE FOLLOWING ACCOUNTS ARE STILL FOUND AND NEED TO BE REMOVED COMPLETELY FROM MY CREDIT REPORT : XXXX  XXXX Balance : {$7100.00} XXXX XXXX XXXX Balance : {$890.00} XXXX XXXX XXXX Balance : {$1900.00} XXXX XXXX XXXX Balance : {$860.00} XXXX XXXX Balance : {$1000.00} XXXX ( Original Creditor : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  ) XXXX Balance : {$1200.00}

Complaint sub-issue: Debt is not yours

I checked it, and it was a collections agency Enhanced Recovery Company reporting a debt for XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX for XXXX  from XXXX. I have had a XXXX home phone and a XXXX cell phone for over XXXX years. In fact, I have never had XXXX XXXX XXXX. I tried disputing it through the credit reporting agency and got nowhere. I called the collections agency and they want a copy of my license, credit report, and SS #, which frankly I am not comfortable giving them under the circumstances.
Complaint sub-issue: Their investigation did not fix an error on your report

Between  XXXX   XXXX  and  XXXX  this collection has been taken off my report and placed back this is not the first time. I was able to screen shot it this time. I have not signed any contract with this company and I feel it should be removed from all my reports as it has and been put back on I feel that this is unfair to remove items and place them back
Complaint sub-issue: Problem with personal statement of dispute

XX/XX/XXXX - XXXX closed my account for being 60 days late on a payment. 

XX/XX/XXXX - XXXX changed companies handling their auto-payment They say they tried to contact me. However, I never received any postal mail or e-mail letting me know my auto-payment would stop. If they called, no voicemail was left. 

XX/XX/XXXX - I saw a 120-day late payment hit my credit report. I immediately contacted XXXX to find out what was happening ( I have e-mail correspondence ). I was told about the change in auto-payment companies and immediately set up auto-payment again and brought my account current. 


Here are some things to note. I have been on auto-payment since XXXX and have not charged the card since XXXX, perhaps in XXXX. For 5 years, I have been on auto-payment with this card without using it during that time, so I was not watching for the {$39.00} a-month payment. I did not see that it was no longer being paid and had no reason to believe it wasn't. This has destroyed my credit when I need it most, post-Hurricane Ian and I can not get the credit I need due to this. I feel that I have shown to pay on this account on time for years then to have the bank change the company they use I get severely punished.

Complaint sub-issue: Debt is not yours

I have made MULTIPLE attempts to contact ProCollect within this past year, almost every 30 days - as they are incorrectly reporting a balance owed on my credit report. Ive sent disputes and requested debt validations via certified mail. I have contacted the apartments they CLAIM I owe and provided them with the documentation showing proof that I owe NO BALANCE. Additionally, the amount they claim I owe has been changed which further shows that this is inaccurate and untrue. I even had the Manager at the apartment complex email them the document directly. Ive requested debt validations ; Ive requested for the account to be removed COMPLETELY as it is hindering me and 100 % inaccurate and have only been met with the rudest customer service I have ever received and nasty comments/conversations. This matter needs to be handled immediately. The account needs to be removed completely and a deletion letter needs to be sent to my email address.

My name is XXXX XXXX. I use Citi credit card. In XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, all my statements are correct. In XXXX XXXX, the Statement said I have re-owned the company {$380.00}. I have called the credit card company, and they said they have re-sent that amount of money twice. I said I only got the money which should belong to my CitiBank debit card, which is {$380.00}. The Citi credit card company said I should go to the CitiBank directly to check it out. I have gone to CitiBank for three times, and they said the money which I used to pay the credit card is not responsible to the CitiBank, and they said I should talk to the credit card company instead. The Citi credit card company said it is not their responsibility even if I have called them for 7-8 times. 
Right now I am confused, and nothing I could do but ask the FDIC to see whether you could help me.

Complaint sub-issue: Debt is not yours

I was shocked when I reviewed my credit report this week and I found multiple inaccuracies on my credit report from the 3 major credit bureaus from a collection company that I never have dealt with before. I've attempted several times to ratify the issue with the original creditors and credit bureaus and they still reporting inaccurate, unverifiable information. I have disputed this item with the credit reporting agency and they reported you confirmed the account as valid. I honestly do not believe to ever have any relationship with this collection agency or original creditor. Also there are several inaccuracies with this account the way it's reporting and that's a total violation of FCRA and FDCPA laws and regulations. In a good faith effort to resolve the matter amicably, I must demand proof of this debt, specifically the alleged contract or other instrument bearing my signature, as well as proof of your authority in this matter. Absent such proof, you must correct any erroneous reports of this past debt as mine. I am writing to request that you please provide the following information : 1. Please evidence your authorization under 15 USC 1692 ( e ) and 15 USC 1692 ( f ) in this alleged matter. 2. What is your authorization of law for your collection of information? 3. What is your authorization of law for your collection of this alleged debt? 4. Please evidence your authorization to do business or operate in this state. 5. Please evidence proof of the alleged debt, including the alleged contract or other instrument bearing my signature. 6. Please provide a complete account history, including any charges added for collection activity.

You have 30 days upon receipt of this letter to provide strict proof of contract. In the event you can not provide strict proof of contract, you must cease and desist any and all collection efforts and immediately remove any derogatory information reported to the consumer reporting agencies. In addition, you will need to provide me your agreement, in writing, that you are closing your file, ceasing collecting activity, and deleting all information related to this reference number from any and all credit reports youve furnished the information to. In the event you transfer this account to an attorney without providing proof of contract, and proving your claim, he/she will be immediate reported to the XXXX XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX XXXX for code of ethics violations.
