Complaint sub-issue: Overdrafts and overdraft fees

In the past, I was told that overdraft fees would be waived if I was unemployed due to COVID-19, which I currently still am. I received several {$38.00} overdraft fees on my primary checking account on XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX ( XXXX ), XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX ( XXXX ), XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX. I also received one {$28.00} fee on XX/XX/XXXX. After asking that these be waived, as was previously the case, the agent stated that COVID-19 related refunds were no longer being honoured but I did not realise this, and one of the above overdrafts were refunded.
Complaint sub-issue: Debt is not yours

" NEW ISSUE '' Marking complaint as a duplicate is a crime, there are active police reports attached to this complaint, I have spoke already to the CFPB OMBUDSMAN in regards to this collection agency. XXXX XXXX needs to be fined by the CFPB for all their willful violations. There is overwhelming complaints on the XXXX  and XXXX search reviews about this debt collector and judgements awarded against them as well after thorough research on them. This complaint will be the last before a formal complaint is filed in Third District court in XXXX XXXX for willful violations of not being incompliance of the law. Additionally Detective XXXX from the XXXX testimony will be provided to the courts as well if necessary. 

They have failed to provide their registered agent as this is needed to have a constable to serve them paperwork. They have failed to honor police reports XXXX XXXX, XXXX. They have marked numerous complaints as duplicates and continue to verify this debt anyways willfully. The other debt collector XXXX received notice from XXXX to pursue this debt. But immediately ceased all debt collection once they received these same documents. XXXX XXXX has ignored all police reports and ID FTC reports and continued to break the law anyways.
Complaint sub-issue: Public record

I have a public record judgement on my Equifax report. It was paid and should be removed. The other XXXX bureaus have already removed it.
Complaint sub-issue: Trouble with how payments are being handled

My Federal student loans qualify for forgiveness under XXXX as of XX/XX/XXXX. I have letters from FedLoan servicing even stating this, from XX/XX/XXXX, when I had previously certified my employment. In XX/XX/XXXX, I submitted my employment certification to have the XXXX qualifying payments that have been made, counted. After 2 months of waiting for a response and contacting FedLoan Servicing multiple times to get an update ( to which they never responded ) I received notification that my payments had been re-tallied. Unfortunately, they seem to have completely disregarded my most recent employment certification, claiming I am still 2 qualifying payments short and counting every payment since XX/XX/XXXX as " qualifying but uncertified '' payments. My most recent employment certification should cover all payments from XX/XX/XXXX- XX/XX/XXXX, yet this is not reflected. Their incompetence is delaying my ability to have my loans forgiven under XXXX. I have a previous complaint against FedLoan Servicing ( CFPB # XXXX ) where they had also failed to count my payments properly ( which took nearly a year and involvement from the CFPB and a Student Loan Ombudsman to finally correct ). Because XXXX is set to expire soon I need this resolved ASAP. Attached is my most recent employment certification covering XX/XX/XXXX- XX/XX/XXXX as well as the email from FedLoan Servicing from the last time my payments were corrected notifying me that I would qualify for forgiveness with XXXX payments in XXXX of XXXX.

Complaint sub-issue: Problem using a debit or ATM card

On or around XX/XX/2020 I called the PNC call center for assistance. Due to COVID-19 my flights from XXXX XXXX to XXXX were canceled. I contacted XXXX XXXX to apply for a refund since they cancelled the flights. They said they could but had to process the refund to my original form of payment. The debit card I used that is tied to my PNC Checking account wasnt active because I had closed it due to suspicious transactions. I contacted the PNC call center just to ask if they could put my old debit card on a status to  block debits but to allow credits just so I could get this refund. The person on the phone told me they couldnt but that they could dispute the transaction since I didnt receive the service from XXXX XXXX. Believing she knew the right thing, I followed her lead and she told me that I would be credited the money back shortly. Now, she did read a statement about provisional credit but made it seem like it was just something she had to read. I received a letter in the mail that said I had to sign it in order to process the credit that the PNC employee told me Id get. I signed it and sent it back. Within a few days, I received my credit. Yesterday I was stunned to see that my account was negative {$1400.00}. I couldnt figure out why until I put 2 and 2 together. I travel for work so I received no notification that this money was being reversed and had happily continued spending as such. I dont even know if the bank sent any notification as I wont be able to check my mail until the weekend. I contacted XXXX XXXX and now they are just flat out refusing to issue me a refund, my account is negative with PNC during a pandemic and on top of it, PNC is charging OD fees of {$36.00} each for transactions that had been approved and were pending before they reversed my credit. I am sure that Im the days to come I will receive even more OD fees which will put me even more in the hole and unable to pull myself out.

Complaint sub-issue: Problem using a debit or ATM card

I had my Comerica debit card stolen and unauthorized transactions showed up on my account. I opened a dispute with Comerica. They provided provisional credit for {$3000.00}. Well, I received a letter from them today that my claim has been denied. Their reason? Because the Authentic Chip-Read Card and PIN were used in the transactions. No, kidding??? You mean the thief that stole my debit card also stole the chip inside the debit card? Wow! Now, I have no idea how they got my PIN number. My guess is that they saw me punch it in. Regardless of how they got it, they got it. I explained all of this when I opened the dispute claim and they were happy to investigate only to come back and deny the claim based on the exact same reasons I filed the claim in the first place. Their other reason for denying my claim is that there were no failed PIN attempts. Someone please explain to me what that has to do with anything! So their whole investigation concluded that my debit card was used so were just going to assume it was you.

Equifax and XXXX  are reporting incorrectly that I am ( 120 ) days past due on the XXXX XXXX partial account number XXXX. ( Please see page attached from my credit report. ) This account reports a {$0.00} balance and {$0.00} past due and this incorrect reporting is harming my credit score.

Complaint sub-issue: Information is missing that should be on the report

This is the third complaint Ive submitted against Equifax. They continue to incorrectly report my credit. I have had my XXXX XXXX credit card for over 6 months now and they still wont include it in my report and thus my credit score has remained inaccurately low. I have also had an XXXX XXXX card for over 4 months that they have not included on my report. I understand that it may take a little time for the cards to show up, but 6 months is ridiculous and it is criminal that they are not including it and thus keeping my score artificially low. Criminal! My credit score affects every aspect of my life and equifax and the other agencies are ruining it, without merit! I have also had a discover credit card and XXXX XXXX savor for over 2 months. Not surprisingly those have not been reported as well. Please fix this companys ineptness at reporting my credit score accurately. Thank you.

Complaint sub-issue: Investigation took more than 30 days

According to 15usc 1611 XXXX XXXX and Equifax is criminally committed. They are amiably committed for twofold the proportion of the cash charge according to 15 usc 1640.

Aslo, apologize. 

An alleged commitment being equipped on your " credit '' report is an encroachment of 15 usc 16922b. ( 2 ) it is similarly publicizing to certain portion. Which is unlawful. 

I'm mentioning that you dispense with these Transactions from my report immediately as they are an encroachment of my advantages as an administratively ensured buyer under title 15 area 41. Concerning the records recorded under as a client I'm mentioning a crossing out of these records.

This complaint relates to my complaint # XXXX. 

As of today, XX/XX/2018, Bank of the West still has not returned my personal check to me. To recap, Bank of the West refused to cash a check I deposited in the ATM that was made out to my minor child and properly endorsed by me her parent. Then, Bank of the West lost the check. 

They claimed to have mailed a " legal tender '' check to me - whatever that means. Allegedly, a copy of my check. But I have not received it. They claim to have sent this " legal tender '' check to me on XX/XX/2018, but here it is XX/XX/2018 and I still have not received it.
