Complaint sub-issue: Their investigation did not fix an error on your report

REF. XXXX  Card Number XXXX Dear Sir or Madam : In early XX/XX/XXXX, I reached out to XXXX XXXX XXXX by phone to address some mistakes/concerns in my credit report. 

The report showed 3 late payments : XX/XX/2015 30 days XX/XX/2015 60 days XX/XX/2015 30 days The responsibility for these late payments are entirely on XXXX XXXX XXXX. 

At that time, I paid my XXXX bill on line through their website. In XX/XX/2015 the XXXX website managed by XXXX XXXX XXXX locked me out and prevented me from paying my bill. I could login, see my bill but could take no action. 

I made constant and repeatedly frustrating attempts to speak to their customer service department and resolve the issues and pay my bill, all without success. 
It wasn't until a customer services rep called me to ask about payment that I was able to get the situation resolved, at this point the bill was 60 days late. 

The bill was immediately paid, I was driving at the time and pulled of the highway to deal with the call, the rep got my web account fixed AND we set up an automatic reoccurring minimum payment to prevent any future late payments. 

Unfortunately, the automatic reoccurring minimum payment only worked for 2 months and then failed. I received another call from a customer service rep after the XX/XX/2015 payment went late, which I was unaware of, after all it had worked for the previous 2 months. 

I immediately paid the outstanding bill, and the Customer service rep found the account notes and fixed automatic reoccurring minimum payment issue. There has not been a late payment since then.

Equifax 's comments '' *Equifax has reviewed the complaint and its records. *Equifax did not receive any additional communications from the consumer during the review of the complaint. *No follow up actions are required in further response to the complaint. " Equifax has been manually updating reports making them inaccurate, these Tradelines now reflect as not being paid - and closed. This is a trending issue, and as such -- I do not agree to resolving this dispute outside of this portal. These defects in the record are the result of EQ making changes, and not the source. 

ALL of these accounts are CLOSED and PAID, and at some point stored the correct designation. They were updated and innacurate. I DO NOT agree to have these positive Tradelines, deleted because EQ manipulated the data, it must fix it.

Complaint sub-issue: Having problems with customer service

I attend University of XXXX XXXX in XXXX XXXX, California. I have had accounts with Sallie Mae for a couple years, regarding my student loans. However, throughout the past semester I have been locked out of my account a minimum of XXXX times, requiring me to call customer care and unlock my account. Then I am put on hold for absurdly long time periods for a conversation with an agitated employee that lasts about 2 minutes. Last week I tried to call because I could n't make a payment, in one day I spent over 2 hours on hold with them and never got through. I even waited for 45 minutes the last time before I finally gave up. Because I do n't have time to sit on hold, I have been unable to make a payment as I am locked out of my account. Now they call me with a recorded voice at least XXXX a day, every single day and leave voicemails. I tried to call again this morning and was put on hold for 20 minutes before I had to go to class. It is extremely frustrating, and believe me, I would like to make a payment as badly as they would like me to make a payment.

Complaint sub-issue: Problem making or receiving payments

I'm a BBVA ( now PNC ) customer. My company ( about $ XXXX/yr ) was already at PNC so I thought this transition would acutally be helpful, having it all under 1 roof. I recieved information & instructions about the transistion and all looked good. I received a new ATM card that I was told to activate. Little did I know that my old ( BBVA ) card would be cancelled at that point. The new card didn't work citing 'chip malfunction ' in the store. I tried to go online and was ( as expected ) redirected to PNC. The old credentials didn't work as they said it would so I had n access to any of my accounts ( checking + savings ). Called customer service which went to a call center ( sounded like XXXX ) and was hung up on after 14 minutes listening to elevator music. Looked for a local branch to visit in person, found one nearby ( XXXX AZ ) which turned out to be a solution center, so I thought yay. The banker (? ) told me he would fix it. Got a new ATM card right there, checked it right away in the ATM there and seemed to work. Online access got fixed too but the phone App did not. Alas, at least I would access my account and use my card, after 2 weeks. He wrote my account number on his businsess card so I would modify all my bill pay, including my accountant for my paycheck. 
Also I noticed I got overdrafted because I had no access to my accounts ( saving had $ XXXX in ). 
WAs unable to link new ATM card to XXXX XXXX, said I need to call customer service. I gave up on that one. Quickly moved {$260.00} or so to undo the overdraft. Few days latwer I checked there was still {$0.00} overdraft. I couldn't fix this because the minimum transfer is {$0.00}. 
Noticed 1 day after payday that my paycheck wasn't there. Came to realize that the account number that the banker gave my was a completely different number from what I could see online. Fortunately paycheck bounced and didn't go to a strangers account. Had to move more $ out of savings to be able to pay bills on time. 
Went back to the XXXX XXXX ', got a cashiers check for my savings acount ( $ XXXX ) and deposited it at a new local bank, at least that worked, yay Fortunately I downloaded most bank statements ( from BBVA ) as PDFs ( except XXXX ) so at least I have most history, because that got lost too. 
I've work in XXXX and this is by far the most incompentent bank I've ever dealt with. Whatever I've written isn't embellished in any way.
