Complaint sub-issue: Debt is not yours

Received a letter from Hunter Warfield dated XX/XX/18, addressed to my work place not my home, confirming that they had received my claim of fraudulent ( which I was not aware that I had filed ). They requested that I provide them with certain information, cop of ID or valid driver 's license etc ). I called them and went through several departments. finally got connected with a support Dept. and the person wanted more information again, which I did not provided. I questioned the fact that the letter was sent to my place of business/work and all of a sudden got disconnected. I am afraid this company is fishing for information and uses fear tactics to get information. I don't know whether they are using it for ID theft or anything else.

Complaint sub-issue: Reporting company used your report improperly

I would like to see Congress take strong steps to protect consumers from data breaches such as the recent Equifax breach. These breaches are becoming common with costs borne by consumers and the offending companies bearing little responsibility. My family was affected by the recent Equifax date breach and it has been frustrating, difficult and expensive to freeze our credit. XXXX in particular views seems to view this incident as an opportunity to enrich themselves with difficult and costly procedures to freeze credit. When we need to unfreeze our credit we will be faced with additional fees. It is time for Congress to act on behalf of the American people.
Complaint sub-issue: Credit inquiries on your report that you don't recognize

It has been a battle going through this and I am writing to delete the following fraudulent information in my file. The items I need deleted are listed in the report. I am a victim of identity theft and did not make the charge nor accounts. I ask that the items be deleted to correct my credit report. I reported the theft of my identity to the Federal Trade Commission and I also have enclosed copies of the Federal Trade Commission 's Identity Theft Report. I offer my testimony herein that I have not authorized or given anyone access to my private and confidential records and certainly not the alleged information showing on my credit report. I therefore request that you immediately remove these information from my credit report with your firm pursuant of the FCRA Section 605b. The Credit Bureaus are required to remove the disputed accounts and information that resulted due to identity theft or else proove that the disputed items belong to me my providing proof of authentication such as documents bearing my signature.

Complaint sub-issue: Fee problem

I received a {$36.00} overdraft fee on XX/XX/18. On XX/XX/18, I had {$6.00} in my bank account. I had a deposit of {$10.00} sent via XXXX to my account that day. Which meant I would have had {$16.00}. I can provide an image of all items that were still in the pending status as of XX/XX/18. Except for one item - XXXX XXXX for {$15.00}. That was NOT posted or even in pending. I had the {$10.00} deposited specifically because I knew the {$15.00} would post the next day. The {$10.00} would have added enough to my account so I wouldn't go into the negative. I can also provide the receipt for the deposit which states " The money will be in your account TODAY. '' Unfortunately, I am not able to show how that account looked that day. From the next days ' image it is hard to understand that because of how the items actually posted. Regardless, if you would go based upon the screenshot of my account. It should have added {$10.00} to my balance before the pending items posted which means the computer system should have given me a balance of {$82.00}. With that balance, my account would not have gone into a negative balance. I went to the branch to try to have the {$36.00} overdraft fee reversed. However, they were not able to do that since they said the deposit was made after XXXX XXXX and it didn't post until XX/XX/18. I was not made aware of this by PNC. Specifically, I was informed of the exact opposite. The receipt I have says " The money will be in your account TODAY '' If at any point PNC made aware I would have gone to an ATM and put the money in that way. I should not be penalized for misleading information sent directly from PNC. I am asking you to help reverse the fee. Additionally, for them to correct their official misleading policies/information.

I also read something called the Fair Credit Reporting Act where it said by law, I had rights to challenge anything I am not sure is accurate. Some of the people reporting things on me, I have never heard of which made me write to you all. 
Are you familiar with something called 15 U.S.C. Sec. 1681i ( a )? I heard that if you cant provide proof, these accounts must be deleted. Well I want these accounts deleted if they are not 100 percent right and correct. So, could you please check on these and get back with me?

Regardless of the multiple written requests, the ITEMS listed below are still reporting on my credit report which is a violation of FCRA. The Bureaus failed to comply with Fair Credit Reporting Act, 15 USC sections 1681i within the time declared by law, they failed to properly investigate the matter by using a third party as their verification provider and have continued reporting the unconfirmed & unverified information. Given all my attempts to address it directly with 3 CREDIT BUREAUS they are willful negligent and non-complying with federal statutes & I need this matter handled immediately.
