I believe this is a reprisal from another complaint I file with you concern PNC bank and was refunded only two payments taken from a closed account. complaint # XXXX on XX/XX/2018. Now I have to deal with this matter from PNC.

I received a two months late payment notice on a closed credit card account. I called two different individuals and I was told that XX/XX/XXXX interest need to be paid for advance payment. I had stop using that credit card and PNC bank had from XX/XX/XXXX to XX/XX/2018 when I paid in full to include that interest. How can this be when I called for a pay off amount and then called back to pay it off two months later, meaning of {$48.00} should have been applied. Now, I am concern about late fees for two months and reporting to the Credit Bureaus. I believe PNC wants approximately {$90.00} from me.

The following is current balance and payment information about your account.

They did not do this. Also, they have violated my rights even more In accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Everything has to be 100 % accurate on my credit report.

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

On XX/XX/2018 I received my credit report Report # XXXX  from Equifax after disputing several items on it, I also disputed the same accounts with XXXX Report # XXXX well the accounts were not listed with XXXX so I didnt have to dispute them with XXXX. The accounts I disputed with XXXX  were investigated and removed, Equifax say they verified the account and therefore would not remove them. I dont understand how one Credit Agency can remove the items and another one cant. Its my understanding that all credit reporting thru the 3 Bueruas the information is suppose to be accurate and correct. Because of the inaccuraties i would like to have Equifax remove the items in question.

While reporting these accounts, the reporting companies are violating my rights according to the Fair Credit Reporting Act. My federally protected rights to privacy and confidentiality have been violated by reporting agencies according to 15 U S Code 1681.My rights have also been violated by the lender because they never gave me the option to opt out of this information being reported. 15 U S Code 6802 clearly state that any financial institution that share information with third party affiliates are required to give the consumer an option to opt out of their information being reported. That option was never giving to me. 15 U S Code also states I have a right to privacy, and going on to say that reporting agencies can not furnish reports without my consent. I have tried time after time to dispute these items but the continue to be reported by two consumer reporting agencies.

Complaint sub-issue: Attempted to collect wrong amount

I purchased a Washer {$790.00} Dryer {$790.00}, Hoses {$50.00}, Compact Air Conditioner {$410.00}, Headphones {$350.00} Steam Vacume {$240.00} Microwave {$170.00}, and installation {$110.00}. plus taxes total of {$3400.00} When I went into the store to purchase these items I had a {$2000.00} line of credit but as I was shopping and running out of credit the salesman said you have enough and approved me for another {$1000.00}. They had a promotion that week for 2 years no intrest. I was told that I would be getting the contract by e-mail that night or the next day. What I received about 2 weeks later was a payment book with the amount of {$190.00} to be payed monthly, I received no contract even though I called them after delivery of the microwave, washer dryer, which was delivered 2 days after purchase. around XX/XX/XXXX. My call to them was that I was being charged over {$6000.00} when I only had {$2000.00} credit! Also they delivered the wrong washer, Also they added an Insurance Plan which I did not authorize in the amount of {$3100.00} from XX/XX/XXXX to XX/XX/XXXX at {$44.00} monthly. The person I spoke to when I called the 1st time could not help me since she could not locate a contract #, or purchase order # or anything for that matter. So I called them back a week later and the answer was to go to the store that I purchased these things at and bring a homeowners insurance policy to show that I am covered in case something happens to the items. And then they would cancel the insurance that they charged me for. According to their rules I had 30 days to send back anything I did n't want. But as of today I have still not received a contract. Nor did I get the 2 years no interest this I got from the person I spoke to on the phone.. I told her that I am XXXX and do not have anyway of bringing these items back to the store and it stated on their website that they would pick up these things but with a 15 % restock fee which they wanted upfront. { not stated on their website }! So all together for a purchase of {$3400.00}. I got a total bill of over {$6000.00}, but no contract specifying the purchase prices, the type of financing, interest and term or any other terms and conditions, just a bill incorporating many extra insurance products for an amount exceeding my credit limit by an extraordinary amount and further no creditor would extend that much credit to someone who lives on {$800.00} a month social sercurity XXXX, the income would never support it! 2 or 3 days after I made the purchase, I contacted Conn 's and told them to pick up everything except for the microwave. But they have not come to pickup anything, and I can not bring them to the store. All of these things except for the microwave, washer and dryer and air conditioner have not been used and are still in the original boxes.

Complaint sub-issue: Other problem getting your report or credit score

Hello. 

As a conscientious consumer, I work very hard to to play within these unfavorable rules of credit reporting/scoring. I have NEVER missed/been late on a payment, CONSISTENTLY stay under 30 % utilization ( usually5-10 % ), but my score just blips upward month after month. XXXX, i use my credit in an event ( even staying well-below 30 % use ), my score goes down a significant ( unfair ) dive. 
If, the very next month, I PAY OFF the same amount used ( or more ), my score doesn't RECOVER by the same points. 

It is unfair, but ESPECIALLY in these HARD times of COVID that the " systems '' are so unfavorable to temporary usage. They should allow a XXXX period to see a pattern, before damaging our score. And ( at least ) should recover our scores with SAME aggressiveness by which it lowered it. 

It is very disheartening and oppressive to get kicked when down, but ignored when consistent ( trying ). Americans are suffering, and struggling. 
Who cares? ( seriously ).

Complaint sub-issue: Delay in processing application

Im already Citibank credit card customer and applied for another one Advantage to get miles reward. The approval process went fine I was approved and received the card at my home. When I tried to activate the card I was transferred to an agent and he said I needed to send my social security card in order to activate my card. For security reasons I insisted they already had my data and I could confirm the last 4 digits but I could not send my social by mail due the risk my SSN lands in wrong hands.

They said could not do anything ... but I had my credit score hit and the account reported but I can not use the card. 
I called a second time and explained the reasons I have other Citi card and others from Other banks and never had to mail anything and worst is the form says I would aurhorize a third party to access my data and does the verification. 
As far as I know this should be before they send me the card and report the as open account in all bureaus. 
I refuse to send an information they already have and get the risk my data exposed.

I called citi and was told the previous rep was misinformed and that I shouldnt have been allowed to deposit my refund check. I and my mom told him that we had offered, and were still offering to go to the bank together to clarify this alleged fraud. I was told it was too late the account would be closing in the next month and a few months later I would receive a check for the remaining balance.
