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

In XXXX of 2017 a creditor by the name of XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX appeared On my credit report. I disputed the account immediately with the credit burea as well as the company along with CFPB. CFPB case # XXXX. The debt was removed from my credit and a cease and desist order was placed. In XXXX of 2017 I noticed that the same debt appeared back into my credit report without any notification from the credit bureau or the creditor. I am asking that this debt be removed as it is not valid and am requesting proof of debt with signature. Also the credit bureau did not properly notify me that this debt would be placed back into my report as required per the FCRA.
Complaint sub-issue: Was not notified of investigation status or results

There was a collection that was put on my credit report without proper notification per the FDCPA. I sent this information to the credit bureaus, XX/XX/2020, to investigate, requiring proof of the letter that was sent. The Bureaus just updated the account that was reporting and never sent a letter stating what their findings were. They updated the account balance and remarks on the 20th and I never received any letters from them. We are now pass the 30 day mark and i have yet to receive anything. Not only is the collection agency violating my rights by reporting the a collection without sending me a dunning letter, the bureaus are violating my rights by not completing the investigation that I requested and sending me a letter. There was one credit bureau that DELETED the account because the collection agency didn't follow the law, and that was XXXX. I want the account deleted from my reports.
Complaint sub-issue: Fraudulent loan

On XX/XX/2021 My account was placed in fraud status. This is due to the bank illegally obtaining my credit information and illegal down payment information. I was told by a representative that I can not make a payment on the is account unless its a certified check ie XXXX XXXX. My current independent bank is XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX funds are supposedly not execrable. My credit card used to pay for the car in full was excepted. Ms. XXXX is under Ally Autos Financial and in Charger of the account.
Complaint sub-issue: Card was charged for something you did not purchase with the card

I have submitted a previous complaint regarding this matter. Discover has continued to fail to uphold their end of their contract. Discover has ONLY 90 days to resolve a credit card dispute. It has been over 90 days and Discover still hasn't made a final ruling despite ruling in my favor. According to XXXX, " The card issuer must complete its investigation within two complete billing cycles of receiving the dispute, which generally means two months, and can not take more than 90 days. '' XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX How much longer must this dispute go on before a final resolution? It's passed 90 days. It's unfair for Discover to rule in my favor yet continue to drag this on way past 90 days. The dispute number is : XXXX THIS TRANSACTION WAS NEVER UNATHORIZED, THE MERCHANT NEVER REPLIED WITHIN 90 DAYS.

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

This is XXXX XXXX, who is submitting this CFPB complaint myself, and to inform you that there is no third party involved in the process. My request for the correction and removal of the erroneous information about my accounts have been diligently neglected by Equifax. Despite sending them the last request, dated XX/XX/XXXX, for the said request, I have not received any response up to this date. Besides, the inaccurate information about my accounts is still on my reports. Therefore, Equifax has not complied with the Fair Credit Reporting Act, 15 USC Sections 1681i within the time permitted by law and continued reporting as unverified information which now, given all my attempts to address it directly with the creditor, as willful negligence and non-compliance with federal statutes. Below are the accounts that are still reporting on my reports : TENNESSEE XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX Balance {$6800.00} - Collection TENNESSEE XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX Balance {$810.00} - Collection CXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  XX/XX/XXXX Balance {$13000.00} - Chargeoff
Complaint sub-issue: Confusing or misleading advertising about the credit card

Dear CFPB : Previous complaint : XXXX XXXX XXXX is lying to CFPB. This IS NOT RESOLVED and I'm wondering if CFPB is in bed with XXXX XXXX? 


CFPB closed this complaint and XXXX XXXX has not done what they promised. In fact, I just learned that they again submitted the fraudulent account they created to collections. As stated in complaint XXXX, Macy 's tricked me into opening a second XXXX XXXX account. I had a XXXX XXXX account for many, many years. They pretended to need to update information so that I could get a coupon for immediate use at the checkout desk. What they really did was open a second XXXX XXXX account. They then sent this secondary account to collection which DECIMATED MY ALMOST PERFECT CREDIT RATING. After promising to remove the incorrect information from the credit bureaus, they have now AGAIN SUBMITTED TO COLLECTIONS THIS SECONDARY ACCOUNT THEY FRAUDULENTLY OPENED. These people are criminals.

A certified debt validation letter was sent on XX/XX/XXXX requesting validation of debt information. I received only 3 letters for three out of eight accounts which are listed as follows : Act # XXXX {$890.00}, Act # XXXX {$25.00} and Act # XXXX {$34.00}. In these letters, it contained my private medical records/information that is a direct violation of HIPPA privacy regulations. I never signed a HIPPA form authorizing them to have access to this information. In addition, the remaining accounts were not validated after two attempts to ensure this was indeed my debt. 
Post previous complaint, I received a letter from USBC on XX/XX/XXXX noting that the Acc # XXXX XXXX had been requested for removal from my 3 credit bureaus in which it has been removed. However once again, they sent me HIPPA violating information ( attached letters ) for the accounts listed as follows : Act # XXXX {$510.00}, Act # XXXX {$10.00}, Act # XXXX {$40.00}. In addition, the accounts listed as Act # XXXX {$34.00}, Act # XXXX {$25.00}, Act # XXXX {$15.00} have yet to be verified. As such, I would need them to delete all information of these balances from their collection agency, remove any further action of reporting to the 3 credit bureaus, and cease all contact for the above noted accounts.

Complaint sub-issue: Problem with paying off the loan

This is a complaint against PNC Bank for their abuse of authority, delayed handling of the transaction to the customer 's detriment, and poor communication regarding a consumer/vehicle loan. I believe PNC Bank abused their authority by REJECTING a loan payoff check submitted to them from the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX who purchased the vehicle from me. PNC returned the payoff check ( {$39000.00} ) to the XXXX XXXX two separate times without just cause, without explanation, WITHOUT INITIATING ANY REASONABLE REMEDIES, and without informing the customer. The vehicle was sold on XX/XX/2021. The XXXX XXXX contacted PNC for a payoff on XX/XX/2021. The dealership mailed the payoff check to PNC which they received on XX/XX/2021. We learned later that the payoff amount was apparently short by {$270.00} to close out the loan. Instead of accepting the initial check from XXXX and requesting the remaining balance due ( probably for Per Diem or Late Fees ) from XXXX or from me, they returned the check!!! I wasn't even made aware. I learned about this only after I went to PNC on XX/XX/2021 to talk to XXXX XXXX at the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX. There was back and forth on the phone between XXXX XXXX, PNC Loan Service Center, and me on, in short, whose fault it was on the incorrect amount of the payoff? Was it PNC 's fault or was it the Dealership 's fault on the correct amount of the payoff? I was charged daily interest, per diem, late fees, and possibly negative credit reporting from XX/XX/2021 to XX/XX/2021. Was this the customer 's fault? I also want to report two PNC employees who were not helpful during this process. One is XXXX XXXX from PNC Bank Retail Support who initially reached out by email on XX/XX/2021 from my consumer complaint, however she did not follow up after that. She promised to " research '' the phone records between PNC Bank and XXXX XXXX XXXX to resolve whose fault it was on the payoff amount, but I received no follow up on the results. She did not return my phone calls or reply to any of my email messages or texts. She went silent. The other PNC employee is XXXX ( don't have last name ) who repeatedly called me to harass me about making the monthly payments even after I informed him that the vehicle was sold and we are working on the payoff. Through some misery and several hassles, PNC Bank finally accepted a new payoff amount of {$39000.00} as of XX/XX/2021.

Complaint sub-issue: Credit card company isn't resolving a dispute about a purchase on your statement

I am reaching out to you regarding a theft of a credit card and multiple thousands of dollars of fraudulent charges that were made due to that theft. InXX/XX/XXXX I had to terminate my assistants employment due to finding her stealing from me on my security cameras, come to find out one of the items that was stolen from me was my AT & T Universal Citibank Credit Card along with my XXXX XXXX and XXXX cards. For over a year and a half I have been attempting to get the fraudulent charges along with interest accrued reversed, as anyone can see with my spending history, that these charges were not made by me. Im highly disappointed and very frustrated with how Citibank has handled this as XXXX and XXXX immediately credited back the charges, realizing they were fraudulent. Citibank has passed me around most recently speaking with XXXX, XXXX and XXXX from their security department saying that the case is denied due to the fact I had authorized my assistant to use my card. When I did authorize her to us my card it was right after I had XXXX XXXX as well as XXXX XXXX resulting in a XX/XX/XXXXso I was unable to leave the house for my medication so at the time and only that time I did ask her to pick up my medicine. However, as I mentioned before when she was terminated she STOLE several credit cards and used them WITHOUT my permission causing these charges to be accrued. I was advised by XXXX in Citi Banks security department to contact Citibanks specialty team department as they take the time to truly research fraudulent charges. About 4 months ago I sent a written letter to them with all the documentation highlighting the charges and explaining my case and I have yet to hear back from anyone. Im anxious to get this account settled as the charges as well as the interest accrued has added up to roughly {$15000.00}. I have continued to make payments on the card as I did not want this situation to effect my credit score, after a year and a half of no answers I am hopeful you will be able to help me settle this. I am attaching the statements including fraudulent charges. I also have emailed XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX ( both CEOS of Citibank ) with no response so again Im hopeful you are able to help me.
Complaint sub-issue: Account information incorrect

I pay my bills, and other credit reporting accurately reflect, but Equifax is very subjective and does not explain why they keep hitting my account frequently. They are arbitrary and unfair and grading people. This is from a company that has been very loose with people stated that didnt even give them authority to keep data on them.

Complaint sub-issue: Reinserted previously deleted info

On XXXX XXXX, XX/XX/2014 XXXX XXXX began reporting a debt in the amount of XXXX for XXXX XXXX XXXX. I disputed the information and XXXX nor XXXX XXXX XXXX was able to verify the information as belonging to me. I thought I was done with this but they began reporting the debt again at the end of last year. Today XXXX XXXX, I asked Equifax why I was not notified of the reinsertion and the representative told me that Equifax did not have to notify me of the reinsertion. That it was the XXXX XXXX responsibility to do that it would overwhelm Equifax if they had to notify someone every time information was reinserted. I told her about FCRA 611 specificallyIf any information that has been deleted from a consumer 's file pursuant to subparagraph ( A ) is reinserted in the file, the consumer reporting agency shall notify the consumer of the reinsertion in writing not later than 5 business days after the reinsertion or, if authorized by the consumer for that purpose, by any other means available to the agency. 
XXXX XXXX XXXX ADDITIONAL INFORMATION. -- As part of, or in addition to, the notice under clause ( XXXX ), a consumer reporting agency shall provide to a consumer in writing not later than 5 business days after the date of the reinsertion -- ( XXXX ) a statement that the disputed information has been reinserted ; XXXX XXXX ) the business name and address of any furnisher of information contacted and the telephone number of such furnisher, if reasonably available, or of any furnisher of information that contacted the consumer reporting agency, in connection with the reinsertion of such information ; and XXXX XXXX XXXX a notice that the consumer has the right to add a statement to the consumer 's file disputing the accuracy or completeness of the disputed information. 
( C ) PROCEDURES TO PREVENT REAPPEARANCE. -- A consumer reporting agency shall maintain reasonable procedures designed to prevent the reappearance in a consumer 's file, and in consumer reports on the consumer of information that is deleted pursuant to this paragraph ( other than information that is reinserted in accordance with subparagraph ( B ) ( XXXX ). 

The representative explained that she does n't know anything about the law and that she can give me the address to the Legal Department. I asked to speak with a supervisor and the supervisor said all I could do is re-dispute the information. The information should have never been reinserted anyway. These has allowed the creditor to phish and look for information as if it actually belonged to me and just add it in a different manner to report it on my credit report. I want this collection removed from credit report. I have had this to several times concerning debts and information with Equifax. The information was deleted and I should 've received notice from Equifax concerning the reinsertion. In addition to complaining about the reinsertions I 'm not receiving results of completed investigations. The system says it has been mailed to me but no results have been mailed to me and the representative said they would be sent today.
