Complaint sub-issue: Problem getting your free annual credit report

My last credit report from all three agencies is dated XX/XX/XXXX. As usual, shortly after XX/XX/XXXX I send all required documentation that identify my identity to all three credit reporting agencies. I never receive a report. I understand we were at the beginning of the pandemic. I wonder : What happened to that mail piece with lots of identity data? 
How do I know that if I send my identity information again I'll get my reports? 

I am just a financially responsible individual that like to keep my credit database correct as is my responsibility. Credit agencies will add to our record anything that smell, look and might sound like belongs to us without any responsibility. Credit agencies only respond to financial institutions that pay and finance to some extent credit reporting. I understand and accept that fact. 

Please provide an answer to both questions at your earliest convenience.

Complaint sub-issue: Can't close your account

Hi, In XX/XX/2021, I opened a checking account with PNC bank in XXXX XXXX, FL. The address is XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX, FL XXXX. 

I closed the account a few days later. 

Today, I received a bank statement from the PNC savings account. I never opened the PNC savings account. The person who opened the account without my knowledge was the banker in XXXX XXXX, FL. He is also the branch manager.

I recall refusing to open a savings account, but the manager opened one anyway. He did not respect my decision. He does not think highly of women but bullies women into opening accounts that they do not need. The manager is a classic example of a bully and harasser. He is a bad example of customer service and a salesperson with a harassing and pushy attitude. He should not have opened a savings account against my will. 

I want the bank to close the savings account which PNC opened illegally. 

Thank you. 

XXXX XXXX

I am writing in regard to the charge off accounts on my credit report for my Discover card. On XXXX XXXX I agreed to pay the lender with the assurance that it will be removed off my credit report, a " pay for deletion ''. I have had a constant battle with lender honoring their part of the settlement. I am requesting that this account be removed. It has now been over 45 days since requesting lenders to delete this account, the request was delivered XX/XX/XXXX through USPS Certified Mail, with no response. The lender have responded to letters in the past stating that the account is accurate, and I advised them I am not denying it. I understand that this account is valid, but I paid this account with the promise of the deletions. I fell behind XX/XX/XXXX, six years ago, because my mother was diagnosed with XXXX   and had to take care of her. I then settled on XX/XX/XXXX, four years ago and since then I have been dealing with this burden. I paid for deletion, I did the right thing, rather than just waiting seven years for it to fall off.

This is a violation of my rights because they were not doing their due dilligence investigating. Furthermore I asked for the method of verrification because there was no lates on my behalf. Please have them update all the lates on my credit report to positive.
