Complaint sub-issue: Account information incorrect

Hello! 

Hope this email finds you well. I am writing in regard to issues I have with my account, and I am in search of transparency, assistance and resolution. My student loan was deferred from XX/XX/XXXX to XX/XX/XXXX XXXX my loan was actually deferred for various periods but this is the time period I have an issue with ). However when reviewing my credit file I noticed that my student loan payments were marked late every month from XX/XX/XXXX to XX/XX/XXXX ( for a total of 11 late payments that appear on all of my credit reports - all three bureaus ). Aside from allowing students to defer a student loan payment for a specific period, a deferment should also protect borrowers ' credit rating while they are facing financial hardship or are in school. 

I have contacted XXXX several times regarding this matter and I keep getting the runaround. I was told by one of your reps to file a dispute with the credit bureaus, and when I filed the dispute, XXXX told the credit bureaus that the late payments were correct, even though my loans were in deferment - this is where the questionable business practices begin. I then contacted the office and asked for a letter that outlined my deferments, and received a letter that did not include all of my deferments - they ironically left off the years I was inquiring about. Then, I contacted the office and asked for a manager and was referred to XXXX XXXX who sent proprietary internal information ( screenshots from your database ) so that I could decipher my deferments on my own using a reference key that she provided ( see below email thread ). 

I am not sure what your best practices are but this is extremely frustrating to borrowers. It seems as if borrowers are penalized for deferring payments - this entire experience has discouraged me from taking advantage of something that is supposed to assist me in hardship because of the negative impact it is having on my credit worthiness. In many ways, these practices seem to be in violation of the Truth in Lending Act. During this pandemic, the last thing consumers need is to be penalized because they are facing hardship. 

I ask that XXXX correct the erroneous late payments ( 12 total ) for XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX. These months should appear as paid on time per my approved deferment from XX/XX/XXXX to XX/XX/XXXX. Please be honest, and provide the credit bureaus with accurate information when they contact you, and remove the 11 incorrect late payments from my credit file. Attached to this letter I have included : -The attached screenshots from XXXX  -The letter from XXXX  -And the dispute letters from the three credit bureaus Please let me know if you need any additional information from me to assist in remedying this situation. Thank you!
Complaint sub-issue: Account information incorrect

I have two inquiries on my credit report that I did not authorize. 
I filed a ftc complaint for fraud per the suggestion of the credit bureau. ( FTC Report number : XXXX ) I disputed the inquiries to Equifax along with the documentation I received results from the credit report both inquiries were removed in report file # XXXX. 

I sent another dispute to the credit bureau XX/XX/21 with the copy of the results the inquiries showed deleted. 

I received the results today XX/XX/21 the inquiries are factual. 

This is in violation of the credit report act- reporting inaccurate information
Complaint sub-issue: Threatened to sue you for very old debt

On XX/XX/XXXX around XXXX XXXX I heard a very loud and aggressive banging at my door. I did not see a car parked in my driveway nor across the street. I asked who was at the door and what they wanted. The individual said she was from the sheriffs office and when I opened the door, the officer hid on the side of the house and then proceeded to hand me the paperwork. She did not ask for my ID and she signed off on the document. This debt is from XX/XX/XXXXthat I was paying on regularly until XXXX. I had to use this card to pay for my mother funeral in XXXX. I have not been gainfully employed since XXXX until XXXX and I am now only working part time. I am not looking for compassion but the tactics were aggressive and unwarranted especially for someone like me that suffers from XXXX with documentation to support that. I have submitted an Answer Document to the law firm : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, NC but have not been able to speak to an actual person.

Complaint sub-issue: Deposits and withdrawals

On XX/XX/2019, I deposited two unit of local government checks at a local BB & T Branch located at XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX, Kentucky XXXX. One of the checks was for {$5200.00} and the other check was for {$15000.00}. I deposited the checks at the teller at the branch. The teller decided to put extended holds on the checks even though they are two unit of local government checks. Under the expedited funds availability act, the funds are to be available the next business day, subject to certain exceptions which don't apply under the circumstances. Per BB & T Bank {$100.00} will be available on XX/XX/2019, {$100.00} on XX/XX/2019 and {$4800.00} on XX/XX/2019, and {$15000.00} on XXXX XXXX. These holds are illegal under the Expedited Funds Availability Act. I asked the teller when I was doing the deposit why they were doing the extended holds even though they were government checks, and the teller 's response was because I didn't have sufficient funds to cover the checks in my account currently. Not having enough funds in my account currently is not an exception to the Expedited Funds Availability Act, and is being used as a pre-text to extend the hold times for local government checks. BB & T is flagrantly violating the Expedited Funds Availability Act when I deposited two local government checks and the funds are supposed to be available within the next business day.

Complaint sub-issue: Deposits and withdrawals

On Saturday, XX/XX/2022, I initiated an " INSTANT DEPOSIT '' from my XXXX  TO my PNC JOINT Checking account, in the amount of {$86.00}. 

Between XXXX and PNC, I'm NOT getting ANY REAL answers or satisfactory resolutions. PNC on Saturday DID acknowledge an " issue '' with " 3rd Party payment applications platforms '' ; or some convenient XXXX like that. The issue was SUPPOSED to have been " resolved '' by now, and the FUNDS CREDITED. Really? I'm seeing NOTHING to that effect AT ALL. 

So the question is, WHERE IS THAT MONEY, and WHEN will it be CREDITED to our account? 

SOMEONE SOMEWHERE has that money, I'm convinced. 

Now, our checking account is running in the NEGATIVE, and one recurring debit card bill payment was DECLINED just TODAY for " insufficient funds ''. This would NOT have happened had that money been TIMELY CREDITED to our account. So what now? We have to incur FEES for insufficient funds when this issue is clearly NOT mine nor my husband 's FAULT?! We DON'T THINK SO! 

FIND THE MONEY AND CREDIT the same, PERIOD!
