Complaint sub-issue: Problem making or receiving payments

I was a customer of BBVA which was acquired by PNC. At the time, I had five business accounts and two personal accounts. Listed below are the issues that I have experienced since XX/XX/XXXX as well as continue to experience due to the acquisition/conversion issues. 

1. Bill payments missing - still an issue 2 Not able to access some of my accounts- resolved after over a week for one of my accounts 3. Personal accounts and business mixed up - resolved after over a week 4. Bill payments being made that I can't see of confirm if they are going to being made - ongoing issue 5. Payments being made without my permission for a line of credit that was paid well before its due date and for more than the required payment - ongoing issue 6. Lack of initial response to my issues and ongoing poor service 7. Not being able to confirm if my employees would be able to get paid because of the issues. 

All in all, this was the worse banking experience ever. It is beyond my comprehension that PNC could have done this so poorly while putting customers money and businesses at risk. I believe that PNC should not be allowed to do any future acquisitions and should incur major financial penalties for this debacle.

These 2 accounts with the Department of Education just re-appeared on my credit report after previously being removed. These 2 accounts are time-barred from credit reporting due to their age. The Date of First Derogatory ( DOFD ) that led to default was more than 7 years ago. I have not voluntarily made a payment on these two accounts in over 7 years. The Department of Education has illegally re-aged these 2 accounts and they need to be removed from my credit reports at XXXX, Equifax and XXXX.

I'M HAVING ISSUES GETTING MY DISPUTE PROCESSED WITH THE CREDIT BUREAUS
Complaint sub-issue: Problem with customer service

On XX/XX/22 at XXXX, I sent an email to Great Lakes loan servicer stating I want to request a $ XXXX refund on my student loans that I finished paying off last year. How do I get that process started? Thank you. I then called them around noon on XX/XX/22 to talk to a representative about the same thing. The representative told me that she had submitted my request for the ~ $ XXXX refund and said I would hear back in 30-45 days. On XX/XX/22, I received an email back from Great Lakes stating XXXX XXXX, Thank you for your email. 

Our records indicate that your concerns may have already been addressed after speaking with a representative. 

If you have additional questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact us. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX Department Great Lakes Educational Services , Inc.

So I assumed that they saw that I had already called about the same issue by the time they were able to respond to my email. It has been over 40 days since my original call on XX/XX/22, so I decided to call again to check on it. I called Great Lakes loan servicer around XXXX today and the representative said that she saw where my request was submitted over the phone but then they received my email and they interpreted my email as I want to cancel my refund. As you can clearly see, it does not say cancel anywhere, only that I want to get the refund process started. I then asked if they could resubmit my request and put me on a high priority list. They said they do not have a high priority list but they did resubmit my request and it will be another 30-60 days before I hear back. I should not be punished for their mistake of misinterpreting my email. They did not do anything extra to make things right with me.

This is the first time I have encountered identity theft. I pulled my credit for myself and there are a couple of fraudulent accounts that do not belong to me. Not only did I find out that my name and social security number had already been filed. Please remove these unknown accounts from my reports as soon as possible. 

BANKRUPTCY XXXX {$0.00}
Complaint sub-issue: Transaction was not authorized

On the morning of XX/XX/2022, I was notified via text that my Ally Bank debit card may have been used in a fraudulent transaction. When I attempted to call into Ally Bank to dispute the charge, I was told it was a nearly 2 hour wait, which is very abnormal because Ally usually has very low wait times. 

After doing some research, it seems like many users of Ally Bank debit cards experienced similar cases of fraudulent transactions on their Ally debit cards over the past week or so. ( I found many similar cases on XXXX at XXXX  ). 

It appears that Ally Bank has had some kind of hack or data leak take place for so many Debit Card uses to suddenly experience fraudulent charges in such a short period of time. It also seems like this issue has been going on for many days and Ally has not yet made a statement. I think this is to protect their stakeholders while they continue to leave customers in the lurch.

On XXXX XXXX, 2017 I gave XXXX and this was unable to work at the time until I resumed work two months later. I had spoke to sallie Mae informing them on the matter that I am on XXXX leave and unable to make payments at the time. They stated not to worry and that I will be placed on a deferment. I never received any emails or phone calls until about the second week of XX/XX/XXXX constantly giving me phone calls and I didnt get paid my first paycheck until XX/XX/XXXX. I then spoke with sallie Mae again saying I can enroll back in auto debit and then I made a payment and XXXX from sallie Mae told me my account was current and that if I make a payment it wont be reported to XXXX or affect my credit score. I received an email saying it did and I am very flustered because Ive been working very hard to improve my credit score as you can see all my accounts are in good standing. I would like to purchase a home in the near future so please help me in removing this error. I am currently working full time and am ready to make payments again. Just because I had a XXXX  doesnt mean I should get punished.

Complaint sub-issue: Was not notified of investigation status or results

Dear Legal Department, This credit dispute is being submitted as a new evidence dispute. The accounts that are being disputed, does not belong to me. Below is my sworn statement concerning these credit issues. 

It is my sworn statement that I declare under penalty of perjury ( " under the laws of the United States " if executed outside of the United States '' ) that the foregoing is true and correct to the best of my knowledge. Further, I certify that I am qualified and authorized to file this dispute. I also understand that knowing and a willful misstatement or omissions of material facts constitutes a federal criminal violation punishable under 18 U.S.C. 1001. Additionally, these misstatements are punishable l1S perjury under 18U.S.C. 1621.

The tradelines listed below are items currently within my credit file, and none of these are related to  any transaction that was made by me. It is my official statement that someone and/or several people have opened these accounts and made transactions on these accounts without my knowledge or authorization, my personal information has been used to obtain goods, services, or money : and the person ( s ) responsible for creating these accounts. 

I have filed a report with the Federal Trade Commission, which I have enclosed within this dispute package. I have reached out to all of these creditors and have made them aware that these accounts were fraudulently opened, and they have known this for several months, but have yet to remove these accounts from my credit reports. Some of the creditors have been cooperative and have removed the accounts, but others have refused to remove the fraudulent accounts. Therefore, I have come to you, the credit reporting agencies to resolve these issues. The law says that you must block these accounts while being investigated, and I expect that you will do so. 

I made an attempt to file a police report, but I was informed by my county that it did not constitute as an emergency and that they would not file the report because I didn't have any information on the person who used my information, nor did I know how my information was obtained by this person. 

Likewise, these COLLECTION ACCOUNTS are also not mine. None of these belong to me. This means that I was not the person, which had an account with the original creditor, which has sold these accounts to these collection agencies that are now reporting the debts.

Complaint sub-issue: Overcharged for something you did purchase with the card

This has been going on since late XX/XX/2021. In a nutshell, the issue is US Bank is allowing a merchant to charge for twice the amount the merchant told me was going to be. On several occasions, including a recent XX/XX/2021, letter by US Bank, I have complained that some of the people looking at my dispute with US Bank do not understand the issue. 

The issue has always been the merchant charging twice the amount it told me it would charge. I have never said that I am not going to pay what I was quoted, but yet again ( per the XX/XX/2021, letter ) US Bank that it can't assist me because I received the services represented in the transaction. 

THAT IS NOT THE ISSUE. The issue is being charged twice the amount I was quoted. 

[ I have other documents but exceed the XXXX MB limit. ]
Complaint sub-issue: Their investigation did not fix an error on your report

I have written to XXXX XXXX, Equifax and XXXX  several times asking them to do a investigation into a ( filed ) bankruptcy they are reporting on my credit report ... I have sent them letters from the bankruptcy court stating they do not share this information with anyone. So Im unsure how they are validating this negative item that they refuse to investigate. They said they get their information from XXXX but the bankruptcy courts again said they do not give this information to anyone. And my XXXX report is frozen how are they even getting information from them? I sent that as evidence yet they still refuse to remove this information from my report ... this is fraudulent information as it is reported that is was paid/dismissed, this is completely inaccurate I never met with a grantor/trustee nor did I attend court for any bankruptcy ... it was a filed bankruptcy and I immediately withdrew with the attorney and choose to go a different route. I attached two pieces of information showing that they cant possibly be validating this information as stating the bankruptcy court is the reporting agency on my credit report yet they receive the information from a third party!
