Company: PNC Bank N.A. (IL)

To Whom It May Concern : I went to sign into my PNC Bank account today, and I received a pop-up reflecting that my on-line banking had been revoked. 
I spoke to various customer service representatives, and even used the chat feature, to find out why my on-line banking had been revoked. All I was told by several representatives was that my on-line banking could be revoked for up to 30 days while they are investigating my account. Not one representative could tell me why. I requested a call back from someone in the Investigation Department.

6 hours later, a Manager from PNC called me. Apparently, I was not allowed to speak to the Investigation Department directly. The Managers was very helpful. Although she did not know the answer as to why my on-line banking had been revoked, she was determined to find out. 
After being on the phone for 35 minutes with the Manager ( she was playing the middle person between me and the Investigation Department ), she found out why my on-line account was revoked. And here is why I deposited a 3rd party check into my PNC checking account, via ATM, with the payees signature and my signature as I was instructed by PNC. 
PNC then sent me a letter and a copy of the check and instructed me to take these documents into a PNC Branch and redeposit the check along with my identification and the payees identification. Therefore, the payee and I went to a PNC Branch and followed their written instructions.

The reason for the revocation of my account was due to attempting to deposit the same check twice. If the Investigation Department actually knew how to investigate, they would easily be able to tell that I was instructed to deposit the check again at a Branch with the Payee. 
Even though the Manager told the Investigation Team that I was instructed by PNC to redeposit the check, they werent listening. They had her tell me to go into a PNC Branch and show them proof that the check I deposited was made out to me. I told her several times, the check was not made out to me, hence the reason why the payee and I went into the Branch with our IDs as instructed. Its not like I was credited twice for the deposit.

I also gave them additional information that they didnt ask for. One, the payee of the check was my father, and I could send them proof. Two, the reason my father signed the check over to me in the first place was to repay me for the cost of my uncles funeral. My father did not have the money to pay for the funeral upfront, but reimbursed me with the life insurance check once he received it. 
At the end of my conversation with the Manager, nothing was resolved, and I was told again that my on-line account may be revoked for up to 30 days.

I am writing to file a formal complaint regarding the inaccurate reporting of a late payment on my credit report by credit bureaus. The presence of this late payment inaccurately reflects my payment history, as I have consistently paid my bills on time. This discrepancy constitutes a billing error, violating my rights under the Fair Credit Billing Act, 15 USC 1666B. According to this law, consumers have the right to dispute and seek correction of billing errors, which include inaccuracies in payment reporting.

( 5 ) A computation error or similar error of an accounting nature of the creditor on a statement. 
The creditor did not notify me 21 days before with a statement, and therefore, there should be no late payments on these accounts.

The following account should be updated as agreed on my consumer report : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX If these accounts are not updated promptly, I reserve the right to seek monetary compensation for the violation of my rights in small claims court in my city and state under 15 USC 1681n civil liability.
