Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (FL)

I greatly value the relationship I have with the following creditors and have consistently made on-time payments forsuch a long time.This isolated incident does not reflect my overall commitment to honoring my financial obligations, and I have since taken steps to ensure this will not happen again. 

Given my otherwise positive payment history, I kindly request that you consider removing this late payment from my credit report as a goodwill gesture. I believe this adjustment would better reflect my responsible credit behavior and would help improve my credit standing.

Company: PNC Bank N.A. (IL)

I was informed by PNC Bank today XXXX that the dispute PNC Bank customer service filed for me on XX/XX/XXXX was filed incorrectly. I had been talking to PNC Bank every day since XX/XX/XXXX. The whole time, I was told to wait for the dispute team to work on my case. I was reassured that I am ok since the dispute was filed quickly. Now I find out that the dispute filed was incorrect. A new dispute is filed today. 

I transferred {$210000.00} from PNC Bank saving account # XXXX to XXXX XXXX  on XX/XX/XXXX to open a CD account. I called PNC Bank to confirm the transfer on XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX. Then on XX/XX/XXXX, I was informed by XXXX XXXX  that PNC placed a fraud alert on the transfer and demanded the money back. Per XXXX XXXX, they rejected my money and will close my account. 

I called PNC Bank on XX/XX/XXXX to seek help. A dispute was filed by PNC customer service for me. I found out from XXXX XXXX  that the money was from PNC account # XXXX. That's not my account. I called PNC bank on XX/XX/XXXX and was told not to worry since a dispute was already filed. I called PNC Bank again on XX/XX/XXXX and was told to call back on XX/XX/XXXX to talk to the dispute team directly. 

On XX/XX/XXXX, I talked to PNC Bank and was told that the dispute team doesn't speak to customers. The customer representative escalated my case. I called PNC Bank again on XX/XX/XXXX for an update and was told to wait. I asked to speak with a XXXX. She called me on XX/XX/XXXX and told me that there was nothing customer service can do, but I can't speak with ACH team and can't speak with the dispute team. I just need to wait for the dispute team to work on my case. 

On XX/XX/XXXX, I talked to the PNC Bank fraud department. I report suspicion of fraud being committed on my saving account. Money came out of my account but XXXX XXXX  indicated that the money was transferred to them under account # XXXX. Fraud department couldn't do anything. The case was escalated to the executive team. 

On XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX ) called me and asked to get the ACH tracking number from XXXX XXXX to prove that XXXX Bank returned the money to PNC. I called and gave the information to XXXX. XXXX XXXX, he should hear from the dispute team/ACH team by Monday XX/XX/XXXX but he would update me by XXXX On XXXX, I called XXXX. He didn't have any update and told me to wait. By this time, I got upset and filed a complaint with CFPB. 

CFPB notified PNC Bank of my complaint. PNC Bank did more research and found out that the dispute filed on XX/XX/XXXX by the PNC Bank customer service was done incorrectly. So, a new dispute was filed today. 

Now, we are back to square one, another 10 days wait. Also, the risk of losing my money is big now. 12 days passed. All the time I waited for my dispute case was wasted.

" I am writing to formally file a complaint regarding unauthorized accounts that persist on my credit report despite my repeated efforts to have them removed. These accounts are causing significant damage to my financial reputation and overall well-being. It is evident that the inclusion of these fraudulent items violates 15 USC 1681b regarding permissible purposes, as the credit bureaus have no legitimate reason to report them without my explicit consent. Please refer to the attached file detailing these items I am disputing. 
The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( 1 ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence, which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system. So whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not. In the event that any accounts are reported without my written consent, that is considered identity theft. ''
