Product: Mortgage — Conventional home mortgage
Issue: Trouble during payment process — Fees charged
Company: PNC Bank N.A. (VA)

In XX/XX/XXXX XXXX updated my authorized Scheduled Recurring Payment Method for my Mortagage through PNC Bank and there is no way to unauthorize old payment payments from previous loan providers through their online portal. They said I signed a form but that never happened as my loan was sold to PNC from my previous Mortgage provider years ago. They are now charging me a {$30.00} non-sufficient funds fee because they did the XXXX separate payments for the normal Mortgage payment amount from XXXX separate checking accounts ( old account and new account ) without me knowing what would happen after updating my account online in XX/XX/XXXX. This is despite paying on time and in full for my required obligations. I didn't receive a letter notifying me of the issue until XX/XX/XXXX and called them as soon as I received this notice as I didn't receive any electronic or phone notice for the {$30.00} non-sufficient funds fee. On XX/XX/XXXX They told me I had to call them to update it which I had no idea about and that was not disclosed anywhere on their website when I updated my mortgage payment account. I have paid on time and in full the entire time since PNC assumed my mortgage from another provider and it seems unfair to me as a financially savvy person to have to pay this {$30.00} fee despite my efforts to do everything correctly!

Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt is not yours
Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (FL)

I want to stress that I did not give written permission for these specific transactions to be included in my consumer report. At no point did I authorize these entries, and their presence on my report is unwarranted. Consequently, I am formally requesting that these accounts be blocked and removed from my report immediately. 

It is important to clarify that this request is not due to any error or negligence on my part. There has been no oversight or misunderstanding on my end. Instead, this issue arises solely from the fact that I did not explicitly authorize the inclusion of these transactions in my report. I am diligent about maintaining the accuracy and privacy of my financial records, and these unauthorized entries compromise that integrity. 

I trust that you will handle this matter with the urgency and seriousness it deserves. Please confirm the removal of these transactions from my report as soon as possible. Thank you for your prompt attention to this issue.

Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Their investigation did not fix an error on your report
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (PA)

On XXXX I asked for VALIDATION of this debt. I DID NOT RECEIVE IT FROM THE CREDITOR. On XXXX I asked for a 1099C because the account is charged off. The company responded that they did not have to provide one. On XXXX I asked from errors on the account to be corrected. The creditor responded that they did not have any errors on my account that was being reported. Today is XX/XX/XXXX and i am requesting that this account be removed from my credit report immediately as proper investigation did not occur. Errors on my credit report : 1.The report states that the account was closed in XX/XX/XXXX, but the charge-off date is listed as XX/XX/XXXX. XXXX. My credit report shows charge-offs ( CO ) every single month from XX/XX/XXXX through XX/XX/XXXX, a charge off is a XXXXne time event ( so on my credit report it should've only been charged off one time ). In The letter from XXXX states that the account was charged off on XX/XX/XXXX, not multiple times over XXXX and XXXX. This conflicts with my credit report, which indicates charge-offs from XX/XX/XXXX through every month in XXXX and XXXX. XXXX. Delinquency was first reported in XX/XX/XXXX, yet the payment history shows charge-offs beginning in XX/XX/XXXX XXXX the Letter Response from XXXX XXXX XXXX The letter states that your account was written off on XX/XX/XXXX, with a balance of {$460.00}, but my credit report shows the account was charged off in XX/XX/XXXX, months before the XX/XX/XXXX write-off stated in the letter. The inconsistency between the charge-off date on the report and the written-off date in their correspondence is significant. 5.The account also reflects negative available credit of - {$230.00}, which is incorrect. My credit limit on this account was {$200.00}, and a balance of {$430.00} was reported. However, negative available credit is not appropriate and may indicate a miscalculation. **ENCLOSED : PLEASE SEE ATTATCHED CORRESPONDANCE FROM XXXX XXXX XXXX PLEASE SEE COMPLAINTS THAT WERE FILED, PLEASE SEE CREDIT REPORT WITH ERRORS HIGHLIGHTED**

Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (MD)

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.

This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This leads way to civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n, which allows for {$1000.00} per violation, for account listed without my expressed written consent.
