Hello, I am writing to file a formal dispute against several creditors who have violated the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act ( FACTA ), and the Equal Credit Opportunity Act ( ECOA ).

As per the details of my complaint, I have experienced severe financial hardships due to the unverified and inaccurate information that creditors have reported to consumer reporting agencies.

Also my current address is XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, CA XXXX, But bureau reported that I have many addresses like XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, CA XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, CA XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, CA XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX CA XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX CA XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, CA XXXX The creditors ' actions have severely impacted my life. I have been denied credit and loans due to the inaccurate information on my credit report, which has prevented me from purchasing a home or a vehicle. Additionally, it has caused me significant emotional distress, and I have been unable to sleep or concentrate on my work. 

Therefore, I am requesting that you enforce the legal provisions outlined above and ensure that the creditors remove all unverified accounts from my credit report. I would appreciate your prompt attention to this matter. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

Company: PNC Bank N.A. (PA)

I would like to file a complaint against the PNC XXXX ATM XXXX located at XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, pa XXXX. I bought an engagement ring from unclaimed diamonds on XX/XX/year> in the sum of {$1600.00} and on XX/XX/year> my fiance and I went to that PNC ATM location to make a deposit in cash in the sum of {$1600.00} around the time frame of XXXX prior to the XXXX XXXX XXXX. I deposited all {$1600.00} in twenties only all at once and the machine only accepted {$140.00} ( my last cash deposit ) and gave back the remaining cash {$1400.00}. Then I made a second deposit cash only in twenties in the sum of {$1400.00} and jammed the machine. The ATM did not return my cash {$1400.00} but a message appeared stating to contact the financial institution. When I tried contacting the number no one answered so we decided to call the abington police department to file a report. Two officers arrived at the scene and took a report also the officers stated that this situation has happened multiple times here before. The police report number is XXXX and XXXX XXXX # XXXX. In addition, another customer pulled up to use the ATM and stated he had issues with this ATM as well. On monday XX/XX/year> my fiance and I went to my PNC XXXX where I bank at to file a complaint. PNC first credited my account back {$1400.00} pending investigation. After further investigation PNC sent me a letter confirming I did not lose {$1400.00} in the ATM Machine and will be taking the money out of my account that they credited me back. My fiance and I went to the ATM where the incident occurred to take pictures and to our surprise the ATM Machine was completely removed and poles where up in the area where it once was. How can I defend myself with NO ATM Machine available and no footage was available. Now I've been forwarded to a credit collection service for {$1400.00} ( Debt Collector : XXXX ), which we will be disputing. I also contacted the XXXX for I suffer from a severe disability and they should be aware of this situation and the affects I'm suffering. I hope this scam does not happen to any other disabled person or any one in general. Thank you for your cooperation!

I lodged a complaint with these Bureaus a month ago, but unfortunately, the inaccurate information on my report still remains. I haven't received any communication from the XXXX, except for the notification that you sent stating that the company has responded to my complaint. How can I be certain that they have thoroughly checked the inaccuracies on my report? What methods did they employ to validate the accounts? This whole situation is incredibly frustrating! It's been more than 30 days since I filed a complaint with these Bureaus, and yet the disputed accounts have not been updated. If this continues, I will have no choice but to take legal action due to the immense stress this has caused me. Moreover, I am also concerned about the security of my personal data, as it was affected by the XXXX, Experian, and XXXX data breach.

" The banking system is contingent upon equitable and accurate credit reporting, as stated in the equitable Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ). The banking system 's efficacy is directly impacted by inaccurate credit reports, and the public 's confidence is undermined by unfair credit reporting methods, which are essential for the system 's continued operation. 

Therefore, the efficiency of the finance system is compromised whenever the FCRA is violated. This is a violation of my privacy with respect to my consumer report, as I have the authority to determine which items are included and which are not. Identity theft is the act of reporting any accounts without my written consent. 

This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( XXXX ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This results in civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n. The law permits a {$1000.00} fine per violation for each account listed without my expressed written assent. 

I reviewed my consumer reports and observed accounts that I had never granted anyone permission to report. Consumer reporting agencies have taken on a critical role and are obligated to report consumer information with the utmost accuracy, as the Fair Credit Reporting Act explicitly stipulates. I did not provide written consent to report them. I am expressing my dissatisfaction with the contents of the attached file. ''

In XXXX of XXXX  my vehicle was totaled in an accident with XXXX as the auto insurance and PNC bank being the loan holder. 

In an attempt to pay off the loan XXXX sent a check to PNC ( see check scans for {$19000.00} ). PNC released the title to XXXX ( see link to car auction ) and marked the account as paid. 

A duplicate loan was created somehow, and my original loan was closed. This all happened without my knowledge. When XXXX attempted to send the corrected amount, it was rejected because they were stating that the account had been paid in full. 

This was a banking error. As of the end of XXXX I finally was able to get my insurance company to send yet another check. I believe this account is finally going to be closed. 

I have had to pay {$400.00} in interest and {$1600.00} in rent/deposit coverage due to my credit report being negative. I am unable to get any loans or open up any new accounts due to this error. 

PNC bank has stated they have done nothing wrong and can not help me.

" 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 TILA US Code 1666B since I was never late. 

I recently reviewed my consumer report and noticed an incorrect late payment record on my XXXX XXXX  account [ XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX, XXXX XXXX - XXXX, XXXX XXXX - XXXX ]. I have always maintained timely payments on this account. Under the Fair Credit Billing Act ( XXXX ) and the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ), creditors are required to accurately report consumer transactions and provide a mechanism for correcting errors in a timely manner. Please conduct an investigation into this matter, and if you can not provide documentary evidence of these supposed late payments, I demand these payments to be updated to on time as they should be as I was NEVER late. I expect these updates to be made promptly, in compliance with the law.
