Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (MD)

In preparation for applying for a HELOC with my bank I recently created user accounts with XXXX and XXXX, but when I tried to create an account with Experian the website reported that my email address was already in use. Attempts to contact the company by phone resulted in an automated message that the 'operator ' only connects the caller to an 'agent ' under specific circumstances ; all other inquiries must be made through the web portal. Since I can not log on to the web portal I can not get assistance. 

I have never created an account with Experian and I am worried that someone may have used my email address to create a fraudulent account. This is infuriatingly frustrating and Experian is being of no help whatsoever. 

This has all taken place in the last 10 days ( today is XXXX XX/XX/2023 )

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (TX)

I am writing to file a formal complaint against Experian for their repeated refusal to update my current address and delete old addresses from my credit report, despite providing them with ample documentation to support my request. Over the past year, I have sent numerous letters to Experian, providing all the necessary documentation to update my current address to : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX TX XXXX The documents I provided include : A copy of my drivers license showing my current address. Recent utility bills reflecting my current address. Car insurance documents also indicating my current address. Despite my repeated efforts, Experian has failed to update my address and continues to list outdated addresses on my credit report. This is causing confusion and impacting my ability to manage my credit effectively. I would like to note that both XXXX and XXXX updated my address without any issues using the same documentation. This further highlights Experians lack of responsiveness and compliance with my requests. I believe that Experians failure to address this issue in a timely manner is a violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), and I am seeking your assistance in resolving this matter.

Product: Mortgage — Conventional home mortgage
Issue: Trouble during payment process — Escrow, taxes, or insurance
Company: PNC Bank N.A. (CA)

On XX/XX/XXXX our loan was transferred from XXXX XXXX to PNC. We contacted XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX XXXX and XXXX in XXXX, ( which is our insurance broker ) and asked if PNC should be aware of the fact that we needed to have fire insurance for our property and all parties confirmed that we need fire insurance and that PNC had been contacted about our plan. This plan has been active for six years with automatic renewal and compounded into our mortgage. On XX/XX/XXXX PNC issued an electronic check for XXXX XXXX XXXX which XXXX XXXX ( a PNC client relations employee ) said they didnt know about prior to that day. After performing an escrow analysis, PNC is now saying that they didnt know about the XXXX XXXX XXXX so its not wrapped into our mortgage. Our mortgage has now increased from {$1000.00} to {$1400.00}. We contacted XXXX XXXX and requested all documentation when our loan was originally transferred and theyve failed to provide that. We have all records showing that PNC was notified on XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX about the XXXX XXXX XXXX. PNC also failed to make a payment for Home dwelling insurance with XXXX in XX/XX/XXXX we received a notice in XX/XX/XXXX stating that PNC was going to acquire their own premium for the home dwelling hazard insurance at a more expensive rate. I personally had our policy reinstated with XXXX ( with the help of XXXX and XXXX insurance broker ) on XX/XX/XXXX without the help of PNC. Then PNC sent us a notice on XX/XX/XXXX that we now have insurance with XXXX XXXX XXXX and can drop our mercury insurance which is false. We need to have both insurance policies on our mortgage because its required. We have made our monthly payments on time however theyre charging us late fees and saying that we have not made payments even though they have deposited them. We sent extra funds to be used for principal reduction and they use that money for escrow, when we had a note in the memo of a money order that it was specifically for principal production. 

PNC has failed to communicate, provide documents and is trying to have us pay for our fire insurance twice.
