Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (NV)

Issue: Closing an account — Company closed your account
Company: PNC Bank N.A. (NJ)

On XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX I went to my local XXXX NJ branch of PNC Bank to open a joint account with my brother and sister in law who were both visiting from XXXX. I have a 30+ year relationship with this bank having joined with my spouse in XXXX of XXXX. My XXXX adult daughters also hold accounts in the same branch. 

At no time was I ever given any indication that there would be problems with the account. Indeed, that day, we deposited {$5000.00} into it. On XX/XX/XXXX, I received a letter from the bank indicating the account had been closed. No explanation given. 

I have called the indicated number. The bank does not answer the line with a live person. In fact, they do not return calls. So I wrote a letter which I will attach. 

Today, I have received a phone call. Pure and simple, it is what I expected : the bank has the right to close your account at any time and for whatever reason " just the same way you can close your account at any time and for whatever reason ''. 

I find this disappointing and also, a poor commercial practice. For one month the bank was happy to keep our money until they decided, for an unknown reason, to sever the relationship. We could have and probably will select another bank that can cater to our situation ( e.g., a US citizen that wishes to open a joint account with non-resident relatives ). 

The only account closed was the joint account with my brother and sister in law. I suspect there is nothing in the law that can help me redress with the bank but I wish to nonetheless file notice with CFPB this is one problem that needs to be fixed. At the very least, banks should be able to explain why the took action to close and also, they should be able to explain their policies for opening accounts with non-residents.

My account with XXXX EXPERIAN XXXX was never late! I have had exceptional payment history all payments were placed on Autopay. This late payment that is reporting is a result on a systematic error on their end processing my payment. 


This was clearly a billing error made my the company and is not a reflection of my payment experience which violates USC Code 1681eb. This error has caused severe hard to my reputation, my character, my mode of living and to my family! 


I demand the late payment to be updated. 


They are not in compliance with the following law. 15 USC 1666b and its requirements set the standards and the guidance for a creditor to treat a payment as late, yet they are reporting a payment as late and they did not comply with the law! 


15 USC 1666b ( a ) Time to make payments A creditor may not treat a payment on a credit card account under an open end consumer credit plan as late for any purpose, unless the creditor has adopted reasonable procedures designed to ensure that each periodic statement including the information required by section 1637 ( b ) of this title is mailed or delivered to the consumer not later than 21 days before the payment due date. 


XXXX EXPERIAN XXXX Never Sent the periodic statement along with the disclosures from section 1637 ( b ). 


I have requested proof that this information was mailed or delivered 21 days before the payment due date and this information was requested in good faith pursuant rule 1002 and It was never provided. 


This is unfair, illegal, fraudulent, and not equitable to me as a consumer!
