Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (GA)

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 Equifax, XXXX, and XXXX data breach.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account status incorrect
Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (GA)

My account with XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  was never late! I have had exceptional payment history witH XXXX  XXXX and 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 reported to be removed.

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. 

XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX 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!

Delete the late payments from my consumer reports

To Whom It May Concern : I want to stress how crucial correct credit reporting is for maintaining the integrity of the credit reporting system as well as for my own financial security. To maintain fair and transparent processes, credit reporting organizations such as yours must satisfy their requirements under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). The FCRA was established to safeguard consumers like myself as well as other people 's privacy, and you will obey the law! Alternatively, you risk having to pay me {$1000.00} as a result of your noncompliance with 15 USC 1681n civil responsibility.

I have been trying to work my way through your maze-like dispute resolution procedure for months in the vain hope of finding a solution that never seems to come together. At every turn, I've run into obstacles, delays, and an overpowering sense of dissatisfaction rather than solutions. It's depressing to observe how little consideration your organization appears to have for the serious consequences these mistakes may have for people just like me.

I have experienced financial damages as a result of multiple attempts to file a complaint, in accordance with 15 USC 1681n Civil Liability for Non-Complaint. As a result, your company owes me {$1000.00} plus my attorney fees, which will be related to my pursuing legal action. I hope you can see that this is my next course of action. I hope you realize that I have meticulously documented every response you have given me.

I have submitted the signed weekly payment enrollment plan on XX/XX/year> and requested the bank to start the weekly plan from XX/XX/XXXX. 

But when I called on XX/XX/XXXX to get an update, I was then told that I also need to make XXXX full month early payment ( in this case full payment for XXXX ) and give the bank at least 10 days notification. I requested them to complete the payment for XXXX manually by XX/XX/XXXX and enroll me in the weekly payment plan. 

On XX/XX/XXXX, I called them again to get an update. Then I was told that they are not seeing the early payment for XXXX yet as it has not posted yet even though my checking account was debited. Customer service assured me that the weekly payment will start from XXXX XXXX and they do not need any other documentation. 

On XX/XX/XXXX, I called in again and then I got to know the payment plan has not been set up yet and they can only start the weekly payment from XX/XX/XXXX only if I pre pay my mortgage for XXXX and give them a new enrollment form 10 days prior to the payment start date.

**Subject : Urgent : Follow-up on Data Breach Claim and Communication Issues** Dear Equifax Customer Support, XXXX am writing to express my deep concern and frustration regarding the ongoing issues with my data breach claim. Despite numerous attempts to resolve this matter, I have not received any satisfactory response or resolution from your team. 

I have reached out multiple times regarding my claim for the data breach, but each time I am informed that attempts have been made to contact me, all of which have failed. This repeated failure in communication is unacceptable, especially considering the sensitivity and urgency of the matter at hand. 

As you are aware, the breach of my personal information has had a significant impact on my life. I am entitled to {$20000.00} as compensation for the misuse of my information, as previously acknowledged by Equifax. However, due to the persistent communication failures, I have yet to receive the compensation I am owed. 

I kindly request that you escalate this issue to the appropriate department and ensure that I receive a direct response with a clear resolution path. I am providing my contact details below once again to facilitate this process : - **Full Name** : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX **Claim Reference Number** : [ Your Claim Reference Number ] - **Email Address** : XXXX - **Phone Number** : XXXX - **Postal Address** : XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX Please confirm receipt of this email and provide me with an update on the status of my claim within the next 5 business days. Failure to address this matter promptly will leave me no choice but to explore alternative actions to secure the compensation I am rightfully owed.

Thank you for your immediate attention to this serious matter.

Issue: Trouble during payment process — 
Company: PNC Bank N.A. (TX)

My mortgage was transferred to PNC Bank several months ago. My original mortgage was not subject to refinance or escrow cancellation fees. 

I recently paid PNC Bank to reappraise my house and remove my PMI. I also asked the bank to remove my escrow arrangement because the bank greatly overestimated our tax and insurance fees for the upcoming year. 

PNC Bank agreed to remove my escrow, but only after I pay almost {$600.00} in fees. I called PNC Bank to inquire about these fees. I explained that I did not agree to these fees. However, the first representative I spoke with was very rude and dismissive. I was told that the fees were extra expenses applied by the bank, and that nothing can be done to waive the fees. 

I also asked PNC Bank to provide contact information for its legal department, so that I may communicate with the bank regarding this issue. Two separate PNC Bank representatives failed to provide this information. 

I was also told that a member of the PNC Bank escalation team would contact me within 48 hours to discuss this issue. However, nobody from the bank has contacted me. 

I believe that PNC Bank is acting in bad faith with regard to my escrow cancellation. Please let me know what further steps I can take to pursue my claim against the bank.

A few weeks ago I sent letters to all 3 credit bureaus regarding some items on my credit report which I know are not accurate which is a violation of the FCRA and FDCPA and you must abide by the law. Everything I have provided in my letters is true and accurate to my knowledge. Ive received emails and letters saying Im using a 3rd party which is incorrect because I am the one sending my letters out and filing this complaint with no help from a credit repair company or 3rd party. The CRAs are in violation of my rights due to not providing a notice of dispute and for failure to communicate to me that I disputed stuff on my credit. I request these accounts to be deleted from my credit asap or I will take legal action and hire a lawyer. I want to purchase a house soon and this holding me back. 

I would like the items I disputed in my letters to be handled accordingly based on the reasons that I put in my letters.
