I've learned that the creditor didn't provide the necessary 21-day notice along with a statement, which would have given me enough time to process payments and avoid late fees on these accounts. This mistake has caused a misrepresentation of the payment status, indicating a billing error by the creditor.

On XX/XX/XXXX I opened a business account with Wells Fargo and added my first cashiers check from my client of {$5300.00}. I was assured that it would be fully available come XX/XX/XXXX, which it was. 
As we are waiting for our business accounts debit card to arrive, my wife and I took it upon ourselves to send {$300.00} to the personal account that we have had since XXXX, so that we could use that debit card to purchase tools. Upon examination of our account later at XXXX Tuesday evening, all of the money was gone, and now including a negative balance of {$300.00}. 
On XX/XX/XXXX at XXXX XXXX I went to Wells Fargo directly, the same one that we started the business account with, and was told that I would have to wait till XXXX XXXX  in order to rectify the situation. I had other things to do at my job site, so unfortunately I did have to leave.

I was then told that there was nothing that could be done because ( they ) werent sure if it was a fraudulent cashiers check, but had to make sure. From there I was told that the money that I needed to order cabinets for my refurbishment and pay my workers would not be available until the XXXX. 
Today being XX/XX/XXXX, I took a copy of the check, which Wells Fargo was graciously enough to give to me, and went to the XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX where the check was made.

Needless to say, I do not have my money, and this is costing me time and money with my work.

Company: McCarthy, Burgess & Wolff, Inc. (GA)

I am disputing this as erroneous. I was quoted an amount for the insurance premium and paid it in full. After sending the last payment, making XXXX balance due, and after cancelling my insurance as it was no longer needed, XXXX proceeded to harass me with repetitive audits where they kept coming up with new amounts supposedly due and then adjusting the alleged amount due after each new audit. I provided all the necessary information to them yet they kept doing audits and I have contacted them numerous times both by phone and email in attempt to resolve this, but they continued to the point of it being harassing. Then they sent me to collections when I do not owe them anything. I am kindly asking this collection agency to stop sending me bills since I have proof the policy was paid in full and also of cooperating with their harassing, confusing, and unfair audit process. Thank you.

Company: PNC Bank N.A. (TX)

Since 2019 I have been trying to get PNC Bank to remove their derogatory comments of non-payment from the credit report. The charges were due to identity theft and fraudulent charge activity. I provided detailed information including a sheriff 's report, a police report with the name of the police officer, factual information demonstrating that I could not have made the charges, and an FTC report. I have interacted with PNC Bank many times without success or resolution.

I have requested the investigation information that PNC Bank fraud investigators have accumulated under the FCRA policy, i.e. ; I am entitled to that information so that I may respond directly to the incorrect information obtained and for which the denial to remove their derogatory comment is based from my credit report. 
PNC Bank CEO has refused to provide that information and his representative has informed me that I would require a subpoena and letter from my lawyers. This is incorrect as I am entitled to that information, to dispute PNC Bank 's incorrect information
