In the quiet humdrum of everyday life, a sudden jolt shattered the tranquility : I had become a victim of identity theft. Like a thief in the night, unseen hands had stolen my personal information, plunging me into a bewildering maze of uncertainty. With each fraudulent transaction and unauthorized account, the breach of trust cut deep, leaving me grappling with the unsettling reality of a violated identity. Yet, in the midst of chaos, a glimmer of resilience emerged, a resolve to reclaim what was rightfully mine and restore the harmony stolen by unseen adversaries. These are the following accounts need to be removed :

" 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 my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not. In the event that any accounts are reported without my written consent, that is considered identity theft. 


This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This leads way to civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n, which allows for {$1000.00} per violation, for each account listed without my expressed written consent. 
I looked at my consumer reports and noticed accounts I never gave anyone permission to report. Consumer reporting agencies have assumed a vital role and have a responsibility to report consumer information to the best of their ability with maximum possible accuracy like the Fair Credit Reporting Act clearly states. I did not provide written consent to report them. List all accounts : XXXX - XXXX, XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX

My account with XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX was never late! I have had exceptional payment history with XXXX 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 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 in months that are reported late 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. 


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.

Company: PNC Bank N.A. (VA)

I had a personal loan with PNC bank. I lost my job and got sick and was behind t payments. I have been customer for 10 years and not ever behind on payments before. My account had maybe {$100.00} in it. So they go into My XXXX XXXX XXXX sons account that stopped being connected to mind in XXXX of 2023, and they took the payment from his account. That was not my account. He is an adult and only his social and personal information is on that account. I opened the account when he was XXXX for college, but once he was adult we werent sent a letter that the 4 years for the college acount was over, and he would now have a standard bank. 
They had absoluetly no right to go into his bank, as he was never on the personal loan application or a part of the loan process, and take the money. 
I called and they claimed a phone was made to make the payment over the phone and that is absolutely incorrect and they could not provide me with who called and when. Then they said their policy is they can take the payment from your account if you are behind. I have an account, but it was only {$100.00}. If they could see my sons account then they could see I had a direct deposit pending for midnight and they could have taken it from me, or they could have overdraft me. I was NOT negative, I just hadnt made a payment. This is absolutley not legal, and completley unethical.

Company: SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL (SC)

My complaint concerns the interest rate charged by Synchrony Bank, which handles my department store credit card : Belk. In XXXX, XXXX the APR for purchases was 25.49 % and cash advances 29.99 %. As if that interest rate weren't bad enough, I just got my XXXX statement and within the statement was an attachment that stated, starting with transactions made after XX/XX/XXXX the interest rate for purchases will be 34.99 % ( a 27 % increase ) and APR for cash advances will be 36.49 %. Outrageous. However, a new XXXX has been added, the " XXXX XXXX, '' which will be 39.99 %! In addition, they will also charge {$1.00} for a " paper statement fee. '' My credit score is XXXX and I can afford to pay my bill in its entirety, therefore paying zero interest. What about the rest of the folks out there? There was a time, in this country, decades ago, when credit card companies could not charge these exorbitant interest rates. It is Mob-like usury. If Congress would actually work for the people instead of their social media accounts, maybe something could be done.

My complaint is meant for your information only ; I don't need any follow-up from Synchrony Bank XXXX Thank you.
