Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account information incorrect
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (FL)

I wish to underscore that the inclusion of inaccurately reported late payment remarks on my accounts not only raises significant concerns but also represents a blatant violation of the regulations delineated in the 15 USC 1666. This statute, an integral component of the Fair Credit Billing Act, specifically aims to safeguard consumers against unjust billing practices and mandates the accurate reporting of payment histories. Each payment associated with these accounts has been diligently and promptly rendered within the specified timeframes. Therefore, any deviation from this precise reporting not only undermines my financial integrity but also contravenes the legal protections enshrined within this statute. It is imperative to promptly rectify this situation to ensure compliance with the law and uphold the rights of consumers.

Issue: Managing an account — Banking errors
Company: PNC Bank N.A. (WV)

I closed my primary checking account with PNC effective XX/XX/XXXX. I received a letter in the mail along with a final statement showing that this account had been formally closed effective XX/XX/XXXX. 

On XX/XX/XXXX, a {$200.00} birthday gift transfer was initiated by a family member 's external bank who did not know my account had been closed. As soon as I realized this error, I called PNC on XX/XX/XXXX and was told by the Customer Service Rep. that the {$200.00} credit was showing as " pending deposit '' but that it would be rejected because " the account had been closed '' and that the funds " should be returned to the initiating bank within 3 business days. '' As of XX/XX/XXXX, the funds had still not been returned to my family 's bank account, so I called PNC to follow up. Per the PNC Customer Service Reps today, PNC accepted the full {$200.00} deposit into the closed account and then issued a refund check which was put in the mail to my home address as of XX/XX/XXXX. When I requested the number of the check which was mailed to me, I was told that check number was not available. They did give me a reference number, but I asked two different reps for the check number and no one was able to provide it. I was told to wait 7-10 business days for this check in the mail. 

I do not understand how money was accepted into an account which was deemed CLOSED in writing earlier this very month, then held for 7 business days prior to attempting to refund it via snail mail without any correspondence to be able to track this check. PNC accepted {$200.00} when they shouldn't have, and then took 7 business days to refund it.

I disputed incorrect, inaccurate, and fraudulent information on my consumer credit reports with Experian, XXXX, and XXXX several times in 2023. I sent written disputes multiple times in 2023 in the mail regarding the fraudulent account with XXXX XXXX on my personal credit reports. I received responses from all three credit reporting agencies showing the item was verified and remains. I requested as per my rights under Federal Law with the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) proof/verification of this item in writing. All disputes were mailed to the credit reporting agencies in writing multiple times in 2023. I requested proof of the investigation from the credit reporting agencies multiples times in writing in 2023, which I am entitled to have under the FCRA upon request. I also requested in writing multiple times, proof supporting the credit reporting agencies decision to leave the item on my report as " Verified ''. I requested proof of verification that this item was authorized in writing. I also requested proof in writing showing original signatures of the item XXXX XXXX Loan was authorized by me. The credit reporting agencies have continued to ignore my requests in writing, they only respond with " we verified this items belongs to you ''. There is no supporting documentation offered that verified any proof of this item being valid, no supporting documentation in writing showing original signatures authorizing this item. Since the credit reporting agencies can not provide proof of their investigation or proof of the item belonging to me, I requested multiple times the item be removed from my credit report and this would be in compliance with the FCRA. I have not received any written documentation proof and the item remains on all three personal credit reports on Experian, XXXX, and XXXX after having submitted multiple written dispute requests in writing to all three national credit reporting agencies.

I called AidVantage the loan XXXX, because I am in an IDR until XX/XX/2024. I am not sure why all of a sudden I would have negative information being posted to the credit bureaus. I have not had anything like this happen in the past with my student loans. I spoke with a representative with AidVantage and she stated they don't have any control over what the credit bureaus do with my credit score. I tried to explain it was because of the information XXXX provided them. I filed a disupte with XXXX. That did not make a difference, in fact I had to call XXXX a second time because they didn't do anything with my complaint. I called AidVantage back XXXX explaining again that the way they are reporting my status is affecting my credit score. Today I received notification from XXXX that my credit score dropped XXXX points due to my student loan has increased. I called AidVantage today XXXX and wanted to speak with a supervisor. After spekaing with a representative and being put on hold my call was disconnected. I called AidVantage back and spoke with a representative that was going to escalate the issue. I verified with the representaive, being in and XXXX should not affect my credit score, my student loans will always be on my credit report, until paid off, but while in XXXX that should not affect the score. I was turned down from a local bank for a business loan because of the reporting of my student loan. I have asked over and over that they please check into this issue of incorrect reporting to the credit bureaus. Today is the first time AidVantage representaive has sent my information on to someone who has the ability to see what is going on. This has had a negative impact on my situation on trying to open up my business. I have not been able to get lending due to the recent information being provided to all three credit bureaus.

I have already sent a letter addressing the inaccuracies and unknown items on my credit report, but unfortunately, I have not received any response even after 30 days. It feels like I'm being taken advantage of and my disputes are being ignored. According to Section 611 ( a ), if these items are not investigated within 30 days, they should be promptly removed from my credit report. Since it has been over 30 days, I expect these accounts to be updated immediately. If not, I will have no choice but to pursue legal action due to the stress this situation has caused me. Additionally, my information was also affected by the Equifax, XXXX, and XXXX data breach, which raises concerns about the security of my personal data.
