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

On XX/XX/XXXX, I wrote to XXXX XXXX XXXX, CEO of PNC Financial and asked for an audit on my mortgage account # XXXX. I also asked for a transcript of payment history and charges since the inception of my loan. 

During Covid, my account was on a Covid hold. When the hold was lifted, I continued to make payments, but struggled to come up with the past due balance. I was charged an extra $ XXXX on each payment to apply towards the deficit of an estimated {$16000.00}. In XXXX of XXXX, I paid all arrears in full to avoid foreclosure and get my loan back on track. My payments should have returned to their normal amount at that time. 

I am still being charged the extra amount for a deficit on my account, which causes a hardship. I have asked that this be reconciled, with no answer from PNC. 

I would like PNC to audit my account for discrepancies and duplicate charges. I also would like a transcript of charges and payments since inception, so that I can have an independent audit to verify. 

Can you help me get a response?

Issue: Trouble during payment process — 
Company: Freedom Mortgage Company (AZ)

On XX/XX/XXXX, I was received a letter from Freedom Mortgage stating that I was past due on my mortgage. I thought this to be some kind of mistake since I have the payments set up on auto-pay through my bank in. When I spoke to the representative, XXXX # XXXX, he explained that our mortgage payment had increased and as a result, the amount that I had auto-payed through my bank was short by {$50.00}. XXXX told me that since the payment was not in the full amount that the payment was put aside in an unassigned account until the full payment was made. He explained that the account went 30 days with out the payment ( even though they had my money ) and was then reported to the credit agencies. 

On XX/XX/XXXX, I wrote an email to Freedom Mortgage to request a reversal of the credit report made when they failed to apply our loan payment to our mortgage. 

At no time was I aware that the full payment had not been made. Freedom Mortgage never attempted to call and explain that I was short ( {$50.00} short on a nearly {$3000.00} payment ) on the payment. And instead of applying my payment to my account, they held the money in an unidentified account, not associated with my mortgage. 

I checked my bank statement and saw that the payment was made on time ( XXXX. 
XXXX ) and XXXX confirmed that they received the payment but since it was not in the full amount that the money never was applied to my loan. I can provide the statements to verify this if needed. 

I immediately paid the balance, including the late fee and additional {$50.00} for XXXX XXXX  payment ( {$190.00} ), and explained that the XXXX auto-payment was already pending as per our bank. 

We have never been late on a payment and we had no intention of being late on this payment. I have the bank statements that show the funds had been paid on time, less the {$50.00} increase and the representative confirmed that the payment was made on time, only short the escrow increase.We have been late or missed a payment with this company in five years! 

I emailed the company, as directed by XXXX # XXXX, and requested a reversal of the credit report but have not had a response. I called back on two separate occasions ( XXXX, spoke to XXXX # XXXX and XXXX, spoke to XXXX # XXXX ) and was told that there was no one to talk to about the credit report dispute and that I would never have anyone to speak directly to about this problem. I could only wait for the customer care center to respond to my email request. 

I was told by the representative, XXXX, to contact the CFPB for help with Freedom Mortgage 's credit reporting practices and failures to apply mortgage payments to the loans.

Lexisnexis consistently causes emotional damage to me as a consumer. Not only is LexisNexis erroneously reporting an alleged bankruptcy on my consumer disclosure theyre very inconsistent with facts of their business investigation. Not only have I called LexisNexis after submitting my dispute, I have uploaded the documents requested through their consumer portal. I called on XXXX XXXX and authenticated myself 3/4 times with LexisNexis representatives and was told I didnt need to send any documents in to authenticate myself because they had already authenticated me over the phone. I then uploaded the documents they requested through the online portal which I have attached to this complaint. LexisNexis continues to prove that their investigation of my dispute is incomplete and unverifiable because their efforts to be thorough are unreliable. If LexisNexis cant verify myself as the consumer then how they verifying information that allegedly belongs inside my consumer file? Lastly, I have a right to privacy and I didnt give written permission to LexisNexis to furnish the inaccurate, unverifiable and incomplete information theyre reporting. There are inaccurate names, addresses, phone numbers and public records being reported that dont belong to me and I am forced to engage in arbitration and legal actions against the company.

I am writing to file a complaint regarding a medical collection for {$350.00} from a collection agency called XXXX XXXX XXXX with account number XXXX I believe this collection agency has violated the HIPAA law, and I am also aware that a new law has passed in 2023 stating that medical collections under {$500.00} can not be reported to credit reports anymore.

Despite the fact that my medical debt was under {$500.00}, I have been receiving harassing phone calls and letters from XXXX XXXX XXXX, demanding payment for the outstanding balance. Additionally, I have noticed that this collection agency has reported this debt to my credit report, which has negatively impacted my credit score.

As per the HIPAA law, medical information is considered private and confidential. However, XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX has disclosed my medical debt to third parties without my consent. This is a clear violation of the HIPAA law and has caused me significant distress and inconvenience. 

Furthermore, the new law that has passed in 2023 clearly states that medical collections under {$500.00} can not be reported to credit reports anymore. Despite this, XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX has reported my debt, which is unfair and unjustified. 

I kindly request that you investigate this matter and take appropriate action against XXXX XXXX XXXX. I also request that my credit report be updated accordingly to reflect the new law that prohibits the reporting of medical collections under {$500.00}
