LVNV FUNDING LLCwas advised to investigate a few things that I believe are inaccurate and they never responded. I asked for a a copy of the contract that I signed ( which is my right to do so ), a full account history of this debt, every payment that was made and all interest that was applied. Those were MY specific request. It appears obvious to me that they are abusing their power under the FCRA to escape a complete investigation. I have been requesting, since since XX/XX/2021, verification of this alleged debt that they claim I owe to this company company and which they are reporting on my credit files. However, this company has failed to obtain and send me legal verification as mandated by the law.

Company: Big Picture Loans, LLC (CA)

I tried to pay off this loan and they kept giving me excuses why I couldnt pay the loan off.

Product: Bank account or service — Savings account
Issue: Deposits and withdrawals — 
Company: SUNTRUST BANKS, INC. (TN)

I opened a new savings account at SunTrust Bank on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX with {$2000.00}. On XXXX/XXXX/XXXX SunTrust made an unauthorized withdrawal from my account in the amount of {$1300.00}. My inquiry revealed that the reason given by the Bank was to recover disputed funds dating from XXXX. 
Given that these funds were disputed, the Bank has no legal right to act in this manner. The Bank could have brought legal action if it felt it was in the right. That it did not do so shows that the Bank felt it did not have sufficient evidence to support its ' claim. What the Bank did is equivalent to theft. If I entered someone 's home and took something because I thought that the owner owed me money, that act would be illegal and would be considered theft. 
I would request that the CFPB instruct the Bank to return the funds to my account, and advise them them to bring legal action if they wish to pursue their claim.

Product: Debt collection — Medical debt
Issue: False statements or representation — Attempted to collect wrong amount
Company: Collection Consultants of California (CA)

I asked Collection Consultants of California to stop reporting on a medical debt for 1 ) it violated HIPPA and 2 ) it was past the statute of limitations in California, which is four years, and they can not try to collect a debt that is beyond four years old. They have refused to do so and are still trying to collect the debt. Therefore, I am making another complaint against them. It is against the law to collect a debt that is beyond the statute of limitations and violates HIPPA.

I have had a very difficult time with XXXX XXXX. I am elderly living on a fixed income. With my family income, I can afford my mortgage. SinceXX/XX/XXXX, I have been trying to get a modification with PNC. Their system is very dysfunctional and slow. It can take days or weeks to get a simple answer from them regarding the modification. We have been in underrating since XXXX with 2 update  requests. We have asked PNC to place the foreclosure on pause while we go through our review. On the last request from PNC, we had to get an updated profit and loss from an accountant. Which is a 3rd party and not quick. We sent documents needed a few hours late and PNC is now kicking our file out of the review. It took 4 days for XXXX our representative to even tell us this. Now we have to file a possible bankruptcy all because PNC is a predatory lender, and the representative has done everything possible to backdoor our file into foreclosure.

I am writing to file a formal complaint with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau regarding inaccurate accounts that have not been removed from my credit report, despite the absence of proper verification procedures being provided for these " verified '' accounts. I recently obtained a copy of my credit report and discovered several accounts that are inaccurately listed. Despite disputing these accounts and requesting verification of their accuracy, they have not been removed from my credit report. Also, the method of verification for these accounts was not provided to me as required by the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). I have not received any documentation or evidence supporting the accuracy of these accounts, yet they remain on my credit report, negatively impacting my creditworthiness. I have made multiple attempts dating back to XXXX  by contacting both the credit reporting agencies and the creditors associated with these accounts. i also sent all letters via certified mail USPS so i KNOW they received my letters.. However, my efforts have been met with inadequate responses and delays, resulting in continued harm to my credit score and financial well-being.
