Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account information incorrect
Company: PNC Bank N.A. (PA)

A Visa card was opened without my knowledge by my ex-wife ending in # XXXX. I have asked PNC to just remove this reference from my credit report since in did not sign for this card, it is current and has never been delinquent. It has a high balance of $ XXXX and I believe it is adversely affecting my FICO score since it is almost at its credit limit. We have been divorced since XXXX ( proof available ) and my defense is PNC can not prove I ever signed for the card or had any knowledge it was open, all other creditors upon our divorce closed or removed the references from my credit report, here are the reason I think PNC should just remove the reference from all XXXX credit services, that is all I am asking. 

1 PNC can not prove I ever signed for this card 2 there is no record of me ever making a payment on this card 3 I have never received a card for this account, I have never made a charge or any transaction on this card, I have never received a statement from this card 4 the card can not be tied to my current address which I have been at since XXXX, they have absolutely no NOTHING to tie me to his card/account that my ex-wife opened without my knowledge, this card is also the only " joint '' credit showing on my current credit report 5 I had requested a copy of the signed credit application, they could not provide it stated they only retained it for 7yrs, again PNC can not prove in any way I was involving in opening this Visa card I just want the reference deleted from all 3 credit reports since the high revolving balance almost at the card credit limit is adversely affecting my credit / FICO score since I individually have < {$400.00} in revolving debt. PNC just states its not " our policy '' to remove references, but they can not in any way, shape or form prove I opened this account. Its obvious since I have had no activity as stated before with this Visa that it should remain on my credit report. 

Person most involved at PNC is XXXX XXXX, PNC Executive Client Relations, XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, Pa XXXX, XXXX, XXXX

Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (OH)

On ( XX/XX/2022 ) I sent a letter regarding inaccurate Late payments, inaccurate negative accounts, bankruptcies and unknown things on my credit report. To this day over XXXX  days later I have not received a response yet. feel like i'm being taken advantage of and being ignored of my disputes. Section 611 ( a ) it is plainly stated that failure to investigate these items within 30 days gives a reason to immediately remove those negative items from my credit report as well as correct my late payments as paid on time. It has been over 60 days so they should be corrected promptly. I demand these negative accounts be deleted & correct late payments as paid on time immediately or I will file for litigation due to the stress you caused me. My information was also impacted by the Equifax data breach and may have got into the hands of the wrong person.

Issue: Unable to get your credit report or credit score — Other problem getting your report or credit score
Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (MS)

I am trying to improve my credit score. I used the simulators on the credit report services that are included with 3 of my credit cards. They indicated that my score would increase 100-150 points if I paid {$27000.00} down on my credit cards. I did and my scores only increased 10-20 points. I closely monitor the timing differences between what I have actually paid versus what has been reported to the credit reporting agency. There are very few differences. 

I took money out of my retirement account to pay down this debt because of what the score simulators told me. Now my scores are still in the 665-686 range and my retirement account has {$27000.00} less than it should have. If these simulators had told the truth, I would not have taken money out of my 401k. A small increase in my score was not worth reducing my retirement account.

Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt is not yours
Company: AFNI INC. (CA)

XXXX continues to report inaccurate information on my credit report. XXXX   responded that the debt was verified. How is this possible? What was your method for verification? Who did you contact? 

I have disputed this account several times requesting physical verification from AFNI. I  mailed all letters certified mail with signed return receipt in XXXX, XXXX, and XX/XX/2018. I do not have a legal agreement/contract with AFNI to pay this debt. I asked them several times to remove this account from my credit report. Per my rights, I requested a copy of the original consumer contract with my signature that says I agreed to pay AFNI. AFNI refuses to provide me a copy. 

According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act, Section 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ), you are required by federal law to verify through physical verification of the original signed consumer contract for any and all accounts you post on a credit report within 30 days. Since AFNI refuses to provide me a copy of a legal agreement with my signature that says I agreed to pay their company for this debt, they must REMOVE this account from my credit report. 

AFNI has and continues to violate my rights according to the FCRA. AFNI is illegally reporting this account on my credit report without the legal verification required by the law ( FCRA ). Please remove the following account from my credit report immediately : Account # XXXX Currently, I do not have a lawsuit pending but I will exercise my rights if AFNI continues to violate my rights under the FCRA and fails to comply with the law. According to FCRA, I may recover actual damages or statutory damages. Statutory damages are up to 1,000 dollars per violation. Under the FCRA, I am also entitled to attorney 's fees and punitive damages. The company has to pay my lawyer, in addition to their lawyer, as compensation for breaking the law. They will also have to pay litigation costs.
