Complaint narrative:
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 account listed without my expressed written consent.

XX/XX/year>, I initiated a XXXX XXXX XXXX with Equifax, who should have notified XXXX and XXXX.

Complaint narrative:
Signed up to get the overdraft fee if my account went over, instead of declining the amount. 
Wrote a check to my landlord for rent. 
Landlord cashed the check. 
The check posted in my account. 
Also that evening I got my pay check that covered all over draft fees AND the amount of said check. 
The check was returned, regardless of having the money in my account. 
Called PNC received XXXX different stories, XXXX from a supervisor in title only with no power name XXXX another from the rep. The rep was also rude with me, so I got rude with her. I dont care if shes been working here for 8 years. 
Why would the check post if it was returned? As well she said it was returned before noon, which was a HUGE lie because I saw my account at around XXXX and the funds had yet to be returned. 

So its either you guys like lying and making life harder for your XXXX customers, or you all need a system overview to go over and double check what I am seeing vs what you are seeing and having them be the same. Either way, PNC is staying true to its XXXX roots from the XXXX, if XXXX not XXXX  and in the upper class, I get treated like XXXX. 

NOW WATCH THEM REPLY TO MY COMPLAINT AND NOT ACKNOWLEDGE ANYTHING SAID
