Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
In XX/XX/2016 my wallet was stolen. I filed a police report with my local law enforcement : XXXX Police Department. Soon thereafter my identity was used to acquire various accounts, namely a car loan with XXXX in XXXX, CA. They opened an auto loan with XXXX. Once this was brought to my attention I immediately contacted the detective I was working with at the XXXX Police Department. The detective contacted the General Manager, XXXX at XXXX and after a thorough investigation it was deemed by the General Manager, XXXX, at XXXX as well as the detective with the XXXX Police Department that this was in fact fraud. I am providing ALL documentation to evidence such. I have requested multiple times that Experian remove the Charge Off showing under my name with XXXX as well as remove this account and Experian as well as XXXX are REFUSING to remove this Fraudulent information which is preventing me from qualifying for a home loan and any other type of credit.

Company: ONEMAIN FINANCIAL HOLDINGS, LLC.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
The company continues to add on fees that I am unaware of. I understand that yes, I get behind on making a payment. But, when I make the payment, I am always told this will take care of what needs to be taken care of for that month. The next thing I know, I am getting other charges saying I have racked up numerous late fees that were never disclosed to me. When the company went under another company, all of a sudden these fees were always there. 

The most recent instance took place in XX/XX/XXXX where I talked with one of the lenders, and he clearly stated the amount I am paying will satisfy what I owe for the month. Then I get a letter in the mail stating the amount I paid did not satisfy that month and they needed more money.

Company: FIRST NATIONAL BANK OF PENNSYLVANIA
State: OH

Complaint narrative:
Loan started out as a 30 year property loan but did not have the escrow added to it but we signed the papers anyway and the loan officer stated he would take it back and redo it with the escrow added to it, approximately 1 year later he came back with a business loan with a five year bloom payment and i had to put my home on this loan. after running the business for almost a year and mailing my payment directly to the loan officer there was nothing i could do but sign the loan or lose my business because the money had already been used. In XXXX my accountant found out that i owed more than what my original loan was and called the bank and they gave me credit for interest and late fees of XXXX and XXXX. When the five year bloom was do again they said they would add my line of credit to my loan and we paid our payment. then when this five year bloom payment was due they would not extend my loan due to me not paying on my line of credit. After talking with the bank and making payments on my loan and line of credit since XXXX of XXXX without a loan they still act as if my loan is a secret and have refused to help us. Many time throughout the years just trying to get information about my loan they say they can not talk about it and never call back. In the past two weeks they have sent a appraiser to both my house and business with her stating that she could give a 20 year loan but since then has switched it to she will only give me 3 month or maybe another 5 year bloom with my home on the loan. The original loan Officer has been let go and the bank was bought out by another bank over the last ten years and no one would talk to us so we decided to go to another bank to try to get a loan and with this bank saying i have not made my payments since XXXX my credit score is now bad and will not help me out. So since XXXX me and my Family have been scared we are going to lose my home and business, we have called several times and have asked for meetings with loan officer and the president of the bank but they say they are to busy and are to far away all we want is a fair chance to clear this matter up. We have papers from our accountant that we are making our payments, but no one seems to want to help us small people out.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: IL

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/2016, I sent a dispute letter to Equifax disputing an unknown medical account. Equifax received my dispute letter on XX/XX/2016. On XX/XX/2016, I received an email that the dispute process has started. I received a new credit report dated XX/XX/2016 that stated " WE have researched the collection account # xxx. The results are we verified that this item belongs to you '', with instructions on how to contact the collection agency if I had additional questions. Per the instructions on my credit report, I sent a letter to the collection agency on XX/XX/2016 to the address Equifax provided on my credit report requesting validation of this debt. On XX/XX/2016, the letter I sent to the collection agency was returned to me by the USPS marked " Return to sender/Unable to forward ''. Per the USPA website tracking information for this letter, it said, " The addressee moved with no forwarding address ''. On XX/XX/2016, I sent another dispute letter to Equifax regarding this medical debt. I also included a copy of the XX/XX/2016 letter I sent to the collection agency as well as the proof of attempted delivery from the USPS website, that clearly stated that the letter was being returned to sender due to no forwarding address. I received an updated credit report dated XX/XX/2016, again their response was that they verified the account belongs to me, with the same instructions as before as to how to contact the collection agency with further questions. The collection agency address that Equifax is reporting on the XX/XX/2016 report, is the SAME address as the previous reports provided by Equifax. I also disputed this medical collection with XXXX XXXX and XXXX, and they bothe deleted the collection from my credit reports. 

On XX/XX/XXXX, I sent a letter to Equifax to inform them I filed a complaint with your agency as well as a copy of the complaint. On XX/XX/XXXX, I received a response from Equifax stating " The disputed account, cfpb is currently not reporting on the Equifax file ''. Obviously, my letter was not throughly investigated, since I am disputing an account with XXXX XXXX XXXX and " cfpb '' refers to your agency. I do not recall the date, but I called Equifax to speak with a supervisor in regards to their XX/XX/2016 letter and explain the " cfpb '' is not a debt I am disputing. She informed me that the debt I am disputing has been verified and instructed me to contact the collection agency. So, needless to say, I did not get anywhere with Equifax.

Company: PNC Bank N.A.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
On or around XX/XX/XXXX, I attempted to withdraw {$60.00} ( {$62.00} with ATM fees ) from a small ATM machine inside of a gas station/convenience store. The ATM machine NEVER dispensed the cash that I requested. I disputed this transaction with PNC Bank N.A . TWO times immediately and my claim was denied TWICE by PNC Bank N.A . on or around XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX. In addition, just recently I reported some checks lost or stolen and placed a stop payment on those checks. As a result, PNC Bank placed a red alert on my account in the event that someone attempted to cash one of my personal PNC Bank checks. Sure enough, on XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX gentleman walked into a PNC Bank N.A . in XXXX, Florida ( XXXX XXXX ) with one of my lost or stolen personal checks from my PNC checking account. The PNC Bank teller did not follow proper bank protocol ( she did not compare the signature on the lost or stolen check to my signature that PNC Bank has on file in their computers ) and cashed this lost or stolen PNC Bank personal check of mine despite me not writing and the hand writing/signature was OBVIOUSLY not even close to my handwriting/signature. In addition, the personal check that was erroneously cashed by PMC Bank seemed to be altered and/or manipulated including the date amongst other things on the check. In addition, the Bank teller ( who carelessly cashed this check ) or Branch Manager XXXX XXXX even call me to verify if I had written this check to this unknown person and they even admitted to me that the Bank made ab. PNC Bank has failed and wronged me on several occasions including this occasion and are failing to reimburse me for the XXXX above transactions that I did not authorize or receive any benefit from. I dispute the {$62.00} ATM transaction on XX/XX/XXXX again and was told that I would receive an immediate credit to my PNC Bank checking account on the next business day but I still have not received a credit. In addition, I disputed the lost or stolen check on XX/XX/XXXX that was forged and cashed without my authorization and was told that I would receive an immediate credit the next business day but that NEVER happened AGAIN.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
I am submitting this complaint about experian credit reporting agency. My XXXX/XXXX account was recently changed and put in the " potentially negative '' part of my credit report. I again called last week to dispute this information. This account was corrected in the past after I sent in the letter from XXXX/XXXX shops to verify that there has never been a late payment made on this account. It is suppose to be reported as accounts in good standing. Last month experian for whatever reason moved this account and put it back into potentially negative which affected my credit score. I have sent experian 2 copies 2 seperate times the letter I received from XXXX stating the account was never paid late. Experian should have this letter on file and I questioned it and was told they can re-dispute it for me. That is not the answer this account should have never been moved to accounts that are potentially negative. My complaint is I spend valued time on the phone with experian trying to correct the incorrect things on my credit report. Now I have to wait 30 days again before a response. This should have never been changed to begin with. I spend time money on stamps copies of the letter etc to correct the wrong information when finally it is corrected then a few months later it is back to square one.
