Issue: Opening an account — Didn't receive terms that were advertised
Company: PNC Bank N.A.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
PNC customer service representatives systematically misinform customers about the promotion term and provide false information so PNC can deny the bonus. At the same time, they state they are responsible for what they state, are the PNC employees and speak on behalf of the company. It happened to me twice already. First in 2020 the customer service representative provided false information when the previous account was opened, and they denied the promotion. This time I carefully asked all the questions before opening the account. The terms contain ambiguous language, which require understanding ad where the 24 month period start. Many banks in the same situation use account opening date. ( XXXX, for example ). The attachment shows the customer service representative clearly stated the same thing - 24 months from the date of the previous account opening. Now PNC tries to deny the bonus, at the same time stating the company is responsible for what their customer service employees stating - by the very customer service employees statements ( attached ).. 
As a XXXX XXXX XXXX, I feel extra deceived when I try to be extra careful and ask the customer service employees to interpret the terms, and then they refuse to honor their OWN interpretation! - and telling me that as a XXXX I should understand better that the customer service representative!. Quite insulting and abusing for a XXXX XXXXo be deliberately deceived in my face. I hope the XXXX government agency will protect me. from it..

Company: Trident Asset Management, L.L.C.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I am filing this complaint against Trident Asset Management for their repeated failure to provide proper debt validation as required under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ) and Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). Despite multiple disputes and requests for documentation, Trident Asset Management has continued to report an unverified account on my credit report. They have only provided insufficient documentation, such as a generic statement, which does not meet the legal requirements for validation. 

I have formally requested a contract or signed agreement proving the validity of the debt and their authority to collect, but they have failed to comply. The account in question continues to negatively impact my credit, and their ongoing non-compliance is a violation of my rights under 15 U.S.C. 1692g ( b ) and 15 U.S.C. 1681.
