Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Information belongs to someone else
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: OH

Complaint narrative:
I submitted a dispute to you regarding multiple inaccuracies on my credit report, including incorrect personal information ( name, addresses ) and multiple inaccurate account entries. Despite providing supporting documents, such as my driver 's license, proof of address, and social security card, you have failed to correct these errors. These inaccuracies impact my credit standing and violate the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), which requires credit bureaus to ensure maximum possible accuracy. Additionally, some of these accounts may involve debts that should have been reported differently under 1099-C tax laws. I formally requested verification and removal of these items, but you have not taken appropriate action.

Company: PNC Bank N.A.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I am filing this complaint regarding PNC Banks handling of my mortgage and its bi-weekly payment application process. 

Beginning in XX/XX/year>, I explicitly requested and enrolled in bi-weekly mortgage payments of {$1100.00} with the intentionand clear representation by PNC staffthat each payment would be applied immediately toward my loans principal and interest, thereby accelerating my payoff schedule and increasing equity more rapidly. 

Despite these clear instructions and consistent bi-weekly payments ( each including an additional {$100.00} toward principal ), my account statements do not reflect the results expected from a true bi-weekly amortization plan. Instead, it appears my payments are either being held until a full monthly amount is reached or are otherwise not credited as received, significantly diminishing my anticipated interest savings and principal reduction. My statements reference only a regular monthly payment, and principal reduction does not align with the accelerated plan discussed and agreed upon with PNC representatives. 

Additionally : PNC has failed to provide me with documentation or agreements regarding the bi-weekly payment program, despite repeated requests. 
The lack of a written communication channel ( PNC does not provide a customer service email ) makes it difficult to maintain records of all interactions, as nearly all contact occurs by phone. 
I have repeatedly requested copies or transcripts of recorded phone calls pertaining to the payment setup for my own records and have yet to receive them. 
I have made multiple efforts to resolve these issues directly with PNC Bank, but my concerns remain unaddressed. I am XXXX and have limited ability to make phone calls ; and I am seeking the CFPBs assistance to ensure my payments are applied as clearly authorized, that all relevant documentation is provided, that principal payments are handled transparently and accurately, and that my rights as a mortgage consumer are protected. 

The following reflect the dates I called PNC regarding this matter : XX/XX/year> XX/XX/year> XX/XX/year> ( 2 times ) XX/XX/year> I have also reached out via the chat forum. The latest time I reached out via chat was XX/XX/year>.

I lodged a complaint with these Bureaus a month ago, but unfortunately, the inaccurate information on my report still remains. I haven't received any communication from the Bureaus, except for the notification that you sent stating that the company has responded to my complaint. How can I be certain that they have thoroughly checked the inaccuracies on my report? What methods did they employ to validate the accounts? This whole situation is incredibly frustrating! It's been more than XXXX  days since I filed a complaint with these Bureaus, and yet the disputed accounts have not been updated. If this continues, I will have no choice but to take legal action due to the immense stress this has caused me. Moreover, I am also concerned about the security of my personal data, as it was affected by the Equifax, Experian, and Transunion data breach.

Company: Avant Holding Company, Inc.
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
AvantCard / XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX : Complaint Against AvantCard ( XXXX ) Unfair Monthly Fee Imposed Amid Disputes and Financial Hardship I am filing a formal complaint against AvantCard issued by XXXX regarding a newly imposed $ XXXX ( {$100.00} annual ) fee on my credit card account, which I never agreed to when opening the account. I was recently notified that this fee will be added beginning XX/XX/year>, unless I opt out but doing so results in account closure. 

This action is highly concerning for the following reasons : I am currently experiencing financial hardship and have had multiple active disputes across credit lines. Avant acknowledges my payment and utilization history in their notice, yet fails to recognize that many of the negative data points relate to ongoing or previously submitted disputes. 

Some items remain marked on my credit reports as " Account information disputed by consumer '' ; yet Avant is weaponizing these data points to justify new fees instead of offering assistance, or even a clear explanation. 

I never agreed to any monthly maintenance fee when I opened the account. This represents a retroactive and exploitative modification of terms, especially harmful to those in vulnerable financial situations. 

The option to reject this fee leads to account closure, which will negatively affect my credit utilization ratio, length of credit history, and overall score further exacerbating my financial recovery. 

In my opinion, this change is : Unfair and deceptive under UDAAP standards. 

Punitive in nature. 

Exploitative of data gathered during periods of active dispute. 

Despite their claims, Avant has never had a personal issue with my account specifically, and I have never given them reason to treat me as a risk warranting monthly penalties. The sudden addition of fees now ; when I am already financially vulnerable feels like a cruel and calculated move to exploit my situation rather than support a long-standing customer. It is incredibly disappointing and frankly predatory. 

Instead of being transparent and closing the account themselves ( as many creditors do when they feel a customer no longer meets their risk standards ), Avant is forcing the burden onto me to make it look as though I chose to close the account... likely to avoid regulatory scrutiny. This maneuver is manipulative, self-serving, and absolutely not in the spirit of consumer protection. Their actions clearly show they do not have the customers best interest at heart, and honestly, it raises the question : why would any consumer want to continue a financial relationship with a company that behaves this way?
