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 TILA US Code 1666B since I was never late. " I recently reviewed my consumer report and noticed an incorrect late payment record. I have always maintained timely payments on this account. Under the Fair Credit Billing Act ( FCBA ) and the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ), creditors are required to accurately report consumer transactions and provide a mechanism for correcting errors in a timely manner. Please conduct an investigation into this matter, and if you can not provide documentary evidence of these supposed late payments, I demand these payments to be updated to on time as they should be as I was NEVER late. I expect these updates to be made promptly, in compliance with the law.

Company: PNC Bank N.A.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I opened my business checking account back on XX/XX/XXXX with no issue at all online. I opened it under a new account promotion bonus offer which was {$400.00} for maintaing a {$2000.00} average daily balance for XXXX full XXXX cycles. I brought my balance up to above {$2000.00} right away, and used the account for normal purchases after receiving my debit card. 3 months go by with no issue at all, and on XX/XX/XXXX Iog into my account, and see my entire balance pending withdrawl. I immediately call customer service to see what's going on, and i'm told " my account is being closed ''. No explanation as to why, no Email or phone call beforehand. I finally get some paper in the mail XXXX XX/XX/XXXX saying my account was officially closed on XX/XX/XXXX. I'm still waiting for my entire account balance to be refunded to me, no word on how long that will take. I think it's very very suspicious how they decide to close my account with 5 days left in the final XXXX XXXX which means I would have earned my {$400.00} promotional credit award. Seems to me like this is a scam they run to use your money as they see fit until the final days left when you will earn the reward, and then decide to close out your account so they do not have to pay out the money. Such a bad look on them as a financial institution, and a very scam-like practice. I can't even go to a local branch to get my money, I have to wait on them to take their sweet time to send me out my money via a cashiers check. Horrible banking practices, and customer service is even worse.
