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 each account listed without my expressed written consent. 
I looked at my consumer reports and noticed accounts I never gave anyone permission to report. Consumer reporting agencies have assumed a vital role and have a responsibility to report consumer information to the best of their ability with maximum possible accuracy like the Fair Credit Reporting Act clearly states. I did not provide written consent to report them. List all accounts : 1. XXXX XXXX - XX/XX/year> "

Complaint narrative:
Several months ago I contacted USAA as I was shopping around for different car/home insurance bundled rates. I decided not to purchase their product. Yesterday, I received notification that my profile phone number and email had changed. I have not logged on to a USAA site for XXXX months. Then, I started getting email bombed and received an alert that a hard inquiry has been run for a USAA savings account. After taking most of my workday to try to stop the bleeding, contact credit bureaus, try to route spam emails, etc., USAA has still failed to acknowledge my problem or help to resolve it. XXXX team member referred me to an incorrect website to verify my identify and I received a call back that they got my ID but I now have to send it to a different website. After doing much research, this is not an uncommon scenario for USAA. Now, my children ages XXXX and XXXX might be at risk as well, and I will have to further go down the rabbit hold myself, while I still wait for action from USAA. I have already spent countless hours in the past XXXX including not being able to sleep as I watch suspicious emails load up in my account and wonder what else is being done to damage my identity.

Company: PNC Bank N.A.

Complaint narrative:
My mother has had a checking account with PNC in her hometown, XXXX, PA for many years. Within the last 3 or 4 years, my mother decided to add me to her account in case I would need to do financial transactions on her behalf. Prior to this, I became a victim of identity theft months before. When the original account was opened, we decided not to participate in the online banking functions because my mother doesn't have a computer. Fast forward to this past XXXX when my mom tried to use her debit card and discovered her bank account was almost empty. On this same day, I received correspondence from PNC informing me I had opened ( 3 ) accounts online. Of course, I had no reason to open new accounts because I do my banking elsewhere.

When we reported this to the bank, we were told that since I'm attached to my mother 's account, the suspect ( s ) were able to get into her account and remove all {$3800.00}. After making all the proper notifications and personal visits to the bank, my mother recently received a letter from PNC Fraud stating they were declining her request to have the money returned. They were implying that we had made up this scheme and that we took the funds. Even though there is a paper trail as to the unauthorized charges, they didn't seem willing to investigate. They cite that the eleven online credit transfers ( All in 3 days time ) were a " Customer 's Historical Pattern of Use '', however, no such other transactions of this nature exist anywhere in her account history. My mother is XXXX years old, and the money is a considerable amount in her eyes. The bank just wants to write this off. I am asking for assistance in this matter and hopefully having PNC issue her a credit since they allowed this subject ( s ) to open up 3 checking accounts in my name online without any identification or monies deposited. 

Thank You XXXX

On XX/XX/year>, I called Cash app support to get help with my account after changing my phone number and was locked out of the account from which I have funds on the account. I verified all the information on the account and was advised I was unable to gain access since I did not have the old number anymore. I was told unless I get access back to my old number the funds would just sit there. I asked if there was any way I could cancel the account and have my funds mailed in a check and was advised no. So I am filing a complaint against the cash app because I feel as if they are robbing consumers. XXXX how many people all over the world they are doing this to. What happens to consumers ' money? Too hold on to consumers ' funds is totally unlawful.
