State: SC

Complaint narrative:
" I am writing to formally file a complaint regarding unauthorized accounts that persist on my credit report despite my repeated efforts to have them removed. These accounts are causing significant damage to my financial reputation and overall well-being. It is evident that the inclusion of these fraudulent items violates 15 USC 1681b regarding permissible purposes, as the credit bureaus have no legitimate reason to report them without my explicit consent. Please refer to the attached file detailing these items I am disputing. 
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. ''

Company: PNC Bank N.A.
State: PA

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/year> I had a check that was " white-washed '' out of a USPS postal service drop box. The check was made payable to XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX in the amount of {$1600.00}. The check was altered, poorly, replacing the payee to XXXX XXXX XXXX and adding a " XXXX '' to increase the amount to {$11000.00}. The check was visibly altered and PNC failed to have the internal controls in place to decline the check ( nor did they contact me ). Once we were aware of the fraud, we contacted PNC who said they were mailing paperwork that we would need to complete to have the funds returned. Due to the amount, I asked if we could expedite and they instructed me to complete the paperwork at a branch. I personally went to the branch the " same day ''. I was told the return of funds could take up to 120 days. After receiving no update, I contacted PNC on or about XX/XX/year> - per XXXX, I don't see any updates and will escalate. On XX/XX/year> I was contacted by XXXX from Executive Client Relations. I was told that they would need five days to receive an update from her " service partners '' ( i.e. colleagues ). I asked that they place a phone call to the appropriate individual or department to request an update- this request was declined. I received a follow-up call on XX/XX/year> from the Executive Client Relations team because they didn't see the signed Affidavit ( which was completed at the branch ), asked if I had a copy, and also informed me that I may need to re-complete. From what I gather, the paperwork was not properly processed by PNC despite multiple phone calls at the outset and personally showing-up in person to expedite the return of funds. On XX/XX/year> I received an email stating " There is no update at this time as we are still waiting to hear back from XXXX. '' PNC, a federally insured and regulated bank, who lacked controls to reject a visibly altered check has shifted the blame to XXXX and it is out of there control. 

PNC stated to me on the phone " we do not have a process in place and are working with our regulators ''.

Complaint narrative:
Subject : Failure to Provide Form 1099-B and Request for Credit Report Removal for Charged-Off Account Dear [ Credit Card Companys Name ], I am writing to formally request a copy of Form 1099-B in connection with my charged-off account, account number [ Insert Account Number ]. To date, I have not received this form, nor any information related to it. This lack of documentation constitutes a failure to comply with IRS regulations regarding the reporting of income related to charged-off debts. 

Additionally, due to this failure to provide the required Form 1099-B, I believe this account has been inaccurately reported to credit reporting agencies. Your company is reporting as having a balance but the debt was written off. The absence of proper documentation raises significant doubts about the accuracy of the information being reported. 

As a result, I am requesting the following : 1. A copy of Form 1099-B for the charged-off amount of my credit card account.

2. Confirmation that this account has been reported accurately to credit bureaus, or its immediate removal from my credit report due to the lack of required documentation.

3. Any other relevant tax documents associated with this account. 

Failure to provide Form 1099-B and continue reporting this debt inaccurately may violate the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), and I will not hesitate to pursue further action to ensure compliance with applicable laws and protect my rights. 

Please consider this letter a formal dispute and request that this account be removed from my credit report until this matter is resolved. I expect your response within 30 days. If you are unable to comply, I will take additional steps, including filing disputes with the credit bureaus and reporting this issue to the IRS. 

Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter. Should you require any additional information, please do not hesitate to contact me.
