Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: PA

Complaint narrative:
Im submitting this complaint against XXXX, Equifax, and XXXX  due to their total disregard for my consumer rights under the FCRA/FCBA/FDCPA. For several months now, I've been disputing inaccurate and unverifiable information showing up on my credit report by this company. I have requested intimate information about the alleged accounts, including a copy of an agreement with my signature on it, but I have yet to receive anything. These companies continue to electronically verify these " ghost '' accounts without providing any legally binding evidence, such as a signed contract and complete accounting of the record, as required by law. They're clearly lying and thus the reason Im asking for proof. However, these companies refuse to provide it, which is not right and is not compliant with the FCRA/FDCPA. Im absolutely fed up. My life has been in complete ruin as a result of this. It's causing enormous mental and financial distress, preventing me from getting approved from credit that I am rightfully entitled to, and not to mention the ample amount of time that I must take out to try and resolve this matter myself. This has brought a great deal of harm to my family as a whole as well. Ive just had enough! Please help! I hope to hear from you soon.

Consumer complaint received 2021-05-06 00:00:00
Product: Checking or savings account — Checking account
Issue: Opening an account — Confusing or missing disclosures
Company: TD BANK US HOLDING COMPANY
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
After dealing with TD Bank over this issue I did some research and discovered they tried a similar game last year. 

We are am existing business checking customer with TD. TD suggested we open 2 additional FREE checking accounts. 

We opened the accounts and got charged a {$13.00} maintenance fee and a {$3.00} paper statement fee. 
We were told explicitly the accounts were free. We were even opted out of paper statements on our existing account. 

TD opened these new accounts and automatically began charging us for paper statements without giving us the option to choose. This is some predatory nonsense. 

We contacted our local branch a week ago and they are still working on it. 
After reading about situation with TD misrepresentation if fees in 2020 I realized this is a similar gambit. 
Banks are out of their mind for pulling these tricks in modern times. We're not going to stand for it.

Issue: Closing an account — Can't close your account
Company: PNC Bank N.A.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/2021 I called PNC Bank to report a checking account opened under my name that I did not open. My name and social was used to open an account on the internet without my knowledge. The bank rep told me she would report to the fraud department. On XX/XX/2021 I received a statement for this checking account. I called PNC again and requested them to close these accounts as they could potentially expose myself and the bank to a loss if these accounts go into the negative. They said they would fill out a form and submit it to the fraud department, which they told me the same thing on XX/XX/XXXX and nothing happened. I said close the account and they told me they could not because I did not open them, THE FRAUDSTER DID therefore I am not the account owner. This is either a training issue or PNC has some bad policies regarding new accounts opened.
