Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to file a formal complaint against XXXX XXXX XXXX for violations of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ), as well as potential breaches of New York XXXX consumer protection laws. XXXX XXXX XXXX has contacted me regarding a debt they claim I owe. However, I have never entered into any agreement with this company, nor have I received any documentation verifying the legitimacy of the alleged debt. Despite my requests, XXXX has refused to provide a copy of the original contract bearing my signature or any proof that they legally own the debt in question. 

This conduct violates several provisions of the FDCPA, including : XXXX U.S. Code XXXX Validation of Debts : XXXX has failed to provide written verification of the debt, including the name of the original creditor and a copy of the contract, as required by law. 

XXXX U.S. Code XXXX False or Misleading Representations : By continuing to pursue collection without substantiating the debt, XXXX is misrepresenting their authority and the validity of the claim. 

XXXX U.S. Code XXXX Communication Without Consent : If XXXX obtained or used my personal information without my consent or a legitimate business relationship, this constitutes unlawful communication. 

Additionally, LVNVs actions may violate New York XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, which prohibits deceptive acts and practices in the conduct of any business. 

I respectfully request that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau investigate this matter and take appropriate action to ensure XXXX XXXX XXXX complies with all applicable laws. I also ask that XXXX cease all collection efforts until they can provide full and proper documentation of the alleged debt. 

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Product: Checking or savings account — Checking account
Issue: Managing an account — Funds not handled or disbursed as instructed
Company: PNC Bank N.A.
State: IN

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/2025, I was contacted directly by PNCs XXXX XXXX XXXX, who notified me there was some clearly fraudulent checks written on my account and reviewed the items with me which I verified were fraudulent. I was told I would need to dispute them the following day. I disputed all three checks that had cleared my PNC account immediately of XX/XX/2025 including check XXXX  XXXX in the amount of {$2300.00}. 

PNC initially refunded all three checks on XX/XX/2025, however, the credit for check XXXX XXXXXXXX was reversed and the funds were withdrawn again from my account. The other XXXX fraudulent checks from the same incident remain refunded. 



PNCs  XXXX PNC has since denied reimbursement for check XXXX  XXXX, stating that reimbursement was denied because the bank was unable to recover funds from the bank of first deposit. They also referenced my enrollment in XXXX XXXX XXXX as part of their reasoning. 



Why This is Improper XXXX. Inconsistent Handling : PNC admits all three checks were fraudulent, yet only reimbursed the XXXX where they recovered funds from other banks. This is inconsistent and unfair treatment of identical fraudulent transactions. 

XXXX. Improper Reliance on Recovery : Whether PNC recovered funds from another bank has no bearing on my rights as a customer. Under UCC 4-401, a bank can not charge a customers account for an item that is not properly payable. A fraudulent check is never properly payable, regardless of whether PNC is able to recover money from another institution. 

XXXX. Timely Reporting : I reported the fraudulent checks on XX/XX/2025 within XXXX business days of the transactions. Under UCC 4-406, I fulfilled my duty to report unauthorized items in a timely manner. PNC policy allows up to XXXX  days to dispute fraudulent activity. 

XXXX. XXXX XXXX XXXX Mischaracterized : PNCs  reliance on XXXX XXXX XXXX is misplaced. I disputed the checks immediately after being contacted by PNCs  own fraud team. PNC has previously reversed at least XXXX to XXXX fraudulent checks while XXXX XXXX XXXX was active, including the other XXXX checks from this same incident. Their attempt to use XXXX to deny reimbursement in this case is inconsistent with their own prior actions.
