Complaint narrative:
Incorrect data has been added to my file again - likely due to a merge/mixed file. This has been reported in the past under CFPB XXXX XXXXXXXX continues to happen to credit file. I'm currently undergoing underwriting for a mortgage and new accounts were added to my report by only Equifax, again. I've verified with creditors that these are not my accounts and filed a dispute with Equifax. It is negligent and irresponsible handling of personal credit files to make bulk updates/merges of data such as this - the accounts are clearly and easily verifiable as not belonging to me and should not be merged into my file.

Complaint narrative:
I did not approve these transactions to be included in my consumer report, neither in writing nor verbally. Therefore, I formally request that these accounts be blocked and removed from my record. This is not a mistake or a misrepresentation. These transactions were included without my explicit consent or instruction. I am stressing this to highlight the seriousness of my request. It is based on accurate information, and I am not attempting to deceive or manipulate the situation in any way. My intent is solely to ensure that my consumer report reflects only those transactions that I have authorized.

My request is genuine and aimed at correcting an unauthorized inclusion, not at exploiting any system or misleading any party involved.

Company: PNC Bank N.A.
State: IL

Complaint narrative:
Between XXXX and XX/XX/year>, our bank account was hit with unauthorized digital transactions totaling {$1600.00}. These charges were not made or approved by us. We discovered the activity in early XXXX and immediately reported it to PNC Bank. Despite this, the bank denied our dispute, citing either no error or untimely notification, without providing legally required documentation or a valid explanation. 

During the time these charges occurred, we were facing a medical crisis, which delayed our ability to notice them sooner. Still, we acted quickly once aware- and well within the 60-day Reg E window for dispute. These purchases were clearly out of pattern, as there had been no XXXX XXXX transactions on our account for over XXXX months. The sudden spike in digital XXXX purchases should have triggered internal fraud alerts, but it did not. 

PNC failed to conduct a compliant investigation as required by Regulation E. No provisional credit was issued, no documentation was provided, and no reasonable explanation for the denial was ever sent. We repeatedly asked for a breakdown of their findings, and they refused.

This is a clear breakdown of consumer protections. We're seeking formal reinvestigation and a full refund of the {$1600.00} in disputed charges.
