Complaint narrative:
Im writing to dispute the TransUnion record of a XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX report, reference # XXXX, of which the XXXX XXXX was in a accident aroundXX/XX/XXXX. The vechicle was fully covered by XXXX at the time of the accident. The insurance company deemed the car to be totaled. I notified the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX about the accident with the claim number assigned by XXXX. Then I was told by XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX that I did not have to worry about any upcoming monthly payment regarding to that account. I also confirmed with XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX representative that there was nothing I need to do and all the matter would be settled between XXXX XXXX and XXXX. With that being confirmed, I went to XXXX as pre-scheduled. However, when I called XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX again in XXXX to make sure the matter was settled, XXXX XXXX XXXX representative irresponsibly stated that they did not receive the payment from the insurance company. So I contacted the insurance company while I was in XXXX to address this issue, XXXX representative told me that XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX did not contact them. As a result, XXXX did not know how to send the payment. I was confused and stressed, for this issue should have nothing to do with me at this point. However, sadly, I could do nothing but to beg the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX representative to contact the insurance company to offer XXXX the information. I then stayed in XXXX for my own business until XX/XX/XXXX 
When I returned to the US, I received a letter from XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX that asked me to pay {$500.00}, which I immediately payed XXXX XXXX. According to the Lease agreenment XXXX need to notify me in person for unusual circumstance. I did nothing wrong in this whole process : I paid my dues, reported the situation immediately, notified both parties on time, and the only information I had was being notified that I had nothing to worry about. It is certainly the fault of XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX and the insurance company for not contacting each other in time. I had no idea about the {$500.00} extra payment until I got home. I still paid it immediately when I got the notification. However, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX now has reported to the credit bureau for c/o ( charge off ) every month up to now (XX/XX/XXXX ), which is unfair and unlawful. I have evidence for everything I have stated above, and XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX should also have record of the phone calls.

Issue: Managing the loan or lease — Billing problem
Company: General Motors Financial Company, Inc.
State: MA

Complaint narrative:
I am on auto pay and pay my entire lease bill through the autopay feature directly through my checking account monthly. Each month for the past several months, GM Financial has sent me a bill for {$32.00}. Each month I call and sit on hold waiting forever to get through to the call center because they are experiencing, " Unusually high call volume. '' Each month, they tell me they're going to remove the amount. Each month, they tell me it will not happen again. 

Then, the next month comes and I get a bill for {$32.00}. This is attempted theft. I have no doubt that there are people out there paying this erroneously billed amount. 

This month, my bill for {$32.00} came with an additional " PAST DUE '' amount of {$380.00}. 

I called again and learned I'm not past due ... that it is my vehicle 's " property tax '' and I have a year to pay it.

Company: PNC Bank N.A.
State: NV

Complaint narrative:
I have copied below previous complaints submitted. XXXX XXXX from PNC Bank requested that I provide a note from my mother 's doctor stating she was incapable of handling her affairs. I have complied with PNC Bank 's request and provided a note from my mother 's doctor, XXXX XXXX. I also provided several pages of medical records and notes from XXXX ( XXXX ) and XXXX XXXX XXXX ( the 24/7 home care ) indicating my mother was incompetent and unable to communicate. Obviously, my mother could not drive, therefore, the only person who could have taken my mother to the bank ( the day after I left North Carolina ) was my brother, XXXX XXXX. 
This was on XX/XX/XXXX. My mother 's account was set up as payable upon death ( POD ) in my name, XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX. Therefore, my brother took her to the bank on XX/XX/XXXX, the day after I returned to Nevada, per the cancelled check and had PNC close the account. My mother could not communicate, therefore, my brother would have been the only one to 'talk ' to a bank representative as she was unable to speak, write, read, etc. He had no authorization. How he could convince PNC to close my mom 's account is beyond comprehension. There are elder abuse laws regarding financial exploitation and PNC should have been suspicious being that my mom could not communicate to them. They should have called authorities immediately. That did not happen. PNC issued a Cashier 's Check in excess of {$17000.00} and there is no record of where that money went. We do know it didn't go into any of my mother 's accounts. As I was the beneficiary on this account it should have been paid to me upon my mother 's death on XX/XX/XXXX. PNC Bank needs to reimburse me for their error and they can go after my brother for his wrong doing if they choose. All the back-up information has been previously sent in the following complaints : XXXX ; XXXX ; XXXX ; XXXX ; XXXX ; XXXX ; XXXX ; XXXX ; XXXX. I complied with PNC Bank 's demands and have lived up to my responsibility in this matter. It is time they do the same.

Complaint narrative:
I have a debt I am working with the original creditor on and am receiving calls from XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX.

During this phone call I also spoke to XXXX XXXX supervisor and reiterated 2 times that I am not authorized personal calls of any type at work. On XX/XX/2018 at approximately XXXX XXXX XXXX I received a third call from XXXX XXXX at my place of work. I informed him for a third time that I am not authorized personal calls of any type at work. XXXX XXXX stated that there " was no note on my account stating that I am unable to receive calls at work. '' As stated by XXXX XXXX and his supervisor at XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX all calls are recorded. Review of phone call recordings will reveal that I informed both XXXX XXXX and his supervisor that I am not authorized to receive phone calls at work. With the insistent calling to my place of work after being informed I am not authorized calls at work is in direct violation of law.
