Complaint narrative:
XXXX XXXX, XXXX, I submitted a request to block items on my consumer report as I am a victim of identity theft. This was not a dispute, however, the FCRA has chosen to forgo Federal regulation and apply their company policy to treat this as a dispute. In fact, when I called them, they stated that their policy supersedes Federal law ( which states ) ( a ) Block A consumer reporting agency should block the reporting of any information in the file of a consumer that the consumer identifies as information that resulted from alleged identity theft, not later than 4 business days after the date receipt by such agency of- ( 1 ) appropriate proof of the identity of the consumer ; ( 2 ) a copy of an identity theft report, ( 3 ) the identification of such information by the consumer, and ( 4 ) a statement by the consumer that the information is not information relating to any transaction by the consumer. I submitted proof that my social security number, fingerprints, birthdate, addresses, and other identifying information were affected by the 2015 OPM data breach as well as XXXX 's XXXX data breach. I submitted all the required documents per 15usc1681c and yet the CRA has failed to block this information and it has been over 4 days. Again, this is NOT A DISPUTE.

Next day I call to the number mentioned above and claim for my missing deposit of {$1500.00}. But the customer care representative miscalculated claim amount and she put just {$300.00} instead of {$1500.00}. 

So on XXXX XXXX I got my claim number and temperory credit amount of {$300.00} On XXXX XXXX, I got the letter from BOA stating that the temperory credit of {$300.00} is your permanent credit.

When I called on XXXX XXXX, I reopened my claim again ( re escalating the claim ). 

Even after 45 days completed and I called on XXXX XXXX still they dont have any answer.

Complaint narrative:
Comenity took over the XXXX extra points credit card from XXXX but claims to have the same promotional purchase XXXX ( 0 % interest for XXXX for XXXX ticket purchases ). Purchases made after the card transfer were not placed in the promotional plan, but I did not immediately realize it and paid the expiring promotional balances prior to their expiration. Once I noticed the issue I called and opened a dispute- the call center rep told me it could take XXXX days ( that would have been XXXX ) but that my purchases qualified and would all be taken care of/not an issue moving forward. Because the purchases were not addressed the payments for the deferred interest plans were applied to the new purchases and Im now accruing interest that I shouldnt be. I have followed up by phone and in writing and have received no updates or information or response other than someone will get back to me.

Company: Sezzle Inc.

Complaint narrative:
I reached out to the company several times via chat and email to move my last XXXX payments to another date due to a financial crisis, emergency. I was able to move the XXXX payment initially but it was moved to the same exact date XX/XX/2023 so I would be billed twice on the same date defeating the purpose of me moving the payment. The company told me over and over that there was basically nothing they could do, which to me is a denial of my own extension of credit to them. The original merchant already got paid in full up front, so there's no reason why the requests for me to move payments is a problem. The company XXXX is so unhelpful and cares nothing about it's consumers.

Complaint narrative:
I was making a transaction thinking I was working with my bank which is PNC but it was a scam and the person I was talking to was a scam artist and took {$1600.00} from my account on XX/XX/XXXX. I immediately spoke with my local PNC branch and was assured by management everything would be done to assist me in getting my money bank. Unfortunately, PNC has done nothing to help me and their customer service has been terrible as they never return my calls and never call when they say they will. I was also told by a high level PNC manager at the corporate office who refused to let me speak to his boss and nastily said to me that we can give people money back but he refused to give me back anything. It has been the most frustrating and unprofessional institution and people I have ever had to deal with.
