Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Information belongs to someone else
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: NJ

Complaint narrative:
I'm filing this complaint under the FCRA due to the willful noncompliance of the credit bureaus & data furnishers improperly investigating my disputes, as required under 15 usc 1681 & 15 usc 1681 A-2 ( B ). Despite my repeated submissions of disputes containing sufficient documentation to demonstrate inaccuracies, the credit bureaus have failed to conduct a reasonable reinvestigation & have continued to report inaccurate information to my credit report. Furthermore, the data furnishers have neglected their legal obligation to investigate the disputed information when notified by the credit bureaus. This failure to uphold their responsibilities under the FCRA constitutes a violation of my consumer rights.

Issue: Trouble during payment process — Fees charged
Company: PNC Bank N.A.
State: VA

Complaint narrative:
PNC Mortgage is penalizing consumers who are mailing in their monthly payments. 
XXXX times in the past XXXX months I have received an {$82.00} late fee because they are not posting my payment. Payments were mailed in plenty of time and other checks mailed at the same time are received and cleared my bank account. It is consistently PNC who " Do not receive '' my payments in time before they charge a very hefty late fee. 

If they want me to pay online, they should mandate it. But they continue to provide detachable coupons and mailing envelopes, so it is clearly an approved method of payment. They also give a 15 day grace period, so as long as the payment is received by the XXXX there is no late penalty. But they do not post these payments in a timely matter and then charge late fees that they will not reverse more than twice. I can not blame the Post Office when this happens consistently with only this particular company. This payment is being mailed to XXXX from XXXXXXXX XXXX I'm sure the USPS can handle that in less than XXXX weeks. 

I feel this is a coercion tactic to force consumers to pay online. PNC is liable for not posting consumer payments in a timely manner.

Complaint narrative:
Experian and Equifax has failed to fulfill its legal obligation under the Fair Credit R Act ( FCRA ) to conduct a reasonable reinvestigation of disputed information credit report, leaving inaccurate or unverifiable accounts unresolved. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) has recently filed a lawsuit against Experian and Equifax, alleging systemic issues such as failing to forward consumer-provided evidence to furnishers, accepting unreliable responses, and failing to adequately notify consumers of dispute outcomes. These failures align with my experience, where Experian and Equifax has neither corrected nor removed disputed items despite the evidence I provided, causing ongoing harm to my credit standing. I am requesting immediate corrective action to remove or amend the disputed accounts, as Experian and Equifax inaction violates federal law and my rights as a consumer.
