Consumer Narrative
I made my XXXX mortgage payment like I do every month on the PNC bank website. I clicked on my external account name linked to my personal checking account with wells fargo and clicked pay. In XXXX I went on the PNC website to do the same thing and noticed that my XXXX payment was returned unpaid by my wells fargo. I contacted PNC to see why because I had enough money in my XXXX XXXX checking account to pay that XXXX payment. The PNC rep told me that the account number was wrong. I responded, how could it be wrong I've been making the mortgage payment the same way with the same account since the mortgage started. After numerous phone calls ranging from 45 minutes to 2 hours and 34 minutes, We discovered that someone, we don't know who, entered 3 account numbers, two of which had the incorrect XXXX XXXX account number, and my name was misspelled on three of those accounts. So when I wnet to pay my mortgage, I unknowingly clicked on one of the 2 accounts that had the wrong account number so PNC never got the money. Finally after a 2 hour and 34 minute phone call with 6 different people, PNC and I worked together on line to have the other accounts deleted, and the problem has finally been solved, I requested to have the late fees reversed since I did not enter those incorrect account numbers and the incorrect spelling of my name. On one of the accounts it list my middle initial, which I never ever ever use. They are refusing to credit me the late fees. I have only two theories... One, my account was hacked into, which to me makes no sense since they would have nothing to gain but to cause confusion and chaos. Two, Which makes sense to me ... ..PNC did it themselves to create the {$81.00} late fee. If they do that to just 100 of the thousands of costumers they have, they would create an additional {$8100.00} of revenue to their bank. And it happened to me twice for a total of {$160.00}. That might seem hard to believe by most people but if you've watched enough XXXX XXXX Documentaries like I have, you would know that XXXX XXXX does this all the time in the name of profit. How the Tobacco companies that lied to the public about the cause of XXXX from cigarettes ', How the chemical companies lied about the XXXX causing agent XXXX, and let us not forget about XXXX XXXX 's predatory loans which I'm sure your agency is well knowledgably about. So, in summery, I would like th CFPB to look into PNC Mortgage accounts and to see if there is a pattern of these mystery account names and numbers and any unusually high amounts of late fees they are collecting from their customers
