Home equity loan or line of credit Loan modification,collection,foreclosure North Carolina

-/-/-, I experienced a loss of employment and was forced to put my home on the market, as I could no longer afford it. I ended up having to do a short sale on the home, and it was approved by my mortgage companies. My - mortgage was completely resolved with the proceeds from the sale. However, soon after, I was notified by PNC Bank that my home equity line of credit was not completely resolved. They told me that a balance was still owed. I immediately resumed payments on this account, and have made consistent, monthly payments on this account for well over three years now. It recently came to my attention that PNC Bank is reporting this account as a collection account! Despite three and a half years of loyal, timely payments, they are reporting this account as a collection account. Additionally, I have discovered that they are re-setting my date of last activity every time I make a payment. So instead of reporting the date of last activity as the date they put the account in collections, they continue to re-set that date monthly. I can only assume that they are doing this to perpetuate the seven years they can continue to report this debt on my credit report. My credit is not perfect, but this situation is having a devastating effect on my overall credit rating. I have contacted PNC Bank about this situation on numerous occasions, but they offer no resolution. There were - different avenues I could have taken about this matter when the short-sale occurred. I could have just let the account go, and stopped making payments. After all, I no longer lived in the house. However, I decided to do the honorable thing, and continue to make loyal payments to this debt. In my opinion, PNC Bank has literally punished me for doing the right thing.
