Company: Avant Holding Company, Inc.
State: NY
Product: Credit card or prepaid card
Sub-product: General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Problem with a purchase shown on your statement
Sub-issue: Card was charged for something you did not purchase with the card

Complaint:
On XX/XX/XXXX I noticed a pending transaction on my credit card account. I rarely use the card and hadn't made any recent purchases, so I called to dispute it right away. The transaction was dated XX/XX/XXXX in the amount of {$100.00} and the merchant was XXXX. I've never even heard of them. I was told that I would have to wait until the charge was posted before reporting it, so I called back on XX/XX/XXXX after it was posted. They listed off XXXX phone numbers they had in their system for me, and only one is accurate. I asked them to remove the other number. They NEVER should have allowed a new number to be entered without notifying me in some way- I've never had that number so I certainly didn't enter it. 

They said the Fraud department would open a fraud claim within 5 business days and they would be in touch with me in that timeframe. I waited the time and then called back on XX/XX/XXXX when I hadn't heard back from them. I was transferred to so many people and nobody was willing to help me with a resolution. One of the representatives told me she escalated my complaint and I should hear back from the Fraud department within 5 business days ( again ). I also decided to send an email to their customer service on XX/XX/XXXX with my complaint, and all they could do is tell me to call the customer service number. I waited the 5 days again and then called back on XX/XX/XXXX. I was transferred to every department, and nobody could provide an update on my claim or assist me with next steps. Most representatives wanted to transfer me to Card Services, but every time I talk to them they inform me that they can only issue a new card ( I had XXXX sent during my first phone call with them ) and they don't actually deal with fraud claims. But the representatives wouldn't listen when I told them to stop transferring me to Card Services. They wouldn't let me talk to somebody in charge and nobody would provide an update on my claim. Overall, I have called them XXXX times ( XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX ) and emailed them XXXX times ( XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX ) and have received absolutely no assistance. I do not want to pay for an unauthorized transaction ( which is my right as a consumer ) but they will not help me with this.

Issue: Problem when making payments
Sub-issue: Problem during payment process

Complaint:
A refund for the amount of {$800.00} was processed to my Apple Card, administered by Goldman Sachs. This refund was declined because it was considered suspicious activity, even though a charge was already on the account for the exact charge- because obviously it was a refund. The representative I spoke to requested I contact the company to reprocess the refund. This is the third time a charge has been declined from this company, and I am baffled as to why a REFUND gets marked as suspicious activity on my card. The company is unable to reprocess the refund and now the representative with Apple Card has instructed me I need to request a dispute on the refund charge. This is outright ridiculous- were talking about a credit to my account! A refund! Per the Customer Agreement I signed, it clearly says refunds will be processed as a credit and it no where says anything about the possibility that a refund can be declined. I never agreed to an institution being able to deny a refund Im justified to getting credited to my card.
